Grant Crowell interviews Suranga Chandratillake, founder and CEO of the video search engine blinkx, on their partnership announcement today with media studio Vuguru to exclusively broadcast the Emmy-nominated video series "Prom Queen," and on the future of professional-grade, internet-only scripted and produced video content with search.
SEW: Suranga, you mentioned in blinkx's press release that the Prom Queen series is a "pioneering format" for online video which "has proven tremendously successful in the new media landscape." What, in your opinion, has made this series most popular with online viewers? The short length? Subject matter? Professional production quality and studio backing? Or a combination of all those things?
It's a really interesting question. I don't really know, but its proven to be immensely popular. A couple things that do work is that its just really good content; it's watchable and creative, because you have professionals at every stage – writing, acting, producing – exclusively for online viewing. And I think the short length works extremely well. It's a type of "snack mentality" that you get, which also matches the structure of the blinkx home page. So I think the physical format plus the show length has been critical for making it so popular.
One smart thing that the show producers, Vuguru, did is they picked a demographic that works online. If you look at all the stats in video, there's obvious a bias towards a younger audience – high school, college – that sort of thing. The content specifically fits that demographic. Its not to say there aren't people who are middle age or older who watch video or whatever else, but rather than try to sell a smaller audience on a certain piece of content, it makes sense to go for the audience that's already there. All of those things have helped in its success.
SEW: Do you believe this will lead to a market for more exclusively Internet-scripted/produced drama? And if so, would blinkx be featuring similar pieces from this studio? Other studios?
Yes, definitely. We think there is a great audience out there for this type of content; and we think that Vuguru has tapped into it, they've done a good job with it, and we expect there to be a lot more. You can look at what's happened at a similar video site, Funny or Die – a lot of its video content there is short-form, scripted, and with a professional background. There are other video sites that do similar things as well.
Until now, a lot of the professional or semi-professional stuff has come from Silicon Valley-style companies. You've seen things like Revision3 and so on, which is great in that it taps into the tech audience very well, but it hasn't really tapped into the mainstream audience. I think the success of Prom Queen is going to lead to a lot more people paying attention to this and doing work on this area.
SEW: Will these episodes also show up concurrently on the promqueen.tv website, or does blinkx have an exclusive "first run"?
Its concurrent (running alongside promqueen.tv), so its more of a super-distribution [through the blinkx network]. The video series will now be findable through all of the usual network sites that we power along with the blinkx video search space.
SEW: What type of advertising will this content be supported by? How will it appear on the web page?
Both blinkx and Vuguru can serve our own advertising on the content. In this case, we'll be doing short pre-roll and post-roll ads. They'll be produced in various points and various campaigns during the showing. We're also going to be showing overlay ads down the road. There's a lot of interest in overlay ads from our advertisers, so we're going to be trying them out over the next couple months.
SEW: What kind of revenue-sharing program have you worked out with Vuguru?
We will be sharing revenue with Vuguru based on the number of views.

Nintendo has confirmed that the various issues encountered by owners of its Wii U, like lag when switching between menus or freezes when updating the firmware, will be fixed in the near future.
The Wii U was released on Sunday, November 18, in North America and, while there were no shortages or things like that, owners of the console have already started expressing their dissatisfaction with the device.
The main issues reported by users were lag when exploring the main menu of the console and downright freezes when trying to install the huge day-one firmware update.
Nintendo has now revealed on its support page that it is "aware that users are experiencing load times when they launch or switch between applications. We are exploring ways to enhance features for consumers' overall experience."
In case users experience freezes and system lock-ups, Nintendo advises them to reset the Wii U by unplugging it from the wall outlet for 10 seconds and to install any system updates.
You can expect a few more statements about the Wii U's issues to be made soon.

Anyone know where I can find some info on how it's done? I've searched here, even using Google, and it mainly comes back with reviews on quilts. I finished a sleeping bag yesterday and attempted a diff cut on it. It came out okay for the most part except on one side.Thanks
hammockforums.net.Been done there many times.
Roger talks about them on his MYOG article.Edit: You have to be a member to view that though...
Edited by goosefeet on 01/14/2011 13:42:01 MST.
I think in that article Roger is mostly talking about a lateral differential, which he assesses is unnecessary with a quilt. He's absolutely right, it's practically useless.However, there is an argument for a linear differential in winter type quilts. i.e. a longer top shell piece than bottom piece, will cause the down to loft outward from the inner shell, which can really help to avoid compression or tight fit with normal quilt sizes. Just my opinion.Anyway, I don't recommend going over 1/2" per baffle. You can get a really puffy quilt by doing a linear differential and slightly shorter baffle height than normal.

A Willard woman who was convicted of driving under the influence (DUI) will be "unsuccessfully terminated" from probation after serving a short jail term.
Brandie Barnett, 22, of 590 Ridge Drive, admitted Monday to violating her Huron County Common Pleas Court probation by being charged and convicted later of DUI. The state Highway Patrol handled the June 7 traffic stop; Barnett later was convicted in Mansfield Municipal Court.
Also, Barnett admitted to another probation violation -- being kicked out of the substance abuse program July 24.
Probation officer Dexter Chandler told Judge Jim Conway the defendant had been doing well on the program since early February 2011. However, the officer also said Barnett's failure to maintain her sobriety, which includes a local DUI on Feb. 17, 2012, violates the goal of the program.
For the local DUI, Barnett was convicted March 27, 2012 in Norwalk Municipal Court. She was fined $750 and given a six-month driver's license suspension. The judge suspended 87 of 90 days in the Huron County Jail, credited her with serving three days behind bars and placed her on two years of probation, according to court records.
Barnett's underlying conviction in common pleas court is trafficking in marijuana.
Huron County Public Defender David Longo, in 2011, said Barnett didn't commit the June 3, 2010 offense on her own and the case "had more to do with her boyfriend than anything else." Longo didn't elaborate.
Barnett, who was pregnant when she was sentenced in 2011, was fined $250 and placed on three years of probation. She had been undergoing counseling for substance abuse in Ashland.
At Monday's hearing, Huron County Assistant Prosecutor Daivia Kasper agreed with Chandler's assessment that Barnett couldn't get any "further benefits" from probation. The prosecutor requested the defendant be "unsuccessfully terminated" from probation after serving a 30-day sentence in jail.
"Thank you for the opportunity for drug court," said Barnett, whose jail term started effective about 22 days ago.
Conway told Barnett she came into the program with a lot of enthusiasm, but added: "You weren't thinking obviously with the DUI."
The judge encouraged Barnett to use the lessons she learned from the program.
"Don't throw them aside," Conway said. "Good luck to you."

