John and Ian, WGI 2015
"Box Six" was officially launched in August of 2008 and is a collection of our body of work from 2005 to the present. The main difference between this site and the many other sites available is that every single piece of music found on Box 6 is composed and arranged by the same two people. We (John Mapes and Ian Grom) met at Cal State University Long Beach in the music department in the Fall of 1998 and started actively working together from 2004 to the present. With over twenty five years of experience between us, a current output of around 10 shows a year, and a history of success at every level of the activity, we are confident in our signature sound and approach to the world of pageantry and are excited about offering these productions to the general public.
Our fresh approach to Marching Band composition comes from a unique blend of elements: The painstaking development of pacing and effects taken from our experience in indoor percussion, the wide variety of musical influences we both bring to the table from our years as professional musicians/arrangers/composers, the seamless blend between winds and percussion that is present from the very conception of the production, the time-tested wisdom of what works and what doesn't in real life, and the drive to constantly push the creative envelope with every production we put our name on.
The recordings you hear throughout the site were all created with the most cutting edge technology available and we believe them to be unrivalled in today's market. Innumerable hours are spent to achieve as accurate and thorough of a playback as possible to give you the best source for how to fine tune your Box 6 show in the live situation. Powered by 3 custom audio PC's, a separate Pro Tools rig for live tracking, and a massive 500+ GB sample library, the Box 6 production studio is one of the most advanced workstations around solely dedicated to the marching arts. However, there are no sounds or effects heard on the recordings that cannot be replicated in a live environment. We pride ourselves on being able to accurately reproduce the production quality of our recordings in a live performance situation.
We have experienced most of the shows on this site up close and personal. We have experienced the flicker of an idea turn into a rough sketch which turned into World Championship success. This body of work is not just a business for us, it is a large part of who we are. We hope you and your students can enjoy it as much as we have.You can email Box Six at: email@example.com

Standard-Speaker wins 2 awards
The Standard-Speaker earned two awards in the Pennsylvania NewsMedia Association's 2013 Newspaper of the Year contest, which recognizes exceptional journalism among newspapers across the state.
Hazleton's newspaper won first place for general and departmental news coverage, and second place for layout and design. In the annual contest, newspapers are judged in 12 categories, and the Standard-Speaker competes in a division for daily publications with circulation under 20,000.
"The first-place honor is a testament to the broad, quality coverage - from hard news, to feature stories, to community announcements, to sports, all supported by excellent photography - that the Standard-Speaker shares with readers every day," Mark Katchur, managing editor, said. "The second recognizes our fine presentation, including award-winning front pages, that helps deliver the news in a compelling and visually appealing way. I am proud of the staff for these achievements, and our journalists should be proud of their work."
In all, the three Times-Shamrock newspapers in Northeastern Pennsylvania garnered 10 awards in the contest, with The Citizens' Voice in Wilkes-Barre earning five and the Times-Tribune in Scranton capturing three.

The Status of Quaking Aspen (Populus tremuloides) in the Sierra Nevada
Quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) is the most widespread tree species in North America. It provides great benefits where it occurs as forage and habitat for wildlife. It also acts as a fuel break and retains much more water in the environment than do most conifer species.
- To review the literature on quaking aspen in the western U.S.
- To elucidate the potential effects of climate change on aspen
- To provide land managers the tools with which they can monitor, understand, and potentially restore aspen stands on the landscape.
Application of Research Results
This report also summarizes the latest research on sudden aspen decline, or SAD, a climate-related phenomenon that is affecting the interior west of the United States but has not yet been seen in California. In consultation with aspen experts, we developed a survey in order to establish baseline health of trees and potentially detect the early arrival of SAD in California. The links below provide information for land managers to begin to understand the potential effects of climate change on quaking aspen.

Glam Media Forges a Global Empire Focused on Women
Since launching over seven years ago in a Victorian house on Downey Street in the Haight, Glam Media has grown into a top-ten online media company with a global audience, mainly women, focused on its aggregated, curated lifestyle content.
SF Street Style: High Contrast + Rocker Chic in Hayes Valley
I caught up with Nadiya Suwardi, an associate at Prada, while shopping in Hayes Valley. Nadiya exudes this very cool, rock 'n' roll confidence, but has a killer sweetheart smile to balance the toughness. The contrasts -- two-toned hair, delicate yet badass tattoos, the floral-on-leopard prints, and how the flirty hemline of her dress falls so nicely into a chunky heel -- are what make this look really great.
SF Street Style: Vintage Lace Dress + Gold Kate Spade Sandals in Hayes Valley
When she's not pushing the boundaries of "business casual", Arielle Ring, a NYC-turned-SF finance star, plays dress-up in her vintage finery.
This Week in Fashion: Simply Chic Launches Online Designer Consignment Shop
Earlier this week, the Chanel-obsessed Marina consignment shop, Simply Chic, launched an online shop offering gently used designer bags and accessories. The select luxury goods are all in good-to-mint condition, and each piece is curated by the owner, May Warren. We took a browse through the constantly growing vintage-to-contemporary collection, and found everything from Lanvin pumps and Hermes watches, to Marni handbags. Take a peek our top picks (above).
SF Street Style: A Bright Orange Jacket, Man Espadrilles + a Whole Lotta Prada on Market Street
Photos by Lily Ko
Through a storm of Memorial Day shoppers, a swift flash or orange caught my eye. There was Marvin Brooks, a Prada Women's RTW specialist at Neiman Marcus, decked out in Prada, (naturally), and looking oh-so fab.
What he's wearing: Tie-dyed dress shirt, striped square-end tie, dark denim jeans, and chunky blue-green-brown oxford-espadrilles, all from Prada. Vivienne Westwood ring purchased in the London VW store, Prada glasses from Glitter Optics, navy belt from Zara.
7 Must Shop Consignment + Non-Profit Shops for Designer Clothing, Handbags, Shoes and More
With countless weddings, lawn parties and BBQs to attend, who can afford to wear a new designer frock to each event? My secret is consignment. Buy mint-condition pieces for a discounted price, sell your next-to-new goods, and sometimes even help a great charity. Check out these 7 must-shops:
1. Helpers House of Couture: International style icon and philanthropist, Joy Bianchi, turned her love of fashion and good deeds into this 9-room, 100% charity-driven boutique. It features everything from couture to brand-new, an entire men's room, a jewelry room, and one room where everything is under $100. Not to mention, it was named one of the 10 best fashion stores in Vogue's Best Dressed special edition last year. Prices range from $10-$10,000.
Style Profile: Edric Chew on How to Rock Designer Menswear
The key to rocking the runway look on the street has always been to mix and match designer pieces with everyday staples. Edric Chew, a 29-year-old registered nurse, does just that by mixing Louis Vuitton with Urban Outfitters, for a night on the town in Union Square.
Chew likes to have fun with fashion, and is known for his flashy signature style. His outfit above shows how to polish off a low-key look by investing in strong designer accessories. In fact, his ultra-luxe shoes were the first thing to catch our eye. With designer wardrobes, it's all about building. For both guys and girls, a solid pair of designer shoes definitely build a foundation, and will last a lifetime.
Aprizi Gives Big Love to the Little Guys
Fashion is fast, and we, savvy shoppers, are always on the prowl for the next big thing. Sure, H&M is a staple and we love mega fashion houses like Prada, but isn't it great when you find a unique item from an amazing, emerging designer?
Aprizi, a NYC-based startup, is taking a new approach to online shopping by filtering out the big brands and only featuring high-quality independent designs. Think Design*Sponge meets ShopStyle.

