The Lakers will finish the first chapter of their season Sunday, the one in which they played 15 of their first 20 games at home. Lakers coach Phil Jackson pronounced the stretch merely "OK" and said he would like to have back the home losses to Detroit, Milwaukee and New Orleans. The last of those losses he described as "bewildering."
But there's also definite optimism around the team. They're 3-0 without Bryant and 13-6 overall despite having nearly as many injured players as healthy players in training camp. That doesn't include Jackson, who didn't coach in a single preseason game coming back from hip replacement surgery. The Lakers' success falls somewhere between surprising and remarkable.
Jackson credits it to a second year of playing in the triangle offense and playing with one another. The Lakers also haven't needed Kobe Bryant to average anywhere close to 35.4 points per game this season, which Jackson talked about at Saturday's practice.
"I think thats one of the things that we wanted to make sure this year that our players understood," Jackson said, "that even though last year Kobe was a significant factor, a most valuable type of player in this league that he had to expend himself to such a point that we became atrophied as a team.
When we had to step into that level in the playoffs and everybody had to step into their role, we werent able to finish it out. I dont want to take anything the run that we had in the playoffs, but it wasnt a success because we lost.
"Thats where everybody felt like they didnt do their part, they didnt hold up their end. So I think theyve come back this year with that information that we gave them last year to close out our meetings, theyve come back with the determination to do better.
That's your state of the team evaluation for today.

Why's it good to be Kobe Bryant? Because there's a Maybach in the players' parking lot that belongs to you. For those of us who couldn't make the L.A. Auto Show this month, it was nice to have the Auto Show come to us. They don't let the commoners at the Convention Center even get close enough to see the sticker on the Maybachs.

EL SEGUNDO–The Lakers have been building toward this ever since the calendar turned to December, a final exam tonight against San Antonio at Staples Center, before the road games start coming fast and furious.
The Spurs came into Saturday tied with Utah for the NBAs best record at 15-5 and have won four consecutive games. In their victories the past week, they led Golden State by as many as 42 points, Charlotte by 22 and the Clippers by 37.
"Theyre playing as good as anybody can play right now, Lakers coach Phil Jackson said, noting that San Antonio also is 8-2 on the road.
"I think theyre the toughest test for anybody, Kobe Bryant added, "just because they play so well and theyre so organized and so steady.
Whether the Lakers will have Bryant available was in doubt Saturday. Bryant sat out all of practice and did only light walking while trying to keep his sprained right ankle elevated.
Bryant was wearing a blue compression sleeve that stretched from his thigh to his foot, designed to pump the swelling out of the ankle. He didnt play Friday and said he wouldnt play tonight if the ankle felt the same way it did Saturday.
However, Bryant was optimistic that the ankle would improve with another 24 hours rest and continued therapy Saturday night.
"Well get up tomorrow morning, Bryant said, "and it should feel better than it does today.
If Bryant cannot play, Maurice Evans would start again in his place. The Lakers will have to put forth a strong defensive effort against the Spurs, with Smush Parker staying in front of Tony Parker and Kwame Brown using his size against Tim Duncan.
The Lakers also are hoping to finish their front-loaded schedule of home games on a positive note. They played 15 of their first 20 games at home but have eight of their next 10 after Sunday on the road, including a six-game Christmas trip.
Another ankle: Vladimir Radmanovic suffered a sprained ankle going through a dry run at practice. Jackson chuckled when recounting the injury because there was no contact and only light running involved. Radmanovics status had not been determined.
Bryant on Odom: Entering his third season playing with Lamar Odom, Bryant offered his thoughts about the evolution taking place with his teammate. Although Odom has had two lackluster games this week, he still is averaging 18.4 points, 9.0 rebounds and 4.9 assists.
"Last year, what I used to have to remind him every once in awhile was, Do you want to be a great player or do you want to be a (so-so) player, Bryant said. "When you think about it, if he could step outside of himself, he could take it to another level.
"This year, I havent had to do that at all because its just clicked with him. Again, I think it was the playoffs. The series he had against Phoenix, he stepped up (and) had an incredible series. I think that showed him what hes capable of doing.
Bryant also was asked about the locker-room tribute that Odom pays to his infant son Jayden, who suffocated in his crib in June. Odom has hung an oversized T-shirt with a drawing of his sons face.
"The first time I saw it was very difficult, Bryant said. "I think for everybody that saw it, it was tough. But for Lamar, its not a moment of sadness. Its a moment of honor, for the life the child was able to live up to that point. From that point forward, its not a shocking moment. Its happy because it makes him feel good.

New Research Demolishes Evolution
It is clear that scientific evidence refutes the Darwinistic theory and
proves the existence of a superior creation which is manifested in all
aspects of the living world. Although some scientists have been brainwashed
by the materialistic dogma, many others come to this conclusion. Professor
of applied mathematics and astronomy from University College (Cardiff,
Wales), Chandra Wickramasinghe describes this reality he faced as a scientist
who had been told throughout his life that life had emerged as a result
of chance coincidences:
From my earliest training as a scientist, I
was very strongly brainwashed to believe that science cannot be consistent
with any kind of deliberate creation. That notion has had to be painfully
shed. At the moment, I can't find any rational argument to knock down
the view which argues for conversion to God. We used to have an open mind;
now we realize that the only logical answer to life is creation-and not
accidental random shuffling.75
It is also very evident that such a superior creation provides concrete
evidence for the existence of a Creator, the Possessor of infinite power,
knowledge, and intelligence.
That Creator is Allah, the Lord of the heavens and of the earth, and
of all that is between them.
He, in the Qur'an, adresses to all of us:
O man! What has deluded you in respect of your Noble
Lord?He Who created you and formed you and proportioned you
and assembled you in whatever way He willed. (Surat al-Infitar: 6-8)

Moscow, Oct 7 (IANS/RIA Novosti) Second-half goals gave Anzhi Makhachkala a 2-0 away win against Dynamo Moscow Sunday to stretch their lead at the top of the Russian Premier League (RPL) to four points. The match that saw both teams reduced to 10 men.
Yuri Zhirkov opened the scoring in the 76th minute, rounding off a neat attacking move to sweep the ball into the far corner from 15 yards.
Samuel Eto'o scored the second three minutes from time as he poked home after a perfect through pass from Mehdi Carcela-Gonzalez.
It cuts short Dynamo's mini revival; after losing their seven of their first eight games, the club had won their last two.
Anzhi played most of the match with 10 men after defender Joao Carlos was dismissed for a last-man foul on Dynamo striker Alexander Kokorin.
Dynamo defender Gordon Schildenfeld saw red on 52 minutes for handling the ball to prevent Eto'o running clear on goal.
Anzhi go to 26 points from 11 games, four ahead of Terek Grozny and five more than CSKA Moscow, who close the gap to two with a win against Spartak Moscow later Sunday.
Dynamo remain 13th on nine points.