Hartford, Vermont- Sally Ann (Sharrock) Moynihan, 80, passed away peacefully after a brief illness on July 30, 2012. Born to Louis Lee Sharrock and Estella Hayes Sharrock in Portsmouth, NH, on March 8, 1932. Sally was a North Country girl, spending her adolescent years in Colton, NY, where her grandparents, Michael Hayes and Harriet Salls, operated the Island House (Colton Hotel). After graduating from high school in 1950, Sally worked for the local telephone company. She married and traveled to the South where she gave birth to her first three children while her husband, Dr. Peter O. Garner, completed his medical degree. The family then returned to New York State. Her husband established a medical practice in Cobleskill, NY, where her fourth child was born. After her divorce, Sally moved to Potsdam, NY, to raise and support her children. It was there that she met Cornelius Connie G. Moynihan, a talented photographer for Niagara Mohawk, whom she married in 1973. They moved to the Syracuse area where Sally raised her youngest and became a dedicated office manager for the late neurosurgeon, Dr. Dominick C. Adornato. For the last 14 years Sally has lived in Hartford, VT near her son Stephen and his family. Sally regarded her four children as her greatest accomplishment, having successfully raised them while a single working mother. Very creative and artistic, her passions were all forms of stitchery and collecting antiques, especially glassware. Sally loved animals, always having pets and taking in strays. She also adored watching birds and other wildlife. Sally lived a good life and will be missed and affectionately remembered by her family and friends.
Sally was predeceased by her husbands, her sister Shirley Phillips, and her niece Pamela Phillips. Her survivors include her children: Geneva Garner (Stan Reynolds), Deborah Garner (Michael Mooney), Stephen Garner (Lis Flannery), and Peter Garner (Monica Brown); her grandchildren: Jane, Kara, Meghan, Hayden, and Alice; her nephew Richard Phillips; her sister-in-law Laurine Dusty Hawley Garner; her niece Gretchen Williams; and many other relations.
A private family service will be held. The family extends a thank you to all the loving caregivers at Cedar Hill Continuing Care Community and at Mt. Ascutney Hospital; and especially to Marge Perry. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Mt. Ascutney Hospital & Health Center, 289 County Rd., Windsor, VT, 05089, attn.: Hospice Project, or to Pleasant Mound Cemetery Association, P.O. Box 182 , Colton, NY, 13625, attn.: Shirley Gardner, Secretary. Condolences may be expressed to the family in an online guestbook at www.knightfuneralhomes.com.

Personally, I would prefer we had a Cloverfield in theaters every Halloween instead of the recent crop of recrudescent genre entries. Sadly that's not the case and it looks like Cloverfield 2 may be further off than we expected.
Fans of jerky, POV monster movies are in for some bad news. The Cloverfield sequel isn't coming out anytime soon, according to director Matt Reeves. But despite the lack of progress, Reeves assures fans that the film is on both his and J.J. Abrams' to do list.
"It really isn't the moment for [the sequel] to go any further than it has, but it continues to be a priority for both of us," Reeves told the channel. "J.J. is very immersed in putting together 'Super 8.' He's in pre-production and really, really passionately getting that together. And I'm passionately finishing 'Let Me In.'"
You know what I'm passionately finishing? Putting up with your B.S., Matt Reeves! Make a Cloverfield sequel now, or so help me god, I will tear you apart on my personal blog like that monster tore apart the Statue of Liberty. The choice is yours. (Empire Online)
It's been roughly a year since J.J. Abrams teased us mercilessly, so I'd say we're about due. It's being reported that Hollywood's sneakiest man is attaching a secret trailer for Super 8 to prints of Iron Man 2 this weekend. You might ask, what is Super 8? You being me, of course. What is Super 8?Hit Fix is saying that it's the rumoured sequel to Cloverfield. Or it could be the other secret J.J. Abrams project 500 Rads. Or it could be some dusty, old super 8 footage that Abrams found at a swapmeet. If anyone could make someone's unwanted home movie a hit, it would be Abrams.At any rate, now we all have a good reason to go see this "Iron Guy" movie that we've heard so little about.

PHOTOS: Amazing pictures of waterspouts and other severe weather events!
Spring Hill, Florida-- A four week investigation of a bank robbery has come to a close because of numerous tips from citizens and countless hours of thorough police work, deputies reported today.
Two suspects have been identified and arrested for the July 27 robbery of a Regions Bank off of Pinehurst Dr. in Spring Hill.
Officials also linked the suspects to an attempted robbery in Pasco County, believed by authorities to be connected to the first crime all along.
Reports say Emanuel Joseph Knapp, 39, and Alexandra Katherine Torgerson, 24, are the two suspects involved in the crimes. They say Knapp robbed the Regions Bank and Torgerson drove the getaway vehicle.
Knapp is currently in the Pasco County Jail on Attempted Robbery charges for a failed attempt at the Hancock Bank. He was reportedly off bonded on a previous arrest for Doctor Shopping, and officials have denied him bond.
Torgerson detailed her and Knapp's involvement to detectives, officials said.
Officials charged her with Principal to Commit Robbery, with a set bon of $10,000.

