Big West Conference Season-Opener
Saturday, October 12th
#24 UC Santa Barbara Gauchos
Cal State Fullerton Titans
7:00 p.m. at UCSB's Harder Stadium
Defending The Crown
With the end of one streak comes the opportunity to start another. With its eight-game season-opening winning streak over, the 24th-ranked UC Santa Barbara soccer team will embark on a quest to extend another streak, consecutive Big West Conference crowns. The Gauchos, picked to win their second straight Big West championship in the preseason coaches' poll, open league play on Saturday against Cal State Fullerton. UCSB went 7-2-1 en route to the Big West Championship in 2001 and the Titans handed them one of the two losses. Entering the first weekend of conference play, UCSB sits atop the standings with the best overall record in the Big West, Cal State Northridge is second with a 7-1-1 overall record, the Titans are fourth.
Getting Use To It
Although they were shutout by seventh-ranked Loyola Marymount, which has the nation's fifth-ranked defense at 0.48 goals per game, UCSB continues to lead the nation in scoring at 3.56 goals per game. The Gauchos, who have been atop the goal-scoring list for three weeks, are averaging 0.25 goals per game more than Coastal Carolina, the nation's second-highest scoring team. Remarkably, the shutout at the hands of the Lions, who are only allowing an average of 0.48 goals per match, was the the first time the Gauchos have been held scoreless in exactly one year (minus one day). Denver accomplished the feat October 7, 2001. UCSB's 32 goals this season ties as the fifth most scored by any team in Division I to date, and of the teams that have played the same number of matches as Santa Barbara, nine, the next cloest competitor has just 28 goals.
Settling In
Gaucho goalkeeper Danny Kennedy has been unbeatable of late. After giving up five goals in the first two matches of the season against Michigan State and offensive power Michigan, the sophomore from Yorba Linda has let just five shots find the back of the net in the last six games. In fact, before LMU's overtime goal this past Sunday, Kennedy had not allowed a goal in over 291 minutes, more than three regulation games. In UCSB's last three games, Kennedy has posted a goals against average of 0.33. Including last season, his current career goals against average of 1.05, 28 goals in 2,401 minutes, is the best ever by a UCSB netminder. And it was Kennedy's play on Sunday that kept the Gauchos in the match against the Lions, as he made four saves in the second half with UCSB playing a man down for most of the period, pushing the match into overtime.
Missing Man
Unfortunatly for the Gauchos this weekend, they will be without the nation's best assist man in the line-up due to midfielder Memo Arzate's controversial red card suspension. With one assist in the San Diego State match, the junior playmaker continues to have the highest assist average in nation at 1.22 per game. Arzate is also the only player in the NCAA to have tallied three assists in a single game twice this year. Just one game short of the halfway mark of the regular season, Arzate's 11 assists are the fourth most by a Gaucho in a single season. The current record of 17, was set by Eric Price in 1982. Arzate is also three assists short of breaking into UCSB's career top-10.
Bring On The Big West
UCSB has been the dominant team in the modern era of Big West Men's Soccer. So what if that era is only in its second season. En route to winning the conference title last year, the Gauchos outscored their opponents 25-11 in Big West play, losing just twice, each time by only one goal. Thanks in large part to Santa Barbara's unbeaten record in home conference matches last season, UCSB has not lost at home in over a year. This season looks to be no different as the Gauchos are already 4-0 at Harder Stadium, running its home unbeaten streak to nine games.
His Place In History
Well its not where he wanted to end up, but being the fourth best in NCAA history isn't so bad. Held scoreless by the fifth-ranked defense in the nation, Rob Friend's streak of consecutive games with a goal came to an end at 12, making it the fourth longest such streak in the history of the NCAA. Over the streak, the Kelwona, British Columbia native scored 15 goals and assisted on three others for 33 points, for a 2.75 points per game average. Friend's current 2.56 points per game average this season is the ninth best in the nation, his 1.11 goals per game average ties him for tenth best.
Titan Talk
Cal State Fullerton enters Saturday's match with a deceiving 3-5-1 overall record having lost four games to perenial top-25 teams. Two weeks ago the Titans handed New Mexico, which at the time was 8-0-0, its first loss of the season. In recent years the showdown between Fullerton and the Gauchos has been a good one, and this meeting shouldn't be any different. Led by midfielder David Dischner (2 goals, 1 assist) and forward Hector Orellana (5 goals, 2 assists), both All-Big West selections in 2001, the Titans are looking to renew their hopes of post-season play. While the Gauchos will be trying to exact revenge, because it was Santa Barbara's 3-2 loss to Fullerton in the final game of the season last year that may have kept the Gauchos out of the post-season.

By Michael Aneiro
Morgan Stanley Wealth Management says in a new outlook report that the worst is over for corporate bond investors, and that they year ahead will offer some modest gains.
MS expects improving economic data to produce a "sawtooth climb" to 3.25% this year for the 10-year Treasury yield, and looks back to recent periods of rising rates – in 1993-94 and 2004-2006 — to gauge how corporate bonds will fare. From MS fixed-income strategists Kevin Flanagan, John Dillon and Jonathan MacKay:
The rate rise in the '90s bear market was sudden, with the fed funds rate rising 300 basis points and the yield on the 10-year Treasury rising almost as much in just one year. With little time for investors to adjust, both investment grade and high yield bonds struggled and generated most of their negative returns at the beginning of 1994. In that market, the total return for investment grade bonds was -0.81% and 3.48% for high yield bonds.
In contrast, the 2004-to-2006 cycle was more gradual, as the Fed telegraphed the rate hikes and raised rates in 25-basis-point increments at every meeting, allowing for a longer period of adjustment for credit investors. As the market grew accustomed to improving economic data and tighter Fed policy, rates moved higher in a more measured fashion and credit spreads gradually tightened. The total return for the two-year bear market: 7.99% for investment grade and 14.60% for high yield. In our view, the current bond selloff appears to be following a script closer to the 2004-to-2006 period.
We believe last year is likely to be the worst year for credit investors of the current interest rate cycle. The path forward should improve somewhat as rates normalize, although the difference in performance between Treasuries, investment grade credit and high yield credit will likely narrow and returns are likely to be lower than previous cycles. In our base case, which calls for a 3.25% yield on the benchmark10-year Treasury, we estimate investment grade will have a modest return of a little above 1% and high yield will come in the 4%-to5% range