For nearly three decades, Rose's Cafe has been a fixture on the southern end of Lafourche Parish.
Generations of native Cajuns, sports fishermen, offshore workers and everyone in between have found their way into the restaurant.
"We know our customers," said Connie Watson, who has worked at Rose's Cafe for eight years and managed since December. "We know what they like to eat. We've watched their children grow up here."
Another of the restaurant's cooks, Mandy Griffin, agrees.
"A lot of our customers, particularly older couples, eat here three times a day," said Griffin who cooks breakfast and has been the spot's gumbo maker for the past two years. "If they're going to be late, they're going to call to make sure we save them some."
Seafood is always in high demand with such dishes as oyster and shrimp platters, soft shell crabs, shrimp and oyster poboys, okra and shrimp gumbo or seafood gumbo. A tradition Rose's still carries out is if fishermen bring in their catch to be fried, the cooks are willing to do that.
"They're good to us, so we're good to them," said Wendy Ledet, lunch cook at Rose's for two years. "Fridays at lunch we always have seafood, whether it's Lent or not."
Still, according to Watson, the best-selling items during lunch and dinner hours are the fried chicken and the pork chops. She brags that Rose's has the best fried chicken on the bayou.
"Saturday seems to be our big chicken day," she said. "It's when people have time to wait for it. Because it is fresh fried, it takes about 25 minutes, but it's well worth the wait."
For the early risers, popular breakfast items include the Western omelet, grits, bacon and biscuits. Even so, some patrons ask the staff to create unique meals just for them.
"We had one guy who came in and made up his own breakfast poboy," Griffin said. "He wanted a ham and cheese omelet, chicken fried steak and something else."
"The poboy came up to where we charged him $15 for it," Watson added. "And he was here the next day with his buddies so his buddies could have it."
Whether it is everyday comfort food or an experimental dish, the key to satisfying Rose's loyal base is consistency in preparing and cooking each dish. Watson welcomes customer feedback because that is the only way to fix things.
"If it's not good, down here they'll let you know," she said. "They're not afraid to say, 'Hey, this don't taste like it did last week!' They feel like they have the right to complain because they are here two or three times a day."
Watson, Griffin and Ledet, all Galliano natives, each have been in the food-service industry since they were teenagers. Ledet, 39, waited tables at Pizza Palace before getting her first cooking job at Taylor's Restaurant and finding her calling.
"Once I got into the kitchen, I loved it," she said. "I'd rather be in the kitchen than in front taking orders."
Griffin, 48, was also a waitress and worked at a Wal-Mart deli before coming to Rose's Cafe. She spent five years at the restaurant before taking a brief hiatus. She returned two years ago as the breakfast and gumbo cook.
Watson, 48, started out frying French fries at a Burger Chef on La. 1. She lived in Lake Charles for 26 years, eventually owning and managing a restaurant there. After Hurricane Rita struck in 2005, she moved back to Galliano and began working at Rose's, where her sister, Donna, has been an employee for 21 years.
"I like to cook, but my passion is right here, making sure we do things correctly," Watson said. "Living in Lake Charles, I didn't have family there, so every customer who came into the restaurant became my family. I like how you can make people feel good for a little bit of time."
The latest Rose's Cafe is actually the third built by owner and namesake, Rose Duet. The previous two were in Golden Meadow. Five years ago she constructed a new restaurant at its current location in Galliano, 18629 La. 3235.
"She could have retired by then," Watson said. "To take on an endeavor like this is a big feat. Rose is really an icon down here. My thing is to be her in 25 years."
Rose's Cafe feeds the public from 4 a.m. to 10 p.m. with a staff of 17 employees and still maintains a devoted customer base.
"We have four cooks, and we stay open 19 hours, so we have to be a family, or it doesn't work," Watson said. "We have a really good crew, and everyone is willing to pitch in to cover for one another."
Cooking spotlight: They'll create a dish for you

Seems like they have experience.
RapidShare is in Switzerland. Unless their execs travel to New Zealand, they have nothing to fear.
I wonder then if requiring all users to pay a 10c charge would stop piracy completely for site such as this.
where are these mythical $20 DVD's?
most are under $10 and some blu ray's have broken that barrier as well
where are these mythical $20 DVD's?
Here. [amazon.com] Pick one.
...you'll find a whole bunch of stuff well under $20. Two of the most popular releases from 2010 - The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (Two-Disc Special Edition) [amazon.com] is $7.78 for the two-disc set and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1 [amazon.com] is $4.99. (In fact, it was that price even before December - I bought it as a Christmas present.) New releases are going to be more expensive - you can't blame a for-profit industry from trying to make a bit more money from those people who've gotta have stuff now and are willing to pay a premium instead of waiting six months, can you?
I know people love to whine about how over-priced movies are, and how that justifies your piracy, but seriously, these are two block busters from 2010 for the price of a McDonald's meal. What's it going to take to stop you pirating this stuff?
As I commented in a previous story [slashdot.org], people are bringing this on themselves, and also ruining the internet for the innocent bystanders like me.
As I commented in a previous story [slashdot.org], people are bringing this on themselves, and also ruining the internet for the innocent bystanders like me.
I guess it is perspective - I feel like people willing to feed the RIAA/MPAA infinite copyright machine are ruining the internet for innocent bystanders like me.
What's it going to take to stop you pirating this stuff?
A DRM free download at around that price. I don't want any more plastic discs hanging around, and I started buying mp3s when Amazon started selling them DRM free. If I could buy a nice mkv file of Harry Potter for $3-5 I'd do it, and so would a lot of other people. But a DRM locked copy from itunes costs $10-15, at least twice the cost of the DVD!

I don't actually "pirate stuff" hardly at all, but do you want the real answer?
The first thing to understand is that different people turn to piracy for different reasons. The one you're ostensibly arguing against is this one. [theoatmeal.com] And that is the reason why your argument fails: The problem is not "DVDs should be $10." The problem is that a legitimate copy of a sufficiently recent show or movie is not available. Not for $10, not for $20, not for $50. And by the time it is available on DVD, $20 is no longer an at
these are two block busters from 2010 for the price of a McDonald's meal.
The most I ever spend at McDonald's is $2.16. Burrito with biscuits and gravy, McDouble with value fry, or occasionally the Mac Wrap ($1.83).
Beverage? I'm not paying a buck fifty for a paper cup full of carbonated sugar water.
I rarely pay $20 for DVDs, either.
However, I will pay $15 at D'Arcy's for corned beef, cabbage, and potatos with a couple of pints of Giunesses. I think it's hilarious that some people eat that expensively at McDo
Okay, fine. Let's go your way - you can buy both these blockbuster movies and your $2.16 McDonald's burrito/McDouble combinations for the same price as you pay for your meal at D'Arcy's. But you're missing the point (deliberately, I assume).
No, if there were no piracy whatever they'd come up with some other bogus "reason."
Possibly. But we'll never know, will we? The amount of piracy going on gives them all the ammunition they need. The end result is still that my experience on the web is getting rapidly choked because a bunch of geeks decide they're above the law.
Possibly. But we'll never know, will we? The amount of piracy going on gives them all the ammunition they need.
No, but you can be pretty sure of it since the studies all say that the pirates are their best customers, spending more on media than non-pirates. Attacking your best customers is pretty stupid unless you have an ulterior motive.
I think they fear competition from independents and are using piracy as an excuse to quash competition. The RIAA labels are already an anachronism, and when desktop CGI is
I'd still rather pay 10c for a fast and simple criminal service that treats me with respect than pay $10 for a legitimate fiddly DVD that treats me like a criminal.
Those "mythical" $20 DVD's are what nearly any move that isn't at least a couple of years old costs retail. "Most are under $10" only applies to used and bargian-bin sales. But you already knew that.
walmart? most new movies are 20 as well as all disney movies
That comic is stupid. People need to stop making up stupid excuses.
OMG I have to get HBO to watch HBO series from HBO who payed millions to produce said show?!?! SHOCKING!! So hard to add HBO to your cable and watch via HBO GO or on demand. Yeah, pricy too, I mean, I've never heard of getting 3 months FREE of HBO when you sign up. Get hbo, watch show on demand, cancel hbo. How is this hard if you want to go legit? This is not "CHANGING YOUR ENTIRE CABLE PACKAGE!!!!!!!one one!!".
No DVD's to buy? Wait. They
That comic is stupid. People need to stop making up stupid excuses.
No the comic is factually actuate. When people want to buy something, with money in hand. Give them the opportunity to buy it, when they have it with the money in their hand. Otherwise, they'll go anywhere else for it, even if they download it.
People won't wait. Why should they, welcome to the digital age. Does it magically take data longer to show up online when it's being stamped for retail sale too? No, no it doesn't. They'll figure it out eventually, that impulse buying = more money. Until then,
The people that want tv and movies streaming via their computer are still in the minority.
It's getting there... but the user base is not in place yet for a company to fully commit to it.
I'm sorry, but it is complete bull. It's completely about making money. Maybe a decade ago it was hard to get things into an ondemand service, but now with iTunes and Hulu and Netflix all competing to get TV shows and movies up ASAP, the only thing delaying them is not a technical issue, but suppliers unwilling to cut into their current market on TV.
Yup... not to mention the false dichotomy that they must fully commit to one or the other. Did they have to shut down CD sales in order to start selling on iTunes? Hell no. Most everybody I talk to today know how to download, some don't want to or only do it a little but if you offered a legal service you'd have plenty people signing up.
I'd still rather pay 10c for a fast and simple criminal service that treats me with respect
Right. Because stealing stuff shows immense levels of respect to the distributors and artists.
I'm showing my age, I know, but I still believe two wrongs don't make a right.
Because stealing stuff
Yeah, I think stealing stuff is pretty bad because the one that had their property stolen loses it.
Copying, on the other hand...
but I still believe two wrongs don't make a right.
It's quite a different situation if a person doesn't believe that what they're doing is wrong to begin with.

