Penn State trustees approve changes
STATE COLLEGE — Penn State trustees approved reforms to university governance on Friday and learned that two incumbents on the university's governing board were voted out by alumni in a contentious election.
Incumbent Paul Suhey finished fourth, one spot out of returning to the board. Board vice chair Stephanie Deviney also was rejected by alumni to return to a board that has been scrutinized since the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal began.
Winning election were Barbara Doran, William Oldsey and Ted Brown, all endorsed by an alumni group critical of university leadership.
The newly elected trustees watched from the audience while the current board approved governance changes including reducing the size of the board by two to 30 by taking away the voting power of Pennsylvania's governor and the university president.
The proposals had been studied for months. Other recommendations approved include changing the requirement for quorum from a majority of members to 13 and implementing a five-year waiting period before commonwealth row officers can become trustees.
Another change would cut the time required for notice before the board meets from 10 days to three.
Penn State officials called the changes significant. The measures were approved after months of deliberations, initiated after former FBI director Louis Freeh offered 119 recommendations last July to improve the university as part of his investigation into the scandal for Penn State.
"In one fell swoop, it's probably the biggest change to the bylaws that we've made in 100 years," said trustee Joel Myers. "Many institutions don't make this change at all, certainly over decades."
Alumni, the university faculty senate and the auditor general's office also had weighed in with recommendations.
In a statement, Auditor General Eugene DePasquale said he was encouraged by the changes toward greater transparency. But, he said, there was more work to do to regain "the confidence of the public and the university community," including expanding the Right-to-Know law to the university.
Leaders have vowed the study of governance changes would not end.
"I can assure that (trustees) will continue to address these items," trustees chair Keith Masser said.
Anthony Lubrano was the only trustee to vote against the measures. He said his main concerns were the size of the board and the size and influence of the six-member constituency of business trustees.
"We just took baby steps today," he said. "I think we have a lot of work to do."
A group of about 50 alumni in attendance, including former Pittsburgh Steelers and Penn State running back Franco Harris, remained skeptical.
During a public comment period, speaker Robert Bannon questioned talk of a proposal on the board that critics said would limit public disagreement among trustees.
Later, Bannon said he supported most of the changes except for a clause that detailed how a trustee could be removed.
"This board of trustees continues to demonstrate its ineptitude," said Bannon, a student.
Harris drew applause after taking verbal jabs at trustees. He has been outspoken among alumni critics upset with the firing of Hall of Fame football coach Joe Paterno in November 2011 days after Sandusky, a former assistant coach, was arrested.
Trustees have said Paterno was ousted in part because he didn't meet a moral obligation to do more to alert authorities about allegations against Sandusky, a retired defensive coordinator. Paterno died in January 2012 at age 85. His family has vehemently denied any suggestion that he would cover up such allegations.
Sandusky was convicted in June of abusing several boys, some on Penn State's campus. He's serving a 30- to 60-year state prison sentence but maintains his innocence.
Freeh's scathing findings and the subsequent landmark NCAA sanctions against the university's football program remain other flashpoints for the irritated alumni and ex-players.
"Joe's love, honor and integrity will remain the spirit of this great institution," Harris said. "We understand you are trying to break us down ... but you must understand we will never give up."
Among those cheering on Harris were members of the vocal alumni group Penn Staters for Responsible Stewardship, which had waged an aggressive campaign for its endorsed candidates. Thirty-nine were on the ballot.
Suhey, a former football player, left quickly out a side door after the meeting. He and Deviney were on the board in November 2011.
Suhey's candidacy especially drew criticism from other former players, exposing a rift in the Penn State football family. He said in a statement that he was honored to have served the board for 15 years. He offered congratulations to the incoming members, who will take their seats in July.
The third seat up for election belonged to Steve Garban, who resigned last summer. Garban was board chairman in November 2011.
More than 33,000 ballots were cast in this year's election, down from the record 37,000 last year but still a much higher turnout than in elections before the scandal.
Doran was the top vote-getter with more than 15,000 votes, Oldsey was second with nearly 14,000 and Brown was third at more than 11,000.
Suhey was fourth with about 4,500 votes. Deviney finished with just more than 2,000 votes.
"Having three new reformist candidates come in sends a message very loud and clear to the board," Doran said.
Masser said he was looking forward to getting to know the new trustees and working with them.
Bank of New York Mellon President Karen Peetz was renominated for another three-year term as a business trustee. The business trustees are selected by board members.
Lawyer Richard Dandrea was approved to take the business trustee seat of U.S. Steel chairman John Surma, whose departure had been sought by critical alumni upset after he announced Paterno's firing at a hastily called news conference.

Great Smoky Mountains
National Park
North Carolina / Tennessee
A Wildlands Sanctuary
The Great Smoky Mountains, the majestic climax of the Appalachian Highlands are a wildlands sanctuary preserving the world's finest examples of temperate deciduous forest. The name Smoky comes from the smoke-like haze enveloping the mountains, which stretch in sweeping troughs and mighty billows to the horizon.
The park boasts unspoiled forests similar to those early pioneers found. Restored log cabins and barns stand as reminders of those who carved a living from this wilderness. Fertile soils and abundant rain have encouraged the development of a world-renowned variety of flora, including more than 1,500 kinds of flowering plants. In the coves, broadleaf trees predominate. Along the crestat more than 6,000 feet elevationare conifer forests like those of central Canada.
Wildflowers and migrating birds abound in late April and early May. During June and July rhododendrons bloom in spectacular profusion. Autumn's pageantry of color usually peaks in mid-October. For many, this is the finest time of year, with cool, clear days idea for hiking. In winter, an unpredictable season, a peace pervades the park. Fog rolling over the mountains may blanket the conifers in frost.
A scenic, high mountain road winds up through Newfoundland Gap, with a spur out to Clingmans Dome and its observation tower. Along the road are superb views, and those from the tower are truly panoramic. But roads offer only an introduction to the Smokies. Some 900 miles of trails thread the whole of the Smokies' natural fabricits waterfalls, coves, bards, and rushing streams. Each trail invites you into the intimacy and richness of these high lands. The Smokies, a wild landscape rich with traces of its human past, calls people back year after year.

