backup disk
with no O/S disk and W7 offering to create a backup disk, I used their facility to do so. the files on it are, USER-OOO-PC -- autorun.inf -- MediaID.bin -- restore.ico. My question is, what have i got here? Are the contents just a copy of the current files (I use an USB drive to do this), can I get up and running if this thing crashes (or similar), has it got special files that would normally be found on an O/S disk? Can you offer an explanation please?

What kind of backup disk did you do? A repair disk, or A system image? A system image would be the best option.
A system image restores everything exactly like the way it was when it was taken up. Although this would not fit on a disk, so most likely you created a repair disk.
A repair disk allows you to fix some issues with windows 7 starting up and also allows you to do a system restore point when the computer refuses to start.

The disk helps to repair certain instances of files that are missing that would prevent windows from starting. One of the features is startup repair.
In any case, I would read the links I have provided in entirety, and while a repair disk is nice to have, a system image is even better. I would make a full backup using windows backup. (System image)
The links will explain everything in more detail. I would take the time to read them, unless you never store anything important on your computer that you don't mind losing.

Thanks Andrew, took your advice re system image, I remembered doing multiple discs on the old floppy drive so tried that, seemed to work, took 3 DVD-RWs over about 6 hrs but completed the task - any thoughts on that? otherwise I'll take it as successful and store them safely - think the old floppies went in last first and down to the first??? - thanks for your help

Remember to create a System Repair CD/DVD (make a couple for safety). In addition to the repair functions they are generally essential to restore a system image. You boot the CD and select the restore system image option. You should really be storing your system images on an external USB HDD.

Pima County Superior Court Judge Richard Nichols sentenced three men to prison for a home invasion in December 2012.
Ricardo Beltran-Leon, 39, Juan Daniel Garcia, 28, and Elizar Lugo-Achoa, 37, all pleaded guilty to three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. All three received the same sentence of seven and a half years in prison on each count with the terms to be served concurrently.
"This was a very violent and dangerous offense," Nichols told Garcia.
The men were accused of kicking down the door of a home on the 2800 block of East Paseo La Tierra Buena and attempting to enter and rob the four residents of cash and other valuables.
The original indictment included 16 counts, including burglary, fleeing from law enforcement and kidnapping.
Nichols agreed last week to postpone sentencing for a week when Lugo-Achoa's defense attorney, Richard B. Jones, brought up the possibility that the victims were not randomly selected, but rather chosen because one may have owed a drug debt to the people who hired the men to carry out the home invasion.
Nichols said verification of such a fact would influence his sentencing decision, noting it would show whether the defendants were a general danger to the community or if the crime was specifically targeted.
"I understand that the court is concerned that this was a drug rip," Deputy Pima County Attorney Lindsay St. John said Monday.
St. John said she had spoken to detectives who investigated the case, and they were uncertain whether the victims also were involved in criminal activity.
Police had suspicions that the son of the homeowners might be involved in drug sales, St. John said.
The father also may have some legal issues, St. John said, adding he was named on an Arizona Attorney General's indictment in a pending case.
But such uncertainties about the victims shouldn't diminish the nature of the crime, she argued.
"The fact is that three men kicked down a door and came in with guns in hand," St. John said.
Nichols said at the sentencing he thought the crime likely was not a random act.
Attorneys for all three defendants asked for some leniency, saying their clients were hired hands and not the masterminds of the crime.
After they complete their prison sentences, Lugo-Achoa and Beltran-Leon also will be deported to their native Mexico.

Portis unlikely to play, Betts should return
Adam Rank | Tags: Clinton Portis, Ladell Betts, Washington Redskins
Redskins running back Clinton Portis is unlikely to play on Sunday. Instead the team will look to Dr. Do Itch Big to carry the load against the Cowboys. Seriously, are the Redskins required to put Portis' alter-egos on the injury report, too?
That would certainly be a new level of gamesmanship in this heated rivalry if Jim Zorn stood at the podium and deadpanned, "Hey, I knew Clinton wasn't going to play, but Bud Foxx said he was good to go."
Redskins running back Ladell Betts should be ready to start against the Cowboys. Betts returned to practice on Thursday after missing the last three games. Betts would be a risky start, even though the Cowboys are near the middle of the pack in rushing defense. This will be the first live-game action for Betts, who also figures to give some carries away to Shaun Alexander.
Proceed with caution, and look for some other opportunities.

I absolutely do not want the vertical scar from a lift. would implnts alone look ok? or is there another option in my situation? circumareola lift? high profile, larger implant?
I Was Wondering if You Areola is Above the Crease Line? Could I Get Away with Just Implants W/o a Lift? (photo)
Doctor Answers 11
Lift or just implants?
Depending on what your goals are, you could go with just implants. They would provide fullness in the upper area of your breast and increase the size. I find that the best way to determine the size implant is to try them in a bra and then put a form fitting shirt on too. That will give you an idea as to what you would look like with that size implant. Just an implant, however, will not raise the nipple. So if you are happy with that--and your nipple is actually in a fairly normal position for larger breasts--then by all means go with an implant. And wear a good supporting bra to minimize the effects of gravity. A lift will reposition the nipple and areola higher, but at the expense of scars. In my experience, a circumareolar lift does leave noticeable scars and can make the shape of the breast less natural. You would need to see a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery to discuss your options. Good luck to you.
I Was Wondering if You Areola is Above the Crease Line? Could I Get Away with Just Implants W/o a Lift? (photo)
Yes but you would need a very large implant like in the 450 to 500 cc range. Seek in person evaluations.
Breast lift or implants
You are borderline as far as needing a lift done. You could certainly undergo just implants at this time, but Imwould caution you against going too large, as this could accelerate the saggingand probably also cause your areola to stretch out. The lift could always be done as a secondary surgery if you feel you need it, but a vertical lift would still be the best choice. If you undergo a periareoar lift only, your areolae will really get stretched out a lot. Good luck!

Augmentation without lift in Grade 1 ptosis
Thanks for the inquiry and the great pictures. If you were my patient I would let you consider an augmentation without a lift BUT with the warning you would have a droopier look. To have the best result I would reccomend that you get a peri-areolar lift. Good luck.
Lift or implants
I think based solely on your photos, you may be a good candidate for an implant and circumareola lift. Of course, an exam in person would be beneficial.
Breast Lifting Necessary?
Thank you for the question and pictures.
Your breasts are in a somewhat "borderline" position when it comes to the necessity for breast lifting. In other words, it is possible that you will get away without a breast lift, depending on your goals. It would be in your best interests to achieve a long-term stable weight (if not there already) prior to undergoing the breast procedure.
I would suggest in person consultation with board-certified plastic surgeons for more precise advice.
Best wishes.

