(S.D.)-Crops Progress In State Despite Rain And Strong Wind
By: Roxie Graham-Marski Posted at: 11/01/2012 08:27 AM SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - Despite rain and strong winds last week, farmers and ranchers in South Dakota had five days for fieldwork and brought the harvest season closer to the end.
The U.S. Agriculture Department says in its weekly crop and weather report that 95 percent of winter wheat has been planted, which is behind last year and the five-year averages of 98 percent. Twenty-three-percent of winter wheat has emerged, behind last year's estimate of 90 percent and the five-year average of 88 percent.
Sunflower was 92 percent harvested, above last year's 78 percent and average of 42 percent.
Cattle conditions were rated at 67 percent good to excellent, 29 percent fair and 4 percent poor.

The lights are on
What new ideas the game brings to the table and how well old ideas are presented.
How good a game looks, taking into account any flaws such as bad collision or pop-up.
Does the game's music and sound effects get you involved or do they make you resolve to always play with the volume down?
Basically, the controller to human interface. The less you think about the hunk of plastic in your hands, the better the playability.
Flat out, just how fun the game is to play. The most important factor in rating a game.
Whether exploring levels with my young nephews or furiously harvesting new characters on my own, I've developed a great fondness for the LEGO adventure games. But I can't endorse the dramatic and unfortunate new direction in Indy 2. While I appreciate the desire to try something new with the game structure after so many titles, the resulting mishmash of ideas is frustrating, repetitive, and unfriendly to both kids and adults.
Collecting studs and bashing enemies over the head until they break apart both remain central to the moment-to-moment gameplay – only the wider context of levels and progression have changed. For the sequel, Traveller's Tales returns to the earlier movies. But in a weird twist, every movie has brand new levels in place of those from the first game; in most cases, these shorter levels are built around a single small area and bound within a large hub designated for each film. The new movie, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, is allotted the other half of the new levels.
Beyond the obvious strangeness of playing through new encounters in scenes we've already acted out in an earlier game, several other unusual design decisions left me shaking my head. The arena-like environments lose any sense of adventure and exploration, and instead introduce tedium with strings of identical enemies to fight and oddly confusing boss battles. Occasionally you gain control of an unwieldy vehicle and go spinning about the world bumping into things – rarely the things you hoped to bump into, mind you. Once you emerge from one of these small levels, you're faced with a large, lifeless hub world and given little direction about what happens next in the story or where to find that next plot piece. Were it not for a nice selection of hidden items in these central stages, I'd call the sections a complete waste of time.
Some bright spots shine through, including improved visuals. This is the best looking LEGO game yet. There are lots of items, vehicles, and weapons to uncover, many of which have unique and humorous animations connected to them. Gathering new characters is also important, since each one usually has a default item that comes in handy in certain situations. I also love the inclusion of a level creator – a huge bonus for folks who may have been wondering why it took this long for one of these games to include such a feature.
The versatile level creator opens many possibilities for fun, but the simplified approach to laying one item after another means that creating any meaningful, playable stages takes a long time. Unlocking parts to use in the creator also gives something extra to spend your studs on, but would-be levelmakers may be frustrated that they don't have a more robust set of items from the start. I also thought the adventure creation tool was pretty neat – a few simple choices help you craft your own story level, albeit one mostly based on stages you've visited in the main game.
If you've been waiting to explore these creative features, LEGO Indiana Jones 2 delivers in a big way. For other LEGO enthusiasts, keep collecting those studs in LEGO Star Wars or find that last unlockable LEGO Batman character. Indy's newest adventure wasn't built to last.

MORRISON, Ill. (AP) -- Opening statements are expected to start Monday in the second trial of a man accused in the 2008 deaths of eight people in Illinois and Missouri.
Jury selection ended Friday with three alternates chosen, to join the 12 jurors selected earlier in the week to hear the trial of Nicholas Sheley.
Jurors include a certified nursing assistant, a retiree and a farmer.
The 33-year-old Sheley has pleaded not guilty in the slaying of 93-year-old Russell Reed of Sterling.
Prosecutors alleged Sheley killed Reed in his home and stole his wallet and car. His body was found in the trunk of his car three days later.
Sheley has already been convicted in the murder of a Galesburg man and faces trials in six other deaths.

Barbecued turkey
Total time: 3 1/2 hours, plus 3 days brining time
Servings: 14 to 16
Our recipes, your kitchen: If you try any of the L.A. Times Test Kitchen recipes from this week's Food section, we want photographic evidence: Click here to upload pictures of the finished dish.
1 (15- to 16-pound) turkey
3 tablespoons kosher salt, orange-pepper salt or lemon-thyme salt
1/4 pound hickory chips
Oil, for brushing the turkey
1. Wash the turkey inside and out, pat it dry and weigh it. Measure 1 tablespoon of kosher salt or the appropriate amount of a seasoned salt into a bowl for every 5 pounds the turkey weighs (for a 15-pound turkey, you'll need 3 tablespoons of kosher salt).
2. Sprinkle the inside of the turkey lightly with salt. Salt the outside, concentrating the salt where the meat is the thickest — on the breasts and thighs. It should look liberally seasoned but not oversalted.
3. Place the turkey in a 2½ -gallon sealable plastic bag, press out the air and seal tightly. If you can't find a large plastic bag, use a small garbage bag. Place the turkey in the refrigerator. Chill for 3 days, leaving it in the bag but turning it and massaging the salt into the skin every day.
4. Remove the turkey from the bag. There should be no salt visible on the surface, and the skin should be moist but not wet. Wipe the turkey dry with a paper towel, place it breast-side up on a plate and refrigerate uncovered for at least 8 hours.
5. On the day it is to be cooked, remove the turkey from the refrigerator and leave it at room temperature at least 1 hour. Be sure the drumsticks and wingtips are secured to the body to prevent scorching.
6. Place the wood chips in a pan and cover with water. Start the fire: Light the charcoal in a chimney and place a bread loaf pan in the center of the coal area of the grill's firebox (fill the loaf pan with ash to prevent flare-ups). When the coals are well lighted, distribute them evenly on either side of the loaf pan and let them burn until they are coated with ash.
7. Drain the wood chips and put them on top of the charcoal. Place the grill on top of the firebox.
8. Lightly brush the turkey with oil, then place it on top of the grill, centered in line with the loaf pan. Cover.
9. After 30 minutes, check the fire. If the coals are starting to die down, add another half-dozen on both sides to maintain an even, slow heat. If you use an oven thermometer, it should read in the 300- to 325-degree range.
10. Cook, adding more coals as necessary, until a thermometer inserted in the deepest part of the thigh, but not touching the bone, reads 165 degrees, about 2 to 2½ hours total grilling.
11. Remove the turkey from the grill, transfer it to a warm platter or carving board and tent loosely with foil. Let stand at least 30 minutes to let the juices redistribute through the meat. Carve and serve.
Orange-pepper salt: In a spice or coffee grinder, grind 2 teaspoons orange zest (about 2 oranges), one-half teaspoon whole cumin, 2 teaspoons whole black pepper, 4 whole cloves and 6 whole allspice to a fine powder. Add one-quarter cup kosher salt and grind again to distribute evenly.
Lemon-thyme salt: In a spice or coffee grinder, grind 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, 1 teaspoon lemon zest (about 1 lemon), 1 teaspoon dry mustard and one-half teaspoon garlic powder to a fine powder. Add one-quarter cup kosher salt and grind again to distribute evenly.