When I see someone reduced to arguing on semantics ("what is stealing?") then I know they have no legitimate justification.
It's quite a different situation if a person doesn't believe that what they're doing is wrong to begin with.
Justification of sociopathy. Good one. That's pretty weak.
When I see someone reduced to arguing on semantics ("what is stealing?") then I know they have no legitimate justification.
Sounds like a non sequitur to me. The fact that I argued "semantics" does not mean that I have no "justification" (I don't believe such a thing is necessary, though). I simply tried to correct you on a point you made that I thought was wrong.
Justification about what? Whether or not a justification is "legitimate" is, I believe, subjective. Can you logically prove that someone arguing "semantics" indicates that they have no "legitimate justification"? What if someone used the same exact logic that you used a
I just don't believe in absolute morals
At all? So someone who decides to murder a complete stranger, someone just riding the bus and reading their book, who is doing nothing other than sitting there, is not violating any morals in your opinion?
So someone who decides to murder a complete stranger, someone just riding the bus and reading their book, who is doing nothing other than sitting there, is not violating any morals in your opinion?
Any morals? Well, they might violate an individual person's morals, but I don't believe they're violating some sort of universal morals (that come from some unknown source and have no effect on anything).
I wonder then if requiring all users to pay a 10c charge would stop piracy completely for site such as this.
actually most pirates that use sites like rapidshare are premium users, why do you think a lot of people cried when megaupload was closed also the free download speed is already below 200k most of the times, there is no point in using them if they are gonna be slower than torrent
.. well, since the number 1 reason for paying usenet news access is downloading warez I highly doubt 10c charge would do anything.
I'm surprised it took this long.
It would be nice if they had a "tiered" throttling system, something like:
The first 1MB to any IP address in a 1-hour period gets throttled to a medium speed, say, 100KB/sec, and the rest gets throttled more. Throttle anything over 10MB per hour to painfully slow speeds.
This way, people just grabbing one small (under 1MB) file in a 1-hour period don't suffer too much.
I do like the plan they have to avoid throttling though.
The first 1MB to any IP address in a 1-hour period gets throttled to a medium speed, say, 100KB/sec, and the rest gets throttled more. Throttle anything over 10MB per hour to painfully slow speeds.
This way, people just grabbing one small (under 1MB) file in a 1-hour period don't suffer too much.
I've had people send me legit RapidShare links to stuff like data files and such. Explaining to my boss that I'd need to pay $1 or whatever the daily fee is to download this file from the customer just because it hap
1MB unthrottled: How fast are the Intertubes today? Probably 3 seconds for most users.
1MB at 100KB/sec = 10 seconds. That 7 seconds is enough to be annoying but not painful.
1MB at 30Kbits/sec (less than 4 KB/sec) as RapidShare is doing now = 4-5 minutes. 4-5 minutes per MB is painful, or perhaps nostalgic.
has died then has it - I thought this was where all the kids get their dodgy stuff from ?
So, they're now doing what most of their competitors have been doing for years. This is certainly newsworthy.
Yes. Rapidshare is only driving away the "impatient" pirates. They are delaying the inevitable because ultimately, the works is still just as pirated regardless of how long it took to obtain.
My guess is that they are either secretly hoping to boost premium sales (they would NOT get away with throttling paying customers) or to do "something" in order to prevent Megaupload's fate from repeating with them.
At a guess, this is just marketing BS being used to disguise an attempt to get more paid users. Rapidshare have form in this area - they rebranded themselves the "Anti-Waiting Company" at the same time as increasing the amount of time free users have to wait for downloads and increasing their premium prices.
They can put whatever positive, law-cooperating spin on it that they want, but the real reason is simply that Rapidshare no longer has any competition to drive up their free download speeds.
Their single largest competitor (Megaupload) just dropped off the map and all their other competitors have either blocked the US or dropped any free support whatsoever.
Wow, this on top of how shitty Rapidshare already was? At this point they could only make it worse by forcing you to enter a CAPTCHA presented in the form of one of those "stare to see the letters" puzzles, shown right in the middle of goatse's anus.
Why people ever used services like Rapidshare and Megaupload, I'll never understand.
Say I'm working on a computer program and I want to send copies to my beta testers. I'd upload a copy to mediafire and give only my beta testers the URL.
Or say I shot a video and I want to share it with family members, but I don't want to post it publicly on YouTube because the video might contain some copyrighted music that happened to be playing where I shot it.
It's not really a problem for incidental music if you're non-monetizing your videos. Youtube will just put links to the music on your video page. Now if you were one of those people basically uploading songs with a static image of the album art, that's another story.
What makes Dropbox any different from RS/MU/MF in this respect?
It's not really a problem for incidental music if you're non-monetizing your videos. Youtube will just put links to the music on your video page.
Except in some countries where viewers will get "This video is not available in your country" (paraphrased) because a particular country's state-sponsored monopoly collecting society wants more money for each view than advertisers are willing to pay. And I thought a user in the YouTube Partner Program had to clear the rights to all the videos on his channel before monetizing even one.
i personally feel sorry for all the spam i've caused firstname.lastname@example.com to receive
"Those who like to pirate prefer not to pay, the company believes, not least because they want to avoid connecting their personal payment details to a copyright-infringing cyberlocker account.