Likely some lift indicated
Plastic surgeons always try to accomplish the best result with as minimal scarring as possible. Your photos seem to show a very minor degree of nipple ptosis (grade 1 of 3 at the most, the nipple close to the level of the fold), but moderate pseudoptosis especially on the left (the lower breast resting on the lower chest wall).
Therefore, an implant with a minimal scar lift (circumareolar) should yield a nice result without the need for a more major lift as with a vertical or "lollipop" scar. Your areolae are somewhat wide and this type of lift can also help to decrease that diameter a bit.
A higher profile implant is always better to improve mild droopiness but be cautious about too large an implant which can lead to stretching of the tissues and recurrent droopiness.

Mastopexy with Implant?
Thank you for the pictures. From the views you have provided you certainly seem to be a candidate for a periareolar mastopexy with implant. However this will be dependent on the size of implant placed. In other words, what cup size are you willing to accept post operatively? You would also benefit from having the implant placed in a dual, sub muscular plane.
Having said that, you need an in-person examination by a board certified plastic surgeon for a more detailed and accurate opinion. Opinions rendered from a picture, over the internet, without the ability to talk to the patient are less than adequate.
Good luck.
Could I Get Away with Just Implants W/o a Lift?
From what I am looking at in your photos, your breasts are rather low on the chest wall (and that is a "normal" variant and isn't something that can be changed) and the nipple and areola are borderline low.
Some women with low areolae really need a lift if they want implants. I don't think you are in that category. Unless you think your areolae are too low, you do not need to have a lift if you get implants.
If you were to decide that a lift is what you want, a circumareolar lift should suffice.
Thanks for your question and for the photos. Best wishes.
Breast implants without a breast lift
Thank you for your question. From your photographs the answer to your question is yes you can simply have breast augmentation without a lift. However if following your breast augmentation at 6 months the nipples look too low you can consider a breast lift at that time. For a discussion on breast lift please see the link below.

Beautiful shoes
By SC Styler
from SC
About Me Classic Dresser
These pumps are beautiful, I just wish they fit properly. Size 12 isn't available in half sizes so it's the biggest size the shoes come in, but they don't quite seem true to size. Normally, 12 works great for me but these are a bit tight across toe bed. Will keep them and attempt to stretch toe bed via the "potato trick." Wish me luck.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comfortable and Beautiful Pumps
By shoeaddict
from Decatur, GA
I bought these pumps to wear at a Summer wedding. I plan on wearing them to the office throughout the year as they are a great beige color and will go with anything. I have wide feet and the (D) size fit perfectly. These pumps are bit more comfortable and easier on my feet due to the fact they have a rubbery base underneath the ball of the foot.

I sought to purchase a genuine leather shoe; therefore, when I read the description I was glad, even though I spent far more than my norm. Imagine my disappointment when I read that they were "quality manmade materials! Bummer. I felt it as soon as I put them on. I know that eventually, they would've cut my foot. Oh well, back they go.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Improving Early Childhood Development
Why This Focus?
Dr. Ross Thompson, Professor of Psychology, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, NE.
Much of a child's physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development occurs from birth to age five. A focus on the science of early brain development in recent years has given us a better understanding of the importance of early experiences and relationships to a child's development.
The sentinel work, From Neurons to Neighborhoods: The Science of Early Childhood Development, provides compelling evidence that early experiences influence brain development.
As described by Dr. Thompson, nurturing early brain development requires a comprehensive approach of prevention and early intervention strategies, targeted at both parents and children. A growing emphasis on school readiness requires a focus on how children feel as much as on how they think. Their social, emotional, and mental health and the environment in which they live form the basis for their readiness to learn.