text: The U.S. Men's National Soccer Team is getting a boost in its campaign to qualify for next year's World Cup in Brazil, with wins against Jamaica last week and Panama on Tuesday (June 11). The U.S. men next face Honduras at a qualifier (in Sandy, Utah) in suburban Salt Lake City next Tuesday (June 18). A growing legion of American soccer fans has been supporting the team and have become increasingly organized and visible at bars and stadiums around the country thanks in part to efforts of a non-profit group called the American Outlaws. VOA's Michael Lipin joined the Outlaws at a friendly international earlier this month between the U.S. and Germany in Washington to see how they promote a love for soccer in a country dominated by other professional sports.

I picked up my new Cannondale Scalpel 29 Carbon 1 last Saturday. Wow! It is a very visually appealing bike to say the least. Some things the photos have not really shown were the width of the top tube and the S bend of the seat tube to make way for the front derailleur, very unique to be sure. The rear seat and chain stays are also very thick. In person, the bike just looks very aggressive and robust; it is nothing short of awesome. I ordered a large and elected to replace the XO brakes for the World cup version of XX. I decided to keep it a full SRAM kit for simplicity sake and also because my lbs has SRAM parts readily available. Weight on my size large was 23.04 lbs on the shop scale. Apart from adding an Arundel cage and XTR pedals it is bone stock.
So after picking it up on Saturday it was not until Monday that I was able to get my first ride in on the new machine. I want to preface my ride report with some of my experience. I am 62, 175 lbs and race CAT 1 XC, 100 milers, 24 hours, etc. Ive been moving away from XC towards endurance since Im getting tired of the pain of XC racing at 39! My previous bike was a Yeti ASR-C and I loved it. However, I had the chance to demo an Orbea 29er while the Yeti frame was being warrantied (for the 3rd time) and I really liked the feel of the 29er more underneath my gangly physique. The Yeti was an awesome bike but 3 frames being warrantied really concerned me so I sold it. I own a Cannondale Super Six and that is what led me to starting looking at this bike.
So first ride out: wow! When I first starting riding I knew from experience the big wheels would make the turns flow much more. This bike was better than the Orbea though because it rarely lost contact with the ground, despite how rough things became. Riding on hardback with heavy leaf cover with a root/rock scattered here there, I did not feel like I could override this bikes ability. I still did not push it to the limits, but I can say those limits are much greater than the Yetis. The adjective that kept running through my mind was direct. This bike is so precise, direct engagement of pedal input; direct feeling on the steering, direct shifting; everything just felt very connected if that makes sense. One example Ill give is running over a loose rock in the middle of the trail. Previous bikes would absorb the impact and then give a secondary bounce to the left or right, leading to a rough or unstable feeling. The Scalpel addressed this with a very secure feeling lateral bounce and rested back down with a very direct/solid feel. I think this has mostly to do with the combination of the Lefty and big wheel, but also contributing to this is the very noticeably light front end. This is the lightest front end I have ever felt on a bike, which has included carbon forks and high end 26 wheel sets. The pedaling input also feels very stiff and direct. It is the stiffest pedal input of any frame Ive ridden. I expected this because of the size of the PF30 BB and the massive seat stays and chain stays. One slight annoyance was that my calves would regularly hit the seat stay, nothing major and something I was able to overcome. On one climb that is very steep with rocks, Id have problems spinning out on the Yeti. I expected that not too happen on with this bike and I was right. The big wheels and suspension kept it securely hooked up and I motored up what used to be a 50/50 rideable hill. The Schwalbes only spun out one time climbing, but I think that was more gear selection and leaves over loose rocks. They seem like theyre going to work pretty well for me and running them at 27psi probably helped, but I think I may run them even lower next time out because the sidewall flex did not ever appear like I was coming close to the rim.
One other thing about this bike I noticed is that it is quiet, damn quiet. I kept trying to figure out what was different about the ride (besides the feel) and I realized I never heard the chain slap the frame. Im not sure if this is the XX derailleur or the design of the frame, but I noticed it and I really like it. The Yeti was louder than a busted chainsaw going through rock gardens, so maybe that it is why I noticed this bikes stealthy silence. The shifting also was very direct and quiet and I can tell that I am going to be very happy with the 2x10 setup. Having ridden XTR triple cranks for the last 6 years, this was a huge step up. If you been contemplating 2x10, do it; Im sold.
You can probably tell I am a huge fan of this bike, however; it cant always be all puppy dogs and ice cream. Some things that werent what I expected. As I mentioned I changed out the XOs to the XX WC brakes. Ive had Avid brakes in the past and I havent been a fan. Im not sure Ive changed my mind on these brakes. After riding XTR these felt really industrial on their modulation. I just dont like the metal on metal feeling you get with Avid/Sram brakes. I may switch the pads to organic to see if that will help because overall power is fine. One other strange thing is the cable routing on this bike. It looks like an afterthought. The derailleur cables run on the underneath side of the down tube, but the rear brake line runs on the top left of the down tube, being secured by a clamp that doubles as the lower bolt for the bottle cage. It makes for a weird juncture at the left side crank arm and really just kind of looks ugly on an otherwise beautiful bike. I dont know why they would not have just had all 3 cables/lines run down the bottom of the down tube. Nothing major, but I thought Id mention it. The area reserved for the bottle cage is also a little tight, but I was still able to use a 24oz bottle with just a slightly different process to get it removed and resecured quickly. These are not huge issues and do not take away from the primary purpose of the bike.
I have a pretty good bar to seat drop and I really feel secure and fast on this bike. I think I read on another forum somewhere the feeling of sitting in the bike vs. on the bike. I just feel it click in as soon as the pedals start turning. This bike does everything very well and I have no doubt we will see several thousand miles together, miles that will be seen a lot more quickly and comfortable than I have experienced in the past!