MILWAUKEE (AP) - Joe Johnson helped the Atlanta Hawks start their five-game road trip with a big victory.
Johnson scored 14 of his season-high 28 points in the fourth quarter to lead the Hawks over the Milwaukee Bucks 97-92 on Monday night.
Trailing by four to start the fourth, the Bucks chipped away and caught the Hawks on a 3-pointer by Brandon Jennings, a free throw by Ersan Ilyasova and two from Mike Dunleavy that gave Milwaukee a 74-73 lead with 8:21 left.
``When they took the lead in the fourth quarter, it was a chance for us to see what we were made of,' Hawks coach Larry Drew said of the Bucks' last gasp. ``Our guys preserved.'
The Hawks never let the lead get past four before Johnson led them back.
``I was just trying to pick my spots,' he said. ``It was a tough first three quarters for me. In the fourth, I didn't want to stop being aggressive and I wanted to take what the defense gave me.'
His long jumper tied it at 84 and then his next two shots from in close pushed the lead to three. Drew Gooden hit a 3-pointer from deep in the corner, but Josh Smith answered a 3 that gave Atlanta the lead for good.
Drew said that he knew he could depend on Johnson to get the job done.
``He has been money,' he said. ``He's a guy we rely on a lot particular in those situations. He was really in a rhythm.'
Johnson scored just four points in the first on 2-of-9 shooting. In the third, he started to find his stride, scoring 10 points.
``One thing I wanted to do in the second half was to get him into a rhythm,' Drew said. ``I had my mind made up I was going to leave him out there until he got into a good rhythm. He did that and he came up with some big shots.'
Smith's 3 with under a minute to go was a pretty big shot, too.
The Hawks whipped the pass around the 3-point arc before it found Smith who calmly hit the shot.
Bucks coach Scott Skiles said that his team didn't cover real well on that play.
``We broke down a little bit, but Joe puts the pressure on you,' he said. ``He collapses the defense and he can see people. He made a nice pass out. (Jeff) Teague made a nice play, and Josh knocked it down.'
Johnson, who came in averaging 18.6 points, was 10 of 22 from the floor and 8 for 8 from the line. He had five rebounds and two steals. Smith had 19 points and 13 rebounds, and Teague added 15 points for Atlanta.
Smith was impressed with Johnson.
``This is the first game where I have seen him in a long time where they were just beating on him all night,' Smith said. ``He just showed so much resilience. He didn't stop playing. I was just glad to see our leader lead like that.'
With the Bucks on the attack for the last time, Marvin Williams deflected a pass from Dunleavy and the Hawks came up with the loose ball. Milwaukee fouled Smith with 9.7 seconds left. He made the two free throws and after Jennings raced in for a driving layup for Milwaukee's final points, Johnson made two free throws for the final margin.
Jennings had 21 points and 11 assists to lead Milwaukee, and Dunleavy added a season-high 17 points.
Zaza Pachulia grabbed a season-high 14 rebounds for Atlanta.
Andrew Bogut had six points and 12 rebounds and Gooden added 13 points for Milwaukee, which hoped to build on the momentum of big victories on the road.
The Bucks, who started 0-8 away from home, won 100-86 at New York on Friday and then 91-82 at Miami on Sunday despite shooting 35.0 percent.
Trailing 70-64 after three quarters, the Bucks opened the fourth with a 10-3 surge.
Dunleavy started it with an eight-foot jumper and then capped it with two free throws that gave Milwaukee the lead at 74-73 with 8:21 left. It was the 18th lead change in the game.
The Bucks recovered from shooting 9 of 23 (39 percent) in the first quarter with an 11-of-22 effort (55 percent) in the second to tie the score at 48 as the half ended.
Teague scored 11 points on 5-of-7 shooting for Atlanta, which shot 54.5 percent in the first quarter.
NOTES: Hawks G Kirk Hinrich has missed 17 games (left shoulder surgery), but made the trip. He has been practicing hard, according to coach Larry Drew, and may return to action during the road trip. ... Oak Hill Academy (VA) was well represented at the game. Atlanta's Josh Smith and Jerry Stackhouse and Milwaukee's Brandon Jennings and Stephen Jackson all graduated from there. ... Milwaukee Brewers general manager Doug Melvin and his wife, Ellen, were in attendance.

How To Ruin Your Church
Pastor Steve Ellison
Murmuring. Do you do it? Do you hold others accountable who do it? What is so bad about murmuring? All murmuring is against God. You may think that you and your murmuring friends are murmuring against something or someone else, but you are not. You are murmuring against God and He hears. Exodus 16:7-8 ….in the morning you will see the glory of the Lord, for He hears your grumblings against the Lord; and what are we, that you grumble against us?" Moses said, "This will happen when the Lord gives you meat to eat in the evening, and bread to the full in the morning; for the Lord hears your grumblings which you grumble against Him. And what are we? Your grumblings are not against us but against the Lord."
Numbers 11:1 sets the stage for a long lesson on one of the most pervasive and evil sins known to man, "Now the people became like those who complain of adversity in the hearing of the Lord; and when the Lord heard it, His anger was kindled, and the fire of the Lord burned among them and consumed some of the outskirts of the camp." NASU This lesson in Numbers 11:1-21:9 contains nine specific examples. The people murmured eight times. Their leader, Moses, got fed up and murmured about the people. They murmured about everything imaginable. This first one in Numbers 11:1 has no object of the murmuring, but the other eight do. Thus, we know that the lesson is about murmuring in general, all murmuring. God's people murmured about God's wonderful provision, God's wonderful leader, and God's wonderful land. God's leader murmured about God's people and was refused entry into the Promised Land. God is sovereign over all things. When we complain about our circumstances, we are complaining that God is not able or that He is not willing to do what is best. That is unacceptable, but it happens in your church and in mine.
Murmuring is usually not a onetime occurrence. Usually it is a lifestyle. We often rightly speak about the sinfulness of "alternative lifestyles" but somehow we miss this most destructive of alternative lifestyles. What is the cure for the life of murmuring? Man thinks that it is to get rid of the occasion but the occasion has nothing to do with it. Nothing whatsoever. We think if something, anything, does not suit us we just murmur what suits us. There is a legitimate way to work through ordained authority and effect a needed change, but make no mistake, murmuring is not it. If you want to destroy your church, just keep on murmuring and listening to your murmuring friends. The cure for this lifestyle of murmuring is to turn your eyes upon Jesus. That is likely the cause for your circumstances anyway. If any person ever lived through circumstances he abhorred, it was Jesus the Christ. If any person ever had reason to be thoroughly disgusted with the people around him, it was Jesus the Christ. If any person ever had reason to complain about how he was misunderstood and mistreated, it was Jesus the Christ. One real clear look at Jesus accompanied by a corresponding look at the blackness of your own soul will cure you of your murmuring. This in no way means that God will remove your cause for murmuring. He will likely leave that in place because it helps you to focus on Christ. If you choose to, you can keep on murmuring and destroy the church that Christ bought with His own blood. God will one day give you a face-to-face opportunity to explain that to Him. .…….…..email@example.com

