Red Sox designate veteran outfielder Sizemore for assignment
BOSTON — The Boston Red Sox have designated outfielder Grady Sizemore for assignment.
The move comes as Sizemore struggles after injuries sidelined him between September 2011 and this season. He made the All-Star team three times with the Cleveland Indians then had seven operations since 2009, including surgery on both knees, his back and elbow.
Sizemore hit .333 in spring training and started in center field on Opening Day when he homered in Boston's 2-1 loss at Baltimore. But in 52 games, he hit .216 with two homers and 15 RBI.

Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770 Review
So you say you want a high performance computer? You've bought the best components on the market for your build, and now you need that final piece of the puzzle, the processor. Will it be dual core or quad core? Each has its merits. With many of the newer DX10 games starting to use multiple cores, a quad core would seem to be the better choice. You can have a Q6600 that runs at a nice 2.4GHz, but will it be enough to feed the need since you don't want to overclock (blasphemy I say!)? If not, then Intel has something that just might fit the bill. Intel will soon begin selling the top dog in its Core 2 Extreme lineup, the QX9770. Featuring a 1600MHz bus speed, 12MB of L2 cache, 45nm manufacturing process, Hafnium Hi-K metal gates, 800 million+ transistors and running at 3.2GHz, it should more than cover anything you can throw at it.
Will the Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770 be just a speed bump from the 3.0Ghz of the QX9650, or will it be something more? Will the 1600MHz bus speed enable it to perform at a level beyond that of the QX9650? Follow along as I find out!
Closer Look:
The rumor is that good things come in small packages. I guess the definition of good is subject to interpretation. But in this case, the little black box contains the latest and greatest from Intel's Core 2 Extreme lineup, the QX9770. The processor is shipped to us in a foam lined box, the purpose of which is to isolate the processor from damage during transit.
The Intel QX9770 that I received was an engineering sample. This can be good or bad, depending on when it was produced during the development process. Sometimes you get a diamond, sometimes a lump of coal. In other words, the amount of overclocking headroom over the stock speed that you achieve will vary from processor to processor. Is this one a diamond? Let's find out.

