Xerox Corp. has named a new president of its services business.
Robert Zapfel, also named as an executive vice president, is to join the company April 1. He succeeds Lynn Blodgett, who is slated to retire at the end of 2014. Blodgett will continue with the company as corporate executive vice president assisting with the leadership transition, the company said.
Zapfel will report to Ursula Burns, Xerox chairman and CEO.
"Bob Zapfel brings to Xerox extensive experience in global services with an emphasis on transforming complex operations to customer-focused, profitable and sustaining businesses," Burns said in a statement.
Zapfel is a 35-year veteran of IBM Corp. who helped guide the transformation of that company's services business to a profitable model. He left IBM in 2013.
Over two decades at IBM, Zapfel held a host of senior leadership positions in services, including head of the IBM's Global Technology Services business for the Americas, head of its 90,000 person strong global delivery organization and head of strategy.
He also ran the travel and transportation and financial services vertical businesses, as well as the services operations in Latin America. In addition, Zapfel ran IBM's global financing unit. He began his career in Chicago as a sales representative in 1977.
Burns thanked Blodgett for his years on the job. Blodgett joined Xerox as president of the services business in 2010 through the company's multi-billion-dollar acquisition of Affiliated Computer Services Inc.
Today 55 percent of Xerox's revenue is generated by its services business. The business is expected to account for two-thirds of the company's overall revenue by 2017, Xerox reported.

The Taylor Hooton Foundation, an organization that advocates against performance-enhancing drug use in American youth, cut ties with Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez on Monday following the news that Rodriguez would be suspended after Major League Baseball's investigation into the Biogenesis scandal.
"It is with sadness and disappointment that we learned today that Alex Rodriguez has once again violated the rules of Major League Baseball by using illegal substances," said Don Hooton, Taylor Hooton Foundation president in a press release. "We have had a good relationship with Rodriguez since early 2009 when we stood with him at his press conference in Tampa. There, he issued his public mea culpa, committed that he would not be involved in the future with banned substances, and said that he wanted to help us to encourage kids to stay away from them."
The foundation's board of directors met Monday and made the decision to sever their relationship with Rodriguez.
"It is simply not acceptable for the foundation to be delivering positive education messages to kids in partnership with an athlete who has continued to use performance enhancing drugs in violation of the rules of Major League Baseball and in direct opposition to the lessons that we teach children," said chairman Neil Romano.

Fertility Herbs
If you and your partner are having difficulty getting pregnant, you may have already begun to look into possible fertility treatments. And if you've seen how many options there are to choose from, you may feel a bit overwhelmed! While common fertility treatments like IUI and IVF are highly effective when it comes to increasing your chances of conception, they are also very expensive and can cause a number of physical and emotional side effects. For these reasons, more and more couples in the United States are putting their hopes into herbal remedies.
An herbal remedy is a type of alternative medicine that originates from plants and plant extracts. These natural remedies have been used for centuries and were the precursor to modern medicine. According to the World Health Organization, approximately 25 percent of all prescription drugs are still derived from trees, shrubs or herbs. Used to heal everything from diseases to psychological disorders, herbal medicine has also been said to work wonders in treating both male and female infertility.
Herbs and Fertility
Evidence of the use of herbal remedies to treat problems with fertility dates all the way back to 200 A.D. Despite their ongoing popularity in China and the Far East, the United States has been reluctant to endorse the use of herbs for infertility treatments because of a lack of scientific proof that they are effective. As more and more clinical data appears,
However, herbal fertility remedies are steadily becoming more popular in the U.S. Fertility-promoting herbs have long been believed to have a positive effect on both female and male reproductive organs, hormonal systems and sex drive. More specifically, fertility herbs can address hormonal imbalance, irregular menstruation, erectile dysfunction and sperm motility problems.
A recent study at the University of Surrey in the United Kingdom found that herbal remedies and non-traditional supplements could greatly increase a couple's chances of conceiving. Data shows that couples who were given vitamins, minerals and herbal remedies had an 80 percent conception rate compared to a 20 percent conception rate among those who did not receive the supplements.
There are more than 150 herbs used in the treatment of infertility. Some of them contain organic compounds that look very much like the natural hormones found in our bodies. Many of them are so similar in structure that, when taken, they can actually trigger your body to fill a void or correct a problem.
Fertility herbs have shown to work best in women who have hormonal imbalances or irregular periods, and men who have low sperm counts or infertility issues with unknown causes. Herbal fertility remedies can help establish normal hormonal functioning, nourish and tone your uterus, reduce your stress level, relax your nervous system and balance sexual desire.
Herbal remedies can be taken in several different forms, including capsules, tablets, teas and powdered infusions. Most good herbal brands come with a recommended dosage that usually involves taking the herb three times a day for several months to keep consistent concentrations of it in your bloodstream. It may be difficult at first to incorporate an herbal regimen into your daily routine, but once you get used to it, it isn't much more complicated than using oral contraceptives. Which herbs are used to promote fertility? Herbal remedies can be made from roots, leaves, bark, fruits and flowers. Herbs that promote fertility act as hormone-like compounds that can trigger multiple receptor sites throughout the body.

