Array.splice() and Array.slice() are 2 powerful functions that you can use to manipulate the content of your List component. If used effectively, you can achieve a List filtering effect without using any other complex filtering techniques.
First off, what happens when you do this:
var myArray1:Array = new Array(); var myArray2:Array = new Array(); //Push an object to Array1 myArray1.push(new String("ALL")); //Assign Array1 content to Array2 myArray2 = myArray1; //Push another object to Array1 myArray1.push(new String("Only for Array1"));
Whatever objects you add to myArray1, automatically gets into myArray2 because of the Array assignment. In your application if you want the 2 arrays two share the content initially but not bound together at a later stage, you need to 'slice' the Array:
//Do not do this myArray2 = myArray1; //Do this to create a copy of myArray1 myArray2 = myArray1.slice(0);
Splicing, is another technique that will allow you to modify the content of the array without creating a copy of it.
//Remove the first element of myArray1 and assign the content to myArray2. //When you modify myArray1, myArray2 will also change. myArray2 = myArray1.splice(0,1);
You can follow these Array manipulation techniques in your application to create List components with filters, which will bind different arrays to the list at run time.
Here's an application I built for the Android market, a simple action items tracking system using associative arrays and filters:

Artist's description:
Another take on this classic architectural type from olden days in Singapore and Malaysia.
Mini painting 5x7 inches, 12.5 x 17.5 cm.
It is a folded page (paper is 10x7 inch) thus forms a card. I include an envelope with the painting. So it can be framed art, or a lovely original painting greeting card for an easy, versatile gift.
Here I used an acid free watercolor paper, 300gm weight.
As I present my selection of these minis I do not follow one theme. Rather, I enjoy hopping from one subject to the next and back again. And I present them here in my gallery following this random fashion.
Interested to have your idea painted in this style? Contact me.
Please note that you can purchase in one order up to 10 miniature paintings of same size or smaller to be included in the same 1 shipping fee.
Please allow working 3 days for processing the order.

The previous time Andy Dalton played in his hometown, he left without his jersey.
The Bengals quarterback finally ended his streak of horrid games against the Texans last November, leading Cincinnati to a 22-13 win in Houston. Afterward, he spent some time with family and gave his father a game-worn gift.
The Bengals (8-0) have something very special going on as they get ready for a rematch on Monday night at Paul Brown Stadium. Dalton has led Cincinnati to the best start in franchise history and a commanding lead in the AFC North.
The fifth-year quarterback has been among the league's top passers all season — he ranked second this week — and has eliminated all the questions about whether he'll ever develop into one of the game's elites.
During his first two seasons, his worst moments came in his hometown.
The Texans (3-5) beat the Bengals in first-round games in Houston during the 2011 and 2012 seasons. J.J. Watt returned an interception 29 yards for a touchdown in the first one, and Dalton overthrew an open A.J. Green in the end zone in the closing minutes of the second playoff loss.
Given how far Dalton and the Bengals have come, it's almost as if the Texans are facing a different team this time around.
"I mean, his team is 8-0 and it's a quarterback-driven league, so he's obviously playing very good football," Watt said. "When you're 8-0, everybody on your team is playing pretty good football."

The identity of the Melksham woman found dead in her home on Sunday has been confirmed by police as Suzanne Bavette Newton, 45.
As police released a picture of Mrs Newton, husband Richard, is currently being questioned by Wiltshire Police at Melksham.
The 51-year-old was arrested on suspicion of murder on Monday in Dulverton, Devon after the body of his wife was found at their home at 51 Barnes Wallis Close, Bowerhill.
He was taken to Musgrove Park Hospital from Taunton police station, but was discharged yesterday and taken to Melksham police station at 5.30pm last night.
Mrs Newton's body was discovered on Sunday morning and the search for the 51-year-old spread south following the discovery of his car, a blue Volkswagen Polo, at Brendon Common, Exmoor.
A forensic team finished their work at the Melksham home yesterday and a tent, erected after the discovery of the woman's body on Sunday morning, was taken away as police officers undertook a search of the grounds.
Mr and Mrs Newton are believed to have lived at the Bowerhill address for three years and one neighbour said last night: "It's very sad. She kept to herself, but we always used to see her walking her dog."
Work colleagues of Mrs Newton have paid their respects by leaving floral tributes outside her home.
Mrs Newton was employed by Darren Guinness Associates, and fellow workers at the Calne-based recruitment agency have left flowers at the end of the driveway of her home.
One floral tribute read: "18 flowers from 18 people thinking of you. Such a sad loss, lots of love from everyone at DGA (Darren Guinness Associates)."
A statement from the company read: "This is a very hard time for us, she was a valued member of staff and we are all trying to come to terms with this tragic loss."

A FOOTBALL-mad youngster was treated to a 'dream day' with his heroes in recognition of a special anniversary.
Seven-year-old Logan Prince met stars from Blackburn Rovers three years after being taken to hospital, where he was diagnosed with type one diabetes shortly after his fourth birthday.
He spent a week in hospital, and the first two days in a high dependency unit.
The junior season ticket holder, from Accrington, now has to test his blood at least eight times a day and has to have at least five daily insulin injections.
But Logan refuses to let the condition dictate his life and, to celebrate, his parents branded the date of his diagnosis, April 24, Logan's D Day. The football fanatic, who has scored more than 100 goals for Huncoat United's Under Sevens and was recently named their player of the year, often attends Blackburn Rovers' Soccer Camp.
And, after contacting the club, he was invited to spend the day at Rovers' Senior Training Centre, where he watched the first team train, was given a behind-the-scenes tour and had lunch in the players' canteen.
To top off a memorable visit, Logan met manager Gary Bowyer, and his favourite player Tommy Spurr, before being presented with a pair of Paul Robinson's goalkeeper gloves.

Topic: Where to find treatment in the UK
My husband was diagnosed in June 2007 and we spent many months researching and trying to find, in the UK, the different treatments that are available in the USA e.g. at the Mayo Clinic. We would now like to save others the stress of endless searching by sharing the results of our efforts.
If you are looking for external beam radio therapy on the NHS, we suggest that you try Dr Sibtain at Barts hospital in London. He is extremely caring and helpful and will do the treatment if he thinks the patient understands all the relevant issues and is strong enough to under go the 5 week course of treatment. You can contact his secretary at the hospital and then will need a referral from your G.P.
We have more recently found out about the work of Dr Wassan at the Hammersmith Hospital. There they seem to be a centre for cholangiocarcinoma with a large number of patients on their lists. They offer a range of treatments on the NHS, including combination chemo therapy and external beam radiotherapy. They also offer the microspheres form of brachy therapy for suitable patients, although this is only available privately as yet and costs around

Those who sign up for the Adobe AIR redistribution license have had the ability to silently install and uninstall AIR applications since the AIR 1.0 release. Unfortunately, the silent uninstall support on Windows is a bit rough. I've included below a link to a utility I wrote that eases the problem a bit. But first, a little background on the issue.
When an AIR application is installed on Windows, it's installed via Windows Installer. This is a good thing; it allows leveraging all the capabilities of Windows Installer. For example, silently uninstalling an AIR application on Windows can be accomplished directly via the "msiexec" utility that is part of Windows. All you need to provide to msiexec is the product code of the application.
AIR applications don't inherently contain product codes—they're specific to Windows Installer—and you won't, for example, find one in your application descriptor. Furthermore, Windows Installer requires that product codes change—even for the same application—under certain circumstances. In order to play it safe, AIR generates a unique product code for each version of your application. This, in turn, means you need to know the product code associated with the specific installed version of the application in order to uninstall it. This is a hassle.
Fortunately, Windows Installer also associates an upgrade code with each application. An upgrade code is basically an application identifier that never changes and, given an upgrade code, you can look up the corresponding product code. The mapping from upgrade code to product code is stored in the registry at application install time. Like product codes, AIR generates an upgrade code for your application. Unlike product codes, upgrade codes are the same across all versions of your application and are easily determined via the OSID application that comes with the redistribution support.
Unfortunately, the only way to look up that mapping is via the MsiEnumRelatedProducts() system call, and the msiexec utility won't do it for you. (Theoretically you can look this mapping up yourself in the registry, but that turns out to be fairly complicated, and I'm not sure it can be done reliably.)
How much of a problem this is depends on the uninstall technology you're using, whether or not it can perform this lookup for you, and whether or not you're in a position to write a few lines of C code to perform the lookup. For anyone out of luck on all counts—or just curious—I've written a small utility called "msiu2p". You can download msiu2p here. (The zip package includes the executable and the source.)
Here's an example:
c:\ msiu2p {8DA920D5-C41C-42E0-BF31-87BA49984EE4} {A2BCA9F1-566C-4805-97D1-7FDC93386723} c:\
Of course this isn't useful just for AIR applications, either: It's a handy complement to msiexec for any application using Windows Installer.
We plan to improve AIR's intrinsic support for this kind of thing in an upcoming release. In the meantime, I hope this utility will help fill the gap for those who need it.

