Creighton WBB downs South Dakota State, 63-54
Behind a career-high 11 points from senior Jasmin Corbin, the Creighton women's basketball team defeated South Dakota State 63-54. The win lifted the Bluejays to 1-1 on the season, while the Jackrabbits fell to 1-2.
After junior Alyssa Kamphaus got the Jays on the board first in the opening minute with a bucket down low, SDSU rattled off five straight to claim a 5-2 edge with 17:53 to go in the opening period. Senior Ally Jensen rallied her troops with a three-pointer, igniting an 11-0 run over the next two minutes. Juniors Carli Tritz and McKenzie Fujan each added three points during the run, while Corbin capped the run with a layup to make it 13-5.
Following another Jackrabbit burst that cut the Jays' lead to 13-11, junior Sarah Nelson gave the Jays some distance with a bucket followed by two free throws. Creighton went on to extend its lead to as much as 11 points at 27-16 and took a 27-19 lead in at halftime.
South Dakota State displayed the resolve expected of a conference champion, opening the second half on a 10-5 run to pull within three at 32-29. Corbin responded with her first trey of the evening to push the Jays back out by six, but SDSU's Megan Waytashek answered with a three-pointer to make bring the game to 35-32.
Once more the Bluejays responded with a 9-1 run behind buckets by A. Jensen, Kamphaus and Nelson and finally another three-pointer by A. Jensen to make it 44-33 with 10:16 to go.
The Jackrabbits had one more run left in them keyed by a zone defense that plagued the Jays in the final moments of the first period. South Dakota State employed a 2-1-2 zone to force three turnovers and get back within striking distance at 50-46.
Once more it was Corbin who answered the call, draining back-to-back trifectas to shoot the Jackrabbits out of the zone defense. Corbin's final three gave her a new career-high of 11 points as she propelled the Jays to the nine-point win.
Tritz led the way for Creighton with 13 points, while Corbin and Nelson each finished with 11 points. Corbin also posted a career-high six steals, while Kamphaus and A. Jensen led the Jays with seven rebounds.
Waytashek led South Dakota State with 14 points, while Gabrielle Boever chipped in 10 points.
Creighton returns to action on Tuesday, Nov. 20 as the Jays travel to Vermillion, S.D. to face the USD Coyotes at 7 p.m.

An Auburn man is facing charges of motor vehicle homicide and driving under the influence of alcohol as the result of an early Sunday morning accident on Interstate 290.
Keith M. Leblanc Jr., 26, of Auburn, was held on $20,000 cash bail after his arraignment in Central District Court this afternoon. That bail was later reduced to $12,500 in a bail hearing in Superior Court.
At the district court arraignment, Assistant District Attorney Jeffrey Travers said Mr. Leblanc was driving a black Jeep on Interstate 290 in Auburn at 4:30 a.m. Sunday when he rear-ended a Nissen bread truck being driven by a 45-year-old man from Putnam. The victim is identified in court records as Duane Race. He was was thrown 80 to 100 feet from his vehicle, landing in the middle of the highway. A passer-by tried to revive him.
Mr. Race was rushed to UMass Memorial Medical Center — University Campus in Worcester with critical injuries. A spokesman for Worcester District Attorney Joseph Early Jr. said Mr. Race died in the hospital today.
Police said Mr. Leblanc drove away from the scene of the accident. Witnesses said the Jeep was heavily damaged, emitting smoke and leaking fluids. Auburn police followed the trail of leaking fluids to Mr. Leblanc's home, at 25 Barbara Ave.
When interviewed by police, Mr. Leblanc admitted he had been driving at the time of the accident, and that he had consumed two alcoholic drinks before getting behind the wheel. He failed a field sobriety test administered by police; he could not stand on one foot without swaying. Mr. Leblanc refused to take a walking field sobriety test, and refused to take a Breathalyzer test at the state police barracks in Holden.
In addition to two charges of motor vehicle homicide (one by driving under the influence of alcohol, and the other by negligent driving), Mr. Leblanc was charged with leaving the scene of an accident that caused personal injury or death; using a motor vehicle in commission of a felony; driving under the influence of alcohol; and a number of moving violations.
Attorney Michael C. Wilcox told the court that Mr. Leblanc is a 2005 graduate of Bay Path Regional Technical High School in Charlton and is employed at Johnstone Supply as well as another job, working 60 to 70 hours a week.
"He's a hard-working young man, beloved by his family and friends, many of whom are in the courtroom today," Mr. Wilcox said.
He said Mr. Leblanc suffered a head injury in the accident, and that he should not have been allowed to take the field sobriety tests that police administered to him in Mr. Leblanc's driveway.
"This was a tragedy, an accident that occurred," Mr. Wilcox said.
At times, Mr. Leblanc appeared emotional as he looked over at his family and friends seated in the courtroom.
After the arraignment, his family and friends declined to comment.
Mr. Leblanc, should he be able to post the $12,500 bail, would have to wear a GPS monitoring bracelet, report weekly to the Probation Department, remain drug- and alcohol-free, and submit to random screenings for drugs and alcohol.
His next court date is Dec. 12.

