NVIDIA Technology Partners Bring Low-Cost SLI-Ready PCs to Mainstream Segment; GeForce™ 6600 GPUs Now SLI Ready
For further information, contact:
Bryan Del Rizzo
NVIDIA Corporation
(408) 486-2772
SANTA CLARA, CA—JUNE 22, 2005—After dominating the high-end enthusiast PC category, and winning hundreds of editorial awards worldwide, NVIDIA Corporation (Nasdaq: NVDA), a worldwide leader in graphics and digital media processors, today announced that NVIDIA SLI technology—the ability to use two graphics cards in tandem for unparalleled graphics performance—is now available to users in the mainstream market. Starting today, mainstream users can take advantage of NVIDIA SLI technology through the use of:
- NVIDIA GeForce 6600 standard graphics processing units (GPUs)
- New lower priced, full-featured NVIDIA nForce™4 SLI-based motherboards for the mainstream market
- The newly released and WHQL-stamped NVIDIA Release 75 ForceWare™ graphics driver
In addition, NVIDIA has worked with the world's leading OEMs and system builders to enable fully-equipped SLI-ready systems at a starting price of $799 for the mainstream user.
"SLI technology is a must have feature in the enthusiasts segment, so it is only natural for this awesome technology to trickle down to the mainstream segment," said Richard Austin, chairman at Evesham Technology (UK). "Ultimately, consumers have the choice on how much they want to spend, and how much performance they can afford today, and we are providing them a safe, sensible upgrade path for the performance levels of tomorrow."
These new low-cost SLI solutions bring the revolutionary NVIDIA SLI capability to new price points, allowing the casual gamer to "future proof" their PC by being SLI-ready with NVIDIA technology and having a platform that allows them to add in a second SLI-ready graphics card at a later date.
"For the casual gamer who is looking to make the transition to NVIDIA SLI technology, today's announcement means they can also make the jump to an SLI-ready PC and be assured of a viable graphics upgrade path in the future," said Ujesh Desai, general manager of GeForce GPUs at NVIDIA. "The GeForce 6600 GPU is the perfect entry-level product for the mainstream market, and the combination with new lower-cost NVIDIA nForce4 SLI motherboards provides mainstream users with an ideal platform that won't break their budget."
The new Release 75 ForceWare graphics driver, released today on the Company's Web site at www.nvidia.com/drivers adds support for NVIDIA SLI technology to the current installed base of over two million GeForce 6600-based graphics cards. NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GPU-based add-in cards are currently for sale at online retailers starting under $100 USD.
NVIDIA motherboard partners, including Albatron, ASUSTeK, Biostar, ECS, Foxconn, Gigabyte, MSI, and others, have recently introduced new NVIDIA nForce4 SLI-based motherboards to the do-it-yourself mainstream markets, for both AMD and Intel CPUs.
Worldwide system builders who have low-cost, SLI-ready PCs for sale today, include: ABS Computer, Alienware, Arlt Computer, Bow.it, Cyberpower Inc., Evesham, iBuyPower Computer, IHDE, Hypersonic, Komplett, LDLC, Maingear, Monarch Computers, Planet Computers, Scan Computers, Totally Awesome Computers, Velocity Micro, @XI Computer, and many more.
"It's hard to justify buying a system without SLI technology" said Eric Cheung, vice president at Cyberpower Inc. "For a nominal cost addition, just having the ability to add a second graphics card in the future is a great idea, as it will result in a substantial boost in the performance of customers' games, when they wish to upgrade their system at a later date."

INDIO -- It didn't take long Friday for Stagecoach -- the three-day country-music jamboree set to run through Sunday night at the Empire Polo Club -- to differentiate itself from the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, which took over the same sun-scorched setting for two weekends earlier this month.
"I kind of think of this next one as if Rachel Maddow and Ann Coulter went on a blind date -- with an open bar," said Hayes Carll, introducing his song "Another Like You." The wry Texas-based singer-songwriter was only a few tunes into his early-afternoon set on the Palomino Stage, but already he was injecting a shot of politics that Coachella, with its entitled-hippie vibe, seemed to lack this year.
Stagecoach is likely to feature more cultural commentary in the hours to come: Friday night's headliners are Toby Keith and Hank Williams Jr., neither of whom is known to shy away from speaking his mind.
The festival is also certain to reflect the country community's loss Friday morning of George Jones, whose influence looms large over virtually every act scheduled to play this weekend.
"He was so important to the music going on here -- to the foundation of all this," said one Stagecoach attendee, Rose Alsup of Palm Springs.
Other differences between Coachella and Stagecoach were emerging Friday, including the much heavier presence of corporate branding -- it's hard to miss the Toyota World of Wonders -- and the switch in official festival beer from Heineken to Bud Light. The crowd here is smaller, as well, with a capacity of 55,000. (While Coachella sold out quickly, general-admission Stagecoach tickets for the full weekend were still available Friday afternoon at $239 a pop.)
TIMELINE: Coachella and Stagecoach
Still, the dry desert heat remains essentially the same, as does the sight of many, many half-dressed young people sauntering across the polo field.
And, of course, there's a similarly stacked bill, which in addition to Friday's performers includes Lady Antebellum, Dwight Yoakam, Darius Rucker, Marty Stuart, the Zac Brown Band, Charley Pride and dozens more.
Pop & Hiss will be here for it all. Stay with us, won't you?