Nokon Mountain Bike Derailleur Cable Kit $0.00
Are Germans more precise engineers? Or are we merely marveling at a tiny subset of the population that seems to come up with amazing solutions for just about everything? Regardless, Nokon cable housing was brought to life by those same amazing Germans. As opposed to standard housing, which either has wound metal or straight metal sheathed in plastic, Nokon uses aluminum sockets that have bulbs on the end of each socket. The result is a light, stiff housing system that can make impressively tight bends and won't rust. Inside the aluminum housing is a Teflon liner that the cable travels on with near frictionless efficiency. Each kit comes with enough housing for a complete bike and two derailleur cables. Available in Black, Blue, Red or Silver and the cables are only compatible with mountain bike shifters.

Can these be cut like regular cables or no?
The cables can be cut easily, just like normal. The housings never need to be cut. Instead, they snap together and you build little segments as needed.


text: Robotic Cardiac Surgery(Robotic-assisted Cardiac Surgery, Robotic Heart Surgery, da Vinci Surgery)Procedure overviewRobotic cardiac surgery is a form of heart surgery performed through very small incisions in the chest. With the use of tiny instruments and robotic devices, surgeons are able to perform several types of heart surgery in a way that is much less invasive than other types of heart surgery. The procedure is sometimes called da Vinci surgery because that is the name of the manufacturer of the robot often used for this procedure.Robotic surgeries have been used for a number of different heart-related procedures, including valve surgery, coronary artery bypass, cardiac tissue ablation, heart defect repair, and tumor removal.Reasons for the procedureThe main advantage of robotic cardiac surgery is that the procedure is minimally invasive compared with other forms of heart surgery. Smaller incisions mean that you can heal faster and return to activities more quickly.Your doctor may recommend robotic cardiac surgery if you need an artery bypass procedure to improve blood flow to the heart and reduce chest pain. Your doctor may also use robotic cardiac surgery to:Repair or replace stiff or leaky heart valves to improve their functionCorrect atrial fibrillation, a common type of arrhythmiaRemove a tumor in the heartTreat congenital heart conditionsYour doctor may have other reasons to recommend robotic cardiac surgery.Risks of the procedureOne of the main advantages of robotic cardiac surgery is that it minimizes many of the risks related to major heart surgery. The doctor does not have to cut through the breastbone to open your chest, so many of the complications involved with such a major surgery are eliminated.Robotic cardiac surgery still requires anesthesia before the procedure and, as with any kind of surgery, there are always risks involved, including:Heart attackStrokeInfectionDeathThere may be other risks, depending on your specific medical condition. Be sure to discuss any concerns with your doctor before the procedure.Before the procedureAs with any surgical procedure, your doctor will do a full assessment of your health to make sure you are a good candidate for robotic heart surgery. Factors including your age, medical history, and lifestyle, as well as the overall severity of the disease, will determine whether you are a good candidate for the procedure.During the procedureThe following is the general sequence of events that will most likely occur during robotic cardiac surgery:You will be placed under general anesthesia for the surgical procedure and a breathing tube will be placed.A surgeon will make a series of keyhole-sized incisions on the side of your chest. These incisions will align with the openings between your ribs.Depending on the procedure being performed, several precision-guided robotic arms will be inserted into these incisions.These robotic arms hold and manipulate tiny instruments in order to perform the required tasks on the heart or surrounding arteries.A tiny video camera will be inserted into another incision to provide a magnified, three-dimensional image of the operating site.The surgeon will control the robotic arms and camera from a special console located within the operating room.On completion of surgery, the surgeon will remove the instruments and close the incisions.After the procedureOnce the robotic cardiac surgery is complete, you will be moved to the recovery area to be monitored. You can expect a relatively short hospital stay to follow, usually half as long as that following conventional open heart surgery. Your doctors will typically discharge you once your pain is under control, you can retain liquids without nausea and vomiting, and you pass a number of lab tests.The less invasive nature of robotic cardiac surgery also means that you can expect less scarring on your chest. Conventional heart surgery may leave a 10-inch scar on your chest. Robotic cardiac surgery just leaves a handful of smaller scars on the side of your chest.Postsurgical pain also tends to go away much faster than with traditional procedures. After being discharged from the hospital, most patients can manage their pain with over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin).You may also return to normal activities more quickly than you would after a conventional heart surgery. Most people can resume their normal activities after three weeks. Specific recommendations for activity will be provided by your doctor. Your doctor will typically schedule follow-up appointments after the procedure to check your progress. Be sure to notify your doctor immediately if any symptoms occur after the procedure, such as chest pain or discomfort. Complications are rare after robotic heart surgery, but possible, so it is important to carefully monitor for any symptoms and report them to your doctor.