The Reds' season has started a lot like last season ended, with a lot of losses set up by a lot of runners stranded on base.
The Reds� season has started a lot like last season ended, with a lot of losses set up by a lot of runners stranded on base.
Cincinnati has lost all three series to open the season, with a lack of clutch hitting the main culprit. The Reds (3-6) have stranded 71 runners in nine games and are batting only .214 with runners in scoring position.
And it�s the main reason they�re in last place in the National League Central.
�Who would have said that?� pitcher Homer Bailey said. �I don�t think anybody in here would have expected that or could have even conceived it in their mind. We just need to be better.�
It�s reminiscent of the last week of the 2013 season, when the Reds lost their last six games, including the wild-card playoff in Pittsburgh. They failed to score more than three runs in any of those games.
The Reds have scored 27 runs, the third-fewest in the National League. Their .234 team batting average ranks 11th in the league.
�We�re running our guys out there,� manager Bryan Price said. �The core guys, these are the guys that when the season is over, they�re going to have their numbers.�
Six of the Reds� first nine games have been against the St. Louis Cardinals, the defending NL champions. They lost four of the six.LAST NIGHT�S HIGHLIGHTS
Pirates 5, Cubs 4: Pedro Alvarez hit a three-run homer to cap a five-run seventh inning and Jason Grilli retired Emilio Bonifacio on a bases-loaded grounder to end the game, giving Pittsburgh a victory over host Chicago.
Yankees 4, Red Sox 1: Jacoby Ellsbury hit an RBI single off former roommate Clay Buchholz in his first game against the Red Sox, Michael Pineda won while pitching with a noticeable substance on his hand, and host New York beat Boston. Pineda pitched for the first four innings with a dark substance on the lower palm of his pitching hand, but it was gone by the fifth.
Nationals 7, Marlins 1: Stephen Strasburg struck out 12 in 62/3 innings and Jayson Werth and Ian Desmond homered, leading host Washington to a three-game sweep.
Brewers 6, Phillies 2: Carlos Gomez had three hits with an RBI and visiting Milwaukee extended its winning streak to six games. The Brewers� wins have all come on the road during the streak. They had 25 runs and 38 hits in the three-game sweep of the Phillies.

Firefighters were keeping a close eye Tuesday night on a small brush fire that threatened some homes in West Bay County.
Fire officials said it broke out around 5:00 p.m. Tuesday in the woods off Pine Circle near Highway 79, burning about 4 acres. At one point, flames came dangerously close to a few homes, causing some light damage to one of the buildings. Luckily nobody was reportedly injured.
Firefighters contained the fire quickly, but windy conditions kept them on the scene.
"Really at the drop of a hat, if it's fairly windy it can spread very quickly, and that's why a lot of times we want to try to get on there quickly and contain it as quick as possible," said Bay County Fire/Rescue Lieutenant Isaac Smith.
The Florida Forest Service was investigating the cause of the fire.

Poll confirms Brits believe Jesus Phone salvation too costly
US-centric strategy failing in UK. Shock.
It's official: Brits believe Apple's iPhone is too expensive. Local pollster GfK NOP asked 500 people across the nation and found almost three-quarters of them say the handset's too highly priced to buy.
Some 88 per cent of the sample said they had heard of the Jesus Phone. Alas for Apple, a mere two per cent said they would be asking Santa for one this Chrimbo. A further five per cent of respondents said they like the look of the thing but are quite keen on a number of other phones too.
Only a slightly higher percentage - eight per cent - expressed a dislike for the much-hyped handset.
The fact only 12 per cent of the sample said they had never heard of the iPhone suggests that Apple and O2's marketing is creating awareness of the product. However, as The Register exclusively revealed today, that's not translating into sales and contract activations.
No one should be in the least bit surprised of course. With the iPhone being marketed as a handset, it looks overpriced. UK consumers are completely unused to paying a hundred quid for a phone, let alone the £269 Apple, O2 and Carphone Warehouse want.
Ironically, consumers will pay that amount for a fancy new iPod such as the rather good iPod Touch - reviewed here. Had Apple pitched the iPhone as an iPod that happens to make phone calls rather than the other way round, folk here might be keener to splash out.
"Apple needs more than cutting–edge design to penetrate this market and will have to work much harder in the UK than it did in the US to make iPhone a mass-market proposition," said GfK NOP spokesman Richard Jameson.
We'd suggest Apple adopts a UK-specific approach rather than simply parroting here what's worked in the US. Apple is perhaps one of the most notorious possessors of a 'US and them' worldview, and for once, it's becoming clear, this might just come to bite it.

Storage Bin 2.0: Ringing in a new storage market
This article is part of the Storage magazine issue of Vol. 6 No. 11 January 2008
Don't be alarmed by all the recent industry news; it's a good time for storage consumers. In 2007, the storage system world had its share of relevant happenings. Isilon Systems went public at the end of 2006, heralding a new era in storage system value and setting the competitive stage for 2007. 3PAR, Compellent and Data Domain generated a ton of capital, gaining credibility with investors and removing risk concerns from customers' minds. Yet these four storage system vendors don't compete with each other. This tells you two things: The storage system market is very diverse and each company has a chance to become a category leader. Another storage highlight in 2007 was Dell buying EqualLogic. This was more than just a big player acquiring an emerging storage vendor. Dell threw down a gauntlet when it bought EqualLogic, essentially saying "We'll own IP; we'll change our strategy; we'll be bold." This acquisition eliminates risk for some, but creates it for others. There may be a number of EqualLogic customers that don't want to ...

SAN FRANCISCO - A winter storm in California brought snow to the Sierra, a rare tornado, much-needed rain and left a sprinkling of snow on even relatively low-elevation San Francisco Bay area mountain peaks on Tuesday.
The storm from the Gulf of Alaska brought the first significant rainfall to the region in several weeks, the National Weather Service said.
Periodic showers, including hail, hit the Bay area in time for the morning commute while a batch of new snow fell in the Sierra Nevada, where ski resorts around Lake Tahoe were expecting up to 8 inches of snow.
Dozens of cars were either stuck in the snow or involved in accidents near the rural community of Sonora, the California Highway Patrol said. About 50 to 75 vehicles became stranded or were in collisions on Highway 49 and nearby roadways when it started snowing heavily in the Sierra Nevada foothills, said CHP Lt. Scott Clamp.
"Travelers were just not prepared," Clamp said. There were a handful of minor injuries, but no major injuries, he said.
Snow flurries were spotted high in the hills in Oakland and in neighboring Berkeley, said Rick Canepa, a weather service meteorologist in Monterey. The top of Mt. Hamilton near San Jose and the tips of Mt. Diablo in the East Bay also got a dusting.
In the Sacramento area, a tornado with wind speeds between 40 to 70 mph was spotted north of Red Bluff shortly after 1:30 p.m., according to the weather service. It caused little or no damage.
More rain was forecast for the Bay area and for parts of Southern California. Authorities warned of hazardous conditions for drivers on mountain and interior valley roads into early Wednesday, when the storm was expected to move east.
Even though San Francisco saw highs in the 70s last week, California has had a colder-than-normal winter overall.
"We went from about 10 degrees above normal this past weekend to 10 degrees below today," said Austin Cross, another weather service meteorologist based in Monterey. "We're usually somewhere in the 60s, temperature-wise, at this time of year."
San Francisco has gotten nearly 14 inches of rain since October, or about 85 percent of its normal rainfall during the fall-winter season, Cross said. Oakland received 83 percent and San Jose had about 80 percent, he added.
Associated Press writer Shaya Tayefe Mohajer in Los Angeles and John S. Marshall in San Francisco contributed to this report.