New Car Review
2013 Cadillac Escalade: New Car Review
Pros: Upscale ambiance; strong truck-based work ethic; extensive technology features
Cons: Pricey, considering it's built alongside the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon
What's New: New colors; revised grade braking performance
If the producers of "Pimp My Ride" were to select one vehicle that speaks to their production values and audience, that vehicle would be the 2013 Cadillac Escalade. The Escalade and its larger stablemate, the Escalade ESV, were originally intended for the country club crowd, but their design, production and marketing have achieved huge resonance with the night club crowd. The reasons for its success with younger demographics vary but certainly include the Cadillac cachet, a strong mechanical package and a vast network of Cadillac dealers located largely in the country's urban areas.
Regardless of its urban, suburban or rural applications, the Escalade's straightforward mechanical menu and last-century construction have been massaged into two beautifully tuned machines. Its 6.2-liter all-alloy V8 delivers ample horsepower and torque through GM's Hydra-matic 6-speed automatic transmission. The Escalade has rear-wheel drive or available all-wheel drive. Although applying 403 horses to three tons (with passengers) doesn't make for neck-snapping acceleration, the Escalade effortlessly finds its rhythm at legal speeds. For the country club set, the Escalade can tow up to 8,000 pounds of horse and trailer.
Despite these many attractive qualities, the Escalade and its body-on-frame siblings are living on borrowed-from-the-EPA time. Having a body independent from the underlying platform may make for a better truck, but it creates inefficiencies in a world increasingly less tolerant of them. Although GM hasn't confirmed the design path the next Escalade and Escalade ESV will take, they will likely have unitized bodies, less weight and reduced capabilities. But improvements to the Escalade's poor fuel economy are all but certain.
Comfort & Utility
The Escalade's interior is throne-like. You need to step up to get in, and once perched behind the thin-diameter wheel or in one of the other five stations, you have a commanding view of most of what's around you. To their credit, the team responsible for the Cadillac's interior has restrained itself. What a customer receives in today's Escalade is a mature, old-money interpretation of luxury and not the loose-pillow look you'd have received 25 years ago. You can interpret that luxury in one of four trim levels: standard, Luxury, Premium and to-die-for Platinum.
The perforated leather buckets are attractive but provide no more lateral support than a piano stool. And should you want to open up the luggage compartment of the standard Escalade for maximum cargo, the rearmost seats need to be removed rather than simply folded out of sight. The gods lie in the details, and this detailing is at least a decade old. Were you to need this extra capacity often, you'd be better served by opting for the Escalade ESV. Its stretched wheelbase (identical to the Chevrolet Suburban's) and overall length allow 3-row seating plus a huge amount of cargo volume, or 2-row seating and the ability to spend the weekend in it.
Where to begin? Cadillac's team may have started with the more pedestrian Chevrolet Tahoe as its base, but thousands of engineering hours later, you'd barely recognize the brown roots within this very blonde confection. Under the hood is Cadillac's Active Fuel Management technology, which uses computers to monitor the engine's load. If all eight cylinders aren't necessary for forward movement, four are shut down to save fuel. High-tech Magnetic Ride Control suspension is optional. Inside, the leather-trimmed front buckets are both heated and cooled, while tri-zone automatic climate control works to keep everyone comfortable. Touchscreen navigation is standard on all models. On the entertainment side, there's MP3/CD/DVD, voice recognition and a USB port. Bluetooth technology is standard on all models.
Finally, GM's OnStar is provided on all trim levels. Whether you're using it for turn-by-turn navigation, concierge service or an on-road emergency, it can prove invaluable. Its only cost is a subscription fee, though you get a year free when you buy a new Escalade.
Performance and Fuel Economy
Within the Escalade family (Escalade, Escalade ESV and Escalade EXT), there are two available drivetrains. Standard is the 6.2-liter V8, offering 403 horsepower and 417 lb-ft of torque. Opt for the Escalade Hybrid (only available with the standard Escalade), and you'll benefit from a 2-mode hybrid system featuring an electrically variable transmission and a 300-volt nickel-metal hydride energy storage system. The electric propulsion system works alongside a 332-hp V8, displacing 6.0 liters. Both drivetrains are seamless in their operation with prodigious torque, instant off-the-line response and sleep-inducing over-the-road cruising pace. Despite the three tons of mass and the barn-door-like aerodynamics, both the Escalade and the Escalade ESV deliver an EPA-estimated 14-mpg city and 18-mpg highway with rear-wheel drive; with all-wheel drive, it's an estimated 13/18 mpg. With the Hybrid, you'll enjoy roughly 50 percent better efficiency in stop-and-go driving and an estimated 23 mpg on the highway.
For a vehicle based on a pickup-truck chassis, the Escalade and Escalade ESV are remarkably composed with steering, braking and cornering capabilities that generally disguise the body-on-frame Escalade's agrarian roots. We would, however, wish for better on-center steering for better control.
When confronted with a collision scenario, size does matter. At almost three tons, the Escalade will be bigger than most things it collides with. It offers head curtain side air bags with rollover protection for all seating rows, dual front side impact airbags and pretensioners to minimize passenger movement during a collision.
Helping to avoid collisions are StabiliTrak with rollover mitigation technology, standard 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS and the safety of a responsive, albeit thirsty, V8 powertrain.
Driving Impressions
From his or her elevated perch, the Escalade driver enjoys a commanding view of what's going on around the vehicle. But visuals will have to mostly suffice, as the steering communicates little of what's happening at road level, aside from the road imperfections transmitted up through the oversized wheels. The ride and handling balance of the 2012 Escalade is arguably better than it deserves to be (even without the available Magnetic Ride Control), but it lags behind that of several more contemporary competitors.
Other Trucks to Consider
Mercedes-Benz GL-Class: It's certainly more contemporary than the Cadillac, and the available BlueTec diesel makes it significantly more efficient.
Lincoln Navigator: Navigator follows the same (old) school of thought as the Escalade.
Infiniti QX56: Despite its whale-like proportions and similar body-on-frame architecture, the QX sports a King Kong powertrain and delivers a generally more responsive driving experience than the Cadillac.
AutoTrader Recommends
We recommend the slightly more compact standard-length Escalade over the ESV. It's easier to maneuver in tight spots but still provides ample room for people and cargo, provided you don't mind removing the third-row seat when you need to carry something large. We like the Premium package and its rear-seat entertainment package, which makes the miles fly by for passengers on long road trips. With rear-wheel drive, the 2013 Cadillac Escalade Premium is priced at $72,670. For those in cold climates who prefer all-wheel drive, the Premium comes at just over $75,000.