Broad scientists win innovation, transformative research grants
Five scientists from the Broad Institute and its partners have won federal grants to pursue projects with the potential to transform scientific research and more rapidly bring biomedical advances to patients.
The National Institutes of Health is awarding approximately $155 million to 81 researchers across the country who are pursuing visionary science through its High Risk High Reward program, supported by the NIH Common Fund.
Feng Zhang, Broad core faculty member, an assistant professor at MIT in the departments of brain and cognitive sciences and biological engineering, and an investigator at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT, has won one of 10 NIH Director's Pioneer awards for a project titled "Probing Neuropsychiatric Diseases Using Targeted Epigenome and Genome Engineering." Emily Balskus, Broad associate member and assistant professor of chemistry and chemical biology at Harvard, has received one of 50 New Innovator awards for "Biocompatible Chemistry for In Vivo Metabolite Modification."
Zhang is also one of four key investigators in a seamless partnership spanning the Broad, Harvard, MIT, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Brigham and Women's Hospital. A five-year Transformative Research Project award has been made to the team, which is also jointly led by David Altshuler, founding core faculty member at the Broad and professor of genetics and of medicine at Harvard Medical School and at Massachusetts General Hospital; Chad Cowan, assistant professor of stem cell and regenerative biology and co-leader of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute's diabetes program; and Kiran Musunuru, assistant professor of stem cell and regenerative Biology at Harvard University and an associate physician at Brigham and Women's Hospital.
Together their project aims to create better tools to better understand type 2 diabetes and heart attacks by doing experiments on human embryonic stem cells engineered to carry specific genetic mutations found in patients with these diseases. Diabetes affects 300 million people around the world, according to World Health Organization estimates, and heart attacks are the leading cause of death in the world.
The team will exploit recent advances in next-generation sequencing studies to read DNA, identifying potentially important genetic mutations in these common diseases. They will also build on innovative work by Zhang that makes it possible to edit the DNA of a patient. This will allow them to introduce any number of mutations into a human embryonic stem cell that has been transformed into one of four types of cells important in diabetes and heart attacks: muscle, fat, liver, and insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells.
Their hope is these human cells will make it possible to connect genetic mutations to defects in cell biology that result in patients' disease. Engineering human stem cells in this fashion offers the potentially major advantage of isolating genetic mutations that contribute to diabetes or heart disease, without having to tease out other, confounding factors.
The ultimate goal is to use this knowledge to improve therapies for diabetes and heart attacks.
"If successful, this has the potential to augment some of the studies currently done in animal models with comparably powerful human experimental studies," Altshuler said. "We hope that will translate in the long run into being able to treat or prevent these diseases in humans."
The goals are ambitious and potentially applicable to other diseases, Altshuler said, making the project ideal for the NIH program.
"The Common Fund High Risk High Reward program provides opportunities for innovative investigators in any area of health research to take risks when the potential impact in biomedical and behavioral science is high," NIH Director Francis S. Collins said in a statement announcing the awards.

Best red wine 2007
My best red in 2006 was 20 years old.
Tasted during a mini 1986 horizontal at Shelly's steack house with NYC Wine Club Gruaud Larose was nothing short of superb. The wine was fleshy in your mouth and developping fantastic tertiary flavours of underwood, mushrooms, french oak and tobacco with a super long length. Need to be decanted two hours to soften the tannins. A steal at $140 retail price.

The Social Network comes to Blu-ray
The Social Network opens with a conversation between Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) and his soon-to-be-ex-girlfriend (Rooney Mara), and it's the perfect setup for a movie about a certain form of Internet interaction. Here, a gifted young man summons up all the brilliance of his mind for a magnificent verbal display, but the only thing he can actually get across is ineffectual anger wrapped in an obsession with the trivial and the banal. And from that wasted effort emerges the blueprint for Facebook.
Getting an analysis of social media into a first scene without a computer being present requires another brilliant mind - courtesy Aaron Sorkin. As with his earlier writing for Broadway and Hollywood (A Few Good Men) and TV (Sports Night, The West Wing), Sorkin involves deep, nuanced characters in spitfire exchanges reminiscent of classic screwball comedies while still bringing out the pathos of the human condition. Although the story of The Social Network - rejected nerd builds a concept into a company - is full of complex ideas instead of action, but Sorkin and director David Fincher make it not only understandable but thrilling.

This hasn't been added to the schedule yet, it should be soon, but I wanted to give a heads up on this. I'm teaching a course on Pixel Bender this year, picking up from where my labs in 2008 left off. Here is the current description:
So you've walked through the tutorials, added some filters to your display objects, maybe added a animating parameter or two, even written some of your own filters from scratch. What next? This lab will introduce you to topics like: optimizing your Pixel Bender and Actionscript code; using ShaderJobs to process data asynchronously; using Pixel Bender to process audio and other non-image data efficiently in your Flash movies; taking advantage of Pixel Bender parameter metadata; new Pixel Bender APIs in Flex4; and will give you a look under the covers to how Pixel Bender runtime works in Flash Player 10.1
I'd like your input on topics that you'd like me to cover. Please leave your suggestions in the comments.
Also, in my previous labs, I used Flash Pro, this time I'd like to use Flash Builder, but I can go either way. Which would you prefer?
For those figuring out their MAX schedule, it looks like my lab will be on Monday at 5pm in room 402AB.
Update: The 90 minute session will be Wednesday, October 27 at 04:00PM in room 402AB. It is right at the end of MAX, so hopefully you will be able to attend.
If you are interested in attending my lab, please make sure that you at least are comfortable with the things I covered in my introductory tutorial.
Hope to see you there!
Hello Kevin,
Would it be beneficial for general PB under AE / Photoshop?