> there is a direct link between free users of file-hosting services and copyright infringement.
There is also a direct link between internet users and copyright infringement. There is also a direct link between prople exchanging information and copyright infringement. And so on.
Copyright is for-profit censorship. As soon as you have two people exchanging information, be it on the net, by pendrives, even exchanging books, as soon as you cut out the middlemen, it will probably be some kind of infringement.
The problem with this, what they call infringement is _normal human behavior_ that shouldnt be infringement in the first place. As soon as people get together, they exchange information. Declaring parts of this information exchange somebody elses "property" and trying to censor it by basically spying on every information exchange between two people, is censorship straight from the darkest surveillance state nightmares. The worst case scanario. It is basically north korea, but not with respect to "political information" but with respect to "proprietary information". Censorship is censorship, whatever paltry excuse you can come up with for it.
There is a direct link between eating High Fructose Corn Syrup and Murder.
Every Murderer in the USA consumed HFCS at one point in his or her life.
You misunderstand the point of copyright.
Before the invention of the printing press, creators had some level of assurance that their works would not be widely copied by unauthorized parties by virtue of the fact that copying was so tedious and error prone, that the sheer difficulties involved in making a copy kept unauthorized copies from being problematic for creators.
After the printing press was developed, things shifted somewhat. Creators still wanted the exclusivity that they formerly had, and wou
Has anyone in the history of the world ever paid for a RapidShare account to use it for downloading non-pirated content?
These guys are no different than the ones who offered newsgroup access for X amount per month (and by the way, here are all these great tools for managing large binary downloads should you happen to need them).
Rapidshare's business model has always been about making the free download option as obnoxious as humanly possible. "Pay us money and you can download this random file which may or may not be copyrighted at full speed instead of playing capcha games and waiting all day for your file to download and then have it stall at 98%" This is nothing new or unexpected.
âoeRapidShare has been faced with a severe increase in free user traffic and unfortunately also in the amount of abuse of our service ever since, suggesting that quite a few copyright infringers have chosen RapidShare as their new hoster of choice for their illegal activities,â the company explained.
IANAL, but that seems like a refreshing admission of legal liability for being willful accessories to copyright infringement.
Has anyone in the history of the world ever paid for a RapidShare account to use it for downloading non-pirated content?
Has anyone in the history of Dropbox, one of RapidShare's competitors, ever paid for a Dropbox account [dropbox.com]?
Paying for services is a lot like that - what do you need to invest to do it yourself, how much will it cost to buy it, what's the ROI, is it worth it.
...how much will it cost to buy it all over again once your existing provider goes mammaries-up...
Why does RapidShare think this will give them cover over piracy? The MAFIAA doesn't care; they're happy to burn down the Internet to protect their business.
The MAFIAA also don't really care about piracy, despite all their noise about it. Their goal is to maintain high prices and the business model that they know and control. Piracy is just a means to manipulate the publics attitude and justify the use of extreme measures by the government. Which for RapidShare means that they can't win unless they become part of the establishment
Bimbo Newton Crosby this is about control, especially to the RIAA. The future is video channels on the web and tours booked for a percentage instead of the frankly assraping and "Hollywood Accounting" that the record companies have been pulling and this scares the crap out of them. My oldest and his college buddies never listen to the radio, its all tube channels and internet streaming which gives unsigned and unknowns the same chance as everyone else to be heard and this scares the living hell out of them. Ultimately the MAFIAA want to turn the net into the home shopping network so they can go back to being the gatekeepers of exclusive content but frankly even film making with Machinima is getting damned good.
Anybody see "Escape from city 17"? Frankly it was more exciting than the last 3 Hollywood boomfests IMHO and that was made on a shoestring budget. Hell one of the more interesting movies I've seen in awhile practically had a zero budget, wish i knew the name. maybe if I describe it somebody will chime in, it was about a party for a friend that was moving off and as the story progressed you found out the reason the guy was moving was because he was actually over 10,000 years old and had to leave before it got too obvious he didn't age.
this is what scares the MAFIAA, that they won't be able to leech off of artists anymore like how they are screwing many 70s artists like Cheap trick by giving them NOTHING for digital sales, basically saying since it didn't exist when they signed in the 70s tough shit, or how Meatloaf went bankrupt fighting the studios who cliamed Bat out Of Hell I, the album with the record for longest stay in the top 200, actually didn't make a dime. Living close to Memphis I've seen kids sign and hand over an album the studios DIDN'T PAY SHIT FOR only to have the album sell 300,000 copies and get handed a BILL by the studios for "promotion expenses". The sooner that whole cabal DIAF the better.
> maybe if I describe it somebody will chime in
The Man from Earth (2007). I stumbled across it on cable last years and was pleasantly surprised.
Thanks a lot! I was wondering whether somebody knew it, because it sounded like a movie I'd like to watch.
Why does RapidShare think this will give them cover over piracy? The MAFIAA doesn't care; they're happy to burn down the Internet to protect their business.
Only in their wettest dreams will they be able to shut down all the thousands of sites that let you share files. RapidShare is trying to (a) not be next in line and (b) score points if they should try to take them down. And if they happen to get more paying customers while avoiding a lawsuit, that's killing two birds with one stone.
Back in the late 90s, I knew people who would leave their modems connected overnight on a dedicated line, with a download manager running, just to be sure they got the latest copy of whatever it was they were after.
Slowing up your downloads is just going to make people take longer to grab something, or they'll busily try to find a way to circumvent your "protection." Or, they'll move on to some other service or method, partially collapsing your business model.
In economics terms, file hosting is close to perfect competition. It does not take much money to rent a server at some colo, set up a web page, and upload and download files. So if one host decides to have crappy service, there are plenty of others to step in and replace them. There are also two other major forms of competition at the moment. One is P2P networks such as BitTorrent, and the other is "Sneakernet", ie local distribution. Make online distribution hard enough, and people will pass around bu
And in other news, the MPAA is fighting piracy by releasing movies that aren't worth copying, thus destroying piracy at the source.
Really, the 'direct public download' bushiness model is dying. They are far too open for attack by the latest anti-whatever craze.
The future is distributed storage with encrypted storage and transfers. Not sure how companies like mega and rapid will make a buck off it without opening themselves back up to the same risks, but that is the direction we are heading.
I wonder how many legitimate file sharing customers of Megaupload (like indie rock bands and open source software projects) started moving their files over the Rapidshare, only to get screwed AGAIN by these download transfer caps?
I wonder which free storage service is going to be next to cave to legal threats from the **AA's. Dropbox? MediaFire? SkyDrive?
Spending the time to set up a private FTP server of your own for private file transfers suddenly doesn't sound like a bad idea anymore...

I hope I explain this right and the best I can. Let me first start by saying I know nothing about Javascript at all so please be patient with me. HTML/CSS/PHP is normally all I deal with. Only reason I am working with it now is because I am dealing with Google Maps V3. I have been searching the web to get this far for a week and now I am stuck and can't find exactly how to do this. I know it is something simple for those fluent in javascript.
I have a test Google Map from this link which you can also view the code.
Now if you mouse over a polygon you will see an infobox pops up with the title and date. The date is outputted properly when you view it from the infoboxes. It shows the same date for all the infoboxes because I don't know how to take the variable I parsed from the XML file to be converted. Mainly because I have hard coded and ISO 8601 format to test the output in this line....
var dt = (dateFromString('2013-05-02T11:08:00-6:00'));
Now I have it setup and outputting properly the way I need it. Now this is where I am stuck. How do I take the parsed element from the XML file to be converted with the following snippet that is in my code for doing the conversion using SimpleDateFormat that I currently have it to output the correct date format?
function dateFromString(s) {
var bits = s.split(/[-T:+]/g);
var d = new Date(bits[0], bits[1]-1, bits[2]);
d.setHours(bits[3], bits[4], bits[5]);
// Get supplied time zone offset in minutes
var offsetMinutes = bits[6] * 60 + Number(bits[7]);
var sign = /\d\d-\d\d:\d\d$/.test(s)? '-' : '+';
// Apply the sign
offsetMinutes = 0 + (sign == '-'? -1 * offsetMinutes : offsetMinutes);
// Apply offset and local timezone
d.setMinutes(d.getMinutes() - offsetMinutes - d.getTimezoneOffset())
// d is now a local time equivalent to the supplied time
return (d);
var days = ["Sun","Mon","Tues","Wed","Thur","Fri","Sat"];
var months =['Jan','Feb','March','April','May','June','July','Aug','Sept','Oct','Nov','Dec'];
var ampm = " am";
var dt = (dateFromString('2013-05-02T11:08:00-6:00'));
var yr = dt.getFullYear();
var mth = dt.getMonth(); // months in Javascript are 0-11 so May is month 4
mth = months[mth];
var dte = dt.getDate();
var dy = dt.getDay(); // days are 0-6
dy = days[dy];
var hrs = dt.getHours();
var h1 = hrs;
var mins = dt.getMinutes();
if (hrs >= 12) {ampm = " pm"}
if (hrs >= 13) {hrs = hrs - 12}
if (h1 == 0) {hrs = 12}
if (hrs <10) {hrs = "0" + hrs}; // if leading zero desired
if (mins <10) {mins = "0" + mins};
var dtstring = dy + ", " + mth + " " + dte + ", " + yr + " at " + hrs + ":" + mins + ampm;
Here is to the link to the XML file
I have parsed <cap:expires> to create the variable of expires if you view the source of the code from the first link. I just don't know how to take that parsed variable and input it with the SimpleDateFormat so the infboxes are showing the converted date format for each entry from the XML file
Please be easy and patient with me. I catch on quick but I do not really know anything about Javascript or how it works and the terms. I have gotten this far after endless searches on the internet. So if anyone can offer me some advice I would be greatly appreciative. I am sure it is something really easy but I haven't been able to find anything about converting ISO 8601 with javascript from XML. It is possible I probably didn't know the correct search terms or what I am looking for or how to word it. I hope I have provided enough information. If I need to provide any more please just ask.
If I need to add more info please let me know.
I have it defined now but it still isn't working and firebug is telling me expires isn't defined.
You can see the current code I am working with from the link in the original post.