For Sale: Tiny Box of fun - 4x4 mitsubishi / dodge
1987 Mitsubishi Montero / Dodge Raider Off Road Package
2.6 liter G54B engine (carbureted, factory spec, runs perfect)
5 speed 4x4 KM145
Solid Axle rear, leaf sprung
IFS front, torsion bar
A month ago I flew out to L.A. to buy a 95 Montero for another cross country road trip (last year I drove a 73 galant wagon) when I showed up the vehicle was not as described and had issues. I didnt approve of the vehicle and chose to shop around for a day or two, figured if I didnt find a gem, Id fly back after a couple of days of soaking up California sun.
After browsing craigslist and looking at a handful of monteros, all of which I passed on for one reason or another, I came across this little guy. Body is completely rust free, most bolts are still brass in color, vaccum lines are all in great shape, engine bay is clean enough to eat out of. The owner was very honest and up front with me about everything. The truck ran, idled and drove great. Its so rare to find these things in top notch running shape, usually people have tweaked the carb or removed or lost some vaccum lines and the truck will lose what balls it has, wont idle or wont stay running when cold.
This is not one of those trucks. It was well cared for, maintained, not abused and daily driven in a warm, dry climate. The most important part is this truck showed all the signs of a reliable engine to me, oil looked great, spark plugs looked perfect, no smoke, no noises, no issues, no leaks. Even the air conditioning works perfect, the previous owner reconditioned the AC and made sure it was working top notch for the warm summers near LA. I asked the owner what he thought about it being driven from LA to Indiana and he said I wouldnt hesitate to drive it anywhere
He was right. After a week of driving, off roading in the Mojave, Red Rock Canyon, Lake Mead, Arizona, covering somewhere near 3,000 miles, I was welcomed back to Indiana with some snow. After a couple weeks of making some changes to the truck and trying to figure out what to do with a truck I never intended to buy, Ive decided that its better I sell it than keep it.
If I keep the truck it would get the TBI set up from a conquest, conquest turbo and an intercooler, then it would get 33s and be another one of my unique and fun projects. Which I do not need right now, being that I already have 4 project cars.
Cliffnotes: bought the truck to get me home from California, has proven itself as reliable, I wont be able to leave well enough alone, I know and understand my turbo addiction, dont need the temptation sitting in my garage when I have two other monteros, two vintage Mitsubishis and two vintage motorcycles.

I probably should have kept track but I wasnt even thinking about it.
I know it was pretty good. I ran premium in it the entire trip to help with the mountain roads and elevation changes. didn't hurt my pocket book.

Very cool rig, my buddy had a raider in high school and that thing was surprisingly capable offroad, and it put up with some serious abuse too. He had put 20k very hard miles when he got rid of it to get a more economical car. It had 220k miles and still ran well.
I may have missed it, how many miles does this one have?

chassis has 211,000 on it. You wouldn't know it though, runs and drives like it has low miles. transmission and 4x4 shift great, engine idles and drives smooth as silk.

Since i paid for all fuel with my debit card i was able to calculate my overall gas mileage from driving this across the country:
total average for the trip was 22 MPG
This includes all city driving I did, mountain driving and off roading, as well as normal high way driving, that's the overall average.
I would estimate highway at 23-25 and city around 18-20, the manual locking front hubs really help to pick up gas mileage.

This is a great all around vehicle, very quiet and runs great. I simply prefer my 6G74 quad cam montero on 35's, don't need to own 5 cars..

I haven't read the article yet, so not sure if this exactly applies. The descriptions/name just made me think of this.
Sometimes I get depressed thinking about how unreliable indie developers are. Half the time, they will take your money without delivering the product anywhere near the timeframe you were promised/told (Greed Monger, for example). Then the other half of the time, they take your money and deliver an buggy, alpha-state game with almost none of the promised features (Mortal Online for example).
After dealing with games like Darkfall, Greed Monger, Mortal Online, etc... I feel like I can't trust someone unless they have professional and established developers along with actual investors backing them. But I suppose that's the way I should have felt from the beginning.

Hi There ApocaRUFF,
We at Omnigon Games (and myself personally) completely understand where you are coming from when you talk about product time frame and development windows as well as negging on promised content along with some devs flat out lying to their early access cust****s / players. I think we have all been burnt far too many times of late.
Myself and the team were on tour around the world (this article being one of the ones resulting from our time in San Francisco) and we were regularly asked... "Are you in Beta, are you in Alpha?" Generally my response goes as such. Indeed I had this exact conversation with Tyler.
"Alpha and Beta really don't mean anything any more thanks to overzealous press and greedy Alpha developers who don't really understand what it takes to complete a game let alone support a large player base and maintain a studio."
"Omnigon Games are, due to our investment and independent partnership with Jagex Game Studios, really able do things properly with the way we release our game in early access and the way we develop our titles. We really feel that too many indie supporters have been burnt already and the recent surge and success of Indies will become very short-lived if that continues. In all honestly (even though I shouldn't say it) I feel that a very large proportion of successful indie devs should be rather embarrassed of their financial success without delivering. We are trying to set an example by not being over zealous with how we release things and be extremely open and honest about the state of our game. Even now we are sitting in late Alpha with a game which is substantially more stable and wholly more complete than the majority of Beta's found on Steam."
"UemeU also isn't really your standard Indie title. It's far more ambitious and doesn't rely on a release and drop the title monetary model. UemeU is being made to be played over several years while undergoing constant development, a sort of platform if you will. Talking about Alpha and Beta is pretty naive and not really applicable... If I were to liken it to something... you could compare us going in to beta like Google taking GMail into Beta... and then just leaving it there... for absolutely yonks."
Anyway - paraphrased comments aside from various interviews I know all I can say is, we do have a giant studio supporting us, we've shown character and I'm sure a lot of the upcoming press we've spoken to will cover our opinions on exactly this issue and.... trust us (Yeah I know right? ).
I do encourage you to check our change log for each version (which tend to release every two weeks) and see just how fast we develop and fix bugs in the game as well as implement community requests. It's honestly pretty incredible how fast our team is... and we hope we can at least tend to the fingers of a few burnt early indie supporter pioneers all the while setting a standard for how alpha indie titles should be developed with commitment and dedication the their plans and their supporters (players).
Here's a link to some of our change logs over the last few months so you can see our progress:
We hope to have yours and many other trusting alpha funders support as we go and show people how it should be done!