What does Social Security Disability consider a Mental Impairment?
Social Security considers any mental condition that limits an individual's ability to perform substantial work activity to be a mental impairment. Consequently, mental conditions such as depression, anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, personality disorders and many others are all considered to be mental impairments by the Social Security Administration.
That being said, eligibility for Social Security disability benefits is not about having specific mental impairments, rather Social Security disability evaluation tends to focus more on how an individual's mental impairment limits their functional capacity including the performance of routine daily activities (which may be a reflection of their ability to engage in work activity.
How does Social Security determine an individual's residual functional capacity when it comes to mental impairments? Once your disability claim has been sent to the state disability agency (all Social Security disability determinations are sent to state agencies for processing), the disability examiner who has been assigned to your case acquires all of your available mental health treatment notes. The examiner will often also obtain a daily activity questionnaire from you, and often from a third party as well.
If you have no mental health treatment notes or if your mental health treatment notes are more than three months in the past, you may also be required to attend a consultative exam with a Social Security physician or mental health professional to establish a current mental status. Social Security may use the results of this one-time examination to establish the existence of your mental impairment, or even the severity of your mental impairment.
When filing a Social Security disability claim, it is important to have an established mental health medical history as well as current mental health treatment notes, since consultative examinations are often hurried and do not give a true picture how an individual's mental condition has limited them in their daily lives.
Individual's with a well documented mental health history have a better chance of being approved for Social Security disability based upon a mental impairment, than those who have to rely on a consultative examination.

Justin Finely is a native Queens artist...and one of the event's founders.
'Theres always been so many artists and bands that lived in Astoria. I felt that there is something here and the sentiment was...lets create something that's indigenous to this area.'
The family friendly festival will have four performance stages and more than 50 local bands. The bands will be performing music from many genres... ranging from Brazilian Bossa Nova to Rock and Roll.
Mike Tummolo is the event coordinator and encourages everyone to join in on the family fun.
'How else to spend a beautiful Saturday than in Astoria Park enjoying art, music, culture... Astoria, Long Island City is a very vibrant culturally diverse area. This festival is embodying that. '
The Astoria Music Now festival will also feature circus acts and variety of art and music lessons for kids.
The event is free...and takes place this Saturday at noon in Astoria Park.

Recreational Vehicles
Marine Engines
Marine engines serve a wide variety of applications. The smallest marine engines, virtually all of which use gasoline, are used in recreational outboards and personal watercraft. Small gasoline or diesel marine engines provide auxiliary power on many vessels. Larger marine engines provide propulsion for both recreational and commercial applications. Recreational sterndrive and inboard engines tend to be gasoline, though diesel engines are making inroads into that market.
Commercial engines, virtually all diesel, power vessels such as tugs, ferries, and crew/supply boats. These engines also provide auxiliary power on larger vessels. The largest marine diesel engines, sometimes exceeding 60,000 hp, propel ocean-going vessels. EPA intends to have emission control requirements for all marine engines. Engines are grouped under three control programs reflecting their application and, to some extent, the fuel they use.
Gasoline Outboards and Personal Watercraft marine Engines
Gasoline outboards and personal watercraft contribute about 5 percent of the national mobile source VOC inventory. However, in areas with large boat populations, the contribution of these recreational marine engines may exceed 10 percent of the regional HC inventory. These engines typically employ 2-stroke technology, which changed very little over the last 50 years. Regulations to control exhaust emissions from new outboards and personal watercraft went into effect in July 1996. The emission controls for these engines involve increasingly stringent standards over the course of a nine-year phase-in period beginning in model year 1998. By the end of the phase-in, each manufacturer must meet an emission standard, on a corporate-average basis, that represents a 75 percent reduction in HC compared to unregulated levels. The gradually decreasing emission standard allows manufacturers to determine the best approach to achieving the targeted reductions over time, manufacturers are able to phase in the types of control technologies in the most sensible way, while minimizing the cost impact to the consumer.
Commercial Diesel Marine Engines
Commercial diesel marine engines contribute about 8 percent of the national mobile source NOx inventory, and about 1 percent of the national mobile source PM inventory. In areas with large commercial ports or near busy shipping lanes, the contribution of diesel marine engines to the local NOx and PM inventory may be much higher.
EPA proposed regulations for the control of exhaust emissions from new marine diesel engines in November 1998. The proposed emissions limits, which vary depending on the size of the engine, are similar to emission limits for corresponding land-based nonroad or locomotive engines. These limits would apply beginning with engines manufactured in 2004. In addition, a more stringent set of emission limits based on the nonroad Tier 3 approach will be evaluated in 2003. At that time, EPA will confirm the Tier 3 limits or adjust them to reflect the technologies manufacturers can apply at that time. The more stringent Tier 3 emission limits would apply beginning with engines manufactured in 2008.
The proposed emission limits for very large commercial marine diesel engines are the same as those contained in Annex VI of the International Convention on the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL). Consistent with MARPOL Annex VI, these proposed limits will apply to engines installed on ships constructed on or after January 1, 2000.
Recreational Sterndrive and Inboard Engines
Recreational sterndrive and inboard engines can be either gasoline or diesel engines. While their contribution to national mobile VOC and NOx levels is smaller that the other two marine engine categories, their emissions are expected to increase due to the growing number of recreational vessels. EPA did not finalize emission limits for gasoline sterndrive and inboard engines as part of the 1996 marine rule. Likewise, EPA did not propose limits for recreational diesel engines in the commercial diesel engine rule. Consequently, these recreational engines remain unregulated at this time. EPA has started in a separate rulemaking to consider emission limits for these engines however.

