After rejection of state funding by Ohio Gov. John Kasich as one of the first acts of his new administration, the ensuing re-scoping of the project and a defeat of a local ballot initiative to kill it completely, construction of the starter segment of the Cincinnati Streetcar is finally under way. The local water utility, Greater Cincinnati Water Works, is relocating the water mainline so that the shallow-trench track construction can begin. Overcoming oppositionThe project was much bigger at the time that the U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) awarded the project a $25 million Urban Circulator grant in 2009, part of the FTA's, EPA's and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Liveability Initiative. Some observers believe that Gov. Kasich, elected in the conservative backlash that swept the 2010 elections, singled out the streetcar project for cuts because of its high profile in the Obama Administration's Livability policy. After all, it was given the highest rating of all transportation projects in the Buckeye State by a nonpartisan panel charged with evaluating projects for state funding.
However, it is also worth pointing out that the recently defeated referendum attempting to kill the project was also supported by the local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), not exactly a right-wing interest group. The NAACP was against it due to some concerns about gentrification that might be brought about by the urban renewal that is expected to result.
Once the referendum was defeated, U.S. DOT officials supplemented the earlier Urban Circulator Grant with a Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grant. This one was for $10.9 million. The rest of the $110 million project cost will be city municipal bond proceeds, some in-kind, and cash private sector contributions as well as a Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality grant from the federal highway program.
As with most modern streetcar projects, construction is proceeding one city block at a time and will be completed quickly, which generates a catalyst for economic development that is faster and often far greater than with other modes, according to several studies of streetcar systems in the U.S. Vehicular and pedestrian traffic will be maintained during construction in each block, because both a lane of traffic and the sidewalk remain open. Revenue service is anticipated to begin in 2014.First segmentThe first segment consists of five modern streetcars operating along a couplet (circulator route) configuration, comprising four miles of single track in one direction. This starter segment includes 18 stops. The schedule will involve 10-minute headways at morning and afternoon peaks and 20-minute headways during off-peak times. The operating schedule is 16 to 18 hours per day, seven days per week.
Future extensions will include a connection and circulator through Cincinnati's Uptown area, the region's second largest employment center and home to the University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati Children's Hospital and the Cincinnati Zoo.
Although the City of Cincinnati is the project sponsor and owner, the Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority (SORTA) will operate the system through an Intergovernmental Agreement. SORTA is also the FTA grantee that received the Urban Circulator grant and will manage both that and the other federal grants, including the TIGER grant and the flexible funds from the highway program being used to fund the first segment.
"From day one, the Cincinnati Streetcar has been the little engine that could, and I am so proud of the community and its leaders for standing up on behalf of this important project and shepherding it through to this critical milestone." says Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood. "The story in Cincinnati is about a community coming together, setting its priorities, and not being dissuaded by the naysayers or those who don't want progress."
LaHood and others supporting streetcar projects do so as investments in the future of cities, accelerating development and revitalizing the urban core of cities that undertake them. They look to the billions of dollars in economic development accelerated around the streetcar lines built in such diverse places as Portland, Ore.; Seattle; Little Rock, Ark.; Kenosha, Wis.; and Tampa, Fla. Moreover, they also look at the attraction redeveloped urban neighborhoods have in a changing economy, particularly to young professionals desiring a more walkable, diverse lifestyle. Because of this latter point, many cities see streetcars and the attendant urban redevelopment strategies as part of their overall economic strategies to attract industries looking to hire younger, more educated populations.

rundll32 running at 40-50%
I just installed windows 7 about a week ago, and when I go to run a game now, the CPU goes up to a 40-50% workload due to rundll32, and the game does not start. Then when I click on the game icon again, it loads, but when I quit the game, rundll32 is still using 40-50%. This happens when I try to run Age of Empires 3 or Return to Castle Wolfenstein.
Any ideas?

Do you play any games that work exactly like they are supposed to? With some older games I have to play them in XP Mode. You have Ultimate. Why not try downloading and running it. Play your games in XP Mode and see if there is a problem.