Like I said, I'm not sure if anything I said applies to you guys - the article just made me think, which I guess is a good thing.
Anyways, I look forward to hearing more about your progress as time goes on.

"We were looking for a sticker photo for my daughter's sorority recruitment cards. It needed to be small. The size was perfect, but I would've liked to have seen a few more designs. In particularly more "grown up" designs. The ones you currently offer have a baby/child theme."
"It was fun to put my both kids names on this sticker, but I still need to make one of this stickers with only one child name on it it, when they are not going together to B-days"
"We are using these stickers to put on blue take out boxes for the candy buffet at my daughter's Baby Shower. Our stickers read "sweet treats". They match the invitations we ordered from you. I'm very happy with the quality of all of the items we ordered. Thank you!"
"These are adorable! I stick them on everything my son takes to school. It is so easy to label all his belongings and feel confident that they will all return home:)"
"I love these and I love that you can create cute cupcake decorations by placing these on top. What a great way to decorate birthday cupcakes at a reasonable price!"

So I'm in the market for new decoys and wanted some opinions, I've already searched the forum and found some good info, specially on GHG and FA. But I wanted to put my options and research out there and see if I missed anything or if someone has some good insight into a brand. (I always love sharing my experience with products I buy, I figure everyone else does)
Right now I have Cherokee Sports inflatables, mostly cause last season I was walking every were. Right now I have just under 4 dozen, including a dozen GWteal and 1/2 dozen pintails. The work alright and I don't have problems getting ducks to lock wings. But after only one season I've already patched alot of holes and have a few that are beyond repair. I want some traditional style decoys, mallards only. Looking for 2 dozen to start, they will be texas rigged, and probably won't go in a bag, just sit in the boat till I get home and hang them up. A lot of these decoys have paint problems I hear, but I have no problem adding clear coat, and scratches aren't a big concern to me after dealing with decoys that won't hold air. I'm cheap and most of my choices don't go over 60 bucks a dozen. So here they are. No magnums and all prized as dzn w/o shipping.
Storm Front $30 Cabelas (comes to $43 with shipping)
GHG Hot Buy $30 ***** (local pick up)
Higdon Foam FIlled $50 (comes to$66 with shipping, just out of my comfortable price range)
Hardcore Promo $50 ***** (local pick up)
Tanglefree pro series $50 ($60 with shipping from wingsupply)
Readhead Promo $35 Basspro (any idea if these are a rebrand of something else?)
For the 60 buck price range those are what I found. Tanglefree are at the top of the pile, but once again I am cheap, not poor. I welcome input, suggestions personal experience, other dealers ect.

If you're a dedicated gardener you probably know about hot-water-bath canning and pickling, but there are many other ways to preserve the bounty of your harvest so it will last the whole year. This set combines a classic book on food preservation with a new book on gardening that includes some innovative preservation methods.
Unlike most books on putting up food, Preserving Food without Freezing or Canning doesn't assume that you will boil or freeze your vegetables and fruits. It is a book that goes back to the future—celebrating traditional but little-known French techniques for storing and preserving edibles in ways that maximize flavor and nutrition.
Translated into English, and with a new foreword by Deborah Madison, this book deliberately ignores freezing and high-temperature canning in favor of methods that are superior because they are more nutritious and energy efficient. As Eliot Coleman says, "Food preservation techniques can be divided into two categories: the modern scientific methods that remove the life from food, and the natural 'poetic' methods that maintain or enhance the life in food. The poetic techniques produce . . . foods that have been celebrated for centuries and are considered gourmet delights today."
The Resilient Gardener is both a conceptual and a hands-on gardening book, and is suitable for gardeners at all levels of experience. Resilience here is broadly conceived and encompasses a full range of problems, from personal hard times such as injuries, family crises, financial problems, health problems, and special dietary needs (gluten intolerance, food allergies, carbohydrate sensitivity, and a need for weight control) to serious regional and global disasters and climate change. It is a supremely optimistic as well as realistic book about how resilient gardeners and their gardens can flourish even in challenging times and help their communities to survive and thrive through everything that comes their way — from tomorrow through the next thousand years.