We know him as DOOL's Hospital Administrator Doctor Craig Wesley, husband to Nancy, stepdad to Chloe, but for the next three weeks, Kevin Spirtas is also, the charming and demanding Baron De Varille in the Pacific Resident Theatre's workshop production of No. 9, Rue d'Antin. Spirtas stars along with Port Charles ex Claire, Linda Purl, who has the leading role of this musical based on the Alexander Dumas novel La Dame Aux Camellias. The theater is an intimate 99-seat venue in Venice, CA (see below for ticket information), and we had the pleasure of seeing Spirtas and Purl debut opening night. It's not a play for 18 and under, as it deals with some racy content. But the opportunity to see Dr. Wesley in a song and dance role is one I highly recommend. But hurry! The play is only running for the next three weeks! Stay tuned to Turtle-Run for our feature story on Kevin as the Baron coming soon!
Speaking of NBC and ABC stars joining forces, NBC is about to piggyback on ABC's Super Soap Weekend this year!
NBC Daytime, in association with Universal Orlando, is inviting fans of the top-rated daytime dramas Days of our Lives and Passions to the first-ever NBC Soap FanFest to be held at Universal Orlandos Islands of Adventure theme park in Orlando, Florida on Saturday and Sunday, November 11-12, 2000, the same days as ABC's Super Soap Weekend which is taking place in adjacent Walt Disney World, Orlando!
Admission to NBC Soap FanFest will be included as part of either days admission to Islands of Adventure. Fans will be able to meet and mingle with more than 30 of their favorite NBC soap stars at the two-day event. Participants in NBC Soap FanFest will have the opportunity to secure their favorite stars autograph, ask questions during the Q&A sessions and possibly have a chance to act out a scene with a soap star at one of Islands of Adventures five dramatically themed islands. A highlight of the weekend will be the official Days of our Lives 35th Anniversary party, hosted by NBC and Universal Orlando for the fans at the Parks Toon Amphitheater
NBC Soap FanFest is the first event of its kind in the history of NBC Daytime. Among the stars from Days of our Lives attending the event will be: Deidre Hall, Drake Hogestyn, Kristian Alfonso, Peter Reckell, Austin Peck and Alison Sweeney. Stars from Passions attending NBC Soap FanFest will include: McKenzie Westmore, Galen Gering, Travis Schuldt, Lindsay Korman, Juliet Mills, Jesse Metcalfe, Donn Swaby and Brook Kerr.
We are delighted to give the fans of Days of Our Lives and Passions this unprecedented opportunity to meet the stars of their favorite daytime dramas, said Sheraton Kalouria, Senior Vice President, NBC Daytime Programs. Our partnership with Universal Orlando allows us to hold this event at Islands of Adventure, a venue as exciting and dynamic as the shows themselves. Interestingly, before coming to NBC Daytime, Kalouria worked for ABC Daytime and was the marketing mastermind behind the creation of Super Soap Weekend. Accordiing to Kalouria, the NBC event is meant not to compete with SSW, but to enhance the experience for soap fans. Market research proves that many soap fans watch shows on both networks.
The Universal Orlando resort destination (www.uescape.com) includes two spectacularly themed adjacent theme parks, the Universal Studios motion picture and television theme park and Islands of Adventure, the most technologically advanced theme park ever created. Universal Orlando also includes CityWalk, a 30-acre dining, shopping, club and live-entertainment venue, as well as premier on-site Loews hotels and world-class film and television production facilities.
Soap Opera Digest, in cooperation with NBC and Universal Orlando, will offer two lucky soap fans the chance to win a trip to NBC Soap FanFest through a national sweepstakes. Entry forms for the contest will be located in Soap Opera Digest magazines on sale from August 28 to September 11, 2000.
More information about NBC Soap FanFest will be available at the official NBC Daytime website at nbc.com/daytime beginning August 29.
Letters to the Editor!Do you know if Jack and Carly (ATWT) will reunite in the near future? Shawnee
Anything is possible. One thing is for sure. Stay tuned this week! Carly is not about to let the man of her dreams walk down the aisle with someone else.
(I read that) Passions has been talking about casting Antonio Lopez Fitzgerald. I have found the perfect person that is his name is Victor Webster. He played Nicholas Alamain on Days of Our Lives. He is perfect! He is hot, hot and he could pass for the hot brothers of Luis and Miguel. Just a thought. Could you pass it a long? For some reason JAMES E RIELLY LIKES MODELS AND Webster was. Not to mention he is talented. Trust me. We need more viewers to go to #1. This is it!
Thanks for the casting suggestion! Victor Webster is missed on Days of Our Lives and could certainly bring a new dynamic to the Lopez-Fitzgerald family on Passions! From your keyboard to James Reilly's ears! :o)
On Turtle-Run, it states that Taylor Anne Mountz (Kay) has left Passions temporarily due to health issues, but at other locations on the web it states that she has left Passions permanently to attend college. Is that just a rumor, or is there any truth to it? Can you clarify this for me? Thanks.
The official word from NBC Daytime concerning Taylor Anne Mountz is that she is still under contract with NBC. However, Deanna Wright has joined the cast of Passions in the role of Kay Bennett. Deanna's first airdate as Kay is Monday, September 25, 2000!
How old is Maureen Garrett?
Maureen Garret (Holly, GL) was born August 18, 1948.
Thought you would enjoy reading this post! Everytime David (ATWT) manages to show up...there's a fan that will express feelings about Daniel Markel(ex David)! Two years later, new career and the man is still in their hearts! It was a huge mistake, firing Daniel...any intelligent ATWT fan knows... there was more to the reason than storyline purpose! I will never forgive or forget what the powers did to this kid.
<<You all remember when David was first introduced on the show he was a straight arrow, self-righteous, Dudly Do Right D.A. A fine, upstanding citizen. Then he found out that he was James' son and suddenly, for no apparent reason, began to become evil. It was soooo pointless and such an unnecessary assassination of a great character not to mention firing one of the best actors in daytime!! (I'm still in mourning over the loss of Daniel Markel) I think a much more interesting take on the whole James' son thing would have been if David stayed squeaky clean in spite of his father's attempts to bring him over to the dark side. They should have left his character alone, let him fall in love, have a family & become even more self-righteous than Tom Hughes. Our town needs all the upstanding citizens it can get!!

And then, via email she continues: I'll never get over Daniel's firing and now that he's left acting, none of us can enjoy him in anything else. It's a cryin' shame. :'-(
La Fajita
It certainly is a wonderful testament to the work of Daniel Markel that several years after he has left ATWT, fans still miss him. He left an impact on the hearts of many, and that is fantastic. His tenure on ATWT was before my time watching the show, and I regret that I never got to see him work. Who knows. One day he may tire of the corporate business world and return to the cameras. We can only hope!
When Another World ended, did any characters managed to cross over to other soaps? I was under the impression that Jake and Vicky went to another show together, as did Linda Dano's character. Where are they now?
When Another World first ended, four actors, Tom Elpin, Jensen Buchanan, Stephen Schetzner, and Lisa Peluso all crossed over to As the World Turns. Tom Elpin (Jake) is the only one who still remains on ATWT. Linda Dano switched from NBC to ABC in an unprecedented marketing move, and starred on all four ABC soap operas, beginning with One Life to Live, then to All My Children, then General Hospital and Port Charles. Dano took her character, Rae Cummings, on a quest to find her estranged husband and daughter. She is now back on One Life to Live, where her character is embroiled in a front-burner storyline.For an in-depth recap of all the Another World actors and where they are now, get a copy of Soap Opera Weekly, issue 27, publication date, July 4, 2000.