Thanks for the speedy reply!
I guess I could try that, but it was working fine a week ago, when I installed everything. I guess I started noticing it after I installed RTCW, which was working fine for a while as well. I just don't see why or how it could just suddenly do this. I installed the latest updates for windows about a week ago as well, and I don't think I have a virus or any spyware because my computer is currently not connected to the internet.
There is one game that runs fine and that is Penumbra Overture, but all others have this problem.
The only solution I have found is to end the process after the game is running, but sometimes it is hard to get back to the desktop in some games :P
|My System Specs
|19 Jul 2010
Didn't realize that they worked fine then suddenly started acting weird. Hitting ctrl+shift+esc usually opens task manager directly, as opposed the menu that comes up in 7. Anytime I open task manager it automatically minimizes and sometimes pauses my games.
After doing some searching it seems that some older games (like RTCW) don't work quit right on vista/7 and can cause others to have problems as well. I want to do some more research before recommending a solution, as some people say certain fixes work, will others say those same fixes don't. I try to figure out what works best and get back to you.
|My System Specs
|19 Jul 2010
Okay, think I found away to fix it. I won't go into too many details about what causes it. Go to the start menu. Click all programs, games, games explorer. If a pop up does not happen, click options. Set it to not check online for updates, and uncheck the two boxes about collecting info for your games. It seems that when the a certain dll tries to collect the info from the internet it starts an infinite loop of sorts. This should solve your problem. Please write back with the results of doing this.

I tried that, but it didn't work. I even restarted my computer after i made those changes.

I would try to find out which .dll is being run by this .exe. You might be able to do that with Process Explorer. Right click on the rundll.exe in question and go to properties and see what you find. You can kill the process there or if it runs several threads you can kill the thread that uses all the CPU time.

rundll32.exe is being used by the games I try to run (AOE3, RTCW)

Wardrobe Diaries: Style Swap
Photo Credit: Perry Hagopian
Michelle, Day 3
I run a few errands, but am claustrophobic in the wretched denim pencil skirt and tight black T-shirt. I am forced to retreat to my couch the only place I am allowed to wear my own clothes. This evening I get dressed for the ballet. Is there no respite from sensible black even on weekends? The on-the-town look Julia offers is a black strapless dress, black cardigan, and pink pearls (vomit!). Maybe this is a perfectly appropriate outfit for the occasion. However, I am not a fan of blending in with the crowd. At least at the ballet, I'll ID with the dancers yes, ballet flats again. "An aberration" is how an elderly friend sweetly summarizes my getup. Meanwhile, she's resplendent in her signature Chanel vintage costume jewelry. I feel like I'm about to go insane.

Lovely, just as described, my daughter loved it. It fits nice and looks good.
this is a very nice ring,with well defined workmanship and nicely polished finish.the nice feature of this ring is it doesn't have the usual hands next to the heart found on most of this style of ring, giving this ring a unique apperance. consider ordering one size larger than ring size as this ring was smaller than size ordered.
I have had the ring several months and have not had any issues with tarnishing as I have had with other rings. It's a great buy. I ge complimentson it all the time.
I like this ring since it's small in scale and I have small hands. It's priced well for what it is.
grand daughter loved it. thought it was very nice.

I arrived in Lisbon into a traveler's limbo, too early for check-in and too hungry and tired to be a proper tourist. With three hours to idle away I ventured outside to find a pastelaria, remembering advice from my friends ""Don't forget to try the Pastel de Nata!". These bakeries/cake shops are tucked in almost every neighborhood, sometimes several on the same block, serving breads, sandwiches, pastries and the Portuguese quintessential egg custard tarts.
With no particular destination, I wandered Lisbon's narrow streets, learning to jaywalk like the locals and sidestepping speeding taxis. Away from the pedestrian corridor, laundry decorates the buildings like flags, revealing a more personal side of the city.
The elegant façade and ceiling to floor windows display a fading affluence, one that has merged with the pervasive graffiti and grit of daily life.
It lacks the rigorous upkeep of popular tourist destinations and neither does it have the resort holiday "vibe". Yet under the urban art, cracks and peeling paint, the architectural beauty has not diminished and one that tells the rich history of the Portuguese.
I passed darkened grocery stores and small family restaurants before finding a window filled with every pastry imaginable, including one I recognized as Pastel de Nata. After mind numbing airport delays, sprinting to catch badly timed connecting flights, security checks that had me scrambling to get my shoes and belt back on, I would do it all again to taste Portugal's legendary pastry. My first bite was a revelation; a full bodied, velvety cream encased in a flaky caramelized pastry crust. This unassuming treat seemed way too luxurious to be eaten for a midweek breakfast, yet it is served at almost every side street bakery.
Thankfully I planned this trip with Boston food blogger, Zahavah who didn't need to be convinced of the priorities. We made just a cursory visit to the important monuments and skipped the museums all together.
Instead we found ourselves touring the city's pastelarias, culminating at Pastéis de Belém, the most famous in the country. The original egg custard tarts were first made here almost two hundred years ago by the nuns of Jeronimos Monastery. As a result of the liberal revolution of 1820 the monastery was forced to close and the clergy began baking these pastries for economic survival. The tradition continued in 1837, when they opened a bakery in the Belem neighborhood of Lisbon using a secret recipe passed on from the monastery. Eventually the pastries as well as the shop became known as Pastéis de Belém and their popularity quickly spread to other areas of Portugal. Outside the Belem Bakery the pastry is known as pastel de nata (plural, pasteis de nata).
There really should be legal limit to the number of these pastries that can be eaten as they are truly addicting."It's disgusting how good these are", Zahavah observed as the shop filled with a constant stream of customers. Other writers have described it as "deadly" and I see that only as a complement. It is all too easy to eat yourself into a stupor or worse, a pastry coma.
We stumbled out of the shop much later, taking an electric trolley back to the center. Which pastry did I like the best? There is a reason why Pastéis de Belém has become a pilgrimage for those seeking the pinnacle of traditional Portuguese pastries.

