Is it possible to use James Woodcock's enhanced music with ScummVm for the Dreamcast? I put the soundtrack in the same directory as the game, and I ran it on NullDC for testing purposes before burning, but the original soundtrack was used.
It should be possible. A few questions:
1. Which game are you trying this with?
2. What version of ScummVM are you running?
3. Have you tried the same game data on the desktop build first and the enhanced soundtrack is used?
4. Does this work in NullDC?
5. Does this work on the Dreamcast?
1. Discworld
2. 1.6.0
3. It works on the Desktop version.
4. No
5. I've not tried yet. That's why I used NullDC. I didn't want to waste the CD.
For what it's worth, this is the OGG soundtrack. The Dreamcast supports OGG, right?
AH... No, it only supports MP3 via libmad.
I don't think there is a major reason why it doesn't support OGG, except the library is not built and linked to the Dreamcast build. It is probably omitted due to memory limitations as the DC is limited to 16 MB.
FLAC will not be usuable either for similar reasons.
Note the field "Supported Audio Options" in this page:
So, is there a way that I can convert the audio to MP3 so that it works?
That would be a question better suited to Google...
Try searching for audacity, mencoder or any one of freely available and opem source audio conversion tools for Linux, Win32 and OSX.
If you are in a real hurry, there is always:
I appreciate it. I'm somewhat familiar with audio conversion. I've used Audacity before. I guess my question is if I just chain convert all of the OGG files to MP3, will ScummVm recognize it, or is there more to it?
Sorry for being a bother. I'm just wanting to play the game already lol.
OK... Music Enhancement i.e. the use of external digital music files to replace the MIDI output is engine-specific... so I had to review the implementation code in the Tinsel engine.
This should work fine as long as the names follow the same pattern i.e. track1.ogg becomes track1.mp3 as I think this is implemented by our generic audio CD replacement code, rather than more specific code. See:
"Games that have ** shown in their name use CD audio tracks for music, check readme included with ScummVM to see how to convert them to compressed files."
Thanks so much. I'm converting them all with Audacity at 320kbps and I'll let you know the outcome.
Thanks again. Everything seems to be working.
Actually, now that I'm trying it, there's too much lag. I figure I'll either try with a lower bitrate, or if that doesn't work, I'll try it on the PS2.

Twitter Inc.'s initial public offering documents suggested a valuation of $12.8 billion for the microblogging service, underscoring the seven-year rise of a still unprofitable company that has helped revolutionize how people share information.
In the most anticipated technology offering since Facebook Inc., San Francisco-based Twitter made public its S-1 prospectus today and said it's seeking to raise $1 billion. Twitter pegged the fair value of its common stock at $20.62 a share. There are 620 million shares outstanding, according to people familiar with its financials, who asked not to be named because the number was not included in the filing.
The prospectus removes the veil of secrecy that surrounded Twitter's financials since the company said on Sept. 12 that it had filed confidentially for an IPO. It shows how the microblogging service, founded in 2006, has evolved from a simple site for 140-character updates to a booming online- advertising business that generated revenue of $253.6 million in the first six months of this year.
"Whether it's worth $12 billion or not is really going to come down to how they can embrace this real-time news and information vision, how they can extend it to other revenue lines and how they can grow around the world," Brian Blau, a San Francisco-based technology analyst at Gartner Inc., said in an interview.
Roadshow Soon
With Twitter taking the wraps off its S-1, the company will soon embark on a roadshow to promote the deal. The IPO will be a test for investors burned in recent years by the offerings of Internet companies such as Facebook, Groupon Inc. and Zynga Inc., all of which plunged after their offerings. While Facebook shares have since climbed back, Groupon and Zynga are still trading below their IPO prices.
At $12.8 billion, Twitter would be valued at 28.6 times revenue over the past 12 months. Facebook debuted with price-to- sales ratio of about 26, while LinkedIn sold shares for 14.5 times revenue.
The offering will be pivotal for Chief Executive Officer Dick Costolo, who in 2010 became Twitter's third CEO in as many years. He is credited with bringing management discipline, rapid hiring and a business plan to a company that was bogged down by a lack of focus and frequent technical outages.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. was listed as the lead underwriter and was joined by Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase & Co., Bank of America Corp., Deutsche Bank AG, Allen & Co. and Code Advisors. The stock will list under the ticker TWTR.
Twitter's revenue in the first six months of the year more than doubled to $253.6 million. The company said advertising revenue per timeline view in the second quarter rose 26 percent from the same period a year ago to 80 cents.
Robust Mobile
Twitter also disclosed that a majority of its revenue derives from mobile advertising, an area where rivals have struggled. In the three months that ended in June, more than 65 percent of Twitter's ad revenue was generated from mobile devices. Facebook said in July that mobile accounted for 41 percent of revenue in the second quarter, up from 30 percent the prior period.
Twitter posted a net loss of $69.3 million in the first six months of 2013, compared with a net loss of $49.1 million in the same period a year ago. The company said that as of June 30, it had incurred an accumulated deficit of $418.6 million.
"They have clearly built their business from the get-go in the direction of where users are spending time, which is on their phones," said Clark Fredricksen, vice president at EMarketer Inc. in New York.
Risky Business
The company included 32 pages of risk factors, compared with 22 pages in Facebook's IPO filing last year. Among those are Twitter's dependence on U.S. advertisers, even as more than three-quarter of its monthly active users are located outside the country. Twitter also cited stiff advertising competition, the company's youth, and even earthquakes as risks.
One challenge lies in expanding the site's user base. In June, Twitter had 218 million monthly users, up 44 percent from the year earlier. That was slower than its 78 percent growth the prior year.
Twitter's average revenue per user in the latest quarter was 64 cents based on its monthly active users and $139.3 million in sales. That's less than half Facebook's $1.60 average revenue per monthly user.