Floridi, Luciano (2008) Against Digital Ontology. [Preprint]
Download (482Kb) | Preview
The paper argues that digital ontology (the ultimate nature of reality is digital, and the universe is a computational system equivalent to a Turing Machine) should be carefully distinguished from informational ontology (the ultimate nature of reality is structural), in order to abandon the former and retain only the latter as a promising line of research. Digital vs. analogue is a Boolean dichotomy typical of our computational paradigm, but digital and analogue are only "modes of presentation" of Being (to paraphrase Kant), that is, ways in which reality is experienced and/or conceptualised by an epistemic agent at a given level of abstraction. A preferable alternative is provided by an informational approach to structural realism, according to which knowledge of the world is knowledge of its structures. The most reasonable ontological commitment turns out to be in favour of an interpretation of reality as the totality of structures dynamically interacting with each other. The paper is the first part (the pars destruens) of a two-part piece of research. The pars construens, entitled "A Defence of Informational Structural Realism", is forthcoming in Synthese.

By DAVID CHERNICKY Daily Press
March 2, 2002
Newport News police and federal agents are working diligently to recover 16 semiautomatic pistols and two rifles stolen from pawnshops before they are used in violence. Authorities say they have no doubt the high-powered weapons have fallen into the hands of street criminals. The Denbigh Pawn Shop and the Cash Quick Pawn Shop were broken into in January, and 18 guns stolen. Only two have been recovered. "We're very concerned and we are working hard with" the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms to investigate and find these guns, said Officer Dierdre Raines, police spokeswoman.

Pawn Proprietor - Vic Cullen
November 9, 1989
Vic Cullen of Time Pawn Shop in the Phoebus section of Hampton believes in his business. But when he bought the firm 15 years ago it wasn't up to par and he had to overcome an image problem. "Pawnbrokers have had bad reputations in the past," he says. "They were viewed as sleazy characters." Cullen thinks there is a definite need for pawn shops. "I consider the pawn shop the poor man's loan company," he says. "Some people are in a bind and only need a few bucks to make it to the end of the month.
Suspects In Burglaries Have Not Been Charged
By CHERYL L. REED Daily Press
May 21, 1992
Two men named in court documents as participants in the burglary scheme of two Newport News police officers have not been charged with any crimes. Police officials will not say why the men are free, but other officers say the men have not been charged because they are cooperating with the investigation. The two men, identified in court documents as Benny Kaddour and Neal Powell, were roommates of a friend of officer Chad Davisson. The friend eventually came to police and agreed to work as an informant to help investigators nab Davisson and his student patrol officer Kyle Baxter.
Police Collect Evidence In Pawnshop Robbery
By DAVID CHERNICKY Daily Press
September 12, 1998
A man who pistol-whipped two employees at Time Pawn Shop before stealing handguns and jewelry Thursday apparently left some evidence - his blood. Police believe the assailant cut himself when he smashed cases displaying the jewelry, pistols and revolvers. "He left his blood all over the gun case," said Vic Cullen, owner of the Phoebus business. Hampton police have no suspects in the afternoon robbery and beating, Cpl. Jeff Walden said Friday. The pawn shop's 64-year-old manager and a 56-year-old female employee were treated for bruises and cuts on the face and scalp and have been released from Riverside Regional Medical Center.

A man charged with possession of stolen property has led police to a rented storage shed where detectives found a cache of high-powered pistols and revolvers and men's jewelry. Hampton police identified 13 of 24 handguns found in the storage unit at 491 Denbigh Blvd., Newport News, as stolen from Time Pawn Shop, 1 N. Mallory St. in Phoebus, Cpl. Jeff Walden said. Detectives also seized a large assortment of men's rings and gold chains believed to have been taken in the armed robbery.
Courts - Newport News/norfolk
March 17, 1989
NEWPORT NEWS A 31-year-old Norfolk man has been indicted in U.S. District Court for illegally purchasing several handguns from two Newport News pawn shops. Edward Lee Smith, who is barred from owning a gun because he was previously convicted of a felony, allegedly purchased a 9mm Llama pistol and 9mm Norinco pistol from Colony Pawn shop in April 1988. He also allegedly purchased a .380 caliber AMT pistol and 9mm Intratec pistol from The Gun Box in June 1988, court records say. According to the four-count indictment handed down be a federal grand jury March 14, Smith in both instances failed to disclose on the federal firearms application that he was a previously convicted felon and he illegally took possession of the guns.

Parker pleaded guilty Monday and may be called to testify against Bryan and Danville, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Alan M. Salsbury.

A man who escaped from a South Carolina prison March 17 was captured Thursday without incident at the Golden Sands Motel. Hampton police had been looking for 33-year-old Keith Bernard Sims since March 28, when the escapee's name showed up on a pawn shop's records as a customer who traded in a microwave oven for cash, Detective Sgt. Jimmy Murphy said. While conducting surveillance Thursday, police found Sims and the man accused of springing him from prison at the Golden Sands on North Mallory Street.
Citizen Helps Catch Suspect

October 5, 2004
A pawn shop manager called the daring customer who led police to an accused gun thief "my hero for the day." Kim Palmer was checking out the assortment of tools at Cash Quick of Colony Pawn Shop in Denbigh about 12:45 p.m. Monday until he heard the shatter of glass in another part of the store. The sudden noise also distracted manager Olga Garza, who was at her desk auditing the inventory of guns. A young man she recognized from an earlier visit slammed his elbow into the display case, breaking the thick glass.