Fast starts are crucial for confidence of young clubs
Mariners (3-0), Astros (2-0) and White Sox (2-0) setting positive foundation
Starts matter. Of course they do.
For some more than others -- for instance, if a team has endured a tough couple of seasons. Right away, a good start can set a different tone, send a message that all the talk during Spring Training about new beginnings wasn't just hot air.
The Seattle Mariners needed this 3-0 record. The Houston Astros and Chicago White Sox are 2-0, and with all their changes and youth and all their planning for the future, it's great to allow the kids to experience the vibe of a winning clubhouse.
The Tigers needed 2-0, too. With Brad Ausmus taking over for Jim Leyland, with Prince Fielder gone, Detroit probably needed this little bit of positive reinforcement here at the start of things.
First, the Mariners: They're the best story of these first few days after a road sweep of the Angels. Now, they head to Oakland for four games and a chance to keep it going. Regardless, 3-0 is important.
Even after adding Robinson Cano, Logan Morrison, Fernando Rodney and Corey Hart, plenty of people thought Seattle still wasn't good enough. There didn't seem to be enough starting pitching behind King Felix and Hisashi Iwakuma, and with Iwakuma beginning the season on the disabled list, there could have been a "here-we-go-again" feeling, both in the clubhouse and the stands.
So the Mariners sprinted out of the gate with three victories over the Halos, thanks in large part to great work by young starters James Paxton and Erasmo Ramirez.
This is a nice boost for Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik and new manager Lloyd McClendon. Zduriencik has done terrific work building a first-rate player development system, but he has taken some shots the past couple of years, as those young players haven't turned into overnight stars.
Their development is a reminder that young players don't come with guarantees; that they don't all develop at the same pace, and in the end, they don't all make it. No matter how much money the Mariners spent on free agents, they were always going to rise and fall based on the progress (or lack of progress) of their best young talent.
Cano gives the Mariners a giant presence in the middle of the lineup and has a chance to help the guys around him. In the end, though, the kids have to be all right for Seattle to succeed.
That's why this 3-0 start has to be especially encouraging. Justin Smoak is hitting .462 with a couple of homers in three games. Shortstop Brad Miller is at .333 and also has a pair of home runs. Dustin Ackley (.364) and Mike Zunino (.333) are likewise off to good starts.
Three games is only a tiny percentage of a baseball season, but they do matter. Here's a story about that.
One year, the Cardinals were picked to finish down in the division race. Their manager, Tony La Russa, thrived on being discounted. He preached all spring to his players about simply playing the season one inning at a time. In effect, La Russa was telling them to trust the process. Make good pitches. Make all the defensive plays.
Those messages sound so simple, but they keep players from thinking about the big picture and what the outside world thinks. When I saw the Cards early in the season, La Russa was preaching that message of progress every single day.
When I saw the Cardinals again three or four months later, they'd undergone a tremendous transformation. They were running away with the National League Central and had the confidence of a championship team.
There's no question that in those very first games, something lasting was being built. Had the Cards been unable to get off to a good start, their confidence could have been shaken, and who knows how it would have played out.
So, yes, 3-0 is an important development for the Mariners. It's important for the White Sox and Astros, too. For young players to see that energy and attitude can translate into even more positives is a strong message.
Likewise, tough starts can rip at the fabric of a team. The last thing the Angels needed was another bad start. After starting 11-22 in 2013 and 6-14 in '12, the Halos had hoped to ride an overhauled pitching staff and a rejuvenated Albert Pujols into contention.
Maybe 0-3 is not a killer, because the Angels have so many veteran players, but it's a disappointing way to begin. The Yankees have received some bad signs in their 0-2 start. CC Sabathia didn't build on his nice spring the way he'd hoped, and the new lineup hasn't done much yet.
Again, though, the Yanks are a veteran team. They'll grind on. Whether they're good enough is the larger question, but that probably won't be answered for weeks, if not months.
For the Mariners and Astros and White Sox, these first few days probably matter more. Little positives can become important bricks in the wall. And that's why starts do matter.