THIS WEEK FOR THE WAVES: The Waves are set to open the 2012 season, the 73rd baseball season in Pepperdine history. The team will open with a three-game homestand as they host No. 14 Oklahoma from Feb. 17-19. The will then return to host VCU on Feb. 21 and 22. The Waves open the season with nine games in the friendly confines of Eddy D. Field Stadium.
THE 2012 PEPPERDINE WAVES: This season the Waves boast a strong mix of returners and new faces. The Waves return the entire infield, a strong pitching core led by junior righthander Jon Moscot and sophomore righty Scott Frazier. The team now has a strong pen to close out games with freshman lefty Aaron Brown and sophomore Michael Swanner. The Waves are versatile in the outfield, as they can go with experience led by Tony Cooper, David DiPaola and Ryan Van Amburg, or youth with the likes of freshmen Brown and Matt Gelalich.
OKLAHOMA SOONERS: This is just the second meeting in the series between OU and Pepperdine. The last time the two programs met was in the 1988 NCAA Tournament in Tempe, Ariz., where the Waves defeated the Sooners 10-1.
SCOUTING THE SOONERS: The Sooners return 15 letterwinners and seven starters (five position players, two pitchers) from the 2011 team. Joining the returners is a strong recruiting class of 21 players, that was ranked No. 4 by Collegiate Baseball. The team is led by senior shortstop Caleb Bushyhead, who is one of three three-year starters returning (Cody Reine and Max White). He was a quarterfinalist for the 2010 Brooks Wallace Award (nation's top shortstop). OU is ranked as high as No. 14 by the NCBWA in their preseason poll. They are picked to finish third in the Big 12 according to a vote of their coaches in the preseason poll. Last year they went 41-19 overall and were 14-11 in Big 12 play.
PRESEASON ALL-WCC: For the second-straight season junior infielder Joe Severwas named an All-WCC preseason selection. Sever is coming off a 2011 season where he was named All-WCC for the first time in his career. He started all 55 games for the Waves as a sophomore and batted .279, with 32 RBI and six home runs.
PRESEASON WCC POLL: The Waves garnered 30 points in a vote by the conference coaches and are picked to finish tied for fifth with Saint Mary's. San Diego 59 points and is picked to win the conference.
FRESHMEN PHENOMS: The Waves boast the 16th-best recruiting class according to Baseball America. The group of 12 incoming freshmen is highlighted by pitcher/outfielder Aaron Brown and infielder Austin Davidson. Both Brown and Davidson were drafted in the 17th and 21st rounds of the 2011 MLB draft, but chose to attend Pepperdine. Key freshmen also include catchers James Grandpre and Kolten Yamaguchi that will see significant playing time behind the dish. Matt Forgatch, a redshirt senior transfer from Division II Denison University will vie for a spot in the outfield and brings valuable experience to the Waves.
SUMMER BALL: The Waves spread out across the country to play for summer ball teams from the Cape Cod League to Hawai'i. Junior pitcher Jon Moscot led the Hyannis Harbor Hawks with 46 strikeouts, second-best in the league. Junior infielder Zach Vincej also played with Moscot in Hyannis and helped the team to the Western Division semifinals. Junior Joe Sever also played in the Cape, as he suited up for the Chatham Anglers. He was named a top prospect by Perfect Game USA. Freshman outfielder/pitcher Aaron Brown was named the No. 3 prospect out of the California Collegiate League and was also named the Best Athlete in the league by Perfect Game USA. He hit .303 with seven home runs, 10 doubles and 28 RBI for the Glendale Angelenos. He earned first team All-CCL honors and was named theCCL's Top MLB Hitting Prospect. Senior Miles Silversteinwas also named to the NBC All-Midwest Regional team as he played for the El Dorado (Kan.) Broncos in the Jayhawak League.

When Juston Seyfert and his pet/friend Sentinel showed up in the pages of Avengers Academy after Fear Itself, fans of the late, lamented series Sentinel: Salvage were eager to see an issue focusing on the pair. In the last arc which featured a conflict with X-kids thanks to Avengers vs. X-Men, the fact that a former mutant-hunting death machine is a casual campus presence became an issue. In Avengers Academy #32, that issue comes to a head.
X-23, who's kind of becoming the book's main character for the duration of AvX, at least, tells Seyfert his machine must be destroyed, but the young man makes a compelling argument against it, although he admits he wasn't completely able to wipe out its anti-mutant programming. Instead, he just buried that mission under plenty of other, contradictory directives of a higher priority. Thus, the fact that it occasionally blurts out "Destroy all mutants!" is a cute glitch rather than an actual threat. "Just like a parrot saying a bad word it overheard," he explains. Like the racist parrot from Happy Endings.
Of course, this is another AvX tie-in, and the fact that over in AvX #6, the Scotty Jive and the Phoenix Five are transforming the entire planet into Pax Utopia includes Emma Frost ridding the world of Sentinels, and her last stop is Avengers Academy to smelt our adorable giant robot friend. Any arguments to the contrary are not helped by A.) Emma Frost being an all-powerful being who doesn't have to listen to anybody or B.) the fact that the Sentinel flips out in the presence of an Omega Level Mutant threat and goes into attack mode (after making sure to get the students out of harm's way first). Seyfert virulently protests the notion of erasing his pet-bot's mind in order to eliminate that pesky anti-mutant programming, and that winds up putting the entire student body in conflict with the former White Queen's New World Order.
Writer Christos Gage does an admirable job making us find a big purple murder-bot cuddly and lovable, and reminding us that the AA is a place run by Hank Pym, and thus it's a place where artificial intelligence is given a lot more credence as legitimate life than most other places would. New artist Timothy Green II, however, is very hit and miss. He manages to score with a few slickly rendered panels, but he most definitely suffers a bit from Liefeld-Mouth and some icky distended faces, which is not a good sign. However, he's solid enough that we can assume he'll get better and not stagnate like the man for whom that disease is named.
WIth Avengers vs. X-Men taking an interesting turn, Avengers Academy #32 takes a step back from lightly satirizing the entire concept and brings us a small-scale personal conflict that certainly serves to illustrate the much larger issue about the Phoenix Five being the absolute arbiters of right and wrong for the entire world. Gage has proven wonderful at this sort of thing, and as always, we look forward to the next issue.