NANCY, France, April 18. WHEN the French Nationals started last week, there was no questing that Laure Manaudou was the premier female swimmer at the competition. Yet, she still went out of her way to solidify that status.
On the final night of the event, Manaudou added titles in the 1,500 freestyle and 100 backstroke, posting impressive triumphs in each discipline. After lowering her own French record in the metric mile (16:16.18), Manaudou claimed the 100 back crown in 1:01.26, easily ahead of the 1:01.75 turned in by Alexandra Putra.
A triple-medalist at last summer's Athens Olympics, Manaudou finished the French Championships with five gold medals and a pair of second-place finishes. Aside from the 1,500 free and 100 back, she bested the field in the 50 back, 400 free and 800 free. Her silver-medal showings arrived in the 200 freestyle and 200 individual medley.
Manaudou, though, wasn't the only athlete to add to a championship haul. En route to winning the 50 breaststroke in a championship-record mark of 28.19, Hugues Duboscq handed himself a trifecta in the breast events. In the women's 50 breast, the title went to Camille Muffat in 32.90.
In the men's 1,500 free, Sebastien Rouault hit the wall first in 15:14.95 and defeated Nicolas Rostoucher, the national-record holder. As for the 100 back, Pierre Roger prevailed in 56.07, followed by Simon DuFour in 56.68.

How do you like them apples?
Before Argo, before Gigli, Ben Affleck was actually known as an Academy Award-winning screenwriter. He and Matt Damon wrote Good Will Hunting, which was released 15 years ago today.
Daman plays 20-year-old MIT janitor Will Hunting who is discovered to be a genius after solving an algebraic graph theory. After getting arrested, the professor who wrote the math problem, Stellan Skarsgård, is able to get Hunting released but under two conditions: weekly math lessons and he has to visit a therapist, Robin Williams, who won a Best Supporting Oscar for the role. Oh, and Affleck plays his knucklehead loser friend.
Damon and Affleck initially wrote the story as a thriller with Hunting being targeted by the FBI to become a G-Man after being discovered to be a genus. It was Rob Reiner, president of Castle Rock Entertainment, who suggested to the duo to drop the FBI angle and focus on the relationship between Williams and Damon.
Despite winning the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, rumors followed Damon and Affleck that they didn't write the screenplay alone and were helped by script doctors (a common practice in Hollywood). Noted screenwriter William Goldman said he read the script and offered suggestions to Damon and Affleck but denies contributing to the screenplay. In his book, Which Lie Did I Tell?, Goldman writes, "I think the reason the world was so anxious to believe Matt Damon and Ben Affleck didn't write their script was simple jealousy. They were young and cute and famous; kill the f**kers."
The studio balked at the idea of Damon and Affleck starring in the movie and wanted Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio for the roles. Affleck also wanted Kevin Smith, whom he worked with on Mallrats, and later Chasing Amy, to direct the movie but Smith said they needed a "good director" and that he only directs his own screenplays (Smith was responsible for Miramax picking up the project). Mel Gibson, Michael Mann, and Steven Soderbergh were considered as directors but Damon and Affleck were able to get Gus Van Saint to helm the project.
The movie, produced on a small $10 million budget, went on to gross more than $225 million in theaters, earn nine Oscar nominations, and skyrocketed the careers of Damon and Affleck, for better or worse.
Where to watch: Good Will Hunting is streaming on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and iTunes.

Some terrific art exhibits — notably "Patti Warashina: Wit and Wisdom" at Bellevue Arts Museum — are already on display, while others en route to Seattle (Seattle Art Museum's "Peru: Kingdoms of the Sun and Moon" chief among them) should make it a fine fall season for the visual arts. Here are six well worth investigating.
Bellevue Arts Museum: "Patti Warashina: Wit and Wisdom" (through Oct. 27). A glorious survey of the Seattle ceramic artist's career. Warashina's work is fanciful in spirit, pointed in message and wizardly in its technique, making this show a must-see.
Frye Art Museum: "BUSTER SIMPSON // SURVEYOR" (through Oct. 13). This retrospective of the Seattle activist-artist's career ranges from sculpture to video to photographs, as it chronicles Simpson's antic, subversive approach to public art and environmental statement.
- Power restored after major, hour-long outage in downtown Seattle
- Trump, Clinton win Washington state primary
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Seattle's vanishing black community
- Boeing plans hundreds of layoffs in local IT unit
Most Read Stories
Greg Kucera Gallery: "Roger Shimomura: An American Knockoff" (through Sept. 28). Seattle artist Shimomura takes on an array of mischievous guises (Superman, Popeye, George Washington and more) in these self-portraits that comment wryly on the Asian-American experience of all-American icons.
Henry Art Gallery: "The Photographs of Ray K. Metzker" (Sept. 21, 2013-Jan. 5, 2014). The black-and-white photography of Metzker makes spare but daring use of shadows, silhouettes, unusual perspectives, multiple exposures and selective focus. This retrospective, organized by Kansas City's Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, covers more than five decades in Metzker's career.
Seattle Art Museum: "Peru: Kingdoms of the Sun and the Moon" (Oct. 17-Jan. 5, 2014). Three thousand years' worth of Peruvian art, including sculpture, metalwork, painting and textiles, will be on view in this major exhibition, which covers Peru's indigenous cultures, Spanish colonial influence and the blending of the two by the time the 20th century rolled around.
Photo Center NW: "Holly Andres: The Homecoming"
(Oct. 24-Dec. 15). Portland photographer Andres conjures visions of an American suburbia continually tipping toward "Alice in Wonderland" territory. Populated mostly by children and female figures, these vivid color photographs bring a surreal spin to the ordinary.
Michael Upchurch, Seattle Times arts writer

