Colorado STate Head Coach Larry Eustachy
(on defense on Anthony Bennett)
"When he got the ball, we were on him. His eight shots for the most part were hard fought. He is a great player and we put numerous guys on him. We did a great job, because he has put up monster numbers. He had one offensive rebound tonight, and he had nine alone against Air Force earlier this year. We kept UNLV off the boards enough to win. I told the team whoever wins the rebounds wins this game, and we got two more rebounds than them. We did a good job on Bennett and our team showed a lot of heart. There is a reason that we have won 24 straight home games, and it's because of the players. Number one you have to have players, and right next to that, you have to have fans. I don't think we win this game on a neutral court. They really pulled us through it."
(on Dorian Green)
"(Tim) Miles told me that I was going to love him (Dorian), particularly in these types of situations. I think Dorian was really disappointed in his play down in San Diego, and all he really did was miss shots. I got with him and told him that he is twice the player that he was last year. He does everything now, and it's tiring, but I think he has another gear which he hasn't experienced before, but he is starting to. We put him on (Anthony) Marshall at the end because Wes (Eikmeier) was in foul trouble. I think Wes is also the story of this game. It didn't go his way foul wise, but I thought for him to stay in the game mentally on the bench, and to come in late and make a huge shot and some huge free throws was great. With him out there, like all of our seniors, our team is just so much better. The ball doesn't stop in his hands, he doesn't search for shots. He was the happiest guy in the locker room and he scored six points. I don't think he was that way three years ago, but he's in to winning and he is really a complete player."
(on transition defense)
"That's what we do; rebounding, and transition defense and defending. We spend a lot of time on it. It's drilled in to our players. That's the fastest team that we have played and the team that emphasizes pushing the ball the most, I didn't realize we held them to zero fast break points."
(on UNLV's second half)
"The last two minutes of the first half and the beginning of the second half, I just thought we weren't playing as hard. They made shots and they missed shots that they normally make, so I just think it balanced out. They are great players and they make great shots. I think they were the same shots as the first half, but they just made them."
(on Greg Smith)
"I think Greg is a better player than he thinks, and he can do more things than he thinks. He doesn't need a friend; he needs a coach. He responds to that, and we don't win the game without him. I think he is a different player from when we first started; he has really bought in. You don't change so much and be so effective if you aren't listening and truly believing in the coaching staff. He is doing that."
Colorado State Players
Dorian Green
(on what a win over UNLV says about this Rams team)
"I think it just shows the maturity and what we can do as a team. We just kept battling and stuck with it. We made big plays down the stretch and got big stops. It just shows what kind of team and chemistry we have."
(on whether they expected to win after Colton Iverson shooting 1-for-8 and Eikmeier only scoring six points)
"I think definitely. We always expect to win; we have that confidence. Our backbone is defense and rebounding and that is what we did at the end of the game. We held them to one shot and we made some big plays defensively. Then we stepped up at the free throw line and we shot 19-of-21 from the line. That is what you have to do to win."
(on his performance Saturday)
"I just tried to be aggressive. I got a couple open looks early thanks to some good screens by my teammates. I just wanted to be aggressive early and find a way to give us a chance to win."
Greg Smith
(on holding Anthony Bennett to a season-low nine points)
"Early I gave him two uncontested looks and the coaching staff - they didn't like it when I came off the court. I had to put a lot of thought into what I was doing because he is an unbelievable player."
(on how his game changed after Head Coach Larry Eustachy pulled him in the first half)
"You just have to stick to what you're doing. We have a way that we play and if we don't do that he (Coach Larry Eustachy) is going to get on us because that gives us the best chance to win. When you do something that he doesn't like you know he is going to get on you. You have to shake it off and do what you're supposed to do."
UNLV Head Coach Dave Rice
(on the game overall)
"A very competitive college basketball game. We knew this was going to be a challenging week for us with two games on the road; one at San Diego State and this game in Fort Collins against Colorado State, a team that had won 23 in a row on their home floor. I was proud of our effort. We didn't have a lot of energy to start the game and then we found our way. We tried to play more guys in the first half to help us have some energy down the stretch, and they just made a few more plays down the stretch than we did. The guys are bitterly disappointed with the result. We were right there in the closing minutes and just could not get it done. It was a very physical game. It was the first experience for some of our guys with how physical Coach Eustachy's teams are. It was hard for us to get a post catch, hard for us to drive the lane and that's credit to Colorado State and how tough and how physical they are, and the way they're able to bump cutters. Again, disappointed that we did not get it done down the stretch. We'll take tomorrow off as we travel back, and come back and practice Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday to get ready for Wyoming on Thursday at home."
(on the offensive strategy in the second half and missed defensive rebounds)
"We were just having a hard time getting any post touches. Colorado State is extremely physical in the post and we were having a hard time catching the ball on the block. That'll be something we'll have to address the next time we play them. The best thing for us was just to do something that was working. Too one-dimensional? I mean, other people will have to be the judge of that. We shot 56% from the floor in the second half and we shot 28% in the first half. So, as a coach, it's my job to find out something we can actually make some baskets to keep ourselves in the game. The biggest thing, again, was that we just had a couple defensive rebounds that we didn't get down the stretch that turned into Colorado State points."
(on Pierce Hornung's key offensive rebound with less than a minute left and how that affected the game)
"We did a great job on that defensive possession. We were going to play it out, with the deficit being three, we were going to play it out and did a great job on the defensive possession, and then we just didn't get him blocked out. That's just one of those things. He's always a factor, because he's one of the best rebounders in this league. We just have to put bodies on him and make sure we go get him."