A trip around the minor leagues on Friday, June 29.
Boise dropped the game on Friday 4-1. Wellington Cruz pitched well for the Hawks, but took the loss. He gave up one run on three hits while striking out five in five innings of work. Felix Pena struggled in relief and Bryce Shafer pitched a scoreless 1.1 innings. Stephen Bruno was the only Hawks player to have multiple hits going 2-for-4 with a double and a triple. He also scored the lone run when Jeimer Candelario drove him in in the ninth.
Peoria took a tough loss as they lost 8-7 to Wisconsin. Things started out greatas Peoria took a 6-1 lead, but Micahel Jensen and the defense would give up the lead in the fourth. Jensen gave up six runs, three earned on six hits in five innings pitched. Luis Liria took the loss in relief giving up the winning run in the bottom of the 10th. The Cheifs got two hits a piece from Javier Baez, Anthony Giansanti, and Yasiel Balaguert. The RBI's for Peoria came from Taiwan Easterling, Paul Hoilman, Pin-Chieh Chen, and Giansanti. This was a tough loss for Peoria, but hopefully they can come back strong in the next one.
It was a crazy one in Daytona tonight, as Dunedin scored eight times in the last four innings, including three in the ninth to beat the Cubs 11-10. Scott Weismann blew his second save of the season and took his third loss giving up three runs in the bottom of the ninth. Frank Del Valle got the start and he gave up five runs in 5.2 innings. As bad as the pitching was on Friday, the offense was good. Matt Szczur, Arismendy Alcantara, Rubi Silva, and Elieser Bonne all had two hits. Ronald Torreyes went 3-for-4 with a homer, double, two runs scored, and an RBI on the night. Szczur and Alcantara each drove in two runs and Greg Rohan drove in two bringing his season total to 65.
A lot of runs were scored, but Tennessee hung on to beat Birmingham 10-8. Dallas Beeler got his third win of the season giving up two runs and striking out four in five innings of work. Marcus Hatley had a rough night in relief, but Frank Batista was good once again recording his 13th save. Justin Bour was 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI's. Logan Watkins, Jae-Hoon Ha, Juan Apodaca, Matt Cerda, and Michael Burgess all had two hit games as well. Apodaca, and Burgess also had three RBI's. On a day where Junior Lake went 0-for-4 it was nice to see the Tennessee offense put up 10 runs.
Iowa had a good night from the pitching to the hitting as they won 7-0. Josh Vitters was 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI's. Brett Jackson and Alfredo Amezaga also added two hits and an RBI a piece. Adrian Cardenas went 1-for-3 with a double, two RBI's and a run scored. Rodrigo Lopez pitched great giving no runs on three hits in six innings. Esmailin Caridad and Alberto Cabrera pitched well in relief.
It was an entertaining night throughout the Cubs minor leagues with a lot of runs scored.
Thanks for Reading,

I am, by my nature, a very analytical person. I like things that can be objectively quantified, measured, or categorized. The other thing I know is that by simply measuring things, we become aware of them better, which means we use less. Studies have shown that the simple act of tracking calories, will psychologically cut your intake in half in many cases. So today I wanted to share some things on how to monitor your energy usage. This will hopefully reduce your impact and help you get an idea of your biggest consuming appliances. It will also be useful for those of you who are wanting to size up how many solar panels you'll need.
The first one is the easiest and the cheapest, which means you are more likely to use it. These will run you about $25.00 (for the 4600 version, they have a cheap 4400 for $18) and allow you to plug an appliance into it and then the Kill-a-Watt into the wall. It will track your usage, allow you to input the cost per KW and will calculate the cost of running that item. What is really useful is that it will track usage over time, then extrapolate how much it will cost you for a day, a week, a month or a year. You will quickly come to realize that certain things take next to no power (cell phone costs me $2 a year), where as a computer could cost you $100 a year. I really like this option because of its simplicity and ability to put the energy usage into dollar amounts; The number one way to make someone an environmentalist…. have an effect on their wallet!
Next up is a the Black and Decker energy monitor. What this does is monitors your whole house usage easily. You place this sensor on your power box and it will display the usage on your monitoring device. Simply place it in a place you look often to get a sense of your usage. The only thing I don't like about this one is that it isn't able to provide info on what is using power, just that it is. Things in your home click on and off all the time. Your fridge compressor turns on and off, the water heater fires up, etc. This unit is good to help you know what to expect when the bill does come, for that, it is great. This will run you about $40.
Finally the best of both worlds, able to monitor the whole house, but also able to break down individual appliances. It is also a lot more accurate, outputs to the web and has a host of analytical tools. Basically a statistics nerd's dream! The system is called the energy detective (TED) and it ties into your electrical box using these clamp monitors to sense usage, then it is transmitted to a wireless router, which then can be monitored on a desktop monitor, your computer or even your iphone. It is also scalable, allowing you to by more clamps and individually monitor certain systems. The data is the outputed to a a dashboard on your computer that can even be viewed online from anywhere. This option really starts at $250 with an additional $60 per set of clamps.