When was the last time you crawled around your home on your hands and knees? As strange as it sounds, give it a go. Kids explore their everyday environments, so it's crucial to check things out from their perspective to make sure your home is safe.
And though we often think of babies and toddlers when we hear the words "babyproofing" or "childproofing," unintentional injury is the leading cause of death in kids 14 years old and under, with more than a third of these injuries happening at home.
Household injuries are one of the top reasons kids under age 3 visit the ER, and nearly 70% of the children who die from unintentional injuries at home are 4 years old and under. Young kids have the highest risk of being injured at home because that's where they spend most of their time.
Supervision is the best way to prevent injuries, in the home and out, but even the most watchful parents can't keep kids completely out of harm's way every second of the day.
Here are some simple ways to help prevent injuries in your own home.
The common causes of home-injury deaths are fire and burns, suffocation, drowning, choking, falls, poisoning, and firearms. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), most home accidents happen where there's:
You can take precautions to make these places safer, but the most important thing to remember is to watch young kids at all times. Even if your home is childproofed, it only takes an instant for babies and toddlers to fall, run over to a hot stove, or put the wrong thing in their mouths. Your watchfulness is your child's best defense.
However, accidents will still happen, so it's important to be prepared. If you're expecting a baby or have kids, it's wise to:

Xbox 360 Sales Down, Profits Down, Revenue Is Up; Xbox 720 Hints
By William Usher 5 years ago comments
Quarterly results are in for Microsofts Xbox division and despite a lot of downs the company is overall seeing a lot of ups. Also, there was a comment about future products and services, which hints at Microsofts next-gen plans.
According to GameIndustry.biz, Microsofts Xbox division profit margins for the first quarter of this year fell below those of 2010. Q1 2011 seen MS raking in an impressive $352 million with more than 2.3 million Xbox 360 units moved, down from 2010s $386 million and 2.8 million Xbox 360 SKUs moved.
Revenues in Microsofts Entertainment and Device division were up, mainly due to digital sales from Xbox Live, bringing the total division revenue to $1.96 billion, up from 2010s $1.75 billion. Although, that number will probably get curb-stomped when Activision releases their quarterlies after Modern Warfare 3 drops.
Peter Klein, chief financial officer at Microsoft dropped a few comments, one of which was actually interesting
"We saw customer demand across the breadth of our products, resulting in record first-quarter revenue and another quarter of solid EPS growth," "Our product portfolio is performing well, and we've got an impressive pipeline of products and services that positions us well for future growth."An impressive pipeline of products and services , eh? On the low-end of the media speculation train that would simply mean their ITV services and a pipeline of products would contain things such as Kinect exclusives and Halo 4. On a more wildly speculative note that could imply a pipeline of hardware that includes the Xbox 720, which is being rumored for release during the holiday of 2013. The only reason you could take that last line as a hint at the Xbox 720 is because he explicitly infers future growth as the reason for the pipline of products and services as being impressive. But thats just speculation folks take it as you will.

When I first started 22RF target shooting in the 1960's, it was BSA 12/15's that we used at our club. I have always liked then, and have seen some excellent sporterized versions here in the UK.
There is some good information here

Nice group...sorry about the flier. So it goes. (sigh)
While admiring the big bore Martini's and their falling block action I found that BSA made target rifles that used a similar action. After a short search I found one and brought it home with me. /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" " border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> I've fired it now and am much more impressed than I would have imagined. This is one fine rifle. The action is simple, yet smooth and easy to use. The accuracy speaks for itself in the attached image. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tumbs.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" " border="0" alt="tumbs.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tumbs.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" " border="0" alt="tumbs.gif" />

On Saturday, the Missoula Mobile Vet Center was parked at the Tremper Shopping Center off of Brooks to assist area veterans. The mobile unit provides veterans with any service they're able to get from a Vet Center, such as counseling, referrals, and help signing up for VA healthcare.
Saturday's event was collaboration between the Missoula Vet Center, the local VFW post and Ace Hardware. Organizers estimate that roughly 200 veterans came through during the course of the event.
"This is a really important link, to have an event like this, to come together and maybe find those veterans who fall through the cracks," said Brian Becker, a Missoula Vet Center outreach coordinator. The center works with combat veterans, survivors of trauma and their families.
Saturday's event ran from 7:00 am to 2:00 pm

We are becoming increasingly aware in the western world of how quickly economic and living conditions can change. Many people are experiencing first hand the challenge and insecurity that drastic change can bring.
But while this is a new reality or experience for many of us, most of us have never really been affected by extreme poverty. We've never had to be reliant on aid organisations for our survival or that of our families. Yet that is what one in seven people on our planet have to do. Not by choice but by necessity.
It's hard to imagine what that must be like and at times impossible to see how we can change it. But it starts with walking in someone else's shoes and consciously thinking how it could be different. People don't choose poverty, but they will choose to step out of it if they can. All they need is a little help, and we see that for some, we can be that help with a simple organisation.
We don't have a grand plan, instead we focus on the simple things that work. Things like training in conservation farming – so people can feed themselves, drilling and maintaining bore holes – so people have access to clean drinking water, refurbishing mothers waiting shelters – so mothers can give birth in safer environments and school refurbishments – so children can safely attend school.
You can help today…