XFrom a University Akron news release: University of Akron women's basketball head coach Jodi Kest announced on Tuesday that senior forward Sina King will sit out the 2013-14 season due to medical reasons.
King is currently being treated and monitored for blood clots, which will sideline her for at least six months. Her condition will be re-evaluated at the end of the scheduled treatment period.
"The health of our student-athletes is always our top priority," said Kest. "Sina has been instrumental to our recent success, and although her presence on the court will be missed, she will remain an integral part of our program. "
Last season, King averaged 15.0 points and 8.7 rebounds per game for the Zips. She was a third-team All-Mid-American Conference selection and led Akron with 14 double-doubles.

Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
First responders are in danger when they perform tasks in damaged buildings after earthquakes. Structural collapse due to the failure of critical load bearing structural members (e.g. columns) during a post-earthquake event such as an aftershock can make first responders victims, considering they are unable to assess the impact of the damage inflicted in load bearing members. The writers here propose a method that can provide first responders with a crude but quick estimate of the damage inflicted in load bearing members. Under the proposed method, critical structural members (reinforced concrete columns in this study) are identified from digital visual data and the damage superimposed on these structural members is detected with the help of Visual Pattern Recognition techniques. The correlation of the two (e.g. the position, orientation and size of a crack on the surface of a column) is used to query a case-based reasoning knowledge base, which contains apriori classified states of columns according to the damage inflicted on them. When query results indicate the column's damage state is severe, the method assumes that a structural collapse is likely and first responders are warned to evacuate.

This office building is characterised by its glass walls. Also the inside walls between the offices and the hallways are mostly made out of glass. To protect the interior from overheating from the sun due to the glass walls, there are wooden shutters placed on the outside of the building. Between the front wall and the shutters, there are balconies for the window washers. The cafeteria is placed on the left side of the building, straight true the shutters. The little house on the front side, is the entrance of the office building. Because of the smart design of the building, its easily to expand on the backside. The building is also very green, because of the ventilation system and the heat recovery system. Also, the lights can stay off during the day, because of the glass walls.

MLB players react to Aurora, Colorado shootings
Investigators examine the scene of the Aurora, Colorado shootings. (Getty Images) |
As you have no doubt learned by now, a gunman walked into an Aurora, Colorado movie theater on Thursday night and began shooting as many innocents as he could. At last count, 12 are dead and many, many more wounded.
Among the murdered is Jessica Gwahi, a sports journalist who seemed bound for great things.
As news of the tragedy spread, many major-league players took to Twitter to offer up whatever words they could. Here are the first thoughts of Rockies' outfielder Dexter Fowler:
I am appalled, devastated, & disgusted about what happened in Aurora's theatre shooting. What has the world come to :(#Pray
— Dexter Fowler (@DFowler24) July 20, 2012
What can you really say, though? An act of evil and cowardice has taken at least a dozen lives and ruined countless others. It's senseless beyond our words and a grim reminder of the awful things of which people are capable.
So what do you wish for after something like this? You wish that it had never happened. Failing that, you wish that this diseased murderer, had he been determined to snuff out the living, could've summoned the decency to take his own life rather than cut down so many blameless strangers.
And then what?

Radical Mods/Hacks for Koss ESL
Since the KOSS "Model 2" ESL had some seemingly well made panels, I wondered if I could make them run full range electrostatic instead of only up to the 2.5khz limit on the factory originals.
I found the HF E/S modules were a four-layer sandwich using dual-polar HV biasing. This limited HF response to about 4khz tops (were they trying to make a high powered E/S panel ?) By separating the diaphragm/stator layers (by removing external binding silk packaging tape, I came up with six individual panels). These six panels, running single diaphragm would perform full range I discovered with no high frequency loss (no need for dome tweeter in factory original). Run them in a surround system with a SW below 80hz. Tapered side baffles extend LF performance < 100hz |

I have never repaired, or built electrostatics, but have read a little here.
This looks like an interesting project From what you said no point in keeping these museum style, like I feel a Quad ESL 57 should be. I suggest you search this site, about using to modern power supply transformers, and see if options popular on this site such as 8V/240V step up transformers are as good as people say. Could you measure the turns ratio on driving transformer? Hoping you can make a Hifi dream on a budget. |

( a great source of panels & audio transformers that can sound good when liberated from Koss's disastrous over-engineering.) For power supply, I use a 5-inch TV w/ tube removed & resistor divider to obtain 2.5 KV from 5 KV. The resistive measurements of the Transformers in Koss are on the schematic in other thread |

Looks like a fun project. The factory original dome tweeter was likely to provide wide angle coverage of some top end as your panels will be very directional. That is an interesting idea to make the speaker have a wider angle of dispersion at high frequencies. Personally I prefer a more directional speaker. Hope you have good success with the project. Best regards Moray James.

"Should I save or savor the world?"
If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve (or save) the world and a desire to enjoy (or savor) the world.