PALMER-The Sutherland Sailors' turnaround season came to an end on Thursday when they were defeated by Palmer, 63-14, in the first round of the Class D1 state playoffs.
Palmer will play No. 1 seed Overton on Wednesday in the second round.
Sutherland makes playoffs with desire, intensity
When new football coach John Sloup arrived in Sutherland this season, he guaranteed the Sailors they would have success.
He did not guarantee wins, something Sutherland hadn't seen in two seasons, he just guaranteed that with their best foot forward they would get the most out of themselves as a team.
But the Sailors took it one step further and they got some wins - five of them, to be exact, and an appearance in the Class D1 state playoffs.
Sloup said that after going 0-8 in 2011 and 2012, the Sailors were just sick of losing and they did what it took to win this season.
"It shows just how determined they are, every one of them could of given up on the sport and no one would have blamed them," said Sloup, who was previously an assistant coach at Hartington and a thrower on the track and field team at Wayne State. "They bought in from day one and the seniors really took this team over early and said they didn't want anything anymore, they needed success."
This season has been a return to form for Sutherland. From 2007-2009, the Sailors qualified for the playoffs in three straight years and in 2009, they made it to the Class C2 quarterfinals behind star running back Randon McKain, among others.
But in 2010, Sutherland only won one game and then came the two winless seasons. But then came Sloup.
Even though he wasn't around for those three miserable seasons, Sloup knew how bad his players wanted to turn it around. He said that there was a way to do just that, but it was going to take everything they had.
"What I meant (when I guaranteed success) is I expect everyone's best attitude and best effort," Sloup said. "When you can give everything you have to yourself and your teammates then success takes care of itself."
But it didn't reflect right away on the scoreboard. In the Sailors' first game on Sept. 6, they lost 69-22 to Overton, who is currently entering the playoffs undefeated.
But the week after that, Sutherland won its first game in nearly three years by beating Southwest, 66-42.
It felt good but the Sailors weren't satisfied.
"The win over Southwest was great for our guys to get that monkey off their back," Sloup said. "The most impressive part of that victory though was how they knew immediately that, although the win was a long time coming and well deserved, that wasn't the only goal we had for this season. There was going to be a long road ahead of them and they had to keep their nose down and go to work for the rest of season."
Sutherland lost its next two to Arapahoe and Hemingford, both playoff teams who are a combined 14-2 this season. But then on Oct. 4, the Sailors beat Maxwell 56-44 and since then, they haven't lost. After the win over the Wildcats, Sloup's team finished the regular season with victories over SMC, Paxton and Morrill.
"We stood in the locker room after the Hemingford loss knowing we were 1-3 and as a group we made a promise to each other that we would do absolutely everything it took to get to the playoffs and that meant winning out," Sloup said.
In the previous two seasons, Sutherland was undermanned with barely enough players to field a team. That meant an opportunity for younger players, sophomores and even freshman, to get experience and that experience has paid off.
Sloup said that when the season first started, he just saw a lot of untapped talent.
"There were good football players here when I got here they just hadn't been used or motivated properly for a couple years," he said.
But Sloup says that the biggest thing Sutherland has done is sustaining a high level of intensity from week to week, which is fueled by the players' desire to play well.
"There are so many things our guys have done well but the main point that I wanted these guys to accomplish was getting rid of just wanting success and turning that into needing it," Sloup said. "There are wants and needs in life and they have really done a good job of needing success this year, almost like an addiction. Week by week they just get hungrier for more and more success but that only comes from the fact that they work so dang hard each week."

Creative Lab's Nomad Muvo TX - Best of the micro MP3 playersby Andrew Ku on 5/27/2004 12:05 AM EST

RJB2005 - Friday, April 15, 2005 - linkI regretted buying the creative nomad tx after only one day of use. I'm a low end user in all respects, but despite this I can by no means escape being SO MUCH annoyed by the poor sound quality of the player. It just seems unable to "cover" all the instruments in a track, and is really unable to NOT get oversteered when I play my language course tapes on it. Even with good earbuds (ipod). I bought an ipod mini to overcome my trauma.... of which the sound quality is impressive. Stick to my advice: JUST DON'T BUY IT ! Reply
XRaider - Saturday, May 29, 2004 - linkYea, it would be nice if they had an iRiver to test. Also, get a whole bunch of diff MP3 flash players and test them all at once... and put battery life results in the tests too. Reply
WizzBall - Friday, May 28, 2004 - linkWhat can I say... I just hope that this is not your sound expert here at Anandtech o.O Reply
dilmonen - Friday, May 28, 2004 - linkman, this thing was great, but suddenly came up with a "disk partition error" and i had to go to creative to get a firmware upgrade to 'resolve' the issue by reformatting the whole thing.
i even did all the 'eject hardware' first like it states. my wife has the nx 256mb and we've not had any problems with it at all. the tx got the file glitch and apparently creative knows about it. Reply
Lurks - Friday, May 28, 2004 - linkClaiming that it's the best on the market assumes that you've seen all the products on the market. I find from reading this peice that it's pretty clear the author hasn't seen a fraction of the amazing flash-based MP3-player products that have come out of Korea recently.
As for the claim that the Muvo is geared towards people who need a flash drive as much as an mp3 player. That is, with all due respect, complete nonsense.
Further more it's seriously annoying seeing nonsense subjective sound comparisons such as 'crisp but not as crisp as the ipod'.
If you actually measure distortion out of an ipod, you'll find it's near the bottom end of sound quality of current generation mp3 players. But hey, it's chrome and looks sexy, it must sound good right?
AndrewKu - Thursday, May 27, 2004 - link#9 - That was a great product, I have to admit. But it is in a totally different market. That was more for the MP3 market. The Muvo is geared toward the crossover between flash drives and MP3 market, for people who need one as much as the other. Reply
RDaneel - Thursday, May 27, 2004 - linkI don't see how anyone can get excited about this Muvo player when the Panasonic SV-SD75/80 was doing everything but the USB interface years ago - and is much smaller!
The SV-SD80 is smaller than even the Muvo, and even if you want to use the hard carry case (which adds a AAA battery as well) it is tiny. It has over 50 hours of playback in that form, and uses SD cards, which are less convenient than the built in memory, but are at least updradeable.
The Muvo is neat, but the Panny was doing it better in 2002! Reply
AndrewKu - Thursday, May 27, 2004 - link#6 The Muvo TX holds the USB drive very snuggly into the battery module. As you can tell from the pictures, there is a grove on the drive that gives it additional security. We field tested it, it did very well. Reply
gherald - Thursday, May 27, 2004 - linkI have a 256mb Muvo NX and it's awesome. I now regret not waiting for the "hi-speed USB 2.0" TX model, but such is life.
Anyway, it's an awesome player for the size and the controls are great.
I got 4 AAA rechageable batteries from RadioShack that recharge in 15(!!) minutes, which is just incredible. So 15 minutes of charge time for about 7-8 hours of music per battery... wow. Reply
Warder45 - Thursday, May 27, 2004 - link4- Interesting, I never knew about the voltage differences. I wonder why there is a change?
5- agreed, the brand new iRivers have ogg support. I'm crossing my fingers a firmware upgrade will allow my older model to gain ogg support. I wish anandtech would review one of those, as they are making some pretty high battery life claims.
Another reason I don't like the Muvo's is that I've been told repeatedly that the clip holding the USB part to the rest of the unit wears out rather quick. And I don't want to be jogging and have the unit come apart on me. Reply

plewis00 - Thursday, May 27, 2004 - linkThe only reason they say don't use rechargeables is because they are a different voltage (1.2V vs. 1.5V) and this can produce some strange results. In the past I've always used rechargeable batteries in my MP3 players and found the *only* problem with them is that the power management can't accurately read the remaining battery life left (e.g. my Nokia HDR-1, cuts out when it's been on 3 out of 5 bars for about 2 hours, but it still lasts about 5 hours for solid music which is in line with alkalines, Creative Jukebox goes down to 1 out of 3 bars quickly but will power up in this mode for hours). I think you will be fine with decent Ni-MH cells. Reply
GraemeWright - Thursday, May 27, 2004 - linkAgreed - but most manufacturers say that they do not support rechangeable batteries. I would agree if they do then it is a better option.
Thanks Reply

1 - You can buy rechargible batteries anywhere for alittle more cost then normal batteries. With built in batteries once it's drained you have to stop listening and recharge, with external rechargible batteries you can quickly pop in another one while the first is rechargeing. Reply
GraemeWright - Thursday, May 27, 2004 - linkThe only problem I have with most of these devices is that they do not use rechargeable power supplies. I am currently using a "No Name" player - an iBead 150 which has all the usual features of MP3 player, FM Radio, Voice and FM recording. However it has an in built battery which is charged of the USB port - you get about 14hrs of play out of a charge and weighs in at only 37g. Down side is that it is not USB2.
Why don't other supplies add the support of at least rechargeable AAA?