FRESNO, Calif. - Looking ahead to its second straight week of home action, the Fresno State volleyball team (10-8, 4-2) announced Monday that it will move this Saturday's home match with Air Force an hour earlier to 11 a.m.
The October 19 contest at the Save Mart Center was adjusted to help the Falcons (4-13, 1-4) with their adjusted travel plans since they will now play a previously-postponed match at Boise State on Sunday.
The Falcons picked up their first league victory two weekends ago vs. Wyoming (3-1) - its first decision over the Cowgirls since 2003. Other Air Force victories this year have come via Long Beach State (who received votes in the national poll that week), at Navy and vs. UC Riverside.
This Thursday, October 17, the `Dogs open the weekend against New Mexico (14-3, 5-2) at the Save Mart Center at 7 p.m. with one of their toughest tests of the year.
The Lobos beat MW preseason favorite San Diego State last weekend (3-2) in Albuquerque to cap a three-match conference win streak, and its only MW losses are to returning conference co-champion Colorado State (3-2) and UNLV (3-1).
Fresno State comes off a pair of home sweeps last weekend of San Jose State and Nevada and hit .376 and .317, respectively - its first- and third-best hitting marks of the year.
Among other Bulldog news on Monday, junior middle blocker Maci Murdock was awarded her first Mountain West Volleyball Player of the Week honor career-wise.
The middle blocker from Turlock, Calif., did not commit an attack error last weekend, and posted the team's two highest hitting marks of 2013 vs. Nevada (.750) and SJSU (.727) to give her six +.600 totals in 2013.
Her combined weekend averages topped the squad for hitting (.737) and blocks (1.50 per set), and she stood fourth in the MW this week in hitting (.380). In conference play, she leads the league in hitting (.436) by .039 this week and stands seventh in blocks (1.32 p/s).
Catch the Wave: Promotions-wise this week, Thursday's match is 'Homecoming Kickoff Night', while Saturday's match is 'Salute to Services Day'.

ATHENS, Ga. --- The Georgia football team returned to the practice fields Thursday afternoon in frigid conditions for its second practice session of the week.
"Spring practice is always about getting back to the basics in square one," said center David Andrews. "We're competing everyday. We still have a lot to work on, but everyone is competing and playing fast. We're all looking forward to Saturday."
Georgia has seven practices remaining before the annual G-Day spring game arrives on Saturday, April 6. Georgia will also practice two more times after the spring game.
Thursday was also Georgia's Pro Day. Seventeen former Georgia players spent much of the morning working out in front of NFL staffs.
"If you looked at how hard they all worked [in their drills] and how smooth they looked, you could tell there are going to be a bunch of Bulldogs out of this class making it in the [NFL]," said head coach Mark Richt.
Richt said that he hopes Georgia will have more than ten players drafted in April's NFL Draft. The most Georgia players ever taken in a single NFL Draft stands at eight.
On Saturday morning, Georgia will hold its first scrimmage of the spring at Sanford Stadium.
Saturday's scrimmage is closed to the public. The annual G-Day game will be held on April 6.

|Norwegian Refugee Council/Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (NRC/IDMC), North-east India: 6 million internally displaced by monsoon floods and landslides , 11 July 2012, available at: http://www.refworld.org/docid/5003befe2.html [accessed 25 May 2016]