The Hot List: Summer 2012
Tory Burch is known not only for her chic, colorful clothes but for her equally vibrant sense of adventure; the designer is constantly on the go. When she's not checking in on one of her brand's outposts in Rome, Beijing, or Dubai, she's often jetting from one exotic locale to another, in search of what might become the inspiration for her next collection. (The concept for a bright pom-pom necklace for Resort 2012 came from a New Mexico cactus, and spring's straw tote and raffia bag were made by an artisans collective in Madagascar.) Burch's most recent international exploit took her on an elaborate side trip from Thailand to the far reaches of Myanmar, a resplendent (its perimeter is one-quarter coastline) and culturally rich land with a checkered political past. Formerly known as Burma, the country has been under military rule since the 1960s, and it goes without saying that dictatorial regimes do not a popular resort destination make. But over the past year, Myanmar has shown signs of opening up to democracy as well as tourism, and Burch, always on the travel vanguard, was on the first flight. "It was a great opportunity to show my boys a part of the world that's going through incredible change right now," she says.
What inspired your trip? Myanmar is one of those magical places I had read about and always wanted to visit—for its crafts, its architecture, and the unique mix of cultural influences from neighboring China, India, and Thailand, as well as the British colonials.
Why now? It is such an exciting moment in Myanmar history. There is a real sense of hope for the future, and they are really opening up to tourism. We had the honor of meeting Nobel Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, who recently won a seat in the Burmese parliament. She is one of the most extraordinary women I have ever met. She was under house arrest for 15 years but never lost hope and is determined to create a democratic country.
Where to stay: It was a little bit trains, planes, automobiles—and rickshaws—as we wanted to see as much of Myanmar as possible. Every place we stayed, from Yangon, the country's largest city, to beach resorts Ngapali and Ngwe Saung, was beautiful. But I especially loved the Inle Princess Resort. We were right on the shores of Inle Lake in small wooden chalets, which you approach by boat. Once in a while we'd row by floating tomato gardens—ingenious! The Burmese are working toward preserving this entire area.
On the menu: We ate fish everywhere we went, and it was all amazing. The entire trip was all about seafood prepared in a variety of ways—filleted, salted, and dried or as mohinga, a national dish of soup with rice noodles. I was in my element. Everything was fresh and spicy. At Ngapali Beach, my boys and I went down to the fish market to see the trawlers' catch for the day.
Chic souvenirs: I brought back incredible pottery, including some slim vases and bowls that I have been using at home, along with some traditional lacquerware made using a 1,000-year-old technique. In one of the local markets, I also bought a handwoven rattan minaudière.
Highlights? You can't help but be awestruck walking into temples like Yangon's Shwedagon Pagoda, which is covered in gold, or looking out over the thousands of ancient pagodas, temples, and stupas in the ancient city of Bagan. They're not just tourist landmarks; there's a cultural and religious reverence that is so strong, it has and will outlast any regime. My boys and I took part in the Buddhist tradition of sweeping the floors (with carefully crafted colorful brooms) at Shwedagon Pagoda. It is said to ensure good luck and earn you "merit" in the next life. Another must is sailing the Irrawaddy River on the boat Road to Mandalay. It's the perfect way to see the countryside. There were no outside distractions—not even cell reception or Internet. It makes you wonder if you should make a habit of leaving all the iPhones and iPads behind when you go on vacation.