KUWAIT. Kuwait's government will spend US$6 billion to almost double the number of passengers its international airport is able to handle by the end of 2016, the head of the country's aviation regulator said.
Work will begin this year on adding a terminal and renovating infrastructure to raise capacity to 13 million passengers, Kuwait Civil Aviation President Fawaz Abdul-Aziz Al- Farah told reporters in Dubai today.
The airport, which is built to handle 7 million travelers a year, received 8.5 million passengers in 2011, and the figure may exceed 9 million this year, he said.
The expansion is part of Kuwait's US$111 billion four-year development plan announced in February 2010 to build a subway and rail network, expand the airport and construct power stations, hospitals, roads and a port for the nation of 3.7 million people.
Neighboring Qatar and the United Arab Emirates are building airports and expanding existing ones to accommodate growth in travel.
Kuwait International Airport's capacity may be expanded to 25 million passengers by 2025 and 50 million people by 2035, Al- Farah said.
The emirate's main carriers are Jazeera Airways, a low- cost operator, and state-owned Kuwait Airways.

:( I am sorry to say it has been a bad and sad couple weeks here. One of my doggie foster babies died from heart failure. She was a sweet little 8 year old shih tzu with a bad case of CHF . Although she had only been with us a few weeks we all loved her and were thinking of adopting her:It was not to be, sadly.
On top of this I just found out that my two cats in China ( who have been lovingly cared for by my friend Audrey Yanqing have also died. They were very loving sisters who were never apart and after Jade died her sister Pearl just wasted away with a broken heart and had to be put to sleep too. I was so looking forward to visiting with them when I go to China in September. Now I will see them all at the Rainbow bridge.

Misha Leybovich, co-founder of Meograph, an interactive storytelling tool (Photo by JD Lasica).
Start-up wants to democratize the creation of interactive video storytelling
Target audience: Journalists, educators, tourism professionals, broadcast news professionals, businesses, nonprofits, cause organizations, Web publishers, general public.
One appealing storytelling startup that launched four months ago, Meograph, gives online storytelling an added dimension that too often has been missing: context.
With Meograph, you can create what co-founder/CEO Misha Leybovich calls "4D storytelling" through a simple interface that lets users add images, video and text to a story they want to tell. It's free.
"The big vision is that we want to democratize the creation of interactive video storytelling," Misha said over coffee at ING Cafe in San Francisco earlier this month.
Today if you have a story to tell, you can publish a video to YouTube and write a blog post about it, but it starts to get funky if you want to add a lot of photos or tell how the story evolves over time. Meograph lets you create and share interactive stories that contain combine video with maps, a timeline and links, filling in that often missing context of where and when. Continue reading

It was inevitable that Capcom would bring Marvel vs. Capcom 2 to the App Store. Enough people are going to pay up to make the port a success, despite our obligatory grumbling about games like this not translating particularly well to touch-screen controls.
The price hasn't been listed yet, but the company does have a release date for North America and Europe; it's right around the corner: April 25, 2012. Marvel vs. Capcom 2 for iOS will have the full roster of characters and seemingly all of the other features you'd expect to be included. I suppose that's something.... read more

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. — Cars were mangled, and some were burned despite the blowing snow. Other vehicles were crushed between jackknifed semi-tractors, so entwined that it was difficult to tell them apart.
People were screaming, but emergency responders could not see many of them as they quickly tended to victims amid frigid conditions.
Within seconds, traffic along snow-covered Interstate 94 in northern Indiana had become a milelong pile of debris after whiteout conditions swept in during the Thursday evening commute. Three people were killed and nearly two dozen were injured.
''It was such a devastating scene, you don't know where to start,'' said Coolspring Township Fire Chief Mick Pawlik, whose volunteers were among the first on the scene 60 miles south of Chicago.
Rescuers set about prioritizing the victims based on the severity of their injuries.
The chain-reaction collision was triggered by a burst of heavy lake-effect snow that took drivers by surprise, said Indiana State Police Lieutenant Jerry Williams. In 45 seconds, dozens of vehicles — including numerous other trucks — crashed into one another.

NORTON SHORES (AP) – A young woman and two brothers have finished a planned 80-mile paddle board crossing of Lake Michigan from Wisconsin to Michigan.
Twenty-three year-old Craig Masselink, his 19-year-old brother Trent and their friend 21-year-old Ginny Melby left McKinley Beach on Sunday morning.
They were crossing to their families' cottages in Norton Shores, Mich. An online tracking system shows them at the Michigan shoreline and a posting on a Facebook page for the trip says they finished Monday morning, ahead of schedule.
They took turns paddling while the other two rode in a 40-foot support boat. Melby's mother and the Masselinks' father were aboard.
The paddle aimed to raise money for Restore International, a charity focusing on social justice issues in Uganda.