"TERRIFIC" with much more to come... that's how the team behind Taunton's Brewhouse Theatre's re-opening summed up its first week.
Scouts and guides breathed new life into the venue last week with the bright, non-stop song and dance of Taunton's 25th Gang Show being the first production on the programme.
"We had a really good week," said Val Hammond, founder-member of the Taunton Theatre Association and chair of the board of directors.
"The performers were on top form, extremely enthusiastic, and so many people came through the doors saying how glad they were to be back in the Brewhouse.
"It was moving to see so many appreciative people and a good buzz."
Thanks to the "absolutely brilliant" team of volunteers coming together to get everything ship-shape before opening, the week was glitch-free, even despite the run on ice cream.
Val said: "I thought I'd ordered enough for a fortnight, but after two nights I had to make a complete re-order!"
The Young Musical Theatre Company took to the stage last night (Wednesday) for their run of Disney smash High School Musical until Saturday, and beyond that the programme is constantly changing.
Val said: "As fast as we produce a flyer other things come in to add to it, so we're going to have to keep updating it.
"All in all it's going well."

Everyone is learning something new so don't feel alone J05HUA.
I don't mean to get all philosophical on you but you should try not convincing yourself and the world that you're an idiot. What one speaks with one's mouth and thinks with one's mind becomes reality. That's probably the best advice I can give you at this stage.
Another thing... if you have a problem with a particular tutorial, you should post your question in the related thread. That way you're more likely to get specific help related to that particular problem.
Remember... you're not wasting anyone's time, because whoever helps you is not by your force but by their choice.
Lastly... those GUI Wireless Assistants suck, suck, suck. Use CLI Command Line Interface, ie. iwconfig, ifconfig etc.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Ohio lawmakers and state Attorney General Mike DeWine are promoting legislation to stop the financial exploitation of older Ohioans.
The proposals to be discussed Thursday by DeWine and House Rep. Mike Dovilla, a Berea Republican, and Rep. Wes Retherford, a Hamilton Republican, come at a time when experts estimate as many as 2 million older Americans are abused in various ways each year.
That abuse can range from physical assault to the misuse of a person's money, property and assets.
The proposed Ohio bill would also ensure that the life savings and homes of senior citizens are protected.

Tiskilwa resident Hanna Ganther is working as an intern in Mexico during her summer break from college. Ganther will continue to update readers on her adventure south of the border.
I have learned so much in the time that I have been here in Mexico at Grace Babies' Home that I thought I could share some of what I have learned about the different struggles these kids have and why they have it.
The children who come here to the babies' home and the children's home across the street all come from hard places. They all have gone through a lot; some have even experienced some things that most people can't even begin to imagine how horrible it was for them. So most of the time these kids struggle with attachment and have sensory issues.
Now what is attachment? I can admit I did not know a single thing about attachment and how important it was until I got here. There are four main categories when it comes to attachment. The first type is secure attachment; this is the healthiest type of attachment, and this is our goal with the kids. For secure attachments, the child uses the caregiver for their security and comfort. When their caregiver leaves, these are the kids who protest and cry out for their caregiver. They know their safety is found there. The caregiver knows their child, so they know how to respond appropriately and quickly to the needs of the child, therefore they have formed a secure bond with the child.
The next type of attachment pattern is avoidant. In this attachment style, the child shows no distress when their caregiver leaves, and when that caregiver returns, the child does not visibly respond to that return. The child does not feel an attachment to their caregiver; they would respond in the same way to their caregiver as they would respond to a stranger. This occurs when the caregiver does not respond to the child in distress.
The third type of attachment is ambivalent/resistant. In this type, the child is not able to use the caregiver as their security. They are distressed when separated, but when the caregiver returns to play, they are resistant to that play. This is often because their caregiver gives inconsistent responses to the child, so the child doesn't know how to respond.
The last type of attachment is disorganized; in this type, there is no attachment at all. There are disorientated behaviors at the return of the caregiver. This is often because of abuse or withdrawal from the child.
Also when the kids get here —because of the trauma that they have been through — they are behind developmentally. They just have not been in healthy situations that would allow them to develop the way other children have. This could be because of abuse, neglect, drugs and FAS (fetal alcohol syndrome). All of these things can cause kids to have issues with sensory things.
For example, one of the interns here, her family does a lot of fostering. They cut all the tags out of their clothes because it literally causes pain to the kids. It feels like needles on their skin. Even things like textures of food can throw them off.
So when children from hard places act up, it's not because they are bad kids. Not even close. But because of all they have gone through, they react in the ways that they do. I am no expert on this matter, but I just wanted to share what I had learned about all of this. If you want to look into this more, I suggest you look at Dr. Karyn Purvis' research. That is where I have learned all the things that I have about all of these different issues.
The goal here at Grace Babies' Home is to build secure attachments with the babies' here, and it's so cool to see that happening with Daniela, Maria and Jesus. When I first got here, Daniela and Maria wouldn't have much to do with me. They wouldn't let me feed them, put them down to bed, give them their bottles, and other things like that. But now that I have been here a while, they have started to trust me, and most of the time they let me do all those things.
I think one of my favorite moments was last week; I was coming in the kitchen to get something while I was off shift, and Maria ran up to me and gave me a little hug. She was so excited to see me. My heart melted right then and there.
So there you go ... these are just a few things that I have learned. I still have so much to learn about the subject of attachment. It's just amazing how much I am learning this summer, and things I did not expect to learn either. I guess we'll see how God is going to use this information in my life outside of how I am using it here.