I was in Amsterdam for five days in May and found your people to be really open, charming, and tolerant. I actually really liked the culture; everyone just goes about their lives doing whatever they damn well please and if someone's being an asshole people tell them to knock it off. American culture, on the other hand, can be VERY judgmental and VERY conformist, so I can see how such openness would cause some of us to become very, very paranoid
The Dutch are not tolerant particularly. It however is important to been seen to be tolerant (ie the tolerance is a fairly surface thing). And they are definitely judgmental! Almost all expats who have lived there for more than 5 days agree.
Doesn't that amount to the whole of the country except Amsterdam & Rotterdam?The only places you'll still have the narrowminded attitudes are in the smaller isolated villages.
The only places you'll still have the narrowminded attitudes are in the smaller isolated villages.
Doesn't that amount to the whole of the country except Amsterdam & Rotterdam?
No. These smaller isolated villages are rural and small. Maybe they account for 5% or 10% of the people. It's not that only the big four cities (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht) are tolerant. There are many other cities, and these cities are growing and growing. But it is true that the bigger the city, the more tolerant the people are in general.
Presumably, those going to this research facility to eat know that its a research facility.
Then it's a complete waste of effort. If those participating know that it's being monitored then they'll be playing a role, not acting naturally. The waiter is rude to you, what do you do? Well there's cameras everywhere, are you going to play "nobody messes with me, buster" or are you going to play "calm and unflustered"? The waitress is flirting with you, are you going to show play "real man" or "faithful husband"?
It could be a lot of fun, but it isn't science. Unless they are also monitoring another res
Far more often, these places will tell you about one thing, but actually be monitoring something completely different. eg. They might say they're monitoring whether peaople eat more from square vs round plates when in fact they're monitoring if people eat more (or say the taste is better) when the the menu has fancy French names.
I have attended two different universities, in different states. Both require that students living in on-campus dorms buy a meal plan. If you don't, about a month into the semester they evict you. I lost a roommate that way (and was quite happy about it, she was a b****).

I have attended many concerts but there are still a few bands that are on my "must see before I die" list. When the Canadian power pob collective, The New Pornographers announced they were going to play at Calvin College in Grand Rapids on October 15, I was thrilled. It seems that some indivduals were not as happy as I was because the show was canceled because "to some, (the band's name) is mistakenly associated with pornography. Consequently, Calvin, to some, was mistakenly associated with pornography. Neither the college nor the band endorses pornography."
By rescinding the invitation to the band, Calvin earned a storm of negative media attention (Pitchfork, The Huffington Post, Christianity Today, and Chronicle of Higher Education) with many criticizing the college for not understanding the irony behind the band's name. Luckily, the band was able to find a new location for their show and I will be able to cross them of of my list.
In the meantime join me in "freeing" The New Pornographers from the shackles of shackles of censorship and close-mindedness by checking out one of their most excellent CDs from KPL. Their newest Together is filled with great hooks, melodies, and lyrics that you come to expect from this great band.

I grew up hearing my parents play ALL the King Crimson albums. What am I missing? Thanks for any enlightening suggestions (no sarcasm intended).
May be the problem is your paents played them while you were growing up?In my case it was myself who bought all the LP's up to Discipline and I can assure you're missing something. Even if you find the music of King Crimson to be old and boring you should admit Fripp is a monster playing guitar. I've seen K.C. live and it's impressive to see him playing. Just pick any KC DVD and take a look, considering you're not impressed through your ears.
Your post is very mature, and helps me forget about the kiddie attitudes that tend to proliferate on Metal forums in general. Thank you.Your post alos made me think, and I am really grateful for that. It wasn't my parents (t hey'r the ones that turned me WAY off of Santana...a perspective I later found entirely valid later in life) . The people that used to play KC around me in college were mainly disgusting, hippie-dippie-hug-a-tree-and-suck-off-your-nearest-negro-types. I ended up turned off to the idea of checking Fripp outin any way objectively, I have found the way to open my mind more and give him another try. It's a bit much to ask once again for your opinion, as you have already helped me a great deal, but could youreccomend a sopecific video of Fripp that is your own favorite (i.e., showcases the lead guitar playing in particular?).Again, your patience, help,andmaturity is greatly appreciated. It can be rare to experience such on this type of forum. Or perhaps I am still experiencng Full Moon Productions kiddie fallout.
Anyone hear what this guy did on guitar when he was a teenager? This is intense stuff. It's often very Death-y in regard to the backing tracks. It's too bad this guy ended up with ALS; he would have been top in the guitar world today.I'm still blown away that he did this at age eighteen. Not to mention how he blew Marty Friedman off the cd on the Cacaphony releases.I've heard many call this dud an Yngwie wanna be, but Becker was just Classical in his own, personal way. Just my opinion, but this is a must have cd

Winter isn't giving up in Ohio
- Written by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Winter isn't quite over yet in Ohio.
A winter storm watch has been issued for northern Ohio counties for late Tuesday and Wednesday, with 4 to 6 inches of snow expected in some areas.
A swath of central Ohio could get 1 to 3 inches of show, but it's expected to melt when it hits the ground, creating some slushy conditions and possibly hazardous driving.
After a few days of high temperatures in the 50s and 60s, Ohio is going to get colder again, with highs in the 30s expected on Wednesday.
The winter has been especially long and cold in the Buckeye State, with some cities seeing record snowfall and cold temperatures.

eXpand your USB potential
libusbx is an open source library that allows you to communicate with USB devices from userspace. For more info, see the libusbx homepage.
This documentation is aimed at application developers wishing to communicate with USB peripherals from their own software. After reviewing this documentation, feedback and questions can be sent to the libusbx-devel mailing list.
This documentation assumes knowledge of how to operate USB devices from a software standpoint (descriptors, configurations, interfaces, endpoints, control/bulk/interrupt/isochronous transfers, etc). Full information can be found in the USB 3.0 Specification which is available for free download. You can probably find less verbose introductions by searching the web.
To begin reading the API documentation, start with the Modules page which links to the different categories of libusbx's functionality.
One decision you will have to make is whether to use the synchronous or the asynchronous data transfer interface. The Synchronous and asynchronous device I/O documentation provides some insight into this topic.
Some example programs can be found in the libusbx source distribution under the "examples" subdirectory. The libusbx homepage includes a list of real-life project examples which use libusbx.
libusbx functions typically return 0 on success or a negative error code on failure. These negative error codes relate to LIBUSB_ERROR constants which are listed on the miscellaneous documentation page.
libusbx uses stderr for all logging. By default, logging is set to NONE, which means that no output will be produced. However, unless the library has been compiled with logging disabled, then any application calls to libusb_set_debug(), or the setting of the environmental variable LIBUSB_DEBUG outside of the application, can result in logging being produced. Your application should therefore not close stderr, but instead direct it to the null device if its output is undesireable.
The libusb_set_debug() function can be used to enable logging of certain messages. Under standard configuration, libusbx doesn't really log much so you are advised to use this function to enable all error/warning/ informational messages. It will help debug problems with your software.
The logged messages are unstructured. There is no one-to-one correspondence between messages being logged and success or failure return codes from libusbx functions. There is no format to the messages, so you should not try to capture or parse them. They are not and will not be localized. These messages are not intended to being passed to your application user; instead, you should interpret the error codes returned from libusbx functions and provide appropriate notification to the user. The messages are simply there to aid you as a programmer, and if you're confused because you're getting a strange error code from a libusbx function, enabling message logging may give you a suitable explanation.
The LIBUSB_DEBUG environment variable can be used to enable message logging at run-time. This environment variable should be set to a log level number, which is interpreted the same as the libusb_set_debug() parameter. When this environment variable is set, the message logging verbosity level is fixed and libusb_set_debug() effectively does nothing.
libusbx can be compiled without any logging functions, useful for embedded systems. In this case, libusb_set_debug() and the LIBUSB_DEBUG environment variable have no effects.
libusbx can also be compiled with verbose debugging messages always. When the library is compiled in this way, all messages of all verbosities are always logged. libusb_set_debug() and the LIBUSB_DEBUG environment variable have no effects.
libusbx does have imperfections. The caveats page attempts to document these.