Racine Receives EPA Great Lakes Shoreline Cities Green Infrastructure Grant
Release Date: 03/12/2014
Contact Information: Peter Cassell, 312-886-6234, 312-859-9614 (cell), email@example.com
RACINE - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency today announced the award of a $250,000 Great Lakes Restoration Initiative grant to the city of Racine to fund green infrastructure projects to improve water quality in Lake Michigan. EPA Region 5 Administrator / Great Lakes National Program Manager Susan Hedman was joined at Memorial Hall by Racine Mayor John Dickert and Vicki Elkin, Executive Director of the Fund for Lake Michigan to announce the projects.
"The City of Racine will use this EPA Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Shoreline Cities Green Infrastructure grant to prevent storm water from carrying contamination into Lake Michigan," said Hedman. "These green infrastructure projects will also help protect against flooding during more frequent and intense storms which may occur as a result of climate change."
Racine will use the EPA grant, in combination with funding from the City ($101,190) and the Fund for Lake Michigan ($167,100), to construct green infrastructure projects in two city parks on the shore of Lake Michigan. The City will install a series of bioswales and bioretention basins to capture and filter stormwater before it is discharged into the Lake.
"We are proud that our efforts have paid off and that the EPA will continue to support our work on Pershing and Meyers Park," Dickert said.
"With a matching grant from the Fund for Lake Michigan, Racine can turn a neglected beach into an asset on the city's lake front," Elkin said.
Racine is one of 16 cities to receive funding in the initial round of EPA's new GLRI Shoreline Cities grant program. These grants can be used to fund up to 50 percent of the cost of green infrastructure projects on public property. The projects include rain gardens, bioswales, green roofs, porous pavement, greenways, constructed wetlands, stormwater tree trenches and other green infrastructure measures designed to improve water quality in the Great Lakes basin.

Further, while the primary gameplay is appropriately polished, the interspersed minigame levels are too simplistic to be of any real interest or value. Whether flying a plane, riding in a motorcycle and sidecar, or battling pirates as they board your ship, the action is one-note and dull. Luckily, these segments are fairly short. They're available as timed challenges from the main menu, too, but it doesn't feel as though there's much of a reason to play them. They also come in a motion-enhanced flavor, though the Kinect, at least, did little to make them any more engaging, instead forcing even greater simplification on an already barren framework. There are also moments in the story in which players move around through 3D environments. This is rarely used for more than a bit of investigative work and getting from point A to point B. While it does serve to add necessary links to the story chain, these moments could just as easily have been handled with cutscenes.
The main story of The Adventures of Tintin takes mere hours to complete. Under five, in my experience. There is more to do, though, and not just the minigame challenges, but a full-fledged second platforming mode. The aforementioned "Tin Tin and Haddock" game mode takes place after the events of the story, inside an unconscious Captain Haddock's head. The gameplay is very similar to that of the main game, but is expanded with additional characters, each of whom has their own special abilities, and optional co-op. Those playing alone, however, can switch between characters (as well as change their costumes) on the fly, allowing them to freely navigate the levels as long as they've unlocked the necessary individuals to do so. It's an expansive gameplay mode that builds on what was done well in the story, increasing the challenge and providing, in sum, more entertainment than the actual campaign. It is, by far, the best part of the game, with tons of unlockable costumes and bonus levels. The surreal nature of the experience also allows the developers to go nuts with their design elements, including such things as a giant Tintin in the background and a boss battle with Castafiore's high-pitched head.
The Adventures of Tintin: The Game is far from perfect, and its simple gameplay and (mostly) shallow puzzles aren't going to entertain one for long. Still, it's an extremely solid movie tie-in and a mostly seamless platforming experience, with polish where it counts. It smartly sidesteps the pitfalls of excessive frustration and disjointed storytelling, opting to provide a short, enjoyable experience rather than an extended and repetitive one. For that, and the production values it displays, it deserves praise. The low-fidelity video, however, is inexcusable in a movie-licensed property and the minigames are generally unnecessary, simply taking time away from what was otherwise an enjoyable sidescrolling experience.

Describing itself as a 'cross-asset portfolio and risk management solutions provider', London and New York headquartered Sophis has this week entered into what it calls as a significant partnership with Platform Computing, a cluster, grid and cloud management software company for the financial services industry.
Sophis will now offer an integrated solution to sit alongside the Platform Symphony grid computing middleware product for users in the banking, insurance and investment management sectors to distribute resource-hungry calculations such as risk simulations and value at risk (VaR).
Before going public with their new joint offering, Sophis and Platform carried out a benchmark test on their combined solution at IBM's Product and Solution Support Centre (PSSC) in Montpellier, France during July 2010 on hardware including the IBM Power 750, IBM XIV Storage System, IBM System x3850 M2 and IBM BladeCenter HS22.
According to Sophis, "Using OTC structured products, the test ran a historical VaR calculation on a multi-asset portfolio with 32,000 positions, which was representative of a true portfolio. The test, computing value at risk (VaR) calculations with 270 historical scenarios, took four hours using less than 300 nodes and less than 90 minutes using slightly over 800 nodes with no apparent limitation and linear scalability."
The company also explains that by speeding up calculations using a grid approach, they can introduce an intra-day VaR calculation for customers and that his helps comply with the latest guidance on risk management and reporting.

