With the cloud computing market expected to grow rapidly, development of related technologies, infrastructure and software applications is looking promising. Growing adoption of cloud computing is also expected to bring opportunities to related hardware such as servers, network equipment and data storage.
Market research firm Forrester Research forecast in its recent report that the global cloud computing market will reach US$241 billion in 2020 compared to US$40.7 billion in 2010.
With strength primarily in hardware manufacturing, Taiwan is forecast to create a production value of NT$6.26 billion (US$217 million) for its cloud computing supply chain in 2011, up 24% from NT$5.04 billion last year, according to the Market Intelligence Center (MIC), a government-funded IT industry think tank. The production value will grow further to top NT$10 billion in 2013, MIC said.
Digitimes recently had a chance to talk to Leon Wang, senior supervisor of Marketing Center for NS Micro Motor Technology, about how the shift to cloud computing could open growth opportunities for his company. Specializing in the manufacture of computer fans and blowers, NS Micro Motor has expanded its product lineup specifically designed for use in cloud computing hardware. The following is an excerpt of the conversation.
Data center cooling for cloud applications
Computer cooling is required to remove the waste heat produced by components and keep them within safe temperature ranges. Heat sink and fan performance can be improved to deliver a reduction in power consumption and better heat transfer.
It is worth noting that servers, data storage devices and hardware that facilitate the functionality of a cloud computing network require more efficient cooling methods than other conventional hardware. A centrally-located server, for instance, contains a large number of computers and other power-consuming devices which could cause overheating of various components. Therefore, the required performance of cooling fans used in cloud computing infrastructure is usually 10-15% more superior to that in traditional infrastructure hardware.
In addition to enhanced cooling capacity that is being required, a longer lifespan is increasingly demanded for cooling solutions used in data center servers and mainframe hardware. As each computer or server has to operate 24 hours a day to enable broadband networking between user terminals and cloud computing systems, the stability of ICs and electronic components that run mainframe systems is fundamentally important. Energy saving is another focus, which is pretty much dependent on the performance of electric motors. The highest energy conversion efficiency achieved the more energy will be saved.
In short, cooling fans for cloud computing-related devices such as servers and power supplies are required to deliver high levels of reliability, efficiency and performance. To enhance product reliability, NS Micro Motor works to optimize its parts and materials selection and also improve its manufacturing capabilities. As for efficiency and performance, NS Micro Motor has offered products equipped with three-phase electric motors, which achieve higher power conversion efficiency than its previous-generation fans with single-phase motors, and generate the maximum possible torque.
Three-phase fan motors are widely used for CD-ROM and hard drive applications, and are priced 30% higher than single-phase parts. NS Micro Motor is shipping single-package cooling units equipped with three-phase motors, and also uses the solution for applications such as notebooks. Products built with three-phase motors account for 10-15% of company revenues at present.
R&D focus on breakthrough performance, efficiency and reliability
NS Micro Motor now offers three series of fan modules - PA, PS and PE. The PA and PS series cooling fans target power supplies and network equipment, respectively, while PE is used for data storage media, servers and network termination equipment. Among them, the PE series meets the stringent requirements for high performance, robust reliability and excellent energy efficiency thanks to its precise motor design, well-chosen set of components and carefully-monitored production process, making it ideal for cloud computing.
Through virtualization software, NS Micro Motor can optimize product performance with an aim to achieve the purpose of rapid cooling. In order to have the fans well controlled, the company has been making significant efforts to design closed-loop circuits and injecting adequate R&D resources to improve the accuracy of speed control.
In addition, NS Micro Motor has actively trained and encouraged its staff to innovate and become creative, expanding its talent pool. About three years ago the company opened an R&D center in Kaohsiung, southern Taiwan, to focus on the design and development of DC axial fans, PC-use motors and notebook fans. Currently about 20 of the company's staff members are stationed at the center. Combining employees at its headquarters and production base in Shenzhen, southern China, the total workforce tops 1,000.
A promising growth engine
NS Micro Motor's targeted cloud computing applications are servers, disk array chassis, power supplies and networking products. Having developed cooling solutions specifically for use in cloud computing infrastructure hardware since 2009, the company believes that its deployment in the sector will bear fruit in 2011. Currently NS Micro Motor is working with a client, which is likely to secure new orders through an open bid sometime in mid-2011. NS Micro Motor expects its shipments to the cloud computing sector to grow substantially later in 2011.
Driven by increased demand for cloud computing, NS Micro Motor projects that sales of its PE series fan modules will account for 20% of company revenues in 2011.

Hi - this is my wife's WIN7 White-box business PC. i7 with Asus B85M motherboard. Runs flawlessly, except it's recently picked up an annoying problem. The boot disk won't appear in any of the options for booting in the BiOS. Using BootitNG I can see that the boot disk is "Bootable" and Active. the auxiliary disk also shows up as "bootable" but not active, and BootitNG mentions that it may not boot WinNt properly. When I boot, I get the "booting windows" screen for several minutes, and then it boots fine. It doesn't matter if it just let it boot, or specifically select the proper boot disk - still takes minutes to come up, and the boot disk doesn't appear as a selection in any bios menus.
So how do I get the Bios to recognize the bootdisk (a recent vintage 2TB WD disk) as a boot disk?
Thanks VERY Much

There is a difference between jews and israelites.There was a holocaust thats for sure,millions of people died because of their religion.history will repeat itself if people dont learn there lessons,there was also a holocaust in ruanda,ex-yougoslavia and so one.There is no proof of the jews being persued by the pharao,egyptians wrote a lot and millions of people disappering would have been written down the babylon exile was not so huge(read the book of ShlomonSaud the invention of the jewish people).But then you get to how accurate the old testament was.Me personal i have no problems with jews i dislike what happens in palestine but that is a totally different matter.Its ridiculus to blame GOD/ALLAh for what people do to one another,a God that would willingly create horror like that is not my God.If i follow your way of thinking than all the suffering of people in syria,afghanistan,irac is punishment?Basicly most of arab country's are in no good condition,from a high civilised continent with thousand of writers and poets we changed to the continent where the least books are bought.We have no democraty,and selfish corrupt leaders,we kill eachother over small religious differences,and i suppose the americans are send by God to???Or doesAllah only punish jews?????Denying the holocaust is ignorant and really racist.Dont you see that what they said about jews ages ago is what they say about muslims now?Miss africa only your comment made me scratch my head?hebrew is the language of the jews,jesus was a jew,his name changed when it got translated to greek and latin later.I dont see your point.The word inbreed supposes a superiour race and that scary talk to me.

|Roger Davies
|Biographical information

|Family information
|Family members
Davies (possibly)
Roger Davies (born 1977 or 1978) was a wizard who was a Ravenclaw student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1989 to 1996. He was the Captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team and played Chaser. He is noted as being very handsome.
Early life and earlier Hogwarts yearsEdit
Roger was born c. 1977. He began attending Hogwarts around 1989 and was sorted into Ravenclaw house. He joined the Ravenclaw Quidditch team as a Chaser and eventually became their Captain.
Sixth yearEdit
In 1994, Roger was Fleur Delacour's date at the Yule Ball. He was very taken with the part-Veela witch's beauty and charm. He was so mesmerized, in fact, that he was looking at her the whole time and did not notice what she was actually saying, as well as repeatedly missing his own mouth with his fork while trying to eat. After dancing for some time at the ball, Roger and Fleur left for the gardens, sneaking into the rose bushes for a romantic engagement.[2]
Seventh yearEdit
According to Cho Chang, Roger asked her to go out with him shortly after the death of Cedric Diggory in June of 1995. She refused, as she was interested in Harry Potter at the time, though she brought this incident up to Harry when they went on a date in 1996 at Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop, apparently to make him jealous. Roger was also there with his own date for Valentine's Day; Harry watched them for clues as to what to do with Cho, whom he thought was eyeing Roger as if she wished she were with him instead.[3]
Behind the scenesEdit
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Roger Davies was played by Henry Lloyd-Hughes.
Means "famous spear" from the Germanic elements hrod "fame" and ger "spear". The Normans brought this name to England, where it replaced the Old English cognate Hroðgar (the name of the Danish king in the Anglo-Saxon epic 'Beowulf'). It was a common name in England during the Middle Ages.
- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (First appearance)
- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (film)
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
- Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (film) (Flashback on Disc 2)
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Appears in flashback(s))
- Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup
Notes and referencesEdit
- ↑ Roger must be older than Harry Potter, as Fleur Delacour dismissed Harry as a "little boy" but attended the Yule Ball with Roger in 1994. He was captain of Ravenclaw's Quidditch team from at least 1993 to 1996, making him approximately two years older than Harry.

