A new report released Tuesday by the Bureau of State Audits reveals more than $622,000 in abuses involving taxpayer funds.
Following tips from whistle-blowers, state auditor Elaine Howle found numerous illegal activities involving California employees.
Among the highlights in the report:
- A fraud scheme involving a Franchise Tax Board employee, an Office of the Secretary of State employee and a courier service owner that resulted in bribery convictions for all three individuals, who must now pay $227,430 in restitution
- More than $92,000 in illegal unemployment benefits in a conspiracy to defraud the Employment Development Department
- More than $100,000 in improper travel benefits that included reimbursing employees to commute from home to work
- Nearly $119,000 in improper overtime paid to inspectors from the California State Athletic Commission
Those overpayments to 18 different inspectors included amounts ranging from $666 to $25,257. KCRA 3 asked state officials how they could miss such massive overpayments.
"The understanding that we had was because these individuals are state employees, that we required to pay them premium time, which is time and a half," said Russ Heimerich, a spokesman with the California Department of Consumer Affairs, which oversees the State Athletic Commission.
Heimerich said his department asked the auditor to look into the suspicious payments. He told KCRA 3 the inspectors are now required to reimburse the state for the overpayments.
The auditor also found other abuses, at other agencies, involving for example, $53,800 in unnecessary goods and services for the Department of Fish and Game, including $5,000 in Home Depot gift cards.
"We hear of these cases over and over again of misuse, fraud and waste in state government and certainly there's a lot more going on," said Jon Coupal, president of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association in Sacramento. "This is just the tip of the iceberg."
Several state employees and their accomplices have been sentenced to prison. Others have been suspended from work, while the state is seeking to recover the funds.

The Fish DNA Barcoding Kit is an advanced PCR kit that allows students to determine the species of a fish sample based on its DNA sequence of the cytochrome c oxidase I gene.
With this kit, students are able to:
Species are traditionally identified by taxonomists who need to have in-depth knowledge of certain species characteristics and environments in order to categorize them. The power of DNA research now allows us to add a level of identification based on the sequencing of a conserved gene. The subtle changes in sequences result in species-specific identification or genetic barcodes. This information is critical in helping to assess biodiversity and conservation efforts, as well as commercially, where food marketplaces can be regulated.
This kit provides sufficient materials for processing up to 16 fish and control samples (8 student work stations, 2 samples per workstation, 2–4 students per workstation).
The DNA Barcoding Sequencing Module allows you to order sequencing services now and use them when you're ready. Sample shipping to a validated sequencing facility is included with this module! PCR cleanup and sequencing are included for up to nine samples per sequencing module.

Saratoga National Little League: Liberty Tax Service defeats Sandlot Marketing 5-2 to advance to Mayor's Cup Championship Saturday
SARATOGA SPRINGS — Jayden Williamson smacked an inside the park home run, while William Hill and Hunter Chandler combined to throw a one-hitter to lead Liberty Tax Service to a 5-2 win over Sandlot Marketing in the Saratoga National Little League minors championship game Thursday. With the win, Liberty advances to the Mayor's Cup Championship game against the winner of the Saratoga American Little League.
"It's sort of like, 'Oh My God, we're here,'" Hill said. "Wow. That's all I can say, wow."
Second-seeded Liberty began the game on a strong note. Max Kurto opened the first inning with a leadoff walk. A groundout and a passed ball allowed Kurto to advance to third base. Chandler then hit a bloop single to right field that allowed Kurto to score the game's opening run.
Sandlot Marketing responded in the bottom of the first. Thomas Bobear recorded Sandlot's only hit of the game with a leadoff double. Bobear proceeded to steal third base and slid home on a passed ball to tie the game, 1-1.
That score held until the top of the third. Josh D'Addio drew a walk for Liberty, which set the stage for Williamson, who drilled an inside-the-park home run to give Liberty a 3-1 advantage.
"I couldn't believe it," said Williamson, who was right on the tail of D'Addio rounding third. "I hit it up the middle and I thought the outfielder was going to get it, but he didn't. I was watching my coach when I was rounding second and he was sending (D'Addio) home, so I went with him."
Liberty was back on the offensive in the top of the fourth inning. Three walks loaded the bases with only one out. Jack Whitaker hit a groundball that allowed Coleman
Fignar to go home, giving Liberty a commanding 4-1 lead.
"I've noticed throughout the year that we play better when we have leads because we're more comfortable," Hill said. "We play better knowing we have the lead and that one mistake isn't that big of a deal."
Liberty tacked on an insurance run in the fifth inning. Jax Todorovic clubbed a single and proceeded to steal second and third base. Joey Mavis' RBI single allowed Todorovic to score, making it a 5-1 affair. Continued...
Sandlot cut into the lead in the bottom of the frame, when John Gleason scored on a Liberty miscue.
Hunter Chandler, who pitched three scoreless innings, closed the door in the bottom of the sixth inning to secure the win for Liberty.
"I was just trying to do my best and not look at the scoreboard," the right-hander said.
Hill and Chandler combined to allow just one hit in six innings of work, while striking out 10 to lead Liberty.
Bobear recorded a double for Sandlot, while Liam Baldwin and Gleason each drew two walks.
Sandlot plays in the Mayor's Cup consolation game Saturday at 2 p.m., while Liberty plays for the championship at |5:30 p.m. at East Side Rec.
"East Side is a good team," Williamson said. "But I feel like if we play our hardest, we can win."