Brent; You are probably going to have to use a Ford A or T bed unless you luck up on a Dodge bed. Lots of the Ford sheetmetal dealers sell beds.If you still have trouble locating what you are looking for--you could build your own.If you still need more info PM me & I'll help you find something or info on building your own.Good Luck--DAVE--I reread your post--Are you looking for a TRUCK bed or a TRUNK turtle deck? The trunk turtle deck can be purchased from--(http://www.rootlieb.com)
Last edited by kdc49; 04-08-2006 at 11:45 PM. |
Dave-Thanks alot for your reply. I don't care if it is a Dodge or Ford bed. This is the first older style rod that I have built and I am just looking for an all metal truck bed or turtle shell for the back end that will mount up flush / attach to my Dodge body and not look retarded on my frame.
I would really prefer a truck bed over a turtle shell back but would take the latter if I can not find a trunk bed. I can guarantee that I am not skilled enough to build my own steel trunk bed. I am a wrench monkey. Body work is latin to me. Thanks for your post Dave, and any additional information that you can provide to me on a Ford sheet metal dealer I would appreciate it. I may PM you, because at this point I am LOST and desperate! Thanks again. Brent |
Brent; If you want original parts try (http://www.classiccarpartsfinder.com/parts_search.htm) They are probably costly,just a matter of what you want. Don't know a lot about these guys but they list Dodge bed parts,their site is under reconstruction but their # is (507)831-5625 (www.horkeyswoodandparts.com) If this don't get you where you want to be PM me & I'll help you find something else--I know I hate to be looking for something & know it's out there, but can't find it.
Dave- Thanks. I will try those sites as well. The truck bed or turtle shell DO NOT have to be original. They just have to be metal. If I can not find either of them with the information that you have provided to me, I will message you. Thanks again.

University Of Homer Simpson
(I'm 19 and a customer in his mid-twenties comes up to me with a 6-pack of beer and some beef jerky.)
Me: "I'm sorry, sir, since I'm underage I can't sell you this beer. Would you mind waiting for my coworker?"
Customer: "Oh, sure no problem. Can I ask you a question?"
Me: "Sure."
Customer: "You're of Indian descent, right?"
Me: "That's right, sir."
Customer: "But you were born here in America, right?"

7 Months Old!
Today Leyton is 7 months old. I was hoping we would get a picture showing that he is sitting up on his own now and I couldn't be happier how things came out. I take a bunch of photos of him in the chair, but I do not mess with him or move him at all....I just let him do what he wants. Luckily he is a total camera ham so as soon as he sees the first flickers of the flash he is posing like a supermodel. I think it looks like he has slimmed out some, but it could be the way he is sitting. This past month though he has shifted to more solid foods and the bottles have cut back some. He's still my little chunker though!

I know that these are the expensive seats, just as well to as being in audio does not make you rich... :-) Quote:
Honestly, having heard on more occasions than I care to admit, the Bose 901 does this job EVEN BETTER than supposed "True Omni's". They produce even more diffuse, spacious, reverby sounds than Omni's. If you don't believe me, try it! Honestly, it is quite trivial to attain such a soundscape presentation. It was all done in the 60's and 70's. No real improvements in that department since. The Grundig Audiorama and Bose 901 had it all well sorted by then... BTW, for those who do not remember the Audiorama's: Well, at least now we REALLY know why Logan was running. He was running away from ill focused, diffuse and boring Omni Sound... :-P Ciao T Last edited by ThorstenL; 31st March 2010 at 05:21 PM. |

Single Driver speakers however do show pretty poor pair matching, so you may not want to try this test, you may be disappointed. The ones we test have a magnetostat HF Device is a Horn (nee. Waveguide) with a 10" LF Cone Driver and a 10th order crossover (passive) at a fairly low frequency. If the drivers match to better than 0.5dB and the crossovers match too (at this rate of slope even small tolerances have big effects - so we pair not just drivers but also crossovers) the resulting null in this test is majorly impressive. I once had a pair running in at a gentleman's home in a large high rise building with at best okay sound isolation. The speakers where run with the matching amp near clipping (this would be 110dB peaks @ 1m - per speaker) for a week day and night and with only a thick blanket to muffle the remainder a little more. No neighbours complained about the noise and the one asked could not hear it! It was practically inaudible outside the flat door, the flat being in Hong Kong was on the small side and the walls not thick, even by London/Britain standards... Ciao T |

"Yes, classical "omni" presentation. The room is filled with sound, it is pleasantly spacious but it is INSIDE THE ROOM and it has non of the spacial and directional characteristics of the original recording." etc. Nice interpretation Thorsten ... IMO you are damned close to reality. BTW i sometimes thought about building a Bose 901 clone for fun. But i had always projects in mind which seemed to be more reasonable to me. I think this article tries to explain some effects involved without judging or hyping it too much. http://www.stereophile.com/standloudspeakers/425/# AFAIK the Audiorama is back in store again ... they produce a new series. I do not know whether the technical design changed much. Last edited by LineArray; 31st March 2010 at 05:42 PM. |

I lived until 94 in Germany, until early 89 in the wrong halve though. Quote:
They where sold on very quickly, as I could not stand listening to them, even used the wrong way around... :-) I concluded then and there that Amar B*se was descended from indian fakirs (or is that fakers). So I put the decidedly more homely Schulze TH315 based coaxial speaker system (with shortened stand) back. Later I replaced that with my own column design using a pair of 20cm woofers under active control (microphone - ala B&M), a 12cm Schulze wideband driver and the typical east german plastic dome, soon replaced by a Motorola "lemonsqueezer" piezo tweeter. I kept the TH315 together with a pair quite "fatherless ones" Klipsch Cornwall semi-clones using all EV Drivers/Horns in my bedroom as monitors for mixing down stuff. Never had Audiorama's though, but heard them much later in 2nd hand stores. At the time I used JBL Control 1's, even against such low competition they did not impress. Looked pretty cool though, in a 70's & Lavalamp kind of way. Quote:
Oh well, did I not hear about a Movie remake of Logans Run as well? Seems the music playback industry matches the music producing industry - if you cannot innovate, just rip off the last three deacdes and make it a certain hit: No wonder the kids are GaGa for Lady GaGa... Ciao T |