BALTIMORE (AP) -- Maryland's crab harvest last year led the nation. That's according to figures released Wednesday by the National Marine Fisheries Service.
Nearly 200 million pounds of blue crabs were landed nationwide last year, with Maryland accounting for more than 25 percent of the harvest. Louisiana was second with 22 percent and Virginia third at 19 percent. However, the crab catch in the Chesapeake region was down slightly at nearly 88 million pounds.
And while the overall harvest increased almost 8 percent, the value of the harvest dropped nearly 15 percent to about $180 million. The federal figures show watermen received an average of 91 cents a pound, compared to $1.15 a pound the year before.

Stand-up comedy we know today was born in the 1950's. The talent might have been from the increasingly unfashionable Music Halls, but the new venues - Folk Clubs and Nightclubs - altered the comedic chemistry.
There were still the bands (now more rock and roll than family fun), the crowds were smaller and less formally arranged. This setup was far better suited to standup style comedy. A single performer, talking directly to the audience.
As an act between bands the best performers knew the right notes to hit. Acts designed for the Music Halls wouldn't get anywhere with the funky young babyboomers.
Jack E. Leonard and Lenny Bruce became amongst the most famed for their acerbic social commentary. Their style and content was controversial and, at times, insulting. Bruce was arrested and ultimately acquitted of criminal obscenity charges after referring to people as "cocksuckers".
These early heros of stand-up comedy, along with many others, oversaw live comedy's passage through the cultural revolution. Whilst the old guard abhored it, for many of the young people in urban Britain and America, standup was expressing what David Bowie would call "Changes".

NTSB Identification:
Accident occurred Sunday, May 08, 2005 in Tanauan City, Philippines
Aircraft: Cessna 207, registration:
Injuries: 4 Fatal,2 Serious.
This is preliminary information, subject to change, and may contain errors. The foreign authority was the source of this information.
On May 8, 2005, approximately 1100 local, a Cessna 207, RPC-3216, impacted the terrain near Tanauan City, Batangas Province, Philippines. Two of the occupants survived, and four, including the pilot, received fatal injuries. The aircraft, which was owned by Chemtrad Corporation, was destroyed in the accident sequence. The aircraft reportedly departed Barradas Airstrip in Baragay Santor around 1100, and was beginning its climb to altitude when the accident sequence began.
According to witnesses, smoke started trailing from the aircraft, which was being used to take parachutists to drop altitude, soon after takeoff. Soon thereafter the aircraft started flying erratically, and eventually crashed into the terrain, where it was engulfed by flame.
This investigation is under the jurisdiction of the government of the Philippines. Any further information pertaining to his accident may be obtained from:

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Iran's state TV says the country has put its first domestically produced helicopters into service, displaying them at an air show.
The report says the 12-passenger Panha-1 and eight-passenger Panha-2 helicopters have military capabilities.
The unveiling came Tuesday during an aviation exhibition on the Gulf island of Kish.
Iran also displayed a new six-passenger airplane and landing gear for a jet fighter.
Iran began a military self-sufficiency program in 1992. It periodically announces accomplishments in the fields of industry and military production.
Ten countries, including Russia, China, Ukraine, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Sudan, are participating in the exhibition that ends Friday.