Dean Wareham has undoubtedly received many offers over the years, many opportunities advanced to him during his 25-year career in music. Take, for instance, the frequently requested reunion of his influential '80s alt rock act Galaxie 500, which he continues to refuse, despite how high the dollar stacks grow and high profile the situations that are offered. He'll play the music of that band — as he did during a show earlier this year as part of the local MTT Fest — but he won't get it back together.
Dean & Britta set music to the faces of Warhol's famous friends and collaborators
It's the island in the stream. The oasis on the long march through the desert. The bladder-friendly commercial break during an episode of Parks and Recreation where you're playing a drinking game that requires you to chug every time a character says something that you suspect they, the script writers and the kids at Entertainment Weekly think is funny, but which is really only mildly amusing at best and reliant entirely on the fact that you don't hope — in a wonderful series crossover and to further continue with the analogies — it was the town of Pawnee where Rick, Hershel and Glenn last had a drink before retreating to the farm. More succinctly: it's the calm before the storm. Isn't it?
Absence may make the heart grow fonder, but what it does to the ears is much more impressive. Old ears that have been yearning for it, new ears that are discovering it, fresh ears that are hearing it in a way they never did before — it's all the aural engagement you could ask for on your welcome return. And it's something that both Dean Wareham and Pete Kember (a.k.a. Sonic Boom) can attest to as veteran musicians whose previous works have found new life, necessitating the artists, themselves, to revisit their pasts, both of which will be on display this Saturday as part of the inaugural MTT Fest at the Royal Canadian Legion #1.

CAPSULE REPORT: Infused with botanical essences, this aromatherapy water pampers the body through its soothing fragrance, and refreshing complex flavors. But it's also a delicious beverage for aperitifs, palate-cleansers, digestifs—even a "dessert water." It's costly because it's a "spa product"; but it's a nice treat for your foodie friends.
We don't go to spas nearly as often as we'd like, but when we do, we find that we can't stop inhaling. There's something about that wonderfully relaxing aroma—usually some combination of lavender, mint, rose and cinnamon—that we can't get enough of. And though we could drink in the scent all day long, we'd never considered actually drinking it. Then we tried Purifique. One sip, and it was clear: somehow, Purifique has managed to take that addictively calming scent and put it in water form.
We should say right off that Purifique is not for everyone. As far as many people—some food-lovers among them—are concerned, water is best left untouched. It has no taste (or little taste), and it should stay that way; flavored waters are a travesty. If you fall in this group, Purifique will not appeal; and the price tag, $29.95 for a gift pack of two 12.5-ounce bottles, will seem outrageous. If, on the other hand, you enjoy subtly flavored waters, particularly those with interesting, complex characters, you will likely find this drink fascinating.
Presented as "The First Authentic Aromatherapy Drink," Purifique is described as "phytoaromatic distillations infused in pure spring waters." In other words, it is spring water infused with botanical essences. There are two flavors: depending on whether you are more gustatory or aromatherapeutic in nature, you can choose: Ginger Mint Bouquet, a.k.a. Purifique Spirit™, or Cinnamon Rose Bouquet, a.k.a. Purifique Harmony™. Sprightly Ginger Mint has a universal appeal; sexy Cinnamon Rose will appeal to those who prefer more exotic tastes. Think "Malibu" versus "Casablanca."
The website (which is a bit new-age-y with lots of spa-like references to "your sense of being" and "cleansing power") makes many claims on the beverage's behalf, some reasonable, others quite lofty. We have no trouble accepting the claim that it has no caffeine, no sugar, no sweeteners, no oils, no sodium and nothing artificial. And we'll buy that it is uplifting, calming, rejuvenating—even that it is a digestive aid. But can it really jog your memory? Boost your confidence? Support cellular integrity? Seems like a bit of a stretch.
But whether or not Purifique can live up to these claims is irrelevant to us. The reason it's recommended by THE NIBBLE is because it tastes special. It is worth drinking, not for its purported benefits (though they would be a nice added benefit), but for its unusual flavor profile and refreshing effect.
Like anything with a complex flavor, knowing where to include Purifique, culinarily speaking, requires some thought. At these prices, you'd have to be of substantial means to drink it in place of regular water. Instead, consider it as a special occasion water, like a fine half-bottle of wine, and pair it accordingly, serving it in small glasses. Some possibilities:
On the spa front, we like it as:
Purifique is a lifestyle water: for aromatherapy or for the pure pleasure of taste.
It's a luxury, but we love it.
Purifique Harmony (Cinnamon Rose) and Purifique Spirit (Ginger Mint)

A great gift for Mother's Day, hostess gifts, gourmet friends, water lovers, dieters, yoga enthusiasts, spa enthusiasts and romantics.

Universal Audio announced an update to their UAD software platform with five new plug-ins / emulators of pro audio hardware, alongside with some major fixes for RTAS, AU and VST users.
The very first update concerns UAD -2 for Pro Tools as it reduces the one time hardware I/O buffer size [previous hardware versions had the 2x limit]. This update also removes the Fairchild mono Audio Unit – you have to use the regular Fairchild instead. Bear this in mind when you are loading old projects where Fairchild is used. Furthermore, the driver writers made some major improvements to reduce the loads on various multi-processor systems and improved host CPU spiking / dropouts in Windows Vista – this is something that is more than welcome, since we witnessed massive CPU spikes on our Core 2 QX6700 machine. This update will also decrease CPU load for UAD-2 SOLO/LAPTOP model.
Our add-in cards for the in-house DAW: 2x Firewire, UAD-2 QUAD, UAD-1, UAD-1 and MOTU PCI-424
In case you're wondering who the guys from Universal Audio are, the company needs no introduction for almost anybody involved in the music and film industry. Company founder Bill Putnam Sr. was a recording engineer for Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles and many others. Back in 2008, he was awarded with the Technical Achievement Grammy award for contribution to the recording industry, including the first use of artificial reverberation, effects sends and the vocal booth. Transitioning from the analog to digital world, Universal Audio's UAD products are symbiosis of hardware DSP [Digital Signal Processing] PCI, PCIe and express cards for computers and software plug-ins that simulate analog gear for DAWs [Digital Audio Workstations].
First off, the new plug-in is no other than the legendary digital reverberator EMT [Elektromesstechnik] model 250. It was the first digital reverb in the world, based on algorithms patented by Barry Blesser and Karl Otto Bader. The reason for this plug-in is very simple – with the price tag of 20,000 dollars, only the few had privilege to use it. Also worth nothing is the fact that only 250 units were produced – most of them are still in use in professional audio studios around the world. The next plug-ins are various emulations of Empirical Labs EL-7 FATSO Jr./Sr. audio tape simulator and compressor. Empirical Labs is best known as the makers of EL-8 DISTRESSOR, considered by many producers as the best compressor/limiter/audio leveler in the world.
But the best features of this plug-ins are high frequencies saturator [for adding warmth to any digital sound] and knee compression Empirical Labs are known for. The Last, but not least plug-ins are the two EQ emulations of the legendary AMS-NEVE console: NEVE 31102 and NEVE 31102SE.
Long story short – if you already have UAD hardware in your system, this is a must download. If you don't, EL-7 FATSO Jr. and EL-7 FATSO Sr. are something worth serious consideration prior to your next audio hardware purchase.


text: Anybodyhome 5,147 Report post Posted January 11, 2013 "So to recap, a new general manager (Dave Gettleman) was given a head coach he had no voice in hiring, and now that coach has to replace half a staff and install a new system anyway. What could possibly go wrong? The background on the shuffle makes it more frustrating for the Panthers. When former GM Marty Hurney hired Rivera, he had a list of offensive coordinator candidates in mind along with a list of head coaches. It's believed that Bengals coordinator Jay Gruden was atop Hurney's list, but Rivera insisted on Chudzinski instead. Hurney, in a move that may have effectively doomed him, relented and let his new coach pick his own guy. Chudzinski is widely known as a smart guy, and his Ohio roots will give him a passion for the Browns job they need. But more than one of his former co-workers in Charlotte thought he was coaching to land a head coaching job, rather than using the tools he was given. Hence drawing up all the creative read-option plays, which were cute for a moment, while ignoring the fact he had been given running backsDeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart. The end result is Rivera's still standing, but scrambling for an answer, and the Panthers look like even more of a disjointed mess this morning than they already did."