Hello! I'm from Louisville, Kentucky, and I've just started raising Monarch caterpillars. One of my dad's friends at work raises them, and she gave me one to take care of. It was hard to find milkweed, since we weren't sure what it looked like, and she said it looks different from the ones in the pictures you'd see on the internet, but we found a bunch of leaves, and s/he seemed to find the right ones to eat, so we've been giving him/her them.
Just a few minutes ago, I found another, wild Monarch cat on the side of the road. Figuring that's not a safe place to stay , I picked up the Milkweed s/he was on, and some nearby, and brought them home. However, it seems I also brought home Aphids that were on the cat's leaf.. Should I be worried? I know they just eat plants, but could they hurt her/him somehow?

They appear to have found it after they dominated 23rd-ranked Angelo State, 38-14, in a game that wasn't as close as the score indicated.
The win pushes the Wildcats to 7-0 overall, 5-0 in the Lone Star Conference and 2-0 in the LSC South, while the Rams fall to 5-2, 4-1 and 2-1. ACU will be back at Shotwell Stadium at 2 p.m. next Saturday when they host West Texas A&M in the Wildcats' homecoming contest.
The victory could also push the Wildcats to the No. 1 spot in the nation after Grand Valey State was upset by Hillsdale, 27-24, earlier Saturday. ACU has never been the nation's top-ranked team since it went to NCAA Division II in 1982.
With the No. 23 Angelo State Rams playing in their biggest home game since 2005 and in front of a homecoming crowd of 10,250 fans, the Wildcats dominated from the outset as they pushed the Rams all over the field both offensively and defensively.
The Rams entered the game with an NCAA Division II-best 27 sacks and allowing just 53.5 rushing yards per game. ACU allowed just one sack and ran the ball 47 times for 158 pounding, brusing, clock-chewing yards.
The offensive line of Tony Washington, Royland Tubbs, Matt Weber, Levi Wolfe, Trevis Turner and backup Neal Tivis dominated the line of scrimmage, while the ACU defensive front seven contained an ASU offense that had been averaging 434.3 yards (291.5 through the air) and 33.3 points per game. The Rams finished with 299 total yards and only seven points against the defense (ASU scored one on a fake field goal).
"We talked before this game about how it was time to establish the true identity of this team," ACU head coach Chris Thomsen said. "I think we've found it after (Saturday), and it's that we're a tough, physical football team. We believe we can run the ball, and we believe we can stop the run.
"That might not have been good enough the last couple of seasons in our league because of the offensive firepower that was so prevalant," he said. "But the identity of this team is toughness, and it starts with our defense and our offensive line is picking up on that."
The toughness showed itself in the third quarter after the Rams momentarily got back into the game.
With a 17-0 lead, the Wildcats were forced to punt after a three-and-out, giving the Rams the ball at their own 20-yard line with 12 minutes left in the quarter. ASU drove to the ACU 4-yard line where it faced fourth-and-goal. The Rams lined up for a 21-yard field goal attempt, but instead the holder Zach McCormick picked up the ball and scampered into the end zone to make it 17-7 with 6:05 left in the third quarter.
But ACU responded with a big drive that was highlighted by a big play by redshirt freshman Mitchell Gale.
On third-and-15 from his own 40, Gale found senior Dennis Campbell deep down the middle for a huge 42-yard gain that put the ball on the Rams' 18-yard line. Three plays later, Daryl Richardson found the end zone from five yards out -- his third rushing touchdown of the night -- to make it a 23-7 game with 3:43 to play.
The ACU defense then forced a three-and-out after the Wildcats swarmed the Rams deep in their own end of the field. The Wildcats got good field position at the ASU 38 and Gale hit Terrell Woodall for 13 yards to the 25. On second-and-11, Gale hit Richardson for 16 yards down to the 10-yard line to set the Wildcats up for another score.
The Rams made about their only defensive play of the night when Calvin Fance -- who entered the game with seven sacks -- dropped Gale for a seven-yard loss back to the 16-yard line. But the redshirt freshman from Alva, Okla., responded with a bullet over the middle to Reggie Brown, who caught the ball in stride and stepped into the end zone for a touchdown that made it 29-7 with 14:12 left in the game. Gale then capped the drive with a 2-point scoring pass to Chris Fowler to make it 31-7 and essentially put an end to the game.
The Wildcat defense then forced back-to-back turnovers with an interception by Drew Cuffee and a sack and forced fumble by Fred Thompson. After the fumble, the Wildcats iced the game when Richardson scored his fourth touchdown of the night on a 4-yard run that pushed the lead to 38-7 with 8:34 to play.
Richardson finished the night with 88 yards and four scores on 24 carries, while Gale was efficient, completing 18 of 24 passes for 218 yards and one touchdown.