Meet Henry (Keaun Revees), a mild-mannered man who was sent to jail for a bank robbery he didn't commit. Unlike most skinny white dudes who end up in jail, Henry wasn't forced to become a prison bitch. On the contrary, he actually made friends with a hardened criminal (James Caan). Now that he's leaving jail, Henry figures that since he's already done the time, he might as well commit the crime, and enlists the help of his convict friend to rob the same bank he was wrongfully convicted of robbing.
That might sound like a half-way descent premise, but don't let it fool you. The subplot involves a love interest (Vera Farmiga) and a local theater troupe lead by an old-Russian guy. If I wanted to listen to some old commie spout platitudes, I'd rent a Susan Sarandon movie.
Consider posting a comment.
I hope I did not let it fool me…. I like it very much …. will buy a ticket …
the old-Russian guy is actually a Czech director. played by Peter Stormare. And 'it' didn't fool me, it won me over.
will buy the ticket AND the DVD. just because
i love him.

The Nuggets seek a ninth straight win at the Pepsi Center on Thursday night when they face the Timberwolves, who have dropped four in a row on the road. While it's just 8-14 away from home, Denver has been superb on its own floor, going an NBA-best 10-1. The latest victory at the Pepsi Center was arguably its most noteworthy this season. The Nuggets ended the Los Angeles Clippers' 17-game win streak Tuesday with a stifling 92-78 victory. Denver held the Clippers to 38.5 percent shooting and had six players in double figures even though Ty Lawson was out with tightness in his left Achilles' tendon. "Everybody got a look at what we could do, how good this team is and how scary we are," forward Kenneth Faried told the team'...

Virginia M. Saccomanno
GRAND JUNCTION, COLO. - Virginia M. Saccomanno was born to Anthony and Nicolena Corsetti in Dawson, N.M. on June 11, 1918, the second oldest of five children.
The family moved to Carbonville where she suffered the loss of her mother at age 11 followed by the deaths of her step-mother, baby brother and father by the age of 17. With the love and support of the Sisters of Charity at Notre Dame School in Price she survived all this and graduated with her class from high school.
Virginia "Ginny" met and married Geno Saccomanno, a college student from Spring Glen, a neighboring community, in 1938. She worked to support him throughout his college years at the University of Utah and St. Louis University. Their first daughter, Carol Ann, was born while in St. Louis, Mo.
Dr. Geno Saccomanno became the first Pathologist at St. Mary's Hospital in Grand Junction, Colo., in 1948. Virginia and Geno celebrated the birth of twin girls, Linda Marie and Lenna Marie, in 1949.
Ginny was an avid golfer with trophies attesting to her skill. She achieved a Life Master designation in duplicate bridge, an accomplishment of which she was most proud. She was actively involved in her church as a member of the choir, Altar and Rosary Society and Catholic Daughters.
Over the years, Geno and Ginny campaigned for the formation and growth of the Grand Junction Symphony and supported the growth and development of Mesa State College. Ginny supported Geno in his love for St. Mary's Hospital and was both a charter member of St. Mary's Hospital Medical Auxillary and a member of Friends of St. Mary's. She involved herself in the community in both large and small endeavors. One of the small groups to which she actively belonged right to the end was the Friday Book Club. "Actively" did not necessarily mean reading the book in preparation, but rather, cherishing the kindness and friendship of the members.
Ginny and Geno loved the Grand Junction community and were noted for their philanthropy. One example of their love and generosity toward the citizens of Mesa County, Colo., and Carbon County is the Saccomanno Higher Education Foundation, which they started in 1992 to assist students in financial need to fulfill their desire for a college education. To date, the Foundation has granted 5080 scholarships totaling over $8,800,000.
Ginny had a great love of her faith and a special devotion to the Blessed Mother, Mary. For years she assumed responsibility for refilling the votive candle stands at the Marian shrine in Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church. She would "visit" with Mary while going about her work and finish by grasping the statue's outstretched hand and saying "thanks for listening". She never forgot the kindness shown her as a child by the Sisters and she and Geno returned the favor by donating the land on which Holy Family Catholic School and Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church now stand. The generosity of Ginny and Geno toward the Diocese of Pueblo over their lifetime was recognized by the late Pope John Paul II.
Ginny was preceded in death by her parents, her siblings, Caroline Mabrito, Anna Rose Pasetto, Sammy Corsetti and infant Richard Corsetti and her husband, Geno.
She is survived by her daughters, Carol (Bob) Murphy, Lenna (Steve) Watson, Linda (Steve) Siedow; grandchildren, Gena (John) Cooper, Thomas (Jennifer) Murphy, Nicole (Jamis) Darrow, Stephen and Michael Siedow, and great-grandchildren, Gavin and Parker Murphy and Emma and Sara Darrow.
A funeral service will be celebrated at Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church on Friday, May 27, 2011 at 2 p.m. Father Jim Plough and Father John Farley will concelebrate the Mass.
In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests that memorial contributions be sent to Holy Family Catholic School, 786 26 1/2 Road, Grand Junction, CO, 81506.

Borrowing a page out of Google's playbook, Yahoo has announced that it is focusing even more on mobile, by killing off a bunch of mobile apps. It's quite a long and somewhat surprising list, since it contains apps linked to some of Yahoo's most popular properties.
"We're moving forward with a 'mobile first' mindset. You can expect to see more new Yahoo! mobile products in 2012, especially in areas ripe for innovation that build on Yahoo!'s strengths," Yahoo explained.
Here's the full list of apps getting the axe: iPad or iPhone - Yahoo Meme, Yahoo Mim, Yahoo Deals, Yahoo Shopping, Yahoo Sketch-a-Search, Yahoo AppSpot; Android - Yahoo Answers, Yahoo AppSpot, Yahoo Movies, Yahoo News; BlackBerry - Yahoo Finance.
The idea seems to be to focus on the things that work, be them trusted old apps such as Mail or Messenger, and on new things that no one else is doing.