Diuretic may treat autism, study in rodents suggests
Drug that affects brain chloride levels staves off symptoms in mice and rats
Curbing chloride in nerve cells could combat symptoms of autism, a study of rats and mice suggests. The results may explain why a small group of children with autism seemed to improve after taking the common diuretic bumetanide in an earlier study.
The new details of how bumetanide works, published in the Feb. 7 Science, provide important clues about how autism spectrum disorders arise in a developing brain, says Susan Connors, an autism specialist at Massachusetts General Hospital for Children in Boston who was not involved in the study. If extended to people, the results would point to a concrete biological difference in the brains of people with autism, one that could be targeted with drugs. That would be "a great step forward," says Connors.
In the new study, the drug curbed autismlike behaviors in pups when given to pregnant mice and rats a day before delivery. But

Comedian Ari Teman's less-than-stellar interaction with Airbnb has reignited into another feud, Gothamist reports.
In mid-March, Teman rented out his New York apartment to an Airbnb user named "David" who was looking for a place to host a wedding party. After handing over the keys, Teman left but later returned to this:
A "XXX Freak Fest" orgy. Specifically, a "BBW Panty Raid Party."
Teman's home was reportedly trashed, covered in condoms, wrecked furniture and booze. Airbnb officials sent him money for the damages and offered him a hotel to stay at.
But now, their initial hospitality has turned into something else entirely. In a now-deleted tweet, Airbnb's "customer advocate team leader" Simon McGrath tweeted "boring" to Teman's tweet about his appearance on Channel 10 Australia.
Teman told Gothamist he has also received odd tweets from random accounts and believes they are linked to Airbnb.
"I don't know the legal definition versus the feeling definition, but having a company who just sent an orgy into your apartment, destroying your stuff, now having their staff attack you, is at best idiotic and at worst malicious," he said.

WELLESLEY, Mass. – Led by a match changing 6.5 blocks by Briana Sousa (Swansea, Mass.) and a combined 18 kills from Shannon Thompson (Moorpark, Calif.) volleyball (10-5) upended previously undefeated and 26th ranked Wellesley College (14-1) in a thrilling five-set victory Friday evening at Dorothy Towne Fieldhouse.
Friday's win was retribution for the Beacons after the Blue ended the Beacons 22-match win streak last season, as they brought Wellesley's win streak to a screeching halt. Wellesley entered the non-conference showdown ranked 26th on the most recent American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Top-25 poll and was also ranked first on the New England Women's Volleyball Association (NEWVA) regional poll having received seven of the possible eight first place votes.
UMass Boston, who was looking to bounce back from their tough loss to Bowdoin College on Tuesday caught the Blue completely by surprise in the first set as they earned a 25-19 victory. One Wellesley realized they had a match on their hands they quickly answered back in the second set as they took a commanding lead over UMB. However the Beacons did not lay down as they erased an eight point deficit. Unfortunately, Wellesley managed to hold off the Beacons rally to take a 25-23 victory tying the match at 1-1.
Wellesley would then jump out to a 2-1 lead after taking a 25-21 win in the third set. Knowing they needed a win in a big way, the Beacons rallied in the fourth and earned a 25-23 decision forcing the deciding fifth set. That set would belong to the Beacons in what was one of the most intense matches of the season for both squads. UMB secured their 10th win of the year with a stunning 15-13 decision on a huge Sousa block.
Sousa, who played in her first collegiate five-set match of her very young career, was outstanding at the net as she posted 11 block assists and one solo block. Her 11 block assists set a new single match record for the Beacons, breaking the original mark of eight set by Molly Rattigan last October against RIT. Thompson posted her match-high 18 kills on 58 attempts to fuel the Beacons offense, with finished with 47 kills on the night. The senior hitter would also tally 15 digs on the night to record UMB's only double-double.
Senior Kayla Wilson (San Jose, Calif.) led the Beacons defensive effort with 23 digs, with Corrine Porter (Huntington Beach, Calif.) finishing second with 15 and Emma Rocha (Boynton Beach, Fla.) with 11.
As a team, UMB posted 16 blocks to lead the contest, which also tied the program record for most blocks in a five-set match. Rocha anchored the offense along with Megan Pollock (Wilton, Calif.) as the two combined for 40 assists respectively.
For the Blue Isabel Custodio led her team with 18 kills, followed by Sydney Carfagno who had 17. Setters Hilary Ayers and Custodio combined for 48 assists respectively, while Vivian Hu posted a match-best 30 digs.
Volleyball returns to action on Tuesday when they host Tufts University at 6 p.m. at Boston College High School.