Funny, my present experimental OB-OMNIs are apparently different than the rest....very focused and precise
But admittedly, I didnt expect that either, and its a big surprice And driver are placed on the floor, which is even worse I cannot work, but it does A great number of speakers are poor designs, and so probably also most omnis

one interpretation or another, my interpretation of this Olsher's review is filtered by my experience with the flooders of course and I don't hear any of the following: not true WRT the flooders, I can hear things happening far beyond walls Quote:
and actually I have interesting test CD with tracks with different sections of an orchestra playing, everything is exactly in place and "reach out and touch" Quote:
perhaps it is indeed that the flooders differ significantly from typical omni actually El'Ol insists that I shouldn't call them omni, perhaps I really shouldn't Quote:
well, that is not what You get from the flooders! and yes indeed - If you don't believe me, try it! actually this is exactly what I tell everyone from the beginning of this thread best! graaf

Much depends on other factors. I once heard the same system to most intents (speakers where inndersound eros - aka KFC Speakers and an experimental amp plus dCs digital frontend) in two setups. One was in a very long room, with heavy curtains at the end opposite of the listener, with the (dipole) speakers halve down the long dimension of the room room and the listening position at one of the narrow walls, IIRC heavy wall hanging carpet behind listening position and quite plush and absorbent sofa (a bit too victorian for my taste). This kind of long, narrow living room is quite common in southern england BTW, it is the result of the terraced houses and knocking together the two small rooms previously serving respectively as parlour and as dining room. I heard basically the same system a few weeks later in a similar size and shape room, this time placed very near one of the long walls with no intentional or incidental room treatment and the listening position opposite. Predictably both systems sounded dramatically different. The first was quite stunning, with a "the walls are gone" feel, the second sounded a bloody awful mess, with not even tonality right, never mind anything else, claustrophobic, brrrrrrr. So, in the end how you use it matters a lot as well. Me being kind of "1970's modern" inclined with my choice of living spaces (pretty bare, large if possible, white in both colour and acoustics) need quite well focused speakers to avoid drowning in reverb sauce. Put omni's in my rooms and even you run out like Logan. Ciao T |

Who later designed a range of speakers with upwards pointing woofers and forward pointing tweeters. Just BTB. If you use the ceiling as the first reflection with a fllor that is heavily carpeted and hence quite absorbent this may work to a reasonable degree, I can see issues with tonal balance though. If this implemented with drivers having a frequency response that is boosted at high frequencies and narrows at frequencies it may kind of work. Where I tried the Carllson Sonab's the floor and ceiling where acoustically highly reflective. As is the case with my current living room. I rather doubt that under those kind of conditions you would like your flooders, if you do, maybe I see pair of 901's or Audiorama's in your future? :-P Ciao T |

Forcing someone to comply with a set of rules or they will not get grant money is nothing more than bribery and possibly extortion.
By ANDREW BROWN
COLUMBIA - Changes to Missouri's sex offender registry law could cost the state hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal funding.
According to the Department of Justice, Missouri could lose 10 percent of its federal funding under the Justice Assistance Grant Program if the General Assembly passes House Bill 301.
The bill, which was sponsored by Rep. Kevin Engler, R.-Ste. Genevieve, would remove the names of juvenile sex offenders from the public website and allow qualifying offenders to have their names deleted from the registry. Gov. Jay Nixon has vetoed the bill, saying that it poses a public safety risk because it doesn't differentiate between violent and nonviolent offenders.
House Speaker Tim Jones, R-Eureka, has said that he and his colleagues will attempt to override the governor's veto when legislators reconvene in September.
Nixon's press secretary declined to comment on the possible loss of federal funding, and Engler also declined to comment. Jones did not respond to multiple requests for an interview.
If the governor's veto is overridden, Missouri's sex offender registry law could violate the federal Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA), which established national standards for states' sex offender registries.
Among the requirements of the federal law, passed in 2006, is that states include the names of all sex offenders age 14 and up or suffer a 10 percent cut to their Justice Assistance Grant. That program allocates money to state and local law enforcement agencies. Missouri is one of 16 states that complies with the law.
If Missouri is found to be in violation of the law, the Missouri Department of Public Safety could lose 10 percent of its total funding. With 2013 as a benchmark, that would be more than $400,000. This year, Missouri received $4.4 million in funding that could be affected by the 10 percent cut. That money was put toward drug and gang task forces, crime prevention programs, drug treatment, technology upgrades and witness protection, according to the department's website (PDF).
The amount of money received under the grant program varies annually because it's calculated according to a formula of crime statistics gathered by the Department of Justice. But on average, Missouri has received more than $5 million annually over the past nine years.
Scott Matson, a senior policy adviser for the Department of Justice's Office of Sex Offender Sentencing, Monitoring, Apprehending, Registering and Tracking (SMART), said the Justice Department would determine whether to revoke Missouri's funding after the bill has been finalized.
"If the bill removes juveniles from the registration process,then it is a serious likelihood," Matson said.
Rep. Dave Hinson, R.-St. Clair, who voted for the bill in May, said he was not going to let the loss of federal funds sway his vote and that any loss in federal funding would be made up by the state.
"I think this is good policy over what the federal policy does," he said. "That is why only 16 states are compliant with the law."

Isn't it interesting how the federal money gained by violating the constitutional rights of former juvenile offenders is used to fight drugs and gangs. Golly gee, if the registrants are SO dangerous, wouldn't they be using that money to protect the public from them??? What a total and complete SCAM!!!!!