The new XJ is both aggressive, especially in the front, and sensuous, as in the rear coupe-like swoopiness, in equal measures. It's nothing at all like the outgoing model and is very much the embodiment of where Jaguar is heading in the future — younger, sportier and a whole bunch more "with it."
The chassis is much more a continuation of the current XJ's technology. That's actually a good thing since the current XJ has arguably the world's most advanced aluminum technology. Stiff in the extreme yet noticeably lighter than equivalent sedans sculpted out of steel, the aluminum construction should help both performance and fuel economy.
Like the previous XJ, the 2010 model rides on dual wishbone suspension all round, though the new version only uses air suspension in the rear where the 2009 uses it at all four corners. Jaguar says its new emphasis on sportiness means the front springing has been stiffened already and the continuously variable damping suspension provides much of the same effect as the air bladders did before.
Also making an appearance in the XJ is the new electronically controlled rear differential that first made its appearance on the recently refreshed XKR.
The XJ makes use of the latest series of direct-injected and variable valve-timed 5.0-litre V8s that just started showing up in XKs and XFs. Like those cars, the normally aspirated version is good for 385 horsepower. The supercharged version will sport two configurations, one with 470 ponies and another, in the limited-edition "super-sport" model, 510. While neither is outrageously powerful compared with some of the monster motors coming out of Mercedes and the like, remember that the XJ is constructed of aluminum (with a little magnesium thrown in for even lighter weight) and weighs in at just 1,900 kilograms. The 4.9 seconds Jaguar says the 510-hp version takes to accelerate to 100 kilometres an hour seems very pessimistic indeed. Expect it to be significantly quicker.
Jaguar has really gone to town with the brightwork. Virtually every item in the XJ's interior, from the seat adjuster buttons to the centre piece of the air vents, has some chrome tidbit. Door trim, steering wheel trim, even the surround to the cup-holders is chromed. It's quite a contrast to the subdued Jaguar interiors of old.
It's difficult to not be impressed with the new XJ. With its new engines, Jaguar's promise of competitive performance does not ring hollow. The interior is just the right combination of traditional British warmth and high-tech gadgetry. And, though the styling is likely to polarize a few, it is bold and striking.

2010 Land Rover LR4, Range Rover
The key change for 2010 is the debut of the LR4. Its body has taken on a cleaner, curvier look with a clean bumper that visually lowers the vehicle — a look that is very homogeneous across the line.
All three full-sized Rovers will share this look, and the only key to what sets them apart will be the number of horizontal bars in each model's grille — three for Range Rover and two each for the Range Rover Sport and LR4. This "three-finger" and "two-finger" design feature is carried through the grille, head-lamps, side ports and back to the tail lights.
Under the hood is a new V8 powering all the 2010 big Rovers. It's a 5.0-litre V8 that, in naturally aspirated form, puts out 375 horsepower and 375 pound-feet of torque. This engine offers 25 per cent more power than the 4.4L engine it replaces and has a zero-to-100-kilometres-an-hour time of 7.6 seconds. This will be the standard engine in the new LR4. For the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport, a supercharged 5.0L V8 will also be available, making 510 hp and 461 lb-ft of torque. Acceleration to 100 km/h will drop to less than six seconds. This power will all be pushed through a new six-speed adaptive transmission.
While luxury seems to be the buyers' preference in North America, Land Rover doesn't forget the other 163 markets to which it sells — ones where its Terrain Response system is a class leader. For 2010, the Terrain Response gets an additional sand setting. This is in addition to the standard programmed driving modes — general, grass/gravel/snow, mud/ruts and rock crawl.
For soft sand, the system engages a sand launch control that will make starts easier. The computer is set to target speed-dependent wheel slip for the traction control system and permits only very limited slipping, helping to prevent the wheels digging into the sand.
Also new is a revision to the rock crawl setting that will now apply light brake pressure when the vehicle is in first or reverse and at speeds of less than five km/h. This smooths climbs and drop-offs over boulders. A similar improvement will be had in the Gradient Release Control, which slows the vehicle evenly while going down steep grades.