Annual premium on Mike Burk's 1952, four-room house is $16,945 under the Biggert-Waters National Flood Insurance Reform Act.
When Mike Burk bought his getaway house on south Manasota Key in October, his flood insurance cost $2,012.
It seemed pricy for a 1952, four-room, concrete block bungalow measuring 863 square feet, but Burk expected to pay more to be so close to the beach.
He couldn't have anticipated what arrived in the mail last week. It was his new flood insurance premium: $16,945.
Welcome to life with the Biggert-Waters National Flood Insurance Reform Act. Passed last year, the Congressional action attempts to lessen the federal insurance program's $25 billion of debt by making property owners in high-risk areas pay more for flood protection.
In Southwest Florida, the changes will hit hardest in neighborhoods of properties built before 1975, when the federal government started to encourage homes in risky areas to be built at higher elevations.
U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan, R-Longboat Key, estimated that the new rates could affect 30,000 business and residential properties in his district.
Some owners might have to pay as much as eight times more than they currently do for flood insurance, payments that in some cases could double a mortgage.
As word has spread and the bills have started to arrive, Sarasota County has been deluged with calls from concerned citizens about whether their property is in a high-risk area.
Buchanan has scheduled a roundtable discussion on the rates for 11 a.m. Friday at the Dan McClure Auditorium, 5900 Airport Auditorium Lane, Sarasota.
"It's a huge issue, and this is the epicenter for the country. We've got to find another way to deal with it," Buchanan said Tuesday.
There was broad concensus that changes were needed in nation's flood insurance policy after FEMA ran up massive debts following hurricanes Katrina and Sandy.
But the spike in rates has caught many by surprise.
The new law kicked in Oct. 1 for the owners of commercial properties and second homes. As their old premiums expire, they're getting the bad news.
And if the Realtors, mortgage brokers and insurance agents are correct, it's going to wreak havoc with a real estate market still recovering from the Great Recession.
"It's a multi-tiered problem, but the solution is more difficult than the problem ... " says Ron Smith, a State Farm agent in Englewood. "The solution they have now isn't a good solution."
He's hardly alone in that assessment. State lawmakers have beseeched Congressional leaders to reform the reform.
Buchanan voted for the bill, but he said he expected the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which administers the program, to conduct an affordability study before it took effect.
He is now among 100 House members co-sponsoring a bill to delay implementation for four years so that FEMA can complete that study.
Burk's example symbolizes what critics say are the worst aspects of the law.
While longtime homeowners could see their rates rise 25 percent a year, new buyers and those whose property is not a primary residence face immediate adjustments in their annual premiums to the maximum levels.
The cost of the insurance also seems to ignore the value of the property. Burk's $16,945 policy, for example, provides only $155,000 worth of coverage.
"Do the math," he says. "I would pay for the home in just over nine years with this kind of rate structure."
And, the age and size of Burk's house also suggest that the value of his property, for which he paid $311,000, lies as much with the land as with the structure on it.
Barring adjustments, the real outcry is going to come in October 2014. That's when the owners of primary residences will start to receive their revised flood insurance bills.
Of the 30,000 some properties rated high risk in Manatee and Sarasota counties, about 20,000 represent homes, and 71 percent of those homes are primary residences.
Not all will get crippling rate increases. It comes down to whether a building is constructed as high as the base elevation for its location, established by code.
Property owners can learn their base flood elevation and risk zone by contacting their city's or county's building department.
At some point, property owners of buildings constructed before the mid-1990s in high-risk areas also will need to hire surveyors (costing $150 to $250) to issue elevation certificates for their structures.
Each foot the structure lies below the base elevation will cost the owner more for flood insurance.
Property owners have one way out of having to deal with this. They can pay off their mortgages. Then they don't have to purchase flood insurance.
Many do not have that luxury, however, which raises another implication for the flood insurance program. The changes most affect older structures, likely to be owned by residents with lower incomes.
If insurance rates make such ownership unaffordable, it could easily force people from their homes and leave those properties accessible only to the wealthy, an unintended social consequence not lost on Buchanan.
"A lot of people are just hanging on," he said. "We don't want people losing their homes.

Re: 4.0 to 4.5 Ratings vs Likingted.hopton Jul 28, 2011 7:13 AM (in response to bjewell)
Enabled both ratings and likes. We've had very little traction on ratings so we hoped "liking" would be adopted more easily. Since, of course, I can't easily get any stats on either ratings or likes, I can't tell you for sure what's happening... but anecdotally I can say I have seen liking picking up slowly with ratings perhaps increasing just a bit, too.
Re: 4.0 to 4.5 Ratings vs LikingBrad.Fitzgerald Jul 28, 2011 8:14 AM (in response to ted.hopton)
We have them both enabled, and similar to Ted, I see Liking slowly being adopted. Fraknly, I think people hear that term a lot in their personal world and Facebook, so when they see it in Jive, they instantly know what it means.
I'm taking this cue and applying it to how I think about all of our site. For example, I thought they other day that Spaces could be explained like a "Page" in Facebook, except way more interactive. The concept seemed to connect well with the people I was talking to.
Ratings, while something people do regularly in life and other parts of the web, haven't seem to have connected with my users.
Re: 4.0 to 4.5 Ratings vs Likingandrew.k.gold Jul 28, 2011 11:30 AM (in response to Brad.Fitzgerald)
I think the proportionality for the size of the like button in Jive needs adjustment. The positioning and proportionality in Facebook make it really easy to like. Even in this discussion and reply page, the Like button is the same size as Report Abuse with small font in far right corner. I think this is an important factor in getting users to like more.
Re: 4.0 to 4.5 Ratings vs Likingcrossman Jul 28, 2011 9:16 AM (in response to bjewell)
We left both on in an effort to provide our users with maximum flexibility. Additionally, the "like" function makes much more sense with the enhancements to Status Updates in 4.5, so it was kind of no-brainer to keep this. We did have a small number of groups using the 5 star ratings so we didn't want to turn that off.