Since the onset of heavy monsoon rains in late June, an estimated 6 million people have been internally displaced by floods and landslides caused by flash floods in north-east India.
Assam has been worst hit and the authorities struggling to cope with 2.2 million people forced to leave their homes across 27 districts. According to the State Disaster Management Authority, currently 395 government run relief camps provide shelter for more than 150,000 people. Many other IDPs have taken shelter with friends and relatives, are staying in camps set up by aid agencies, or simply on roadsides and embankments.
In 2011, IDMC reported that an estimate of at least 76,000 people have remained displaced by episodes of conflict and violence which date back to the 1990s. These IDPs remain of particular concern as this current disaster compounds existing vulnerabilities such as access to basic necessities such as food, clean water, shelter and health care.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you ticket during school breaks, summers and interims?
YES. The Parking Services office enforces all parking rules and regulations year-round, even when classes are not in session.
I have a carpool (on a hook) permit but I don't have it with me today. What should I do?
There are four options:
You may come into the Parking Services office and request a free one-day temporary permit.
You may use a meter or pay station ($1.00 an hour for locations other than Lot 15, which is $1.50 per hour).
You may call our office to let us know and provide your name, license plate number and vehicle information and the lot you are parked in for the day.
You may opt to park on the city streets.
I just received a parking ticket that I feel was unjustly given. What should I do?
You have the option to appeal the ticket. An appeal is due in the Parking Services office within 72 hours after the ticket is written (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays). The appeal may be submitted via our website or in writing on the Parking Ticket Appeal Form that is provided in the Parking Services office or on a plain sheet of paper. Please remember to include your name, address, ticket (citation) number and explanation. Written appeals may be mailed, faxed to (920) 424-0906, emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com or brought to our office. There is NO guarantee the ticket will be voided.
I have a guest speaker or perspective employee coming to campus. How can I ensure that he/she is not ticketed?
It is the policy of the Parking Services office to offer non-compensated guest speakers for classes or other academic events and perspective employees free parking permits. It is necessary for the hosting department to secure this permit prior to the person's arrival. Requests may be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com or forms may be completed in the Parking Services office. Once the request is sent or form is completed and returned to the Parking Services office, a free special permit will be issued and the host will be notified when the permit is available for pick-up. It is suggested that the host inform the guest how the permit should be displayed and the location of the lots where the permit is valid. If you have any questions on how to display the permit or where the permit is valid, please ask us when picking up the permit.
If I put my flashers on, will I still get a ticket?
YES, if you are parked in violation of parking rules with or without flashers, you will receive a ticket.
What forms of payment do you accept?
The Parking Services office accepts cash, check, credit or debit cards (Visa, MasterCard or American Express) or if you are a UW Oshkosh student, payment can be billed to your student account or you may use money on your TitanCard or Reeve Memorial Gift Card. Also, ticket payments can be made online through the Pay a Ticket button in the upper right section. Full-time employees of the University can also have the cost of parking permits deducted from their payroll checks. This is only an option for permits purchased near the beginning of the academic school year.
I have tickets that I can't afford to pay at this time. Does the Parking Services office take charge cards?
YES, the Parking Services office accepts Visa, MasterCard and American Express. If you are a current student, we can also add the charges to your student account at your request.
What kinds of parking permits are offered?
For the types of permits we offer and the pricing, please see the Permits section of our website.
When does my parking permit expire?
All parking permits have the expiration date on the face of the permit. If you have questions about your permit, please call our office at (920) 424-4455 or email us at email@example.com.
I have a disabled hang tag or license plate from the State of Wisconsin. Where am I allowed to park on campus?
As long as you display both a valid UW Oshkosh parking permit AND your disabled hang tag or license plate, you may park in ANY disabled space in any of the lots on campus.
How are parking rates determined?
Parking rates are determined by the costs of facilities, maintenance, administration, security and enforcement. These costs are then passed on as user fees to those who use the parking facilities.
What should I do if I am selling/trading in my vehicle and getting a new one?
If you have a sticker permit affixed to your vehicle, please remove your permit before selling or trading in your vehicle. Bring the permit (it will likely come off in pieces) to the Parking Services office for a new permit to put on your new vehicle. If you need help removing the permit, you may park in the 15-minute spot in Lot 15 and come to our office to request that we assist in the removal of the permit. Failure to remove and return your permit from your old vehicle may result in a replacement charge for your permit.
If you use a plastic hanger (carpool hook) with your permit, please just call the Parking Services office at (920) 424-4455 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com to let us know your new vehicle's information.
How do I arrange for group parking for an event at UW Oshkosh?
For event parking information, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com with specifics about your event, such as name and location of event, date(s), arrival and departure times, and approximate number of attendees. An email response will be sent to notify you of any parking accommodations.
When is the Parking Services office open?
Our office hours of operation are Monday through Friday 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The office is closed on holidays observed by the University. However, rules and regulations are enforced 24 hours per day all year long, regardless of whether or not classes are in session.
What should I do if the parking lot I normally park in is full?
We encourage everyone to allow some time before their class / work / activity to find a valid parking spot. If the lot you normally park in is full, please continue to look through the other lots where your permit is valid. There is almost always a spot open; however, it may not be in the closest, most convenient lot for you. You may have to walk a small distance. Please see the parking map for other lots where your permit is valid.
Where does the money go from permit fees and parking tickets?
The Parking Services office is a self-supporting enterprise. All revenues collected through permit sales, visitor fees and parking tickets stay in the department to help defray the cost of maintenance projects, building of new parking facilities, salaries of staff and to make payments on the bonds associated with previously built parking structures.
I have a parking permit but I am leaving the University. Can I transfer the permit to another person?
NO, due to the demand for parking permits, it is the best and fairest policy to offer that permit to an individuals on a waiting list. Also, permits are associated with specific license plate numbers, and if the permit does not match the license plate, the permit may be considered stolen and any vehicle displaying the permit may be ticketed and towed at owner's expense.
If I am leaving the University after a semester and I bought a year-long permit, can I get a refund?
You may be eligible to receive a prorated refund if you bring an identifiable portion of the permit to the Parking Services office. Parking Services will then process the prorated refund, minus a $5.00 service charge.
I have a night class or a job off of campus and don't want to walk to my car alone at night. What can I do?
Call the University Police at (920) 424-1212 and request a Safe Walk with Community Services Officers. They are available to escort you during later evening/early morning hours. For more information on Safe Walk, please visit the University Police website.
I will be using the Halsey computer lab after midnight. Where can I park?
Commuter students who have a valid parking permit and are working in the Halsey computer lab after midnight may park in Lot 17 (located on Scott Street) by calling Parking Services and leaving your name, license plate number, vehicle make and color, as well as the date and time. Persons who do not have a parking permit may call with their name, license plate number, vehicle make and color, as well as the date and time and then buy a one-day permit from our office within 24 hours of calling. This is only valid for as long as you are working in the computer lab.
Are there any Resident Parking Permits left for the current academic year?
Please see the Permits section of our website to see how permits are issued, or contact the Parking Services office at (920) 424-4455 or firstname.lastname@example.com to find out if we still have permits available.
How is it decided who will receive a Premium or Regular Resident Permit and who will receive a Remote Lot Resident Permit?
During the first few weeks of July, all of the students who are signed up with Residence Life to live in a residence hall for the next academic year will be sent information in the mail and/or email about applying for a resident parking permit. Each student who would like a permit is required to return the permit card so we receive it by July 31 or complete the online form by July 31 to be included in the lottery. The requests that are received in our office by the deadline date are sorted by the number of credits the student has already completed. Graduate students and seniors will receive permits first, then juniors, etc. Permits for reserved and Regular Resident first followed by remote lot permits. The first class that we don't have enough Regular Resident Permits to give to EVERYONE in that class then goes into the lottery. The remaining Regular Resident Permits are given out by lottery. The rest of the students are assigned a Remote Lot Resident Permit, as long as there are enough permits available.
Is it true I can park on campus during the weekends for free, without a permit, and not receive a parking ticket?
YES, as long as you are parked in a legal, non-reserved space, you may park in any University lot between 4 p.m. Friday until 6 a.m. Monday without a valid permit or paying a parking meter or pay station. However, do not park in fire lanes or reserved spaces. Please be aware that enforcement will resume promptly at 6 a.m. on Monday morning.
I have a guest coming to visit me on campus. Where can my guest park?
Visitors can purchase a daily (valid 6 a.m. – midnight) parking permit for $3.00 per day at the Parking Services office or University Books & More. For overnight parking, visitors may purchase an overnight visitor permit at the Parking Services office for $7.00 per night. Based on Residence Life policy, a visitor staying as a guest in a residence hall may only purchase parking for two consecutive nights. The overnight visitor permit will only be valid in the High Avenue Parking Ramp on level one in a non-reserved space until 9 a.m. the following day. Please remember to bring along the vehicle make and color when purchasing any permit. Alternately, a person may pay at a pay station in the ramp at the rate of $1.00 per hour.