Both currently Emmy-nominated for the film, Michael Douglas and Matt Damon have change-of-pace roles - to put it very mildly - in this made-for-HBO drama about the flamboyant showman Liberace and a much younger man who would play a major role in his personal life, Scott Thorson.
Rob Lowe (also in a performance that drew much attention), Dan Aykroyd, Scott Bakula (another Emmy nominee here), Paul Reiser and Debbie Reynolds co-star for director Steven Soderbergh and executive producer Jerry Weintraub. The movie also features the final score by the late Marvin Hamlisch. *** (Not rated: AS, P) (Also on Blu-ray)

I've been gearing up for this week with several posts such as Understanding Free Motion Quilting and Memorizing Quilting Designs. Make sure to check out both of those articles if you find yourself needing tips on relaxing at your machine or figuring out what or where to stitch next while working on your next quilt.
After reading those articles you'll find a theme that runs through both: the importance of practice.
I can't stress it enough, I can't say it enough, I can't do it enough -
Watching videos will only get you so far, drawing on a notebook will only get you so far, you're going to have to actually get on your machine and shut up and quilt sometime during this week and play with this design if you truly want to master it.
Now with my lecture out of the way, let's watch this week's video:
Now let's go into a bit more depth about what you saw in the video:
First off, Stippling is governed by two very simple rules:
1. Stitch a wiggly line.
2. Don't allow this line to cross itself.
This is a pretty simple set of rules, yet Stippling can be challenging when you try to immediately stitch something like this:
This is the more complex form of Stippling which forms a dense, wiggly mass over your quilt. But it took a few weeks of practice to get here. I certainly didn't start stippling this complex version right off the bat, and I don't advise you to try it that way.
To learn Stippling, I broke the design down into a simpler version and got the hang of that first, then slowly added more bends and curves until it became the complex design it is today.
So if we break down those rules into the simplest format, you will get a Super Simplified Version of Stippling that looks something like this:
Let's call this U Shape Stippling.
Spend some time drawing and quilting this wiggly line. Wiggle and Wiggle and Wiggle until you start to go a bit wiggly, and then wiggle some more!
When you're so bored out of your mind with wiggles you'd like to kill me, move on to a slightly more complex wiggle:
Let's call this Peace Sign Stippling, and make sure to try the reverse version as well:
Again, draw and quilt this new wiggly line. Feel free to print this page and trace it if you have to. Whatever you have to do in order to get the practice you need!
Only when you're bored to tears again, play with bending the curve to create a bit more complexity:
Let's call this one Lobster Claw Stippling and again, make sure to stitch the reverse version as well:
Do you see where I'm going with this? Each row of shapes is slightly more complex, but at the same time they're very simple because it's just the same wiggles repeated over and over again.
When you're ready, you can start mixing and matching these simple shapes to create a more complex version.
Practice Ideas
Really you can practice this however you like, but here's what I did this week:
I made a 1/2 yard quilt sandwich with black fabric and stitched across the narrow side several times with each version of Stippling.
You might have noticed marked lines on my quilt sandwich. I marked lines about 3 inches apart so I could work my rows of simple stippling straight across the quilt:
If you finish your practice piece and still feel excited and enthusiastic about your progress, make another sandwich and keep quilting!
If you finish your practice piece and feel so frustrated and angry you're ready to throw your machine out the window, please stop quilting and go have fun doing something else! This is not a torture session here!
See Stippling in a Real Quilt
Now you might be thinking that only the most complex version of Stippling is acceptable to stitch over a real quilt.
And you'd be wrong.
You can stitch even the most simplistic version of stippling - yes! even those basic rows of U shapes can go on a REAL QUILT!
This Pink quilt was my very first free motion quilted quilt:
I only had a vague idea of what stippling looked like. All I knew for sure was that you didn't cross your lines so I just stitched rows and rows of U shapes:
I think this looks really nice! I spaced this stippling so there was around 1/2 inch between each line of quilting. While you might think the quilt would end up stiff, it's actually one of the softest quilts I've ever made.
Here's another tip if you want to practice on a real quilt - if you use a cotton batting that has a slight shrink to it, and if you've not pre-washed your fabric (this is the ONLY time I'll EVER say this is okay), then when you wash the quilt the first time, it will shrink slightly and you will get that nice soft ripply texture you see on my quilt above.
Now let's see some larger, more complex stippling:
Click Here to find this cheater cloth fabric on Spoonflower.com.
This is a much larger and more complex version stitched over a cheater cloth quilt. The 1 inch scale here requires a lot of hand moving and repositioning the quilt so you can see what you're doing.
Whenever you stop and start, try taking a few stitches with your machine at a slow speed, then slowly bring the machine up to full speed again as you return to stitching the design smoothly.
Now if stitching on a small scale is your goal, you can follow all the same steps as above, only instead of stitching big, shrink it down and stitch each row really small. All the same rules apply for big quilting or small quilting and the lessons work either way.
Okay, I think we've pretty much nailed down the basics of Stippling! If I've missed anything or am confusing in any way, please share your question in the comments below. Don't be surprised if I answer your question tomorrow on the project!
Spend a week working on this design, then be ready to share your progress and any questions next Wednesday.
Let's go quilt!