Neither Chester Arthur nor Wong Kim Ark 'natural born' citizens
By Linda Bentley | September 2, 2009
'Obama … a dual citizen owing allegiance to the very monarchy our founding fathers shed their blood to rid themselves of …'
TRENTON, N.J. – Leo Donofrio, the attorney who voluntarily suspended his law license to play professional poker and whose complaint challenging the New Jersey Secretary of State Nina Mitchell Wells for her failure to verify the eligibility of presidential candidates was dismissed without being heard on its merits, has since completely immersed himself in the constitutional eligibility issue of the President of the United States (POTUS) and the definition of "natural born" citizen.
Donofrio says it doesn't matter if Obama provides proof stating he was "born in the White House," due to the fact Obama Sr. was a foreign national of Kenya with a nonresident student visa.
According to Obama's website FightTheSmears.com:
"When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4, 1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom's dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.'s children."
Donofrio said, if he was born in Hawaii, Obama would have been a dual citizen who owed allegiance to the Queen of England and United Kingdom at birth and therefore cannot be a "natural born" citizen of the United States in accordance with Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution.
The U.S. State Department addresses dual nationality by stating, "The U.S. Government recognizes that dual nationality exists but does not encourage it as a matter of policy because of the problems it may cause. Claims of other countries on dual national U.S. citizens may conflict with U.S. law ... The country where a dual national is located generally has a stronger claim to that person's allegiance. However, dual nationals owe allegiance to both the United States and the foreign country. They are required to obey the laws of both countries …"
Donofrio says, "Obama can't provide any document which makes him eligible under the legal theory that a person such as him, a dual citizen owing allegiance to the very monarchy our founding fathers shed their blood to rid themselves of, was not at birth and therefore can never be, a natural born citizen of the United States."
Last week, Donofrio exclaimed profound excitement upon receiving an article by George D. Collins, Esq., Secretary of the California Bar Association, that appeared in the Sept./Oct. 1884 edition of "The American Law Review," titled, "Are persons born in the United States Ipso Facto Citizens Thereof?"
Donofrio said the article makes it "perfectly clear" in order to be a natural born citizen one must be born to a U.S. citizen father. Although it was virtually unknown at the time, Arthur's father William was not naturalized until 1843, 14 years after Arthur was born, making Arthur a British subject.
Chester Arthur was elected the 20th vice president of the United States and became the 21st president on Sept. 19, 1881 when President James Garfield died, serving until March 1885.
Arthur was able to successfully hide his parental heritage from the public.
Collins' article, which never mentions Arthur, goes into great detail about exactly what constitutes a natural born citizen.
Donofrio notes, "Collins steadfastly denies that a person born on U.S. soil to an alien father could be a natural born citizen."
Then there's the oft-cited U.S. Supreme Court decision in Wong Kim Ark, which, according to Donofrio, "has caused more confusion regarding the natural born citizenship issue than any other case in U.S. history."
Wong Kim Ark was a laborer born in 1873 in San Francisco, Calif. to permanent resident alien parents who were subjects of the Emperor of China.
In 1890, when Ark was 17, he departed for a temporary visit to China, from which he returned that same year and was permitted by the collector of customs to enter as a "native-born citizen of the United States."
In 1894, at the age of 21, Ark again departed for China on a temporary visit, returning by sea in August 1895, this time only to be denied entry by the collector of customs who claimed Ark was not a citizen of the United States.
In 1898, the U.S. Supreme Court decided in favor of Ark, conceding he was indeed a citizen of the United States and that the Chinese Exclusion Acts, prohibiting persons of the Chinese race, especially laborers, from coming into the United States, did not and could not apply to him.
Donofrio says the one infamous passage, "fervently relied upon by Obama eligibility supporters" to claim the case establishes children of aliens born in the United States are natural-born citizens, and which Donofrio admitted confused him at first, states:
"The foregoing considerations and authorities irresistibly lead us to these conclusions: The fourteenth amendment affirms the ancient and fundamental rule of citizenship by birth within the territory, in the allegiance and under the protection of the country, including all children here born of resident aliens … Every citizen or subject of another country, while domiciled here, is within the allegiance and the protection, and consequently subject to the jurisdiction, of the United States. His allegiance to the United States is direct and immediate … and his child, as said by Mr. Binney in his essay before quoted, 'If born in the country, is as much a citizen as the natural-born child of a citizen …'"
Donofrio states, "It appears at first glance that the passage claims children of aliens born on U.S. soil are themselves natural-born citizens … But a closer inspection reveals this is not what the court held," as he explains Justice Gray is comparing two children; one, a U.S. born child of a resident alien, the other, a "natural-born" child of a citizen, while noting both are citizens.
"So the holding indicates Wong Kim Ark was as much a citizen as any other citizen despite not being natural-born," said Donofrio.
However, Ark could still not be POTUS.
Donofrio said, "Being eligible to be President is not a right or protection of citizenship," citing not all natural born citizens can be President, as there are also age and residency requirements.
Donofrio concluded, "Based upon my review of history and law, I don't believe Obama is eligible to be President," and said he continues to press this issue "for fear that it will continue to erode the chain of command. The brave men and women of our military deserve to know for certain that their Commander is constitutionally eligible to lead them."