How do your Wellesley and Nantucket customers differ in terms of what they look for?
KIMBERLY In Nantucket, people are often shopping for what they're going to wear that night. They might come in and say, "I'm going out to dinner, and I need a pair of earrings, a cashmere wrap, and a handbag." In Wellesley, customers are less focused on an evening out.
Your business is named for your grandmother, and you've said she's the inspiration behind it. How does her influence show in your stores?
ALEXIS A lot of what we liked about our grandmother's fashion sense was that she was always very stylish and put together, but it looked so easy and functional.
What are you going to wear this fall?
KIMBERLY I'm addicted to cowboy boots. I'm going to incorporate them into almost every outfit this fall.
ALEXIS I love short motorcycle jackets. They look good with dresses, with jeans, with everything. Whenever I come across a little motorcycle jacket — whether in leather or canvas or something that's really inexpensive — I gravitate toward it because it's such a good layering piece. — A.A.Interview has been condensed and edited.

ANNAPOLIS, Md., November 1, 2010 - The BoatUS Foundation's "Innovation in Life Jacket Design Competition" is once again calling for out-of-the-box life jacket design entries.
Five years ago, the Innovation in Life Jacket Design Competition resulted with the introduction of several new and innovative life jacket designs to the public, the US Coast Guard and recreational boating industry. Since then, the interest in new, more comfortable designs has not faded. While current models of life jackets save lives every day, many are still bulky and uncomfortable, leaving boaters reluctant to wear them.
So the BoatUS Foundation, along with Underwriters Laboratories and the Personal Floatation Device Manufacturer's Association, decided another competition was necessary to keep the momentum going to seek out the newest technologies and design innovations that could rethink a 100-year-old design.
"We all have the mindset of what a life jacket looks like - and that's what we need to be challenging," said Underwriters Laboratories' Joe Waters. Entries that embrace new technologies and non-traditional thinking are being encouraged from armchair inventors to high school science clubs and collegiate design programs. There are no rules regarding types of materials to be used or whether the design meets any current US standards. The deadline to enter is February 1, 2011.
The entries will be judged based on four criteria: wearability, reliability, cost and innovation. "Wearability" relates to the level of comfort. "Reliability" will take into account the chances for potential failure, while "cost" will look at the affordability of the design. "Innovation" will take into account originality or the employment of new technologies.
In early February, video of all entries will be posted online at the BoatUS Foundation's channel at YouTube.com, and the public will be asked to select a group of finalists.

Jewish World Review Jan. 2, 2002 / 18 Teves, 5762
Michael Barone
http://www.NewsAndOpinion.com --
Will it work? Initial signs are not entirely encouraging. For weeks Daschle used his power to schedule Senate business to block consideration of measures that he feared would pass on the floor-the economic stimulus and energy bills, trade promotion authority for the president. He supported Senate appropriators in adding to the defense appropriation more than the $20 billion agreed on by the White House for domestic recovery. He has blocked the majority-supported nominations of Labor Department appointee Eugene Scalia and State Department appointee Otto Reich.
But when the Bush White House has put the public spotlight on an issue, Daschle has backed down. The appropriators backed down December 6 when Bush threatened a veto. And when Vice President Dick Cheney accused Daschle of "obstructionism" on December 9-a signal Bush might do the same-and after Republicans made some concessions, Daschle started negotiating in earnest on the stimulus package.
Helping the Dems. Daschle has been forthright on his priorities for 2002. His No. 1 priority is re-electing his South Dakota colleague, Tim Johnson, who won 51 percent to 49 percent in 1996 and has been running no better than even in polls against Rep. John Thune (who was persuaded to make the race by the Bush White House). He wants to help re-elect Democratic senators with serious opposition in nearby Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri. He wants to increase the Democratic majority in the Senate and help Democrats win a majority in the House.
Some Democrats believe-and some Republicans fear-that Democrats can win through confrontation on economic issues. But a poll taken December 2-4 for Carville and Greenberg tends to undercut their earlier memo. True, it does show Democrats ahead when voters are presented with Greenberg's version of party stands on tax cuts and Social Security-results much like those in 2000. But it also shows Republican candidates ahead of Democrats in House races by 44 to 43 percent (Republicans trailed on such questions during most of the 2000 cycle and won anyway), and Republicans doing as well as or better on the economy, taxes, the budget, and even (an issue Democrats thought would work for them) airline security. And it shows voters slightly more likely to blame Democrats if no fiscal stimulus package is enacted by Christmas-a result that Daschle surely noticed. His backdowns on the defense appropriation and the stimulus package suggest that, in the crunch, he is not confident that confrontation with a president with an 80-plus percent positive job rating will win votes for his party.
There have been no signs yet of significant change in the even partisan balance that prevailed in 2000, and in House races in 1998 and 1996 as well. George W. Bush's high job approval does not carry over to other Republicans but does give Democrats reason to be wary of confrontations with him. Since September 11, feeling has been more positive for incumbents of both parties, which marginally helps Republicans since they have slightly more incumbents running in both Senate and House races.
Nor is the recession as big a factor as it was
when most voters could remember how, in the 1930s, one year of
economic downturn led to economic disaster. Even in 1982, when
Ronald Reagan's Republicans lost 26 House seats in a much deeper
recession than we have yet, 15 of those losses (by my admittedly
subjective estimate) were due to redistricting, not recession. In 2002,
Republicans are likely to have a net advantage of five to 10 seats
because of redistricting, which means they are likely to keep the House
if they lose 11 seats because of recession. So far, at least, Daschle's
attempt to win over voters through confrontation on economics hasn't
worked, and control of Congress in 2002, as in 2000, will depend on the
results of a few close