|Yankees | Teixeira could need season-ending surgery
Sat, 04 Jun 2016 13:47:06 -0700
Updating an earlier story, New York Yankees 1B Mark Teixeira (knee) may require season-ending surgery because of an articular cartilage tear in his right knee. "The initial effort is going to try to be to treat it conservatively with rest, probably involving injections, and then see how he responds to that. If that doesn't work, then you're looking at a surgical procedure. If that's the case, then his season is probably done," general manager Brian Cashman said.
Fantasy Tip: Cashman admitted the Yankees made an offer to then-free agent 1B James Loney at the end of spring training, but he turned it down before signing with the San Diego Padres, who recently dealt him to the New York Mets. Chris Parmelee and Rob Refsnyder will continue to see the majority of starts in Teixeira's place for now, but expect the Yankees to be aggressive in trading for a first baseman in the coming days and weeks.

Sun, 07 Jun 2015 13:27:46 -0700
New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi and general manager Brian Cashman will discuss SS Brendan Ryan (calf), who has been out all season with a calf strain.
Fantasy Tip: With Didi Gregorius ($2,200, 4.4% of cap) and Stephen Drew ($2,800, 5.6% of cap) struggling, it's apparent the Yankees would like Ryan ($1,600, 3.2% of cap) back to serve as a backup infielder and even start a few games. Watch this situation and see how it affects everyone if Ryan is healthy enough.

Wed, 23 Jul 2014 15:38:33 -0700
New York Yankees 1B Mark Teixeira (lat) may require a DL stint, according to general manager Brian Cashman.
Fantasy Tip: Tex's up-and-down season seems to have hit another valley. Brian McCann may line up at first base for the duration, especially with INF/OF Kelly Johnson (groin) on the disabled list. It'd be good for McCann's value to play more frequently and not behind the plate.

"We haven't anointed anybody the closer, so I don't know," Cashman said. "I know Robertson wants it. But we'll see how the winter shakes out and how the competition in spring training takes place." The Yankees have been in contact with free-agent closers like Grant Balfour (Athletics)