Cancer Survivor Terry Schwartz
According to his nominator, Steve Wiley: "Terry said, 'If I only have a short while to live, I'm going to live it doing what I love.'"
And so he does.
Schwartz's efforts, primarily as a construction superintendent for Maranatha, produce positive changes for the people who benefit from the schools and churches that are built. But those efforts also produce positive changes in the volunteers that Schwartz takes on Maranatha trips.
The volunteer crew members sometimes include troubled youths who undergo a life-changing experience from seeing their work through Maranatha produce positive results for others.
"For me, it's more about changing the lives of the volunteers than it is leaving things better in the communities we work in," says Schwartz. "It's just something that's important to my wife Dina and I. If not for our family here in Lincoln, we'd probably stay over there."
It's not as though Schwartz, 57, needs more things to do. When he is in Lincoln, he works as vice president of the Racquet Club, which is owned by his father, Marlyn. The family also has a partnership in the Old Cheney Center and owns Old Cheney Plaza and other properties nearby, so Terry manages approximately 50 business tenants.
He owned and operated Schwartz Construction until nine years ago, when his father asked him to work with him.
"I told him I like doing mission trips, and I'd work for him if he didn't make me feel guilty for taking trips," Schwartz says. "He had no idea what he was agreeing to!"
Last year, Terry and Dina spent a month in India and five and one-half months in Africa. In the past five years, they have gone on five to six Maranatha mission trips every year.
"I've been gearing my life around it," Schwartz says.
Each year, some of those trips involve leading a group of 40 inner-city youths from large metropolitan areas. Most would be in jail if they weren't signed up for the trip as a community service project, Schwartz says.
"When we start the trip, these kids have unbelievable gang attitudes and carry knives, have bad vices and freely admit they will work harder to get out of work than work," he says. "But the trips are a life-changing experience for many of them."
A former prostitute turned her life around after going on a mission trip and is studying to be a physician, Schwartz says. A former gang member is now a corpsman in the U.S. Navy. Another young man was failing at a military academy and in trouble for drug-related crimes before volunteering to serve on a mission trip led by Schwartz.
"He came with us, and in two years he went to the top of his class at the academy," Schwartz says. "He said the trip was the turning point in his life. It's fun to be a part of that kind of life-changing experience for those kids."
Not all of the trips are with inner-city youth in trouble with the law. Earlier this year, Schwartz led a group of 30 "really good kids" from Nebraska and Kansas to Choluteca, Honduras.
"It was pretty cool that 30 Kansas and Nebraska kids built three buildings in five days," Schwartz says. The group was the third of eight from Maranatha scheduled to help construct a nine-building K-12 school complex.
Schwartz has been volunteering for mission trips through many organizations, including Maranatha, since 1969, when he joined his father on a mission to Mexico.
The prospects of continuing such mission trips seemed dim on May 22, 2009, when Schwartz was diagnosed with prostate cancer that had spread to bones.
"From there it goes to the liver and lungs," he says. "On the Gleason scale of one to nine, I was a nine. There is no 10. That means you're dead."
Dr. Misop Han, a urologist at Johns Hopkins Medical Center in Baltimore, excised the prostate in surgery but told Schwartz that even after surgery, statistics indicate he would still have less than a 1 percent chance of living longer than 90 days.
"He told me he had never excised a prostate as tumor-ridden as mine," Schwartz says. "It's amazing to me that I'm still here after having all this stuff. There's no doubt in my mind that prayer is the reason I'm still here. Not just my own prayers, but other people's too. God has given me some additional time."
Schwartz says that when he is on a mission trip, he feels productive enough that he can forget about his health issues.
"God has plans for every one of us," he says. "I feel that doing these trips is part of God's plan in my life. Even when I don't feel like going or I don't feel like we can afford to go, when Maranatha calls us, we're going to go. I really enjoy the change it makes in our lives as well as the lives of the people we help and the volunteers."
Maranatha volunteers have completed projects in Lincoln as well, Schwartz notes. The People's City Mission, nonprofit Christian Heritage and building renovations at Union College are examples.
After Hurricane Katrina, Schwartz joined a group that spent six weeks in Louisiana rebuilding a school.
"Maranatha has a lot of work in the U.S. for people who don't like to travel outside of the states," he says.
When he travels, Schwartz, an avid photographer, enjoys shooting photos and sharing them with the local residents.
"In Zambia, I gave over 800 people photos of themselves," he says. "Not one of them had ever had a photo taken before. Those people have absolutely no material possessions, but they're such happy people."
On such mission trips to Africa, Schwartz brings along fellow photography enthusiast Dick Dirkson, host of the Maranatha Mission Stories TV program on 3ABN Christian TV and the Hope Channel.
"We spend a week after the construction shooting photos on Safari," Schwartz says.
Schwartz's parents, Marlyn and Sharon, and brother, Bruce, often join Terry and Dina on mission trips as well.
Schwartz notes that Maranatha mission trips are open to everyone, and he has had volunteer helpers from under age 10 to over 90. No skills are necessary. "We train people and make sure they have fun so they'll keep coming back," he says.

Dunedin in 2 days
So what's there to do and to see in Dunedin in 2 days? Lots, that's for sure - Have a look at my suggestions and you might find something you like!
1 / 5
Start of by enjoying a stroll through the city and taking in its atmosphere: From the Octagon, Dunedin's centre, to the famous railway station, New Zealand's most photographed building.
You might want to head to the Otago Museum for some historical or cultural background on NZ, the Maoris and the Otago region. If that is not what you like, take a tour at Cadbury World, or the famous Speight's brewery, however you prefer.
For some lunch, come back to the Octagon where you will find lots of restaurants and cafes that offer great food and a nice spot for some midday sun.
Enjoy the atmosphere and take in the vibe of the city. If you like burgers, don't miss out on the velvet burgers in town, you will love these!
In the afternoon, head down to Dunedin's North East Valley, to work off your lunch by walking up Baldwin Street, the world's steepest street. After this struggle, enjoy a nice view over the city and the Otago Peninsula from the top of Signal Hill.
Your second day should definitely be spend on the beautiful Otago Peninsula with its green, hilly scenery and Dunedin's best wildlife viewing. Just take a drive on Portobello Road, the scenic road just along the waterside. You will come along some beautiful spots.
On your way back, make sure you turn into Highcliff Road for more breathtaking views! It also takes you to a spot you should not miss while in Dunedin: Sandfly Bay. This is one of my favourite spots! A beautiful, secluded beach surrounded by dunes, with sea lions resting in the sand along the beach and Yellow Eyed Penguins coming ashore at dusk.
If you would like to spot the rare Yellow Eyed Penguins that are the world's most endangered penguins, watch the penguins from the hide-outs at the end of the beach in the late afternoon.
When driving off the peninsula, go down to St. Clair Beach for some coffee in one of the cafes/restaurants along the esplanade. If it's a nice day, you might even be able to go for a swim or a surf!
After so much sightseeing, you might just enjoy a relaxed afternoon by strolling along George Street with all its great shops, taking in the student culture by wandering around the campus with its historic buildings or simply enjoying a walk through Dunedin's Botanic Gardens.
For a great dinner, head to Angus Steak House, one of Dunedin's best places for some NZ lamb or steak. Later this place also turns into a great nightlife spot thanks to its MoonBar.
To encounter Dunedin's nightlife, head to the Octagon, where restaurants turn into bars at night and more clubs downstairs. Entry fees are a rarity, so just hop from one to another, there is something for everyone!