Pets Missing After Bangor Fire {Cause Determined}
UPDATE: 8:24:00am 7-8-13
Bangor Fire officials say investigators with the fire Marshal's Office have determined a faulty refrigerator is responsible for sparking a fire this morning.
Assistant fire Chief Anthony Riitano says 7 of the 10 units in the building were occupied and one man was transported to the hospital out of precaution to be checked for symptoms of smoke inhalation.
The fire is knocked down and the building is uninhabitable at this time.
Smoke and flames were reported showing this morning from an apartment building at 380 Hammond Street.
Bangor fire fighters had the fire knocked down pretty quickly and will work on determining its cause.
Some cats were reportedly missing after the fire.


text: A community group formed to restore and reopen the historic State Theatre downtown has signed a 20-year lease to operate it. Friends of the State Theatre president John Stagnone announced the lease signing last week with C&V Realty Investment Trust. Stagnone said the group hopes to restore the 1927 theater to its original glory and bring back movies, cultural arts, and local theatrical groups. Stagnone said he also hopes the restoration will help revitalize downtown Stoughton. "History has shown us how important cultural centers are to our economy and how surrounding businesses are spurred and thrive from each other," said Stagnone, who will be stepping down as a selectman in April. The Friends of the State Theatre are completing the paperwork to become a nonprofit corporation, and will be applying for grants, and seeking support from foundations, businesses, and individuals. Those wishing to become part of the group or to donate can go to www.statetheatre.us.

Legislature considers adopting trap/neuter/return as a statewide tactic to control feral feline populations.
Every day, irresponsible people decide they no longer want that kitten (now a cat) that looked so cute when they bought it for their child's birthday.
So they get in the car, drive to a place where they've seen cats congregating — maybe a farm, or a restaurant, or a vacant lot in another neighborhood — and they dump their responsibility on someone else.
As we all know, the world has plenty of stupid, callous human beings, so now it's also full of wild-roaming cats. There is a solution, at least a partial one. We could round them up, neuter them and return them to where they were found.
We're talking about the cats, by the way.
For the humans, we're going to rely on education. That's why the trap/neuter/return solution is only a partial one.
Honestly, there's no easy answer.
The Florida Legislature is considering TNR as a statewide approach, embodied in a bill sponsored by state Rep. Holly Raschein, D-Key Largo.
The bill would let counties adopt TNR as an official approach, and it would offer some legal protection to the cat lovers and veterinarians who do the work now as volunteers.
Caroline Resnick of Animal Rescue Coalition, Theresa Foley of Venice Cat Coalition and Barbara McCarten of St. Francis Animal Rescue are good examples.
For years, they have coordinated efforts to trap wild cats, spay and inoculate them, put kittens up for adoption, return healthy cats to their original homesites and set up networks of caregivers to feed them daily.
The idea is that the vaccinations will eliminate diseases, the feeding will cut down on predation of wildlife, and the neutering will cause the population to dwindle through attrition, or, at the very least, hold steady.
As a tactic, TNR has gained momentum in the past 10 years, partly because it recognizes the unwillingness of many people to kill animals that have already been victimized by human insensitivity.
That's one reason trap-and-kill approaches have not worked in controlling wild cat populations. A sizable segment of people won't report a feral cat to animal control if they view it as a death sentence.
TNR testimonials rely more on anecdotal evidence than scientific research. Maybe it's too hard to control all the variables. Foley and McParten, who work primarily in the Venice area, say the colony sizes there have diminished over the years. That implies success.
"If it's done 100 percent right, it works, and it has been done elsewhere in the country," says Tami Treadway, head of Sarasota County animal services. "I don't participate in it because of my position, but I believe in it."
Some of the most vehement opposition to the state TNR legislation comes from conservation groups such as Audubon Society and the Florida Wildlife Federation.
Cats kill birds and other smaller, wild animals. No doubt about that, although loss of habitat, pollution and, in the case of birds, flying into glass windows may pose greater threats than urban cat colonies.
As Foley puts it, "Things have changed in Florida. It's not the cats."
Nor is TNR designed to create cat communities so people can develop a hobby feeding them. It aims to slowly eliminate colonies that exist today and to prevent new ones from developing. If abandoned cats prey on wildlife, then lessening their numbers would be a good thing.
State Rep. Ray Pilon, R-Sarasota, voted for HB 1121 in a subcommittee. "No, it doesn't solve the entire problem," he said later. "But not doing anything doesn't solve it either."
That may sum up the most compelling argument for TNR. What we've been doing hasn't worked. This might.

ST. CHARLES – Forecasters are calling for unusually heavy wind gusts today as side effects from Hurricane Sandy along the East Coast are felt in the Chicago area.
The way the St. Charles East boys soccer team has been humming along, it might take an act of nature to temper the Saints' goal-scoring barrage. East, which has outscored opponents in four postseason wins by a 22-3 margin, takes on Warren tonight in an IHSA Class 3A Barrington Supersectional.
Fresh off an 8-1 thrashing of Larkin in Friday's sectional final, keeping level-headed might be East's greatest challenge.
"Coach keeps telling us, we're not there yet," said East junior T.C. Hull, who scored the Saints' first three goals against the Royals. "We want to get to state, we want to keep going farther, we're not done. You just can't get too high on yourselves. You keep working hard in practice."
East (20-2-1) has been a high-scoring team throughout the season, but considering the postseason stakes, recent results such as 7-1 over St. Charles North in the regional final, 4-0 over Streamwood in the sectional semifinals and the eight-goal outburst against Larkin have distinguished the Saints as a legitimate contender in the Class 3A field.
"After you've done it once or twice, you start to believe you can do it on a regular basis," East coach Paul Jennison said of the Saints' prolific scoring outputs. "Not to say that will happen all the time, but you start to think you have the quality to put the ball away like that."
East junior Daniel DiLeonardi joined Hull with a hat trick against Larkin. DiLeonardi said the Saints' hot starts have rattled opponents.
"Once we get a few goals, we get confident so we keep getting forward, and the other team has to compensate and attack more, and that opens up more space for us to attack in," DiLeonardi said.
The Saints' scoring recipe hasn't been complicated. They're just playing crisp soccer with tremendous confidence.
"We possess well and we move off the ball to create space for each other," DiLeonardi said. "And then we're all so skilled individually, so we're able to beat players 1-on-1 to get in good positions."
Jennison said he's not worried about the Saints' lack of second-half pressure so far this postseason, saying East showed it could handle tense circumstances with a pair of late goals to fend off Larkin during a key, conference match late in the regular season.
In facing Warren (19-5-3), East's string of facing three straight conference opponents in the postseason comes to a close. Warren nipped Barrington, 2-1, in the Rockford Auburn Sectional final Friday.
The Saints aim to qualify for the state semifinals for the first time since St. Charles High split at the turn of the century. If East wins, it would play at 5 p.m. Friday in the state semis against either Sandburg or Fenwick at Lincoln-Way North.
The excitement around the school is rising, Jennison said.
"It spurs these lads on when you walk around the hallway and you hear people talking about the soccer team and what we might be able to do and what could happen," Jennison said. "It's a lot of fun. It's a good time to play soccer at St. Charles East."