STEM Outreach
Giving something back.
John Sisk & Son Ltd.'s UK Civils business has begun delivering it's commitment to supporting the lives of young people, through collaborative working with the STEM programme.
The STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) Programme is designed to encourage young people into STEM subjects and careers, including Civil Engineering and Construction.
We are aiming to increase our activity across the North West region over the next six months, activity which has kicked off this month with our first STEM event. Proposals Writer, Claire Cawte, volunteered her time at an Enterprise Day being held at Chorlton High School. This event was organised by local provider 'Education Business Solutions', and involved over half of the schools' year nine year group.
The enterprise challenge is a simulation of a competitive business environment. During the challenge, students were given the opportunity to develop employability and enterprise skills needed for the world of work.
The challenge offers pupils the chance to manage risks, work creatively to solve problems and motivate others.
In the role of an "employer", Claire was responsible for negotiating deals with the pupils, providing clear specifications to works required and offering advice on how best they presented their business plans, and ultimately final products.
A great day was had by all, and the Sisk Manchester office was the proud recipient of a number of somewhat 'bespoke' promotional items as a thank you from the students

While it's long supported Flash, the Skyfire mobile browser now plays nice with Microsoft Silverlight—basically, Microsoft's version of Flash, which is what you'll need to watch streaming video at the NBC Olympics site. Meaning yes, you can watch Olympics video on your S60 or Windows Mobile phone if you're stuck in traffic or something. If you've got Skyfire, anyway.
Skyfire Mobile Browser Satisfying Hunger for the Olympics with Live Access to Olympic Footage from NBC's PC Website
NBC-Universal is offering an unprecedented amount of video footage of the summer Olympics from Beijing on its website NBColympics.com. While Google, Yahoo and even NBC have limited mobile offerings, the Skyfire mobile browser, currently in private beta, has full access to all of NBC's full-PC site including access to full video. Skyfire users can not only see highlights of Michael Phelps' first medal-garnering performances, they can watch live as he swims toward his next gold.
In addition to being the only mobile browser that allows full access to the NBColympics.com site, Skyfire has also added a widget on its launching page, linking to video and picture slideshows of the latest from Beijing. This custom blend of images and video is updated through RSS several times a day, making Skyfire the best way to follow the Olympics from a mobile device.
Skyfire is the only mobile browser which supports full Flash, which is the most popular online video codec. Fans of the Olympics who watch the games at home on their desktop PCs, probably had to download the Silverlight plug-in in order to view the video. Skyfire added Silverlight support seamlessly, without its users having to install a new plug-in or even update the browser version.
The Skyfire browser is currently in private beta on the WindowsMobile and Symbian platforms.

Abdullah runs for 225, Huskers beat Illini 39-19
Ameer Abdullah ran for a career-high 225 yards and two touchdowns and Nebraska's maligned defense was much improved in a 39-19 victory over Illinois on Saturday.
-- PHOTOS: Nebraska vs. Illinois
Tommy Armstrong, starting his second straight game in place of injured quarterback Taylor Martinez, led the Cornhuskers (4-1, 1-0 Big Ten) to touchdowns on his first three series and was solid throughout.
Armstrong was 8 of 13 for 135 yards.
Just as big as Armstrong's performance was that of Nebraska's defense, which had been one of the nation's worst through four games.
Illinois (3-2, 0-1), which came in averaging 40 points a game, didn't score its first touchdown until the middle of the third quarter. Twice when the Illini looked as if they would make a game of it, the Huskers made big stops.
Josh Ferguson led the Illini with 114 yards on 19 carries and another 82 yards on eight catches.