After appearing in several films throughout the decade, Paltrow gained early notice for her work in films such as Se7en (1995) and Emma (1996) (in which she played the title role). Following the films, Sliding Doors (1998) and A Perfect Murder (1998), Paltrow garnered worldwide recognition through her performance in Shakespeare in Love (1998), for which she won an Academy Award for Best Actress, a Golden Globe Award and two Screen Actors Guild Awards, for Outstanding Lead Actress and as a member of the Outstanding Cast. She also won a Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series in 2011 for her role as Holly Holiday on the FOX hit TV show Glee in the episode The Substitute
Since then, Paltrow has portrayed supporting as well as lead roles in films such as The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999), Shallow Hal (2001), and Proof (2005), for which she earned a Golden Globe nomination as Best Actress in Motion Picture Drama. In 2008, she appeared in the highest grossing movie of her career, the superhero film Iron Man (2008), and then reprised her role as Pepper Potts in its sequel, Iron Man 2 (2010). Paltrow also appeared in the television series, Glee, and has been the face of Estée Lauder's Pleasures perfume since 2005. In the same 2011 weekend as winning her Emmy Award she appeared in the number one film at the US box office, the ensemble plague drama Contagion. She is married to Chris Martin, the lead vocalist of Coldplay. They have two children together, Apple and Moses.
Paltrow was born in Los Angeles, California. She is the daughter of Blythe Danner, an actress, and Bruce Paltrow, a film and television director and producer. Her father was of Ashkenazi Russian Jewish descent, and her mother is a Quaker of Pennsylvania Dutch and more distant white Barbadian ancestry. Paltrow's paternal great-great-grandfather, whose surname was "Palterowicz", was a rabbi in Nowogród, Poland. Paltrow has a younger brother, Jake Paltrow, and is a half-cousin of actress Katherine Moennig, and a second cousin of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (AZ-08).

SANDY, Utah – Javier Morales scored on a header in the 53 rd minute and Real Salt Lake beat Chivas USA 1-0 Saturday night.
Salt Lake (3-3-2) moved one point ahead of Chivas into second place in the Western Conference.
Chivas USA (3-3-1) has lost two straight while failing to score a goal in either match.
Less than minute after Olmes Garcia clanked a shot off the crossbar for the second time, Alvaro Saborio recovered the ball and sent a cross into Morales near the left post. Morales tapped in the header and gave Salt Lake 1-0 lead.
The go-ahead goal from Morales came after a huge defensive play prevented Chivas USA from taking control before halftime.
Nick Rimando came up with a huge save for Salt Lake in the 36 th minute after a handball on Ned Grabavoy set Chivas up with a penalty kick.
Edgar Mejia lined up to take the kick and booted the ball toward the right post. Rimando perfectly anticipated the direction of the kick and batted the ball away at the post to keep it scoreless. It marked Rimando's 18 th career save on penalty kicks.
Rimando, who has given up just five goals in seven games, earned his second shutout of the season.
Morales came close to tacking on another goal in the 88 th minute. He lobbed a free kick over a three-man defensive wall at the top of the box. The ball was on frame and pushed away by Dan Kennedy at the top corner of the left post.
Emotions boiled over for Chivas in the final minutes. Chelis, the team's first-year coach, had words for Morales as he subbed out with two minutes left. He had to be restrained by the fourth official and exited through the players' tunnel shortly afterward.
Mejia followed up by being ejected with a red card during the fourth minute of stoppage time for fighting. He will be suspended for Chivas' next match.
Salt Lake played without team captain Kyle Beckerman in the lineup. Beckerman was sidelined after dislocating a rib in practice last week.

Editorial: Truth in political advertising?
After several months of elevated discussion on serious policy issues and sound solutions during the Democratic gubernatorial primary race, the contest between Democrat nominee Sen. Peter Shumlin and Republican nominee Brian Dubie has been reduced to pot shots, distortions and unfounded charges.The negative side of the campaign is to be expected: Political advertising financed by outside groups (like the Republican Governor's Association for Dubie) goes negative because consultants say smear tactics work and because the candidate is not supposed to have a direct say in the content of those ads — allowing them to distance themselves from blatant falsehoods.But Vermont voters don't have to suffer such insolence silently. If voters are offended by distortions and falsehoods, contact the campaign. Complain, demand honesty and suggest the misleading ad is costing the offending candidate your support. Once candidates start hearing from hundreds of Vermonters that lies and half-truths on their behalf are costing them votes, the consultants will get the message. Not up to the hassle? Then, just bleep the commercials on both sides of the political aisle. They're full of bunk anyway.The latest tit-for-tat has a Dubie ad suggesting Shumlin has raised taxes on Vermonters and wants to raise even more. Shumlin fires back with an ad proclaiming it was Dubie who was willing to raise $100 million in taxes on middle class Vermonters, then claims he (Shumlin) was responsible for eliminating the sales tax on clothing, suggesting his mission is actually to cut taxes on Vermonters.Where's the truth? Shumlin is right to say that Dubie's support of Gov. Douglas' plan to transfer $40 million of the teachers' retirement account to the education fund, which would have been raised to $60 million in fiscal year 2011 if passed, would have raised that amount from the property tax. Plus, the Dubie/Douglas plan would have cut $24 million of income sensitivity funding out of the current formula: thus effectively increasing the tax burden on Vermonters by $84 million. Add that to $35 million of school construction costs, $6 million of Medicaid costs, and a $6 million General Fund transfer (total of $47 million) all shifted onto the education fund, and the tally would have been a $134 million shift onto the education fund (paid through property taxes) under the plan Dubie supported. (It was not, however, passed.)As for eliminating the sales tax on clothing, Shumlin does get partial credit for the idea and helping get it passed, though many others in the Legislature (as well as the Douglas administration which approved of the idea) were also involved.We'll try to debunk or explain the worst of the political claims and charges as they arise (check our Web site for updates at www.addisonindependent.com), but you can play a role too. Add your comments and observations to our web site, but also hound the candidates about the commercials you find are blatantly false. Vermont is small enough to self-police these campaigns if voters take an active role in demanding some semblance of accuracy in campaign advertising.Angelo S. Lynn