Arsenal were on the verge of entering a glorious new era, but for a few weeks in the summer of 1995, Gunners fans were forced to put up with Spurs fans chanting "Nayim From The Halfway Line", after the former Tottenham man won the Cup Winners' Cup Final for Real Zaragoza with a speculative punt.
The rebuilding process began on June 5 when Bolton boss Bruce Rioch was appointed Arsenal manager, despite names such as Bobby Robson and Johan Cruyff having been linked with the post. The Scot began his tenure in a characteristically brisk and positive manner, telling The Evening Standard of the "tradition", "the huge challenge", and the "huge stature Arsenal have in world football." He got to work immediately.
The rumours linking Dutch ace Dennis Bergkamp with a move to Highbury from Inter Milan had been doing the rounds, and he was unveiled by Rioch just 15 days into his tenure. The aura surrounding Arsenal's first bona fide continental superstar was quite unlike anything fans had seen before. His (new) strike partner Ian Wright claimed: "There hasn't been anyone like him in England before."
When he was joined at Highbury two weeks later by David Platt, England's goal-hungry midfield captain, collective hysteria from Arsenal fans reached fever pitch. Arsenal had spent over £12 million to pay for the pair. Having shattered its wage structure, the board decided that a statement of intent was needed to convince the football world that Arsenal could compete with the likes of Blackburn, Newcastle and Manchester United. But the new signings needed to deliver on the pitch, and Rioch's only season at Highbury, although showing promise, wasn't entirely without problems.
Bergkamp took time to settle, but served notice of his presence when he blasted home two crackers against Southampton in late September. Platt also scored twice early in the season, but at times, the midfield appeared to lack balance, and Rioch clashed publicly with striker Ian Wright about his contributions to the team. Rioch unquestionably introduced more of a passing game at Arsenal, encouraging the full backs Lee Dixon and Nigel Winterburn to maraud forward. There were some real highlights on the pitch too. Eventual champions Manchester United were beaten 1-0 at Highbury and Newcastle were twice beaten 2-0 in north London.
Rioch's Arsenal finished a creditable fifth, and qualified for the UEFA Cup, but the tabloids were full of stories about tension behind the scenes. Two weeks before the start of the 1996/97 campaign, Rioch was dismissed.
So the Gunners began the season without a manager, but it was confirmed that Grampus Eight boss Arsène Wenger would be joining the Club in late September. Although still in Japan, the Frenchman spoke to Arsenal fans prior to the match against table-topping Sheffield Wednesday at Highbury. With Wednesday winning 1-0 at half-time, on came Patrick Vieira to make his debut. Immediately it was apparent that a new-age midfielder had arrived on the scene. The Frenchman's awesome physical presence and short, accurate passing induced terror into Wednesday's previously well-organised ranks.
His impact was sensational. Goals from Platt and Wright (three) won the game, and when Wenger took charge for the first time three weeks later away at Blackburn, Vieira started the game and Wright's double enabled the Gunners to win 2-0. The Wenger era was underway, and for the remainder of the campaign, fans were treated to some sensational displays. The highlight of those was arguably a magnificent 3-1 home win against Tottenham, with Tony Adams volleying home a superb second goal.
The emphasis was on short, fast, accurate passing, with the back four urged to thunder forward to heap pressure on the opposition. The transition took time, of course. In those early weeks, players grumbled about having to eat steamed chicken and broccoli prior to matches, and the removal of their post-match chocolate bars, but Arsenal's eventual third-place finish (defeats home and away against Liverpool and Manchester United killed off any title hopes) suggested Wenger was moving the Club in the right direction.
By the beginning of the 1997/98 campaign, more continental gems in the form of Nicolas Anelka, Marc Overmars and Emmanuel Petit had arrived at Highbury, and the scene was set for one of the Club's greatest ever campaigns. The opening two months were notable for the sharp shooting of Wright (who became the Club's record goalscorer during a home win over Bolton) and Bergkamp, whose form ripped apart teams at will throughout August and September.
The advantage appeared to belong to Manchester United as the Gunners struggled for form in October and November (a vital, thrilling 3-2 home win against United was Arsenal's only win in a six-match spell in Autumn), but remarkably after losing 3-1 at home to Blackburn in December, Wenger's side embarked on an 18 league game unbeaten streak which lasted until May.
During that time, Tony Adams successfully underwent rehabilitation for a potentially career-ending ankle injury, and Petit and Vieira became the best midfield duo in the country. With Overmars cutting in from the wing and shooting at will, and Bergkamp and emerging striker Anelka scoring with regularity, Arsenal stormed to the title. Overmars' winner at Old Trafford nudged things in the Gunners' favour, and on a truly memorable Highbury afternoon, a stunning 4-0 victory over Everton saw the Gunners lift the Championship in front of their own supporters for the first time in 45 years.
Thirteen days later, goals from Overmars and Anelka at Wembley saw Arsenal defeat Newcastle 2-0 in the FA Cup Final, and secure the Club's second 'double' of the twentieth century.
The manner of the Club's success finally rendered the "Boring Arsenal" and "Lucky Arsenal" tags redundant. Wenger's men narrowly failed to recapture the 'double' in the 1998/99 season. A stuttering pre-Christmas run of form put Arsenal a long way behind Manchester United, but sensational new year form, including a memorable 6-1 win away at Middlesbrough, and a 3-1 win at Spurs, saw Arsenal with their noses in front in the league with just two games to play.
Ultimately, a 1-0 loss away at Leeds cost the Gunners, and they finished runners up to United. There was a similar story in the FA Cup semi-final replay; had Dennis Bergkamp converted his late penalty, Wenger's men would have reached the FA Cup final. Instead, Ryan Giggs's stunning winner helped United on their way to an historic 'treble'. So near yet so far, but there was more glory for the Gunners just around the corner.
- "Hartlefool! Bergy can't even score against ten men," boomed a tabloid headline after Dennis drew a blank against Hartlepool in the League Cup. A few days later, the Dutchman put Southampton to the sword
- Arsène Wenger claimed that Gilles Grimandi's late winner at home against Crystal Palace was "probably the most important goal of the 1997/98 season. I could feel the pendulum swing our way when we won that game," he said
- Emmanuel Petit nearly joined Spurs in summer 1997 before signing for the Gunners

JVC has jumped head first into the "low storage space MP3 'phones" arena. The XA-A50 headphones provide a whopping 128 MB of storage, supporting both the MP3 and DRM-protected WMA formats. At least it's power conscious, providing 20 hours of play time via one AAA battery. Looks like this thing will cost about $150 USD - or you can just take that and buy an iPod shuffle which holds ten-times the content.

Review: SanDisk 256 MB Memory Stick Duo Card for PSP
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Accessories, Features, Portable/Mobile, Reviews
So Jake from 8bitJoystick has decided to join us here at Gear Live and PlayFeed, and we are very happy to have him. You can look forward to his weekly column, set to publish this week. For now, take a look at a sample of his work.
Yesterday I decided that it was not worth the wait and money to get a 1-Gig MemoryStick Duo card for my PSP and I picked up a much more reasonable 256 Meg MemoryStick Duo made by SanDisk. They have a new line of cards that are all bright colors that is deliberately trying to go after the PSP gamer market. I am glad that there is some competition for manufacturing MemorySticks for the PSP. I do remember when there was a drought of PS2 Memory Cards and it did suck ever so hard.

iPod Shuffle Locks In 58% of Flash Player Sales
Posted by Edwin Soto Categories: Corporate News, Portable Audio / Video
CFO Peter Oppenheimer has told Merrill Lynch analyst Steven Milunovich that the iPod shuffle market has increased 43% since February dominating 58% of the market.
Mr. Oppenheimer reportedly said Apple was "supply-constrained in March and will be interested to see the April (sales) data." Mr. Milunovich said he was told by the exec that "Apple isn't feeling competitive heat yet" in the digital media device market from the likes of Creative, Sony, iRiver and others.
It was also said that Apple may try to advertise more on television. Surely their competitors need to do more of that too.