Principal investigator for the Natural Programming Project, funded by NSF and industry, which is creating new programming languages, environments and tools that are easier to learn, more effective, and less error prone. We are taking a human-centered approach, first studying how people perform their tasks and then designing languages and environments around people's natural tendencies. We focus on all kinds of programming, including professional programmers, novice programmers who are trying to learn to be experts, and end user programmers, who program to support other jobs or activities.
Principal investigator for the Pebbles PDA project, funded by DARPA, NSF, SEI and industry, which is investigating the use of hand-held computers like Android smartphones, Pocket PC/Windows CE and PalmOS devices synchronously with PCs. By "synchronously," we mean that one or more hand-helds will be connected to a computer or computerized device, so that the hand-helds will be in continuous two-way communication with the main computer and with each other.
Principal investigator for the Silver Project, funded as part of the second Digital Libraries Initiative, which investigated authoring with digital video.
Principal investigator for the User Interface Software Project, funded by DARPA and industry, which developed sophisticated user interface development environments to help build graphical user interfaces. Garnet, our earlier system, is in Lisp, and introduced encapsulating mouse and keyboard behaviors into abstract "interactors." Amulet, the second system, is in C++ and runs on Unix, Windows NT and 95, and Macintosh. Amulet is downloaded about 10,000 times a year, and incorporates novel object, constraint, input, output, undo, command and animation models to provide high-level support for highly-interactive, multi-media applications for one or multiple users. An important focus is high-level graphical editors which allow the user interface designer to draw all graphical aspects of user interfaces, and to demonstrate most of the behavior of the user interface.
Principal investigator for the Demonstrational Interfaces project, funded by NSF and industry. In a "demonstrational interface," the user gives an example of how the system should operate, and the system automatically generalizes from the example to produce a parameterized procedure. For instance, in the Macintosh Finder, the user might move "foo.PS" and then "bar.PS" to the trash can. The system might notice that a similar operation was performed twice and automatically create a procedure to delete all the "*.PS" files. We are developing a demonstrational visual shell (iconic desktop), a text formatter, an editor for business charts, an editor for dynamic world-wide-web pages, and an architecture for programs that support demonstrational interfaces.
MacGnome project (1987-1988): designed a system that creates visualizations for Pascal data structures.

AWESOME SHOW AT CLEMSONThe crowd was small so we moved from the south side to near the stage - the acoustics were great and Rage against the Machine were an awesome opener. One of my favorite shows ever.
27 July, 2011
K.martyea...showed up at the show....had a seat way in the back...but when the touch of with I will follow I was feeling the vibe...I heard batman for the first time....nice...wake up dead man for the first time...cool...this tour was a piece of art....
18 June, 2010
MofoRealI don't have any photos but this was the first and only time i got to see U2, i took a buddy with me and we got there as they were going on. i scored really good seats but since we were just little late staff people held us back and would let us go seat. they kept saying you have to wait. i was freaking out, no idea why we could get to our seats. i was looking around seeing if i could figure it out and just as i was about to panic my friend said "hey man, there is Bono" i turned and holy crap, the band was doing a grand entrance of sorts. Bono had his pre boxing match rob on, throwing punches in the air and adam had on yellow jump suit and larry and edge were just smoothly walking through the crowd and mofo(i believe) was playing on a loop. i about crapped myself. i was just feet away as the band walked through. they went on up on stage and we got to our cool seats and enjoyed a great show. lemon and all, it was incredible.

Matt Howarth has been active in the field of comics since the mid-1970s. Matt has created numerous comics, all the while continuing his self-publishing and commercial art works. He started his life in the publishing industry when he co-founded Howski Studios in 1969. He contributed to several fanzines until he started self-publishing in 1976, beginning with his graphic novel 'Afternoon in the Sun'.
Howarth is influenced both by science fiction authors like Philip K. Dick, and comics artists like Ditko, Wrightson, Moebius and Druillet. He also finds much of his inspiration in listening to progressive music.
He earned his first big success with the experimental comics 'Changes', that appeared in Heavy Metal magazine in 1980/1981. He has produced comics for numerous publishers, such as Aeon, Antarctic Press, Dark Horse Comics, Fantagraphics Books and DC Comics. Howarth continued creating comics with the main 'Changes' characters in his 'Those Annoying Post Brothers' serial from 1985. He also took on the 'Savage Henry' and 'Bugtown' series.

Why Don't We Build Better Houses?
This online-only article is a supplement to the Fall 2016 print edition of Home Energy Magazine.
June 11, 2016
Did you know that the solar house was a popular concept in the 1940s, and that architects like Fred Keck, an American modernist architect based in Chicago, Illinois, could save their clients 30–40% on heating energy by using simple passive techniques? My book, The Solar House: Pioneering Sustainable Design, describes some of the early experimental houses that used active-solar heating systems. One question I do not address in the book, but that I am always asked when I give public talks, is why we aren't building houses like that now. If simple passive measures were common and effective in the 1940s, why aren't they used by architects and home builders today?

$600K stolen from Lakewood Church
Cash and checks - along with written credit card information – were stolen from Houston's Lakewood Church on Sunday, according to an email sent by church leaders to members on Monday.
Victor Senties, spokesman for the Houston Police Department, said $200,000 in cash and $400,000 in checks were stolen from the church's safe sometime between early afternoon Sunday and Monday morning, when a church employee first discovered the money missing.
Senties declined to release further details about the robbery.
Lakewood said in a statement to its more than 40,000 church members Monday that cash, checks and envelopes containing written credit card information had been stolen.
Lakewood, which is led by Pastor Joel Osteen, encouraged those who made contributions to the church on March 8 and 9 to monitor their bank and credit card accounts closely for fraudulent charges.
The statement reiterated that this was not an electronic data breach, and was only limited to donations made during those services. Further, if a church member put their offering in a drop box, gave online or through other electronic means, they are not affected by the robbery.
"The funds were fully insured, and we are working with our insurance company to restore the stolen funds to the church," according to the Lakewood statement.
Donald Iloff, Jr., a church spokesman, said Tuesday that he couldn't comment further on the theft.
"Lakewood Church is working in conjunction with the Houston Police Department to investigate this matter. We do not want to compromise the investigation by commenting at this time," he said.
Church members worried about their donations are asked to call Lakewood's customer service line at 713-491-1506.