So So
- Kakashi was 13 when he became a jounin and Obito died* at 13 . Rin died at 13 as well.
- Naruto is 16 years old the Kyuubi attacked happened on the day of his birth remember.
Using their current age as a marker there is only maybe 1- 1.5 years between Kakashi Gaiden and the Kyuubi attack.
Fire type
What chakra type are you?
Now that Naruto and Madara are fighting again, I wonder if Madara's Rinnegan Jutsu absorbing mode can absorb a full-On Kyuubi Bijuu Bomb attack.
I had a small problem with when Nagato's Fat Pain absorbed Naruto's Rasen-Shuriken. The Rasen-Shuriken attack is made from Chakra infused wind. Really the Fat Pain Should not have been able to absorb the entire Jutsu since he can't absorb the wind, only the Chakra in the wind. What if Naruto's Jutsu had been earth based and had created a Landslide The moving Mass of Earth should still have an effect even if the Chakra infused into it had been dispersed or absorbed.
Lastly, I think Naruto should better Bring Gai Sensei and Kakashi inside his Kyuubi Cloak again. Looks to me like Gai Senei is Just about done.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
Just like chidori isn't real lightning, but chakra shaped and modified so that it resemples lightning characteristics.
Kirin, on the other hand, uses true lightning, driven by basic chakra. I believe pain couldn't absorb that.
As for Naruto's Bijuu Bomb, though, I'd agree it'd seem like too much for Madara to absorb it all. I'd hope that, like Samehada, there is a limit to how much chakra the Rinnegan can absorb at once. I'd like to think this is the reason that Madara chose to defend himself with the Fan.
@POW: I totally understand Kishi has left himself very little wiggle room. I'd just the characters' ages in the databook (which were decided seemingly arbitrarily at times, making it appear as if Kakashi's "Generation" was not originally intended to be of one graduating class) to be the part of the story that suffers / is degraded, rather than the story itself. If it fits better for Obito to have been 2-3 years older instead of 1-1.5, then I'd hope Kishi confirms this and allows the rest of us to accept it.
However, I still think Obito's growth is *somewhat* acceptable, just given that Kakashi's growth seems equivalent in that time, and after all Obito could have simply been a tall kid. I was taller than my dad by age 15, for whatever that's worth.
I haven't said anything about the last chapter, all due to the timeline.. seriously. As POW has been stating ( like many other, including me ) --> it's just simple BULLSHIT! Why would you even make a fuckin " DATABOOK " , if you don't follow that damn thing?
- I mean; by going into this kind of details of each character:
Birthday: June 9
Heights: PART 1 = 175,2 cm , PART 2 = 178 cm
weights: PART 1 = 57,1 KG, PART 2 = 58 KG
JUST WHY, why going even into details like " 175, 2 " and " 57,1 " and right now.. with the most biggest reveal in Naruto Manga history, our Master Kishimoto.. simple ignores every fckin thing what he has written in the databook, related to the Kakashi Gaiden + Kyuubi attack. There's a HUGE difference between 2,5 - 3 years and 1 - 1,5 years, on top of that: if he was a genius uchiha like Itachi / Sasuke, no problem. I COULD GO with the idea of him being " TOBI ", but after litteraly a month.. it still so hard for me to deal with this kind of stuff, all because you wouldnt except something like this from KISHIMOTO.
- and that: " well Obito, you were right above my fckin hidden underground palace, you simple SLIPPED through ",.. O' REALLY ?!?!
From all the PLACES in the shinobi world.. it somehow has to be above Madara's Place, AND EVEN IF ZETZU went underground and took Obito to Madara, why like that?? Trying to say that he didnt had a plan if Obito didn't died near his place? Or HIS PLAN WASNT 100%?
Madara already gave his eyes to Nagato and simple waited for him to be ressurected. This means, that Madara probably put a trigger in Nagato's mind,.. that he eventually had to ressurect him back AND ZETZU was Madara's co-op for brainwashing Nagato etc. for the time being.
ANYWAYS, I'm not here to hate this beautiful Manga,.. but I can't wait anymore so that's why this post
- IF HE WASNT in R- Mode, then Madara's Mokuton could backfire.. as we've seen, Yamato's Mokuton reacted to Naruto's R - Mode chakra. WHAT if Naruro can eventually control and use the wood for his own advantage?
Well, Rin DIED.. but still; Obito has his own plans, I strongly believe that. You see; since the moment that RIN died and he went CRAAAAZY, Obito didn't saw any other solution left for brining her back and simple followed/partly believes in MADARA'S MASTER PIECE. but, following the plan is one part, but the second part are his " words " to Madara; is " Tobi " loyal?
- Tobi having that scary look on his face when Kabuto showed that coffin
- Madara's entrance after Tobi's reveal.. their dialogue and what Madara was saying towards Tobi.. it just didn't felt right.
Madara Uchiha,.. huge hunger for power / strenght, not blood but HATE floating through his vains and probably trying to execute this plan after his defeat @ VOTE, WOULD NEVER EVER make a pupil take care of all the glory.
Madara will kill Obito, that's a given. But the beauty about this is: I believe that Obito knows this. After he heared that Nagato used that technique for another purpose, he immedialtely starts his plan and key person: Sasuke Uchiha. Obito only wants RIN BACK, that's all ( hate the fact that his reasons, is to bring RIN BACK TO LIFE and end this endless pain/hate/horror/loss.. still, not convinced and found his reasons too weak for such a character that has been builded for literally 5 FCKIN YEARS )
- What has Tobi done to Itachi's eyes that were given to Sasuke? I believed that he made somekind of failsave,.. when Sasuke would try and use his eyes against him. WHAT IF, Tobi found a way to counter some of Madara's technique and somehow put that trigger inside Itachi's eyes?
Remember: When Itachi fought Sasuke,.. Black Zetzu was all confused. HOW could this be Itachi, it's nothing like him.. Tobi told Sasuke that Itachi was taken medicines, put this easy fact could also be known in Black Zetzu's case. What I'm trying to say is: Tobi probably doesn't tell BLACK ZETZU EVERYTHING.
Tobi can teleport faster then Zetzu from place to place, so he sees/hears and is able to do MORE when B-zetzu isn't around, things that could benefit TOBI ALONE in the end, and not in favor for Madara.
It's pretty obvious that Madara Uchiha is going to be first villain ( person ) that Naruto kills in this entire manga, but a shame for knowing what we know now about Tobi. Honestly; If Madara kills Tobi infront of Kakashi.. beautiful. seeing both of his friends dying infront of his eyes.. it would also FIT RIGHT: Madara killing Tobi, and then the switch to Naruto-Sasuke! Naruto- Kurama, Sasuke-Susanoo and Madara- Juubi with some Susanoo's in the background... EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!
... You're Dead 2 Me Now ...
^ You know what, by using Kage Bunshins, he could literally be in any 2 places at the same time. Plus, the Spiral Zetsu could protect a Kage Bunshin, the same way as he was originally protecting Obito, in case something/someone was able to hit him, or if the KB needed to resupply it's chakra (can KB produce chakra ? I know that they can store natural energy, but I'm not sure about producing chakra). This way one Obito could be completing the MEP, while being observed by Black Zetsu and the other would use Spiral's Zetsu's mind link to avoid other Zetsus hided in the ground, while completing his own agenda, well something like that .
This would explain what happened to Spiral Zetsu, Obito changing his masks and hair quite radically, not to mention it adds many possibilities to manipulate the world, and to alter Madara's original plan without anyone noticing. Perhaps what he is about to do, is to summon the KB Obito with the Spiral Zetsu, this would mean that Obito wasn't even using half of his power up to this point (since he would recover half of his chakra together with obtaining the benefits from being fused together with Spiral Zetsu).
Anyway, the hand seal that Obito performs at the end of this chapter is really strange.
<BTW> Since there is no chapter next week, I felt like I should share a nice Naruto Doujinshi with everyone (especially those with drawback syndromes :p): Naruto - Sazanka (Doujinshi) It's slice of life and concentrates on a Student - Teacher relationship between Kakashi and Minato. Pretty good and there are 2 chapters together (I think that the second one should be before the first one).

The suicide od old Madara is more mysterious to me as he did it at a time it seemed there were still too much jeopardy in the plan. But even for this: we might learn later from the story that the plan was foolproof.
1) Madara steals Hashirama's cells, and infuses himself with the cells, hoping that he'd gain Hashirama's Senju power and with it Evolve his eyes into Rinnegans.
2) The Plan did not immediately work, but years later after Madara had grown old and near death the Senju Cells Kicked in and Madara's Sharingans finally did evolve into Rinnegans.
3) Madara Gave his Rinnegans to Nagato, a gifted Uzumaki who had the potential to control the Geddou Mazou. In the hopes the Nagato would one day grow up and use the Rinne Tensei to Bring Madara back to life
Now we are not told how Madara planned to ensure that Nagatao would bring him back.
We know that Nagato himself had no Knowledge of Madara.
However Madara planned to use a Proxy or an Avatar to guide Nagato to bring Madara back.Spoiler!
The Proxy Must be able to control the Geddou Mazou, and must be able to use Mokuton.Spoiler!
The proxy Is PREFERABLY an Uchiha, since only an Uchiha could use the Techniques Madara taught/gave Obito
So Madara had to find a Proxy who was willing to go along with his plan, was able to use Mokuton/control Geddou Mazou, and who was able skillfully guide and use Nagato to bring Madara back from the dead.
Obito was the right Candidate because he could be persuaded to give up on Life/The world as it is, and accept Madara's Vision. He lost Half his body and thus had a massive amount of Hashirama's cells in him. As an Uchiha, he could pretend to be madara and he could use the Uchiha Kinjutsu and Inyouton.
Madara must be extremely Lucky that Obito came along, at the least.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !

Let's take a moment to credit (or blame) Francis Ford Coppola. Way back in 1982, Coppola pioneered the concept of shooting and editing a film electronically with One From the Heart. We've certainly come a long way in the close to three decades since that film was produced, but the objective of most electronic/digital cinematography remains the same — to create as film-like an appearance and visceral experience for the audience as possible.
Even the most ardent advocates of digital cinematography I spoke with concede that there is something unique about the look of film which digital has yet to match, in spite of the tremendous advances over the years. "It's getting closer," they tell me, but digital has not yet completely mimicked the look of film, or matched its latitude or longevity as an archival medium.
The question is: is digital cinematography "ready for prime-time" as a permanent replacement for film? In getting real-world experiences from DPs, I learned that many of the widely acknowledged advantages of digital are often canceled out by its unique quality and logistical issues.
Producer/director Kevin Shulman and cinematographer Robert Royds have worked together on dozens of music videos, commercials and a pair of award-winning shorts. As a team, they have used both digital and film cameras on their various projects, including the Panasonic VariCam, the X3, Phantom and the Red. At the time I spoke with them, they were prepping Sara's Cell, an indie horror film that will be their first feature.
Royds, who recently shot a commercial on the Phantom, speaks highly about that camera. "I like that it's a RAW-format camera. It gives you tons of information for post, which is where I would prefer to do image manipulation versus in-camera. And the footage looked terrific."
Royds has also had good experiences with the Panasonic VariCam, but he observes that the VariCam and others in its class are mid- to low-level cameras more suited to ENG types of projects than digital cinema because of the limitations of shooting in a digital format other than RAW.
"There's lots of in-camera painting that you can do with these lower-end cameras, which is great if you don't have the workflow for it later. I'd rather have my final say on the image in post. For example, I may be raising certain levels so they're really hot, or levels are not right. I'm doing it so I can stretch it all out later. But if a person doesn't look at my notes, the end result may turn out completely different from what I intended since I'm not shooting for what they're manipulating. That's where a lot of problems arise."
As both a producer and director, Shulman says he constantly has to maintain a balance between quality and budgetary restraints. On the surface, shooting digital would appear to provide considerable savings over film, but Shulman claims this isn't necessarily so. In fact, he says there often isn't a significant price difference between film and digital for many of the types of projects he shoots.
For example, just in terms of the prices quoted online, I was able to find an ARRI 35BL that could be rented for as little as $375 a day, including a Zeiss 50mm prime lens from Du-All Camera in New York City, while a comparable package for the 4K Dalsa Origin II rents for $3,000 a day. And Royd says that because of the growing competition from digital cameras, vendors will often cut great deals.
Shulman says he can dramatically control costs by limiting his shooting ratio to no more than 5:1 and closer to 3:1 whenever possible. Keeping down the shooting ratio enables him to save huge amounts of time and money in post since there's less footage to process and edit.
For Shulman, the most important reason to shoot film over digital is the visceral experience that film provides for an audience. And some of the newer film stocks, like Kodak's Vision3, sweeten the pot by offering DPs even more latitude combined with a finer grain than older stocks. "The believability of a performance is really enhanced by film," Shulman says. "It's something that's captured on a negative that's missing in digital. And it has nothing to do with what is physically captured on it, but rather the audience's interpretation of what they're looking at."
Veteran cinematographer James Mathers agrees that when it comes to picture quality, imaging flexibility and archiving, "Film is the gold standard." Even so, it won't be long before digital becomes the standard for feature film and television production. "The tipping point is coming, and probably within the next five years," says Mathers.
Mathers, who is a former child actor and younger brother of Leave It to Beaver star Jerry Mathers, is the co-founder and president of the Digital Cinema Society (DCS), which puts him in a great position –– not only does he get firsthand experience with all the latest digital cameras, he also gets plenty of feedback from the close to 4,000 cinematographers, editors and other filmmakers who have become members of the DCS.
As a working DP for over 20 years, Mathers has a vast filmography that includes television series, MOWs and feature films, including Lily Tomlin's The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe and the documentary The U.S. Versus John Lennon. Most recently, he shot the indie feature Montana Amazon (starring Academy Award-winner Olympia Dukakis and Haley Joel Osment) using the 4K Red One camera system.
As for lighting and composing, Mathers says that he shot Montana Amazon pretty much in the same way he would use a 35mm camera like a Panaflex or ARRI. However, all of the DPs I spoke with encountered new challenges and tasks in managing the massive amount of data generated by the Red One in terms of the image files and other records — beginning with the need to generate much more extensive logs documenting the technical details of what they've captured digitally.
For Montana Amazon, Mathers called on cinematographer Conrad Hunziker to help him efficiently deal with all the data. Hunziker wrote a program called R3D Manager that's designed to keep track of and follow the R3D files generated by the Red One wherever they go, and ensure that each copy is valid. It provides accountability at each step and validity to each copy –– and it's designed to generate perfect copies end-to-end, both from Red Media and standard hard drives or LTO tape. R3D Manager has become a very popular program that automates the download and backup process on set for the Red. It's one of a growing number of third-party programs being created to support the Red.
While the basics of a Red One system are fairly easy to learn, Red is always changing and adding new higher-resolution formats. Mathers says all the different standards may create confusion in the post industry, while the ever-advancing sensor technologies yield higher and higher resolutions, as with Red's Epic 617 camera due out in spring 2010 –– the 617 boasts a gargantuan 186mm x 55mm, 261 megapixel, 28K sensor.
While these high-reaching resolution systems may be overkill for theatrical features, Mathers reminded me that operating at higher resolutions and down-resing always improves your final image quality. And if you're working at higher resolutions, you're also doing more to future proof your product. "But for the kind of work that I do, I'd say that 28K is way beyond the point of diminishing returns," says Mathers.
Many people forget that archival capabilities represent another key factor in the film-versus-digital debate. However, with the rapidly changing collection of digital formats, both Mathers and Shulman pointed out that no digital format to date has the longevity of motion picture film in terms of both long-term protection and a universally embraced standard that can easily access stored content.
Any discussion about digital cinematography has to include the Red One system, which has dramatically changed the technology landscape, thanks to its relatively low cost and modular design intended to fend off obsolescence, including a steady stream of firmware upgrades (as of press time, #18 is about to be released with more on the way).
According to Red spokesman Ted Schilowitz, the vision of the Red One is to give filmmakers the most film-like experience possible with a camera system designed from the ground up to work and think like a film camera. The key is Red's adoption of the RAW format, which Schilowitz likens to a digital version of film. It gives the DP the ability to set color choices on set by using the user interface on the camera to create a very simple color look and color matrix.
While Schilowitz acknowledges that film has more overall latitude and can tend to hold the highlights slightly better, he says that when DPs learn where their exposure index is in Red, which is slightly different than when shooting negative, they're able to get a massive amount of resolution beyond what they can get with any traditional video-type video camera — even the high-end, digital cinema-type video cameras.
Meanwhile, a growing number of Hollywood features are being shot either in part or in their entirety on Red One cameras, including Steven Soderbergh's upcoming film The Informant, Peter Jackson's Crossing the Line, and effects elements for G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra and The Da Vinci Code prequel Angels & Demons.
Peter Hyams is one of a rare breed of directors that work as DPs on their own films. A cinematographer since his 1984 production of 2010, Hyams shot his most recent movie, Beyond a Reasonable Doubt, with the Red One. He chose the Red One because it was the only 4K camera on the market that was light and compact enough to use with a Steadicam. Once Hyams learned the parameters of what the Red One can do, he put it through its paces, adamant about not doing anything differently in terms of lighting or composing than he would do if he were shooting film.
Looking to the future, Red's Scarlet system (due out in late summer/early fall 2009) brings the cost of 3K shooting down to a low $10,000, pro-summer price point with an entry-level camera body, or "brains" as the official material calls it, that will sell for a projected $2,500 with accessories (like storage, a view finder, batteries, rails and a decent lens), bringing the total cost to a projected $7,000 to $8,000, depending on the specific configuration.
For those with bigger budgets and an appetite for higher-resolution cameras, there will also be 5K and 6K versions of the Scarlet, followed by the introduction of the aptly named Epic line in late 2009, which will feature 5K, 6K and 9K sensors, plus up to a 100 fps frame rate.
Mathers anticipates that these higher-resolution cameras will be embraced by the effects community since, like 65mm and refurbished VistaVision cameras, they offer a much bigger canvas on which to create their screen magic. If and when principal photography will ever be shot on a 9K system, much less something like the 28K Epic, remains to be seen. Mathers commented that for him, "28K is way beyond the point of diminishing returns."
In regards to postproduction, color correction can be crucial. da Vinci Systems collaborated with 3cP (Cinematographer's Color Correction Process) developer Gamma & Density Co. to ensure that 3cP is fully interoperable with the company's Resolve and 2K Plus systems, giving cinematographers the power for on-set color correction and calibration.
The 3cP system, which is packaged as a laptop computer loaded with 3cP software, has settings that can be passed on to the dailies timer and to the colorist directly involved with postproduction. Everyone in the postproduction environment has a precise preview of color decisions for dailies, pre-post, matching special effects and Digital Intermediate (DI) final color-grading. The 3cP system has been used on Iron Man, The Tudors, The Kite Runner and 10,000 BC, among other productions.
"3cP's tight integration with the Resolve and 2K systems makes it an even more useful tool to solve the problem of color consistency in today's post-production environment, particularly when it comes to DI work," said Yuri Neyman, DP and CEO of Gamma & Density. "There is often a disconnect between what a cinematographer expects and what actually occurs during the final color-correction process, a problem our two companies have worked on together to eliminate."
The system works with film, DI, video (NTSC/PAL) and HD productions to perform on-set color correction with live settings. These settings are then saved to a USB memory stick as ASC CDL XML files, which are easily transferred to the Resolve suite for finishing.
Back to the original question: is digital ready for prime time? The answer is a qualified "yes." Digital's logistical advantages –– especially in terms of editorial turnaround time and the flexibility that digital affords in post to modify (and fix) images –– give it an edge over film. But, just as with the analog-versus-digital debate that took place in the music world back in the '80s (with the introduction of the compact disc), there are purists out there who will argue that film would still yield the best possible image and therefore visceral experience for audiences. And, unlike in the multi-standard digital world, when it comes to preserving your work for decades (if not centuries), film still takes the prize as the most consistently reliable archival medium.