2010 Porsche Panamera Turbo
Anyone thinking Porsche's new Panamera will be the fastest four-door ever engineered will need to re-calibrate his or her expectations. Sure, the top-of-the-range Turbo version sports 500 horsepower, but that number is bested not only by Mercedes' AMG CLS63 and the more expensive AMG S65 but also the much more modestly priced supercharged Cadillac CTS-V.
What the Panamera brings to the table is intangibles, those attributes that neither dynamometer nor stopwatch can measure. It's that indefinable quality that sees the suspension, steering and powertrain work as a cohesive unit.
Not that the Panamera isn't fast. Outfitted with its PDK seven-speed double-clutch transmission as well as the optional launch control system, the Panamera Turbo will launch its 1,970 kilograms to 100 kilometres an hour in just four seconds. Even the base Panamera S gets there in a scant 5.4 seconds, thanks to its 400-horsepower variant of Porsche's naturally aspirated, DOHC V8; the all-wheel-drive 4S accomplishes the same task in but five seconds.
The surprise is that the fastest (and most expensive) version is not the most satisfying, at least for those drivers for whom sporty motoring is more than just matting the throttle from a stop sign. Bulging with 500 hp and a meaty 516 pound-feet of torque, the twin-turbo'd Panamera is rapid indeed. The downside of all that muscle is a rather abrupt throttle response.
Much more satisfying is the naturally aspirated V8 of the S and 4S. What it lacks in horsepower and torque, it more than makes up in control. The response to throttle tip-in is perfectly linear — as opposed to the Turbo's seeming magnification of your request — so tossing the Panamera through a series of tight corners is far easier. And though it pales somewhat in drama compared with the Turbo, it's impossible to consider the base car as anything but fast.
Inside the Panamera, there is a plethora of buttons controlling everything from the suspension firmness to the throatiness of the exhaust. I lost count after 30 for the centre console area alone.
The rest of the cabin is very satisfying. The instrument panel is very reminiscent of the 911's except that one gauge area is also used for a miniature navigation display in addition to the system's main LCD screen. The seats are nicely bolstered and accoutred.
But the real difference is that the Panamera has a real back seat. Four large adults (the Panamera only comes with rear buckets) can comfortably fit, provided they aren't basketball players (the sloping roofline does limit headroom). Nonetheless, the back seats are not an afterthought. Even the trunk is impressive, swallowing three large suitcases, a computer bag and two motorcycle helmets easily.
What might dampen demand is that the base S starts at $115,100 and the cost of a Panamera Turbo can stretch well past $200,000 if you take the 30 or so pages of options seriously.

He also helped coach two All-Americans at the University of Virginia and numerous NCAA qualifiers at the USMA, Old Dominion University and Slippery Rock U. Coach Baranik has 16 years of head coaching experience at the high school level.
The club will take place every Monday at the St. Andrews wrestling gym from 6:00-7:25 p.m. during two seperate semesters: Oct 15 - Dec 17th and Jan 7 - April 1st. The cost is $50.00 per student per semester. Each athlete must buy an AAU card for $12.00 to cover insurance. For more information call Joe Baranik at 910-277-5012.

Pete Waterman, pop genius and train fan
It might not come as much of a surprise to learn that I, Craig, used to be a trainspotter. I had all the books and everything, wrote all the numbers in a little pad and got really excited when the APT stopped at Kingmoor Marshalling Yards in Carlisle (which was just over the field from the house where I grew up). This might not mean much to those uniniated in the whys and wherefores of the trainspotter but I still get excited when I think of seeing the APT. It probably won't surprise anyone to discover that I was also a bit of a fan of Stock, Aitken and Waterman - not just post-ironically either. I think they are under-rated musical geniuses. Honest.
Well, both of these come together when Pete Waterman (should be Sir Pete by now surely?) visits Lower Marsh today! He's signing copies of his new book A Train is for Life at the Ian Allan bookshop, just up the road from our knitting shop! I'm tempted to take in my original 12" of Kylie's The Locomotion to get signed.....