Skill usage Править
- Sometimes it is better to stand still and go into Camouflage for an escape mechanism than to use Move Quick or Recall.
- Unlike other stealth abilities, Camouflage if knocked up. loses
- When playing Camouflage just out of range of their turrets' sight or at the edge of the bush closest to their turret, and wait for the enemy champion to start farming. When they move about right next to you, Ignite and kill them with the help of the mid lane champion if necessary. Exhaust would be useful with this strategy. not in mid lane, an easy way to get First Blood is to use
- Blinding Dart can be used to harass effectively and can help kill physical champions in fights.
- Blinding Dart with Exhaust can destroy a champion who relies heavily on physical attacks like or . Apply blind first then apply Exhaust after the blind has worn off. This will allow your blind CD to refresh while your enemy is exhausted, minimizing their DPS. If you use both at the same time, the blind will override the attack damage/ability power reduction. Similarly, you can use these two abilities on two champions, effectively taking them out of the battle for a few seconds.
- Blinding Dart can be used in-between autoattacks, which allows 2 rapid-fire attacks. This is extremely important to learn how to use throughout the game. Opening with a normal attack, immediately using Blinding Dart, then proceeding to autoattack will apply great burst damage, even during laning. Try mastering this combo to use it on the fly and you'll increase your ability power/attack speed damage tremendously.
- If Blinding Dart is used on before she activates her ult Blade Waltz it will stop the damage from the attacks but the on-hit affects will still apply, this will dramatically decrease the damage taken. This also applies to Infinite Duress .
- Use Move Quick to get back to lane quicker.
- Move Quick can also be used to get from lane to lane very quickly, allowing you to help out in fights all over the map.
- Using Ignite with your poison can ensure kills on fleeing enemies.
- One strategy is to place some Noxious Trap in your lane and wait for the enemy to push. After this, go into Camouflage. Then, after the enemy runs into a couple of Noxious Traps, use Blinding Dart and auto attacks to finish them.
- Placing a Noxious Trap or two behind the first turret and before the 2nd near the paths to the jungle but not in the minions' path can turn an almost kill into an easy kill.
- Noxious Trap can be used to farm creep waves very effectively; it is best to keep your mushrooms spread out and not too close to each other. If a lane has enemy minions stacking on each other (especially the ranged minions), pop a Noxious Trap down in the middle of them and watch them all die in just a few seconds. Use this only if you need to stop a wave immediately or stop future waves, because it is necessary to maximize potential damage by increasing the number of active shrooms on the map to win. More shrooms = more chances of hitting them = more net damage.
- Put a Noxious Trap at key locations on the map, such as by the or to reveal when your enemies might be attempting to kill them or to prevent ganking and make counter ganks. This is similar to a Sight Ward but the range that Noxious Trap reveals is much smaller. (Tip: Place 2. One near the opening and one behind the monster. The front one will explode after an enemy steps on it, thwarting them from starting Baron or dragon, while the back one will allow you to see the health of the monster and whether it is being attacked)
- Depending on the enemy teams melee/range makeup, you can put a Noxious Trap to the side of to reveal 1 or 2 enemy melee champions, or you can place them a little behind the side of the baron if there are 3 or more. This will usually reveal enemy melee champions currently attempting to slay .
- Put a Noxious Trap inside brushes and entrances to your lanes or your team's side of the map to ensure maximum safety.
- When fighting against a Destiny any Noxious Traps near any ally will be revealed. , be careful because if he uses
- When laying down Noxious Traps in the jungle, keep in mind that the champion movement pathing often hugs the terrain as they take the shortest route to the selected location. Laying traps against walls at turning points will increase the chance enemies will run into them on their way to/from lanes. Placing down shrooms in the center will allow for a more permanent ward (sometimes).
- Also, when laying traps in a lane, remember that minions travel through the middle, and if the front minion runs into it only he and one minion behind him will be hit. Placing them on the sides can increase the chances of hitting a champion.
- Placing two to three Noxious Traps by the enemy red or blue buff is generally a good idea considering you might just get lucky and steal it from them while slowing their farming down.
- It's sometimes a good idea to place a few Noxious Traps behind you before entering a teamfight, that way if you begin to lose, your team can run off and lead the enemy right into a minefield.
- If planting mushrooms at or , they will provide vision if placed off to the side.
- Don't forget that Noxious Trap can be placed down in team fights and only has a short time to arm (1 second). Doing this could secure a kill or slow down an enemy when he/she is trying to escape.
- If you are suspecting a possible towerdive from an opposing champion, place Noxious Traps behind and in front of your turret in order to slow and deal damage to the enemy.
- If an enemy is engaging you at melee range, Noxious Traps can be used to peel them off you by placing one underneath you and stepping backwards.
Build usage Править
- Noxious Trap's recharge time is greatly improved with cooldown reduction.
- Nashor's Tooth is excellent for this purpose.
- One build route for physical damage route; this route takes advantage of innately fast attack speed and quick attack animation along with the attack speed boost his innate ability provides. This involves getting items which boost attack damage and attack speed, such as; Blade of the Ruined King, The Black Cleaver, Wit's End, Infinity Edge and The Bloodthirster. is the
- Note that items like The Black Cleaver increase physical damage, while Nashor's Tooth increases magical damage. Building on-hit effect with physical damage items will reduce damage output if you opt to buy those shred items. Nashor's Tooth, for example, will not increase the damage that Infinity Edge gives, while The Black Cleaver will not increase the damage that Wit's End deals. Additionally, on-hit effects cannot critically strike or proc life steal. Keep this in mind when buying items like Phantom Dancer.
- A second route is the ability power route; this route focuses on ability to deal damage via Blinding Dart, Toxic Shot and Noxious Trap. This involves getting items which boost AP, grant magic penetration and cooldown reduction, such as; Deathfire Grasp, Rabadon's Deathcap, Void Staff, Sorcerer's Shoes and Rod of Ages.
- Magic penetration will apply to already existing traps. Buying items such as Void Staff or Haunting Guise will greatly increase their damage, even if they are bought while you are dead.
- Wit's End or Nashor's Tooth. These combos work well with his poison's on-hit effect. can build ability power and attack speed with items that proc on-hit effects, like
- Building a Lich Bane on ability power can lead to huge bursts of damage.
- Nashor's Tooth benefits on-hit damage, due to its new passive.
- However, the cooldown reduction gives more opportunities to cast Blinding Dart and Noxious Trap, which provides much utility. If building into a mage, Nashor's Tooth is a must.
- Blade of the Ruined King gives an additional on-hit effect while providing life steal in one item.
- With Runaan's Hurricane, Toxic Shots can proc on up to 2 additional enemies.
- Liandry's Torment combined with Noxious Trap deal massive amount of health burn, up to 4% per second per mushroom. The base amount is 2%, doubled when the movement is impaired. The health burn will refresh every poison tick, which occurs every one second. This means the total burn will equal 20%. 4 seconds of doubled damage totaling 16% and 2 seconds of normal damage continuing after the poison expires totaling 4%.
- Toxic Shot does NOT trigger Liandry's Torment's passive because it is an on-hit effect.
- Although Move Quick significantly increases this out of combat. Combined with Boots of Mobility and Lich Bane can move between lanes and get back to lane very quickly.
has a slow basic movement speed,
- However, if an enemy runs into one of your traps, you will be in combat. This means the bonus movement speed from Boots of Mobility will be removed.
- Guinsoo's Rageblade is an item that works well with on-hit effect builds. It gives Teemo additional attack speed and ability power both of which work well with his Toxic Shot. A build that uses Nashor's Tooth, Wit's End and Guinsoo's Rageblade can do significant damage.
Recommended builds Править
Countering Править
- Purchasing Doran's Shield can counter early game by reducing damage from his autoattacks and restoring health, but bear in mind that Toxic Shot is not blocked. This is especially useful for melee champions who will take occasional harass from in lane.
- Purchasing, The Lightbringer or Hextech Sweeper will help you see his Noxious Trap or himself that is hidden with his Camouflage.
- Alternatively, you can set up Vision Ward in the strategic place where you think will place his Noxious Trap. You also can attempt to bait him into taking out your Vision Ward in order to engage a fight.
- When facing Quicksilver Sash to remove the blind CC from his Blinding Dart. as an auto-attack reliant champion, it is best advised to buy a
- Use Spectre's Cowl Spectre's Cowl when up against an AP , as it will mitigate a good portion of his damage output and restore you some health.
- Use a Health Potion when you are low on health and are affected by Toxic Shot, that way you can negate the poison damage from his Toxic Shot.
- Since most of Toxic Shot, consider building Randuin's Omen and Frozen Heart. More especially so with the former as it's passive and active can negate Move Quick.
damage output comes from autoattacks with his
- Keep in note that Toxic Shot deals a lot of magic damage instead of physical damage and you still need some magic resistance along with attack speed reduction.
- When chasing an enemy Camouflage, area of effect and skill shot abilities can forcibly cause to break stealth and attempt to escape. Knockback and knockup effects will break Camouflage as well. that enters
- When facing AP build Health Potions to keep your health high. during early game, they will typically poke and run, letting their poison deal damage and lowering your health gradually, until they are able to burst. Be prepared to pull away if he approaches, and use
- Do not chase Noxious Traps. if he attacks once and then runs, particularly AP , as he is most likely luring you through a field of
- Because much of Teemo's early game poke is damage over time, the Unyielding [[Unyielding|]] mastery is more effective in decreasing his poke damage.
- If you are using a champion whose damage output is either strongly or entirely based on their auto attacks (ex. Blinding Dart
, , , or even himself) you need to purchase items to mitigate Teemo's
- Quicksilver Sash and items providing Tenacity are quite useful (ex. Mercury's Treads and Zephyr)
- Spirit of the Ancient Golem works better to this end for champions in need of more survivability.
- Quicksilver Sash and items providing Tenacity are quite useful (ex. Mercury's Treads and Zephyr)
- Teemo is often played top lane and very rarely mid lane because his Blinding Dart, his damage over time with his Toxic Shot and his kiting kit potential with his Move Quick and Noxious Traps can give most melee bruisers (i.e. , , , , , , , , , , , and ), assassins (i.e. , , , and ) an extremely hard time. However, keep in note that Blinding Dart only blocks auto-attacks and does not block damage and crowd-control effects from abilities. Because of this, AP mages with spells that can outrange and out-push him (i.e. and ) or AD casters with spammable ranged abilities (i.e. and ) can lane decently well against Teemo and zone him out.
- Most minefield. players disregard building defensive items and are therefore easy to kill. Look for opportunities to engage and burst him before he can retreat to his
- Oracle's Lens Oracle's Lens is a great counter to Teemo, revealing and disabling his traps whilst giving you true sight for ten seconds to sweep out even more mushrooms or see a camouflaged Teemo.
- Noxious Traps grants Teemo strong map control by granting minor vision in addition to the strong slow and damage over time makes Teemo relatively difficult to gank after level 6. Coordinate with your jungler before level 6 to shut down his farming and bring Oracle's Lens Oracle's Lens if necessary.
- Unholy Covenant mitigates a lot of 's poking harass, including Toxic Shot. Second, is able to out-sustain with his Omen of Famine. Third, his kit functions more of a ranged AD caster rather than an autoattacker, thus making Teemo's Blinding Dart useless. Finally, can use his ghouls to safely detonate Noxious Traps in a safe distance, thus denying Teemo lane and map control. is considered to be a strong counter to for many reasons.