They might be called a smart homes, but some of them have some very dumb vulnerabilities. In fact, some of the houses made smart by a company called Insteon were insecure enough that a Forbes reporter could hack them from the comfort of her living room. Advertisement Thanks to a glaring Insteon vulnerability, Forbes reporter Kashmir Hill she was able to access the houses of complete strangers. From San Francisco, she turned the lights of complete strangers' houses in Oregon and Connecticut on and off, identified their homes' physical locations, and could have done much worse:Googling a very simple phrase led me to a list of "smart homes" that had done something rather stupid. The homes all have an automation system from Insteon that allows remote control of their lights, hot tubs, fans, televisions, water pumps, garage doors, cameras, and other devices, so that their owners can turn these things on and off with a smartphone app or via the Web. The dumb thing? Their systems had been made crawl-able by search engines – meaning they show up in search results — and due to Insteon not requiring user names and passwords by default in a now-discontinued product, I was able to click on the links, giving me the ability to turn these people's homes into haunted houses, energy-consumption nightmares, or even robbery targets. Opening a garage door could make a house ripe for actual physical intrusion.Hill said she could find tons of sensitive information from eight different houses, including but not limited to IP address, children's names, and even real-world locations. Yes, many systems are protected by password and username, but there's no authentication beyond that. Advertisement In this case, Forbes is just talking specifically about Insteon, which is (hopefully) unique in the depth and breadth of its vulnerability. But if the connected home is going to be less of a trend and more of the norm, the companies that handle these systems need to take a cue and lock things down. It's an alarming report, and you should head over to head over to Forbes to read the entire. [Forbes]Image credit: Shutterstock/Konstantin LReply38 repliesLeave a reply

Dancing With The Stars Preview – Final 7 Perform Tonight (April 25, 2011)
Dancing With The Stars week 6 airs tonight (April 25, 2011) on ABC at 8|7c on ABC.
Tonight, week 6 of Dancing with the Stars brings us "Guilty Pleasures" week. Do you think Mike Catherwood, Wendy Williams, Sugar Ray Leonard, and Petra Nemcova are sorry they got kicked off? LOL. Well maybe just Mike, Sugar Ray and Petra are happy they don't have to dance this week to this silly theme.
The DWTS 2011 couples will perform to a song that they would normally not admit to liking. Who is left? The Karate Kid (Ralph Macchio), the Disney actor (Chelsea Kane), the "girl next door," (Kendra) a rapper (Romeo), a wrestler (Chris Jericho), a future Football Hall of Famer (Hines Ward), and a professional dieter (Kirstie Alley)!
Also look for performances from Pia Toscano this week on Dancing With The Stars. Also known as Mark Ballas's girlfriend and American Idol reject. Toscano was recently eliminated from the Fox reality show, American Idol. There has been talk that she will dance with boyfriend Mark Ballas during her performance as well! Hmmm, do you think they will pick her up for next season? Or will Pia be too busy making music.
Speaking of guilty pleasures, I think I'm tuning in to Dancing With The Stars tonight just to see Kirstie Alley's costumes. Last week's was awful; so unflattering. Even her partner Maksim couldn't even pull attention away from her by taking his shirt off! The costume designers on the show are much more talented than what they produced for her last week. Hopefully we see an improvement this week.

Owls. Little and adorable, I saw the first one last week when an evening bike ride brought me home later than I wanted. I thought the little lump in the yard was a rabbit or another chunk of bark our old maples shed each year. But it turned its little head to look at me, and I went to get Chris to see the small owl peer at us – well, owlishly.
A couple of nights later, we saw one on a wire between the street and our neighbor's house. A look at Peterson's only helped a little – Saw-Whet, I decided. I fired off a question to Richard Guthrie, who does the TU's birding blog. Screech owl is his guess, barring a picture; Saw-whet maybe in the winter.
So on a quiet Friday night, we lay in wait, and sure enough, just past the gloaming, Chris heard the noise the owl on the wire had made. I headed toward the birch tree, and down swooped a little owl. He swooped and moved every time we approached, delighting neighbors gathered in their backyard. When it got out of sight, we headed back to our deck – and watched another one move out of the birch to another neighbor's yard.
The problem with identification is it's too dark to see them clearly, even with binoculars. It answered the sound of a screech owl coming from our computer — a little too intently and from too close! No interest in the saw-whet sound.
So if you're a birder or a Delmartian with owls – let me know what you think it is.

it is most likely a screech owl they are around town, lucky you!
a few summers ago i had a mother and her babies / screech owls in my backyard. it was surely the result of a recent tearing down of woods and some pretty gigantic trees on a parcel nearby so that a house could be built. my guess was that their nest had been destroyed by bulldozers and they were relocating rather frantically. they are beautiful. it was an honor to get a few glimpses of them over a two day period before they moved on to safer ground i hope.
Oooh! Owls! How cool. I want one! You're fortunate to have them near you.
Would love it if they migrated up to Clarksville for a visit. Though we have definitely seen an increase in night flyin' visitors – The bat population seems to be on an upswing this summer. Nice that the white nose virus didn't kill them all off.