Mr. Gross is a 62-year-old husband, father, and dedicated professional with a long history of providing assistance and support to underserved communities in more than 50 countries. We continue to call on the Cuban government to release Alan Gross and return him to his family, where he belongs.

|Chesterton on Christmas
|By George J. Marlin
|Monday, 28 December 2009
For those of us who love and admire the British Catholic journalist, Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936), he lives still in his Inverness cape, with sword cane and pince-nez. And he lives because his words are timeless. His commentaries and views on the continuing dehumanization of man, the so-called social sciences, the idealistic movements and totalitarian ideologies, and the intellectual fashions of his day continue to be relevant in our own age. Even The New York Times conceded in September 1986, "Chesterton was one of those indispensable writers whose job it was to keep modern art and life honest."
Chesterton truly enjoyed life. His delight was to be with his beloved common man whether in a pub, chophouse, or on an omnibus. The result: hours of hilarious discussions and debates over bottles of port. Always, the quest was for the truth and preservation of what Russell Kirk has called the "Permanent Things."
The great man's favorite season was Christmas. He could easily pass as Father Christmas and I'm sure he held Christmas pageants on the specially designed stage in his home, Top Meadow, to entertain neighborhood children. Chesterton also wrote extensively about the birth of the Christ child.
For a quarter of a century, my wife, Barbara, and I have printed special Christmas cards that contained an excerpt of Chesterton's reflections on the season. When we were selecting this year's quotation, my wife handed me a file that holds a copy of past Christmas cards. Reading through them I was, once again, awed by Chesterton's vision.
I'd like to share some of these Chestertonian nuggets with readers of The Catholic Thing:
Pretty good stuff. That's why Chesterton's publisher at Sheed and Ward (and later his biographer), Maisie Ward, described his essays as going "to the heart of his thought. Some men, it may be, are best moved to reform by hate, but Chesterton was best moved by love and nowhere does that love shine more clearly than in all he wrote about Christmas."
George J. Marlin is the General Editor of The Collected Works of G.K. Chesterton and one of the editors of The Quotable Chesterton, both published by Ignatius Press.

A successful business understands that marketing their goods and services is just as important has having high-quality good and services. A comprehensive marketing campaign is absolutely necessary in order to promote what you have to offer and attract an appropriate audience. Such measures are just as important when it comes to promoting online businesses; and what an advertising agency is to a traditional business, a website optimization firm is to a website in this capacity.
A website optimization firm can be instrumental in promoting your particular website and will generally work on a number of levels. First and foremost, a website optimization firm will assist you in creating the very best configuration for your site – combining form and function to create the most efficient and enjoyable user experience.
But beyond these aesthetics, the content of your website is what will matter most when it comes to promoting your site. Relevant content – in the form of articles and blogging – will add value to your site, over and above the goods and services that you are offering. Further, content that is refreshed on a regular basis will help capture a regular audience, as well as triggering the attention of the online search engines. So when online search engine users enter criteria for a search that is relevant to the goods and services that you offer, ideally the keywords that they use will match the keywords in your online content. Like word of mouth, online content creates a buzz and the buzz perpetuates self-promotion. A website optimization firm can create and update online content so as to keep your site as fresh as possible and in the best possible position for positive promotion.
Further, website promotion is at its finest when it comes to link reciprocity. We've all been on websites where we see relevant links to other websites. This is link reciprocity and such links act as virtual endorsements for quality websites. The more links that a website shares with other sites, the higher their search engine rankings and the more website promotion that they will ultimately receive. A website optimization firm can professionally handle link reciprocity negotiations, aligning your website with other high-quality and reputable sites.

I discovered McCann's Irish Oatmeal when I lived in Paris some 40 years ago. So wonderful was it that I wrote to the company in Ireland to congratulate them on the product. To my great surprise, they wrote me back a charming letter and sent me six tins of this product as a gift to thank me for my enthusiasm. I only recently discovered that iherb.com sells it. Hooray! It is like no other oatmeal on earth. It takes 30 minutes to simmer and is well worth the wait. I love mine topped with butter or sheep's milk and a sprinkling of organic cinnamon.
Love it, love it, love it!

I love it a lot more than a regular quick "1 min" oatmeal. I don't cook it as recommended on the package. I make it a lot more simple: in the evening I take thermos, preheat it with boiling water, add 4 tbsp of oats, fill it up with boiling water, close the thermos tightly and leave till the morning. In the morning I serve warm oatmeal with fruits and honey.

I love the nutty taste of this oatmeal. I cook a large pot of it at the start of the week and reheat it every morning with soy milk and blueberries. Easy and healthy.

I'm from New Zealand where you can only buy rolled oats, so I didn't really understand what I was buying and have never tried this kind of oatmeal before. So when I examined the cooking instructions, at first I was surprised at the length you have to go to in preparing this, but when it came time to eating, I was very excited and impressed! This will definitely be a regular part of my breakfast options from now on! As an oldie, I also like the retro-style can.
Superfast delivery