A SERIAL fraudster targeted an Accrington bank when he tried to obtain information about a company's account.
Blackburn magistrates heard Raymond George Hill was recognised as being on a 'rogues gallery' when he went into the Yorkshire Bank and made inquiries about the finances of Fagan and Whalley.
And the court heard a week later Hill went into branches of the same bank in Blackpool and made inquiries about another company's account.
Hill, 62, of Stockport Road, Hyde, Cheshire, pleaded guilty to three charges of fraud by falsely representing that he was a company director to access a bank account.
He was fined £110 with £100 costs after the court heard he was being recalled to prison because the offences put him in breach of prison licence. Parveen Akhtar, prosecuting, described Hill as a prolific offender who had over 100 convictions for fraud.
Hill told police he had been involved in a high stakes gambling syndicate and owed members a large amount of money.
Laura Heywood, defending, said the syndicate had £100,000 in the bank in the name of a member who died.

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
The study, "The Shoppers' Perspective," uncovered three distinct and enduring behavioral styles that defy characterization by the more traditional evaluative criteria of income level, age of household or size of household. Scottsdale, Ariz.-based Henkel is spearheading shopping insights for over 300 categories and 200-plus customers.

 "Our findings suggest an alternative basis for retailer marketing and merchandising that may offer significant advantages," noted Mack Hoopes, manager, consumer insights. "They challenge our assumptions about the relative value of certain shopper segments."

 The study analyzed three years of data from multiple retail channels, covering 300 food and nonfood categories usually carried in supermarkets. The information was collected from the IRI Consumer Network Panel and other sources.

 The behavioral styles identified were as follows:

 —Shoptimizers are most likely to be influenced in their choices by pre-shopping stimuli such as circulars and coupons. This group accounts for nearly 100 percent of coupon usage

 —Mainstreeters do much less pre-planning and rarely save coupons, so their store choices are more likely to be influenced by location, convenience and price reputation. This group is highly sensitive to in store messaging and promotions

 —Carefrees eschew pre-planning, and once inside the store, tend to ignore prices and promotions and just buy what they like

 "Members of each group select stores based on their trust that they will deliver what they value in a shopping trip," added Hoopes. "We believe we have identified some foundational elements of pre-planning and reinforced a fundamental truth for all shoppers—if they trust you they shop you."

 For instance, the results suggest some retailers may unwisely label highly motivated Shoptimizers as less desirable because they take greater advantage of deals and coupons, while these shoppers actually shop more frequently and index higher on total spending.

 The study concludes that retailers need to know which segments they want to market to, and make their positions clear.

 "The Shoppers' Perspective" is one core component of an overall innovative strategic approach to the Dial Corp.'s WIS (Winning In Store) strategy, which combines the previous disparate disciplines of category management, in-store merchandising, shopper marketing and research into one seamless WIS team, which offers sales and customers research-based insights and programming designed to deliver a wide range of category-based solutions. Dial is a division of Henkel.

 Additional research, yielding further insights, will be released in the coming months. For more information, visit www.henkelna.com/shopperinsights.

Soldiers in Stone to Honor Local Veterans
On Wednesday morning, I had the opportunity to interview Evansville residents Kenny Tenbarge and Mike Mohan about a special project they've put together called Soldiers in Stone. This non-profit operation looks to raise money for different veteran's organizations and is quite an undertaking. The idea is to replace every brick in the sidewalk on Riverside Drive overlooking Dress Plaza with an engraved brick honoring a local vet that has been purchased by someone in the tri-state. That's right...every...single...brick.

Fox Hypes Non-Controversial Obama Comments To Distract From Criticism Of Romney
Blog ››› ››› REMINGTON SHEPARD
Fox News is hyping non-controversial comments by President Obama to suggest that he is a closet extremist.
Echoing an attack by Mitt Romney, several Fox personalities attacked Obama for saying in 1998 that he supports government spending in order to "make sure that everybody's got a shot." These Fox personalities suggested that Obama's views were more troubling than Mitt Romney's disparagement of the 47 percent of Americans he says are "dependent upon government."
But as The Washington Post's Greg Sargent pointed out, Obama's comments are completely uncontroversial. Indeed, even Romney said yesterday that he believes in "government caring for those in need." Sargent explained:
Maybe someone can explain how we can pay for "government caring for those in need" without "taking from some to give to others." How do you pay for a safety net without redistribution? (Behind closed doors, of course, Romney is far harsher about "those in need.")
Here is the full 1998 Obama quote that Romney and Republicans are casting as pro "redistribution":
"The trick is figuring out how do we structure government systems that pool resources and hence facilitate some redistribution. Because I actually believe in redistribution, at least at a certain level, to make sure that everybody's got a shot."
In other words, this is not meaningfully different from what Obama has said thousands of times.
But Fox nevertheless eagerly jumped on the Romney talking point that Obama is an extremist who supports redistribution.
On his Fox show, Sean Hannity claimed that Obama went "off teleprompter" in the video cited by Romney "admitting that in fact he believes in redistribution of wealth." Hannity called this supposed revelation a "key point in this campaign."
In a phone interview during On the Record, frequent Fox guest Donald Trump claimed he was not surprised by the video because redistribution is "his basic mindset."
Today, in a tease of a segment covering Obama's 14 year old comments, Fox & Friends co-host Gretchen Carlson suggested Obama was making the point that "the best way to create wealth is to spread it around," before playing a cropped clip of Obama's saying he "believes in redistribution."
And on his Fox Business show, Lou Dobbs attempted to justify Romney's 47 percent remarks. He followed by claiming that Obama's response to the supposedly high tax burden on the higher earners is to "squawk about redistribution and fairness."

HOUSTON - A driver led police on a lengthy chase after an officer tried to pull him over.
Houston police said an officer tried to stop the driver on Westheimer near Shepherd on suspicion of a traffic violation on Friday afternoon, but he refused.
Officers said the driver sped down several city streets before getting on the freeways. He stopped at an apartment complex in the 5300 block of Coke, near the intersection of Clinton and Lockwood.
The driver tried to run on foot, but officers tackled him and took him into custody.
The man, who has not been identified, will likely be charged with evading arrest.
Police have not said why the driver refused to stop initially.

Krysto - Thursday, February 28, 2013 - linkWhy is the upload speed always so much smaller than the download one? Is it a technical issue, as in it's harder to make the upload speed as fast or is it just laziness/desire to cut development cost. So they're like: "we've achieved 50 Mbps with it so far - let's not bother increasing that, and just ship it as it is". Reply
hfish - Monday, March 04, 2013 - linkbecause in you normal digital life you are more prone to download things than to upload them, so it seems pretty fair to have more bandwidth dedicated to downlink...
even in ADSL UL gets the noisy and smaller part of the spectrum, compared to DL Reply
dhruvz - Thursday, May 23, 2013 - linkthis is because of power amp limitations on device side. If you can power up your using a diesel generator, then you can have those awesome upload speeds as well. :)
the upload speeds are dependent on lot of things, power/battery on device side is one of the main reasons. Reply