Connacht claimed a surprise 13-11 RaboDirect PRO12 victory over the Scarlets at the Sportsground on Saturday.
Connacht have won their opening two league fixtures of the season for the first time in six years after a 13-11 win over the Scarlets.
The Irish side followed up an 11-9 win against Benetton Treviso in Italy last weekend with a hard-fought success over Nigel Davies' men.
Scarlets held a 6-0 advantage approaching the interval thanks to two Dan Newton penalties, while Matt Jarvis had missed with his first shot at goal for the home side.
Jarvis, though, made amends two minutes before the break to give Connacht a foothold in the game, although the sides could have gone in level had he not missed his next attempt on the stroke of half-time.
Scarlets scored the first try of a nip-and-tuck contest early in the second period, lock Aaron Shingler burrowing his way over following a line-out close to the Connacht line. Newton missed the conversion.
Michael Swift and Rob McCusker were both shown yellow cards for their respective sides, but Connacht were the ones to profit with a try from right wing Mark McCrea following great work by ex-Leeds man, Henry Fa'afili. Jarvis added the extras to leave Connacht trailing by a single point.
Niall O'Connor, on the field as a replacement for Jarvis, turned out to be Connacht's match-winner with a 69th-minute penalty to send the 3,408 strong crowd home happy.
The scorers:
For Connacht:
Try: McCrea
Con: Jarvis
Pen: Jarvis, O'Connor
For Scarlets:
Try: Shingler
Pen: Newton 2
Connacht: 15 Gavin Duffy (capt), 14 Mark McCrea, 13 Eoin Griffin, 12 Henry Fa'afili, 11 Tiernan O'Halloran, 10 Matthew Jarvis, 9 Frank Murphy, 8 George Naoupu, 7 Ray Ofisa, 6 John Muldoon, 5 Mike McCarthy, 4 Michael Swift, 3 Rodney Ah You, 2 Adrian Flavin, 1 Ronan Loughney.
Replacements: 16 Ethienne Reynecke, 17 Brett Wilkinson, 18 Stewart Maguire, 19 TJ Anderson, 20 Johnny O'Connor, 21 Paul O'Donohoe, 22 Niall O'Connor, 23 Brian Tuohy.