Possession of Next-Gen Consoles
Posted by Jesse Easley Categories: Adventure, PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360
With all the rumors about next-gen consoles we went searching for some games that are set to be released for them. We're still searching, but we came across one game which looks pretty neat, called Possession. Now, zombies are very popular whether they are in games or movies, but this game has a twist. No more saving yourself and others from the dreaded zombies of "City X" because in Possession you are the enslaver and your goal is to start a zombie apocalypse. The main character was once human, but through the game's story you start to see why he's after everyone. Right now the plan for this game is to be released on the Xbox 360, PS3, and eventually PC.

TiVo Desktop 2.1 Available
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Home Entertainment, Software
The TiVo Desktop software has been upgraded, and version 2.1 is now available for download. The biggest change, aside from the visual aspect, is that TiVo Desktop 2.1 includes support for playing TiVoToGo shows on Microsoft Portable Media Center units. The update is available for the Windows XP and 2000 operating systems. On the flip side, if you are on a Mac, it looks like TiVo Desktop 1.9.1 is broken in Tiger. Personally, I am still waiting for them to release TiVoToGo for DVD players with integrated TiVo software. What gives?

A delegation of lawyers just returned from an inspection of human rights conditions in Zimbabwe were shocked at the contemptuous attitude of police and government officials toward humans rights in their nation. Andrea Gabriel commented: "We were shocked at the levels of evidence of torture and police brutality and the impunity shown to members of the legal profession." Gabriel, a member of the Durban Bar noted that even orders from the Zimbabwe High Court were ignored. In a typical case they encountered, a lawyer representing a member of opposition party leader, Morgban Tavangiral was denied access to his client. Another lawyer, Andrew Makoni, was warned he would be charged with an attempt to defeat the ends of justice because of statements he made to defend his client. When he tried serving a court order on a police inspector, the man tore it up, scrunched it into a ball and thew it in his face. Earlier this year, hundreds of people were arrested on charge of being "petrol bombers" without search warrants and later the police were told by the court they simply had no evidence.
Leading lawyers in South Africa and Zambia have called upon their government to come to the aid of Zimbabwe, but there is a reluctance to take action against another African nation. The same leaders who were active in the fight for independence from colonial rule are remarkably silent in the face of oppression and poverty in one of their fellow African nations.

The Canisius College men's basketball team hit 14 3-point field goals and the Golden Griffins' defense held high-scoring Iona to just 34 second-half points en route to a thrilling 77-74 victory Saturday night in the Koessler Athletic Center. The win, Canisius' fifth in its last six outings, improved the team to 15-8 overall and 8-4 in the MAAC while the Gaels fell to 14-9 overall and 8-4 in league play.
Canisius junior Billy Baron led all scorers with a game-high 23 points as all five Canisius starters scored in double figures for the second-straight game. Senior Harold Washington posted 13 points and senior Isaac Sosa was good for 12 points. Junior Chris Manhertz scored 12 points and pulled down a team-high eight rebounds in the win for the Griffs, while fellow junior Jordan Heath was good for 10 points and seven boards. As a team, Canisius shot 40 percent from the field, 46.7 percent from 3-point land after going 14-for-30 from long range and 70.4 percent from the free-throw line.
"Iona beat us pretty good when we played them down there [Jan. 13] so tonight was a great team victory for us," Canisius head coach Jim Baron said. "I thought Alshwan Hymes played a great game off the bench tonight. Billy [Baron] really stepped up making some big plays and hit some big shots. We got into foul trouble early and so we were mixing defenses by going man and going zone and it worked down the stretch. Iona is a very good basketball team. They have some very good players and we were fortunate to get this win."
In a game that featured 14 lead changes and 12 ties, Iona led 70-65 with 5:09 left to play in regulation time after Iona senior Lamont Jones hit a pair of free-throws. From there, Baron took over, as he scored the Griffs' next five points in the span of 16 seconds with a driving lay-up and a 3-point field goal that knotted the game at 70-70 with 4:40 remaining. Moments later, Jones stuck a mid-range jumper from the right wing to give the Gaels a 74-72 lead with 3:12 left to play. Neither team was able to score over the game's next 2:14, but with 58 seconds left to play, Baron was fouled as he attempted a 3-pointer from the top of the key, and he calmly walked to the charity stripe and sunk three free-throws to give the Blue and Gold a 75-74 lead with less than a minute to play.
Out of an Iona timeout, the Gaels were called for a traveling violation, and the Griffs went to the other end of the floor where Jordan Heath hit one of two free-throws 26 ticks left. After Iona took its final timeout, the Gaels again coughed the ball up with four seconds left and Sosa went to the line after he was fouled on the ensuing in-bounds pass to secure the Griffs' win after he hit one of two from the line. The win was Canisius' first victory over Iona since the 2010-11 season and it improved the team to 10-2 at home this year.
Hymes had six points on two made 3-pointers for the Griffs, who have made 37 3-point field goals in their last three games. Baron added six assists and five rebounds to Canisius' winning effort, while sophomore Josiah Heath came off the bench to collect five rebounds and a steal in 22 minutes of action. Iona forward Taaj Ridley scored a career-high 18 points in the loss for Iona. David Laurey had 11 points and a game-high 16 rebounds for Gaels, which outrebounded the Griffs by a 49-35 count. Jones scored 13 points and dished out four assists for Iona, which shot 39.7 percent from the field, 24.1 percent from 3-point land and 64.3 percent from the free-throw line.
After playing the last three straight at home, the Griffs will start a five-game road stretch on Thursday, Feb. 7, when the team plays at Manhattan. Tipoff in Riverdale, N.Y., is set for 7 p.m., and that game will be broadcast live on ESPN3.Game Notes: This was the 61st all-time meeting between these two schools, with Iona leading the series by a 32-28 count... Canisius is now 19-10 all-time in home games against Iona... Saturday's game marked the third time this season the Griffs had all five scorers post double figures in the scoring column... Canisius' 15 wins by Feb. 2 are the most for the program since the 1985-86 season... The Griffs have 10 or more makes from 3-point land in 11 games this year... Sosa's three 3-point field goals gives him 74 this season, which ranks third on the school's single-season 3-point field goals made list... Hymes has now hit at least one trifecta in 79 of his 103 career games played and he is now two 3-pointers shy of 200 makes from behind the arc for his career... Baron has scored 20 or more points six times this season and 11 times in his career... Washington's 13 points allowed him to move past the 800-career point milestone for his career as a Griff in just 53 games.