Characterizing and scaffolding students' conceptions of size and scale
Published on
Scale concepts transcend disciplinary boundaries of science, mathematics, engineering, and technology because they are essential for performing explanations, theory generation, observation, and activities associated with design. Current research related to size and scale has identified several different levels of understanding which suggest a developmental trajectory of students' learning of these conceptions. In addition, instructional strategies have been proposed to scaffold students' conceptions of size and scale. The purpose of this presentation is threefold: a) to propose a framework for assessing students' understanding of size and scale cognition and for informing the development of instructional materials, b) to identify students' ability to discriminate finer qualitative units for size and scale of different objects, and c) to identify the effectives of web-based interactive media and potential instructional strategies that may have an impact on students' understanding of size and scale cognition. Participants from an undergraduate level course in educational computing were assigned to one of three online tools designed to convey various concepts of size and scale. Results from pre/post measure illustrate positive effects of these treatments on increasing learners' discrimination and generalization of scale and the scientific nomenclature defining these categories. Limitations of the research will be discussed and input from the audience to overcome those will be sought.

Advice To My Younger Self
The first tip I want to share is about how to get your finances in order. I remember as soon as I was old enough to have a bank account my Mum took me to Natwest and I put all my savings into an account. When I went to University I suddenly had completely different needs to my weekly pocket money! Luckily, Natwest has a really good Student Account so I signed up and want to share my experience getting through those tough financial years!
I'm all about freebies and benefits so I really loved having the account and took full advantage of what you get with it. The biggest benefit to me was the overdraft. I didn't even understand what this was until I had this account. Basically it's an arranged amount of money that you can use, interest free, that in time you can pay back. It's a really good safety net between bills going out and money coming in, or during those terms where things got a lot more expensive! You can apply for up to £500 in Term 1 and up to £2000 after that. So it makes a huge difference. It's so easy to apply for this account online, and it really helped me going into the branch and talking to someone about the amount I had coming in and what would be a sensible overdraft to have. Then when I left University, I chipped away paying it back and it didn't cost me a thing.
You also get a Coach Card so things like 1/3 off standard adult coach fares in the UK with National Express and 10% off coach fares to places in Europe with Euroline. Oh and my personal favourite, 10% off travel to festivals in the UK for when you need to let your hair down after all the exams! I do everything on my phone so you also get online and mobile banking. Something I use a lot now is paying people using just a mobile number which is really good for paying mates you owe money to or paying your landlord! You can also transfer money between accounts using your app which is really handy if you're out and about and need access to money quickly! You can also set up texts to tell you when you're close to limits so you don't have to worry that you'll accidently go over. Getting your finances in order is really important and it can be quite daunting, so make sure you check out the Natwest Student Account here http://goo.gl/pwP9wV.
So with your money in order, now it's time to find a job! When I left University I applied for as much work experience as possible and this really helped me build up my CV. I had a part-time waitress job to get me through, so be prepared to work doing something completely different whilst you get the experience you need elsewhere. I had a journalism degree, so I applied to every newsroom and offered to do absolutely anything and work every shift no one wanted to! In time, my experience and contacts built up, so I applied for about 50 junior positions from researchers to runners, and I finally landed my first job in London! Those first six months were key, and I would advise you to put your social plans on hold and just to work as hard as you can and meet as many contacts as you can because it really pays off.
Finally, do something you enjoy. I hit a real low when I left University because so many of my job applications were rejected. I found that when I went to companies and roles within them that really suited me, I was so much more productive and also so much happier. Don't be afraid of being knocked back, it happens to everyone, and it's really good life experience that will make you stronger.
So whether you're just about to start uni, are halfway through your exams or are ready to carve your career after leaving, I'm wishing you all the best of luck and really hope this helps! So I'll leave you with one of my favourite quotes "Good things don't come to those who wait, they come to those who work really hard and never give up"