Nice shoe and puts up with water/snow
"I like the chocolate brown suede with the pop of yellow sole, but best of all I wore these one night in heavy sleet/snow and though they got soaked all the way through, they dried well and the suede was not visibly affected at all! I'm wearing them right now and they still look good."

"I have owned this pair for 4 months and I do like them, I only wear them for special occasions because it can be hard to match this with a good outfit. This shoe does run slightly long, I usually wear 10.5 but I got a 10 because they fit the best. Very comfortable shoe, have worn them for multiple occasions for more than 8 hours long and my feet still feel great. The laces also stay in good condition and you do not need to replace them. I would recommend this shoe for people."

Baylor Biochemist Visits McMurry
by gwilson on Feb.06, 2010, under Uncategorized
On Thursday, February 4th, McMurry played host to Dr. Sung-Kun Kim from Baylor's Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry. Dr. Kim spoke to students and faculty about his research into strategies for inhibiting activity of metallo-beta-lactamases. These enzymes destroy the beta-lactam antibiotics (penicillins, cephalosporins) and thus make the bacteria that produce them resistant to these drugs. Such enzymes are commonly called penicillinases, and pose a threat to effective treatment of patients with many types of infections.
Dr. Kim's strategy involves the use of small, specific nucleic acid fragments he has labeled "aptamers" as penicillinase inhibitors so that the enzyme is disabled and cannot destroy beta-lactam antibiotics co-administered. Such an approach would mimic that used in the product Augmentin (R), which combines amoxicillin (a penicillin) with clavulanic acid – a chemical that is inhibitory for normal beta-lactamases. Because this approach does not work with the metallo-beta-lactamases, a new inhibitor was sought for this second class of beta-lactamases.
Through use of novel screening methods known as SELEX, candidate inhibitor fragments were identified and created. Tests revealed some 10-nucleotide fragments gave enzyme inhibition in nanomolar concentrations. Results from specificity tests and other tests of the molecules show promise for this new class of drugs for providing protection for beta-lactams that has not been available to date.
Dr. Kim's presentation was entertaining and informing, and was received by an appreciative audience of students and faculty. He reminds us that biomedical science is an ongoing quest to make the next advance in the never-ending war between humans and disease. He stayed around afterward to meet with students interested in graduate programs available at Baylor, and to distribute the "Baylor toys" brought as giveaways – mementos from Baylor of his Abilene visit. More on Dr. Kim's research can be found at his Baylor webpage: http://www.baylor.edu/chemistry/index.php?id=49300.

In one of Utah's daily newspapers an article appeared in their Business Section on Dec. 22, 2005, titled, PacifiCorp CEO to step down. The article went on to point out that Judi Johansen will step down as president and chief executive officer of Portland based PacifiCorp, after PacifiCorp which operates as Utah Power & Light Company here in Utah completes its sale to Mid-American Energy Holdings Co. That is expected sometime in 2006.
Johansen will receive $1.19 million in severance compensation and in addition, Johansen will get $790,000 the amount of her annual salary.
You can bet your bottom dollar, that when Mid-America takes over, they will be first in line at the door of the Utah Public Service Commission which should protect us from these high handed shenanigans, to request a rate increase.
Will they approve Mid-American request for their rate increase, following the same pattern as they have done every year in the past with their Questar pantomime?