In The Wake Of San Diego Comic-Con 2016, Has DC Now Gone "Full Marvel"?
(Warning: The following contains mild potential SPOILERS for future movies and TV shows in the DC and Marvel on-screen universes. Proceed with whatever level of caution that suggests to you is wise…)
Now, with this year's San Diego Comic-Con having been packed to the point of bursting with , and , it's perhaps not too surprising that much of the discussion in its wake has centered around DC and Marvel's on-screen worlds. As it turns out, though, a whole lot of that debate has centered less on just how awesome the companies' upcoming projects look, and more on .
So much so, in fact, that one of the biggest questions to make its way around the 'Con was:
In The Wake Of Its San Diego Comic-Con 2016 Reveals, Has DC Now Gone 'Full Marvel'?
After all, pretty much every revelation Warner Bros. and DC dropped during Comic-Con seemed pointedly designed to shift the DC Extended Universe's focus and style away from the unremitting darkness of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and towards something a little more akin to the MCU's lighter touch. From a pointedly light-hearted (and thus widely described as Guardians of the Galaxy-like) Suicide Squad trailer…
…via a genre-defying (but inevitably somewhat Captain America: The First Avenger-like) trailer for Wonder Woman…
…all the way through to a notably gag filled, Avengers-like Justice League trailer…
…Warner Bros.' DC-themed presentation at SDCC seemed designed to fundamentally reorient the DCEU along far more Marvel-like lines. With the emphasis apparently no longer on psychological tension and existential turmoil (as in Man of Steel and Batman v Superman), DC's upcoming movies instead seem set to take a substantial leaf out of Marvel's book, and to head in a more light-hearted and conventionally 'fan-pleasing' direction.
Heck, even DC's shows look set to head in a Marvel-wards direction, with new addition to the Legends of Tomorrow cast, Nick Zano, revealing in a roundtable interview that:
"I'm going to play him [his character, Nathan Heywood, a.k.a. Citizen Steel] with a 'Stark-ism', y'know what I mean? Not full Stark, but like a little bit."
With even DC's television actors taking performance-related cues from Marvel, then, is it then fair to say that DC has, in fact, now gone 'full Marvel'?
Well, perhaps. Here's the thing, though:
It Seems Likely That DC's Upcoming Movies Will Actually Tread Their Own Distinct Paths
Or, in other words – while the current crop of DC trailers may seem distinctly Marvel-like in tone, it still seems probable that the final films will remain notably DCEU-like in many ways. Suicide Squad, for instance, will likely be off-the-wall in a Guardians of the Galaxy-like fashion, but will almost certainly bring a visceral, violent, approach along with it that will stand in stark contrast to the MCU's gentler offerings. Similarly, Wonder Woman will likely spend more time breaking new ground with its female lead (something Marvel is yet to bring to the screen) and World War One setting than it will retreading Captain America: The First Avenger.
Even Justice League, which hadn't yet begun filming when the ever-so-serious Batman v Superman debuted to both a critical mauling and a tepid fan-response, may not ultimately prove to be as 'Marvel-like' as its recently revealed trailer seems to suggest. After all, though a recent visit to its set , with The Flash's role as comic relief pushed front and center, this is still a Zack Snyder film we're talking about. It may well be lighter, and less grumpily serious than Batman v Superman, but that doesn't mean that it'll be a carbon copy of Marvel's bright, colorful and kid-friendly output. Instead, it may prove to be something of a hybrid – a more serious take on superhero-ing than the MCU's, but a less determinedly grim one than Batman v Superman and Man of Steel's.
Which, in terms of pleasing both those fans who loved Batman v Superman for its darker approach, and those who hated it for lacking any overt sense of fun, might well prove to be the perfect approach – and offer DC a route to its own hyper-successful, Marvel-matching superhero style.
Or, y'know, Snyder might have Superman bludgeon Batman to death with The Flash's newly-ripped off legs, showering the rest of the Justice League in his puny human blood, and the tears of millions of fans. We likely won't know for sure until November 2017…
What do you reckon, though?

REWORK – Missed You At L EP
[Items & Things: IT034]
Beatport: btprt.dj/20gmb4c
iTunes: apple.co/1LGS6mD
It's been nearly two years since Rework last appeared on Items & Things with their stunning 'Blackout' EP, but the wait is over as they return bearing their trademark sound and unassailable attitude on their new 'Missed You At L EP.
Equal parts acid, techno, punk rock, and house, the EP covers a lot of ground in four compelling tracks. Kicking things off is the title track from the EP and it sees the trio stepping back into the sound of their Playhouse days using a never ending vocal loop, lush pad sweeps, and playful stabs laid over energetic, agile drums. Quickly flipping the script, 'Dry Acid' takes a turn into the more 'ghetto' side of techno, relentlessly pushing the groove with an attitude fueled ride of pitched toms and nimble percussion. 'Don't Make Me Cry' is the high octane tune of the EP and clearly has the most sinister demeanor using a quintessential Rework vocal treatment and rapid percussion to take things to the peak. Closing things out is 'French Candy' and the EP comes full circle returning to a sound resembling what Rework is best known for lighthearted and energetic dance floor jams with a deliberate touch of sincerity.
Welcome back, Rework. It's good to hear you again!

What began in 1913 as a collection of privately owned amusement attractions above Ocean Beach, quickly became one of SF's signature destinations after the ride owners combined forces under George Whitney. It was named "Playland at the Beach," and at its peak in the 1930s and 40s, the park encompassed three blocks, had 14 rides, and was owned and operated in conjunction with The Cliff House and Sutro Baths.
In 1946 the "Jennings' Giant Camera" was constructed by Floyd Jennings and became the newest addition to Playland. Shaped like a giant camera the size of a one-room cabin, the "camera" allows visitors to step inside and see a 360-degree view of outside. Quirky and not completely logical (why wouldn't you just LOOK outside?), it was the crowning addition to Whitney's Ocean Beach empire.
Sadly, Playland was closed in the 1972 to make way for condo construction, just few years after the Sutro Baths burned down in 1966. But luckily for us, the Camera Obscura was saved and relocated next to the Cliff House for posterity.
Admission will set you back $3, but the reflection of the waves inside the camera is worth every penny for a history-loving San Franciscan. Happy exploring!

A young boy was rescued from a stranded boat on the upper Sacramento River Thursday by a Tehama County Sheriff's Patrol Boat.
Ramon Moreno Viveros, 27, of Red Bluff, and his son were boating upstream from the Lake California community when the boat got stranded with his son inside about 1:30 p.m.
The boat had lost power and began to drift, a sheriff's press release said. Viveros tried to paddle toward the shore, but the boat drifted into faster water and began to rock back and forth.
An anchor got knocked into the water due to the rocking.
Viveros stood to retrieve the anchor but before he could, it caught on the river bottom and stopped the boat suddenly.
Viveros was thrown from the boat, leaving his son behind, the release said.
The water swept Viveros away from his son and the stranded boat, but he managed to swim to shore and call for help, the release said.
A California Highway Patrol helicopter lowered an officer on to the boat to stay with the boy until a Sheriff's Patrol Boat could arrive, the release said.
The officer and the boy were delivered safely to shore. Then the Patrol Boat towed the stranded boat to the launch ramp at the Jelly's Ferry Bridge.

Police On My Back
Is the Costa Mesa Police Department, in its zeal to protect the public, slandering OC bands by branding them "Nazis" or "skinheads" when they're nothing of the kind?
That's the question in the wake of a canceled July 10 show by local punkers U.S. Bombs. The band was set to play a record-release party for the group's latest disc, The World, at Kona Lanes, a Harbor Boulevard bowling alley. Tickets had been sold for the all-ages show, and everything seemed in order—until July 7. That's when Costa Mesa police Sergeant Clay Epperson approached Kona Lanes management and told them the show could not go on. The reason: Epperson allegedly asserted that U.S. Bombs is a Nazi band, citing as evidence an event flier depicting a shaven-headed, skanking youth. Epperson also told promoters they didn't have the right permits, and the show was pulled.
Scott Tucker, the promoter who booked the U.S. Bombs show at Kona Lanes, admits he may not have had his paperwork in order, but, he says, he had booked shows at the venue last summer under the exact same permits, and there had never been any problems with police before. He says the cancellation cost him and U.S. Bombs about $4,000, as well as a Muffs gig that had to be moved.
Tucker says he eventually contacted Epperson in an effort to get to the bottom of things.