Welcome to Project Car Hell, where you choose your eternity by selecting the project that's the coolest... and the most hellish! You want a project car that's different, don't you?
Of course you do! Oh, sure, you'd have fun with a Lotus Esprit or Fiat 124 Sport Coupe (incidentally, the Lotus beat the Fiat rather handily in the Choose Your Eternity poll), but you wouldn't have the pride of driving a
total oddball orphan genuinely unique machine. That's exactly what we've got for you today!
You may not have heard of Siata, but they were once legendary for their Fiat-based (and even Crosley-powered) sports cars. The Siata Spring was based on the rear-engined Fiat 850 chassis, and you'd have a helluva time finding one… until now. We've got this '69 Siata Spring (go here if the ad disappears), which seems to run and doesn't suffer from much rust. What could go wrong, then? Well, a weirdo conversion of a nervous Italian machine, done by a now-defunct company… do we need to draw a diagram? This thing is going to be a never-ending project, so you might as well start figuring out how to stuff a WRX engine in the back!
Normally we wouldn't consider a VW-engined Lamborghini copy to be a true Fauxborghini, but that rule wasn't made for the likes of this fine Belgian machine (go here if the ad disappears). I'm not so good at reading Dutch or French, but that doesn't matter much here. Just look at the photos and you won't care about the "chassi et moteur vw" part! It appears to be a particle-board and duct-tape interpretation of a Countach, no doubt built in a Belgian prison from smuggled-in components and based entirely on a verbal description of the original car. It's only 1,000 Euros, and you could make it your own! Thanks to Doede for the tip!

Oklahoma City BalletPrivate Company active 8 years, 10 months ago
The Oklahoma City Ballet's earliest beginnings were in 1963 as the Oklahoma City Civic Ballet. Located in the Science and Arts Foundation building on the Oklahoma City Fairgrounds, it was brought together by the foundation's civic ballet committee and chief benefactors, Mr. and Mrs. John E. Kirkpatrick. The company began under the artistic direction of Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo dancers Yvonne Chouteau and Miguel Terekhov.
The Oklahoma City Ballet Society was incorporated in 1967 to support the company. That same year the Ballet joined the newly formed Arts Council, Inc. and performed in the first ever Festival of the Arts celebrating Oklahoma's 60th year of statehood.
In 1970 the Board of Trustees formed a new group, Oklahoma City Metropolitan Ballet Society and with the generous support of Vernon Pellow, Sr. the company began as the Oklahoma City Metropolitan Ballet with Yvonne Chouteau staying on as founding artistic director. International ballerina and Oklahoma native Maria Tallchief worked together with Ms. Chouteau to audition dancers for the company.
The company has had outstanding artistic direction throughout its development. Chouteau was succeeded by New York City Ballet principal dancers Conrad and Joy Ludlow, who directed the Company from 1973-1979. The Ludlow's founded the company's affiliate school and joined Allied Arts. During this time the Company and School used the Oklahoma City University studios and performed at the Kirkpatrick Theater on the OCU campus.
In 1979 American Ballet Theater dancers Bojan Spassoff and Stephanie Wolf-Spassoff assumed direction of the Company. This was the beginning of the change from a Civic Company to a Semi-Professional Company which was now performing three productions plus The Nutcracker in a season. In 1980 the Company name was changed to Ballet Oklahoma and in the spring of '81 the Company moved into a newly renovated facility. The building was donated by Robert Hefner, III and a campaign to raise funds for renovations was chaired by Ann Simmons Alspaugh. Rand Elliott provided the architectural design and the renovations were completed by Bill McNatt Contruction. The company is still housed in this facility.
In 1983 New York City Ballet star Edward Villella joined the company as Artistic Director and directed the company for three seasons bringing the work or George Balanchine into the repertory. In 1986 Dallas Ballet dancers Bryan Pitts and Laura Flagg-Pitts joined the company as Artistic Director and Assistant to the Director respectively.
In 2008, for the first time, the company pulled from its own pool of talent by appointing former dancer Robert Mills the new Artistic Director and the name of the Company was changed to Oklahoma City Ballet. In 2009 the name of the affiliate school was changed to The Dance Center of Oklahoma City Ballet.
Oklahoma City Ballet's repertory includes works by George Balanchine, Helen Pickett, Lee-Wei Chao, Amy Seiwert, Perrot, Coralli, Fokine, Petipa, Bournonville, and Sparso and Mills. Oklahoma City Ballet has also presented special dance attractions as part of its role in serving the community. In the past, it has sponsored performances by Mikhail Baryshnikov, Rudolf, Nureyev, The San Francisco Ballet, Hubbard Street Dance Company, and Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre.
The Dance Center of Oklahoma City Ballet continues to provide superb training for students interested in becoming professional ballet dancers as well as for others who want recreational ballet classes. Students trained in the school have been regularly accepted into summer sessions and advanced classes at The School of American Ballet, Houston Ballet, Pacific Northwest Ballet, The San Francisco Ballet and others. Former students have gone on to professional careers with the Aspen/Santa Fe Ballet, Sacramento Ballet, and American Ballet Theatre among others, while some have gone on to "graduate" into the Oklahoma City Ballet as professional dancers in the company.
Oklahoma City Ballet is the resident dance company of the Civic Center Music Hall and tours as part of the Oklahoma Arts Council's touring program. It also tours under the auspices of the Mid-America Arts Alliance, the National Endowment for the Arts Dance Touring Program and the Heartland Arts Fund.
This is a private company. To join you must be a registered member and send request to join it.