Sony HDR-TG7VE
Full HD point and shoot perfection?
Built into the top of the unit is a GPS receiver, which will record your location whenever it's got a clear line of site to the sky. Location data will then be embedded in any video or photos you record, so you can then view your captures on a map, either on the camera or with the bundled Picture Motion Browser (PMB) PC software.
The Picture Motion Browser application reveals the GPS tagged locations
Click for a full-resolution screen grab
The PMB application allows you to easily copy your footage to your PC or archive it to DVD or Blu-ray. When you import footage it will also scan it for faces and smiling people, so you can quickly find shots with people in them where they appear to be having fun. In practice, it can be a little hit and miss, but it's a nice extra.
You can review your footage in PMB and create basic edits, such as trimming shots to remove excess material. Once you've finished cutting your shots down, you can then upload them to video sharing sites, such as YouTube or Dailymotion with just a couple of clicks.
PMB is Windows-only, although you can import footage from the TG7 into iMovie on the Mac. However, this is a lengthy process and you'll end up with QuickTime files that take up around ten times as much space as the original AVCHD files.
The TG7 features on board smile detection, in the form of Sony's own Smile Shutter feature. With this enabled, it will automatically capture a high res photo of anyone it detects smiling in footage you're shooting - at the same time as you're filming. You can vary the sensitivity and tweak whether it should be looking for adults or children smiling.
On-camera connections are limited to a power socket for charging, a custom AV connector for Composite or Component Video out, and a docking station connector. Under the flap on the front you'll find the Memory Stick Duo slot, battery compartment and a switch to disable GPS. The supplied dock provides the same custom AV connector, an HDMI port, power socket and mini USB port. There is also an adaptor in the box that converts the dock connector to mini USB, so you don't need to lug the dock with you everywhere you go.

"Fedora 18 will be released at around the same time as Windows 8, and as previously discussed all Windows 8 hardware will be shipping with secure boot enabled by default. [...] We've been working on a plan for dealing with this. It's not ideal, but of all the approaches we've examined we feel that this one offers the best balance between letting users install Fedora while still permitting user freedom." Wait for it...

Yes because clearly running something other than Windows is going to be a cure all against pre-boot attacks. Take off the fanboy hat and think rationally for a bit. Secure boot processes are a step in the right direction
If only that were true. But how long do you think it's going to be before someone comes out with a bit of malware that gets signed with a rogue Microsoft key? And, since we the users won't be able to easily control what keys are in our hardware, that thing will just skip right through. How very secure. Open your eyes. Secureboot has nothing to do with security. Zero. It's security theater designed to give Microsoft the advantage. It's TSA for your computer. To hell with that.

Earlier today Kevin Levine, the co-founder of Irrational Games, announced that he's significantly downsizing the studio responsible for the Bioshock series.
This meant that most of the employees have been laid off, barring about 15 developers. Since then, an interesting hashtag has made its rounds on Twitter.
So does this mean bioshock for vita is a no go? wasn't this rumored or even announced a few yrs back?
The industry does this every time a studio closes down, especially a great team like Irrational. These are some of the most talented people in entertainment.
These guys are amazing!!!! I hope hey are snatched up and fast... its sad that Irrational is done!
MS, Sony, Rockstar, Crytal Dynamics, Bethesda! These guys need to snatch up this talent! hell. Sony or MS should hire them all and have them form a new studio to make games exclusively for their platform! Sony Preferably! :) But seriously. this pool of talent should be at home at a studio where their talents are best used, sad to see them go.
MS seriously needs to snatch up as many of them as they can, and form a new team under MGS. I'm still sick over how they let BioWare get away; no JE2, or KOTOR3 is a travesty.
EDIT: @ Sevir...LOL, we must have had a mind link going on or something.