Colletes succinctus (Linnaeus,1758)
Apis fuliginosa SCOPOLI 1770; Apis invictus HARRIS 1776; Apis glutinans CUVIER 1798; Apis calendarum PANZER 1806; Colletes balteatus NYLANDER 1852; Colletes kervillei PÉREZ 1908; Andrena xanthothorax EVERSMANN 1852
Description and notes
Pre 1980 | 1980-99 | 2000 and later |
The following datasets are included:
- Bees, Wasps and Ants Recording Society - Bees, Wasps and Ants Recording Society - Trial Dataset
Widely distributed throughout Britain, occurring as far north as Sutherland, the Outer Hebrides (Barra and South Uist) and Orkney (Hoy). Known too from the Isles of Scilly, Lundy, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands (Alderney, Guernsey and Jersey). Widespread in southern Ireland. This species is found throughout much of Europe and north Africa, and in Asia, from Iran to Tibet.
Status (in Britain only)
This species is not regarded as being scarce or threatened in Britain.
Mainly dry heaths and moorland. The species is also known from a number of coastal and other inland sites, both in Britain and Ireland, from which the main pollen sources (see below) are apparently absent. Unlike many bees, this species has been seen flying actively in dull, overcast conditions and even in a heavy shower (G R Else, pers. obs.).
Flight period
Univoltine; from mid-July to late September.
Nesting biology
In southern Britain this species generally seems to nest singly or in small aggregations. However, in northern England and Scotland, large, compact nesting aggregations are more frequently encountered. Some of these are huge. For example, in North Yorkshire, one containing 60-80,000 nests occurred along a 100 m length of river bank (see photograph in O 'Toole & Raw (1991)). Nest architecture has been illustrated by O'Toole (1986). Winter can be passed in any of the early stages (egg to pupa), though more usually as a prepupa in diapause (C. O'Toole, pers. comm.).
Flowers visited
In common with females, males visit heather and heaths. The bee also flies to melilot (Melilotus sp.), yarrow (Achillea millefolia) (S Roberts, pers. obs.) and creeping thistle (Cirsium arvense).
The anthophorine bee Epeolus cruciger is a well-known cleptoparasite of C. succinctus in southern Britain. The bee-fly Bombylius minor has been seen to oviposit in burrows (Payne, 1974; M. Edwards, pers. comm.), and adults have been reared from cells of C. succinctus (I R Hudson, pers. comm.). M Edwards (pers. comm.) has also seen B. minor emerging from some burrows.

MayaWorks has funded three new microcredit projects in the mountain hamlet of Xetonox, near Tecpán, Guatemala. Xetonox is known for its fertile volcanic soil which is why most of the projects we fund in this region are for planting crops.
Our long-time artisan partners, Vicenta, Marta and Santos, each received $500 to plant vegetables. Vicenta and Marta, veteran gardners, have used their microcredit loan to plant green beans while their neighbor, Santos, has planted peas and broccoli.
For the next three months the women will care for their plants by watering, fertilizing, and thinning them until they are ready to be harvested. Once harvested, the women will sell their crops to buyers who will export them largely to the United States.
MayaWorks has found that planting and selling crops are lucrative income generating projects but they are also subject to high risk because their success is directly tied to weather. The rainy season has been very heavy in Guatemala so far this year. We are keeping our fingers crossed that these new projects will be successful for Vicenta, Marta and Santos!
Project Reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.

Review: LG Spectrum for Verizon Wireless
The Spectrum has plenty of applications installed out of the box. It includes the typical Verizon-branded stuff, as well as a few other odds and ends. I was able to delete most of the apps I didn't want, but a few were un-deletable, such as NetFlix, Verizon Score Center, Polaris Office. You know the drill with the Android Market. It's there. It has apps. You can download them.
BluetoothBluetooth worked without issue on the Spectrum. Pairing with mono and stereo headsets, as well as PCs and other phones, was a snap. Sound quality was pretty freaking bad, though. Pumped through my car's speakers, voice calls were flat-out painful. Music sounded terrible through stereo Bluetooth speakers.
ClockThe Spectrum offers the same lock screen clock that most Android phones do. When initially woken from sleep, it shows the time in a larger, digital read out. The time can be gleaned with but a glance. Sadly, LG didn't do anything to customize the lock screen. The Spectrum also has the typical Android alarm/clock app.
AD article continues below...
Google Maps and TeleNav Navigator (masquerading under the name "Verizon Navigator") are both installed on the Spectrum. Google Maps is free and Verizon Navigator costs $10 per month to use. Both apps do a fine job of providing directions to and from destinations.

China's Stocks Fall, Capping Steepest Weekly Loss in Month
Bloomberg NewsChinese stocks posted their steepest weekly loss in a month, as slowing growth in home prices dragged down smaller real-estate companies and China Merchants Property Development Co. reported a drop in profit.
China Merchants Property fell 1.1 percent to a one-month low. China Fortune Land Development Co. and Jinke Properties Group Co. paced losses for developers after official data showed home prices from the first-tier cities to those less affluent all weakened in March. ZTE Corp., China's second-biggest phone-equipment maker, advanced 0.8 percent after first-quarter earnings more than tripled.
"Developers' earnings will be under great pressure because of rising inventories in some cities," said Wei Wei, an analyst at West China Securities Co. in Shanghai. "Stocks will continue to consolidate around this level."
The Shanghai Composite Index dropped 0.1 percent to 2,097.75 at the close. Trading volumes were 19 percent below the 30-day average today, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Equity markets including the U.S., Hong Kong and Singapore are closed for a holiday.
The CSI 300 Index slipped less than 0.1 percent to 2,224.48 today, while the Bloomberg China-US 55 Index added 0.7 percent in New York yesterday.
The Shanghai measure slid 1.5 percent this week after official data showed growth in gross domestic product slowed to 7.4 percent in the first quarter from 7.7 percent in the previous period, compared with a 7.5 percent annual target. Industrial production in March and fixed-asset investment for the first three months of the year trailed estimates.
'Not Easy'
Premier Li Keqiang said China's first-quarter economic growth is in a reasonable range during a meeting with News Corp. Chief Executive Officer Robert Thomson yesterday in Beijing, China National Radio reported. It is "not easy" for China to keep economic growth of about 7.5 percent, Li said.
The Shanghai index is valued at 7.7 times 12-month projected earnings, compared with the five-year average multiple of 12, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
China's new-home price increases eased across the country last month amid tighter credit that prompted developers to give discounts. Prices in Beijing rose 10 percent from a year earlier, the slowest since April last year, while those in Shanghai added 13 percent, the smallest since June, according to data from the National Bureau of Statistics. In smaller cities such as Wenzhou, prices fell 3.9 percent.
China Fortune Land declined 3.5 percent. Jinke Properties retreated 1.3 percent. Merchants Property lost 1.1 percent after net income dropped 6.8 percent in the first quarter.
Developers including Agile Property Holdings Ltd. and Wharf Holdings Ltd. cut home prices in some eastern Chinese cities this year as market sentiment weakened on tight liquidity. China's broadest measure of new credit fell 19 percent in March from a year earlier and money supply grew at the slowest pace on record, central bank data showed this week.
ZTE added 0.8 percent. First-quarter earnings jumped to 622 million yuan ($100 million), the company said.