Rump Faker
Is imitation calamari made from pig rectum? A charming urban legend gets its start.
A friend told me the other day that she'd heard a horrifying report on public radio: You know those deep-fried, chewy rings of calamari? Sure. Well, they're sometimes served in imitation form, made from slices of a pig's rectum. Wait … what?! And so it happened second-hand, as these things almost always do: An urban legend hatched and spread its wings.
My friend had heard the story from radio producer Ben Calhoun, who put it in his segment for the Jan. 11 episode of This American Life. You should go listen: It's not an expose but a charming, funny paean to the hog bung. (More on that in a bit.) Calhoun doesn't really think that buttholes have surfed into our seafood—"If I had to bet money on whether it's happening [in the U.S.], I would absolutely bet money that it's not," he told me earlier this week—but his reporting in the piece did leave some tiny room for doubt, and that margin of uncertainty, the implied what if that was central to his piece, provides a blueprint for how a rumor gains the gloss of truth.
Where did the legend of the backdoor calamari come from, and why has it only just emerged? The story started in the classic way, with an email from a stranger. Calhoun heard it from a fan of This American Life who wrote in to say that she had heard it from a guy who worked in pork production. When Calhoun followed up, the farmer told him that he'd learned about faux mollusk from a guy he knows who manages a meat-processing plant. That manager, for his part, told Calhoun that he was 95 percent sure the claim was true, though he admitted that he'd never seen the fakes himself—he only knew of them from the people that he worked for at the plant. And while no one at the plant had ever seen a rectum packaged as a squid, employees there confirmed that they had heard the story, too.
There were no eyewitnesses at all, in fact, and all the other evidence was circumstantial: A recent activist report found signs of modest seafood fraud—one kind of fish mislabeled as another—and a taste test showed that switching rectums for calamari might indeed go undetected. Calhoun did not try to hide the weakness of his case: "Just to repeat one last time," he said at the close of his radio script, "I have no proof that anyone, anywhere, has ever tried to pass off pork bung as calamari in a restaurant … "
Still, not everyone took the piece with its intended whimsy. Some have now suggested that their fear of nasty pig parts might override their love of tentacles. (Never mind that hog bung is routinely used in making large-gauge sausages and liverwurst.) Others griped that This American Life had stooped to fearmongering. "We didn't know whether to laugh or cry," said Diane Pleschner-Steele, director of the California Wetfish Producers Association. Her counterpart in New Jersey, Greg DiDomenico of the Garden State Seafood Association, was less ambivalent: "It's provocative, and it's irresponsible," he told me, "and it ultimately harms fishermen and consumers."
DiDomenico even launched a fishy-sounding rumor of his own: "It's a stunt to get publicity for the seafood traceability legislation," he declared, referring to the Safety and Fraud Enforcement for Seafood Act—a bill that was introduced in Congress last summer but has yet to pass. The story on This American Life "leaves us pretty curious," he said, adding that any of "several environmental groups" might be behind it. "It's strangely interesting timing, coming right around the time that this legislation is being pushed."
These reactions, positive or negative, tell us less about what we know than what we don't. The food system is so opaque to most Americans that any rumor whatsoever—no matter how silly or improbable—can be blown across the landscape on the heavy winds of ignorance. Is rectum-calamari any less likely to exist than pink slime? If so, how could we ever know?
That's precisely why the mystery of what we eat and how it's made has become a factory for making myths. According to Jan Harold Brunvand, a folklorist at the University of Utah who has been cataloguing urban legends for more than 30 years, tales of contaminated food compose a major storytelling theme. In the 1970s, the most prominent of these accused McDonald's of spiking hamburgers with mealworms and Bubble Yum of being made from spider parts. (As it happens, the worms might not be such a bad idea.)
Contamination legends are just as prevalent today. When McDonald's Canada launched a transparency campaign last June, consumers posted spurious questions to the website. One wrote: "Is it true that you use lead paint in your muffins?" Another: "I heard that McDonald's used instant potato mix in their strawberry milkshakes … is this true?" And more than one was moved to ask if McDonald's still puts mealworms in its burgers.
What characterizes these stories and gives them such staying power? The imitation calamari offers up a nifty model of how these rumors spread; it gives us a chance to watch an urban legend in its embryonic form. On his website, Brunvand lays out some standard features of the rumor, each of which describes the hog-bung story on the nose.
First, it must be transmitted at each step through "a friend of a friend." That's how I came to this topic, after all: I heard about the bung from a friend, who got it from This American Life. The piece reveals that Calhoun heard it from a listener, who got it from a farmer. The farmer heard it from a meat processor, who got it from his bosses. And so on.
The legend must also have "a strong basic story-appeal"—some twist or resolution that makes it memorable. The genius of the calamari tale is in its central metaphor and the instant recognition that a puckered ring of squid might represent a puckered mammal's anus. That's not just gross; it's diabolical and ingenious—the perfect twist for a perfect caper.
A legend doesn't stick unless it has "a foundation in actual belief." Contamination stories arise from our basic distrust of corporations, Brunvand has written, and a default belief that processed food is dangerous and unhealthy. That's why so many of them accrue to fast-food restaurants—not just in the case of McWormburgers, but also with old-time legends like the Kentucky Fried Rat or the Mouse-in-a-Coke. (The latter dates back to the early 20th century.)
That focus on the culinary déclassé may be why the calamari legend has been so late to surface. I searched the Nexis database, but the only prior reference to butt-squid that I could find occurred in 2010 in an advice column for Deadspin: "My girlfriend's brother is one of the leading swine veterinarians in the U.S.," one reader wrote, "and last summer he informed me that imitation calamari is made from pig rectum." (Notice the telltale friend-of-a-friend format.) That recent vintage makes more sense when you consider that calamari was not so long ago considered "haute cuisine." In the late 1980s, fried squid appetizers were part of a new trend in American eating; now the dish is downmarket and mainstream—just the sort of lowbrow food that's susceptible to folklore smears.
Brunvand's third requirement is that a story has "a meaningful message or moral." Contamination legends reveal a sense of guilt for relying too much on packaged, processed foods, he writes. In modern foodie circles, that feeling of disconnection is as urgent as it's ever been. The radio segment sums up our lesson in a phrase: "It's payback. It's payback for our blissful ignorance about where our food comes from and how it gets to us."
When Calhoun realized that he had no proof about the hog bung and that he wouldn't ever find it—when he realized that it was, in effect, an urban legend—he chose to switch directions. "The piece got rechartered halfway through," he told me. Instead of pitting the consumer against the industry, as urban legends tend to do, Calhoun cleverly chose to focus on the merits of the scrappy, crappy bung. He started rooting for the rectum. Here's the turn as it showed up in the broadcast:
I realized that this is not a story about fraud. It's not a bait-and-switch story. It's a story about possibility. It's classic rags to riches. It's about whether a cut of meat—perhaps the lowliest, most malignable cut of meat in America—might somehow, in at least one place on the planet, be dipped in the redemptive oils of the great culinary equalizer that is the deep fryer. And it might emerge transformed, no longer an outcast, but instead hair combed, clean shaven, in a suit and tie. It might walk reborn onto a table. Through sheer force of resemblance, it might be loved. Its history, years of drudgery and hardship, doing the body's least glamorous job, all washed away.
That is to say, Calhoun started with an unsubstantiated fraud, and then he deep-fried it into something else. He battered up a newborn urban legend and served it as the story of an underdog.
"I don't want to deprive anybody of any kind of pleasure from something they enjoy," he said this week, reflecting on the fact that in spite of this, some listeners might now be swearing off of calamari altogether. "I guess if somebody had made that decision, my initial feeling would be to feel sorry," he continued. "Beyond that, I would hope that there would be some additional pleasure that they would have in the way they looked at the world." No, he doesn't think that hog bungs are really being served as squid. But, in a way, wouldn't it be more exciting if they were?

Manufacturers take great care in packing dog food products using state-of-the-art technology. This is done to increase the shelf life of dog food and make sure it retains its nutritive value and flavor. However, once you break open the seal, preserving the dog food becomes your responsibility. Exposure to humidity, air, and high temperatures drastically speeds up the rate of degradation. This is exactly why the importance of properly storing dog food increases many folds when you buy a month's worth of food at a single go. Thankfully, it's not rocket science. Simply buy a quality dog food container that creates an airtight lock and keeps the contents dry and cool. Here's a tip, store the food in its original bag and place the entire thing inside the airtight pet food container. This helps preserve the food for a much longer time as well as keep the insides of the container clean.There are several plastic dog food storage containers available at PetCareRx. These containers are perfect for storing kibble and can lock in the freshness of the product for a long period of time. They also make sure the pet food is not contaminated by rodents, cockroaches, or other pests. Buying a dog food storage container may seem like a luxury but this simple purchase can make all the difference in keeping your beloved pet healthy.