PAWTUCKET — Perhaps 30 minutes before the festivities of Tolman High School's Commencement, Dr. Linda Gifford, a guidance counselor, stood inside the James W. Donaldson Gymnasium offering congratulations to members of the Class of 2011, boys clad in red caps and gowns, the girls in white.
Suddenly, Mckenzie Hosford tapped on her shoulder, and Gifford spun around. When the elder saw Hosford, she immediately gave her a massive hug.
"It's been quite a journey," Hosford told her.
"With a happy ending," Gifford smiled back.
When asked what made this particular class so special, Gifford – herself a 1990 THS graduate – noted, "I think it's their different personalities, and how they all mesh together. They all work in such collaboration with each other.
"I actually had Mckenzie in first grade," she added. "There were five (seniors) who I had in first grade at Potter-Burns (Elementary), but I know a number of others as they went to school there, too. I saw where and how they started off, and where their perseverance
has taken them. This is the first Tolman class that I started off and ended with, and it's gone by so fast.
"I got so close to so many of these kids. They'd always knock on my door to ask for advice or just to talk. This group brings back memories that I had as a student here, and I love it. I think very highly of Tolman and the education it provides. It bothers me when people have negative comments about it."
Wednesday night's ceremony delivered bits of frivolity and fun mixed with philosophy and reflection.
In his "Congratulatory Remarks," Principal Fred Silva explained economists have indicated that, by earning their diplomas, these seniors have increased their earning potential by $1 million over their lifetimes.
"Mark Twain, towards the end of his life, was asked by a young reporter if Twain thought his success had been based on luck," he noted. "Twain knew the reporter thought that he had received much more than he was due in life, and answered 'Yes.' But then he went on to define luck, doing so as "Preparation meeting opportunity.
"We have little control over opportunity, but we have complete control over preparation," he continued. "Our DECA (distributive education) students could not anticipate winning the state competition and competing on the national level when they began their projects this year, but they prepared themselves, and went on to dominate the state competition and represent us well on the national level."
He also said the same of the Tigers' Chorus earning an "excellent rating" at the R.I. Choral Festival, an event in which it never before had attended; and the varsity boys' volleyball team. Just last Friday, Tolman defeated Barrington, the same school it had lost to in an tourney-opening round, to snag the state crown.
"When you entered Tolman, you could not anticipate where you would go after (Wednesday) evening, yet you prepared. Your preparation has led you to opportunities. Some of you have chosen to join the armed forces. Some … have decided to join the workforce. Others have chosen to continue your education at a two- or four-year college, and you apparently have done well."
He then told all, over the past five years, no high school in Rhode Island had been more successful placing students in highly-selective universities and programs than THS.
Silva also mentioned preparation doesn't always lead to opportunity.
"Allison Buja, a member of the Class of 2011, completed her journey on this Earth in 2009, (and) Allison is in my thoughts this evening," he said. "I know she is with us in spirit, and ask you to keep her in your thoughts."
He revealed that his grandmother, who was born in 1880 and lived to be 94, couldn't have anticipated seeing two world wars, the Great Depression, nuclear power or men walking on the moon.
"I believe Twain and my grandmother had the answer: Preparation," he said. "In our world, another word for preparation is education. We are in a world where our education must be ongoing and continuous. The skills that we have emphasized during your time with us are skills that will allow you to be lifelong learners.
"My wish for you is that you remain curious, that you will continue to learn and adapt to your world," he added. "Opportunity will find you."
Silva told them they couldn't have achieved such greatness without their own efforts, but also the love and support they received from their parents, families, teachers, administrators and fellow students. He asked the graduates to thank each and every one of them.
"(Now) you will pass into the ranks of our alumni," he said. "But you will always be Tigers, and your imprint will always be on Tolman."
School Committee Chair Raymond Spooner Jr. told the 243 grads he had attended the Shea High Commencement just 48 hours before, and Mayor Donald Grebien had asked the Raider seniors to stand and scream, "We are Shea!"
He then mentioned, "Nobody comes into this house and outdoes us!" He told the seniors to stand and yell, "We are Tolman!" and they acquiesced, but not to Spooner's liking. Spooner, who received his diploma from Tolman back in 1979, requested another, more spirited bark, and the rafters shook.
"Don't ever be a stranger if you're in the neighborhood," he stated. "You'll always be a part of the Tolman High family."
After greetings and congratulations by Grebien and Schools Superintendent Deborah Cylke, Kelly Vieira delivered her salutatorian speech, one in which she claimed she didn't like negative comments about her soon-to-be alma mater.
"In truth, we're a mixture of different people who all bring different things to the table," she said. "Tolman is actually a good representative of the world: Different people together in one place, trying to make it all work out.
"All those times we came together and proved all those negative (comments) wrong, those times define Tolman," she continued. "Maybe we can go out into the world and show people that getting along with others isn't so hard. If we realize it was possible to do here, it can be possible anywhere in the future. If we leave here with that hope in our hearts, it can spread to every person we ever meet."
Following the Tolman Senior Ensemble's singing "The Great Escape," valedictorian Alyssa Browning offered these wise words.
"What has determined out experience is the group of people that has surrounded us during our years at Tolman," she stated. "Sitting on stage during (graduation) rehearsal, I looked at the face of every person who will shortly walk the stage with me. I realized more than ever what great people are in this school, and I noticed a commonality on every single face – pride.
"This is something we must strive to never lose," she added. "We must leave this building and enter the world … and recognize that we are just as prepared as anyone else. Our Pawtucket roots and our Tolman Tiger education are not topics to jest about … They undermine it's true value. In Pawtucket and at Tolman, we have lived lives of acceptance and diversity. We have befriended those like us and different from us.
"Much like we take pride in ourselves, we must take pride in our pasts, and advocate for our city and school. When we do great things in this world … we represent where we come from and the people who raised us. Our pride shows the next years of Tigers to be even more proud and confident."
Juan Villa read the 2011 Class Poem, one titled, "Our Victory." In it, he paid tribute to fallen Tiger Pfc. Kyle J. Coutu, who died while serving the U.S. Marines in Afghanistan about 16 months ago.
Toward the end, Villa stated, "So bring on the silver, bring on the gold, for we are all victorious, and we deserve it all! We are the greatest class, our names engraved in 'Graduation Heaven,' so – please – a huge round of applause to the Class of 2011!"
Seconds later, the graduates stepped forward to receive their diplomas from Cylke, Assistant Principals Barbara Savella and Dennis Smith and Senior Class Advisor Noreen McVay.
Upon the last recipient's name being called, the class recessed to Corey Smith's "I'm Not Gonna Cry."
Naturally, on this momentous occasion, some students couldn't help but submit to their emotions.