The unbalanced Ururguay Round outcome : the new areas in future WTO negotiations
The Uruguay Round involved a grand North-South bargain: The North reduced import barriers, particularly in textiles and agriculture. The South adopted new domestic regulations in such areas as services and intellectual property-changes that would lead to increased purchases from the North. In mercantilist economics, apples for apples-imports for imports. In real economics, apples for oranges. The authors argue that while the North's reduction of import barriers benefits both the North and the South, the new domestic regulations adopted by countries of the South could prove costly to those countries. To begin with, the regulations will be expensive to implement. And while the cost side of their impact is secured by a legal obligation (in the case of intellectual property rights, for example, the cost is higher prices for patented goods), the benefits side is not so secured.

Supplied software
The DMC-GF1 is supplied with a Software CD containing:
- PHOTOfunStudio Viewer 3.1 HD Edition (Windows) - A photo browser / editor with some basic workflow functionality (also includes a tray icon automatic import tool). While PHOTOfunStudio Viewer was able to view GF1 RAW files it couldn't convert them to JPEG and wasn't able to display all exposure information (clearly didn't fully support the GF1). This latest version of the software also offers some HD video editing.
- SilkyPix Developer Studio 3.0 SE (Windows / Mac OS X) - SilkyPix is a RAW conversion application developed by Ichikawa Soft Laboratory which is probably better known in Japan. SilkyPix provides a wide range of advanced RAW conversion options including adjustable noise reduction, lens aberration correction and rotation / perspective correction.
As with other Lumix models the GF1 ships with a special (fully featured) edition of SILKYPIX, a rather quirky, though surprisingly well-featured, raw development application for Windows and Mac. The (on-screen) manual is very comprehensive, but doesn't really explain the features very well, and first-time users may find themselves overwhelmed by the sheer volume of options on offer. This isn't helped by the slightly dodgy translations and the plethora of sliders with names that don't really indicate what they actually do. But there is lots here to get stuck into, and the default settings produce perfectly acceptable results.
But after some experimentation and adapting you'll discover that the SILKYPIX can produce far superior results - and can be fine-tuned to produce output that suits your own needs / tastes. In fact there's easily as much tweaking on offer than you get with Adobe Camera Raw, and compared to what you get with most cameras it's hard to complain.
You can save parameter sets (for some reason you put them in the 'cloakroom', but hey ho) once you've found out what works for you, which combined with batch processing and extensive output options (TIFF or JPEG), takes some of the grind out of the business of developing large numbers of raw files.
RAW conversion
As is normal in our digital SLR reviews we like to compare the supplied RAW conversion software, any optional manufacturer RAW conversion software and some third party RAW converter. In the case of the Panasonic GF1 we used the supplied SilkyPix Developer Studi0 3.0 as well as Adobe Camera RAW 5.5. We've also included examples developed using DCRaw (via Graphic Converter on the Mac) for the sharpness detail section.
- JPEG - Large/Fine, Default settings
- SPDS - SilkyPix Developer Studio 3.0
- ACR - Adobe Camera RAW 5.5
- DCR - Graphic Converter v6.4 using DCRaw 8.93
Color reproduction
Place your mouse over the label below the image to see the color from a GretagMacbeth ColorChecker chart produced using each RAW converter. Typically we are used to seeing almost no difference between in-camera JPEG and the supplied RAW converter as it is normally intended to exactly duplicate the color response of the camera. However the SilkyPix software was not developed by Panasonic and clearly has a completely different color map, this means that RAW images converted through SilkyPix will immediately have a different 'look' to them than the out-of-camera JPEGs. Interestingly ACR's output is much closer.
Panasonic DMC-GF1 | Compare to: |
Standard | Dynamic | Nature | Smooth |
Nostalgic | Vibrant | B&W Dynamic | B&W Smooth |
B&W Standard | adobeRGB |
Sharpness and Detail
Two things you can immediately see from looking at these images; at the default settings Silkypix actually produces fractionally less detailed color output than the camera's own JPEG engine (this is undoubtedly down to a combination of sharpening and noise reduction), and if you want the maximum resolution, use Adobe Camera Raw. From a color point of view there's not a huge difference (and of course with the raw files you can tweak to your heart's content anyway).
SILKYPIX RAW ->JPEG (Default settings) ISO 100 studio scene 100% crop |
Adobe ACR 5.5 RAW ->JPEG (Default settings) ISO 100 studio scene 100% crop |
DCR RAW ->JPEG (Default settings) ISO 100 studio scene 100% crop |
JPEG out of camera, High quality setting (all settings default) ISO 100 studio scene 100% crop |
These crops demonstrate that there is some more high contrast detail available raw files than can be obtained from JPEG. Although a lot of this detail could be described as 'false' (produced beyond Nyquist), generally speaking this is still useful as it improves the appearance of 'texture'. ACR and DCRaw squeeze a tiny bit more out of the RAW file than SilkyPix but all three converters show some artefacting and some moiré, something you don't see in the JPEGs (though these do look a little over-sharpened).
JPEG from camera | SilkyPix Developer Studio (RAW) |
Adobe Camera RAW 5.5 (RAW) | DCRaw (RAW) |
Real word advantages
Although the GF1's out of camera JPEGs are pretty good - certainly good enough for use at normal viewing magnifications (on screen or in modest prints). Switching to raw and converting using Adobe Camera Raw (ACR), however, brings real benefits in areas where fine texture (captured by the sensor thanks to its light AA filter) is lost in the JPEG processing - especially for larger prints or when cropping. From foliage to feathers and fur, ACR converted raw files are crisper and more detailed, and because they can be sharpened with a smaller radius, they look cleaner when viewed up close too.
Even if you don't care about the pixel-level quality, the ability to non-destructively fine tune white balance and color (neither of which the GF1 excels at) make shooting raw a sensible option for the serious photographer.