Texans Encouraged to Spend May 3 with the Frogs
AUSTIN, Texas — The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is urging Texans to go out next Saturday night — out-of-doors, that is.
May 3 has been designated as "Record the Ribbit" night by the National Wildlife Federation. Citizens across the country are being encouraged to visit a wetland site after dark and listen for the sounds of frogs and toads calling. Data can then be entered online to allow biologists to compare amphibian activity all across the country.
Spring is a prime time for observing amphibians in Texas, because most frogs and toad species come to ponds, rivers, and other wetlands to breed on spring nights. The male frogs and toads "sing" in order to attract females to the wetland and to themselves. Each of Texas' 42 species has a unique song, from the booming of the bullfrog, to the clicking sound of the cricket frog, to the trills of the toads. "Record the Ribbit" asks volunteers to listen for some more of the common species in the state and then "record" the information on a data sheet.
Interested participants can learn what species occur in their area and what they sound like by consulting a printed field guide or an online site, such as "Herps of Texas." On May 3 they can choose to visit any site, such as a backyard ornamental pond, a local fishing pond, or a nearby stream or wetland. They can listen as long as they like, from five minutes up to several hours. Participants are encouraged to remember safety — visiting in groups if necessary — and to respect private property.
"'Record the Ribbit' is a fun way to introduce families and just ordinary citizens to the importance of monitoring our frog and toad species," said Lee Ann Linam, a biologist with TPWD and coordinator of Texas Amphibian Watch. "Many amphibian species around the world are in trouble. We hope that simply being outside experiencing the sounds of frogs and toads helps people appreciate the value of these species. But we also hope that experience will motivate people to learn more and to join some of the long-term volunteer monitoring efforts designed to conserve amphibians in Texas, such as Texas Amphibian Watch."
For more information on Record the Ribbit, including downloadable data sheets, visit the NWF Web site. For more information on Texas Amphibian Watch, including pictures and sounds of Texas frogs and Toads and a list of Texas Amphibian Watch training workshops, visit the TPWD Web site.

Hey everyone,
I recently purchased a new boat, and i'm getting ready to put its name on the back as one of my decals. The problem is, I don't have the "official Star Wars" FONT.

Union Leader Correspondent | July 26. 2013 7:47PM
Dozens of supporters stood outside the Harvey-Mitchell Memorial Library in Epping Friday to rally around Tracie Wilkins, a children's librarian who was fired last week. Jason Schreiber (Jason Schreiber/Union Leader Correspondent)
Tracie Wilkins, known to most kids as "Miss Tracie," was let go from her part-time position at the Harvey-Mitchell Memorial Library on July 16, but the reasons for the firing haven't been made public.
Parents who know Wilkins said they were told she was fired because she had missed too many days of work, but that didn't stop them from showing their support for a librarian they say has made a difference in the lives of many Epping children.
An online petition calling for Wilkins' reinstatement has been launched as well at www.change.org. The petition had 250 signatures by Friday afternoon.
Wilkins was not available for comment Friday.
"We don't expect any impact on our programs long term," Vose said.
Bade's daughters have participated in the summer reading program, story time and other events at the library.
"It's really a travesty for the town," she said.Bade's daughters Alexa, 10, and Sophie, 8, said they always enjoyed story time with Wilkins and other activities at the library.
Her daughter Mackenzie, 10, said she liked participating in the "Story Explorers" program after school, playing games and making crafts related to the books that were read at the library.
Mackenzie's twin sisters, 7-year-old Malaney and Maelie, also liked the cooking classes at the library where they made pancakes, pretzels and popsicles.
While he wouldn't discuss the circumstances surrounding the firing because he said it was a personnel matter, Vose said he was pleased to see so many people coming out to support the library.

As the fall semester is winding down and finals are just a few weeks away, you may be feeling as though you have finally gotten settled in here. You know where all the buildings around campus are located and you feel like you have finally learned the ropes of being a Roger Williams student. Now that you are feeling at home here you may wish you had gotten more involved in campus clubs and organizations and perhaps you want to become a student leader and share your RWU spirit with other students. Well, it is never too late to get involved at RWU and a great program to participate in is the SOAR program!
SOAR is a leadership program based off the Social Change Model, an idea that leadership consists of three parts: the individual, the group, and the community. The program is broken down into three tiers, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the model.

On the other hand, there are artfully concealed items... Artfully concealed means that the prohibited item was intentionally concealed with the intention of sneaking it through security:- A 14" cane sword was discovered at Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW).- A 3" double edged knife was found concealed as a belt buckle at Los Angeles (LAX).
You can travel with your firearms in checked baggage, but they must first be declared to the airline. You can go here for more details on how to properly travel with your firearms. We also look for explosives and bomb components as well, but thankfully those are extremely rare and we're happy to keep it that way.Unfortunately these sorts of occurrences are all too frequent which is why we talk about these finds. Sure, it's great to share the things that our officers are finding, but at the same time, each time we find a dangerous item, the throughput is slowed down and a passenger that likely had no ill intent ends up with a citation or in some cases is even arrested. This is a friendly reminder to please leave these items at home. Just because we find a prohibited item on an individual does not mean they had bad intentions, that's for the law enforcement officer to decide. In many cases, people simply forgot they had these items in their bag. That's why it's important to double check your luggage before you get to the airport.
Including checkpoint and checked baggage screening, TSA has 20 layers of security both visible and invisible to the public. Each one of these layers alone is capable of stopping a terrorist attack. In combination their security value is multiplied, creating a much stronger, formidable system. A terrorist who has to overcome multiple security layers in order to carry out an attack is more likely to be pre-empted, deterred, or to fail during the attempt.
If you'd like to comment on an unrelated topic you can do so in our Off Topic Comments post. You can also view our blog post archives or search our blog to find a related topic to comment in. If you have a travel related issue or question that needs an immediate answer, you can contact a Customer Support Manager at the airport you traveled, or will be traveling through by using Talk to TSA.