Emerging Author Erin Ann Thomas Receives Handcart Award
Thursday, Oct. 03, 2013
Emerging author Erin Ann Thomas was presented the Evans Handcart Award Sept. 20 at Utah State University for her book Coal in Our Veins: A Personal Journey, a homage to her Welsh ancestors who worked underground in coal mines so that she could earn her living in the light.
"My ancestors worked in the Scofield mine when it blew," Thomas told the audience referring to a dust explosion that killed 200 Utah miners in 1900.
"My great-great grandfather was a Welshman with a famous temper who moved his family to Scofield, he and his four boys started working there. On the day of the explosion, he went to work and got into an argument with the foreman and stormed off back home with his youngest son, my grandfather Zephaniah. The two oldest boys went to work the mine and were killed in the explosion. I went to Scofield many times to retrace their paths."
The Evans Handcart Award is a $2,500 prize for excellence in biographical writing about people who have shaped the character of the Intermountain West or "Mormon Country" as award progenitors David Woolley Evans and Beatrice Cannon Evans called it — a region historically influenced by Mormon institutions and social practices. David Evans, founder of a Salt Lake City advertising and public relations agency, and Beatrice Cannon Evans, a historian and family genealogist, established the award in 1983. A regional jury selects the winner of the Evans Handcart Award out of works published in the prior year.
Thomas' book weaves historical research with her family's personal account of the industry and opens with a description of a vintage, 4-inch-tall cylindrical Justrite carbide lamp that rests on the author's bookshelf. The lamp is one a miner in the 1930s would have used and serves to remind Thomas of the country's longstanding relationship with coal — including her own. She grew up in Orem, Utah, the daughter of Welsh coal miners.
"I was always conscious that my surname had been passed down through generations of strong-backed and rough-handed men," Thomas writes. "I have always been proud of this fact, preferring my ancestry of Welsh coal miners over a lineage of kings."
Thomas describes walking though O'Hare Airport during a layover in 2006 and being confronted by a news story that would alter her path. Television screens showed the families of 13 miners trapped below the surface of the Earth in West Virginia. In Thomas's luggage was a Christmas gift — a binder containing the genealogy of her family. She spent the next four years delving into the history of coal.
"This is a well-written book with a huge scope of research that weaves together and unfolds a family history throughout Wales, the coal region of Utah, and even connects to where the author lives now," the five-member jury wrote. "The various threads are woven together in a way that makes it an enjoyable and an important book for Utah and the Interior West."
Thomas grew up in Orem, Utah, and received a bachelor's of fine arts and a master's certificate in Teaching English Speakers of Other Languages from Brigham Young University. She received her master's of fine arts in creative nonfiction from George Mason University. She taught ESL at Carlos Rosasario Public Charter School in Washington, D.C., and later taught ESL, English and creative writing at Northern Virginia Community College. After eight years she returned to the West, working for IBM as a technical editor.
Coal in Our Veins: A Personal Journey is her first book publication. She has published poetry in Calliope and an essay in Dialogue magazine.
The awards ceremony was held at the David B. Haight Alumni Center of the Utah State University and was presented by the Mountain West Center for Regional Studies, a department of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences.

The goal of this thread is to discuss the pros and cons of generic port placement in a DIY speaker system consisting of two woofers per cabinet (one large box with an internal dividing partition) and its respective port system.
I poked around for an existing thread that covered this topic, but I did not see anything. If I am wrong, please accept my apology.
I just finished internal dimension drawings for a new DIY project that will have (per cabinet) a 2370A horn at the top with a 2425H horn driver, 2 each 2235H 15" woofers, and a 2245H in a "quasi-5th order" alignment cabinet tuned to 20 Hz.
I have not cut any wood, so I am flexible to any design input!
The entire unit is vertical to accomodate the room it will be used in (~3,000 square foot youth room with 5/8" drywall, drop acoustic tile ceiling at 12', and office carpet over concrete).
Given: Each 15" woofer cabinet uses 2 each ports (4" ID x 11" long)
Here is my question:
If I have two 2235H 15" woofers in one cabinet, using a dividing partition, and mounted vertically, where should I place the 2 ports in each of the 15" woofer cabinets?
Believe I have 3 options:
1) Make both cabinets like the 4430's with 2 ports in each cabinet at 11 and 1 o'clock above the woofer.
2) Make the upper cabinet like the 4430's and the lower cabinet with the ports at 7 and 5 o'clock. This would have the woofers close to each other with the ports above and below its woofer respectively.
3) Make the ports close to each other (ports at the bottom of the upper cabinet and the top of the lower cabinet) making the woofers farther from each other.
-Another variable are the 2235H cabinets will be sitting on a 12 cubic foot 2245H sub-woofer cabinet with one large port (9" diameter x 30" long - 2245H in a "quasi-5th order" alignment cabinet tuned to 20 Hz). Where should I put this port in respect to the two 15" woofer cabinets sitting on top of this?
-Another side question:
1) Is it better to build one huge cabinet vertically or 3 medium/large cabinets stacked and mechanically attached to each other? This will be used in a busy room and I like the idea on one huge beefy cabinet that will not be tipped over easily (or moved). I am currently planning to build "separate" boxes inside the one huge box. Any thoughts?
I honestly do not know what to do in this situation as I have never built a multi-woofer system.
Your help is always greatly appreciated!
-Scott, N9ONK