Listening to Newtie blather on about foreign policy last night reminded me of his gooey, wannabe relationship with the military over the years. I wrote about it back in March of 2003:
Last week I wrote a post about the likelihood that Newt Gingrich is heavily involved in the actual war planning for the Iraq invasion. I had no proof other than some gossipy items in newspaper columns. However, I have since been informed that Newt has had almost unequalled influence in long term strategic military planning for many, many years.
And, when he introduced the Generals to his intellectual mentors in the early 1980's he began a revolution in military affairs that is playing itself out in the Iraqi desert at this very minute.
Last November, Newt spoke to the U.S. Joint Forces Command about the future of the military in the 21st century. He spoke of fast paced deployments, joint services, men on horseback with cell phones commanding B52's, "The Bridges at Toko Ri" and "The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean" and a whole lot of other stuff. It's quite a speech and he's given many just like it for the last 20 years.
… in 1979 as a freshman congressman … My dad retired as a lieutenant colonel, and here is a brigadier general [Donald Starry] in the United States Army asking me to advise on the core pattern of how you fight a battle. I promptly said to my staff, "Hold the phone calls, postpone my next appointment…He said, "We have a real problem." I whipped out a legal pad and said, "Now to understand what we're doing, let me share with you a framework so you can advise them." I was thrilled. Back then, this was pretty powerful, and he pulled out a little flip chart from his attaché case, and for 45 minutes he walked me through every battle doctrine.
[…] Now, the thing that actually sold me was when he left he had taken notes that would begin a dialogue which continued until 1987. I advised the Army's Training and Doctrine Command from the spring of 1979 through the fall of '87 on Army battle doctrine. Oh, and I guess in that sense the only elected member of Congress to have ever done anything quite like that.
He says in the same speech:
…my stepfather who was an infantryman who was stationed in Orleans, France, and he took me to the battle field for the Verdun, and we spent a weekend with a friend of his who had been drafted in 1941, sent to the Philippines, served in the Bataan Death March and spent 3 1/2 years in a Japanese prison camp. And at the end of the weekend of Japanese prison camp stories at night and Verdun battle fields during the daytime, I had this sense that this stuff's all real. People die, and not just in Tel Aviv malls, but, as we discovered on September 11th, in our biggest cities.
So I come down here with a passion which is the equivalent to the passion some of you may have felt in combat…
One supposes that those who have actually been in battle might feel differently, but there you have it. In any case, Newt has been advising the Army's Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) for many years, (where he also spent a lot of time talking politics apparently.)
He remains very active in military matters since he left office in 1998:
(June 18,2002) Command leaders briefed Gingrich, who was accompanied by the Commander in Chief of U.S. Joint Forces Command and Supreme Allied Commander, Atlantic, U.S. Army Gen. William Kernan and Deputy Supreme Allied Commander, Atlantic, British Admiral Ian Forbes, at the JFCOM Joint Warfighting Center.
During those early years in congress he was also heavily involved with some other big thinkers, the authors of the popular bestseller, "Future Shock," Alvin and Heidi Toffler. He introduced his good friends to the above mentioned General Starry in 1982 and they soon came to have an almost unimaginable influence on a certain group of military planners in creating a new military doctrine called alternatively "third wave" and "information warfare."
This doctrine relies on the Tofflers' thesis that the United States is in the midst of a transition between the 2nd wave industrial society and the 3rd wave information society. This concept is the single biggest influence on Newt Gingrich's "vision" and the military is the one place where Gingrich seems to have been taken very seriously as a planner and long term strategist from very early in his career. (At one time he had 5 active military officers serving on his congressional staff, a fact which raised eyebrows but since he was the Speaker nobody said much about the obvious conflict of active duty personnel directly involved in the political process.)
After the Gulf War the Tofflers wrote "War and Anti-War: Summit at the Dawn of the 21st Century," in which they claimed that the first Gulf War was the first war to occur between the 2nd wave and 3rd wave of civilization and was the greatest military victory in history. There were dissenters but many in the military began to plan along the lines that the Tofflers suggested developing a theory called Information Warfare.
In its most benign form it is merely a doctrine for attacking and defending the ever more important information systems (i.e command and control.) But the concept became merged with another doctrine called the Revolution in Military Affairs or RMA that includes the ideas of small, fast "niche" special forces, "information driven" airpower, psy-ops and propaganda and as Don Rumsfeld called it "Exquisite Intelligence." And these ideas are the basis for Rumsfeld's military transformation, including his personal favorite "effects based warfare."
To 3rd wave military enthusiasts, Information Warfare is the thrilling notion that:
"Information dominance is superior situational awareness applied to seize and maintain the initiative, influence the enemy's actions, and induce operational paralysis while denying your adversary the ability to do the same."
In other words, war as mind fuck. "Shock and Awe," falls into the Information Warfare doctrine with its psy-ops goal made possible by information driven precision weapons. IW relies upon the assurance that, in the face of proper information (i.e. the massive superiority of the offensive force) that logically the enemy will not fight. Well...
The target of information warfare, then, is the human mind, especially those minds that make the key decisions of war or peace and, from the military perspective, those minds that make the key decisions on if, when, and how to employ the assets and capabilities embedded in their strategic structures.
Newt put it more prosaically in a speech at the Hoover Institute last July:
…their [old] answer has been to design campaign plans that are so massive - I mean the standard plan in Afghanistan was either Tomahawks or 5 divisions, and that's why Rumsfeld was so important. Cause Rumsfeld sat down and said, "Well what if we do this other thing? You know, 3 guys on horseback, a B-2 overhead." And it was a huge shock to the army. I mean, because it worked. Now I'll tell you one guy who does agree and that's Chuck Horner who ran the air campaign.
You can still find people out there who are warriors who came up during the Reagan years, all of whom will say flatly to the Secretary of Defense, "The right model is simultaneous, massive, immediate combined air and land forces, period."
Now, many people see much of the Afghan campaign as a failed strategy, particularly the battle of Tora Bora, which was roundly condemned for its misjudgment of the Afghan "allies" and a failure to put adequate troops on the ground. (Sound familiar?) This was the battle from which Osama bin Laden was believed to have escaped. The guys on horseback with cell phones didn't quite get the job done.
After Operation Anaconda was proclaimed a victory, (why, we do not know) Junior turned to Condi and said "what's next?" Immediately, the planning began in earnest for the invasion of Iraq. News reports said that Rumsfeld and crew initially believed that the operation would only require 50-60,000 troops, in keeping with the rapid deployment of "niche" special forces theory. And although they were ultimately persuaded that a much larger force was needed, events of recent days suggest that the adjustment was badly planned and then micromanaged.
Perhaps most importantly, their exquisite intelligence was very selective:
Intelligence officials say Rumsfeld, his deputy Paul Wolfowitz and other Pentagon civilians ignored much of the advice of the Central Intelligence Agency and the Defense Intelligence Agency in favor of reports from the Iraqi opposition and from Israeli sources that predicted an immediate uprising against Saddam once the Americans attacked.
I do not know how much Gingrich has been involved with the war planning since 9/11. There have been numerous reports that he has been advising Rumsfeld and we know that he is a member of the Defense Policy Board. But, even if he isn't, in his own way, he has been as influential on the thinking in military affairs as any of the neocons (which he isn't, really) and his influence is being felt today and will continue to be felt for many, many years to come. He's the man who brought pop futurism into the American military and got a lot of people to believe that we can run the world militarily without having to commit human beings in great numbers to face the enemies that result from such adventures.
I have no great quarrel with the Tofflers. They are pop futurists and they have had an enormous influence on the way we think about change and the information age. But, it is truly amazing to me that their thesis has become a serious basis for military planning. While these concepts are intriguing and give one plenty of food for thought about how the future will play out, they are also extremely limited. Their prescriptions for how to deal with new challenges in a non-military sense are almost entirely utopian nonsense and have no practical application. There is no reason to believe that their thinking about military strategy is any more realistic.
In "Creating a New Civilization, The Politics of the Third Wave," the Tofflers define their ideas as this:
"The way we make war reflects the way we make wealth and the way we make anti-war must reflect the way we make war."
I know that I will always be grateful to Newt Gingrich for introducing that kind of clear thinking into our military back in 1983. We can only be more secure as a result.
This is the new would-be Anti-Mitt. Thank God his personality is so toxic that he's unelectable.