INDIAN LAND – The Indian Land High School band finished its marching season with what ILHS band director Matt Willis called the "program's crowning achievement over the past decade."
On Oct. 25, the Warrior marching band placed fourth at the S.C. Band Directors Association's 2A state finals with its "So, This is Earth..." show.
"This was the band's highest finish at state finals in a decade," Willis said.
Lancaster County School District officials said recent changes in standardized testing and ongoing uncertainty over its future in the state is having an effect on local educators and may have played a role in this year's mediocre PASS and HSAP test results.
The item was among the topics discussed during this month's school board meeting Tuesday, Aug. 19.

Bells will ring for the first day of school on Monday, Aug. 18, and throughout the county, students will re-enter and enter for the first time elementary, middle and high schools in the Lancaster County School District.
Reece Murphy
Lancaster County School District officials have chosen Buford High School Principal Butch Dutton to serve as the district's director of secondary education.
Dutton appointment fills a position vacated in June when former secondary education director Jonathan Phipps left for a job as superintendent of Abbeville County schools.
York Technical College announced Wednesday, June 11, it will open a new Indian Land instructional site in August.
Located on the first floor of the Verian Technologies building at 1245 Rosemont Drive, the center will initially offer classes for 120 students. To celebrate the opening, the college is giving scholarships to the first 100 students who sign up

s clouds loomed overhead outside, spirits remained up in the Lancaster High School gymnasium. Just after 3:30 p.m. Friday, May 30, LHS administrators made the decision to move the graduation exercises indoors.
Indian Land High School graduate Leander McCall and the class of 2014 expressed their thanks, admiration and farewells "Hunger Game"-style during their commencement ceremony, Friday, May 30.
Denyse Clark
Buford High School's class of 2014 entered the gymnasium with a little pep in their steps on Friday, May 30 and walked out with even more.
That wasn't lost on Genester Curry, aunt of BHS graduate, Tijuan Dixon.
"It's a blessing to see him graduate," she said.
Dixon's grandmother, Pat Dixon, agreed.
Christopher Sardelli
Life may be full of obstacles, but it's how you handle those challenges that means the most.
Those were Tristan Mackey's words of advice to an anxious and excited crowd of seniors during Andrew Jackson High School's graduation in Kershaw on Friday afternoon, May 30.
As graduation grows near, three Lancaster County high schools are celebrating a centuries-old tradition today, Sunday, May 25, to honor students' dedication to learning and wisdom and prepare them for what comes next.
The tradition of holding baccalaureate services is believed to have begun in 1432 at the University of Oxford in Oxford, England.

St. Patrick's Day has been observed and celebrated in Ireland for over 1000 years. This celebration commemorates the life of St. Patrick and his extension of Christianity in Ireland as well as highlights Irish culture and heritage.
This year, the University of St. Thomas William J. Flynn Center for Irish Studies will host a March 17 celebration with Mass celebrated by Daniel N. Cardinal DiNardo of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston at 10:30 a.m. in the Chapel of St. Basil followed by brunch in Jerabeck Gymnasium. Mass is open to the public.
The cost for brunch is $25 if reserved by March 7 at noon or $30 at the door. Proceeds will benefit the Center and support study abroad scholarships.
"Our St. Patrick's Day Celebration is one of the cornerstones of our Flynn Center for Irish Studies annual events," Lori Gallagher, director of the William J. Flynn Center for Irish Studies, said. "Each year we gather to celebrate the contributions of St. Patrick on March 17, his Feast Day."
Another annual UST Irish Studies tradition is for students in the UST Irish Club and UST Flynn Center for Irish Studies students, faculty and staff, as well as members of the community, to don green and march in the annual downtown Houston St. Patrick's Day parade. This year the parade will be held on Saturday, March 15, and will start at noon from Minute Maid Park. Others are welcome to join in the fun.
"Interestingly, the St. Patrick's Day parade originated not in Ireland, but in the United States as early as 1762," Gallagher said.
From his own writing in his Confessio, we know that Saint Patrick was born into a Romano-British family. Before he turned 16, Irish raiders kidnapped him and took him to Ireland as a slave, where he tended sheep for many years. In a dream, he was told by God to flee to the coast, where he would board a ship and return to Britain. After his escape, it is believed that he joined the Church in Auxerre in Gaul and studied to be a priest. Later, he heard "the voice of the Irish" calling him back to Ireland.
He returned to Ireland in the fifth century, this time as a bishop, to further the conversion of the Irish from their native polytheism. Folklore tells that one of his teaching methods included using the shamrock to explain the Christian doctrine of the Trinity to the Irish people.
"St. Patrick is revered by Catholics and Protestants alike for his extensive mission in Ireland, where he converted many people to Christianity and spread the faith against difficult odds, including death threats, imprisonment and great hardship," Gallagher said.
The William J. Flynn Center for Irish Studies at the University of St. Thomas is the only Irish studies academic and cultural program in the Southwest. Listed as one of the top 10 Irish Studies programs in the country, the Center represents people who are enrolled in the Irish Studies minor, the graduate concentration in the Master in Liberal Arts Program and those interested in Irish and Northern Irish topics.
Contact Lori Gallagher at 713-525-3592 or email@example.com for reservations.