We've got here our very first entry for "The $100.00 (USD) Coolest Linux Workspace Contest". It's from Mauricio, a Music Theory student. If he wins the contest, he says that he will be using the money to buy a USB mic for some serious music recording.
Check out Mauricio's Fedora Linux workstation:
Owner's note: My current system was built about a year ago and I do NOT dual-boot. I have been using Linux for almost two years. I started with Fedora, but tried other distros and always come back to Fedora.
I'm running Fedora 12 64-bit and I am waiting for Fedora 13 to be released... I can't wait! One of the monitors I cannot get to work... there was a bug in the first nvidia kmods, but it seems the patch has been implemented for a while now, but I never bothered to mess with my xorg.conf anymore since Fedora 13 is around the corner.
Thank you Mauricio and good luck!

Cooler Master USNA95 Ultra Slim Notebook Power Adapter Review
When it comes to mobility everything is important - especially size and weight. The more devices you carry with you when traveling, the more power adapters you need to keep those devices working. Unless that is, you have an all in one solution, which usually weighs a ton and never powers every device that you need. Travel aside, what happens if one of your power adapters stops working? Usually you have to pay over $100 for an OEM adapter that again only works with that one device, leaving you packing more and more later on. The price just does not seem feasible. Well, Cooler Master has been producing replacement notebook adapters to aid you in making life easier. They have taken all of their design knowledge and poured it into designing the world's smallest and lightest 95w adapter - the USNA 95. The Cooler Master Ultra Small Note Book Adapter 95 not only provides power for your portable computer, but your other portable devices as well such as iPod, cell phones, and more. Now for less than the price of replacing your OEM adapters, you can have that all in one solution saving you weight, time, and expense.
Closer Look:
The Cooler Master USNA95 comes packaged in a sleek box with a window showing you the design without having to remove it from the packaging. This open view lets you see the slim and small style of the Ultra Slim Power Adapter. You may notice on the front that the adapter has received the 2010 iF Product Design Award as well. On the rear there is another window showing you the types of tips that are available. I would urge any potential buyer to verify that their devices will work prior to purchasing the power adapter through Cooler Master's Website. On the rear there is also a list of some of the impressive features that the USNA95 has included. Flipping over to the side there is a list of the specifications and the brands of notebooks that are supported with the adapter.
The power brick and accessories are placed into two separate compartments to keep them from shifting or being lost during shipping. This also protects the parts from being damaged by rubbing up against each other. Included with the power brick are the AC cable, power tip cable, cable clamp, power tips, user guide and a carrying bag to keep everything together.
Now that we have everything out of the package, we can get a better look on how everything works.

Missoula's Economy Will Miss Football Playoff Games [AUDIO]
One way or the other, the Montana Grizzly football season will come to a close on Saturday with the 112th 'Brawl of the Wild' with the MSU Bobcats.
Up until 2010, the Grizzlies had made the FCS playoffs for 19 straight years, many of which included at least one home game. Director of the University of Montana Bureau of Business and Economic Research, Patrick Barkey, says the enormous spending power of thousands of visitors before and after the game is difficult to quantify, but impossible to deny.
Hundreds of motel and hotel rooms, restaurant meals, gasoline, and of course, retail spending. Since the playoffs take place over the holiday period, most visitors take time in downtown stores and the Southgate Mall purchasing gifts to take home.
Aside from the direct economic benefit, Barkey says the promotional factor of seeing the University of Montana portrayed on national television on networks like ESPN, is invaluable for recruiting and for fundraising.
The Montana State Bobcats will leave Missoula Saturday, and win or lose, will head to the playoffs, while the Grizzlies will rebuild, reload and look to next year.