Oscar snubs leave Golden Globes with also-ran nominees
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Hollywood's junior prom for film honors features quite a different cast than the senior prom at next month's Academy Awards.
Sunday night's Golden Globes are in a rare place this season, coming after the Oscar nominations, which were announced earlier than usual and threw out some shockers that have left the Globes show a little less relevant.
Key Globe contenders lined up largely as expected, with Steven Spielberg's Civil War saga "Lincoln" leading with seven nominations and two CIA thrillers — Kathryn Bigelow's "Zero Dark Thirty" and Ben Affleck's "Argo" — also doing well.
All three films earned Globe nominations for best drama and director. Yet while "Lincoln," ''Argo" and "Zero Dark Thirty" grabbed best-picture slots at Thursday's Oscar nominations, Bigelow and Affleck were snubbed for directing honors after a season that had seen them in the running for almost every other major award.
The Globe and Oscar directing fields typically match up closely. This time, though, only Spielberg and "Life of Pi" director Ang Lee have nominations for both. Along with Spielberg, Lee, Bigelow and Affleck, Quentin Tarantino is nominated for directing at the Globes. At the Oscars, it's Spielberg, Lee, "Silver Linings Playbook" director David O. Russell and two surprise picks: veteran Austrian filmmaker Michael Haneke for "Amour" and first-time director Benh Zeitlin for "Beasts of the Southern Wild."
That forces some top-name filmmakers to put on brave faces for the Globes. And while a Globe might be a nice consolation prize, it could be a little awkward if Affleck, Bigelow or Tarantino won Sunday and had to make a cheery acceptance speech knowing they don't have seats at the grown-ups table for the Feb. 24 Oscars.
That could happen. While "Lincoln" has the most nominations, it's a purely American story that may not have as much appeal to Globe voters — about 90 reporters belonging to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association who cover entertainment for overseas outlets.
The Bigelow and Affleck films center on Americans, too, but they are international tales — "Zero Dark Thirty" chronicling the manhunt for Osama bin Laden and "Argo" recounting the rescue of six U.S. embassy workers trapped in Iran amid the 1979 hostage crisis.
Globe voters might want to make right on a snub to Bigelow three years ago, when they gave their best-drama and directing prize to ex-husband James Cameron's sci-fi blockbuster "Avatar" over her Iraq war tale "The Hurt Locker."
Bigelow made history a month later, becoming the first woman to win the directing Oscar for "The Hurt Locker," which also won best picture. Continued...
Globe voters like to be trend-setters, but they missed the boat on that one. Might they feel enough chagrin to hand Bigelow the directing trophy this time?
Spielberg already has won two best-director Globes, so that might be a further inducement for the foreign-press members to favor someone else this time.
Their votes were locked in before the Oscar nominations came out. Globe balloting closed Wednesday, the day before the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced its awards lineup.
The Globes feature two best-picture categories — one for drama and one for musical or comedy. Most of the Globe contenders also earned Oscar best-picture nominations, including all of the drama picks: "Argo," ''Lincoln," ''Life of Pi," ''Django Unchained" and "Zero Dark Thirty."
Yet only two of the Globe musical or comedy nominees — "Les Miserables" and "Silver Linings Playbook" — are in the running at the Oscars. That's not unusual, though, since Oscar voters tend to overlook comedy. The other Globe nominees for musical or comedy are "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel," ''Moonrise Kingdom" and "Salmon Fishing in the Yemen."
Acting contenders include Daniel Day-Lewis, Sally Field and Tommy Lee Jones for "Lincoln"; Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway for "Les Miserables"; Joaquin Phoenix, Amy Adams and Philip Seymour Hoffman for "The Master"; Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence for "Silver Linings Playbook"; Leonardo DiCaprio and Christoph Waltz for "Django Unchained"; Alan Arkin for "Argo"; and Jessica Chastain for "Zero Dark Thirty."
Globe acting recipients usually are a good sneak peek for who will win at the Oscars. All four of last season's Oscar winners — Meryl Streep for "The Iron Lady," Jean Dujardin for "The Artist," Octavia Spencer for "The Help" and Christopher Plummer for "Beginners" — took home a Globe first.
Jodie Foster will receive the Globes' Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement at the 70th Globes ceremony, airing live from 8-11 p.m. EST on NBC.
There will be a friendly rivalry between the hosts of the Globe ceremony, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. The co-stars of the 2008 big-screen comedy "Baby Mama" both are nominated for best actress in a TV comedy or musical series, Fey for "30 Rock" and Poehler for "Parks and Recreation."
The Globes present 14 film awards and 11 television prizes.

cGMP-Dependent Protein Kinase is a serine/threonine protein kinase present in smooth muscle and a variety of other tissues, including lung, heart and Purkinje cells of the cerebellum. This kinase is implicated in the regulation of smooth muscle relaxation, platelet function, sperm metabolism, cell division and nucleic acid synthesis. The kinase is a 78kDa polypeptide consisting of a regulatory domain and a catalytic domain and is active as a homodimer. Cellular substrates include histone proteins, the type 1 regulatory subunit of cAMP-Dependent Protein Kinase and brain G protein, a novel protein found in the mammalian cerebellum.

Aug 25, 201210Clever, funny action packed realistic romance and great chemistry between the leads. Really what more do you want? The dialogue is great especially in the first third of the movie then the action takes over. Highly recommended.
Aug 26, 20122This movie is just plain dumb. I know they are all friends and made it to have fun, but they could have made a decent product. Anything remotely funny is in the trailers, and the rest of the movie is filled with racist and homophobic slurs. I'm an 18 year old college male and even I was offended and just bored. Skip it. In fact, RUN away (see what I did there? Cuz of the title...)
Aug 25, 20125It's essential that you like Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell before you even consider seeing this film. If you do, and if you keep your expectations at a modest level, it's actually pretty fun. There's just not much to it. Tom Arnold really steals the show, as he does with most movies he's in (see: True Lies).
Aug 22, 20127I think this movie works. There is good chemistry between the two leads, the story is plausible, and the supporting cast is good. The car chases are very good. good mix of funny and action sequences, more like Beverly Hills Cop, or 48 Hours. Don't listen to the reviews.