AOpen XC Cube EZ65
Manufacturer: AOpen
by Dean Barker (11/19/2003)
Is it bigger than a breadbox? How about a toaster? When I first saw these mini cube PC's I thought the same thing everyone else did that never played with one, "isn't that cute but it can't have any real power though I bet." I was right about the cute but very wrong about the power. AOpen is bursting onto the Cube PC market with two models; one based around the Intel Socket 478 and the other around the more AMD Socket A. These Cube PCs include the case, mainboard and power supply. Add your own CPU, drives and memory and you got yourself a small but ballsy machine.
The Socket 478 model called the EZ65 is what we are reviewing here today. It's mainboard is based around the Intel 865G chipset. This allows for use of 400/533/800MHz FSB processors, 266/333/400MHz Dual Channel DDR, on board VGA, Sound and NIC. What's nice about the NIC is that it is Gigabit. Meaning it supports transfer rates of 10/100/1000 mbps. The Socket A model called the EZ18 is based around the venerable nForce2-GT chipset. The EZ18 supports 200/266/333MHz Dual Channel DDR, 200/266/333MHz FSB Socket A processors, on board VGA, Sound and NIC. Sorry, no Gigabit here. Let's turn our attention to the EZ65 model and look at the official specs.

Quantum of Solace
Quantum of Solace
|Marc Foster
|Daniel Craig, Olga Kurylenko, Mathieu Amalric, Judi Dench, Giancarlo Giannini, Gemma Arterton
|Release Date:
|Action, Suspense
The latest entry in the James Bond franchise begins in the middle of a car chase and doesn't let up for more than a few quick breaths until the credits roll. This time around, the superspy is out for vengeance for the death of his one great love, Vesper Lynd, in Casino Royale two years ago. This apparent blood thirst none too pleases his superior and mother figure, M (Judi Dench), who still can't keep Bond (played with engaging invincibility by Daniel Craig) on a tight enough leash. It doesn't help that Bond has, if flimsy evidence can be trusted, discovered the existence of a secret organization called Quantum that's willing to trade terror for wealth and international power. Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric), a prominent eco-minded businessman with questionable ties, is his best lead, and Bond follows him from Haiti to Austria to Bolivia, leaving a trail of bodies in his wake that sets his own spy organization, as well as the CIA, after him.
Along the way, Bond manages to save the life of Camille (Olga Kurylenko), a Bolivian secret agent out to protect her country from a military coup spurred on by Quantum and, like Bond, get a little vengeance of her own for the murder of her family years ago. Consequently, Bond and Camille serve as broken mirrors of each other as they try to survive boat chases, being shot down by outdated fighters, and an underwhelming fiery finale, a let down only because of the wonderfully staged action sequences leading up to it. This mirror also culminates with an uncharacteristic lack of bodily-fluid exchange, a dramatic twist that has a much more substantial impact on Bond's future than would a quick romp.
If Quantum of Solace fails to live up to its predecessor, it's no fault of director Marc Forster; by virtue of its extremely focused and narrow storyline, it never rises above being a bookend to the Bond origin assayed in Casino Royale. Forster, however, triumphs in the movie's spectacularly conceived, executed, and edited action sequences that are so operatic that he even juxtaposed one against an extravagant performance of Tosca. There's also a confusing lack of fun here, again by virtue of the chosen story--007 really only smirks at the audience once this time through. James Bond has always been about wish fulfillment, but it's not clear anymore why anyone would wish to be in his shoes.

Lauren Conrad makes catwalk debut at LA Fashion Week
It was the moment of truth yesterday for The Hills star Lauren Conrad (L.C.), as she finally made her catwalk debut at Mercedes-Benz LA Fashion Week.
The MTV personality showcased her signature collection at Smashbox Studios, in front of a crowd which included Kristin Cavallari, her former high school rival on Laguna Beach.
Prior to the show, she admitted to being nervous: "It's one thing to have your designs displayed in stores. To have them walk down the runway is a really big deal."
So was her collection worth the wait? Keep reading to see for yourself...
Simple yet sophisticated was the order of the day at L.C's first show, which held remnants of her recent trip to Paris in gloves and berets. Her 30-piece collection, including jersey dresses, high waisted skirts, one-shoulder numbers and tiered frocks was, admittedly, nothing new, but entirely wearable. Which, let's face it, is what her many fans were hoping for.
And what did L.C. herself think of her first LA Fashion Week experience?
"I didn't really get to see it," she said. "I was busy getting them all ready backstage."
Thatta girl!