As alternative video platforms spread, supported by the ubiquity of broadband Internet connections, producers of movies and TV shows are exploring them as new sources for distribution. Netflix has had apparent success with its "House of Cards" series. And there's the growing trend of film studios releasing titles to on-demand services at the same time – or even before – they hit theaters.
And here's another first: A British independent comedy, "Pulp", is getting its debut on Microsoft's Xbox Live network today. The film, described by BetaNews as being about "a struggling comic book publisher who becomes mixed up in a plot to take down a crime syndicate," costs 1,180 Microsoft points ($14.75) for the standard definition version, or 1,420 points ($17.75) to watch it in high-def.
Adam Handy, the creator of "Pulp", told the BBC that it's getting more difficult to distribute low-budget films in the United Kingdom. Microsoft's Xbox Live network is an efficient alternative for getting such films seen, he said:
"At the top end of the indie film business the UK is still pretty healthy, but it's the middle tier and the lower budget tier that's struggling.
"Where they would have been released straight to DVD, the opportunities for doing that have really declined.
"Retailers have gone out of business because of the threat of piracy and because of legitimate digital downloading.
"There has been a decline in the middle to lower budget tier of films that used to get made."
Microsoft has been positioning the Xbox as a living-room entertainment center for some time, and this move continues that evolution. The company says it hopes to debut other films via the Xbox Live network.
You can see a trailer for "Pulp" below, but be aware that it's crude and quite profane. The preview has few scenes from the actual film, relying instead on verbal reviews from people who've seen it (though they come across as actors playing the roles of moviegoers). The script appears to be wincingly bad, and based on this trailer, "Pulp" makes movies like "The Hangover Part II" look like an art-house film by comparison.
You have been warned.
For now, "Pulp" is only available in the U.K., which for U.S. Xbox Live members may be a blessing. If it's a success, though, Microsoft will bring it to our shores.
Update: Jay Sutherland, one of the actors in "Pulp", begged to differ on my assessment of the film's quality. We had an interesting exchange on Twitter.
@dsilverman Pulp comparison with Hangover 2; fair enough, but had 0.5% the budget. The film has more heart than the trailer does it credit.
— Jay Sutherland (@jaysutherland) March 4, 2013
@jaysutherland Trailer's all I have to go on… that & the excerpts on YouTube, which are all awful.
— dwight silverman (@dsilverman) March 4, 2013
@dsilverman I understand. I just hope people give it a chance as there's a bit more to it than that and as a small UK indie, needs support.
— Jay Sutherland (@jaysutherland) March 4, 2013
@jaysutherland Ah, you're one of the actors in it. Just fyi, I love indie, & love British films. Have been a film reviewer in past life.
— dwight silverman (@dsilverman) March 4, 2013
@dsilverman I reckon (I'm pretty good at being objective on these matters) that if you gave it a chance, you'd enjoy it for what it is. 🙂
— Jay Sutherland (@jaysutherland) March 4, 2013
@jaysutherland Tell you what, when I get an opportunity to see it over here, I'll give it that chance.
— dwight silverman (@dsilverman) March 4, 2013
@dsilverman I appreciate that. I bet 1 English pound (hey, acting doesn't pay well!) that you enjoy it at least 25% more than you expected.

6.2. Except for payment on delivery or on account, the customer is under an obligation to payment in advance. In the case of payment on delivery or on account, the payment is due upon receipt of goods and invoice or billing.
7. Right of retention and retention of title
7.1. The customer is only authorised to exercise a right of retention in this respect where his counterclaim is based on the same contractual relationship.
7.2. We retain ownership of the delivered goods until payment has been made in full. In the event of recourse by third parties to retained goods, the customer shall refer to our ownership and will notify us immediately.
8. Requirement to give notice of defects, warranty
8.1. If the customer is an entrepreneur, he shall be obligated to examine the goods immediately for obvious defects. Notice of defects due to obvious defects must be given to us in writing within one week of delivery of goods to the customer. Hidden defects, which cannot be determined even after immediate and careful examination, are to be reported to us immediately in writing upon being detected, and no later than within one week following detection. To secure this time limit it is sufficient to send off the written notice of defects in good time. The assertion of warranty claims is excluded following the expiry of the above deadlines.
8.2. In the event of a defect the warranty is initially limited to the right to supplementary performance by us. We are entitled at our discretion to carry out subsequent improvement and/or a replacement delivery. If we fail to comply with this obligation within a reasonable period or subsequent improvement fails despite repeated attempts, then the customer is entitled to a reduction or to withdraw from the contract.
8.3. If the customer is an entrepreneur, then warranty claims shall expire one year from the delivery of the goods, unless we had acted with intention to deceive.
8.4. If the customer is a consumer, then the statutory warranty periods apply.
9. Liability
9.1. We are liable for breach of duty committed through gross negligence or intent.
9.2. If the customer is an entrepreneur, our liability is limited, at the time of entering into the contract and in the event of non-intentional acts, to typically foreseeable damages. In the case of slight negligence we shall be liable only for breaches of essential obligations under the contract and up to the amount of the typically foreseeable damages at the time of entering into the contract. We shall not be liable for other damages due to slight negligence that are caused by a defect in the goods. These limitations do not apply in the event of the loss of life, physical injury and damage to health. Possible liability for negligence precedent to the contract or under product liability law remains unaffected by these limitations of liability.
9.3. If the customer is a consumer, we shall be liable in the case of slight negligence only for breaches of essential obligations under the contract and up to the amount of the typically foreseeable damages at the time of entering into the contract. We shall not be liable for other damages due to slight negligence that are caused by a defect of the object sold. These limitations do not apply in the event of the loss of life, physical injury and damage to health. Possible liability for negligence precedent to the contract or under product liability law remains unaffected by these limitations of liability.
9.4. Regardless of any fault, we shall only be liable in the event of deceitful withholding of a defect or by acceptance of a warranty or guarantee. The manufacturer's guarantee is a guarantee from the manufacturer and does not constitute a guarantee provided by us.
9.5. We are also responsible for any impossibility of delivery that occurs incidentally during default, unless the damage or loss would have occurred even if the delivery had been made on time.
9.6. As far as the liability for compensation against us is excluded or restricted this shall also apply with regard to the personal liability for damages of our salaried staff, employees, associates, representatives and vicarious agents.