Psychiatric Patient Care
"People with diabetes have to watch their diet, exercise and take medication." According to professor Paula Trief PhD, consultant psychologist to University Hospital's Joslin Diabetes Center, diabetes is a disease where a merger of medicine and psychology can benefit patients. In the 1990s researchers found that patients with supportive partners fared better in adapting to the disease. "We wanted to take those findings further..." Read More >

BDP-83 24hz Output FAQ
BDP-83 FAQGeneral | Features | Performance | Hardware | Component Output | Firmware | Picture | Audio | 24hz Output | Source Direct | Media Files | Networking | UPnP/DLNA | Region Coding | Problems | Calibration
Questions frequently asked at AVSForum about the BDP-83.
What is 24hz output?
Until recently, DVD and Blu-ray players have produced 60hz signals in NTSC countries and 50hz signals in PAL countries. But film-based sources are recorded at 24hz and converting them to something else can produce motion artifacts. Many players now have the option of producing 24hz directly.
Can I use 24hz output?
Only if your display accepts a 1080p24 signal; check your display documentation. You should also verify that your display supports 1080p24 signals at multiples of 24hz. Some displays accept a 24hz signal but convert it to 60hz, which reintroduces the motion artifacts.
How to check this yourself:
- Set explicit 1080p HDMI output in the OPPO with 1080p/24 OFF.
- Play any normal, Blu-ray movie shot on film that has the typical, vertical credits scroll at the end. Scene select to the closing credits. Observe closely the vertical upwards motion of the credits.
- Now switch the OPPO to 1080p/24 Auto. Check that the front panel shows the OPPO as switching to 1080p/24 output. If the OPPO doesn't shift into 1080p/24 then your display (or AVR) is telling the OPPO it won't accept that. Some displays that do handle 1080p/24 input properly are known to not publish that fact to the player during the HDMI handshake. If you think that might be the case with your display, switch the OPPO to 1080p/24 ON. For 1080p/24 content coming off the disc, this will make the OPPO use 1080p/24 output even if the display says it does not want that. (You'll still get 1080p/60 if the disc contents are not appropriate for 1080p/24 output.) If you lose video, you can recover by using the Resolution button on the OPPO remote to switch to 1080i (press Resolution, press Down Arrow, press Enter), and then go turn 1080p/24 back OFF again.
- Presuming you can get 1080p/24 into your display at all, now recheck the motion of those scrolling end-credits. If your display is "doing the right thing" with 1080p/24 input, then the vertical scroll of those credits should appear as smooth motion. Switch back to 1080p/24 OFF (i.e., 1080p/60 output from the OPPO) and you should see a fairly subtle stepping or ratcheting upward of those credits instead of a smooth motion. That's the "cadence judder" you are trying to eliminate. Get up close to the screen to check this.
- If the display accepts 1080p/24, but the credit scroll doesn't get smoother when fed 1080p/24, then your display is not doing the right thing with 1080p/24. It is accepting it, but converting it to 1080p/60 on input. There may be a setting you need to change in your display to correct this.
How do I turn on 24hz output?
See the manual (Setup Menu Options / Video Setup / 1080p24 Output).
Can I force 24hz output?
Yes, as described in the manual (Setup Menu Options / Video Setup / 1080p24 Output). As it says there, if you force 24hz output and your display does not really accept it, you will get no video.
Can I get 24hz output for DVDs?
Yes, as described in the manual (Setup Menu Options / Video Setup / DVD 24p Conversion). I haven't tested this myself, but I hear reports that the way DVDs are authored sometimes prevents reliable 24hz playback.
Since the transition between /60 output and /24 output requires a new HDMI connection setup "handshake" (meaning a couple seconds of distorted video while the new connection -- and its copy protection -- gets established) the player will tend to stay in "convert to /24" mode after it sees enough film-based repeat cadence to begin doing this at all. This keeps you from having constant re-handshakes in and out of /24 on a flakey disc.
But it also means that a flakey disc may very well turn on /24 and then stick with it even though it can't really be converted in a pleasing fashion because it is more flakey than not.
The workaround is to turn off the DVD /24 option while playing that disc. The player will then stay in /60 output throughout the playback of that disc.
And even though the disc is flakey, the OPPO will switch rapidly between film-based and video-based deinterlacing as necessary so things will look way better than you might be used to from playing such a disc on some other players. That's a transition that does not require a new HDMI handshake.
Why is the DVD 24p Conversion option grayed out?
As stated in the manual (Setup Menu Options / Video Setup / DVD 24p Conversion) and (Setup Menu Options / Using the Setup Menu System) Setup -> Video Setup -> DVD 24p Conversion is disabled unless Setup -> Video Setup -> 1080p24 Output is set to On or Auto.