Thank you all for a wonderful try out! For those of you who didn't "make the team", this is not goodbye. You are still apart of our volleyball world and we would love to keep in touch and keep playing with you. We are always looking for practice players, and sometimes we need people to replace an injured girl and people who can't make it to tournaments. See you Monday!!

Consent is a basic component of the ethics of human relations, making permissible a wide range of conduct that would otherwise be wrongful. Consent marks the difference between slavery and employment, permissible sexual relations and rape, borrowing or selling and theft, medical treatment and battery, participation in research and being a human guinea pig. This book assembles the contributions of a distinguished group of scholars concerning the ethics of consent in theory and practice. Part One addresses theoretical perspectives on the nature and moral force of consent, and its relationship to key ethical concepts, such as autonomy and paternalism. Part
Two examines consent in a broad range of contexts, including sexual relations, contracts, selling organs, political legitimacy, medicine, and research.

Capturing Applications on Windows XP to run on Windows 7
Is it possible to capture an application that runs on Windows XP that won't run on Windows 7 and than run that sreamed application on a Windows 7 machine?
Anu feedback would be greatly appreciated.

For most 32 bit applications this works very well.
Just look through the forums for people who use SWV to run IE6 on Windows 7.
Give it a try and see how it works.

If your issue has been solved, Please mark it as solved
As a general rule, regardless of technology/product, if the application does not work when locally installed, virtualization is not likely to help you. Virutalization allows for application-to-application compatibilty by isolating applications (e.g. be able to run a product with two different versions side-by-side). There may be tricks to certain applications that you can employ such as shims and various isolation options but virtualization is not targeted as an application-to-OS compatibility solution

How long, curving mountain chains formed millions of years ago
An international team of scientists that included USC's Meghan Miller used computer modeling to reveal, for the first time, how giant swirls form during the collision of tectonic plates.
The team's 3D models suggest a likely answer to a question that has long plagued geologists: why do long, curving mountain chains form along some subduction zones - where two tectonic plates collide, pushing one down into the mantle?
Based on the models, the researchers found that parts of the slab that is being subducted sweep around behind the collision, pushing continental material into the mountain belt.
With predictions confirmed by field observations, the 3D models show a characteristic pattern of intense localized heating, volcanic activity and fresh sediments that remained enigmatic until now.
"The new model explains why we see curved mountains near colliding plates, where material that has been scraped off of one plate and accreted on another is dragged into a curved path on the continent," Miller said.
Their research specifically looked at the ancient geologic record of Eastern Australia, but is also applicable to the Pacific Northwest of the United States, the Mediterranean, and southeast Asia. Coastal mountain ranges from Northern California up to Alaska were formed by the scraping off of fragment of the ancient Farallon plate as it subducted beneath the North American continent.
The geology of the Western Cordillera (wide mountain belts that extend along all of North America) fits the predictions of the computer model.
The research is published online in the journal Nature.

STUDIO CITY (CBS) — Strong winds have been howling in our mountains and up in the high desert. High wind warnings are now in effect for the northern portions of Los Angeles and Ventura counties.
By contrast, a weak coastal eddy has brought cloud cover to Orange County and the Los Angeles Basin. We can even see a little bit of that marine layer creeping into the San Gabriel Valley.
Everyone else is looking at clear skies this morning. A trough will dive into the southwest by Friday and Saturday, which is going to cool us down a bunch.
The winds will continue as a byproduct of that trough through the end of the week.
The start of the holiday weekend will probably be cool and cloudy, but by Sunday and Monday, temperatures rebound.
Memorial Day right now looks pretty good with highs near normal (mid 70s downtown and mid 80s for the valleys).
Beaches – low 70s
Basin – mid to upper 70s
Valleys – upper 80s to low 90s

Fruit and vegetables are very beneficial for our organism. There is no use talking about this fact, a lot of thick clever books are written about it. We want to remind you that the only source of beta-carotene and vitamin C is fruit, vegetables and such a famous plant as aloe vera.
On the one hand, the fiber contained in vegetables and fruit does not only fill the stomach, giving a feeling of repletion, but also helps the digestive system. On the other hand, a great number of useful elements contained in aloe vera help to avoid negative effects that all diets have.
After you spend a few days eating only fruit and vegetables and drinking aloe vera juice, you will realize that you not only get rid of extra pounds, but fatigue, and a bad mood. There is a great variety of fruit and vegetable rations, so choose any one, lose weight and be healthy!
Seven-day vegetable and fruit diet with aloe vera juice
It is not very difficult to follow this ration. You should know that it is very important to combine fruit and vegetable with drinking aloe vera juice. This beverage will provide the body with other trace substances for its normal functioning. In order for the body does not feel the deficit of useful substances, we recommend you this liquid. During the week of this diet you can lose three-four pounds of excess weight.
This diet requires the alternation of berries, fruit and vegetable during the week. The first two days are vegetable, then alternate berry, fruit, vegetable every other day. And during the day you can eat up to one and a half kilograms of products. Although not all vegetables and fruits are allowed in this diet. Green peas, potatoes, carrots, bananas, mango, kiwi fruit and grapes are not allowed.
Vegetables can be eaten raw or scalded with boiling water, or stewed without using oil. If you want to something warm, you can make steamed vegetables to save not only the taste, but also all the useful substances and vitamins contained in them.
Balanced fruit and vegetable diet with aloe vera
The first day
Cabbage soup, fruit, a glass of aloe vera juice, tea or coffee. It is advisable not to drink or eat something sweet, but if you really want, you can afford four-five dried fruits – apricots or prunes.
The second day
Cabbage soup, one potato of medium size, baked in the oven. Any vegetables fresh or stewed. Tea, coffee? Aloe vera juice.
The third day
Cabbage soup, vegetables and fruits in any quantities, a glass of skim milk (or low-calorie yogurt), green tea, aloe vera juice.
The fourth day
Cabbage soup, bananas (three-six units), eight glasses of skim milk (can be one low-fat yogurt and seven glasses of milk).
The fifth day
Cabbage soup, tomatoes (not more than six). Fish or chicken meat in any quantity. A glass of skim milk, tea, coffee, aloe vera juice.
The sixth day
Fully repeats the menu of the fifth day.
The seventh day
Cabbage soup, vegetables and fruits in unlimited quantities, low-calorie sauce, two hundred grams of fat-free milk (yoghurt), tea, coffee or aloe vera juice.
As we can see, the fruit and vegetable ration for weight loss is not only pleasant, but quite well-balanced. You will not have to be hungry all the time, and, moreover, you eat correctly. In addition, it doesn't require the exact number of fruit, tea and meat grams, because each person is different, some people need a little more, and someone – less. You will feel, how many of those or other ingredients you should eat every day while following this diet.