text: Gulls are seabirds. They are most closely related to the terns, and more distantly to the waders, auks and skimmers. The term gull refers to members of a group of 23 North American bird species that belong to the family Laridae, subfamily Larinae. Description Gulls are intelligent seabirds and one of the few avian species that thrive in areas of human activity. In the Great Lakes region of the United States, where herring and ring-billed gulls are most common, populations have increased by an estimated 10 percent every year since the 1970s. While some individuals enjoy the sights and sounds associated with the birds, most regard them as unwanted nuisances. Appearance Most gulls are white with gray or black markings. They have webbed feet, slightly hooked bills, and large wings. Gulls are excellent fliers and swimmers, which makes them perfectly suited for coastal living. They make a variety of cries, from high-pitched mewling squeaks to coarse squawks. Habitat Although the birds are best suited to life along shorelines and coastal waters, they are often seen in garbage dumps, on boardwalks, in parking lots, on rooftops, and wherever people feed them. The clever birds exploit available resources and will return to wherever they find food consistently available. Gulls are sometimes found inland living in farmer's crops and residential areas, as well. Entry Are gulls known to enter homes or yards? Gulls generally avoid coming inside buildings but do not hesitate to fly into yards or public spaces where food is available. Birds desensitized to human presence may even be bold enough to steal food from picnickers or people eating meals on patios at outdoor cafes. In the wild, most types of gulls prefer to nest in colonies on gravely beaches. The birds can be seen nesting on rooftops in urban areas, as well. Damage Do gulls harm people or property? When gulls nest on rooftops or chimneys, they can damage air filters, clog drains, and corrode metal equipment and paint finishes with their feces. Nesting gulls also have a tendency to dive-bomb people and pets. Common diseases carried by the birds include salmonella, campylobacter, cryptosporidium, giardia, and E. coli. In areas with beaches and boardwalks, gulls become nuisances when they aggressively steal food and defecate indiscriminately. Control and Safety Strictly enforcing feeding restrictions and removing access to other sources of food is the most effective way to control gull presence. Running reflective tape, playing recorded gull distress calls, or erecting fake owls, kites shaped like hawks, and fake coyotes can all be practical means of control as these scare the birds away. Finally, if gulls become fond of roosting on rooftops and chimneys, setting up bird spikes can be a helpful deterrent. Trapping and Removal Seabirds, such as ring-billed and herring gulls, are federally protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, which prohibits individuals from hunting, trapping, removing, or interfering with the nests of gulls without federal permits. If traditional frightening or exclusion tactics fail, individuals should call Critter Control to deal with problematic birds. We can help you get rid of gull problems. Call today: 1.800.274.8837.

49ers control their destiny in playoff pursuit
The 49ers not only control their destiny as far as securing a playoff spot, if they win their final two games, they will secure the coveted fifth seed in the NFC. There's a remote chance they will earn the top seed in the conference.
As it stands, the 49ers have the sixth seed because the two other teams with 10-4 records – the Panthers and Saints – beat San Francisco earlier this year. But Carolina and New Orleans will play each other this week. The winner likely will go on to win the NFC South and earn the No. 2 seed. Should the 49ers beat the Falcons next Monday night at Candlestick Park and beat Arizona in the finale, the Carolina-New Orleans loser probably will get the sixth seed.
If everything plays out as expected, the fifth seed will be the more coveted spot. If the 49ers are fifth and win their opening-round game, say in Detroit or Chicago, they will avoid having to play at the likely No. 1 seed, Seattle, in the second round.
The best, pie-in-the-sky, ain't-gonna-happen scenario for the 49ers is that they win their final two games, the Seahawks drop their final two, and the Saints and Panthers lose at least one more game. That would make the 49ers the NFC West champions, give them a first-round bye and secure the home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.
A more plausible path that avoids Seattle? The 49ers get the fifth seed and the Panthers the sixth. If both won in the opening round, San Francisco would head to New Orleans in the second round while Carolina would go to Seattle. The Panthers lost to the Seahawks in Charlotte, N.C., in Week 1, but the score was close, 12-7.
The Panthers and 49ers seem the most likely teams to upset the Seahawks, who have the best chance of obtaining the No. 1 seed.
And if both the Panthers and 49ers won in the second round? That would mean the NFC Championship Game would be at Candlestick Park, in its final season in the NFL.
The old girl may have one more classic in her yet.

The tube-type Linear Master Oscillators ("LMO") used in the Heathkit SB-Line equipment is a very stable and accurate means of controlling the frequency in the equipment. Unfortunately, as the units age, many LMOs develop a "warble" when tuning. This "warble" usually stops when the frequency control knob is not rotated. However, accurately "zero-beating" another station is made harder by this "warbling" and it is generally a major distraction from the otherwise excellent performance of the SB-Line equipment.
I was first licensed as a novice in 1958, and the WRL catalog was really dominant in those days, with the Globe King, Globe Champ, and all of the lesser models gracing its pages.

I have since collected most of the WRL catalogs from 1954 to 1964, and the last one turned out to be an interestin... READ MORE