"The first thing he asked me was, 'Do [U.S. Bombs] have a Nazi following?' I said they didn't," says Tucker, who is Jewish. "Then he said he had one of our fliers advertising the show and that it depicted a Nazi skinhead on it. It was really just a generic bald guy skanking. I told him that if he was targeting everyone with a shaved head, that would make a lot of cops and military guys Nazis. He really didn't like that."
Tucker says Epperson then claimed the promoter hadn't hired enough security for the show, to which Tucker replied that he had hired 10 men from a licensed and bonded agency. Tucker says Epperson then told him he didn't have the proper permits, that he had spoken to the owner of Kona Lanes, "and your show is canceled, so it's a moot point, anyway."
According to Tucker, Epperson also charged that the band had "wrecked" Club Mesa the last time they played there. But Craig McGahey, who promotes shows at Club Mesa, denies any problems with U.S. Bombs or their fans.
Epperson denies Tucker's version of events and says the show was canceled simply because of invalid permits. "This had nothing to do with [U.S. Bombs'] music," Epperson says. Representatives from Kona Lanes refused to comment.
Costa Mesa police have a long history of clashes with punkers, stretching back to the late '70s, when officers were frequently called to separate punks from the Cuckoo's Nest and shitkickers from the country bar next door. Eventually, city officials closed the Cuckoo's Nest, running punk rock out of town.
Serious brawls between punk fans and Nazi skinheads aren't unheard of, but the last serious incident was a December 1994 stabbing at a Vandals show at the long-since-shuttered Ice House in Fullerton.
Though the punk scene is calmer now, municipalities remain vigilant. "Cops are in here all the time," says McGahey. "They were in here during the Fear show. They check our permits constantly. This lady cop comes in here all the time and says that we're her 'project.' She also seems to know what's going on around town, asking if we're expecting crowds after the Offspring show or after the Warped tour gets out." Just a week before the scheduled U.S. Bombs show, Costa Mesa police were reportedly in Club Mesa asking if another local punk group, the Pushers, were a Nazi/skinhead band (they're not).
Though this may seem like blatant harassment—and some Club Mesa regulars are certain it is—McGahey stresses that he doesn't feel that way, that it's just part of a cop's job.
But other police departments seem to have different approaches when it comes to the club scene. While Anaheim cops have largely steered clear of the hardcore and krusty-punk shows Chain Reaction has hosted in its nearly two-year history, and Fullerton police don't appear to have any problems with the newly reopened Backalley, workers at the diversely booked Koo's Art Cafe in Santa Ana have said undercover cops used to frequent their club, keeping an eye on things, though not any time recently.
U.S. Bombs, meanwhile, have moved beyond the "Nazi" branding incident and seem content with just getting out on the road to push the new album. "I don't know where that [Nazi-band charge] comes from," says bassist Wade Walston. "Our guitar player, Kerry Martinez, is Mexican. I think they just used the word 'Nazi' as a scare tactic, as a weapon to shut the show down without any basis. I don't know what right they have to do that. There was security at the show, and if there had been fights, they would have been stopped. I don't think they really want any [all-ages] shows in Costa Mesa, which is too bad for the kids and parents. They need a place to go."
"Punk's always been about unity," says U.S. Bombs singer Duane Peters. "We got two different races in the band, but there's so much racial paranoia out there you don't know what's going on. There's so much crap you gotta blow off."

Accrington manager James Beattie spoke of his pride after watching his side boost their chances of survival with a 1-0 win at Exeter.
Kayode Odejayi bundled home the only goal of a dour game on the stroke of half time from Lee Molyneux's corner kick to inflict a 10th home defeat of the season on Exeter.
"The players may surprise a lot of people but they don't surprise me," he said. "They never know when to lie down and stop and they are a tremendous bunch. They make me very proud to be their manager.
"I thought the goal was a great finish. I have told him [Odejayi] he has done some excellent work outside the box and he has got to get himself between the sticks. That is what he has done. It is not a pretty goal but it secured us an important three points.
"This wasn't a spectacle and both sides struggled to play on the pitch. The players make me smile and make me proud and they were tremendous. They were running on empty but they still kept running.
"But they are doing themselves and the club proud."