Setting Up a Virtual Private Networkby Wei-Meng Lee, author of Windows XP Unwired
If you're out of the office and need to use a network resource such as a printer or file server, you're often out of luck. Unless you dial directly into the company's server, you won't be able to access network resources. Moreover, using a dialup line is not a cheap alternative (besides the slow speed), especially if you are overseas.
Your best bet is to use a Virtual Private Network (VPN), which allows you to establish a secure, encrypted connection to the office's network, using a public network such as the Internet. Using a VPN, you can work as though you are connected to your company's network, no matter where you are in the world.
There are two main types of VPNs:
This type of VPN allows a client to use a VPN to connect to a secure network, such as a corporate intranet.
This type of VPN connects two networks via a VPN connection. This effectively combines two disparate networks into one, eliminating the need for a Wide Area Network (WAN).
In this article I will explain the basics of VPNs and show you how to set up one yourself using Windows 2003 Server and Windows XP Professional.
Tunneling and VPN Protocols
Related Reading
Windows XP Unwired
In a VPN, two computers communicate through a VPN tunnel. Tunneling is the process of encapsulating packets within other packets to protect their integrity and privacy during transit. A tunnel performs such tasks as encryption, authentication, packet forwarding, and masking of IP private addresses. Think of a tunnel as a private link between the two computers; whatever one sends to the other is only visible to the other, even though it is sent through a public network like the Internet.
If you're curious about what goes on under the hood of a VPN, there are three protocols you need to know about -- PPTP, L2TP, and IPSec.
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)
This was designed by Microsoft (and other companies) to create a secure tunnel between two computers. PPTP provides authentication and encryption services and encapsulates PPP packets within IP packets. It supports multiple Microsoft networking protocols such as LAN-to-LAN and dialup connections. However, it is proprietary and the encryption is weak.
Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP)
This works like PPTP, except that it does not include encryption. L2TP was proposed by Cisco Systems and like PPTP, L2TP supports multiple networking protocols.
This protocol addresses the shortcomings of L2TP by providing encryption and authentication of IP packets. As such, L2TP is often used together with IPSec to provide a secure connection.
PPTP and L2TP are among the most likely proposals as the basis for a new Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard.
Setting Up a VPN Between Two Computers
In the following sections, I will illustrate how to set up a VPN host and client -- the host server using Windows 2003 Server and the client using Windows XP Professional.
On the Host Computer
Let's start with setting up the VPN host.
On the desktop, right-click on My Network Places.
Select Create a new connection.
On the New Connection Wizard window, select Set up an advanced connection (see Figure 1). Click Next.
Figure 1. Choosing the network connection type.
Select Accept Incoming connections. Click Next.
In the next window, you can select the other devices to accept the incoming connection. Click Next.
Select Allow virtual private connections and click Next (see Figure 2).
Figure 2. Allowing a VPN connection.
Select the users you want to allow to connect to your computer using the VPN connection (see Figure 3). Click Next.
Figure 3. Granting access rights to users.
The next window allows you to install additional networking software for this connection (see Figure 4). After you choose your protocols and software, click Next.
Figure 4. Installing the networking software for the VPN connection.
Click Next and then click Finish to complete the process.
On the Client
To configure Windows XP to connect to a VPN:
On the desktop, right-click on Network Connections.
Select Create a new connection.
Select Connect to the network at my workplace (see Figure 5). Click Next.
Figure 5. Selecting the network connection type.
Select Virtual Private Network connection. Click Next.
Enter a name for the VPN connection (see Figure 6). Click Next.
Figure 6. Giving your VPN connection a name.
Select "Do not dial the initial connection." Click Next.
Enter the IP address of the VPN server (see Figure 7). Click Next.
Figure 7. Specifying the IP address of the VPN host.
Select My use only. Click Next.
Check the "Add a shortcut to this connection to my desktop" checkbox. Click Finish.
That's it! When the process is completed, an icon will be shown on the desktop (see Figure 8).
Figure 8. The icon for the VPN connection.
To connect to the VPN server, double-click on the icon and login with your user name information (see Figure 9). You can now work as though you were working on a computer in your office; most (if not all) of your network resources, such as file and print servers will be accessible.
Figure 9. Logging in to a VPN connection.
Resist the temptation to check the box titled Save this User Name and Password for the following users. If you enable this, your password will be saved on your computer, and if your computer is stolen or compromised, an attacker will be able to connect to the VPN and access everything it protects.
Problem with Proxy Servers
One common error you might encounter has to do with setting a proxy server in Internet Explorer. My ISP does not require me to use a proxy server when surfing the Web. But when I connect to the VPN server in my workplace, I am suddenly unable to connect to the Web. As it turned out, my company requires me to use a proxy server to connect to the Web. With the proxy server configured in IE, I am now able to connect to the Web (see Figure 10). Check with your network administrator for proxy information, and how to set it up.
Figure 10. Setting a proxy server for a VPN connection.
IPSec and PPTP Pass Through
Most routers support a feature known as "IPSec and PPTP pass through." You may need to enable that feature on your router; check its documentation for details.
IPSec and PPTP are security protocols that provide authentication and encryption over the Internet. The "pass through" feature of the router allows secure packets to flow through the router but the router itself does not perform any authentication or encryption operation.
IPSec works in two modes -- transport mode and tunnel mode. Transport mode secures IP packets from source-to-destination, whereas tunnel mode puts an IP packet into another packet that is sent to the tunnel's endpoint. Only tunnel mode (ESP) IPSec can be passed through.

Borger man sentenced to 45 years for 2010 murder
A Borger man has been sentenced to 45 years for a murder that occurred in the spring of 2010.Yesterday, visiting 316th District Judge David Gleason sentence Jose Israel Rodas, 38, of Borger, to 45 years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for the April 17, 2010, slaying of 36-year-old Gloria Arias.Her body was found with multiple stab wounds early in the morning of April 18, 2010, in her apartment at 504 West Second Street in Borger. After an in-depth investigation by the Borger Police Department, Rodas, a native of El Salvador and the former boyfriend of Arias, was named as the key suspect and a warrant was issued for his arrest.On April 21, 2010, Rodas was captured in the canyons northwest of Borger by using a Texas DPS helicopter along with the assistance of several local law enforcement agencies. Rodas was indicted by a Hutchinson County Grand Jury on June 3, 2010, for first degree felony murder.As part of the plea agreement, Rodas pleaded guilty to the murder, waived his right to a jury trial and he further waived his right of appeal. 84th District Attorney Mark W. Snider prosecuted the case for the State and Rodas was represented by Borger Attorney James Mosley.Over the last year and a half, District Attorney Snider and his staff have met several time with Arias' children, and they approve of the 45-year prison sentence given to Rodas. Several members of the Arias family, as well as Borger Police Department detectives who investigated the murder, were present at the hearing. All three of Arias' children were able to formally address Rodas in court following his sentencing.District Attorney Snider said he is very pleased with the outcome of the case and hopes Rodas will remain incarcerated for the remainder of his life.