I love my new wetsuit. I just used this wet suit to dive in a range of water temperatures 80 degress F to 72 degrees and i was never cold. The " lock" feature at the wrists and ankles worked great and the soft inside was so very comfortable. Even when putting it on for the 4th dive of the day, 10 days in a row I looked forward to wearing it. The ankle and wrist area do keep damp with repeated dives but even when putting on damp it was super comfortable and you warmed up immediately after zipping in. It made my trip to Indosesia unforgettable! I am so glad I purchased it. I have worn 4 other 5-7 mm wetsuits even the one that is made just for your body and this by far has been the best warm and comfortable suit I have worn in the past 13 years of diving. Joan Lange

The face is exceptionally large and very easy to read. There are so many different capabilities with this computer. I really like things simple and you can still use this computer easily with a bit of reading to navigate through the different screens. I will let you know how easy it is to change the setting for nitrox soon! I really like the quick release option so when leaving gear you can take it with you without taking your entire regulator. Worked out great this last week in the keys. Joan

Data Virtualizer Actifio Raises $100 Million And Eclipses $1 Billion Valuation
Boston's newest billion-dollar tech company is in a market you may not even know exists: copy data virtualization. The new 'unicorn' is Actifio , which has raised $100 million at a valuation of about $1.1 billion led by growth investment specialist Tiger Global Management.
A slew of existing venture investors joined in the round, with North Bridge, Greylock, Advanced Technology Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, and Technology Crossover Ventures all re-upping alongside Tiger Global, which has made a name for itself in recent years through savvy late-stage investments in tech like Facebook, LinkedIn LNKD -5.51% and Yandex.
"All of last year, the simple focus was in scaling our business," says CEO Ash Ashutosh. "The last three quarters we were figuring out how to scale, and the one factor that was a constraint was speed of time. Now this helps me grow as fast as possible."
What Actifio does is to virtualize, or make physically independent, the large amounts of data a business would want to keep as a copy for backup purposes, testing, and other potential uses like compliance. The amount of data Actifio is handling is massive–an exabyte of data and 55 petabytes of physical storage capacity–and the subscriptions it's selling aren't small. Mid-market customers typically pay about $200,000 a year, versus $1.8 – $2 million for larger companies. Actifio claims it can drive down IT costs for customer's data copying by 90% overall.

Beach beauty
BY Alison Zell body+soul
For quick and easy beach-babe glamour, try these tips.
The beach can be a confronting place. But you can appear effortlessly chic with some clever, understated, sun-savvy cosmetics.
Make-up artist Nadine Monley says minimal is best when it comes to beach make-up.
"If you want to look a bit glamorous on the beach, keep it natural," she says. "Less is more, but you can really work a tinted moisturiser and a lip stain because it can be used in so many different ways."
Sunscreen should be your priority, says Terry Slevin, chair of the Cancer Council's Skin Cancer Committee. "We recommend you use sunscreen that is SPF30+, broad spectrum and water resistant rather than cosmetics that contain SPF. If you use cosmetics with sunscreen, remember the protection only lasts two hours so it's important to reapply if you are outdoors."
The Cancer Council has released a line of cosmetics containing sun protection factors of at least 25.
Monley says: "To keep your face protected, apply a waterproof sunscreen first and then a tinted moisturiser with SPF and wear a hat. If you're going swimming, remember make-up is going to move anyway."
If you're more of a sand dweller than a swimmer, Monley says many products can be applied so it doesn't look as though you're wearing make-up.
She recommends a tinted, oil-based foundation such as Chanel Vitalumière Aqua Ultra-Light Skin Perfecting Makeup SPF 15, $77, (02) 9900 2944.
"A lip stain is also great to put colour into the lips and you can use that on your cheeks too."
Slevin recommends opaque lipsticks to provide protection against UV rays. "They usually contain titanium dioxide, which will provide an SPF of at least 10, but use an SPF30+ lipstick."
From beach to bar
Monley says it's easy to make your look go from day to night. "For mascaras, you can't go past Maybelline Great Lash Waterproof Mascara, $15.95, 1300 369 327. It is great value and a really good colour."
She recommends using the Chanel Illusion D'ombre range on the eyes or as highlighter on the cheeks, depending on the colour. "The eye shadows are easy to apply quickly after the beach."

Visit I Love Long Toes
Heads Up!
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
I have something to tell you and it's something I've hidden for far too long. Here goes, folks: I Love Long Toes. I haven't kept my love hidden because there's something wrong with lengthy digits, though, because they're perfect. Instead, my own, rather stubby, set made me feel pretty inadequate, until this site showed me I should just sit back and enjoy myself.
After all, it's not my poor feet that are on display on ILoveLongToes, but instead those of hot chicks lucky enough to be blessed with long, thin feet with equally long and thin toes. These women are amateurs in the porn biz, but if you can tear your eyes away from their toes long enough to look northwards, you'll see that they're also hot enough to be fashion models.
These babes and their lengthy digits co-star in 183 videos. You can both stream the movies in Flash and download the flicks in Windows Media format. First, you can read a brief description of the movie that gives the name of the model, as well as describes the size and look of her feet.
The movies vary a little in quality overall, but the newer scenes have good-quality playback. The older ones aren't so high in quality, but they still look pretty decent. The camera never veers far from the main attraction, with most of the running time in these three to five minute-long scenes focused on the feet. Most are full-length films, but a bunch are also broken up into multiple clips.
You can also check out 134 photo galleries. With high-res shots, these give an even closer look at the long toes than the videos allow. You might not be able to see them in motion as they flex, but you'll have a great view of every one of their creases and curves. You can view them online in a hands-free slideshow, but unfortunately there's no Zip file option to let you quickly save the whole set.
The amount of bonuses is even slimmer than the toes, though. Only two games are offered as extras, but they both fit the site's theme. One is the game of Memory, where you have to flip cards over and find matching pairs, only instead of looking for symbols, you're pairing up photos of cute feet. The other is a Tetris game that shows you more and more of a pair of sexy feet with every line that you clear.
The site updates one to two times a week. For the most part, you're looking at one new vid each week, with the odd additional update being a photo set. It's got a decent amount of each though, so since I Love Long Toes is also long on quantity and quality, foot fetishists will enjoy it quite a bit.