Google has released some really killer services over the last several years, and some real flops too. Unfortunately, Google Wallet falls into the latter of those categories. Wallet hasn't grown in quite the way Google would have liked, for a number of reasons, but Google isn't giving up yet.
Announced today on the Google Commerce blog, Google Wallet will now be integrated with Gmail. By linking the two services, Google users will be able to send money as an email attachment. It's as simple as hovering over the attachment paperclip icon, clicking the money icon, entering the amount of money you want to pay out and pressing send. You can also send money to non-Gmail users.
Right now, Google Wallet integration is only available on Gmail for desktop, but that will be changing in the future. Will Gmail integration push you into using Google Wallet more? Let us know what you think in the comments.

Krokus have announced their new album, "Dirty Dynamite." The album is set for release on March 5th on The End Records. For almost 40 years now, Krokus has stood for high-quality, honest-to-goodness, hand-made power rock. No other Swiss rock band sells albums and its back catalogue worldwide like Krokus. The band has already sold over 14 million records, toured the world, and received gold and platinum discs in the USA and Canada. The milestones in their rock career are dotted around the world: from Australia and the USA to Mexico, Russia, Japan, and China.
But it hasn't all been one long high: death, sickness, and internal strife have pushed the band to the brink of collapse. The story of Krokus is like no other. Dotted with highs and lows, sell-out stadium concerts and sweaty club gigs, these five musketeers of rock have outlasted trends and survived treacherous US managers, tough splits, bad deals, shady lawyers, drugs, awful fast food, endless bus trips, disco, grunge, grotesque record companies, and double-dealing advisors.
Today they are back in their classic line-up plus Mandy Meyer and are stronger than ever on their new album, Dirty Dynamite. The band spent a whole two years working on the new album under the watchful eye of Chris Von Rohr. 'We didn't spend all that time on golf courses or tennis courts. No, we just wanted to make our best album yet, the magnum opus of the new Krokus era," says the hit producer. Guitarist Mark Kohler has this to add: 'This is not just another Krokus album. I think we have definitely passed another rock milestone with this record.'
To reach this goal, no expense was spared; the band booked into the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London. Krokus went back to their roots, back to where it all began with the Stones, the Beatles, the Free, the Who, and the Bluesbreakers; back to where the band headlined concerts in the Hammersmith Odeon, celebrating their first international success. 'The atmosphere there is very special, and we wanted to make the most of that,' says singer Marc Storace. Guitarist Fernando von Arb is quick to add: 'With Dirty Dynamite, we have recorded the urgently needed, dirty kind of rock that no one plays in this country.'