Louisville's second straight loss is a minor concern compared to Cardinals' quarterback Teddy Bridgewater's ability to play the rest of the season.
Bridgewater injured his non-throwing left wrist while being sacked late in the second quarter Saturday against Connecticut. But he returned with 4:55 remaining in the third quarter and orchestrated a game-tying, 92-yard drive ending with a 6-yard touchdown pass to DeVante Parker to force overtime.
The Huskies won 23-20 in the game's third extra period on Chad Christen's 30-yard field goal. Connecticut cornerback Blidi Wreh-Wilson's interception of Bridgewater set up the game-winning kick.
Bridgewater also came out of the game in the first overtime with a left ankle issue but returned to throw a 25-yard touchdown to Parker on the first play of the second extra frame.
"The leg injury is fine," Louisville coach Charlie Strong said after the game. "I would say he either fractured or broke his wrist."
Bridgewater finished the game 30 of 53 for 331 yards and two touchdowns. He was receiving treatment after the game and unavailable for comment.
While his teammates went to the locker room at halftime, Bridgewater went for an X-ray and came back to the sidelines as the second half began, with his left arm in a cast.
Bridgewater operated solely out of the shotgun after the wrist injury but Strong said his sophomore signal caller would be able to play in five days in the game that should determine the Big East title.
"He's a tough soldier. I know he'll be out there for this last game," wide receiver Damian Copeland said. "He just showed me how much he wants it."
The Cardinals (9-2, 4-2 Big East Conference) dropped their second straight after their first 9-0 start in school history. But the team's preseason goal of a BCS bowl bid is still possible with a win Thursday at first-place Rutgers.
"We're still alive. Rutgers end up getting beat today so we're still alive," Strong said of the Scarlet Knights' 27-6 loss at Pittsburgh.
The Huskies' defense made a 10-0 lead stand for more than three quarters before the Cardinals regrouped in the fourth behind Bridgewater. Although Louisville outgained Connecticut 401-241, the Huskies made the stand they needed at the right time.
"We were just looking for a few points in the second half and weren't able to come up with points in the third and fourth quarters," Connecticut coach Paul Pasqualoni said. "I thought our guys hung in there on pride and with character and how hard they fought in this game."
Bridgewater was sacked four times along with the game-changing interception.
Louisville, which lost leading rusher Senorise Perry two weeks ago with a torn ACL, gained 27 yards rushing.
"The way we were blocking, no running back could have been a difference-maker," Strong said of being without Perry.
For Connecticut, stopping the run was nothing new. The Huskies entered the game with the nation's ninth-ranked defense and was No. 11 against the run at 108 yards allowed per game.
And they applied those strengths early and often against the Cardinals, who had the conference's top scoring offense.
Louisville was outgained 160-88 in the first half while being shut out in the opening 30 minutes for the first time since Pittsburgh did it here a year ago. Bridgewater's timing and mechanics looked particularly off with passes either underthrown or overthrown.
His receivers didn't help him by dropping passes, either. One flub by a wide-open Parker on the second drive brought an angry Strong on the field to yell at his players.
"We hurt ourselves a lot," senior center Mario Benavides said. "Typical game when things aren't going your way, you stop yourself."
And while Connecticut's offense wasn't great, the Huskies took advantage of their few opportunities.
After two three-and-out drives, Connecticut moved 51 yards in eight plays to set up Christen's 39-yard field goal. Two drives later it was 10-0 as the Huskies drove 66 yards in 10 plays ending in Williams' 3-yard touchdown run.
The lead stood until Bridgewater's return inspired the Cardinals and the crowd of 45,618 late in the third quarter. After John Wallace's 19-yard field goal early in the fourth, Bridgewater directed a 92-yard, 13-play drive kept alive by a 28-yard pass to Eli Rogers and a 9-yarder to Wright for first down at the Huskies' 26.
A 14-yard pass to Wright and a face mask foul penalty on Connecticut set up first-and-goal at the 6, and Bridgewater found a wide-open Parker in the end zone.
"It's tough when you lose one like that, the way we battled back to get the game into overtime," Strong said.

installto - Install an 'installer' configuration file
version 0.904
# Will use installer file in current directory
installto ~/myprojectenv
# Using a specific installer file
installto -f /other/installer_file ~/myprojectenv
# The .installer file can also be fetched by URL:
installto -u http://stardestroyer.de/postgis.installer ~/myprojectenv
# Giving installer code as string
installto -e "perl '5.18.1'; cpanm 'Plack';" ~/myprojectenv
# On shell do the following for using the environment after installation
. ~/myprojectenv/export.sh
Sample .installer file might look like
perl "5.18.1";
url "http://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/source/v9.2.4/postgresql-9.2.4.tar.gz", with => {
pgport => 15432,
url "http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/1.10.1/gdal-1.10.1.tar.gz";
url "http://download.osgeo.org/geos/geos-3.4.2.tar.bz2";
url "http://download.osgeo.org/postgis/source/postgis-2.1.0.tar.gz";
cpanm "DBD::Pg";
This software is made for taking away the annoying task of installing a common specific bundle of requirements to a target directory. In the target directory installto will generate a export.sh which can be used to get all the environment loaded to use the installed programs.
Bigger example for installer file options:
url "http://host/file.tar.gz",
with => {
key => "value",
other_key => undef,
enable => [qw( satan )],
disable => [qw( god )],
without => [qw( religion )],
testable => 1;
Would endup with the following parameter on ./configure: --with-key=value --with-other_key --enable-satan --disable-god --without-religion.
You can give HashRef or ArrayRef at enable, disable, with and without to achieve whatever configure setup you need.
Also it would run "make test" if there is a Makefile after configuration. Another options possible (so far):
url "http://host/file.tar.gz",
custom_test => sub {
custom_configure => sub {
post_install => sub {
$self->run(undef,'command'); # run in target directory after install
export_sh => sub {
return "# extra lines", "# for getting added to", "# export.sh";
Same options can go towards a local file:
file "/some/local/file.tar.gz";
You can also run a custom command (it will be run inside the target directory):
run "custom_command", "args", "args";
Install specific perl (so far no options):
perl "5.8.8";
Install specific postgresql (with all required step to have it all setup):
postgres "9.3.0", port => 15432, superuser_with_db => 'myapp';
Or install packages via cpanm:
cpanm qw( Yeb Dist::Zilla );
Be careful! It doesn't care if you have installed a perl in the target directory or not, and just fire up cpanm, so it would install on your local perl installation, if you didn't installed perl before.
Or install packages via pip:
pip qw( rtree imposm );
Be careful! It doesn't care if you have installed pip in the target directory or not, and just fire up pip, so it would install on your local python environment, if you didn't installed pip before.
installto normally prints out the logfile of the output of the last procedure that fails. This allows easy fixing of those problems. You can then, after tuning the situation, restart the script and it retries the last comment (this might still a bit buggy, be warned).
In the case of a download problem or any other big problem that requires you to restart the specific step (like when you changed the URL to get a different version), you might want to delete fitting .json file in the installer directory, created in your target directory, this will force installto to redownload the file and restart this step complete over.
The generation of the export.sh still has some problem, you might need to adapt it by hand (for now).

New pediatrics center in LR to create 50 jobs
This article was originally published December 6, 2012 at 12:59 p.m. Updated December 6, 2012 at 2:19 p.m.