My family has been struggling financially. I am self-employed. If my monthly bills (no credit card debt) are more than I make in a month, do I still tithe? Last month I made about $2000. My monthly bills are about $3000. I had to borrow to cover the rest. Do I still tithe the $200 thereby making me short $1200 rather than $1000?
You are in the position that many people are finding themselves today, the money runs out before the month does!
There are some things I need to assume as we talk about your question:
So, start out with some baseline ideas:
Do not go into debt to tithe. We tithe out of what the Lord provides, not out of what we do not have. In his providence God has brought you into this time in your lives, but it can be the best time to grow spiritually as you remember, better than most people do, that ultimately, everything we have comes from God's hand.
I hope that these thoughts give you some encouragement. Talk to your pastor, see what counsel he gives, see if there are ways you could tithe time to help at the church or serve others. Study the Scriptures about giving (there are free resources online through Crown Financial Ministries) and ask the Lord to teach you so that you will look back on this time with thanksgiving over the displays of his loving care.
"Questions and Answers" is a weekly feature of the OPC website. At least one new question is posted each week, so there should always be something new here for you to read. (For those who would like to look at previous questions and answers, they will continue to be available as well.)
The questions come from individuals like yourself. If you have questions about biblical and theological matters, you are invited to send them by e-mail by using the "Pose a Question" link on the OPC home page or by clicking here.
The purpose of the OPC website's "Questions and Answers" is to respond to biblical and theological questions. Matters of church discipline, disputes, or debates go beyond the scope of our work. We recommend that you present your concerns in these areas to the appropriate judicatory. In most cases this will be to a local pastor, elder, or session. We do not want the website to replace personal involvement in, or commitment to, the local, visible church.
While we will respond to every serious questioner, we are not bound to give a substantive answer to every question, should we deem the question to be beyond the scope of our purpose or our own ability to answer.
You will receive an answer by email. Please be patient as many of our respondents are busy pastors. The response to your question may take up to two weeks. Some of the questions submitted will be chosen to be posted here, along with the corresponding answers.
The answers come from individual ministers in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church expressing their own convictions and do not necessarily represent an "official" position of the Church, especially in areas where the Standards of the Church (the Scriptures and the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms) are silent.

A new website, Facebook page and Twitter feed have cropped up indicating that Black Isle Studios is once again a living breathing entity. Even though not MMO-related, most of us are also RPG fans. Who wouldn't be excited to see the creators of Fallout, Planescape: Torment, Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale and other classic RPGs coming back to life?
You can check out the new Black Isle Studios site but beware! It's moving very slowly, doubtless being hammered by adoring fans!

I wondered about that when first read it. "What about the people? Aren't they like all over the place? Did they all quit their current job, did they organize that "in secret"?"
Seeing that it's the name only, it's pointless. If Interplay has a team capable of "bringing back" Black Isle, they don't need the name. If they use the name, but don't have the team, it will only tarnish it. With enough people getting upset about it, it could even end up bad for Interplay, instead of simply being of no use.

It's an 'in-name only' revival... BUT I'm willing to give a new group of folks under that name a chance. I'll be keeping an eye on this to be sure.
At least wait until they release the first game under the resurrected label to judge them folks, yeesh.
I've recently been playing Baldurs gate 2 for the first time ( I played 1 and Icewindale back in the 90s ) . This was a quality studio lets hope it will be again .
On a side note apparently overhaul games has plans to release the unfinished Baldurs Gate 3 .
Hopefully they bring back the old Warlords turn based strategy games, loved that series.

i would say ukitakes shikai the fact that it is able to absorb the opponents attack and send it back to him it is pretty interesting. and i think that it is weird also because we still dont know if it can only absorb energy blast type attacks also for example absorbing yamamotos flames and sending them back to him
but i think people like kyoraku and hitsugaya's zan are cool, hitsugaya can change weather (he can make it rain! lol) and kyoraku's is just genius hiding in shadows come on it dont get no better also love kiras

The process of becoming listed as a lung transplant candidate and the ensuing wait period can be an extremely stressful time for both the patient and those who care for him or her. A range of emotions and behavioral manifestations of these emotions may come with the listing and waiting process. It is important to be open about your feelings and have someone to talk about them with.
Keep in mind that it is normal to be stressed at this time: the battery of tests to get listed, the financial aspects of transplant, the possibility of relocation and, in some cases, false alarms for donor organs are all stress-inducing. Other emotions that are common in transplant candidates include anxiety and frustration at having to wait or guilt that the donated organ will come from a deceased donor. Again, all of these feelings (and many more) are normal and are perfectly OK to feel, but it is important to develop positive coping skills to get through this difficult time.
There are many resources and different approaches to help deal with the broad range of emotions that transplant candidates feel. The United Network for Organ Sharing provides a state-by-state support group list for organ recipients. Your transplant center may also provide emotional support or be able to connect you with a support group in your area.

On Sept. 4, the North Emery Water Users Special Service District held its monthly meeting. Kevin Jensen was welcomed to the board as a new member.
Roy Nikas, from Price Insurance, was on hand to discuss the insurance policies the district carries. He informed the board that Sept. 21 is the date by which the forms should be filled out and returned as that is the date their current coverage expires. The board approved to carry the insurance that Nikas had recommended.
Merrill Johansen gave the update from Johansen and Tuttle Engineering concerning the final inspection and painting of the water tank. Johansen explained that all the work is complete and the contractor will come back in one year to do another inspection as a follow up on their work.
Johansen also explained that the work at Rilda Canyon Springs was nearly complete. The manholes and cleanouts are installed and the lids are coming. He also stated that he is working with Darrel Leamaster on the root cleanout problem. The root cutter machine works very well except for the 45 degree angles and there is a need for cleaning these. Craig Johansen is also looking into the solution and is expecting it soon.
Merrill Johansen presented the board with the final copies of the fence and pump house work for the Community Impact Board.
Jack Stoyanoff expressed his concern with the rocks around the manholes. He said the ground needs to be smooth and slope away from the covers. Johansen assured the board that he would see to the solution to this concern.
The board requested the certification papers from Carl Fillmore and Ray Quinn. Stoyanoff informed the board of a request for a water connection in an area of the system where it is not possible to add any more connections at the present time.
The CIB grant for the new water treatment plant was discussed next. NEWUSSD has applied for and received a grant to expand the size of the water treatment plant being built by PacifiCorp and Genwal mining companies. This grant will make NEWUSSD part owners of the treatment plant. The board approved and signed the grant.
An informational meeting was held with Energy West recently to discuss the possibility of installing a bathhouse and portal below Rilda Springs. Energy West requested permission to move some distribution lines if that becomes necessary. Randy Bell informed the board members who were not present at that meeting that Energy West has a good plan and all the bases are covered. He has also been assured that there is no possible way for hazardous material to get into the water supply.
A request was read from two residents who wish to build homes where NEWUSSD does not have service lines. NEWUSSD approved issuing a letter to the residents, who can then go to Castle Valley Special Service District for the connections and service.
The next meeting of NEWUSSD will be Oct. 2 at 7 p.m.