F__k the patent created fake landrushes
Valid patent or not the fact is a bunch of people are going to get screwed because somebody had better lawyers than the other person. This is so lame. I thought patents required you to RAND off your IP (sell to anyone at a fair price) if someone wanted to use it? This should be required or else it is nothing but an unstable landrush that long term will harm society and our technology.
Eh? Prior art, surely?
"EchoStar originally lost a 2004 patent infringement lawsuit that accused the company of improperly using Tivo's DVR technology that lets users record live television while simultaneously watching another program."
I was recording live TV while watching another channel nearly a third of a century ago.
I don't generally watch TV anymore, so maybe I'm missing something ...
Clarification on Tivo v Echostar
Great article! Just one thing. I think your last paragraph is a bit off. They were given a temporary stay of the court order which stipulated the dvr functionality had to be shut off in 30 days. The stay could last only days, or it could last months depending on which direction the appeals court decides to take.
Oh dear
Someone's getting the sack for that one. Or depending on how they run the company, something more....permanent.
On a side note, can't wait to get Tivo* here in NZ at the end of the year. Yup, hooks up to Freeview and their HD broadcasts. Nice.
* Official stuff - none of this personally imported and hacked freetard nonsense.
...they could just license the patents.
But I guess that's too obvious.
seems cruel to me.
Both cruel on echostar and it's customers.
why don't they just settle for a license fee?
They could just licence the patent like they should have done in the first place???
And the loser....
The consumer.
Thanks Patents once again.
And then...
they will have 4 million angry customers demanding their money back because the set top bax has been knackered.
Someone must have done this before TIVO surely?
With PC TV cards having been around for a long time there must have been someone out there who did this before TIVO using their PC.
Either way the US patent system is laughable.
If they are unable to solve the problem without infringing the patent then either the patent is overbroad or obvious. If a problem can only be solved one way then that solution is obvious no matter how complex or convoluted it may be.
Does Tivo not care about the consumers?
Are Tivo happy to screw over 4 million people and reduce the functionality in their boxes by insisting on a retrospective downgrade due to copyright? Yeah, thanks for that guys, very nice.
I hope TIVO wins
but only because echostar has screwed over soooo many subscribers with their bait & switch offers and other typical cable company like behavior. It I could put a stick in their eye, I would do it.
On the gripping hand, I am sure there is plenty of prior art out there that involves watch one and record the other, but it probably comes down to the recording and storage protocols used, that are likely unique to TIVO, and not easily reproduced. They need to get an engineer with absolutely no prior involvement with either product to design the work around. And if the problem is unique to the hardware, I see recalls and customer demands for free replacements in the future.
Technical Service Manager
To ASDF, I'm sure TiVo has tried to have Dish Network lease the technology that change TV viewing forever. If not how did other cable providers get the technology and the famous logo on thier sets. Wake up a crook is still a crook even when they hide behind a dish a dish a dish. sounds like an echo to me.
Suck it Dish
They've had ages to do a licensing agreement with Tivo, like DirecTv. The cost would certainly not be prohibitive, a few bucks per box and/or the right for Tivo to make boxes for Dish. Dish decided to gamble and lost, now pay up.
License need not be offered.
Anyone who owns a TUTV box has already been through similar experience. TUTV were forced to issue a firmware update which disabled owners from being able to select "Favourite" channels. In this case TUTV made it quite clear that whilst owners owned the hardware they only licensed the software and that they were fre to make changes. It was covered in the EUL.
There is no reason for TIVO to grant a licence to any company. I work in the lighting industry and many products get patents to prevent their competitors from making interchangeable parts.

EL PASO — If you want to watch the Asarco smokestacks come down you can purchase a front row seat high atop Mount Cristo Rey. The mountain is one of the best vantage points in the area. The Mount Cristo Rey Restoration Committee is asking for a $5 donation on demolition day, $20 if you want a spot in the crown at the base of the statue on the actual monument.
The committee recommends people head up the mountain around 4:30 a.m if they want to get there in time to watch the stacks come down.
"From the very top you can have a clear shot. It's a clear view and it's going to be a perfect place to watch it from. The distance is just perfect so hopefully we don't get any of the dust or debris that may come. If it does that's going to be quite a way for it to travel," said Ruben Escandon of the restoration committee.
Extra staff will also be brought in to help make sure the hike is safe for anyone who decides to make the trek to the summit.