Aug 24, 20122Huge disappointment. The film was advertised as the comedy hit of the summer, but I chuckled only twice and the rest of the audience seemed to have a similar reaction.
And a small point. The film was rated R for graphic nudity. It should have been rated R for totally gratuitous, unattractive nudity -
Nov 13, 20129Bell and Shepard are a real life couple and it's plenty obvious. They have great chemistry here in a very funny movie. Watch out for Tom Arnold as well. He's hilarious in this.
Nov 14, 201210Really funny movie. I'd rank it with the Hangover. It's just one of those comedies that's gross funny, and really lovable at the same time.
Jan 25, 20136
Mar 17, 20130This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
63It's a rom-com, it's a road movie, it's "Cars" without the animation, it's "A History of Violence" played for yuks. It's all that and less because, really, Hit & Run is awfully hit & miss.
50Burt Reynolds and Sally Field they're not, but you could do worse for mindless late-summer entertainment than Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell in Hit & Run.
Aug 23, 201260Hit and Run works less as a film and more as a likable, semi-documentary romp among friends. The illusion of the drama may be gone, but it's been replaced by something more authentic and adorable. And we might be okay with that.

Today, Apple unveiled the newest version of iOS 7. While the fact that the design was changed radically is not surprising, the actual changes themselves are…confusing.
With Windows (Phone), Xbox, Google, and various other companies taking a "flatter" approach to UI design, it only makes sense that Apple would want to follow the trend of simplicity-- especially now that Scott Forstall, the guy known for the skeuomorphic design elements present in previous versions of iOS. After all, that is what Apple strives for (especially in their hardware).
iOS 7 directly reflects the transition from Forstall to Ive's rule over iOS, but are the changes truly an improvement?
Previously, we went over how the new WebP image format compared to the traditional JPG. One neat thing about WebP is that, unlike JPG or PNG, WebP has the ability to use either lossy or lossless compression, with or without transparency. While JPG is traditionally used to display photos, which have a high level of detail and are generally more complex and can suffer from a little bit of detail loss as a tradeoff for compression, WebP can also be used like a PNG, which is often used for web graphics with transparency or subtle patterns.
There are several kinds of file formats for images on the web. Primarily, web developers use JPG and PNG image files, depending on the content of the image itself. However, Google has made a push recently to use a new format-- called WebP-- that is supposedly more efficient than JPG, yet still has the ability to have transparency. In other words, WebP is the best of both JPG and PNG file formats-- but does it really reduce image file sizes?

Since I originally moved my blog to the Jekyll platform, I've been looking for several ways to push the performance of my website further.
Over the last couple of months, I've been exploring several content distribution networks for my new web course Extreme Website Performance, such as CloudFlare and Amazon's CloudFront, as well as forgoing a CDN altogether and focusing on reducing the number of network requests used (and therefore taking the bottleneck away from the distribution servers).
Recently, a Redditor asked whether it was possible to create a background that looked like a gaussian-blurred photograph with CSS. In fact, it's quite easy to do so using multiple background images and radial gradients.
Google Now is an assistant that is able to learn from your habits and predict your future actions. If you believe this sounds creepy, you're not alone. Many individuals have serious concerns with Google's privacy practices in general, and Google Now is evidence that they are willing to leverage the masses of data available on each of its users.
As long as I can remember, I have used some form of MAMP/WAMP stack for development. I'd download the entire stack pre-packaged with some sort of control console, and develop web applications straight out of my Dropbox folder (with Git as version control), changing the web root of the *AMP configuration depending on which project I am working on.
This worked fine for many years, but recently I've discovered the magic of Vagrant and Puppet.
Conceptually, Facebook Home seems like a fantastic idea-- it places bright, large photos on your lock screen that can be swiped through when you have a free moment, and focuses on your friends. But, there's a fundamental issue with placing user generated content on your home screen.
After a couple of long years using 1&1 Shared Hosting and Virtual Private Servers, I've completely migrated all of my hosting to Digital Ocean and Heroku, and my domains to Namecheap. And after trying to cancel my 1&1 account, I now have complete justification for doing so.
1&1's experience has always been similar to that of a larger company, with over complicated systems and procedures to do simple things. Contacting their support means waiting through a phone queue, domains sometimes can take forever to switch name servers (though the process in itself takes a while on any provider, 1&1 seems particularly slow), and the various FTP and database account management systems are nightmares.

In the context of headphones from women's fashion brands and toy companies, the launch of a new headphone li
In the last year, we've seen lots of super-compact audio systems that sound surprisingly good: the Jawbone Jambox, the Q2 Internet Radio, and the Soundmatters FoxLv2 are three great examples. But the NuForce Cube comes in at just a fraction of their size: The enclosure measures less than 2.5 inches on all its sides. One look at the Cube and it's hard to imagine you'd want to listen to it for long.
But behind the Cube's grille hides what may be the most serious attempt at a 1-inch full-range driver I've ever seen.
A couple of weeks back we took a listen to a couple of DAC/headphone amplifier combo units from ADL and FiiO that did it all — covering your digital audio and headphone amplification needs at home and on the go — but you don't always need to do it all, do you? There are plenty of us who really just need better audio on the desktop. Luckily, you'll find that the market's rich these days with small, do-it-all USB devices meant to do just that — at surprisingly little cost.
Does the iPad have a role to play for audiophiles, or for the new breed of iDevice-inspired audio enthusiasts? It's hard to beat the touchscreen interface for music listening — it provides a tactile browsing experience that hands-down beats the UIs on most high-zoot audiophile servers. On the desktop there are plenty of audiophile file players that load audio into RAM for supposedly improved fidelity — but the iPad offers all-solid-state audio storage to begin with, freeing your bits from jitter-inducing hard-drive-access. But is iOS — and the circuitry within — up to snuff?