NASHVILLE -- It's like walking into a honky-tonk on these downtown streets and finding Diddy on the banjo and Jay-Z on the keyboard.
A bizarre phenomenon has taken over this town, leaving baseball agents scratching their heads and team owners sleeping a whole lot easier at night.
There have been dozens of free agents who have agreed to contracts this offseason, but except for center fielders B.J. Upton and Angel Pagan, not a one has received more than a three-year deal. Call it the Alex Rodriguez and Carl Crawford tutorials.
Teams are adopting the philosophy that it's fine to overpay their players, but in return for the extra loot you'll have less years of security.
It's why Shane Victorino is being grossly overpaid at $13 million a year. But instead of the five-year deal he sought, the Boston Red Sox signed him for three years.
Texas Rangers center fielder Josh Hamilton might be the most talented player on the planet, but he won't be getting anything more than a four-year deal from the Rangers to stay, a high-ranking Rangers executive told USA TODAY Sports.
The executive spoke on condition of anonymity because contract talks are ongoing.
R.A. Dickey might have won a Cy Young Award with the New York Mets, but the Mets aren't budging, refusing to offer more than a two-year extension.
"There's been a preference to try and keep the deals shorter," Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington said. "In order to do that, we may have to use a little bit of our yearly flexibility to get it accomplished."
Voila! The team that signed first baseman Adrian Gonzalez and Crawford to seven-year contracts worth a total of $296million two years ago are abandoning their drivers on the tee box and going with their short game. They signed first baseman-catcher Mike Napoli and Victorino to three-year, $39million deals.
It is the new unwritten Economics 101 philosophy.
Several high-profile agents told USA TODAY Sports that teams have become scared committing to long-term contracts and have adopted a new way of approaching free agency.
The horror stories of the Yankees still owing Rodriguez $114 million over the next five years while Crawford has $108.5 million left in the final five years of his deal has executives petrified they could be saddled with similar millstones.
You know the baseball world has been turned upside down when the Yankees, after being outbid by the Pittsburgh Pirates for catcher Russell Martin, can't even afford to sign Jeff Keppinger or Eric Chavez. It's outrageous enough that the Yankees actually were coveting these guys.
Keppinger agreed to a three-year, $12 million deal with the Chicago White Sox and Chavez got a one-year, $3 million deal from the Arizona Diamondbacks.
What's next, the Yankees qualifying for revenue sharing?
General manager Brian Cashman politely declined to comment about their approach Wednesday, but power agent Scott Boras did the talking for him, along with everyone else in his own state-of-address to news reporters.
"(Cashman) is not on a lot of players that he liked," said Boras, who met with him earlier. "He'd like to be in on more, but right now he is working with ownership to see where he can go. …
"The model to be a Goliath is totally different than the approach they're taking. They're reducing their payroll despite record revenues in the $800-$900 million area."
Certainly, agents say, it's too early to call it the wave of the future. Zack Greinke might get a seven-year deal that's the richest ever for a pitcher.
Starter Anibal Sanchez already has a slew of five-year offers. There's a better chance of Boras becoming the next baseball commissioner than letting his center-field client, Michael Bourn, sign for less than five years.
"It's a 'Laissez-faire market,'" Boras says. "These markets work like your pants. You put on the bottom first, and then pull them up."
There's no doubt baseball is thriving, with revenues projected to exceed $8 billion, but maybe teams are getting wise. You might not always make the right choice in free agency, but if it's the wrong one, at least the embarrassment ends quicker.
Thank you, A-Rod. You too, Carl.

|In response to Re: DWV system
Okay, I can certainly go along with the idea that it could be another problem, but I don't know where to turn. As stated, a plumber has been here twice. This plumber was maybe 22 years old. His "fix" of installing a new toilet did not fix the problem. Today he decided that it must be a main line problem, but immediately corrected himself and said my private sewer system (called a mo-dad) must be 'Full." When I called the mo-dad folks, they asked if my access valve had a "rotten egg" smell, it doesn't. It smells fresher than the air in my home, quite pleasant. I have never had aproblem with this system. The mo-dad agent said it sounds like a vent problem. I am eager to get to the bottom of this as the lack of a real flush has been going on for 5 years (since we bought the house.) While I appreciate the response, I am still curious about the answer to my question. How does one access the proper vent line when it is within the walls? I only ask because I would like to be prepared for what the next plumber suggests, and tearing out the walls sounds very expensive. I only have one vent through the roof for both bathrooms.
Thanks again, Trish
: I do not think I have ever seen a "real" vent problem in 50 years, unless it was installed improperly and the vent was not done correctly. Therefore, I would also look at a lot of other things before blaming the vent. In addition, the only vent that would have the problem would be the one that goes up through the roof and that one is easy to access from the roof.
: : I am certain based on info from these boards that I have an obstruction in my toilet vent. I found a diagram that you put into a thread that showed how the sink, toilet, and tub vents are joined together within the walls before exitting through the roof. Since my tubs, sinks, and one toilet are operating fine (I have back to back bathrooms), I assume that I may have a blockage in the portion of vent that runs to the toilet with the problem. I have all the symptoms of a vent problem (glurping sound, illusive lazy flush even after replacing the toilet.) My question is this, how does a plumber access the correct line without tearing out the walls? I have already had a plumber here, TWICE, but am now convinced he doesn't know how to fix it, even after I offered the vent as the problem. Frankly I am "plumber shy" after paying the last guy $315.00 for a toilet I likely didn't even need. I have indicated the diagram you previously gave in the optional link URL space below.
: : Thank you for your assistance. This is a wonderful and well planned website.