Picked the chanterelles this afternoon around Mt. Hood. We used pizza dough from our local pizzeria, Hot Lips in Portland, used thyme & lemon juice when sauting the chanterelles. We added Italian sausage and yellow/red bell peppers. Couldn't have done without the thyme, I thought that added the best flavor! Delicious.flag if inappropriate
Have been searching out recipes for chanterelle pizza and I'm puzzled at the "store-bought" dough in most of the ingredients lists. If you have a Kitchenaid mixer you're five minutes away from having four pounds of dough that will keep in the refrigerator for two weeks. Dissolve 1.5 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon yeast in 1.5 cup warm water in Kitchenaid mixing bowl. Add four cups flour (I like good hard red winter wheat flours, like Gold Medal Artisan or Arrowhead Mills). Mix on lowest mixer setting with dough hook until dough ball forms, then continue to kneed two more minutes. Cover and allow to rise several hours. Store in large Ziplock bag in refrigerator.flag if inappropriate
Amazing. Followed recipe to a T. Also made it once with red cabbage when the radicchio looked a little suspect, and that also turned out fantastically. So good!!!!flag if inappropriate
An exceptional combination of flavors in a non- traditional pizza! Don't shortcut on any of the ingredients because you will miss out on some fantastic flavors. We use Naan brand flatbread for our pizza crust to speed things up and it is always easy and terrific if you like a crispy thin crust pizza. This was a real hit for our Friday night pizza crowd and I am sure it will become a regular request!flag if inappropriate