Frederic, the Little Fisherman 3 3
Love the little fisherboy! We bought Frederic to sit on our pond's edge and he so compliments the area; the perfect size. The details are great, subdued in coloring which is what we wanted. I'm very glad we bought Frederic! And I have to say, he survived a freeze in Arizona (Feb 2-4, 2011); the spray from the pond's fountain froze on him. See attached picture. February 10, 2011
gorgeous Everyone, who loves his country home! Highly recommend this charming statue.Don't have words to describe how she is gorgeous! The best quality!Thank Galina. January 17, 2011

Patrick Fitzgerald will be a tough act to follow because of his unparalleled passion, dedication, commitment and professionalism. He came here from New York City without any political connections or party affiliation, and that enabled him to go after corrupt public officials in both parties without any political considerations. It also ensured that no one got a pass because of his or her clout, and the best symbol of that nonpartisan, apolitical approach is the two Illinois governors who are in jail today--one Republican, one Democrat. Some say Fitzgerald was overzealous--squeezing witnesses too hard or entrapping unsuspecting politicians with overly-aggressive surveillance tools--but that's the only way you can deal with the insidious power of 'the Chicago way' or the 'the Illinois way.' Illinois is a slightly cleaner state today because of Pat Fitzgerald, and all of us owe him a debt of gratitude.

We should also say thank you one more time to former Sen. Peter Fitzgerald--no relation--for recruiting Pat from NYC. Let's hope that Sen. Durbin makes an equally enlightened recommendation to President Obama for a replacement, and that Durbin considers going outside Illinois for another prosecutor without any ties to the local political parties because that, more than anything, gave Pat Fitzgerald the ability to fight corruption without pulling punches. He arrived here as a bachelor, and he leaves this job as a married father of two children. He's earned the right to move on and we wish him the best.

Ed Cowan is one of the newest members of the Australian cricket team, having played 17 Tests in his relatively young career.
A move to Tasmania in the 2009 season worked wonders for the patient left-handed opening batsman, who has scored consistent runs for his state ever since.
957 runs at an average of 53.16 was the perfect start to his Tasmanian career and kick-started his ascension to the role of Australian opener.
Four centuries in as many tests sent a strong message to Australian selectors before the home series against India, and it was this undeniable form that earned him his Baggy Green.
It was a reasonable debut series for Cowan, who scored 206 at an average of just over 34.
Three half centuries in his seven Tests could worked against the left-hander, who needed a big score early on against South Africa to cement his spot in the side. He scored a century in the First Test of the series.
Cowan was one of the better performing batsmen on the VB Tour of India, scoring the second most runs behind skipper Michael Clarke.
A talented player at state level for years, Cowan just needs to turn his starts into big innings to spark what could possibly be a very bright Test career.