#1 All Quiet on the Waziristan Front as Al Qaeda Goes Dark05-14-2010, 11:25 PMAll Quiet on the Waziristan Front as Al Qaeda Goes Dark
Five Months Since Al Qaeda #2 Ayman al Zawahiri's Last Tape
By BRIAN ROSS and RICHARD ESPOSITO
May 13, 2010
After years in which he became a familiar television presence, al Qaeda's number two leader Ayman al-Zawahiri has "gone dark," according to people who monitor audio and video messages released by the terror group.
Zawahiri has not been seen or heard since December 2009, "the longest gap he has had in nearly six years," according to Ben Venzke of the IntelCenter, which monitors al Qaeda messages for governments, businesses and the media.
A US official said there is "no reason" to believe that Zawahiri has been killed or injured in recent months but that "it is possible" he and other al Qaeda leaders "have new concerns about their security."

How are ppl confused?..
No black zetsu isn't actually madara, its his will...you know, they have the same personality, thoughts, ambitions...
Basically black zetsu exists for those moments when tobi says to himself "what would madara do?" He can just ask black zetsu...
You make a interesting point with regards to itachi tho...when he referred to madara as a shell of his former self...is it possible he figured out black zetsu origins somehow and was referring to him and not tobi?

many things are getting clear....
at least, Obito didn't blame Kakashi at all about Rin's death... (well, only little)
wow! Obito hold so many potentials... He's really like Madara's descendant...
it's not wrong at all if he claimed himself as Uchiha Madara...
is it the end of flashback arc?

Can't we just call Madara a god and be done with it.
All mysteries trace back to him and he seems omnipotent in all this techniques and abilities... Pretty bad development story wise. But at least most mysteries are resolved. Still don't get the 4th hokage vs Tobi fight, or the 4th mizukage brainwashing. Hope they'll get resolved in time. And next week back to Naruto? or perhaps Sasuke? or still more flashbacks?

i'm still not satisfied with this new development. i still think the zetsu is a pretty convenient plot device to explain obito's sudden growth. if he needs knowledge, he uses the zetsu, if he needs to impersonate madara, he consults zetsu. it answers most of the earlier questions but i don't like it. but that's just me. maybe it stems from the fact that obito turned dark side because of rin. i was hoping there was more to it than that but i guess that's all there is to it. it's all about rin! all this insanity because of a girl! he must have had a serious crush on her. a dream world where you can create anything? sounds like a kid's wishful thinking. maybe obito never grew up.

Still think it's a pathetic reason to start a war, cause the death of thousands, force your own sensei to seal himself and his wife while sealing a tailed beast in their own child.
All for a crush, who loved someone else

"The AEC industry continues to adopt an increasingly mobile and collaborative approach to business and projects, and AEC firms are looking for the latest tools to support their on-the-go workforce," said Sal Sheikh, Vice President, Marketing, Oce Wide Format Printing division of Oce North America. "Combining advanced large format print systems with mobile print capabilities gives AEC companies the flexibility to print high quality, color and black & white engineering and design documents in the field, without disrupting their workflow. Now, users can have immediate access to the documents they need, when they need them."
Large Format Printing Meets a Mobile Workforce
As work environments become more collaborative, the need to share, view and print engineering and design documents from a variety of locations is growing. Using Oce Publisher Mobile App for iPad, users can send prints directly to an Oce wide format printer within reach of a Wi-Fi router that is part of their company's network. Now, mobile workers can quickly access and print documents if, and when, they need them – whether different locations within an organization's own campus, facilities or construction sites.
Using the Wi-Fi configuration on the iPad device, users can retrieve scanned PDF, PLT (HPGL1/2), TIFF, JPEG and DWF files via email or other cloud-based applications, then send a print request to a supported Oce wide format device – including all Oce ColorWave®, Oce PlotWave®, TDS and TCS systems – via Oce Publisher Mobile App for iPad
Mobile Printing Creates a Flexible Workflow
Combining advanced large format print systems with mobile print capabilities gives AEC professionals the flexibility to print high-quality construction documents in the field, without disrupting their workflow. Employees no longer have to worry that they have all the documents they may need stored on a jump drive or printed as hard copies before they go into the field.

Rihanna isn't one to shy away from showing some skin, but this weekend she chose to cover up … sort of — she shielded her face with over-the-top sunglasses!
The stylish superstar performed at the BBC Radio 1's Hackney Weekend, a free music festival in honor of the upcoming Olympics, while rocking crazy shades on Saturday and Sunday.
Making a surprise appearance during her mentor Jay-Z's headlining set on the first night of the concert, Rihanna sported binocular-inspired KTZ by Linda Farrow Project spectacles teamed with her signature red lip and extra-long talons.
The Bajan beauty headlined her own set on Sunday while donning a pair of statement-making gold-embellished Mercura NYC stunners paired with an equally eye-catching House of Lavande vintage gold spiked collar necklace.
Although these styles might be too over-the-top for your average girl on the street, we're actually kind of loving them on Rihanna. Tell us: Are Rihanna's sunglasses cool or crazy? Would you wear them?

Beth Orton - (Set time: 10:00 PM)
Sugaring Season, Beth Orton's first album in six years and her Anti- Records debut, is available now. Recorded in Portland, Oregon, with producer Tucker Martine (My Morning Jacket, The Decemberists), the album bears the fruits of a period of introspection & renewal.l: deeply lyrical songwriting, a newfound expressivity of voice, and, more than ever before, a daring synthesis of her broad musical influences into a powerfully individual artistic vision. "I stretched myself as a singer on this record and used voices I never have before as a writer," she explains. "A lot of the writing on this record happened in the dead of night, when spiders mend their webs, with an infant asleep in the next room... as a result, my writing became a secret again: illicit and my own."