NATO's failure in efforts to promote "regime change" in Libya, after two and a half months of bombing and arms supply to various rebel factions, is now glaring.
Obviously NATO's commanders are still hoping that a lucky bomb may kill Moammar Gadhafi, but to date the staying power has been with the Libyan leader, whereas it is the relevant NATO powers who are fighting among themselves.
When British Prime Minister Cameron vied with French President Sarkozy in early March in heading the charge against Gadhafi, no weighty hand of caution seems to have disturbed the blithe mood of confidence in London or Paris or Washington, D.C.
The Western press, along with al-Jazeera, was no help. The early charges of Gadhafi committing "genocide" against his own people or ordering mass rapes were based on unverified rumor or propaganda bulletins from Benghazi and have now been decisively discredited by reputable organizations such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.
The journalists in Benghazi became cheerleaders for what was evidently from the start a disorganized rabble. The journalists in Tripoli were reluctant to file copy that might be deemed by their editors as "soft" on Gadhafi, a devil figure in the West for most of his four decades in power.
On the other hand, history shows that to drop thousands of bombs and missiles, with whatever supposed standards of 'pinpoint accuracy,' is not going to win you the enthusiastic friendship of the civilians you are bombing, albeit in the guise of protecting their lives.
Recent pro-government rallies in Tripoli have been vast. Libya has a population of about 6 million, with 4 million in Tripoli. Gadhafi barrels around the city in an open jeep. Large amounts of AK-47s have been distributed to civilian defense committees. Were they all compelled to demonstrate by Gadhafi's enforcers? It seems unlikely.
Another pointer to NATO's misjudgments was heavy-handed dismissal of charges from African, Russian and even leaders of NATO countries such as Germany that the mandates of two U.N. Security Council resolutions passed in February and then March -- the protection of civilian populations -- were being brazenly distorted in favor of efforts to kill Gadhafi and install the ramshackle "provisional government" in Benghazi -- a shady bunch from the get-go.
The coalition is now falling apart. French Defense Minister Gerard Longuet gave an interview at the end of last week to a French TV station saying that military action against Libya has failed, and it is time for diplomacy: "We must now sit around a table. We will stop bombing as soon as the Libyans start talking to one another and the military on both sides go back to their bases."
Longuet suggested that Gadhafi might be able to remain in Libya, "in another room of the palace, with another title."

If Longuet's startling remarks were for local consumption on the eve of an Assembly vote, it clearly came as a shock to Prime Minister Cameron and U.S. Secretary of State Clinton. To heighten the impression of a civil war within NATO, Cameron and Clinton rushed out statements asserting the ongoing goal of regime change, and that Gadhafi's departure was a sine qua non, as demanded by the Benghazi gang.
But Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi, his country the objective of tens of thousands of refugees from the fighting and from economic dislocation in Libya, is now saying he was against the whole NATO adventure from the start. He may decline to renew in the autumn current basing agreements in Italy for NATO planes. Germany has always been unenthusiastic.
America is playing a double game, reflective of domestic pressures. At the start, the rush to the U.N. Security Council was very much Hillary Clinton's initiative. In political stature, early to mid-February, President Obama was at his nadir. There was growing talk of a one-term presidency. Clinton rushed into what she perceived as a tempting vacuum. Obama, still fighting the "wimp" label, swiftly endorsed the NATO mission.
In terms of equipment, the U.S. has been crucial. According to one French general, 33 of 41 tanker aircraft used in the operation are American, most of the AWACS, as well, all the drones and 100 percent of the laser-guidance kits for bombs. And that's not all.
The main means of command and control of NATO as the huge bandwidth for transmitting all the data is American. The director of military intelligence, Gen Didier Bolelli, revealed that over 80 percent of the targets assigned to the French pilots in Libya was designated by U.S.
Those whose memories stretch back to the Suez debacle of 1956 might recall that Dwight Eisenhower simply ordered the British, French and Israeli forces to abandon the effort to overthrow Egyptian President Nasser. We could well be seeing a less overt rerun of that conclusive demonstration of post-World War II U.S. dominance, with the Obama administration making the point that any effort at asserting European primacy in the Mediterranean region is doomed to failure.
Before his retirement, U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates took the opportunity to twist the knife in a speech in Brussels: "The mightiest military alliance in history is ... into an operation against a poorly armed regime in a sparsely populated country -- yet many allies are beginning to run short of munitions, requiring the U.S., once more, to make up the difference."
He said ominously: "Future U.S. political leaders ... may not consider the return on America's investment in NATO worth the cost."
Even if Obama is in fact wholeheartedly for regime change in Libya, the political temperature here does not favor the sort of escalation -- hugely costly and much against the public mood -- required in the wake of the failure of the bombing campaign.
Right now, the bill of indictment is not hard to draw up. Three major NATO powers committed their countries to a hugely expensive military operation currently in a shambles, with serious long-term consequences for NATO's credibility and pretences to respect for international law -- and to what end?

Last week on Survivor: Plow, Ashlee was voted out, and no one cared.
This week, were two shows in and there are STILL 16 of these people left. Shouldnt we have had a swap or a merge or a jury or something by now?
We fade in. There is a crab walking on the beach. This being a Burnett show, however, we know that this is not an actual crab, but rather a Killer Robot Plot Twist Crab. Wait for it.
We are on Ulongdongs beach. Jeff and StaphEnie are talking about how much going to Tribal Council sucks, and how vital it is that they not lose any more Immunity Challenges. Now, I havent been over to the Spoilers Board in about three seasons, but even Im not stupid enough to ignore that this means they will, in fact, be going back. Not to ruin the show for YOU or anything. Not me. Im all about The Nice.
Staph laments in a confessional that it wasnt Kims useless whiny ass voted out instead of Ashlee. I lament that I cant jump through the television screen and throttle Kims scrawny little neck. She is not representative of Kims as a whole, as we all know, and Im offended by her attempts to approach the greatness that is inherent in Kims. Since she spends all of her time mewling, acting helpless, and wanting to curl up in Jeffs lap, well just call her Kitten. In her defense, she IS a graduate student, so she probably doesnt know any better.
James: They say they aint doin nothin, but we aint deaf, dumb, and blind like that pinball kid. I kin hear the slurpin sounds of young love breedin. Not that Im spendin all night sittin up, listenin, an watchin and usin a lil coconut milk to grease the wheels, so ter speak, dontcha know. I don know what Jeffs thinkin, nohow. Aint no way Im trustin somethin that bleeds fer five days and dont dah.
Meanwhile, at Kororororor (the Korror! The Korror!), its daytime and raining. Their shelter leaks and doesnt have a floor or a real roof and does not, in any way, shape, or form, resemble the definition of a shelter.
Tom: Were getting wet at night, and we need a better shelter, or at least, we need to put a rubber sheet under Coby until hes potty trained.
Coby: Its so hard to win all the time. It means I cant really start being as catty as I wanna be, and at this rate, Ill NEVER be this seasons Jeff Varner.
Katie and I had to look that name up, because for a minute I thought it was Ashlee returned from the dead is very busy telling everyone what needs to be done, while insisting that she should definitely not be the person do actually do it. Evidently, Katie thought she was applying for The Apprentice.
Cyryn tells us that she thinks Katie tastes tart, which I think means Katie could have a yeast infection.
Cyryn decides to confront Katie about Katies choice of pastry, because, as we all know, its always a good idea on Survivor to air your frustration with another person by confronting them directly, and it never, ever makes the confronter look like a humorless, raving lunatic with a bad haircut. She also simply comes over to Katie, yells at her, and leaves, without giving Katie a chance to respond, or to discuss any problems between them in a civil way. Yes, I want Cyryn to be MY civil rights lawyer.
We fade out, and fade in to the reward challenge. WTF? No tree mail? This is completely unacceptable, so I have commissioned the following replacement treemail (and brief, but erudite, overview of the challenge itself):
That bitter twisted wreck of man doth wash Upon Palau's green island beauty fair Breadfruit and coconuts for him to nosh And vipers for him to have protein there But conflict a good story needs to make For we, the home viewer's, thirst, need be slaked
And so upon the day appoint'd we rise Down to the shore we go to find The Jeff Our gaze can but hold to his dreamy eyes Our lizard brains are moved to thoughts of Hef He fires his brute machine, the life rings fly Arc up and down across fair Palau's sky
Our heroes' very lives depend this day Upon their will to swim and fight for all The life rings seiz'd, they make their bloody way Back through the fierce foe's flailing human wall And score points though they could well end up drown'd Duke sucks.
A prize will go to the first person to correctly identify the writer of those couplets as Landru.