Fayette's varsity girls let North Central play along for a quarter last Tuesday, then the offense started to open up. The Eagles ended up with a decisive 50-18 BBC win.
"Overall it was a solid win," coach Ashley Oyer said. "The second half we really picked it up offensively."
Not only did the Eagles score 32 second-half points, they held the visitors to just nine.
Ball control was one reason for the second-half offensive.
"We took better control of the ball in the second half and had only five turnovers," Oyer said. "We looked to attack more in the second half, as well."
No one hit double figures and nine of 10 players put at least two points on the board. Heather Cuff and JeriAnn Lewellen each finished with nine and Elisha Hartman added eight with sharp four-for-five shooting.
Brittany Seiler led under the boards with 13 rebounds. Cuff finished with nine, while Trisha Bates, Amber Scott and Danni Wyse each collected six.
Lewellen and Seiler each made four steals. Bates and Wyse had two each. Cuff made three blocks.
The Eagles can just be glad it wasn't a close game or their six-for-27 showing at the line might have cost them a victory.
PETTISVILLE—The Eagles couldn't keep up with Pettisville's offense Friday, nor could they get their own scoring into gear.
The Blackbirds were on top 22-9 by half-time and finished it off with a 43-21 win.
Pettisville forced far too many turnovers and the Eagles never put up the shots they needed.
Seiler led scoring with only five points
• The Eagles travel to Edon on Thursday, then take a week off before a trip to Stryker.
JV GIRLS: Fayette's JV girls posted an easy 33-18 victory over North Central Jan. 13, but couldn't keep pace with Pettisville Friday, losing 46-33.
Nicole Shaffer finished with 12 points against North Central, helping her squad break out of a 4-4 first-quarter tie. Four Eagles scored in the third quarter as Fayette broke it open with a 13-4 advantage to lead 25-12.
Leah Brinegar added nine points and Tara Lichtenwald scored six.
Two players hit double figures in the loss to Pettisville as the Blackbirds spread scoring among eight girls.
Fayette kept it close for two quarters, trailing 19-15 at intermission, but Pettisville doubled up the Eagles points in the third quarter to pull ahead by 12.
Shaffer finished the game with 12 points and Brinegar added 11.
The Eagles had a strong five-for-six night at the free throw line.
After the third-quarter slump Saturday night, Fayette coach Todd Mitchell has a new plan for half-time.
"We might go over to the little gym next door and just keep playing," he said.
After building a 24-12 lead against Edgerton in the first half Saturday at home, the Eagles came out flat after the break, scoring just six points and giving the Bulldogs their biggest quarter of the game.
It was the biggest quarter until the fourth, that is.
"The fourth quarter was just crazy," Mitchell said.
Edgerton put 21 points on the scoreboard, but Fayette played right along and scored 22 of its own.
In the end, Fayette (5-5, 1-3) was on top of the non-conference contest, 52-44.
Shelby Franks finished with 17 points. Coty Griffiths was tops in rebounds with six. Evan Stoltzfus and Jason Rodriguez each collected four. The Eagles turned the ball over 12 times and scored 15 points from the line, although they connected on only 15 of 27 tries.
Rodriguez, Tyler Keefer and Eliott Richardson each took a charge call.
PETTISVILLE—Coach Mitchell can handle a dozen turnovers for a game, but 30? That's no way to win a game.
The Eagles had trouble with the defense of the undefeated Pettisville team.
The Blackbirds (9-0) got off to a big 23-14 start and kept piling on the points. Fayette had another slow third-quarter with only four points as Pettisville finished with a 70-44 BBC victory.
"You can't turn the ball over that many times against a team that good," Mitchell said. "We were outplayed in every aspect of the game."
Stoltzfus found his range from the outside and finished with four three-pointers and 14 points. Griffiths collected eight rebounds.
• Fayette entertains Edon on Friday and Holgate on Saturday. Homecoming is rescheduled Saturday at 5 p.m. before the JV basketball game.
JV BOYS: Close but not quite—twice in one week.
Fayette's JV boys fell Thursday to Pettisville, 42-36, then were tripped up by Edgerton at home Saturday, 39-36.
A final bucket could have tied it up against Edgerton, but the shot missed its goal.
The Eagles gave the Bulldogs too many second chances that resulted either in put-backs or trips to the foul line. For the game, Edgerton scored three more from the line than Fayette.
Trevor Cox paced the Eagle offense with 14 points. He also collected five rebounds.
At Pettisville, Hunter Colegrove went on a scoring binge in the final three minutes, racking up 11 of his 13 points, but it wasn't enough to catch the Blackbirds.
Fayette committed too many fourth-quarter turnovers, coach Matt Maginn said, and Pettisville was successful at the line, hitting 10 of 13 in the final period.
Cox scored eight and collected seven rebounds. Travis Kline had five rebounds. Jesus Moreno added six points.
"We played hard," Coach Maginn said, "we just fell short."
Morenci girls coach Jim Yatzek took the press off by half-time, eased out of the trapping defense in the third quarter, and used his bench—all three of them—liberally.
Still, the Bulldogs pummeled Britton (1-6) 52-16 last week in TCC action.
Yatzek said he was concerned about his team's energy level before the game started. With school canceled due to the cold and a road trip to the Tories' gym, he wasn't sure how the Bulldogs would respond.
What he got was a 19-point first quarter.
"We came out really strong," Yatzek said. "Britton played really hard but they just couldn't score."
Leading 35-11 going into the final quarter, he hoped to slow the game down and get in some practice passing the ball around and working for a good shot.
Instead, Britton turnovers led to Morenci fast breaks and the fourth quarter ended up with another big scoring drive.
The Bulldogs finished the night with 20 steals and many of them went in for lay-ups.
"It was a nice game for us with a lot of good things happening," he said.
Scoring was spread evenly with Mariah Bovee's 10 points leading the way. Jackie Paris and Tia Tompkins each scored nine. Nicolette Swimmer and Amy Gillman has eight each.
Chanler McCaskey collected five rebounds and six steals. Tompkins made seven steals and four blocks.
Coach Yatzek hopes the Bulldogs (3-4) can turn their season around, starting Tuesday when they travel to Whitmore Lake (1-7).
The JV game against Sand Creek was canceled. Britton has no JV team this season.
Morenci's varsity boys stayed ahead of Hudson for about four minutes Thursday, then they let it slip.
The Tigers (4-3) never gave up their lead after that and finished the non-conference contest with a 70-55 win.
Matt Hoadley got the Bulldogs' offense underway with a three-pointer on Morenci's second possession. He added a free-throw and another bucket before Clayton Wolf took over.
Wolf came through with a free throw, two buckets and a three, but the Tigers closed the quarter on top, 18-14.
Hudson had trouble putting the game away until late in the evening. A 13-point lead before half-time disappeared when Wolf hit a free throw and Brett Bovee canned a three-pointer at the buzzer.
Bovee cut the lead to seven points with three minutes to play in the third quarter.
Morenci was still within striking range with 5:25 to play after Anthony Tompkins hit two from the line for a 56-46 score. A minute later the Tigers were finally putting it away.
The Bulldogs missed shots on two consecutive possessions and turned the ball over on another and Tigers were soon out of reach.
Morenci scored 14 points from the line, but missed on another 14 tries.
Wolf led the Bulldogs' scoring with 19, followed by Bovee with 13 and Hoadley and Tompkins with nine each.
• Morenci went to Summerfield last night to face the undefeated Bulldogs from Monroe County. Whiteford (4-3) visits Friday.
Morenci's JV cagers started off with a 19-2 run against Britton Jan. 12 and finished with a 78-51 victory.
The action slowed for the Bulldogs in the middle two quarters due to foul trouble, but Morenci came on strong again at the end with a 25-point fourth quarter.
The Tories closed the gap to nine in the third quarter, but the Bulldog bench maintained the lead.
Morenci hit eight three-point shots in the first half and the outside shooters faced heavy coverage in the third quarter. Lucas Hollstein took over on the inside to score 16 of his 18 points.
Andrew White added 17 and Craig finished with 15.
Thursday at Hudson, the Bulldogs struggled with two starters out of the lineup, but held on for a 46-41 win.
Craig was hot from the outside again with five three's and 21 points. Alex Tompkins came off the bench to hit a pair of threes in the first half and Logan Drummond came in for the fourth quarter to help seal the win.
Hollstein faced heavy pressure from Hudson's taller team, but Drummond's height spread the coverage and the two combined for 16 points.
WRESTLING: Morenci's wrestlers claimed a pair of wins against Tri-County Conference foes two weeks ago, then turned around and lost to one of them a week later.
Sand Creek fell 51-18 and Madison was topped 40-36 when the Bulldogs traveled to Clinton Jan. 7. When Madison came to Morenci last week, the Trojans finished on top 40-34.
Morenci wrestlers scored six pins and a decision win against Sand Creek. The Aggies scored pins against Loren Delmonico (135 pounds) and Corey Williams (171) and added six points in a void win.
For the Bulldogs, pins were earned by Dustin Roller (130) at 2:31, Jeff Nofziger (140) at 1:38, Mitch Schmucker (145) at 2:26, Nate Grieder (160) at :22, Lucas Johnson (215) at 3:35 and Sam Majahrowski (185) at 1:37. Levi Hoffman (189) added three points with an 8-4 decision.
Against Madison, the Trojans took a six-point advantage in voids and claimed pins against Marcus Burciaga (103) and Delmonico. Grieder defaulted due to an injury.
Tyler Guelde won by void, and pins were earned by Roller at :59, Schmucker at :32, Johnson at 1:53 and Majahrowski at 3:26. Nofziger took a 21-8 decision.
Starting at 119 pounds last week, Madison went ahead 12-0 on voids before Roller took a 26-13 win. Delmonico was pinned and the Trojans shifted weight classes for a double void at 140.
Nofziger (145) earned a pin at 1:21 and Schmucker (152) lost 12-2 and suffered a season-ending injury. Williams and Grieder were both pinned, adding 12 more points the visitors' commanding lead.
Bach pinned at :36, Johnson followed with a pin at 1:57 and Majahrowski earned a pin at :31, but it wasn't enough to close the gap. Burciaga was pinned and Guelde's void win made it the final 40-34.
The Bulldogs are still winning more than losing on an individual basis, coach Scott Clark said. They'll get their strongest test of the season Saturday at Hudson's big individual tournament. Clark figures it will be the toughest event of the season until the state tournament.
Roller's record stands at 18-1 and Nofziger's at 17-1. Johnson is at 12-3 and Majahrowski is at 12-4.
BOOSTERS: Varsity football coach, Tom Saylor, will be a guest speaker at the next Morenci Athletic Boosters meeting, at 7 p.m. Monday in the high school library. Saylor will discuss fund raising ideas and his ideas for the football program.
Parents of middle school and high school athletes as well as anyone interested in the school sports programs are encouraged to attend.
The Boosters meet on the fourth Monday of each month.
Booster club members discuss the needs of the school's athletic programs and decide how the needs might be filled.