Jenn Wasner is the inimitable front-belter for Baltimore duo Wye Oak, and lately she's also been releasing some pretty great solo music under her Flock Of Dimes pseudonym. Now she's got a third project going: Dungeonesse, a duo with White Life's John Ehrens. (Baltimoreans who name their band after misspellings of crab species deserve high-fives.) The duo bonded over a mutual love of R&B and dance-pop, and their debut single "Drive You Crazy" is a jumpy, hyperactive attempt at those sounds. The song's video, from director Matthew Yake, captures Wasner and friends at a Baltimore dance-party, and it cuts so quickly that you barely have any idea what's going on. Watch it below.
The "Drive You Crazy" 12″ is out 12/4 on Secretly Canadian, and there's an album coming next year.

Who are the Boston Marathon Bombing Victims?
Two bombs were detonated at the finish line of the Boston Marathon Monday afternoon. Three people were killed and 176 were injured. Investigators in Boston are saying the bombs were made using pressure cookers, filled with nails and ball bearings. And the explosive was ordinary gunpowder, that you can buy from sporting goods stores.
We've also learned some more sad details about the three people killed in the bombing.
29-year-old Krystle Campbell of Arlington, Massachusetts was at the marathon cheering on a friend. Her parents were initially told that she survived. But when they got to the hospital, they found out she hadn't.
Eight-year-old Martin Richard of Dorchester, Massachusetts was at the race with his mom and his six-year-old sister, cheering on his dad, Bill. Martin was killed in the blast, his sister lost her leg, and his mother Denise required brain surgery. Both of them are still hospitalized.
The third victim's name hasn't been released, but he was a graduate student from China who was studying at Boston University, and watching the marathon with a few friends. One of the friends is still in the hospital, in stable condition.
President Obama spoke again about the Boston bombing yesterday. It was the first time he called the attack an act of terrorism. He said his first thoughts were with the victims. And they still don't know whether it was done by a terrorist group, or by a single person.
Too often we remember the criminal more than we do the victims. Leave your condolences in the comments section below and let's remember the good people that lost their lives or were injured in the Boston Marathon bombing.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai is meeting with members of the Senate to discuss what Republican leader Mitch McConnell says are mutual goals for the two countries.
Karzai sat down on Wednesday for a private session with McConnell and a few members of the Foreign Relations and Armed Services panels, Sens. Bob Casey, Tim Kaine and Deb Fischer. The small attendance reflects the fact that the Senate is on a two-week break and most lawmakers are out of Washington.
In brief remarks, Karzai said he hopes to return to Afghanistan with, in his words, "what the Afghans expect of me to take back."

I write to you as an American who was once not an American. Of course, all Americans, at one time, were not Americans, but there is still a prototype: the Christian American of European descent. I'm not in that majority, so I write to you as something of an American, but also as a non-American.
You ask me what I would advise a young psychiatrist beginning a career in another country? I would first bring to your attention what you already know: the world has one great power—America. This country is not just a military power; it is a cultural force. In psychiatry, it has taken over almost every country at least as effectively as its political forces vanquished Soviet communism.
All psychiatry, anywhere in the world, is American psychiatry. This is both bad and good.
First the bad. DSM is a primary source of American domination of world psychiatry. It may not have been meant to be so: it is, after all, the diagnostic system for the American Psychiatric Association. But, as the Soviet Union fell, DSM rose: America's political triumph translated on all levels, including medicine and psychiatry. The changes of DSM-III in 1980 had become worldwide in their influence by the post–Cold War years of the 1990s.
I went to Quebec about a decade ago. Older French-speaking psychiatrists listened to their "American" visitor politely, and then one of them commented privately to me: "Young man," he said, "our residents used to read the classic French thinkers: Pinel, Morel, Esquirol. They read Henri Ey's textbook of psychopathology. Now they only read DSM. Ey's textbook was 700 pages long; the major illnesses in DSM can be read in 70 pages." He shook his head in disgust.
Honest American psychiatrists know and admit that DSM, by simplifying psychopathology and diagnosis to a bare minimum of criteria, has ruined a generation of clinicians who haven't heard of anything not included in the manual and whose knowledge of the manual itself is limited to baldly described criteria. A few years ago, Nancy Andreasen, a force in DSM-III, admitted that phenomenology—the field of careful attention to symptoms, the kind of work Ey exemplified—had literally been killed by DSM-III.1 This is like a cardiologist who can no longer discern heart sounds, or a neurologist unable to use a reflex hammer.
Psychiatry is simple, so simple: like being a Volkswagen mechanic, a New York clinician infamously stating the painful truth.2 This false sense of simplicity hides a complex truth: We have lost the ability to accurately recognize our patients' signs and symptoms; hence, we routinely misdiagnose, then we mistreat. And throughout the process, we have little clue that we might be wrong. And most of the blame has to do with DSM-III onward: simplistic criteria that are often wrong, partly because they are explicitly non–research-based; and when they might be right, DSM's baleful influence of being a teaching tool, replacing careful phenomenology, has dumbed down the clinical capacities of my generation.