You just finished a great workout at the gym. As you finish up your last "rep" you feel great about yourself. You made it to the gym today and everything felt great. You were able to keep up with the rest of the group, with the workout, and you can't wait to get back to the gym tomorrow.
You have decided that this is the year that you are going to fit into your "skinny jeans" or compete in your first adventure race. You have taken the steps that are necessary to get you off to a good start.
As you drive home you start to think about what you are going to eat for dinner. As you head into your house you open the fridge you notice that all you have is a bottle of hot sauce, a pizza box with two pieces left over from the weekend and three bottles of sugar-filled sports drinks.
Does this sound familiar? I think it is pretty common for people to neglect their nutrition plan when they start a new training program. You have good intentions but you have no idea where to start in terms of your diet. Knowing where and how to start can be confusing. One day you hear from a co-worker that you must follow Paleo. The next day your girlfriend/boyfriend says that you need to become a Vegan. You get my point. It can be frustrating to say the least. I am going to make this very simple for you.
Here are 10 foods that you should always have on hand just in case you come home and you need to make a quick nutritious meal.
1. Avocado
These should be in every house unless of course you are allergic to them. Why, because they are packed with vitamins and nutrients and can be eaten with breakfast, lunch or dinner. As we continue to learn fat is vital for optimal health and avocados are at the top of the list in my opinion. Add them to a smoothie or simple eat them solo in order to reap the benefits of this fantastic food.
2. Meat (beef/chicken)
I am not going to get into the difference between corn fed and grass-fed beef in this blog. When I talk about beef however, I am talking about the BEST beef that you can afford. I always recommend grass-fed from a farmer/butcher (I personally do not like store brand grass-fed). Meat offers several nutritional benefits (protein, omega 3 fats, B vitamins, etc.) that are hard to beat.
3. Kale
Kale is packed with Vitamins A and C, offering several benefits to people who consume it on a daily basis. Personally I like to throw kale in a morning smoothie with coconut oil and some fruit because I do not like the bitter taste of kale. With that being said it offers a host of benefits that I recommend you look into. If possible I would always recommend that you buy organic kale.
4. Coconut oil
Coconut oil has been called by many a true superfood. It can have a positive effect on brain function as well as weight loss. It's a medium chain fat that when taken before a workout can provide a tremendous boost of energy. Also, it is great to cook with since it can be heated to a high temperature.
5. Frozen berries (raspberry/blueberry)
If you like to make smoothies, berries (frozen or regular) are a must. Berries are high in antioxidants and vitamins. They also taste great so make it a point to add these to your plan. If you have frozen blueberries, leave them out and let them defrost for 15-20 minutes to get added nutritional value when thawed out.
6. Sweet potatoes
Carbohydrates have gotten a bad rap by many people over the past year. If you are looking for a great way to fuel up after a workout add in a sweet potato with your meal. It will slowly raise your insulin while providing nutritional value. They also provide B6 as well as Vitamin C as well as a host of additional nutrients.
7. Eggs (organic/free range)
Eggs provide 13 essential vitamins. Most people throw away the best part, the yolk. If you want to get lean and feel energized start to add eggs to your weekly plan.
8. Macadamia nuts
When you need a quick snack these work great. They provide Vitamin A, iron as well as zinc and magnesium. They are also easy to digest so they make the perfect snack or an addition to a salad or meal.
9. Kefir
I started to implement Kefir into my plan this last year and I love the way I feel after eating this fermented dairy. It helps strengthen the immune system and is a great way to add probiotics to your diet. Make sure that you purchase this from a trusted source and I would recommend that you buy this from a farmer or a reputable health food store. Most store brands have added sugar that you could do without. It's a great addition to a post workout or breakfast smoothie.
10. Mixed green salad (organic preferred)
A fantastic way for you to eat some raw food is to make a salad every day. It's simple. Add some mixed greens, peppers, avocado, cucumbers and olive oil. Make sure that when you eat your salad you stay away from fat free dressings. You want the fat because many of the vitamins are fat soluble so this helps with the absorption of these nutrients.
There you have it—10 foods that should ALWAYS be in your house. In a pinch you can make a great meal with these foods. Good luck with your new plan for 2014!

Funny to see everyone panicking about the subsidy being removed. Hopefully that panic will extend to them putting their gun players on the market.

http://www.hoopsworld.com/nba-pm-pho...iuCJAJT4K8l.99Why the Grizzlies Traded Rudy Gay Now
Why didnt the Memphis Grizzlies wait until after the season to trade Rudy Gay? Thats one of the biggest questions being asked after the Grizzlies decided to trade Gay to the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday evening. They were already out of luxury tax territory after trading Marreese Speights, Wayne Ellington and Josh Selby to the Cleveland Cavaliers so why not wait and give their core group one more postseason to try to contend in the Western Conference? While thats a fair question, the answer is simple: Gay had grown unhappy with the situation in Memphis and it was time for both parties to move on.Grizzlies brass had met with Gay last weekend and the small forward made it clear that he would welcome a trade.
Gay was also tired of hiding his frustration. While players like Mike Conley made it clear that they didnt want management to make a trade and would be upset to see the team broken up, Gay didnt seem like he cared what happened before the deadline. If the Grizzlies traded him, thatd be fine with him. Last week prior to the Grizzlies game against the Los Angeles Lakers, Gay was asked if he thought the front office would keep the teams core together. He used this opportunity to voice his frustration and take a shot at management.
It really doesnt matter what they think about us, Gay said of Memphis front office last week. Its all about whats in the locker room and what we think we can do. It really doesnt matter what they think.
Gay was sick of the trade rumors. He was tired of seeing his name surface in report after report.
For quite awhile, Gay had told people in his inner circle that he would welcome a trade from Memphis. Last offseason, he reached out to several players on teams that were pursuing him to discuss the possibility of playing together. Gay was never too fond of Memphis. He seriously considered leaving when he became a free agent in 2010, but he couldnt turn down a maximum extension. Gay signed for the money, not because he was attached or in love with Memphis.
Also, the Grizzlies were concerned that if they waited until the offseason to trade Gay, he would be able to hold the team hostage since he has a player option for the 2014-15 season. If Gay decided he was going to opt out of the final $19,317,326 of his contract to sign a new long-term deal, he would have some control over where he landed since he could scare teams off by refusing to make a long-term commitment. The Grizzlies didnt want this situation to mirror what the Denver Nuggets had to go through when they traded Carmelo Anthony. Anthony was in the final year of his contract and he refused to commit long-term to any team other than the New York Knicks, which left Denver with limited options.
Another aspect that has been overlooked is Gays shaky relationship with Zach Randolph. Behind the scenes, Gay and Randolph had butted heads for quite awhile. While Gay and Randolph tolerated each other, they werent close and had several spats over the years.
There were a lot of things happening behind the scenes that forced the Grizzlies hand. Gay was already upset with the trade rumors and delaying the inevitable would have made things worse, especially considering their options couldve been severely limited if Gay played his cards right. Not to mention, Gay and Randolph had butted heads, so its not like the Grizzlies broke up a perfect team that was guaranteed to make a deep postseason run. This was a dysfunctional situation.Now, the Grizzlies not only shed some salary, but they also acquired Tayshaun Prince, who is a good fit in Memphis, as well as a very promising young player in Ed Davis.
This was the right time to trade Gay, even if it seemed questionable from the outside looking in.