Northern Butler County remains under a flood warning until 11:45 a.m. today. The warning for southern Butler County is in effect until 9 a.m. today.
Moderate to heavy rain is expected as remnants of Tropical System Gordon pass through the region.
In all, as much as 5 to 6 inches of rain are expected to have fallen in the county by the end of the day, according to the National Weather Service in Pittsburgh. Widespread flooding is possible.
Numerous roads have been closed in the county due to swollen creeks and streams. Flooded basements and downed trees and wires are also keeping volunteer firefighters, street departments and utility crews busy.
Butler County's Water Rescue Team 300 has been deployed on a number of calls overnight and into this morning.
Inflatable boats were used about 12:15 a.m. to rescue three people stranded by flooded Breakneck Creek around their home on Twin Lakes Road off Textor Hill Road in Jackson Township.
"The house was surrounded by about 4 feet of water," said Mark Adomaitis, head of Team 300.
Shortly after 1 a.m., a motorist was trapped in water on Glennwood Way near Route 38 in Center Township.
Later in the morning, two people in a vehicle needed to be rescued on Route 38 near Vin & Joe's in Summit Township around 5:30. That part of Route 38 remains closed to traffic.
Emergency crews were also dispatched shortly before 7 a.m. to help evacuate a patient at a nursing home on Evergreen Mill Road in Jackson Township, which had been cut off due to flooding.
The National Weather Service reported that of 8:30 p.m. Sunday, the rainfall in Butler was more than 3˝ inches.
Meteorologist Shannon Hefferan said about 7 a.m. that another inch to 1˝ inches of rain was likely through the rest of the day.
"But the heavier band (of rain) is starting to move out," she said. By Monday evening, light showers are forecast.
The rain is expected to be "completely out," she said, "by (Tuesday) morning."

BANGALORE (Reuters) - Naveen Rabelli's tuk-tuk broke down the first time he rolled it out of his garage. The electrical engineer didn't lose heart: now, he plans to drive his customized three-wheeler all the way to London.
Rabelli will leave India next year on a 6,000-mile (9,600-km) odyssey through 10 countries to promote the idea of environmentally friendly travel. His tuk-tuk, or auto rickshaw, is powered entirely by electricity and solar power.
"What better way is there to travel? The tuk-tuk is an Indian icon and this vehicle does not pollute the air in any way," Rabelli, 33, told Reuters as he rode alongside a lake in the southern Indian city of Bangalore.
Since quitting his job with Reva, a unit of Indian car maker Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd that makes electric vehicles, Rabelli has spent two years tinkering with his second-hand tuk-tuk.
Equipped with a new motor, battery and gearbox, the bright red vehicle - named Tejas, a Sanskrit word meaning splendor or brilliance - now bears little resemblance to the sputtering, diesel-fueled three-wheelers ubiquitous on India's roads.
A tonne when fully loaded, it weighs double a normal auto rickshaw. Its roof is made entirely from solar panels and cloth drapes protect its open sides from the elements.
Eight hours of battery charge will carry the tuk-tuk fewer than 50 miles, while five hours' exposure to the sun will allow Tejas to push on for another 16 miles. That's a lot of recharging stops on the road to London.
The project has already cost Rabelli his life savings of about $6,000. Before he leaves, he needs to raise more cash to reinforce the tuk-tuk's rickety flooring and to buy a lithium-ion battery to replace the old lead-acid power source.
He says, however, that his vehicle is more economical than a typical auto rickshaw: the solar-electric variant can run 100 km on less than a dollar, while a tuk-tuk running on diesel would require about $4 to go the same distance.
Rabelli plans to ride his tuk-tuk from Bangalore to Mumbai, before putting it on a boat to Iran. Picking up the journey on the Persian Gulf, he will ride to Turkey before crossing into Bulgaria and heading across Europe to the French port of Calais.
For most of the journey, Rabelli and travel companion Raoul Kopacka will sleep on mattresses in the back of the tuk-tuk.
Rabelli said he chose Kopacka, who plans to film a documentary of the journey, ahead of other applicants because the 26-year-old Austrian is just short enough to lie down full-length in the back of the vehicle.

I am a serial entrepreneur in my 60's with training as an engineer, and careers in finance and energy. This is the second clean energy company i have started.
40% of the world energy demand is met by coal fired plants. No matter how hard we try, the world cannot stop burning coal for at least the next 50 years and probably 100!. Too many environmentalists and politicians have turned their backs on this issue and very few people are working to make the existing coal plants greener. In the US, new environmental legislation is trying to force coal plants to close when there is no available green source to take up the slack.
Our products can cost effectively provide cleaner solid fuels that burn efficiently in the present coal boiler infrastructure. Coal burning plants using our fuels need less costly back end scrubbing. and have consequent reductions in green house gasses from two sources - efficiency and burning renewable fuel. We are engineers, concerned about the future, and dedicated to finding solutions that work today, as well as 10-20 years from now.
Burning biomass does not work efficiently in many existing coal plants without costly modification. Carbon capture and storage does not work on any existing coal plant and will require new, very expensive plants to be built that will produce far less power per ton of coal burned than conventional coal fired plants.
Prospective commercial, industrial, and utility clients; government regulators; government grant making bodies; potential funding sources. We need a logo that looks green and clean, and evokes a modern image in an old stogy industry that is exceedingly reluctant to change. We need government people to sit up, take notice and want to know more about what we do and how we do it. We need younger, environmentally sensitive people to become curious about necessary solutions rather than dismissing all coal burning as bad.
We need people to understand that EVERY other fuel - from hydro to natural gas, to diesel, to nuclear is cleaned and prepared before it is used. Only the coal industry burns fuel straight out of the ground, and the coal industry must take responsibility for the cleanliness of its fuel. We have the technology to do that.
Our audience will be international, and we should be sensitive to cultural and language differences.
Logo in a user friendly digital format - JPG, BIT, TIF, etc. Should be scalable so that it can be used for high quality graphics, or used in an email without becoming a bandwidth hog.
I would eventually like to use the logo on web site, business cards, letterhead, presentations, etc.

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Los Angeles Angels hitting coach Don Baylor broke his right leg while catching Vladimir Guerrero's ceremonial first pitch Monday night.
Baylor will have surgery Tuesday on his right femur.
The injury cast a pall over opening day at Angel Stadium. Baylor had to be helped off the field after squatting to catch Guerrero's throw, and he was taken to a hospital while the Angels faced the Seattle Mariners.
The 64-year-old Baylor left the Arizona Diamondbacks in the offseason to return to Anaheim, where he played six seasons with the California Angels. He is the former manager of the Colorado Rockies and Chicago Cubs.
Baylor and Guerrero are the only AL MVPs in Angels franchise history. Baylor won the award in 1979.