Apple Announce Final Cut Studio 2
Final Cut Studio 2 helps take you beyond mere editing. Discover the intuitive power of new creative tools designed expressly for Final Cut Pro editors. Rapidly move through editing to motion graphics, audio editing and mixing, colour grading and delivery — all as a natural extension of the work you already do.
Final Cut Studio 2 puts a powerful new version of Final Cut Pro at the centre of an integrated post-production workflow. Final Cut Pro 6, Motion 3, Soundtrack Pro 2, Compressor 3, DVD Studio Pro 4 and Color — a brand-new application for professional colour grading — are all included in Final Cut Studio for £849 (Full Version).
Whats new in Final Cut Studio 2?
Open format Timeline
The new open format Timeline in Final Cut Pro 6 lets you mix and match source material in a wide range of formats and even different frame rates. Freely edit a combination of HD and SD, including NTSC and PAL — all in real time.
Apple ProRes 422
Final Cut Pro 6 introduces ProRes 422, Apple's new post-production format offering uncompressed HD quality at SD file sizes. Use ProRes 422 when collaborating over an Xsan storage network or working on a portable computer in the field; when working with non-native camera formats; or to preserve maximum quality for composites and demanding colour grading work.
Real-time professional colour grading
Use Color, Apple's new colour grading application, to create signature looks for projects ranging from short video pieces to full-length theatrical films. Move freely through a set of streamlined workspaces designed for primary and secondary color adjustments, colour effects, reference stills and geometry changes. An easy-to-use toolset helps editors work efficiently, using familiar interfaces and intuitive adjustment tools. Round-trip integration makes Color a seamless extension of your work in Final Cut Pro 6.
3D multiplane compositing environment
Motion 3 makes it easy to create 3D motion graphics by extending the 2D tools you already use into 3D space. Drag and drop camera behaviours to dolly, truck and orbit around a scene or move from layer to layer. Use multiple viewports to adjust cameras, lights, layers and motion paths in 3D space. Then go beyond the basics by bringing elements like particles, Replicator patterns and text behaviours into this comprehensive 3D design environment.
Point tracking and match moving
Set up point tracking or four-corner match moves in just a few clicks using intuitive new tools in Motion 3. Quickly attach text, particles or any layer to an object in a video clip and follow the movement of the object with pinpoint accuracy. Say good-bye to guessing and repeated trials; Motion identifies the best potential tracking points and dynamically adjusts for common tracking errors.
Image stabilisation and SmoothCam
Motion 3 offers two powerful options for correcting shaky shots. Use the image stabiliser to lock down a shot without the time-consuming setup required by most stabilisation tools. Or use the SmoothCam feature to retain standard camera moves like pans, tilts and zooms while eliminating handheld camera jitters or bumps. Both features are based on sophisticated optical flow technology originally developed for Shake.
Professional multitrack editing
Work more efficiently than ever in the new single-window interface in Soundtrack Pro 2, with tools designed to save you time on common tasks such as selecting takes, spotting sound to video and removing noise from field recordings. Then use a rich palette of audio effect plug-ins, Foley, sound effects and music to add the perfect creative touch to your soundtrack.
Intuitive surround sound
Soundtrack Pro 2 makes it easy to create professional surround sound mixes. Use an innovative surround panner to view a dynamic visual representation of how sound is panned in the surround field. Choose from more than 1,000 royalty-free surround music beds and sound effects; use any of the provided surround audio effect plug-ins, such as the Space Designer convolution reverb, or adapt any mono or stereo effect plug-in for use on surround tracks.
Automatic audio conform process
If you make changes to your sequence in Final Cut Pro, use the powerful new Conform feature in Soundtrack Pro 2 to automatically update your audio project to match the video edit. The Conform feature compares the two versions and highlights the changed audio clips. Confidence ranking, auditioning and intuitive navigation tools help you choose which changes to accept, reject or modify. Then Soundtrack Pro repositions your accepted changes to match the audio edit to the video edit.
Multiformat delivery made easy
Compressor 3 has been streamlined to optimise efficiency for any encoding job, including the output of multiple files to multiple formats. With a customisable interface and drag-and-drop batch processing tools, Compressor makes it easy to create files for delivery on iPod, Apple TV, the Web, DVD, mobile phones, and next-generation Blu-ray and HD DVD discs. This versatility comes through expanded support for leading industry-standard formats, such as MPEG-2 and H.264, as well as chaptering tools for podcasts and Apple TV.
AutoCluster for distributed encoding
Use the Qmaster application included in Compressor 3 to distribute encoding jobs across a network of Mac systems. The new AutoCluster feature in Qmaster automatically configures a cluster of computers based on available resources. For even faster throughput, you can configure Qmaster to manage individual processors in each computer, turning any Mac Pro into a virtual render farm.
Final Cut Studio 2 is due to start shipping in May, So pre order yours now from Dolphin Music , so you get it while its still hot.

In fact, for type purposes, the 1923 Peace Dollar is one of the easiest dates top find in top condition. MS-66 examples are affordable compared to other dates. Though pricey, an MS-67 1923 Peace Dollar can be found with relative ease. Most 1923 Peace Dollars exhibit a strong strike and decent eye appeal. Luster ranges from frosty white to a hard, metallic sheen.

It's no secret. I love to bake. But when time (that little thing we are all looking for more of) is limited, I just don't get to. So when I read about these cookies on Scout's blog, I immediately placed an order. We ordered three different kinds. The chocolate pinon biscotti, the toffee almond biscotti, and the green chile pecan sandia cookies. My sweet tooth was finally satisfied; they are all delicious. The perfect little size. Handmade from someone else's hands and sent right to my doorstep. Gotta love that!

Oh MY those look wonderful!!ReplyDelete
I finished my pink scarf by the way. Mom and I have been knitting together ~ my grandmother is in the hospital so we've been knitting up a storm while there. I was using size 10 needles on the scarf and my Dad said they looked like drum sticks. LOL
Mmmm, for some reason that photo makes me want to have a cappaccino too!ReplyDelete
Ooh-la-la, do those look delish! Temptation, thy name is Leslie :o)ReplyDelete