Plow truck fire likely caused by a pile of acornsBy BENJAMIN C. KLEIN
Union Leader Correspondent
January 21. 2014 11:47PM
CANDIA - Candia and Raymond Fire Departments responded to a plow-truck fire on Route 101 West Tuesday morning that Raymond fire officials say was caused by a stockpile of acorns in the engine.
No one was hurt when the plow truck, which was not in service, pulled over with a fire in the engine.
"It was a minimal fire. The breather element was clogged. It's where fresh air goes into the engine. The driver is fine. There were no injuries or problems," Raymond Deputy Chief Peter Hammond said.
Hammond said he was told it was a state truck, and he believes it was being taken to be sold at auction.
"This wasn't a truck in service, it wasn't being used. The driver had a chase vehicle, so once he saw the smoke he just got out and waited for firefighters to arrive," Hammond said.
While he has seen fires started by food stockpiles by rodents in the past, Hammond said this is the first time he has ever seen one start a fire in a moving truck.Hammond said where the truck pulled over, which was by mile marker 109, is only a couple hundred feet past Raymond into Candia.
"It's the end of our town and the end of their town, so it was a run for both of us to get there, almost three miles," Hammond said.
Raymond was first on the scene, followed by a truck from Candia.

"Super cute and can use this card for all occasions"
"Create awesome cards for family occasions. Love the convenience of being able to create them on the website and send directly to the recipient. However, I wish their was a link that asked when you want the card sent to the recipient ao I could order some cards earlier. For example, my niece's birthday is May 2 but do not want her to receive the card this early. So I am waiting until the end of the month to order the card because I like to send her's directly to her via Shutterfly's mail service as well."

The network announced Friday that Cain, a failed Republican presidential contender in 2012, will be a network contributor. Cain, the former president and CEO of Godfather's Pizza from Georgia, will also contribute to the Fox Business Network.
Cain said he's looking forward to the job because it is "an opportunity to be one more voice for intelligent thinking in America."
Fox has been shuffling its contributor lineup since the election. It has hired Dennis Kucinich, Scott Brown and now Cain, while cutting ties with Sarah Palin and Dick Morris.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Cal Poly's Mason Radeke and Jeff Johnson combined to strike out 17 UC Santa Barbara batters on Friday in the opener of a three-game series as the Mustangs took the first game, 6-4, over the Gauchos.
It was UCSB's sixth loss in its past eight games as the Gauchos fall to 12-12 overall and 0-1 in the Big West. Cal Poly improves to 11-14, 3-1. The game is part of the Blue-Green Rivalry between the schools.
Radeke, who hails from Santa Barbara, struck out 13 Gauchos, one shy of his career-high. Johnson struck out four Gauchos in his two innings of work, including all three in the ninth to record his fourth save.
Radeke outdueled Jesse Meaux (2-3), who allowed four earned runs on seven hits in 5.2 innings. However, his biggest downfall was the fact that Meaux tossed three wild pitches and hit three other batters. The senior from Glendale, Calif. has not gotten past the sixth inning in each of his last three starts.
After Cal Poly scored single runs in each of the first three innings, UCSB rallied in the fourth inning with three runs to tie it. Mark Haddow's single scored Brandon Trinkwon before Sean Williams and Haddow each scored on groundouts.
Unfortunately, Meaux couldn't hold the Mustangs in check. A run-scoring double and a sac fly gave Cal Poly a 6-3 lead in the top of the fifth. UCSB got one back in the fifth on Haddow's RBI single, but that was as close as the Gauchos got as they had just three hits the rest of the way.
Santa Barbara outhit Cal Poly 9-8 as Williams, Haddow, Ryan Palermo and Joe Wallace had two hits apiece.
UCSB and Cal Poly continues its Blue-Green Rivalry on Saturday and Sunday with games at 1 p.m. The games can be heard live on AM 1290 or online by clicking here. Tickets are available by clicking here or by calling (805) 893-UCSB.

Families of church shooting victims considering lawsuit against Air Force
SAN ANTONIO (SBG San Antonio) -- Some families are considering filing a lawsuit against the U.S. Air Force following an error that allowed the shooter to buy guns.
The shooting at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs left 26 people dead and more than two dozen other injured.
Attorney Thomas J. Henry held a news conference Tuesday concerning the shooting. Henry first expressed condolences for the family and friends of the victims killed and injured in the church shooting. He stated he has received inquiries from several individuals concerning the matter and that he and others were now calling for steps to be taken to ensure a tragedy like the Sutherland Springs shooting never happens again.
Henry brought up the fact that Devin Kelley, the man accused of carrying out the mass shooting, had been court-martialed for family violence but that his criminal record had not been properly reported, which would have prevented Kelley from purchasing weapons.
He told reporters that he and others want to make sure the government conducts an in-depth analysis of the incident and wants a Blue Ribbon Committee, which is Senate committee tasked to investigate alleged wrongdoings of the government, to work with the government to make sure all incidences such as Kelley's conviction, have been reported. He stated he intends to help put full pressure on the government to determine "now" exactly what is missing from the database used to grant or deny gun purchases, not at some unspecified later date.
Henry said he has received inquiries from several individuals but has not filed any lawsuits in connection with the shooting. He explained that a federal claim would need to be filed before a lawsuit is brought against the government. He pointed out that the government frequently claims it is exempt in many of the cases but said this incident does not involve any "discretionary matter" but instead involves a legally-declared mandate to report crimes.
He then stressed that this is a good time for the government to reach out the surviving victims and the families of the victims killed in the shooting to help them recover, including financially. He stated an attorney really shouldn't have to get involved, but that he would if necessary.