Hudson River Almanac August 17 - August 23, 2008
Hints of autumn commonly show up in late August: leaf color in Adirondack and Catskill hardwoods, migrating flocks of birds and butterflies, and cool dawns and diminishing daylight.
8/19 - Verplanck to Troy, HRM 40-152: We have always wanted to take a boat ride up to the head of tidewater at Troy, and finally got the chance over the last two days. We were greeted by a belted kingfisher as we prepared to leave the marina in Verplanck. As we approached West Point, we saw a large flock of cormorants on the wing headed south. We finally got to see, first hand, all the wonderful places that are mentioned in the Hudson River Almanac: Norrie Point, Esopus Meadows, Tivoli Bays, Rondout Creek, Catskill Creek, and more. There was so much aquatic vegetation from the Rondout to the Catskill Creek that we had to slow to a crawl. We reached Troy in about five hours on a beautiful day and had seen so many great blue herons, osprey, and two juvenile bald eagles along the way. It was another lovely, cloudless blue-sky day for our return trip home. We spotted more osprey at Castleton-on-Hudson and there was a beautiful adult bald eagle perched in a tree at Matthew's Point. Our final sighting was of twenty turkey vultures over Storm King Mountain. It was a wonderful experience.
- Dianne Picciano, Phil Picciano
8/17 - Upper Nyack, HRM 29: Out for an early morning sail, Marta Renzi and I saw osprey circling and feeding just off Upper Nyack. For some reason, early fall is when they seem to be around this area. Could it be the bluefish pushing schools of bait fish closer to the green surface? One came by with a silver dinner in its claws. Then briefly, silently, an adult bald eagle did a turn out of and back into the suburban trees: a secret.
- Dan Wolff
[From mid-August through mid-October, the number of osprey along the estuary increases dramatically. Most of this is fall migration, birds that have nested from Lake Ontario to the St. Lawrence to Lake Champlain and are heading south. In most years, as they pass Haverstraw Bay and the Tappan Zee, they come upon huge aggregations of menhaden, silvery herring that school near the surface and are just the right size to be plucked from the river. Tom Lake.]
8/18 - Putnam Valley, HRM 55.5: I spotted a coyote this evening in an open field about sixty feet from the brushy margin. It probably was on its way to munch on fallen fruit from a very abundant crop of pears and peaches. When it noticed me, it trotted back into brush. After about five minutes, it ventured out a few feet, but again retreated when it saw me.
- N.P. Durr
8/19 - Germantown, HRM 108: We had some lovely bald eagle watching today during a back-porch luncheon to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Germantown Garden Club. The property of the hostess drops down to the river, an idyllic location. A juvenile and an adult eagle made several passes over the lawn. I spotted the juvenile in the sky, pointed it out, expected that to be the end of the show. A bit later, large shadows cast over the lawn alerted us to a pretty good, if brief, show of both. These are likely the locals reported from Cheviot.
- Mimi Brauch
8/19 - Tivoli South Bay, HRM 98.5: In mid-afternoon I watched four species of birds foraging on or among the dense water chestnut in Tivoli South Bay: 2 great egrets near the railroad, and near the mouth of the Saw Kill 3 green herons, 5 spotted sandpipers, and several cedar waxwings. The waxwings were gleaning from the water-chestnut leaves, probably eating water-lily leaf beetles. The sandpipers were foraging across the top of the water-chestnut mat. The green herons were standing on top of the water-chestnut, and the great egrets were standing among the water-chestnut rosettes.
- Erik Kiviat
8/19 - Town of Fishkill, HRM 63.5: A friend told me he saw a "cat" run across Red School House Road near the intersection of route 9D at about midday. It was dark brown with faint spots, about the size of a small German shepherd, was thin (indicating it was either young or underfed), had a bushy crop of hair on its head, and had a tail about two feet in length that drooped low behind. He said it had the appearance of a mountain lion.
- downstate4
[The cougar, puma, panther, catamount, or mountain lion (Felis concolor) was native to New York State but has been extirpated. In the last two decades, there have been hundreds of "mountain lion" sightings in New York State. These have been a combination of blurry photos and first-hand observations, but no empirical evidence. There has been no documented proof of wild mountain lions in New York State for over 100 years. A breeding population requires a certain critical mass (see the arguments for the Loch Ness Monster, Sasquatch, Yeti). Every other form of ephemeral New York State wildlife, from black bears to bobcats to moose, sooner or later fall victim to either a hunter or an automobile. Why no mountain lions? There have been examples of escapes from captivity, but, as far as we know, no home-grown pumas. I have come across large bobcat paw prints in mud and snow that would pass for a small puma. It is not impossible that one or more might show up in New York State, wandering in from Canada or northern New England as the moose has done, but - like extra-terrestrial alien encounters - it would be nice to have irrefutable evidence. Tom Lake.]
8/19 - Furnace Woods, HRM 38.5: A huge and lovely luna moth lay dead this morning, the first I had ever seen in Westchester. Properly spread and mounted, the moth excites the wonder of all who see it, none of whom had seen lunas previously.
- Christopher Letts
8/20 - Warren County, HRM 240: After seeing very few monarch butterflies all summer, I sat on a boulder and watched, and counted, as twenty-five passed me in an hour, all heading south. The river was typically August-low and the midday sound of locusts comfortably reminded me that summer was not lost.
- Tom Lake
8/21 - Green Island, HRM 151.5: We came to sample the inshore shallows to see who was home today, but we lingered a bit too long. By the time we dragged our net onto the tide flats, we were ankle deep in soft bottom. After slogging through the mud, we managed to run our kick-net seine through a few pools and found tessellated darter and banded killifish, many of which were brilliant lavender-banded males. The river was 73 degrees F. A flock of two dozen Canada geese landed in the lee behind Green Island. In the middle was a single snow goose. While this is not entirely uncommon - snow geese are occasionally seen in the company of Canadas - this one was right in the middle of the group, not hanging out on the fringe as is usually the case. One of the Canadas carried a neck band number RT05.
- Tom Lake, M. Mantzouris
8/21 - Troy, HRM 152: We were walking the shoreline amidst the disturbances of modern erosion control (rip-rap) looking for evidence of earlier cultures. Documented historic sites, even prehistoric sites, ran to the river here but are now likely buried under many feet of concrete and granite blocks, re-bar, and landfill. We found a huge, dead "silver eel" wedged among the rocks. It was well in excess of 24" long and had a circumference of at least eight inches. The carcass had been pretty well scavenged so we left it.
- Tom Lake, M. Mantzouris
[Silver eel is a colloquial name given to female American eels, 20-30 years old, that have undergone physical changes preparatory to spawning. They have gone from the green and yellow coloration of their yellow eel phase, to dark black and stark white. Their eyes become enlarged and their alimentary canals atrophy. These changes are adaptations to traveling in the deep, dark waters of the North Atlantic, developing eggs, and finally spawning. Where and how this is done is still a mystery. Tom Lake.]
8/21 - Saugerties, HRM 102: I noticed what looked like a large partially-built nest in the number 93 channel marker at the end of the tidewater jetty just south of the Saugerties lighthouse. I hadn't noticed it before but it could have been there for some time. Maybe an osprey nest?
- Dan Marazita
[As far as we can tell, there are presently no successful osprey nests along the estuary. However, in recent years we have seen several attempts from the Tappan Zee to Albany County. As with our wealth of bald eagle nests - fourteen years ago we had none, now we have at least 22 - it may take some time for them to become established. There is little reason why, eventually, we will not have active osprey nests along the tidewater Hudson. Tom Lake.]
8/22 - Newcomb, HRM 302: The trees were really coloring up now along the roadsides. As I was driving to Newcomb, I passed a large turtle crossing the road. Although the turtle was moving with steady speed, I stopped, backed up and decided to give it a hand across. There were no other cars around. It was wood turtle with a nearly foot-long carapace. As I was getting it set up on the bank, a slew of cars came along and, there I was, stopped right in the middle of the road (I had put on my four-way flashers). I managed to get in and drive on before they had to pass. My good deed for the day!
- Ellen Rathbone
8/23 - Essex County, HRM 290: One of the draws of the north woods of the Adirondacks has to be the cool and dewy dawns of late August. I took a first light hike into the forest and the smell of balsam fir was all the reward I needed. Woodpeckers were at it from every quarter, flickers and pileateds, hairys and downys, a near-constant staccato that sounded like a drum recital.
- Tom Lake
8/23 - Norrie Point, HRM 85: Fishing was slow during our monthly public program at the Norrie Point Environmental Center. Both angling and sampling were hampered by rafts of filamentous algae in all of the shallow water coves. Esopus Meadows is showing the same huge amounts of algae, showing up earlier and denser than I've seen in recent years. The Norrie program was helped, however, by an exciting assortment of creatures that came up in researcher Helen Bustamante's crab traps. In addition to a female blue crab, there was a hefty American eel (two-feet long and very thick in circumference) and a small common musk, or "stinkpot" turtle. For this air-breathing reptile, it was lucky Helen checked her traps when she did!