The first step was to dig out the area roughly 3" with my helper. I like to wait until it is 95 degrees to do manual labor outside.
I realized why we couldn't grow grass. Our hardscapers put down landscape cloth and crushed stone beneath only a couple inches of topsoil. Thanks guys.
Then we lined up the Belgian block flush with what we hope will someday be grass so that it didn't create a tripping hazard. We used post-set concrete to set it. You just drop the concrete powder in, place your block and then add water. It'll set pretty quickly. Use a level and a staked string line as you go.
Next up I laid out all the leftover slate pieces we had and tried to come up with a design. This was way more difficult than I thought. I ended up with this layout.
Because I have a short attention span and not a head for details I would have just left them here and filled the gaps with river rock but Sean likes do things the right way. The nerve. So next up was laying sand and screeding. To screed you lay 2 level and perfectly straight objects for guidance (we used pipe but you could use wood) on either end of the surface. Dump the sand in the area. Take a 3rd level object (we used a long piece of scrap wood) to drag across the pipe sections in the sand pulling the excess sand off. This will fill in all the gaps in the dirt and ensure you have a perfectly level surface. Then we dropped the slate pieces into place. By screeding the surface first we are now confident that every stone is exactly in line with the top step down to the pool. No tripping hazards.
Next up, the fun part. Outside of concrete and sand this was the only material we had to buy. River rock. We could have gone with pea gravel but I think it would be too tempting for little boys to pick up and let travel into our grass and get sloppy over time.
I spread the river rock between the gaps, flush with the slate.
Voila! A clean landing patio for very little cash. Eventually we'll plant some shrubs along the wall line to bring in some color and soften up all the stone...
But for now my back is aching so I'll instead just enjoy the pool.

Elvis Presley honoured at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Ohio
Elvis Presley continues to be remembered and celebrated long after his death, and last Friday, the King of Rock & Roll was honoured yet again at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio.
Featuring a number of personal items loaned from Graceland, his Memphis mansion and now a permanent museum dedicated to Elvis, the new exhibit looks to pay tribute to Elvis and show off some of his more extravagant tastes and hopefully some things that will be new to a number of fans.
Inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1986, Elvis' posthumous association with the organization has been a regular occurrence, with the current exhibition the latest in a long succession of exhibits honouring the King.