[ Heroes are Zero (Waste) ]
Heroes are Zero (Waste)
One of the most recognizable environmental symbols is a
green triangle made of arrows representing recycling. You know the one:
The symbol is so familiar that it's often used as a stand-in
for green behavior. But recycling is not the best we can do. Consider companies
that send old computers and phones for recycling to countries with lax
enforcement of environmental laws, where children
pick through toxic metals. Or the fact that even some recycled plastics can
ultimately end up in a landfill or incinerator, since they become degraded or
unusable after just one recycling.
What if we changed our mindset from recycling single-use products to replacing these products with
those that can be reused or upcycled over and over again, before
biodegrading harmlessly in the environment? In other words, what if we moved to
a zero waste economy?
Companies are already catching on. Some of the most
recognizable brands have embraced the notion of zero waste. In Atlanta, the Hyatt
Regency upcycles its food scraps, helping to cut its garbage bill by
$169,000 one year and creating useful compost as a result. An Epson factory in
the UK ensures that 95% of its products
don't reach the landfill through an aggressive take-back program.
At Burt's Bees, employees empty out their trash cans on
"Dumpster Dive Day" to examine their waste stream and explore ways to reduce
And communities are going zero waste too. New Paltz, NY is
one of 13 towns in the US with a zero waste action plan. Their unique "ReUse Center" takes
donations of all kinds of materials from lumber to electronics and hosts regular
educational programs on ways to reduce waste.
A zero waste mindset has to happen at the design end of the
production cycle too. It starts by asking questions like: "What is this
packaging made of?", "Why do I need to replace my entire computer when it
Remember the milk man from days
of yore, who would hand deliver fresh dairy products directly to people's
doorsteps? Manhattan Milk certainly
does. The New York-based company decided
to provide milk to their customers the old fashioned way: in reusable glass
bottles that they pick up afterward. Many Canadians and Germans still get beer
in reusable containers too.
Do you want to help your community or company go zero waste?

The Dolphins have overcome a 9-7 halftime deficit to lead the Bills 17-16 at the start of the fourth quarter.
The Bills took a 16-9 lead in the third but Ricky Williams scored from 3 yards out to give the Dolphins back their lead.
One thing you should remember: Trent Edwards has the highest fourth-quarter rating of any QB in the AFC East. Chad Pennington has the lowest. We'll see what happens.

Records Set in Steeplechase, 1500-Meter Run
PRINCETON, N.J. – The distance runners stole the show on Friday night with a streak of school records and personal bests at the Larry Ellis Invitational, hosted by Princeton. With more than 35 teams competing, the meet's Friday Night Races gave the Bulldogs a chance to compete in a selective field of distance runners who had met the meet standards. The team landed a sweep of personal and season bests in every race they entered in.
The duo of junior Nathan Richards and senior Matt Bogdan got the Bulldogs off to a strong pace in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, Richards placing fourth (8:54.15) to set No. 4 all-time Yale indoor and Bogdan placing sixth (8:58.09) to set No. 8 all-time Yale outdoor. The two both broke nine minutes in the steeplechase for their first time in their careers and were the top finishers from the Ivy League in the race after Cornell's Adrien Dannemiller.
Senior John Van Deventer pulled off another amazing performance in the 1,500-meter run, shaving six seconds off his time from last week in only his second outdoor race of the season, to place 15th out of nearly 100 runners as the second Ivy League runner to cross the line. Deventer's time of 3:49.05 also set No. 13 all-time Yale outdoor in addition to qualifying him for IC4As. Junior Julian Sheinbaum followed up with another impressive performance with a PR of 3:51.75 in 31st place, only three-fourths of a second off the IC4A-qualifying standard. Both junior Conor Dooney and senior Itse Begho also made season bests under the four-minute mark, finishing in 3:55.23 and 3:57.16, respectively.
In an equally packed field in the 800-meter run, freshman James Shirvell matched his PR from last weekend (1:54.11), placing fourth in his heat, while sophomore Christopher Ramsey clocked in a season best (1:56.50).
In the 5,000-meter run, freshman Ryan Laemel ran a PR of 14:45.85, cutting 20 seconds from his time on the same track three weeks ago at the Sam Howell Invitational, posting the fastest time for the Bulldogs so far in outdoor season. Sophomore Matthew Thwaites also broke the fifteen-minute mark for the first time in 14:59.34.
On Saturday, both field and running events will kick off at 12:00 p.m., ending with the 4x400-meter relay at 6:00 p.m. A complete schedule as well as performance lists can be found here. Results will be available on Yalebulldogs.com and Tumeytiming.com after the meet.