Even though they were a no-show at the "The Hills" celebration at PaleyFest 09 in Hollywood on Tuesday, Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag's upcoming nuptials were still the topic of the night.
The Speidi wedding extravaganza is, in fact, being filmed for the 5th season finale of the MTV docu-drama. Creator and executive producer Adam Devillo coyly talked about the big event. "We are shooting a big giant event… with a white dress," he said. "Cameras will be present."
When asked who was going to this weekend's wedding, Brody Jenner, Lo Bosworth, and Stephanie Pratt all raised their hands. But don't put too much stock in that. This show is known for its surprises!
Maybe we'll even get a cameo by Heidi's ex-BFF Lauren Conrad. She claims she isn't going to the event, but we don't buy it. She is after all leaving the show after this season– so she may as well go out with a bang! Guess we'll just have to watch and see.

Cranium's Pop 5 Live on MSN Games First-Ever to Put Players in the Game
Player Videos Create Hilarious New Twist on Pop Culture and Casual Online
Sep 12, 2006, 01:00 ET from Cranium, Inc.
SEATTLE, Sept. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- If they post it, they will play -- or act, hum, sculpt, hint and draw. Cranium, Inc. today announced Pop 5 Live, the first-ever player-fueled online game offered exclusively by MSN(R) Games (www.games.msn.com). Pop 5 Live, the online version of the new pop culture party game Cranium(R) Pop 5(TM), lets players take a chance by submitting videos of themselves acting out Pop 5 clues, and make a choice: Who will be THE Pop 5 Pop Star? It's simple. Performers upload videos of themselves acting, humming, sculpting, hinting or drawing out Pop 5 pop culture clues -- like mullets, Madonna and Monday Night Football. The footage is used in Pop 5 Live on MSN Games where players watch videos from other players, vote on performances and guess clues to win prizes, including the chance to score $50,000 cash. "Pop 5 Live changes the rules for the way people experience party games," said Cranium Grand Poo Bah and co-founder Richard Tait. "It takes Pop 5 out of the living room and puts it into the virtual community, giving our more than 400,000 Craniacs and MSN Games' 13 million monthly players the power to perform and connect in a celebration of pop culture. It gets players laughing, sharing and reveling in their chance to shine the way that only a Cranium experience can." By launching with MSN Games, Cranium continues to go where its customers are, not just where games are sold. According to The NPD Group, women make nearly 60 percent of today's board game purchases, and based on a recent study from the Consumer Electronics Association, 65 percent of the gamers between the ages of 25 and 34 playing quick, easy-to-learn "casual" games are women. As a result, Pop 5 Live on MSN Games, combined with the current prevalence of sites like YouTube.com, "gets the right people playing at the right time, just as the original Cranium did at Starbucks," said Tait.

Move the rc.d scripts of the form *.sh.in to *.in Where necessary add $FreeBSD$ to the file No PORTREVISION bump necessary because this is a no-op
In the rc.d scripts, change assignments to rcvar to use the literal name_enable wherever possible, and ${name}_enable when it's not, to prepare for the demise of set_rcvar(). In cases where I had to hand-edit unusual instances also modify formatting slightly to be more uniform (and in some cases, correct). This includes adding some $FreeBSD$ tags, and most importantly moving rcvar= to right after name= so it's clear that one is derived from the other.
Begin the process of deprecating sysutils/rc_subr by s#. %%RC_SUBR%%#. /etc/rc.subr#
- Improve buffer management. This change should fix issues on amd64. - Fix daemonizing part. It now returns the exit status correctly. - Fix *_{pre,post}cmd handling in the rc.d scripts. Plus, wnntouch is now invoked just before running the server process. - Use ${*_WNNMANDIR} in Makefile to use the common patchset in both FreeWnn-server and -lib. - Integrate libtool22 change and regenerate patch files.
- Add "listenaddr 127.0.0.1" to {c|t|k}serverc. - Update startup scripts. - Simplify the pkg-install script.