Once upon a time syncing worked, then it got worse and didn't do everything, then it stopped completely.
Syncing doesn't work at all, though File Transfer works. I've tried the USB default and TCP/IP settings. Ping works with the TCP/IP mode.
I checked C:program FilesSharp Zaurus 2Intellisync for ZaurusPtTrace.log. It has a lot of errors.

the D:/ paths are links to where he source was when it was compiled, without that source you will only know what module is erroring.
anyony care to guess what a "pumapist.cpp" file may contain :? brings forth images of force feeding alcohol to big cats
Are you using a usb hub? One suggestion which seems to crop up alot is to try putting the cradle directly into a usb port, preferably the one it was in on installation, or the one the hub was in on installation.

So, not having a D: drive is obviously causing some if not all your headache. You haven't mentioned you have so I'll assume you haven't, un-install the Sharp Zaurus Software and The Sharp SL Software. I would also manually remove the existing folders and any related registry keys. Reboot before you re-install. The naming convention of your error lines seem familiar, did you own a blackberry device previously?

Have you tried to isolate the problem by syncing only one set of PIM data (calendar, task list, email, notes, address book) at a time? Go into the Intellisync Config program on your PC, and clear the check marks for all except one PIM. If you are able to sync OK, try each of the PIM data sets in turn until you find the one causing the problem. Sometimes "bad" data (such as an embedded OLE object) in a record can prevent the sync from working. If you can identify which PIM is causing the problem, you may be able to find the bad record.
Assuming that you don't have any info in the PIMs on the Z that you don't also have in Outlook, you may want to try to click on "Clear Sync Info" in the PCLink app on the Z, then go into the Intellisync Config and choose "Import" for each of the PIMs. This will overwrite the data in the Zaurus PIMs, in case the data there is screwed up.

To answer some of the questions above.
1) I've never owned a blackberry.
2) I've reinstalled, rebooted, uninstalled, rebooted in every combination.
3) The problem definately seems related to the sync source.
A) when I try to choose my own calendar to sync, via the sync options
I don't see it. However, I can choose a different mailbox's calendar (sorry I can't really type what I see). When I choose a calendar
from a mailbox that is a valid option in the sync options program
the sync works fine.
same results with other data types like todo's, notes, email, etc.
so, does anyone know why my default calendar doesn't appear as a valid option in sync options?

Is the Personal folders your syncing local or on an Exchange server? If they are on an Exchange server then it will not work unless the exchange server is running locally on your PC.

To my knowledge I'm not syncing to personal folders as I understand it. I'm syncing to my Exchange Server mailbox.
The exchange server is definately not on my PC, its a corporate server. The syncing worked a while ago as I mentioned in my initial post.
If what you say about exchange servers is accurate then syncing is useless because I don't see the point of everyone running their own exchange server on their PC.
But I'll keep looking and thanks for the responses.

Yep, Sharp discontinued supporting sync. with Exchange server folders on the 3.1 rom release so I guess that would also include any of the 3.1 based roms as well. Either in here or on the devnet forums you'll find post regarding this.

Are you prompted to login to an Exchange server during synchronization? If no login, no access.
When you attempt synchronization, is Outlook open? Try to sync with Outlook closed.
In Outlook - Tools - Services select Microsoft Exchange Server and select properties. On General tab select Automatically detect connection. On Advanced tab select Password Authentication.
If none of this applies then I can't imagine the problem.

After troubleshooting more and more, reseting the image on the zaurus, reboots, upgrades, patches, reinstalls it is definately a problem with intellisync not being able to select my calendar.
I have a total of five email accounts that I open in my exchange profile. Intellisync can sync to any of them except my default account.
When I open the intellisync options, I highlight calendar and click choose. Then I highlight "microsoft outlook" and click browse. I can see all five mailboxes. I can also add each of the mailbox calendars except my real one. e.g. John Doe.
I am trying to determine if there is another program that is locking access to my real mailbox but cannot find anything.

I fixed the problem by removing all of my alternate mailboxes. Once I did that (and a reboot) the intellisync settings app. was able to see my own mailbox and calendar, todo's etc.
Later I re-added my additional mailboxes with no ill effect.
I can sync between Outlook 2000 and 2002 on my XP workstation.

East Lansing, MI – City councilman Nathan Triplett wants East Lansing to be a test site for a national high-speed fiber optic network now in the planning stage.
This week, Google announced plans to build a broadband network capable of delivering data at 1 gigabit per second to up to 500,000 people. The company is encouraging civic leaders and individuals to apply to make their local community a test site.
Councilman Nathan Triplett says East Lansing's investments in technology make it well suited for the project.
"I personally have been reaching out to my networks encouraging residents and MSU students to contact Google through the website they've established for that purpose recommending East Lansing and our region as the potential test site for this new fiber optic network," Triplett says.
Google will take applications online until March 26.

ADDISON COUNTY — Most property owners in the five-town area are seeing higher tax bills than last year.
Selectboards in Bristol, Lincoln, Monkton, New Haven and Starksboro set municipal tax rates in the past month or so to pay for town staffing obligations and highway spending.
Town leaders have also received final homestead and non-residential school tax rates from the state, allowing towns to send out 2014-2015 tax bills. Each of the five towns are served by the Addison Northeast Supervisory Union.