LITTLE ROCK A new pediatrics center serving children with disabilities and developmental delays in west Little Rock will create at least 50 jobs, organizers said at a grand opening Thursday.
Gov. Mike Beebe and Little Rock Mayor Mark Stodola helped cut a balloon ribbon signifying the ceremonial opening of Pediatrics Plus at a 31,000-square foot building on Aldersgate Road south of Kanis Road.
The $7.2 million project will create at least 50 jobs, owner Amy Denton said, noting the center is still figuring out how large its staff will grow. The new space will also allow the group to serve more than 400 families through features including 11 classrooms, two playgrounds and a large amount of dedicated therapy space.
The center is a major upgrade from smaller facilities Pediatrics Plus previously opened in Little Rock
"What we have unveiled is actually doubling and tripling the space," Denton said. "We can serve a lot more children. But also, [it's] the ability to serve the individual needs of each child. So all the space that's here has some special purpose to serve a unique need of a child."
The center has a special treadmill system that helps teach children how to walk and classrooms set up specifically for children with autism and social-emotional delays, among other features.
Pediatrics Plus, which has facilities in Russellville, Conway and North Little Rock in addition to Little Rock, offers physical, occupational and speech therapies to patients ranging from infants to 21 years old.
Denton said the center has been a hit with children already.
"Everybody is so blown away," she said. "Everybody is walking in saying 'this is so amazing.'"

EnderIO has been developed to remove those things I have found frustrating when using mod packs such as FTB. At this early stage, Ender IO provides three main sets of functionality:
- 1) A compact set of conduits for power, redstone and fluids (items to come). These conduits can all be combined within a single block space and hidden by a simple facade system that allows the facade to appear as any other opaque block in the game, wether its vanilla or from another mod. The facades are automatically hidden when a tool or conduit is equipped to allow modifications to your conduit system without removing and replacing the facades.
The power conduits support Build Craft power (MJ) and the fluid conduits support any fluid using the new Forge fluid API.
- 2) The EnderIO block and Enderface item can be used in conjunction to interact with any your machines or inventories from anywhere within the same dimension. The items are expensive, but tending to your bee hives without constantly running back and forth makes it well worth while!
- 3) Tired of having a limited selection of stairs, fences, walls or gates? With the 'Painter' you can now make these blocks appear as though they are made out of any opaque block in the game (including blocks from other mods), no matter how silly it may look! Dirt stairs? Diamond block walls? Maybe even something sensible….
Ender IO adds the following machines:
- 1) Stirling Generator (equivalent to BC Stirling engine)
- 2) Photovoltaic Panels (aka solar panels) at peak producing 1 MJ/t
- 3) Painter
- 4) Alloy furnace
- 5) Reservoir
Multiblock, place in a 4×1 pattern, fill with two buckets and you have an infinite water source. Eight click with a bucket etc to fill it, or attached Liquid Conduits or BC pipes. To auto eject into attached pipes / machines, right click with a wrench.
Using the EnderIO
- To remotely access your machines etc, craft the EnderIO block and the Enderface item. Place the EnderIO near your machines then right click on it with the Enderface to sync the two. To activate, simple right click on the Enderface from any location within the same dimension and a UI will open which displays all blocks within an eight block radius of the EnderIO. Right click on any of these blocks to open its GUI.
- The area around the EndioIO is not currently chunk loaded, so this must be handled separately.
Use Not Enough Items
Alloy Recipes:
- Activated iron = redstone dust + iron ingot + glowstone dust
- Activated gold = redstone dust + gold ingot + glowstone dust
- Ender iron = ender pearl + iron ingot + flowstone dust
- Fused Quartz = 2 x nether quartz
- Download and install Minecraft Forge installer
- Download Ender IO Mod
- Put Ender IO Mod jar file into your /.minecraft/mods folder
- Done

Fire Safety is the subject of this lesson teaching Stop, Drop, and Roll
Social Studies
Title – Fire Safety
By – Allison Duss
Subject – Social Studies
Grade Level – Kindergarten
Fire Safety
Kindergarten Health
Rationale and Background
This lesson is the first lesson in a three day unit on fire safety for kindergarten students. Fire safety is an extremely serious topic, which all children should be familiar with. The purpose of this lesson is to introduce students to the hazards of fire and help them to practice fire safety tips. In this lesson, the students will learn how to "stop, drop, and roll", and will construct paper "Stop, Drop, and Roll" hats.
Because this is the first lesson of the unit, the students know little about the Fire Safety. The class is familiar with 911, and has just finished a unit on strangers. The class has previously participated in hands-on activities involving hot and cold temperatures. All of the students have worked with the materials necessary to conduct this lesson, such as scissors and paste.
Lesson Objectives
1. After observing a smoke detector, kindergarten students will be able to describe how it is used in fire prevention in one to three sentences.
2. After a teacher demonstration on the correct way to stop, drop, and roll when endangered by fire, kindergarten students will be able to properly stop, drop, and roll when the teacher says the code word of "Stop."
3. Following a lecture on the method to stop, drop, and roll, kindergarten students will paste pieces of paper with the illustrations of stop, drop, and roll in the correct order, with an accuracy of 100%.
*Props for introduction
*Decorations for room
*Smoke detector
*Floor mats
*Oak tag or thick construction paper cut in sheets approximately 2 ft by 1 ft.
*Pictures of "Stop" (optional)
*Pictures of "Drop" (optional)
*Pictures of "Roll" (optional)
Introduction and Motivation
The room should be decorated with various objects associated with fire safety. For example, pictures of fire trucks, fire fighters, smoke detectors, and fire extinguishers are all good ideas. As the lesson begins the teacher shows the student a box filled with various props associated with fire safety, such as a toy fire truck, a smoke detector, or a stuffed Dalmatian dog, and asks the students to guess what each of these things have in common. The teacher goes on to explain that the class will be discussing fire safety throughout the week. He/She asks the students if they can think of reasons why fire can be dangerous, and lists them on the board.
Lesson Body
1. The teacher shows the students a smoke detector, and asks the students if they know what he/she is holding. The teacher then asks the students if they know what the purpose of the smoke detector is. After the students have been given time to answer, the teacher explains that the smoke detector is an extremely important part of fire prevention. He/She describes how the smoke detector works, allowing the students to get a close look at the appliance. The teacher also explains that the smoke detector should only be set off purposely if an adult is checking the battery, because others may hear the alarm and think there is a fire.
2. At this point, the teacher asks the students if anyone knows what to do if their clothes catch on fire. He/She explains that it is important to remember to stop, drop, and roll, and demonstrates on one of the mats in the front of the room. After demonstrating, the teacher will discuss the key points such as covering your eyes and pulling your arms in.
3. The students will be invited, two or three at a time, to stop, drop, and roll on the mats in the room. They will be instructed to say the words "Stop," "Drop," and "Roll" as they perform the action. The remainder of the students should also say the words with those physically involved.
4. After each of the students has had an opportunity to stop, drop, and roll, the teacher will explain that the class will be making paper "Stop, Drop, and Rollers". He/She passes out the illustrated pictures, oak tag, crayons, scissors, and paste to each table. The students are to color the three pictures; one marked "Stop", one marked "Drop", and the third marked "Roll", and paste them onto the oak tag in the correct order. The students may also draw their own pictures and write the words at the top if desired. The teacher walks around to ensure that all students are on task and helps those in need of assistance.
5. As the students finish coloring and pasting, the teacher rolls each of the pieces of oak tag into cylinder shapes for hats and staples or pastes them. The students are to wear their hats for the remainder of the day. When the teacher says the code word, "Stop," the students are to stop whatever they are doing, remove their hats, and roll them. This way, the students are practicing the drill, but the safety of the children is ensured.
Once all of the hats are made, the teacher will review the purpose of a smoke detector and the concept of stop, drop, and roll. The teacher will explain that the fire safety unit will continue throughout the remainder of the week, and ask the students if there are any questions.

Cutthroat Trout Flourishing in Hoback River [AUDIO]
Dr. Mack Sewell started work this week as the state's new occupational epidemiologist in the Wyoming Department of Workforce Services. Biologists say the number of cutthroat trout in the Hoback River has surged in the past few years, since a fish stocking program was phased out. Doug Randall has the details.