A Natural Substance Free Super Hero
Thousands of years past tiny creatures inhabited the world. These creatures lived and died in the sea and by so doing became superheroes. Filtration De created one of the worlds wonder products.
Called Diatoms, these microscopic sea creatures died and lived by the millions leaving behind miniature skeletons. The seas dried up and skeletons' deposits became one. Modern mining approaches unearthed these and the world was introduced to the miracle.
Food quality DE has infinite uses. Filtration DE should only be employed for swimming pool filters.
The food quality Diatomaceous Earth is a fine-milled powder that is white and is endowed. It is called Earth or Shell Flour. DE is EPA and FDA approved.
The filtration Diatomaceous Earth can be used for swimming pool filtration. Swimming pool DE is DANGEROUS for use besides in filtration systems and is a big milled product. It should NEVER be applied in some other way. Swimming pool DE has big crystals which are too sharp for everyday use.
Food quality diatomaceous earth [silalive.com] can be used for -
It's safe and effective. DE is created in the crushed skeletons. These crushed parts, with microscopic sharp edges, scrape on the outer skeletal shells of insects causing the animals to perish. The insects usually are not killed by DE but rather they die from dehydration caused the drying quality and by the scrapes their shells. It happens gradually, working slowly but effectively. The remaining powder stays viable and will kill any insects which get into it for.
AGRICULTURE – In agriculture DE can be used in grain crop storage and in livestock maintenance. In grain crops that were reaped it is used two means. It is added to storage grains prevent and to kill insect infestation and in milled grain harvests like flour it is added as an anti-caking agent. DE's miniature skeletal parts make a great means of commanding caking and don't bond together. For livestock care DE is fed to livestock and enhances the animals' overall well-being. It's thought that the DE flushes both the intestinal tracts and blood vessels of debris buildup supplying overall health benefits.
Among the advantages is that it's chemical free. Insects can build no fortitude to DE as they do with all chemical pesticides and DE continues to kill as long as it's in place.
DE is also non-toxic. Compounds can be injurious to more compared to the planned target. Chemicals can damage or kill creatures, plants, birds as well as folks. The hazardous side effects of substances make DE the preferred choice for insect control.
Diatomaceous Earth is a superior choice for container, house plant or garden use and will even kill insects.
3) EARTH CONTROL – Diatomaceous Earth is utilized as a desiccant and dries where ever it's used. In agriculture it is employed to dry regions which are wet. It will dry pee and in stables or wet areas around water tanks but has poisonous effects. In addition, it has scent absorbing qualities making it the choice in chicken coops or barns.
4) WELL-BEING – For health purposes DE is fed to livestock (generally dairy cattle) and improves overall well-being of the animals but people for exactly the same rationale also consume it. It's thought that the DE flushes both blood vessels of debris build up and the intestinal tracts providing health benefits.
It is a natural means of detoxifying heavy metals from your body. DE consumes metals and flushes the creatures out of the body in a non poisonous way.
6) WORM & PARASITE CLEANSE – Worms can be quite debilitating and and parasites infect all living mammals. Often the chemical drugs are more hazardous compared to worms although critters are regularly doused with chemicals. People are loath to talk about parasites considering themselves free of them but all individuals have at one time or another had "worms." Diatomaceous Earth have regularly, will kill worm and parasite infestations in precisely the same fashion as it kills insects. The fine powder cuts and scratches the worms/parasites killing the animals and then helps flush them in the body. Intestinal parasites are only worked on by dE. Brain and heart parasites are killed JUST in their larvae state while in the digestive system.
It can be a safe and exceptionally effective method to control fleas, ticks and lice. Many birds and animals endure acute allergies in the conventional chemical flea and tick (and lice) products resulting in awful suffering and even death. Used routinely, shaking a little DE on the creature or on a bird, will control infestations. Should the creature lick their coats or ingest any of the DE they will not be harmed by it. Fed to the creature, DE controls parasites and worms and stool odor is also controlled by it.
Diatomaceous Earth is made from microscopic creatures with super powers. It's an environmentally friendly, non-toxic, chemical free multi-purposed powder which protects our world today and both helps. Diatomaceous Earth can be a mouthful to pronounce but it should be on everybody's lips.
Diatomaceous Earth, truly these small creatures are the superheroes of Nature!

Rome, Italy, Friday 17 June: Partners of patients newly diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are equally emotionally affected by the diagnosis and go through the same grieving process as the patients themselves, according to the results of a study presented today at EULAR 2010, the Annual Congress of the European League Against Rheumatism in Rome, Italy.
In a discrete UK study, investigators interviewed the partners of RA patients to assess their thoughts and feelings at the time of their partners RA diagnosis and the ways that they adapted to the diagnosis, over time. Analysing the transcripts of in-depth interviews, researchers reported that all partners of RA patients reported common issues, grouped into the following areas:
"The results of our research have shown that partners of patients are as emotionally affected as the patient by the diagnosis," said Julie Taylor, University of the West of England, Bristol, United Kingdom and lead author of the study. "We recommend that, if clinicians and health care professional are able to offer support to the partners of patients at the time they require it, then this will create a foundation of greater support for the patients, resulting in improved emotional outcomes for both parties."
"Diagnosis with rheumatic conditions can have a devastating impact on family life," said Neil Betteridge, Vice President, PARE and Chief Executive Officer of Arthritis Care in the UK. "Many respondents to a recent survey conducted by Arthritis Care* tell us of a grieving process they've been through - for the loss of a world which so recently had been their biggest source of security. We encourage healthcare professionals to offer support and guidance to partners of those diagnosed with rheumatic conditions, in addition to the patient, in the hope of minimising the impact of diagnosis on patient's closest relationships."
Six spouses of patients diagnosed with RA at the North Bristol Health Care Trust with a minimum of three years since diagnosis were interviewed on a range of topics. Transcripts were subject to thematic analysis using the Hermaneutic phenomenological approach, a technique designed to give a descriptive interpretation of interview responses.