This tintype photo of Billy the Kid, created around 1880, was just sold for $2.3 million in June 2011. Was it because the picture was taken by a famous photographer? Maybe the famous Civil War photographer Mathew Brady? No, this tintype photo sold for $2.3 million because of the cult of personality of one of the most famous Wild West outlaws of all time. Plus, this tintype is the only surviving photograph of Billy the Kid. The combination of the rarity and the cult of personality compound each other to create a photo of exceptional worth.
Two questions occur to me. What is a tintype photo? And why is Billy the Kid so famous?
In a tintype, a very underexposed negative image is produced on a collodion photographic emulsion, and mounted against a dark metal backing, giving it the appearance of a positive.
The process was very similar to wet-plate photography, where silver halide crystals (silver bromide, silver chloride and silver iodide) are suspended in a collodion emulsion that is chemically reduced to crystals of metallic silver that vary in density, according to the original light values of the original image.
The negative had more detail because it was very underexposed—allowing the photographer (tintypist) to shoot almost three shutter speeds faster than other processes of the day. The tintypist's shorter exposure time was a great advantage in portraiture.
The fact is that the tintype photo process was, in many ways, the Polaroid of the 19th century.
Four reasons why the tintype was like a Polaroid:
1. Very fast process – not a minute like the Polaroid, but it took only around ten minutes. After the less-than-two-minute exposure, the film would be processed, then glued to a black metal plate while the negative was still wet.
2. The cost of the photo was relatively low compared to the daguerreotype of the day. Billy the Kid paid $1.00 for 4 tintypes. (One dollar was like $25.00 in today's currency).
3. Tintypes were produced by using the actual negatives. Just as with a Polaroid, you couldn't make a print .This was what also made the tintype so unique; only one existed.
4. The process was very archival, because it was the original negative material. The Billy the Kid tintype is 130 years old, and still retains detail.
One downside that some think kept the tintype in the world of carnival, not making it to the fancy studio, was that the image was backwards.
An innocent customer would pose for the picture, get the image in 10 minutes, pay the 25 cents, then by the time the tintype wagon was gone down the road, the customer would discover the reversal of the image and say, "Where is that tintypist, I want my picture reversed, or I want my money back."
In fact, almost all history books said that Billy the Kid was a lefty, because this famous image was reversed—his six-shooter appears to be in his left hand.
By the time the Civil War began, the tintype photo process was the standard quick and inexpensive way to get a portrait. A tintypist would pull up to a traveling carnival, a town fair, or to the outskirts of an army base. Millions of soldiers in the 1860s went to these portable photo studios pulled by horses, to sit for a tintype portrait to send home. The families of these soldiers proudly exhibited the pictures on their mantles, hoping and praying that their sons would someday return. Unfortunately, many of these soldiers did not come back.
A tintypist could get into the business for a small investment, and the photos were affordable by the common folk. Of course, the quality of the photos varied greatly, depending on the skill and experience of the tintypist.
Which brings me back to the $2.3 million Billy the Kid tintype.
Let's look at who Henry McCarty—otherwise known as Billy the Kid—was. In a way, Billy the Kid was like a really bad 60s rock star—people say he was actually born in '59 (1859, that is), and true to that 60s rock star metaphor, many people had heard of him and, in some strange way, admired him, or looked up to him. He was famous mainly because his life was documented by the mass media of the day—newspapers. Here is part of an article written about Billy in 1880, from an interview with an eyewitness:
Las Vegas Gazette (30th November, 1880)
"He did look human, indeed, but there was nothing very mannish about him in appearance, for he looked and acted a mere boy. He is about five feet eight or nine inches tall, slightly built and lithe, weighing about 140; a frank open countenance, looking like a school boy, with the traditional silky fuzz on his upper lip; clear blue eyes, with a rougish snap about them; light hair and complexion. He is, in all, quite a handsome looking fellow, the only imperfection being two prominent front teeth slightly protruding like squirrel's teeth, and he has agreeable and winning ways."
Billy unfortunately lived a short life. He was well known for being a spectacular shot—always winning gunfights. He was captured many times for stealing cattle, but always managed to escape.
There have been a few movies produced about Billy the Kid that dramatize the murder of Billy by Sherriff Pat Garrett. He was shot to death in 1881—some people say at the age of 21, but in reality it may actually be closer to 17. Some people think that Sherriff Garrett lied about at least two details of the story in order to make himself look better. One was that Billy had a gun in his hand when he was shot, so that the Sherriff could claim self defense. And the second was that Billy was 21 years old, so it shouldn't look like he shot a 17 year old in the back, which he probably did.
For further info about "The Kid," just see one of the many movies, like the one with James Coburn and Bob Dylan "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid," or do a Google search, and you can read many versions of his life and death.
As a lifelong photographer myself, I find it very important to realize that the worth of the photo isn't always—or even most of the time—dependent on the name or the fame of the photographer, but rather on the combination of image quality, content, and archivability.
Billy the Kid was not camera shy. I own Sallie Chisum's personal collection of tintype photographs. She knew BTK. They were about the same age. They danced together. Sallie collected tintypes of her family and friends, including the kid. I found them in a local antique store and traced them to Sallie's living relatives who live nearby. They are still ranchers and they recall the collection and told me how it was sold. In short the identities of the people depicted had been long forgotten and the collection was sold in a yard sale. It is exciting to own such a collection it includes all of Sallie's Chisum family and most of her friends including members of the "Regulators". Most of the pictures are extremely clear portraits of sitting subjects taken by George W. Morgan a tintyper of the day.
I have a tintype of First Lady Cleveland Plus an original oil painting done from the tintype. The tintype is tucked in the corner of the frame the oil painting is in. Any idea of the value?

REGIMENTAL secretaries from across the North-East, North West and Scotland have visited Phoenix House recovery centre in Catterick Garrison so they can spread the word to veterans in their associations.
Up to 15 regimental secretaries as well as members of the Scottish Veterans' Residences attended an open day to see the facilities on offer at the Help for Heroes funded centre.
The £10.7 million purpose-built recovery centre was officially opened last year and provides support for Wounded, Injured and Sick serving personal and veterans, with 46 en-suite bedrooms, four family rooms and top-of-the-range kitchens for residents to use.
The open day included presentations by a number of Phoenix House staff as well as military personnel. There was also a discussion time to receive feedback from the visitors.
Major (Retd) Chris Lawton, Durham secretary for the Rifles, said the facilities were fantastic for veterans and serving soldiers alike.
He said: "To see what's available now to our injured soldiers is brilliant. During Northern Ireland and Bosnia, there was nothing like this available. We have 31 amputees and three are triple amputees in our association and this is just tremendous for them to access.
"Our injured need help now and then, in another five to 10 years, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder will set in and that's going to be an unknown number."
For information on getting support from the centre contact Lawrence Mannion on 01748-834148 or email email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com