Apple, Google and Samsung are all said to be working on smartwatches. This is shaping up as yet one more example of Microsoft getting to a market first and then failing to cash in.
Various reports say Apple is working on what would presumably be called the iWatch. Because we're talking about Apple, there has been no confirmation of those reports, but as many as 100 product designers are said to be hard at work on it. Google's Android division may also be working on a smartwatch. Its offering, sources say, would work not only with Android smartphones and tablets, but with Google Glass as well. And Samsung has confirmed that it's working on a smartwatch.
With so much activity focusing on the intersection of technology and the human wrist, Microsoft is paying attention and is said to be making its own moves toward developing a smartwatch. But in Microsoft's case, that should read "developing a smartwatch again." That's because Microsoft pioneered smartwatches years ago, and then abandoned the concept.
Nearly two decades ago, in 1995, Microsoft and Timex co-developed the Timex Data Link watch, which wirelessly downloaded and displayed data from Windows-based PCs. Though worn by both astronauts and cosmonauts on space missions and given Popular Science's Best of What's New Award and the Popular Mechanics 1995 Design and Engineering Award, it never made a dent in the market, and Timex and Microsoft abandoned it. Then in 2003, Microsoft launched its Smart Watch, which delivered news, weather, traffic information and more over FM frequencies. The Smart Watch was based on Microsoft's Smart Personal Objects Technology (SPOT), which was meant to be applied to an entire fleet of gadgets, from coffee makers to GPS devices.
That never happened. The watches were bulky and expensive (one model sold for $800), and the SPOT service required a $59 annual subscription. In 2008, Microsoft stopped selling the watches, while still supporting transmissions to existing ones. At the end of 2011, it pulled the plug entirely.
Now, in 2013, Microsoft finds itself not at the vanguard of a burgeoning trend, but playing catch-up. The Wall Street Journal says Microsoft has contacted parts suppliers in Asia to ship components for a smartwatch. No doubt the company has seen Gartner's estimate that the wearable electronics market will reach $10 billion by 2016.
Why is Microsoft following and not leading? One reason is that there's a disconnect between its substantial research capabilities and its product development efforts. Microsoft far outspends Apple and Google on research and development -- its $9.4 billion budget is nearly double Google's $5.2 billion and more than triple Apple's $2.6 billion, according to S&P Capital IQ -- and it has been the company with the world's largest R&D budget for the past 12 months. Clearly, Apple gets a far bigger bang for its buck when it comes to matching research to product development.
Another problem is Microsoft's protect-your-own-turf culture, which makes it difficult for it to develop products that span departments. And it doesn't help that Microsoft demands that all its products lead back to Windows. That bit of turf-guarding holds back innovation.
This all reminds me of what happened with smartphones and tablets. In both cases, Microsoft had the jump on Apple but couldn't cash in. It's hard to believe that things will be different this time.

Although substantive competition law has been largely "Europeanized", procedural law comes, for the most part, under the autonomy of the Member States and, for a long time, thinking on the procedural aspects of competition law's application had not been in the focus of the European scholarship. Nonetheless, recently, "procedure" became one of the most topical issues of European competition law and came to the fore of the scholarly discourse. This edited volume addresses the above subject's pan-European framework and its Central European perspectives with the purpose of channelling the region's experiences into the European discourse. The book's first part (Section 1) examines the general issues of the procedural aspects of competition law's application, while Sections 2 and 3 analyse the administrative competition procedure (and judicial review) and the legal consequences of breaching competition rules in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia.

When is the best time of day to take Testosterone?
Consistency is key when it comes to taking any hormone replacement, and many bodybuilders believe that taking Testosterone in the morning allows them to maximize their potential for muscle growth and fat loss.
Often times, they stack Testosterone with HGH (a peptide hormone) because of the synergy created.
Although it should be noted that taking performance levels of HGH can lead to carpel tunnel syndrome or even hypothyroidism, which makes HGH-X2 a much safer alternative to HGH.
Testosterone, too, comes with the risk of significant side effects. Bodybuilders around the world have cycled with Testo-Max, a safer steroid alternative, and have been surprised by the results.
Like Testosterone, HGH-X2 can be taken in the morning, approximately 20 minutes before eating breakfast.
Testo-Max on the other hand is often taken right before a workout. Buy Testo-Max online here.

Of course, the forums are filled with men who have successfully given themselves Testosterone injections in the afternoon or evening.
But biology may have a few reasons for taking Testosterone in the morning.
Some of the reasons bodybuilders often cite for taking Test in the morning include:
Mimicking the body's Testosterone levels: Because the body's natural levels of Testosterone are highest in the morning, taking Testosterone in the morning, shortly after waking up, helps to mimic the regular levels of hormones.
Reducing soreness: Men who use Testosterone injections might be subject to soreness at the injection site.
Like any injection – vaccine or steroid – pain is often minimized by moving the muscle or massaging it. If an injection is administered in the morning, that allows the user much more time to move the muscle and therefore potentially reduce soreness.
An injection immediately before bed removes the option of massaging or moving the muscle for the entire night.
Moving the oil throughout the body: Another reason why many Testosterone uses prefer morning injections is that it gives the opportunity to move the oil (of the injection) through the muscle more quickly.
For this reason, men choose to inject Testosterone into the muscle in which they will be working that day. For instance, on leg day, men may opt to inject into their gluts.
However, on arm day, he may choose to inject into his deltoids.
Warm muscles: The consensus among Testosterone users is that a warm muscle is easier to inject into, and muscles can be easily warmed up in a hot shower.
For this reason, many men prefer to inject Testosterone in the morning right after a hot shower.
While Testosterone can be injected to any a wide range of muscle, the most popular choices seem to be the glutes and the shoulders. Other possible muscle choices include:
As a naturally occurring hormone, Testosterone is vital to a man's overall sense of well-being.
In fact, Testosterone plays many important roles in a man's body including:
Without sufficient levels of Testosterone, a man may experience erectile dysfunction, insomnia, loss of muscle mass, mental fuzziness, and even depression.
Low testosterone can also lead to loss of bone mass, anxiety, infertility, and diabetes.
For these reasons, healthcare providers monitor hormone levels in men and will prescribe Testosterone as a therapy if needed.
However, the Testosterone injections are not necessarily the only way to increase Testosterone levels.
Of course, if you are taking Testosterone Cypionate (the most commonly prescribed form of Test for therapies) injections as part of a Testosterone therapy, be sure to follow any and all guidelines provided to you.
However, because Testosterone Cypionate is not legal for personal or recreational use, it is considered an illegal anabolic steroid; it is also difficult to find pharmaceutical grade Test Cyp on the black market.
In addition to the risk of purchasing contaminated gear, purchasing and using Testosterone without a prescription is illegal.
Unless you have prescription, it is much safer and easier to opt for a natural Testosterone booster. Two commonly used boosters are:
Just like taking Testosterone in the morning was seemingly advantageous, taking D-aspartic acid in the morning is also said to be beneficial.
Remember that a man's natural Testosterone levels are highest in the morning so taking a booster in the morning helps to work with the body's natural production of Testosterone.
Men who have chosen to use this supplement agree that it should be taken with breakfast on non-training days.
For training days, take the supplement about 45 minutes before the workout to take full advantage of the stimulant effects of this supplement.
Tribulus Terrestrus is an Ayurvedic herb, and it is commonly taken by men seeking a libido boost.
In addition to improving a man's sex drive, the herb is also believed to boost Testosterone levels.
In fact, a study from Southern Cross University in Wales, Australia revealed that when rugby players took Tribulus Terrestrus they saw an increase in strength as well as impressive muscle growth in an average of 5-28 days.
Like D-aspartic acid, tribulus terrestrus is a legal supplement which requires no prescription.
Like taking Testosterone and D-aspartic acid, taking Tribulus Terrestrus also seems to carry benefits to an AM dose.
For those that opt for this Ayurvedic herb, it is suggested to take first thing in the morning on an empty stomach with water.
Note: reviewers of this booster caution potential users about the strong earthy taste.
Regardless of whether a bodybuilder takes Testosterone or a booster, consistency is vital to any goal that person may have.Best Time Day Take TestosteroneHow Do You Know if You Need More TestosteroneHow Fast Does Testosterone Build MuscleHow to Build TestosteroneHow to Get TestosteroneHow to Increase TestosteroneHow to Increase Testosterone After 40How to Take TestosteroneIs Testosterone Safe