A first-person sci-fi RPG epic, Soul Hackers tells of a city held up as a beacon of humanity's triumph of technology, but with an infernal secret. In this would-be utopia, a group of hackers takes on a centuries-old mystic society, and a battle for control over humanity's fate is about to begin.
Soul Hackers will make its debut in North America with a variety of new gameplay features, enhancements, and a full English localization. In the classic tradition of Shin Megami Tensei, players will have the compelling choice throughout their dungeon exploration to fight the enemy demons they encounter, or negotiate with them in an attempt to turn them into allies and teammates.
Soul Hackers on 3DS includes access to 30 additional demons, a new opening animation movie and theme song, improved controls, and quicker loading times. Additionally players can use the 3DS' bottom screen as an auto-mapping function, and engage a COMP hack to change difficulty levels on the fly and fill out maps without walking through. After clearing the game initially, the 3DS version of Soul Hackers also delivers an extra dungeon, where players will witness the appearance of Raidou Kuzunoha from the previous Devil Summoner games.
True collectors and fans that pre-order or pick up the game at retail launch will be treated to a limited edition boxed set that contains the game along with a CD filled with newly arranged versions of the game's beautiful musical themes. Voted on by fans in Japan, the top six tracks are included on the CD. Although Soul Hackers will also be available for digital download purchase on Nintendo eShop, the music tracks will only be available in the retail launch box version, and those quantities will be limited. Pre-ordering at participating retailers is recommended to secure the bonus item and packaging.

(1) Training designed to build within principals the minimum qualities, proficiencies and skills that will be required of all principals pursuant to the rules of the state Board;
(2) Specialized training and professional development programs for all principals; and
(3) Specialized training and professional development programs for the following principals:
(A) Newly appointed principals;
(B) Principals whose schools have been designated as seriously impaired, which programs shall commence as soon as practicable following the designation;
(C) Principals subject to improvement plans; and
(D) Principals of schools with significantly different grade level configurations.
(b) The Legislature finds that the quality of the principal of a school is one of the most important factors in determining the academic achievement of students and that well-trained, highly qualified principals should be a priority for the state.
(b) The Legislature further finds that while the Principals Academy has been effective in training quality leaders for the state's public schools, the training provided is such a significant factor in determining their success that a new position is needed to coordinate and focus primarily on the Principals Academy to increase further the quality of the training.
(c) Therefore, from appropriations to the Center for Professional Development, the Center Board shall employ and fix the compensation of the Coordinator of the Principals Academy. The Coordinator serves at the will and pleasure of the Center Board.

Steve Bisciotti's 'family''
Aaron Wilson: Inside the raucous Ravens locker room at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, majority owner Steve Bisciotti moved his victory cigar to his left hand from his right. The self-made Anne Arundel County businessman and billionaire, a fixture on Forbes' annual list of the richest Americans, needed his right hand free to shake hands and high-five players. Wearing a fashionable sports coat and a huge smile that wouldn't quit after the Ravens' dramatic 34-31 Super Bowl win over the San Francisco 49ers, Bisciotti, 52, made his rounds after spending time with his family, including his wife, Renee. Bisciotti sought out reserve safety James Ihedigbo for a huge hug, telling the special-teams contributor that he loved him and calling him his "good-luck charm." Ihedigbo was in the Super Bowl a year ago with the New England Patriots. "Mr. Bisciotti is just a good guy," Ihedigbo said. "He cares about us. You can see that, you can feel that. We aren't just players to him. He treats us like we're his sons, like we're family." What those close to Bisciotti remark on is how grounded he has remained, a regular guy content to puff a cigar and swig a beer or two with old friends. He meets a ton of people but has a knack for remembering every name. It's the personal touch that Bisciotti is all about, taking time to make sure his players, coaches and staff know that he appreciates them. Winning the Super Bowl was a watershed moment for Bisciotti, whose financial support provided a huge assist to the Ravens during their first Super Bowl run in 2000, when the team was still under the control of the late majority owner Art Modell. On March 27, 2000, NFL owners approved the sale of a 49 percent stake in the Ravens from Modell to Bisciotti. On April 9, 2004, the NFL approved Bisciotti's purchase of the remaining 51 percent for $325 million. The Severna Park graduate grew up as a big Baltimore Colts fan, often visiting training camp as a child in Westminster, where he met his hero, Johnny Unitas. Now, it's Bisciotti who has emerged as a Baltimore football luminary, the owner and leader of his own Super Bowl-winning franchise. "He's a great personality," coach John Harbaugh said. "He's a very strong guy. He's a very smart man. He's the guy that establishes the vision for the organization, and I think Steve deserves a lot of credit. He's not a guy that wants the limelight. He's not a guy that wants to be out front banging his chest. He's a humble man."

This associated press article appeared in The Recorder on September 14, 2001. It reports on the rapid and large scale reaction of the United States Congress to the bombings of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon by a terrorist cell on September 11, 2001. The spending bill was designed so that part of the $40 billion dollar package could be used to create a broad security program including surveillance, intelligence gathering, and detention of unlawful enemy combatants. Through this Congress hoped to keep the United States safe from further terrorist attacks. The author observes that "approval of such a vast sum just days after Tuesday's calamitous events would be lightening speed for a Congress that usually takes weeks or months to approve money for anything." The article goes on to state that "both [Republican and Democratic] parties seemed eager to approve separate legislation endorsing a presidential use of force against those responsible for the attacks." This grant of discretionary power to the President was ultimately used to authorize the invasion of Iraq and the toppling of the Baathist regime of Saddam Hussein. The journalist expresses concern for this rush to expand the war powers of the President. The author recalls the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution which "Johnson and subsequent presidents used - to wage the Vietnam War, to the subsequent regret of many lawmakers."

Hawks win, Titans grab second at Class meets