UF soccer wins share of SEC regular season title
Published: Thursday, October 31, 2013 at 11:40 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, October 31, 2013 at 11:40 p.m.
ATHENS, Ga. — The tricks and treats on Halloween went to the Florida soccer team as the Gators won a share of the Southeastern Conference title with a 5-1 win over Georgia.
"It never gets old," UF veteran coach Becky Burleigh said. "It was an exciting finish. Thirteen is my lucky number and it is 2013 and this is our 13th title so I'm all down with that.
"I think we had a little adversity at the beginning of this game, but the team managed to battle through that. We scored against the run of play early and then kept scoring. It was good for us to show some relentlessness in this game and that is exactly what happened."
An unusual goal put the Gators (15-3-1, 9-2 SEC) up in the 16th minute. Sophomore Christen Westphal's 40-yard free kick went over the Bulldog goalkeeper's head and bounced untouched into the goal.
Florida scored again in the opening half when junior Havana Solaun played a ball to freshman Savannah Jordan just at the top of the Georgia defensive third.
Jordan beat her defender to place the ball in from 14 yards.
Later in the half, Solaun took advantage of a Bulldog defensive miscue. The ball was played shallow by the UGA goalkeeper and Solaun recovered the ball to place it in the empty goal. Florida's final goal of the half came when Jordan headed in a Solaun corner kick to the far corner.
Jordan upped her season goal total to 20 — one more than Abby Wambach in her freshman season with the Gators in 1998.
The Bulldogs (12-6-1, 5-5-1 SEC) ended the Gators' shutout streak with a goal by Madeline Barker in the 50th minute. Florida entered the match with on a six-match shutout streak and the Bulldog goal in the 50th minutes stopped the shutout streak at 609 minutes.
The lead was pushed back out the four in the 65th minute when junior Annie Speese successfully converted a penalty kick after the Bulldogs were whistled for a handball in the box.

- I came to RPGWatch when Myrthos and the rest of the team decided to leave RPGDot in 2006 and create a new site from scratch. Since I've been doing some basic web design before (I'm not an artist, unfortunately) and Myrthos enjoys doing the programming side of things more than the front-end, I offered to help. Since then, I'm mainly responsible for designing the layout of RPGWatch, creating color styles and dressing up the forums so they look like the rest of the site. I'm known to disappear for long periods of time, which is the reason why there are still several unfinished things around
My first RPG experiences were Ambermoon on the Amiga and Realms of Arkania on the PC, which I still remember oh so fondly. I seem to like European-style RPGs (Gothic, Realms of Arkania) more than US ones (Elder Scrolls, Dungeons & Dragons).

WallySimmonds - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkWhile Intel hasn't announced their NUC options, Gigabyte has - apparently they're getting released for sale in October here in Australia. They actually look like a better option than the Intel kit, too. Reply
HisDivineOrder - Wednesday, September 11, 2013 - linkExcept they have the lower end integrated GPU that seems ridiculously low powered next to the presumed Intel version that is sporting a Intel 5K GPU.
If you can't upgrade the thing, you want the integrated GPU to be the best it can be. Gigabyte did not do this.
If Gigabyte were to release an AMD version, that'd help mitigate the problem. Reply
fokka - Wednesday, September 11, 2013 - linkyou're right, but then again it depends on what you want to do with the kit. if watching youtube fullscreen is the hardest you will push your graphics there isn't much sense in shelling out for better graphics, is there? Reply
Ikefu - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkI'd really like to see a NUC based kit for robotics. Have it except a 12V input for standard battery operation and include some standard communication ports like SPI and I2C. It would be a smaller market but seems like a very cool target application. Reply
Casper42 - Wednesday, September 11, 2013 - linkWhat the heck are you doing that you need a Core i3 type CPU for?
I think a Smartphone, like romotive.com uses (though not personally an iPhone fan) is a lot easier
The NUC and BRIX both use 19v power supplies. I would venture to guess that an 18v system might work there though and that can be homebrewed fairly easily.
PS: its accept, not except. Reply
psuedonymous - Wednesday, September 11, 2013 - link
What the heck are you doing that you need a Core i3 type CPU for?
Vision processing (e.g. real-time DSLAM), on-board heuristic object recognition (i.e. not tethered to an external workstation), or and number of mapping tasks that are usually done externally and the robot just updated with it's position afterwards. Reply
flyingpants1 - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkThe price is pretty lame right now. Mini-itx is a big larger, but much better, more powerful and more flexible.
Call me when it's $300 for an i3 with SSD. Reply
HisDivineOrder - Wednesday, September 11, 2013 - linkWhat he said PLUS having the highest end Intel GPU included in the mix. I don't necessarily need it to be the best CPU, but it definitely has to have the best GPU Intel produces.
Conversely, give me an AMD version. Reply
fokka - Wednesday, September 11, 2013 - linkmini-itx is much larger. Reply
jwcalla - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkI think an ARM solution might be better (read: cheaper) here. E.g., a high-clocked Exynos 5. I wish there were some better options out there. Reply
WallySimmonds - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkThe USB android sticks aren't too bad, but getting Linux on to them is a bit of an effort. Something similar to that would be great... Reply
8steve8 - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - link"but we're also talking about significantly more performance..." (than the mac mini)
This is very false.
the current base mac mini uses a 35W i5-3210M, while all NUC announced and rumored use the lower performing, lower power, 18/17W class intel CPUs. Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, September 11, 2013 - linkRead more closely: AppleTV, not Mac Mini. The Mac Mini also measures 7.7" x 7.7" x 1.4", so NUC is 0.5" taller but 2.5" less width and 3.1" less length. Oh, and my hypothetical build with SSD and 8GB RAM would come out to $500 with a 120GB SSD. What does the Mac Mini have for $600? 4GB RAM and a 500GB HDD. Reply
8steve8 - Wednesday, September 11, 2013 - linkyou are very right.. sorry, I misread.
but I'm still frustrated with NUC... using 17/18w ULV CPUs...
NUC has more thickness for better cooling than an ultrabook, so they should use it to cool a hotter chip.
who wants a desktop slower than a macbook air?
apple got it right using a 35w cpu, and integrated PSU for the ivy bridge gen... they didn't get it right using a non-SSD hdd, and only 4GB of ram.. but they will announce their next one soon.
I'd love to see a 28w haswell NUC or a higher end iris pro 5200 one...
i just saw gigabyte's new brix with i7-4770R or i5-4570R... looks sick. : ) Reply
bobbozzo - Wednesday, September 11, 2013 - linkIt's still seems impossible to find 16GB unbuffered DIMMs (I'd like some for my HP MicroServer Gen8)...

Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College today launched its new brand initiative focused on advancing the image and reputation of the College. The brand will launch with the important strategic goals of enhancing student recruitment, fundraising and overall brand awareness.
The initiative, Aspire Higher, is a clear and distinctive message that's congruent with the College's mission and values but is also reflective of its advances and vision. The initiative speaks to every aspect of the College – academics, campus life, athletics, community and faith. Whether traditional, online or graduate, all students seek to direct their passion, attain goals, improve their lives, stretch themselves beyond what they had imagined - to Aspire Higher.
"I am excited about the Aspire Higher campaign," said Dottie King, Ph.D., president of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College. "It positions us as an engaging, inspiring and bold institution. It also builds a broad understanding of and support for The Woods in the community and the state."
For 173 years, the College has delivered a unique and powerful brand experience than melds intellect and spirituality. The effort is aimed at expanding awareness and understanding of this experience.
"The brand initiative is set to elevate the perception of The Woods and communicate its relevance in an extremely competitive higher education marketplace," said Dee Reed, SMWC's executive director of college relations. "We believe Aspire Higher will create a new attitude and energy in how we express who we are," Reed added.
The campaign will include a series of engaging television and radio spots, print and online ads, social media and billboards around Terre Haute.