Thermal Camera Imaging Brought to Your Daily Life, See Things Like Never Before
For most people the first peek at thermal imaging were the scenes from the 1987 movie Predator with Arnold Schwarzenegger where the alien used thermal vision to track his prey. Interestingly enough this was probably the first movie to use an actual thermal imager back in the day when they were still really expensive and far from what they are capable nowadays. This is precisely for a lot of people when talking about thermal cameras the images from the movie pop up in their heads, especially the first one, even though thermal imagers were used in most of the sequels after that, though some apparently resorted to "faking" it with CG as well.
There is a common misconception about thermal imaging cameras and that is regarding what kind of information they actually record with a lot of people thinking that the colorful image they see is actually what a thermal camera records. Well, maybe even that Predator movie is partially responsible for that misconception, but thermal imaging cameras actually do not record any color information. The reason for that is pretty simple – they do not operate like regular cameras that work in the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible (400–700 nm range) and we can distinguish colors in, they operate in the a much higher part of the electromagnetic spectrum (8000–15000 nm).
Thermal cameras record infrared radiation emitted from objects and save it as a temperature information and not color information, this means that each pixel does not have RGB values associated with it that represent certain color, but instead has a temperature value. You can think of this as being more like a grayscale image where the lighter a pixel is, the hotter it normally is, though that is just an example representation. The example with grayscale is also what different color representations of thermal images also do, like in the movie Predator, to make things seem easier to understand a LUT or a lookup table of colors is being used where different temperatures are represented by different colors. I'll get in more details in a separate post, just want to tell you that the Predator movie for example uses the so called Rainbow lookup table to represent the difference in temperature of the objects in a frame.
Another common misconception about the thermal imagers or cameras is that they are "infrared cameras", but that is not entirely true and is a confusing term to describe them, even though they actually do work in a part of the infrared spectrum. The term infrared camera is mostly used to describe regular digital cameras or even security cameras with night vision that are designed to be more sensitive in the near infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum (over 700nm to about 1000nm). Thermal imaging cameras operate in a much higher part of the infrared range or the so called Long-wavelength infrared region of about 8000 to 15000 nm. Regular digital camera sensors are not sensitive enough to even reach close to this region, that is why thermal imaging cameras do rely on special type of sensors and not on regular CCD or CMOS sensors used in consumer cameras. This is also the reason why thermal cameras are much more expensive than a regular digital cameras, though in the last few years they have started becoming more affordable and accessible to regular users and not only to professionals that use them for work.
Affordable Consumer Thermal Imaging Cameras
Here is a list of some more affordable thermal imaging cameras that you can purchase and play with without having to pay too much to get your hands on the technology. Of course there are some limitations that you can expect such as the lower resolution of the thermal imager and the low framerate you will get if the camera is capable of recording videos. The recent spike in interest in thermal cameras was pretty much caused by the availability of inexpensive sensors such as FLIR Lepton for example. These small and inexpensive sensors quickly found their way into accessories for mobile phones that add thermal vision capabilities to your device. The fact that the phone takes the role of processing and display device allows to greatly reduce the extra cost of these thermal imaging devices as compared to traditional all-in-one solutions.
FLIR One Thermal Imager for iOS and Android Devices
I have been using standalone thermal imaging cameras in my work for a few years already and when the first FLIR One came out I was really curious how well it would work, so I did not wait much to get one. Back in the time it was pretty much the first thermal imaging smartphone accessory that relied on the first generation of FLIR Lepton sensor to come out on the market (80×60 pixels thermal resolution). The product was initially designed only for Apple's iPhone 5/5S as it came in a special accessory case that attached only to these iOS devices.
There were a couple of interesting features available that were introduced with it that were new to the not so high-end thermal imaging cameras that were available back then. These included the ability to actually record thermal videos with it (low resolution and framerate), but still something that is not yet available to the more affordable standalone thermal cameras. This was possible thanks to using the pretty fast processing power of the iPhone to work with the data captured with the sensor. The other one is the ability to record two images and superimpose them in order to create a higher-resolution looking end result, the lower resolution thermal image gets upscaled and on top of it a higher resolution visual image is overlaid providing contour of actual objects. The end result of the so called FLIR MSX blending gives the impression of actually using a higher resolution thermal imager than what you actually have in terms of thermal imager resolution.
The second generation FLIR One Thermal Imager that was introduced later on was made to be compatible with a wider array of devices and not be fixed only for a specific brand and model(s) of smartphones like the first gen. It became available in a more compact form and available in separate versions for both iOS and Android devices. It also offered some slight improvement in the specifications such as higher temperature sensitivity and apparently a better thermal resolution, not to mention the much more convenient and smaller size of the whole thing that you can easily carry in your pocket for example.
– For more details about the FLIR ONE Smartphone accessory…
Seek Thermal Compact Imager for iOS and Android Devices
The other main player in the smartphone accessory thermal imaging cameras was a company called Seek Thermal introducing their Seek Thermal Compact smartphone accessory to rival the FLIR product. Back when they did this their product was more advanced in terms of specifications and came in a more compact fork with different versions for iOS and Android OS available, but still had some trouble getting popular initially. The reason for that is in the fact that FLIR is one of the specialists and the most talked about name in the thermal imaging cameras for professional use, so a tough competitor. There were however some other issues that Seek thermal had, such as the initial availability of their products only for the US market and the not so good performance of their first product even it being with better specs. The last reason was one of the most important as while FLIR has many years of experience and just used it in their consumer product in terms of hardware and software as well, Seek Thermal was really new to the whole thing and needed some time to polish things up.
At the moment Seek Thermal is doing much better with multiple product offerings with different specifications and for different user needs, including a more professional solution with even higher resolution thermal imaging sensor, manually focusable lens, higher refresh rate and so on. The company has also managed to polish their software as well in the meantime, so that it is more usable and provides better results than initially had. So if you are interested in thermal imaging cameras and being able to add such functionality to your smartphone you might want to also check Seek Thermal as well and not only what FLIR offers.

Other Affordable Thermal Imaging Cameras
There are of course some other affordable entry level products in the form of thermal cameras that you might be interested in such as the standalone FLIR TG165 Spot Thermal Camera that is also based on the FLIR Lepton sensor. There is also the standalone solution from Seek Thermal in the form of their Reveal, RevealXR and RevealPro product line. It is not only these two companies however, there are already some other quite interesting alternative products. For example there is the CAT S60 smartphone with an integrated thermal imaging camera (FLIR Lepton), so that you don't need to get a separate accessory for that functionality. There are also some other interesting projects for people into DIY such as the DIY-Thermocam project, so you might want to check that one out as well…