By Allen Moff | Staff writer
Similarities between the two combatants in todays Kent State-Bowling Green showdown are virtually endless.
From the team-first attitude that got them here, to their toughness in the trenches, to their dominance on special teams, the formula for success implemented by both the Golden Flashes and Falcons during their stunningly successful 2012 campaigns is almost identical.
Golden Flashes head coach Darrell Hazell even said analyzing Bowling Green is a little bit like looking in the mirror.
These are two good football teams playing against each other that look very similar when you watch them on film, said Hazell.
The Falcons have earned six straight victories thanks to a dominant defense thats allowed a paltry 7.8 points per game during that stretch, a run-based offense that milks the clock and makes few mistakes, and special teams that have produced huge plays.
Meanwhile, the 25th-ranked Flashes (9-1, 6-0 MAC) roll into Bowling Green (7-3, 5-1) riding a school-record eight-game winning streak. While not as dominating as the Falcons statistically, Kent States defense has stood tall in the clutch mostly by forcing turnovers 30 on the season, which paves the way for KSUs nation-leading plus-20 turnover ratio. The Flashes also feature the run offensively, and have been solid or spectacular in every facet of special teams throughout the season.
Its strength on strength, said Falcons coach Dave Clawson, summing it up perfectly.
Both teams are monsters in the trenches, which creates a slew of intriguing matchups.
Kent States offensive line, anchored by senior left tackle Brian Winters and senior left guard Josh Kline, has cleared running paths for a rushing attack producing over 235 yards per game, while allowing only two sacks in the past six contests. The Flashes have two 1,000-yard rushers in sophomore bruiser Trayion Durham (210 carries for 1,059 yards, 13 TDs, 5.0 ypc) and junior blazer Dri Archer (108-1,042, 12 TDs, 9.7 ypc), along with a steady senior quarterback in Spencer Keith (133-of-227, 1,413 yards, 9 TDs).
Their offensive production really starts with the line, said Clawson. Winters might be the best offensive lineman in the conference. He has great feet, hes physical, and he finishes blocks. The whole left side is awesome. Theyve blocked some very, very good people this year. Its a really impressive group.
The unit will face a staunch Bowling Green defense that leads the MAC in virtually every category: Total defense (285.4 ypg), scoring defense (15.1 ppg), rushing defense (103.7 ypg), pass defense (181.7), pass-efficiency defense and sacks (29).
The BG defense is led by soon-to-be MAC Defensive Player of the Year Chris Jones, a 6-foot-1, 293-pound senior tackle that has amassed 1712 tackles for loss, 1112 sacks and five quarterback hurries.
On the flipside, Kent States defensive line will face a Bowling Green offensive line thats allowed just 12 sacks all season, while creating nice holes for 5-11, 188-pound sophomore RB Anthon Samuel (906 yard, 10 TDs).
Junior quarterback Matt Schilz has been extremely efficient much like KSUs Keith limiting his mistakes (6 INTs), while throwing for 1,843 yards and 10 scores.
Overall, the Flashes ever-opportunistic defense will face a Falcons offense that has committed just 11 turnovers on the season.
They do a good job with (Schilz) getting it out of his hands very fast, dropping it off in swings and bubbles, said Hazell. Hes a good player who he can keep the ball alive. (Samuel) came alive I thought in the Ohio game (a 26-14 victory on Nov. 7) and made some huge plays. Hes a very strong, physical runner.
Samuel rushed for 181 yards and two touchdowns, while Bowling Greens punt block unit produced four huge plays that led to 19 points in that victory over the Bobcats.
Similarities between the two teams carry into the locker room and off the field as well.
Both coaches have continually raved about the team-first attitude and mature work ethic displayed by their respective squads throughout the season, factors that have led directly to shockingly abrupt turnarounds by both programs. Both the Flashes and Falcons finished 5-7 last year, and were not predicted to do much better in 2012.
Today, theyll clash in what amounts to a winner-take-all showdown for the MAC East title and a spot against West Division champion Northern Illinois in the MAC Championship Game. Kent State can clinch the East crown with a victory, while the Falcons can secure the title with wins today and against Buffalo on Nov. 23 in Columbus.
I think we have great players, and they have great players. Theyre gonna make their plays and were gonna make our plays, said Hazell. The team that makes the least mistakes, doesnt turn it over, and has the greatest will in the fourth quarter is probably gonna win this football game.
In my opinion, this game will come down to the team that has the greatest will in the fourth quarter. And the will of this football team thats in our locker room is pretty good.

Modi appeals for calm in Kashmir; assures help for Mehbooba - CNN
Tue, Jul 12, 2016, 03:24 PM
Immediately after the high-level meeting, Modi appealed for peace in Kashmir. He assured Mehbooba Mufti of all help. However, both the Centre and the State government are earning flak for inaction in the matter. None of the Mufti's ministers or leaders from the Centre were seen talking to the people. It is surprising that no one has come out to reassure the people of Kashmir of calm and peace.

EAST LANSING, Mich. – Dec. 7 – A change in format for the Boys Basketball Finals highlighted actions taken by the Representative Council of the Michigan High School Athletic Association during its annual Fall Meeting, Nov. 30 in East Lansing.
Mirroring closely the format of the MHSAA Girls Basketball Finals, the Boys Finals will move this season from three to two sessions. The first session will tip off with the Class D Final at 10 a.m., followed by the Class A championship game. The second session will begin tentatively at 4:30 p.m. with the Class C Final and conclude with the Class B title game.
Previously, the Class A and B Finals were separate sessions, with the Class A Final tipping at 4 p.m. and Class B at 8 p.m. The change will make for a shorter day for spectators wishing to attend all four games, and also allow them to do so by purchasing tickets for two sessions instead of three.
The Fall Meeting also saw the addition of two members to the 19-person council. Reese Public Schools athletic director Dave Derocher began a two-year term after being elected earlier this fall to represent Class C and D schools in the northern Lower Peninsula. Orlando Medina, who serves as athletic coordinator for Harrison Township L'Anse Creuse Public Schools, was appointed for a two-year term. He also previously served as athletic director at Detroit Cesar Chavez Academy. They fill positions formerly held by Beal City superintendent William Chilman IV and Romulus High School athletic director Mark Woodson, whose terms ended.
Also, Carmen Kennedy, principal at St. Clair Shores South Lake High School, was reappointed for a second two-year term. The Representative Council is the legislative body of the MHSAA. All but five members are elected by member schools. Four members are appointed by the Council to facilitate representation of females and minorities, and the 19th position is occupied by the Superintendent of Public Instruction or designee.
The most prominent points discussed at the Fall Meeting were risk minimization for athletes and possible strategies for making school sports safer. Among topics discussed were raising expectations for coaches' participation in online safety courses and schools' management of heat illness; the possible restructuring of practice policies in regards to hot weather; and game rules revisions to enhance safety especially in football, soccer and ice hockey.
The Council reviewed its previous actions on those topics, including discussions in December 2011 that led to the inclusion of health and safety content in online rules meetings. Council members considered a model policy for managing heat and humidity, and also a number of ideas collected during Fall Update meetings with administrators throughout the state.
No action was requested on those items at the Fall Meeting. Complete and vetted proposals are likely to be considered when the Council next meets in March and then May.
The MHSAA is a private, not-for-profit corporation of voluntary membership by more than 1,500 public and private senior high schools and junior high/middle schools which exists to develop common rules for athletic eligibility and competition. No government funds or tax dollars support the MHSAA, which was the first such association nationally to not accept membership dues or tournament entry fees from schools. Member schools which enforce these rules are permitted to participate in MHSAA tournaments, which attract approximately 1.5 million spectators each year.

AB Marine To Distribute Gobius Tank Monitors
AB Marine of Rhode Island has been selected to distribute Gobius Tank Monitors in the U.S. and Canada. Sweden-based Gobius recently introduced the Gobius4, an outside-the-tank monitoring system that requires no holes to be drilled for mounting. The Gobius Technology system consists of a shaker and an accelerometer. It is best described as "knock and listen", to measure fluid levels in all types of tanks. The sensors are mounted outside the tank so no holes need to be drilled. Unlike other tank monitors, the Gobius4 can be used on aluminum, plastic, stainless steel or fiberglass tanks of any shape and size. The control head maintains all of the calibration data even when the system is switched off so there are no worries about accuracy or reliability. Using advanced software, the data from each measuring device is NMEA 2000 compatible and can be shared through networks and read on WEMA, VDO and FARIA displays. Gobius4 systems draw less than 40 milliamps. (www.ab-marine.com)