dragonsqrrl - Friday, August 29, 2014 - linkI've heard that the new models also have a "faster CPU", but I haven't been able to find any additional information on it. Brandon, have you heard anything about this, and if so do you know anything about how it's "faster"? Is it simply clocked higher?
This looks like a strange hardware update from Nintendo. It's almost like an intermediary console between the 3DS and whatever comes next. I'm pretty sure this is the first time Nintendo has ever done something like this. Usually when they do a revision (like the DS Lite) it's just a smaller/lighter formfactor with maybe a better display and battery life, but they've never increased performance. I heard there's already an exclusive title for the New 3DS that's not compatible with the original. Reply
Morpheusx3 - Friday, August 29, 2014 - linkAfter the Lite, they released the DSi, and with that, they added in a faster processor and more RAM.
While Nintendo didn't do it for anything pre-DS, it seems to be fairly standard moving forward. Reply
Morpheusx3 - Friday, August 29, 2014 - linkJust going to reply to my own comment here with an added thought.
While they haven't done the added better processors with things pre-DS, they have added new new hardware when they made the GBA SP that had a backlit screen and added the cool clamshell form factor. Reply
dragonsqrrl - Friday, August 29, 2014 - linkOh, didn't realize that. Were there any exclusive games that took advantage of the additional performance, or was that extra power primarily used for the new cameras/augmented reality features? Reply
tipoo - Friday, August 29, 2014 - linkCameras and new features. All games after its launch still ran on the old ones. Reply
tipoo - Saturday, August 30, 2014 - linkOh, looks like Xenoblade is exclusive to the new 3ds though Reply
dragonsqrrl - Saturday, August 30, 2014 - linkYa, that's what I hinted at in my first comment "I heard there's already an exclusive title for the New 3DS that's not compatible with the original." Reply
TheTurboFool - Saturday, August 30, 2014 - linkActually, there WERE exclusives, but all in the form of DSiWare. Some packaged games also made use of the camera, optionally, in the way some GB games could work as GBC games to make use of its more advanced functions. But I don't believe any packaged games were exclusive to it. Reply
lmcd - Saturday, August 30, 2014 - linkActually even more than that though: some games managed to stick to better framerates, and Pokémon Black and White (among others?) implemented support for the newer DSi Wireless API (WPA2 ftw). Reply
WitherFire - Wednesday, November 05, 2014 - linkThe new smash bros game still works with theoriginal but it was originally meant for the new Reply
Vash63 - Saturday, August 30, 2014 - linkThis is debateably accurate. I'd consider the Gameboy Color to be similar to the DSi or this new 3DS and it doubled the clock speed and quadroupled the RAM. Same game compatibility with a few exclusives, same screen resolution, etc. Reply
Brandon Chester - Friday, August 29, 2014 - linkNothing. Nintendo has never been very forthcoming with the specs in their consoles and I wasn't able to find anything beyond "faster" from Nintendo. Reply
ishmoo21 - Friday, August 29, 2014 - linkThere's a rumor based off of pulled code changes that the ram will be doubled
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=88509... Reply
Samus - Saturday, August 30, 2014 - linkBy faster CPU, it's probably just a higher clock of the same CPU. Yields have probably improved since initial production and they are able to clock them higher.
This is pretty common, even in the PC industry. Remember the Surface 2 Pro's that had a i5-4200U then a few months later were just replaced with i5-4300U's because Intel started having better yeilds and didn't want to make the old chip anymore.
But not to state the obvious: the CPU won't run faster in games to guarantee platform compatibility with older hardware. Such is the limitation of the console market...so the faster CPU resources will be dedicated to things like improved 3D tracking performance, faster web browsing, etc...
Obviously the additional memory can be utilized in games the same way the 4MB RDRAM upgrade for the N64 was utilized by games like Turok II and GoldenEye by running a software-developer-optimized "performance mode"
In the case of Turok II, texture filtering was turned on and texture resolution was doubled. In the case of GoldenEye, multiplayer split-screen detail was better. Many games took advantage of the extra memory BUT STILL ran fine on systems without the memory upgrade. Reply
dragonsqrrl - Saturday, August 30, 2014 - linkHard to believe how little memory those old consoles had. I guess you just had to work with what you got. So the New 3DS now has 256MB of FCRAM and 10MB of VRAM. Reply
franzeal - Saturday, August 30, 2014 - linkIt's not the size that counts, but how you use it. Reply
Ultraman1966 - Thursday, September 04, 2014 - linkTry running Win 7 on 512MB of RAM... Reply
Biggie - Wednesday, September 03, 2014 - linkIf you only have to render a 800x240 screen, you don't need that much ram. If the upgrade gives better fps on titles that would be quite welcomed. Reply
wrkingclass_hero - Saturday, August 30, 2014 - linkI believe you mean Perfect Dark, not GoldenEye. Reply
tipoo - Friday, August 29, 2014 - linkOh snap, I missed the part where it has a second analog stick (that thing is tiny!). I guess whenever the 3ds successor comes out, it will definitely have one. Reply
tipoo - Friday, August 29, 2014 - linkThough how useful is that if most 3DS games were made assuming only one stick? Reply
barleyguy - Friday, August 29, 2014 - linkThere are a significant number of games that support the "circle pad pro", which is an add-on second analog stick. I assume Nintendo will use the same protocol for this analog stick, so those games will already support it, and any future games will probably support either the add-on or the built-in.
Reminds me of the Wii Remote Plus add-on... Reply
TheTurboFool - Saturday, August 30, 2014 - linkOther articles have stated that the screen size of the LL/XL did not, in fact, increase at all; only the standard-sized unit. Also supposedly the faceplates are exclusive to the smaller unit. Reply
wintermute000 - Monday, September 01, 2014 - linkwhere is that second analogue stick? that tiny grey dot above the XYAB keys? If that's it then not sure if its going to work too well, seems smaller and less travel than even the OG PSP's craptacular stick Reply
Ron-F - Monday, September 01, 2014 - linkI wonder if we'll see many more games, except for the forthcoming Xenoblade Chronicles, to make use of the upgraded hardware. I believe that, for most part, the new specs will help to make the OS to run faster (it is currently very slow) and take care of the head tracking to improve the 3D effect. Reply

Good afternoon from the Carrier Dome. Nice game last night, huh?
Nice road trip. Nice 3-in-4. Nice back-to-backs. Are these guys not in the kind of condition they claimed to have been in when the season began? Or were they just outclassed? No doubt, the Rangers do not have the skill to match teams like Pittsburgh, not to mention teams like Tampa. They will have to outwork them, out-goalie them, out-special-teams them (not likely). They will have to play well defensively (ahem, that's 18 goals against in the last four games, and that includes the really good game in Florida).
So don't hold your breath. I don't think the Rangers are this bad, but they sure aren't nearly as good as the team that started 7-1 with special teams and defense and conditioning and goaltending.
That all said, I think you have to live with it. I really do. I understand your frustration and anger. But this is what you signed up for. You wanted to see the young kids? You have to accept it when they take their lumps. You want to complain about the veterans who've been stinking it up? That's fine. But the results are what they are, and that's at least in part due to the youth on the roster — and I wonder how much of that youth would even be here if it weren't for the salary cap situation.
You live with Michael Del Zotto's -5, which is hard to do in a game in which your team allowed six even-strength goals. You live with it.
I don't think you live with the fourth line being on the ice when Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin are feasting on your rookie defensemen and backup goalie. I don't think you live with the fact that this team has no checking presence at all, no defense-minded forwards or shut-down defensemen to deal with top-shelf opposition talent. That's another matter, though.
Here are the official game summary and event summary from the carnage.

Now i have nothing wrong wiht pygame.org, except:
new users cannot create an account and cannot hence upload their games to pygame.org for others
I have read through a ton of forums regarding this. Some people have new sites up that imitate pygame.org, but it just never took off. Others say that they are trying to buy pygame.org from the owner. I dont know. But what is the latest info regarding this. I mean this is stupid, that the only people that are allowed to upload their games to pygame.org, is those that made an account before X happened, and new accounts were disabled.
Anyone have any info regarding this?

The Rotary Club of Ilkley has revived a local business quiz.
For a number of years the local business and shop keepers of Ilkley competed annually in The Local Business Quiz for the prestigious Andrew Hartley Cup supported by Action Aid.
This year The Rotary Club of Ilkley decided to help revive the quiz and to reinstate it as an annual event in the Ilkley business calendar.
The event was organised by Ian Briggs on behalf of the Rotary Club of Ilkley who presented the Cup to the 2014 winners Allison & MacRae Architects of Burley- in-Wharfedale, who have been winners on several previous occasions in the past.