LAKEVILLE — The parents of a 12-year-old LaVille Junior/Senior High School student reportedly spanked and slapped by a special education teacher has notified the Union North United School Corporation that they intend to proceed with legal action.
Parents Tracy Martin and Michael Cuthbert have secured legal counsel through the Frazier Law Firm in Indianapolis. The tort put forth shows that the parents are seeking a maximum of $700,000 per incident.
According to Union North Superintendent Mitch Mawhorter, the corporation received a notice on Nov. 26 that legal action was being taken. Mawhorter said the interests of the school are being handled through Attorney Susan Traynor-Chastain, hired by JESSE (Joint Educational Services in Special Education) ,and that the matter was reported to the corporation's insurance carrier. Mawhorter said there is a 90-day period for a response to the notice by the corporation.
The former teacher, Saundra Yute, who resigned from Union North within 20 minutes of the alleged incident on Nov. 20, is now facing a Class D Felony charge for battery to a child. Police say that Yute slapped and spanked the 7th grade student after the youth had a bathroom accident. The child has Sturge-Weber Syndrome, which leaves her with severe neurological problems.
Yute bonded out of the St Joseph County Jail within 90 minutes of her arrest Dec. 13. Yute is a licensed teacher and was working for Union North under an "emergency license" allowing her to teach in a special needs classroom. LaVille Junior/Senior High School Principal Jeremy Tucker indicated that Yute was a guidance counselor prior to coming to LaVille.
The child has now returned to the school after being absent for three weeks. Tucker said the class that the student attends is now being taught by a retired special education teacher. He said that plans are to transfer a special education teacher from another special education class in the corporation to the "Life Skills " classroom and fill her current position with a teacher who will be certified on Jan. 1.
Mawhorter said they held a case conference with the parents and others before the child returned to the school.

Wait, isnt this pretty much exactly what he said when we asked him about the Plaza? (The Plaza is top of the line. We have A-list celebs only, and models.)

SAN MARCOS, Texas - After helping the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns to one of their best season in school history, a trio of Cajuns were honored at the Sun Belt Conference Banquet, on the eve of the 2013 Sun Belt Conference Championships.
Junior Grace Howell-Harries picked up the teams biggest honor, earning the SBC Defensive Player of the Year award.
Howell-Harries was joined by freshman Yazmin Montoya on the SBC All-Conference First Team, and freshman Annika Schmidt was named SBC All-Conference Second Team.
It was the first time in school history that a Ragin' Cajuns soccer player was named either the offensive or defensive player of the year. The Cajuns also placed the most players on the team in school history, only seeing four others named in school history.
For Howell-Harries, it is her second time being honored at the Sun Belt banquet. The junior was named second team all-Sun Belt as a freshman at Louisiana.
The London, Ontario native has played every minute of every match in the past two seasons and added her first two career goals this season, as well as an assist for five points. The backbone of the Cajuns' defensive corps, Howell-Harries was named a team captain before the season.
Montoya had a stellar conference season, leading the Sun Belt in goals and points scored in conference games. The freshman had nine goals and two assists for 20 points, leading the Sun Belt by four points, and averaged 2.5 points a game, leading that category by one-half point.
The West Covina, Calif., native scored 20 of her 29 points in the final nine matches of the season, and set the school's all-time record for points in a season. She ranks in a tie for fifth all-time for points with three years of eligibility remaining.
Schmidt was the Cajuns' lone mention on the all-conference second team, after scoring 10 goals in the first 10 games. With a goal and an assist against Georgia State she scored her 22nd point of the season, breaking the record for points in a season at Louisiana, before Montoya later established a new record.
A native of Nufringen, Germany, Schmidt started the season on a tear. She scored the school's second-ever hat-trick against Northwestern State, and came back three matches later to set a single-game record with four goals against Prairie View A&M. That would also get tied by Montoya against Texas State.
The Cajuns will open up their first game in the conference tournament on Wednesday, November 6 at 1 p.m., when they take on Arkansas State in San Marcos, Texas. Live stats and a live video stream can be found at RaginCajuns.com, free of charge.