DELTONA, Fla. – A local firefighter accused of raping and choking a woman denies the allegations, but deputies arrested him after his own statements began to crumble.
Terry Freeman II, 32, is a Deltona firefighter accused of raping a woman he met while shopping for furniture with his girlfriend.
According to an arrest report, the woman said she agreed to meet Freeman at his Orange City house after they met at the furniture store where she works.
Volusia County deputies confronted Freeman with the allegations while he was on duty at his fire station. They interviewed him at the Sheriff's Office next door, and according to the report, the victim said he "grabbed her by her throat" and raped her and later asked if he could see her again, to which she responded "probably not" and walked out the door.
The report said the victim told Freeman she did not want to have sex and repeatedly said "no" and "stop."
Freeman submitted to a lie detector test performed by a Computer Voice Stress Analyzer, but the results were inconclusive.
Freeman initially denied raping her in the report, and said, "This was not sex," but investigators doubt his version of events saying they were inconsistent. Now he's in jail without bond.
Deputies said he's been a firefighter for the past year, but it's still unclear if he still has his job with the Deltona Fire Department.

Optimum/Carver Public Housing Economic Empowerment Tour
adminMarch 01,2009
With the rates of unemployment at an all time high, homes in foreclosure, credit plummeting, and the economy is in a mess, the dire need for financial literacy is crucial to the vitality of our nation – especially in our Public Housing Communities.
Common with financial strife, the Public Housing Community only experiences additional obstacles during this time period of economic recession. Currently, these residents are struggling, due to their personal financial circumstances, as well as their housing circumstances. Rent is rising within public housing, federal funding is gone and state funding has run out. Therefore, rates are being inflated in order to push residents out. The overall agenda is to use prime real estate to create different property, such as highrise condos and other high-income residences. Public Housing Communities have limited resources or options and the majority of the community is oblivious to what is happening around them. Carver Bank teamed up with Optimum Capital Management and launched the Public Housing Economic Empowerment Tour to build a catalyst of hope, opportunity and most importantly, education to individuals in the Public Housing community.
With a successful tour of the Brooklyn Public Housing areas, the Optimum-Carver Public Housing Economic Empowerment Tour as now moved to Harlem, New York.
Tuesday February 17, 2008 and Thursday February 19, 2008, The Public Housing Tour visited the Manhattanville Community Center and Clinton Center in Harlem, New York. In today's society, there are endless reasons for financially empowerment. There are limited resources within these communities, The Public Housing Tour Provided the resources. They have also recently brought the Tour to
Ryan Mack, CEO of Optimum Capital Management conducted an informational session on the basics of finance. With a mature audience, Mr. Mack discussed general issues in the community such as the avoiding the financial traps of check cashing places, Rent-A-Centers and The Rush Card. Also the improvement of credit and credit card management were discussed according to the preference of the audience.
Lloyd Cambridge, CFO of Optimum Capital Management discussed the importance of ownership and the proper use of power. Change starts within the house hold; therefore as the family gets educated, it can encourage teamwork, as well as financial stability. The purpose of money is to essentially build, consume and to give. Individuals should take responsibility of and have the knowledge to manage their assets and capital, properly distributing their money creating power and ownership within the community. Building businesses, and expanding possibilities. Lloyd provides resources for starting businesses and family empowerment.
Damon Jenkins, President of TSD Construction, provided the uplifting story of perseverance. Growing up in public housing himself and serving time in prison has not stopped Jenkins from starting his own company. Offering job training and opportunities within his company, his encouraging story is the perfect example of knowledge building power and power creating endless possibilities.
All About Business, Optimum Capital Management's Financial Literacy group exponentially represents the power of youth within today's society. Marquise Terry (Co-Founder of AAB) and Claressa Garcia (Communications Director of AAB) have been teaching financial literacy to both teens and adults. Each with a compelling story to tell, Terry and Garcia are empowering youth by spreading economic empowerment information within their community and beyond.

Workday Expected to Price IPO Today, Start Trading Tomorrow
It's looking like Friday will be the long-awaited day in the sun for Workday, as the cloud software company is expected to price today and see its shares begin trading sometime tomorrow.
The offering is expected to raise upward of $591 million, and it should command a market capitalization of about $5 billion after trading of its shares begins on the New York Stock Exchange.
The company specializes in human resources software that runs in the cloud, and has a lot of buzz owing much to the story of its origins. Co-founders and co-CEOs Aneel Bhusri and Dave Duffield ran PeopleSoft, a human resources software concern that was targeted for a hostile takeover by Oracle and its CEO Larry Ellison in 2005.
A lot of people have focused on Workday as being something of a revenge project for Bhusri and Duffield, but the pair have tended to dissuade that view. "We don't think about Larry or have any animosity. …You have to bless Larry's heart for giving us this opportunity. I would never have been part of this Workday thing without Larry," Duffield told Bloomberg Businessweek over the summer.
But it's clear that Ellison has been thinking about Workday. He never misses a chance to disparage it, as he did at D:All Things Digital in June. And according to a count by Bloomberg TV, Ellison has mentioned Workday eight times in Oracle earnings calls, as many as he has another rival, Salesforce.com.
As the old saying goes, there's no such thing as bad publicity, and when someone like Larry Ellison kicks you in public, people are going to wonder what all the fuss is about. The fuss, it turns out, is real, though not yet sizable.
According to its latest filings with the SEC, Workday has 340 customers, most of them large companies, among them electronics manufacturing giant Flextronics, the Four Seasons hotel chain, insurer AIG and consumer-health giant Kimberly Clark. Workday says its largest deployment is with a customer with a workforce of more than 200,000 people. And another, potentially bigger one, is on the way: Hewlett-Packard CEO Meg Whitman also disclosed last week that HP is deploying Workday, and it has a global work force north of 300,000. Google is a new customer, too.
While that all sounds impressive, and seems like an excellent indicator of momentum, Workday is still relatively small. It reported revenue that was just shy of $120 million in the first six months of the year, and if it finishes the year at double that figure, it doesn't appear quite muscular enough to pose much of a threat — at least not yet — to Oracle, whose applications software business, including HR apps, was $3 billion in 2012.
However, the story about Workday is less about what it is today than about what it could become in the next few years. A more accurate measure of that potential is bookings — essentially the combined value of multiyear contracts. By that measure, Workday is more impressive: Bookings are on track to break the $500 million mark this year.
Workday's advantage is that it is supposedly cheaper to operate than the older, established way of installing software on company-owned systems. Customers never have to actually touch cloud software, and therefore don't have to pay for the ongoing service and support contracts that come with software that runs the old way.
The fundamental pivot toward running applications in the cloud is making many converts. Oracle just spent most of last week talking about how its applications — including its HR software — can run purely on a software-as-a-service basis, or installed on hardware that the customer owns, or in a flexible mix-and-match manner.
So, while Workday may not overtly be about "revenge of the PeopleSoft guys," its brewing matchup with Oracle, if nothing else, will bear watching in the months and years to come.