River Otter Fact Sheet
The river otter (Lutra canadensis) is a member of the Mustelidae or weasel family. It is an amphibious member of this family as are the mink and sea otter. While many states experienced declines in river otter densities, distribution, and in some cases extirpation in the mid 1800s - 1900s, Georgia's population remained fairly widespread throughout much of the state. Today, the river otter thrives throughout the state, including areas in north Georgia where its populations were once diminished. River otter abundance is directly dependent on habitat quality and availability.
River otter are thickly furred and their body is torpedo shaped. Their fur is usually dark brown but may range from almost black to reddish. The belly is usually silvery or grayish brown and their throat and cheeks are silvery to yellowish brown. Otters range in size from three to almost five feet long from nose to tip of tail. They may weigh from 15-30 pounds. Females are typically twenty-five percent smaller than males. Its tail makes up almost 1/3 of the length of the otter and is flattened to aid in swimming. The hind feet of the otter are webbed and the ears and nose have valves that close when the otter submerges to make the otter watertight. The otter can stay submerged for up to 4 minutes and dive to depths of 60 feet. It can swim at an average speed of 6-7 miles per hour and run up to 15-18 miles per hour.
River otter are most active early evening through early morning and occupy a wide variety of habitat types in Georgia. These include lakes, ponds, marshes, rivers, and streams. River otter, especially males, may occupy up to 50 miles of a stream throughout the course of a year. Females generally have much smaller home ranges and may range over as little as 7 miles of a stream. River otter primarily use waterways as travel paths but do cross-land between rivers or streams or ponds and often have well worn paths, which are regularly used by otters for years. Otter use scent posts along these paths and waterways to mark territories and communicate with other otter in the area. Chirps, chuckles, grunts, whistles, and screams are also used by otter for communication.
River otters are carnivores and eat a wide variety of prey items depending upon location within Georgia and the time of year. Prey items along the coast may include crabs and young alligators while otter in middle to north Georgia may dine on muskrats. Common items eaten by otter throughout Georgia include various crustaceans, amphibians, reptiles, birds, insects, and fish. The most common prey item for otter is fish. River otter use their whiskers and keen sense of touch to find and catch prey with their mouth. They hunt by diving and chasing fish or digging in the bottom of ponds and streams.
River otter reach sexual maturity when they are 2 years old. Breeding takes place in March - April and the young, called "kits", are born the following late winter / early spring. This late birth is due to delayed implantation. Litter size can range from 1 - 6 but the most common litter size is 2-4. The young are usually born in underground dens that may be old beaver dens or washed out areas in river or stream banks. The kits eyes open when they reach around 5 weeks of age and first leave the den at around 2 months old. The male otter offers no assistance in raising the kits, but the female teaches the young to swim and catch prey. While the kits are weaned by 4 months of age, they generally remain with the female until they are 12-13 months old.
River otter are an important indicator species as to the quality of habitats where they are found. This is because the otter is a strict carnivore and contaminants that occur in the environment may concentrate in the otter over time in a process known as biomagnification.
River otter sometimes cause nuisance problems for pond owners and commercial fish farmers. Because otter may often be found in family groups, they can clean out a small catfish or bass/bream farm pond in a short time. The only solutions are to let the otter have all the fish they want, prohibit entry through electric fencing, or lethal removal (preferably during the regular trapping season). River otter are rarely suspected in other types of nuisance complaints.
River otter are a valuable furbearer resource worldwide. Georgia's trapping season typically runs from December 1 through February 28 each year. Traps most commonly used for otter include conibears or body-gripping traps and footholds. A commercial trapping license is required to trap and sell river otter pelts but landowners may apply for a free trapping license to trap on their own land. River otter fur is used primarily for clothing, especially jackets and coats.

Hello all-
I am new to the site and am already addicted. Currently I'm on a study abroad program in Palmerston North, NZ and would love to bag a few ducks while I'm here. If there's anyone out there who wouldn't mind another person in their blind, I would be more than happy to help out around the house/farm for a weekend. Sadly I don't have any gear here. I didn't even think about packing hunting gear and immediately regret it after hearing about the amazing duck hunting. If you've got any extra gear, guns, etc and wouldn't mind treating an American college student to a real NZ duck hunt, I'll try and do my best to make it worth your while. Like I said if it'll help, I can do some chores, buy a few rounds at the pub for your kindness.
I'll be here for another few weeks and would love to be able to brag about duck hunting in May (our spring back home).
Oh and what kind of licenses would I need to get set-up?


text: Hello all! Soooo, I want to start doing 3-turns (Wheee!) and I was wondering which 3-turn is traditionally the easiest to learn. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe all the following qualify as 3-turns for going from forward to backwards: left forward outside edge to left backward inside edge left forward inside edge to left backward outside edge right forward outside edge to right backward inside edge right forward inside edge to right backward outside edge How would you rank those 4 possible 3-turns from easiest to hardest? Thanks sooo much!

They are making the 220 now as a single-action only pistol, like your hi-powers and whatnot. I wonder how one of those is going to perform.
Might be worth looking into as well, for the devoted 1911 and hi-power fan.
I've found the 220 platform to be very accurate and fun to shoot. One of the best .45's out there, in my opinion.

Pentax K-500 review:pared down specification, pared down performance?By Kevin Carter - Thursday September 12 2013 Sensor Review
As a more accessibly priced model, the $499 Pentax K-500 is a pared down variant of the $699 K-50. It lacks the weather-sealed body and adopts AA batteries instead of a rechargeable lithium-ion pack but how well does the 16Mpix sensor perform?
At $499 the Pentax K-500 is a slightly stripped down version of the K-50, adopting the same stabilized 16MpIx resolution CMOS sensor and body of its sibling, yet lacking the weather-resistant construction, leveling option and lithium ion battery. While the K-500 is supplied with AA batteries instead (in the US only), opting for this model over the K-50 will save $200. While the lithium ion battery and charger can be bought separately in the US it's supplied as standard equipment in other markets (in place of the AA batteries).
In nearly every other respect the two cameras are identical. It has a 1/6000sec top shutter speed (with a 1/180sec flash sync), can shoot continuously at up to 6fps and captures video for up to 25mins using 1080p at 30/25/24fps in MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 using one of three compression levels. The K-500 measures 129x96.5x70mm and weighs just 650g with battery and SD card, and is available now.