Torrey Smith, WR, Ravens. After a steady but somewhat quiet start to the season, Smith exploded for 166 yards and a touchdown against the Bills' banged-up secondary. It would have been nice to see him catch more than five of his 12 targets, but, then again, it's also great to see Smith getting so many targets. He's averaging better than 10 targets, five catches and 108 yards per game as the Ravens' go-to receiver, and more TDs should be coming.
Tony Gonzalez, TE, Falcons. Gonzalez broke out of an early-season slump in a big way, catching 12 passes (14 targets) for 149 yards and two TDs. There may have been some concerns that the 37-year-old was fading, but he's got plenty left for fantasy owners, especially with Roddy White still slowed by an ankle injury.
Peyton Manning, QB, Broncos. Manning picked apart the Eagles' ragged secondary Sunday, completing 28 of 34 (82 percent) passes for 327 yards, four TDs (two apiece to Demaryius Thomas and Wes Welker) and no turnovers. He's on pace for an absurd 5,880 yards and 64 touchdowns, and doesn't figure to slow down next week against a Dallas secondary that was just torched by Philip Rivers on Sunday for 401 yards and three TDs.
Adrian Peterson, RB, Vikings. After a pair of relatively mundane games by A.D. standards, Peterson smacked the Steelers for 140 yards and two TDs. Peterson was one of three RBs to score twice Sunday, along with Steelers rookie Le'Veon Bell, who was making his NFL debut, and the Chargers' Danny Woodhead, who had two TD catches.
MORE FANTASY: Week 4 injuries | Week 4 analysis (premium) | Join Fantasy Source
Ray Rice/Bernard Pierce, RBs, Ravens. While Smith shined against the Bills, both Rice and Pierce flopped in a great matchup as the Ravens seemed to completely abandon the run by the second half. Rice had just five carries for 17 yards, but it wasn't like he was losing much work to Pierce, who had just four carries for 7 yards. It was a poor game plan by the Ravens and you can bet both backs will be more involved next week at Miami.
Russell Wilson, QB, Seahawks. Wilson struggled behind an O-line missing C Max Unger, RT Breno Giacomini and LT Russell Okung, completing 12 of 23 passes for 123 with no TDs. He also took five sacks, fumbled for the fourth straight game and threw an interception for the third straight contest, though he did run 10 times for 77 yards. Since putting up 320 passing yards on the Panthers in Week 1, Wilson is averaging just 156 yards per game.
Stevie Johnson, WR, Johnson. Not only was Johnson held to just one catch on six targets, it went for minus-1 yard. The poor game was partly because rookie QB EJ Manuel completed just 10 of his 22 passes, but also partly because the Bills ran it 55 times in the victory. Johnson will bounce back, but he'll be up-and-down with Manuel in a run-heavy offense.
Kyle Rudolph, TE, Vikings. Having Matt Cassel under center certainly didn't help Rudolph, who saw just two targets, catching both for 6 yards. He's averaging three catches for about 26 yards and has just one score. At this point, Rudolph is basically a higher-profile version of Bills TE Scott Chandler and no more than a bye-week play for his supposed TD potential.

Siri's artificially intelligent news anchor sister bags $6.2m
Funding found for DARPA-backed web sniffer Trapit
Siri's little sister Trapit, an intelligent discovery engine that pumps individually curated digital content to users, has closed a $6.2m Series A round of venture funding led by Hong Kong's Horizon Ventures.
Trapit is the progeny of CALO (Cognitive Assistant that Learns and Organizes), the DARPA-commissioned artificial-intelligence project that also fathered cloud-based iPhone virtual assistant Siri.
Founded in 2009, and currently in public beta, Trapit is based in Palo Alto, California. The cash will be spent on research and development as well as an expansion to new platforms in early 2012 – including a push to make Trapit available via iOS applications.
"The investment will enable us to continue to grow our development team and expand into new mobile platforms," said Gary Griffiths, chief executive officer and co-founder at Trapit, in a canned statement.
Under the Trapit service, users can choose a pre-curated 'trap' of content or collate their own from news, blogs posts, reviews, videos etc. The trick is that the heuristic technology becomes increasingly accurate in tailoring content to a user over time.
"There is an enormous opportunity in front of us as the continued growth of content on the web outstrips traditional search and demands new technologies that enable discovery and personalization," said Griffiths. ®

Judge Gives Intel More Time To Find Missing E-mail 62
narramissic writes "ITworld is reporting that Intel has until April 17 (7 days more than the original deadline of April 10) to 'explain to a judge why it lost e-mail records that could provide proof that the chip maker used anticompetitive practices as alleged by Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD).' According to an order from Vincent Poppiti, the special master hearing negotiations of the case, the court is looking for an accounting of Intel's document preservation problems and a proposal for a better solution for archiving future records."

I wasn't just wrong, I was being an idiot. "When Google was in the thick of Android's development in 2006 and 2007 - long before the platform ever reached retail - it was a very different product, almost unrecognizable compared to the products we used today. Documents dated May of 2007 and made public during the course of Oracle's lawsuit against Google over its use of Java in Android show off a number of those preliminary user interface elements, prominently marked 'subject to change', and you can see how this used to be a product focused on portrait QWERTY devices." I'm hoping I can dive into this a little deeper tomorrow; since it's the busiest period of the year for my little company right now, I don't have the time to do it today. Just to make sure nobody thinks I'm just going to ignore this, I figured it'd be a good idea to post a quickie today. I'll get back to this tomorrow, or Friday at the latest.

RE[4]: Why Steve hates android
by akrosdbay on Thu 26th Apr 2012 14:37 UTC in reply to "RE[3]: Why Steve hates android"
I'm not saying the first iPhone wasn't a great device and software combination for it's time.
I'm saying, it is obvious that the market would go that direction.
Because the technology existed.
I'm saying, it is obvious that the market would go that direction.
Because the technology existed.
In hindsight may be, but as evidenced by this very article most companies were not going in that direction and hadn't in decades. Given that most of the technology to make an iPhone existed in some form or the other, no one else had done it.
Look at the stalwarts of the industry around 2007, Palm, RIM, Nokia, Windows Phone.. they are all but dead now. Primarily because none of them saw it coming. They all reacted and a little too late. So your contention that someone else would have done it is with out any real historical evidence.
iPhone comes out and then Google reacts about 1.5 years later by redesigning android to be similar. Palm comes out with webOS nearly 2 years after, Microsoft with Windows 7 3 years after and Nokia tries a few things to compete and failed. RIM with the blackberry storm with a horrible touchscreen in 2008.
If these companies would have done it anyway those products would have come out within a month or in far lesser time than after the iPhone was launched. None of them had the same quality of touchscreen that Apple had. Because Apple had designed it in-house and had it manufactured, the rest of the industry caught up after.
Same deal with the iPad retina display. Eventually devices will catch up but the IP to make it happen won't permeate the general market for many months. Tablets with those HiDPI screens will eventually flood the market but not until the end of the year.

The bursting of the housing bubble hit many towns across the United States. But few harder than Dalton, Ga.
Why Dalton? It\'s the \"Carpet Capital of the World,\" according to the Atlanta Fed, in a recent blog post. With new-home sales down some 75% from their peak, it\'s no surprise floor-covering demand also has suffered.
How bad? Employment is down some 21% from its peak. (Chart shows unemployment rates in the area.)
The Atlanta Fed blog post ends on an optimistic note, as the central-bank researcher found the area was far from depressed. \"I found a vibrant spirit of resilience and realism. Businesses were diversifying, community leaders were actively engaged in attracting new business, and Dalton State College was taking critical steps to prepare their students for the future,\" wrote Michael Chriszt, a vice president in the Atlanta Fed\'s research department.

iconv and sed help
I have a file which is a UTF-8 file type which i need to convert into ISO-8859-1 file type.
Now the UTF-8 file type contains characters like å/ä/ö and i dont want these characters.
So, i apply the sed command.
$ sed "s/å/aa/g; s/ä/aaa/g; s/ö/ooo/g" utf8.txt > output.txt
Now when i view this file, there are no such characters like å/ä/ö
i use iconv command to covert that UTF-8 (output.txt) file type into ISO-8859-1 file type
$ iconv -c -f UTF-8 -t ISO-8859-1 < output.txt > newfile
when i view the file type using file command it tells that its an ASCII file type not the ISO-8859-1
$ file newfile
newfile: ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators
newfile: ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators
I don't understand what went wrong. I have also attached that UTF-8 file with this post.
Please help.