Studio direct instead of combo/stack power amp mode
Like (0)
Does anyone else use this mode instead of combo or stack when hooked up through effects return of your amp???? The reason i ask is because for about a week i have used studio direct mode and reworked a few patches clean- high gain patches and have found a more transparent tone also thicker.
I put the hd 500 down for about an hour last week and hooked up my dual rectifier and cab and jammed out for awhile but when i incorperated the hd 500 back in the power amp section it seemed less transparent. I switched to studio direct output mode and found some really great tones.
I have a pair of Marshall JCM900s and only use the Studio Direct mode into the effects return. I tried all the other settings and methods and Studio Direct works the best for me. I use high gain tones and play live with this configuration.
Thank you for the reply,I don't know why it took me so long to try it, I mean it sounds so full and natural.Even if i throw a cab on for a different voice it sounds clear.I will be sticking to this for now on.
Thanks! Very helpful. It makes sense because it would seem that selecting Studio/direct takes it out of the filter. I had not noticed this, and the result is appreciably clearer.
The bottom line is that whatever sounds right with your rig is 'right'. Personally, I tend to stick with the Combo Power output mode with my JVM. This seems to give me the best balance between mud and too harsh.
I played with Studio direct at one point but found that the tones I was dialing in sounded great when it was just me jamming but when I put them into a rehearsal context they were too 'full' and made the band mix sound muddy. I guess I could have EQd the worst of it out but I just found it easier to hit clearer tones on the Power output mode.
Much of it depends on whether you are using Speakers as part of the amp model. With 'Power' , the speaker models are voiced for live via a real amp. With 'Studio' there is a more complex speaker simulation that is used for the desk. Without speakers, there is no difference between the two modes AFAIK.
I do however find that full amp models often work better in the Power output modes - where one would expect to use a pre-amp model only. This is because, for many amps, a large part of the overall tone is realised in the Power amp so you need it to make the whole lot work.
Again though, if Studio Direct is getting you where you want to be then ... result !!
I use studio direct mode into a Rocktron velocity 100 that feeds my guitar cab. This so far has been the best set up I have found. I run preamp models only with no speaker sim at all. I found that when you run out the pod via 1/4" with output mode set to stack/combo amp, the speaker emulation is still on ( when you use the cab emulation in the pod ), but with a slightly different filter. In studio direct mode no speaker cab emulation is realized even if your using it in your patch. However if you turn off the speaker cab emulation altogether and run out via SD ( studio direct ) or stack/combo they still sound different. The SD sounds to me more clear and focused, while the stack/combo setting still has some sort of filter. The two stack and combo modes have two different settings. One for front and one for fx entry. The front has hi/low and focus parameters. I found them to be useless since I would not ever run this unit into the normal input of an amp. I almost exclusively used the stack fx loop mode during initial testing. Then I accidentally set the SD mode one day and noticed a nicer cleaner sound.
Here is my thought on why. When in SD mode the pod is supposed to emulate the patches as if they were exactly what they say they are. I.E. a Fireball pre should be the preamp of a Fireball..... So if I run the preamp of that amp into my real amp, I should realize as close to the real deal as I could get. No filters, no speaker emulation and nothing in the way to alter the sound. It should be at that point be preamp emulation, power amp and speaker cab. When in any other output mode the pod is trying to emulate and or compensate in some way for what they feel is needed.
I have tried running full amp patches ( minus speaker cab ) into my current set up and found it to not be as good as when using just the preamp. Although the sound is different and not exactly worse, I have found it to be too colored, bright and not as pleasing. I still have some experimenting to do running full amp and speaker cab emulations into an FRFR system, but at the moment for me it's still not quite there. I can get a sound I'm happy with, but I find it harder to build something that blends well in a full band setting for a live situation. close but not 100% yet.
So i did a little side by side comparison last night and pretty much nailed my tone from my Dual Recto. I matched it up using the hd 500 through the effects return of the pwer amp section with no cab sim.
I started with the pre model and got pretty close but with the full amp model lowered the master dep to about 25% and got it even closer.
Im going to use it tonight in a band situation and i"ll post my findings asap.
Stay in the mix and in the know.

Police department spokesman Bruce Frazier said two people reported late last week that they were having problems concerning their personal information.
One person had a credit card company tell him they were processing his request for a card he never applied for, and another person went to file income taxes and learned someone had already filed using his or her Social Security number.
Frazier said the Whitfield County Sheriff's Office has received several similar reports from employees at the company, as has the Murray County Sheriff's Office. He said it's not clear yet whether the identities were stolen because of a cyber theft or because of something else, such as someone physically taking employee information.
"Basically, people are kind of reporting it to the law enforcement organizations where they actually live," Frazier said. "It seems pretty obvious at this point that the workplace being the common factor with all these people, that it's going to have something to do with that."

The GLCCB announced that the building at 241 W. Chase Street, which has been the headquarters for the 36 year-old organization since 1980, has been sold. Closing took place on May 31. The then Gay Community Center of Baltimore, under the leadership of Harvey Schwartz, had purchased the building to fulfill his as well as many other local activists' vision that the Baltimore's gay community needed to have its own space and moved from its rented Maryland Avenue address.
The prevalence of rape, physical violence or stalking by an intimate partner in the LGBTQ community is staggering.
• 43.8% of lesbians and 61.1% of bisexual women,compared to 35% of straight women
• 26% of gay men and 37.3% of bisexual men, compared to 29% of straight men
(Statistics are from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)
A little over a week before Baltimore was to celebrate its annual Pride weekend, a brouhaha developed as City Cafe owner Gino Cardinale and others met with the Mount Vernon-Belvedere Association (MVBA) to discuss issues relating to the block party planned for June 15.
The battle for marriage equality in Maryland was moving into high gear by July 3rd of last year. Polls indicated a tight contest on Question 6, creating much uncertainty and apprehension among the state's thousands of same-sex couples and supporters who were hoping beyond hope that the bill that Governor O'Malley signed into law in March legalizing same-sex marriage would withstand a robust referendum attempt.
As Baltimore Pride arrives this weekend, it is a good time to reflect upon Baltimore's place in the LGBT movement and to appreciate our accomplishments over the years. And from a historical perspective, what we had to do to get there. To that end, there will be two events that shed light on this city's storied LGBT past.
Some of the 80 who purchased tickets for the GLCCB's first annual "Pride with the Orioles" event on June 11. It was the first LGBT group of that size to attend an O's game at Orioles Park at Camden Yards, and organizers hope to increase the participation in subsequent years. A portion of the money collected went to the GLCCB. As for the game, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim was defeated by the Baltimore Orioles of Baltimore 3-2.