Mike Crowell's death on Sunday has hit everyone hard and the worst thing is not being able to pick up the phone, hit his number on the speed dial and enjoy talking about all things South Davidson — or any other topic.
Mike Crowell's death on Sunday has hit everyone hard and the worst thing is not being able to pick up the phone, hit his number on the speed dial and enjoy talking about all things South Davidson — or any other topic.
Crowell was a highly successful wrestling coach, football coach, athletic director and friend to all. But Crowell's best attribute was that he was a great person. He will be missed. He died way too young. Life is often not fair and it couldn't be more unfair to lose someone like Mike Crowell.
In many ways, Crowell was/is South Davidson.
While he was born in Alabama, Crowell graduated from Denton High School, the predecessor school to South Davidson. Crowell went not too far away to Pfeiffer where he played college baseball. And while he spent some time coaching at Salisbury and a couple of other Rowan County schools, Crowell found his way back to Denton. And stayed.
Crowell made a name for himself statewide in wrestling, building a terrific program that reached its greatest heights when the Wildcats won the 2003 1-A dual team state championship. Year in and year out, South has been a contender in wrestling. That would not have been possible without Crowell.
The outpouring of affection toward Crowell's legacy is ongoing. It is such that one of Crowell's former athletes, Phillip Tysinger, is trying to get Alabama coach Nick Saban to attend the Wildcats' homecoming on Friday. It's logistically feasible. Alabama is in a bye week.
As a football coach, Crowell knew what he was doing. The numbers have always been against South in football when it comes to competing in the Yadkin Valley Conference and the 1-A classification in general. But Crowell knew how to get as much as he could out of each player — as an assistant coach while also being athletic director and later as the head coach.
"Mike was really good at being a devil's advocate when we met as a staff," said former South football coach John Shelton, who had Crowell on his staff as a position coach. "He could point out things that nobody else could see."
Crowell was a gentleman through and through. At the same time, he was no pushover when it came to being an advocate for his athletes. During a dual team wrestling playoff match in 2007, one of the Wildcats got dropped on his head an could have been seriously injured. Crowell was breathing fire at the official for not taking action.
But Crowell's impact was probably best felt outside the realm of athletic endeavors.
"He was a father figure to everyone," Tysinger said. "He was a great guy in general. There were several of us players who weren't exactly on the up-and-up with everything. There were several of us who didn't want to go to school and he would call them up and drag them to school. Called us up, made sure we got up and made sure we got to school."
Shelton echoed that sentiment.
"He would call kids, wake them up and make sure they got to school, especially when he had a wrestling match that day," Shelton said. "He had a couple that were a bit lazy and he had to call and get them up."
Crowell was always willing to dispense advice and looked after the welfare of the South Davidson community with great zeal. He had the ability to analyze a situation and express his feelings about what he felt was the proper solution in simple but eloquent terms.
"He was great with the little things," Tysinger said. "Any time you wanted to talk, he was there. He was a straight shooter. He didn't pull any punches. He wasn't the normal teacher and coach. With him, it wasn't about wins and losses. He made sure you gave 100 percent effort and he wanted you to stay on a straight path. Winning was a bonus to him."
Mike Crowell was a lifelong bonus to South Davidson. At some point in the future, a new coach or coaches will be named for football and wrestling, but Mike Crowell will never be replaced.

I once gave one of nieces money for her birthday as I knew there was something very specific she wanted to save up for. A few months later she tells me that she gave all her savings to her grandmother because her grandmother had made her feel guilty about the fact that my niece had complained to her mother that she didn't like going to grandmother's house because when there, grandmother has her and her siblings do all of her housework for them. Niece gave her all her money to try to make amends. What's even worse, is that grandmother accepted it! And didn't give it back!!

It took an age to drop. But you always knew it would. They had dominated from the outset, but this just wasn't going to be Benfica's night. And so when, at the very end of stoppage time, Branislav Ivanovic leaped highest and sent a looping header towards a stranded Artur's back post, it was only ever destined for one place. It's been an awful week for the Aguias.
Prior to what was effectively a league title decider at Porto this past weekend, Benfica coach Jorge Jesus spoke of the dark cloud that hovered above. The potential disaster that could derail their charge towards what was set to be an historic treble. And when Kelvin hopped off the bench to fire a late winner, Jesus sank to his knees on the touchline in the Dragao, looking up at the encroaching gloom from above. The league title looked to have slipped from his grasp right at the last.
|GOAL! Benfica are level! Cardozo thumps his penalty past Cech after the Portuguese side were awarded a spot-kick for Azpilicueta's handball. Game on!
|SAVE! Oscar Cardozo picks up the ball at the edge of the area and guides a super volley at goal which Cech does well to tip over the bar. The striker then inadvertently clears the resulting corner for the Blues!
"Again, for the second time in five days we conceded the decisive goal in injury time. Once again the players felt they didn't deserve to lose. At the end they felt they'd been gunned down," said Jesus.
And yet the evening had begun so well. The Portuguese were much the better side for the entire first 45 minutes. Lima was left out for Rodrigo and the Spaniard had a golden opportunity to give his side an early lead but slipped twice in a matter of seconds with Cech on the floor and the goal gaping.
Nico Gaitan squandered three more good chances before the break, first leaning back and sending his shot high over the bar after he and Salvio had worked some space inside the Chelsea box, then opting to square for Cardozo when he had the opportunity to volley straight at goal from 12 yards before later going with the wrong foot when the ball broke to him in space on the edge of the box. With every chance that went begging, the sense of dread grew larger.
When Torres ran away to round Artur minutes after Oscar Cardozo saw his goal disallowed, it looked as though it was happening all over again. For all their dominance, Benfica were behind. Their heads dropped, their confidence diminishing by the minute. Jesus, much to his credit, realised and quickly made a double substitution, hoping to inject some enthusiasm through Ola John and Lima - a decision that had an immediate impact as the latter darted into the box to win a penalty after linking well with Cardozo.
The big Paraguayan dispatched from the spot with ease, but Benfica simply never found a second wind. They looked drained. And as thousands of Benfica fans applauded a fine late tackle from Luisao to concede a corner right at the end, Jesus must have worried. Not again. Surely not twice in five days. But it did happen again - and just like that it was gone. So close. But not close enough. "Maybe it is more about luck, more bad luck for us," lamented Ola John. "We did everything we could to win," said Artur. "I cannot explain how we lost."
But lose they did. And Now all that remains is that dark cloud floating above. Should Porto, as expected, dispatch Pacos de Ferreira and clinch the league title, Benfica's upcoming Taca de Portugal final with Vitoria Guimaraes will be the most anti of anti-climaxes and perhaps even the end of the road for Jesus.
While one league title and three league cups in four years alongside a string of impressive displays in the Champions League is a respectable return, it may not be enough. Not for Benfica. Not for the thousands left in floods of tears on Wednesday night.
They gave it everything, but it just wasn't to be. The curse continues.