Bradford striker Leon Osborne is expected to miss the midweek home clash with Lincoln.
Osborne was forced out of Saturday's 2-2 draw at Chesterfield with a hamstring strain and if he fails to make it Omar Daley will be recalled to the starting line-up.
Skipper Simon Ramsden could be named on the substitutes' bench after a long-term hip/calf injury.
Ramsden was expected to return at Chesterfield, but tweaked his back in training and was left out of the squad as a precaution after being sidelined since August.
Manager Peter Taylor, under pressure to turn around the Bantams' fortunes after his side have collected one point from their last five league matches, will be without midfielders Tommy Doherty (ankle) and Lee Bullock (thigh) and defender Steve Williams (hamstring).
New signings Ali Fuseini and Scott Spencer will be included in the Lincoln squad.
Attacking midfielder Fuseini has signed a contract until June 2012, while striker Spencer has agreed a deal until the end of the season.
Fuseini could come into contention for a start, but Spencer is likely to be on the bench.
"I've spoken to Scott and because we are firing up front at the moment, I've told him that he won't start," said City boss Steve Tilson.
"He has a fantastic attitude and that's what I am after. We need people involved who might be on the bench, but even then will not have the hump."
Gavin Hoyte remains available after extending his loan from Arsenal. The defender made his comeback from a hamstring injury with a late substitute appearance during the 1-0 home win over Port Vale on Saturday.

In modern Greek, K is pronounced like a hard C just as it is in English,
i.e. the Cyclades (Κυκλάδες) are pronounced as Kiklades.
Was this also the same for Ancient Greek? Therefore the following place names were also pronounced with hard "C"s:
Cilicia (Κιλικία)
Cyrenaica (Κυρηναϊκή)
If this is the case then why do we pronounce these place names with soft Cs in English? I.e. for Cyclades in English we say "Siclades" not "Kiklades" and for Cyrenaica we say "Sirenaica" not Kirenaica".

1923 New York Yankees World Series Press Pin
Starting Bid - $500, Sold For - $3,231
Rare and historic New York Yankees World Series press pin dating from the club's first World Championship in 1923. The Yankees played the New York Giants in the 1923 World Series, but because the Series was held exclusively in the newly built Yankee Stadium, only one press pin was issued for the Series. However, as the host club, the Yankees were responsible for the design and distribution of the pins. The circular pin incorporates a patriotic red, white, and blue enamel color scheme within a bat-and-ball motif. The lettering reads "World Series/Press/1923/New York." The Yankees christened their new stadium by defeating the Giants in six games to capture the franchise's first World Championship. This is a particularly rare press pin from the 1920s. Manufactured by Dieges & Clust; threaded-post back. Diameter: 1-inch. Ex-Mt. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000+. SOLD FOR $3,231

Later this month, BC Place will be host to the 2012 CONCACAF Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament. For many players on the team, this won't be the first time playing in front of fans in Vancouver, as the squad includes 14 former members of Vancouver Whitecaps FC. Over the next two weeks, whitecapsfc.com will be profiling each of these players as we get set to support our fantastic Canadian women!
For the vast majority of players on the Canadian women's national team, preparing for the CONCACAF Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament is nothing new. Most of them have been through this before; many have played in multiple World Cups and Olympics tournaments. But for former Whitecaps FC player and North Delta native Chelsea Buckland, this month's tournament will be a fresh experience.
At the tender age of 21-years-old, Buckland is the only player on the roster who will be playing in a senior international tournament for the first time. That being said, this still won't be her first time playing for the women's national team. She's played in three friendly matches, making her international debut in a 1-1 draw against Switzerland on May 15 of last year, while recently netting her first international goal in Canada's 2-1 win over Sweden on November 22.
"In the style when we're playing with two centre forwards, she really understands how to move with and for the other forward," said women's national team head coach John Herdman to The Province last month. "And then she goes and scores a goal against Sweden. It makes all the difference."
The native of North Delta, BC, is no stranger to being a difference-maker. Collegiately, Buckland has led her Oregon State University Beavers in scoring for the past two seasons while playing alongside fellow Whitecaps product Jenna Richardson.
Much of Buckland's confidence was developed while playing for Whitecaps FC. She blossomed with the Whitecaps Prospects program in 2008, scoring 11 goals in the Pacific Coast Soccer League despite missing a third of the 16-game season. She then made the jump to the W-League, recording two assists with the 'Caps women's team in 2009.
Now, with confidence in hand, Buckland is taking her game to the highest level, making an impact for her country on the international stage.
"She came into the Sweden camp and certainly did some things that caught our eye," added Herdman. "She moves well, the timing of her movement is good, she reads the game well."
And making her major tournament debut in front of her hometown crowd? What could be better.
