Bass, hitters lead Padres past Strasburg
WASHINGTON, D.C. John Baker thinks he knows the cure to what ills the Padres.
"Every night, we convince ourselves that we're facing one of the two or three best pitchers in the game," the reserve catcher said Tuesday afternoon after the Padres made quick work of their long-awaited inaugural meeting with native son Stephen Strasburg to defeat Washington 6-1 at Nationals Park.
"Roy Halladay, Stephen Strasburg, no problem."
Baker, of course, was joking.
But in the span of four days, the Padres became the first team since 2009 to hand two-time Cy Young Award winner Halladay two losses in the same season, then scored four runs on Strasburg in the span of four innings.
Not only did the Padres defeat the 23-year-old Strasburg with the bat, their own Anthony Bass out-pitched the former San Diego State All-American, allowing one run – 19-year-old Bryce Harper's second homer in as many games – on five hits in his second eight-inning effort over his last four starts.
"Anthony was outstanding," said Padres manager Bud Black. "He was in control of this game. It's a big step, going up against a guy like Strasburg and beating him."
Black was talking about his pitcher. But he might as well have also been talking about his hitters, who struck for four runs on seven hits – including a third-inning homer by James Darnell – against a heralded right-hander who in his seven previous 2012 starts hadn't allowed a run before the fourth inning.
The Padres, who struck for three in the first Tuesday, were paced by Will Venable and Baker.
Venable fell a home run short of being the first Padre to ever hit for the cycle, going 4-for-5 with a double, a triple, two singles, a stolen base and a RBI.
Baker was 3-for-4 with a double and three RBI.
Baker's rain-delayed, two-run, two-out single in the first capped the biggest inning against Strasburg this season.
The first opened with lead-off man Venable hitting a high fly to short left center that fell in for a double as Nationals left fielder Roger Bernadina, center fielder Rick Ankiel and shortstop Ian Desmond all pulled up expecting someone else to make the play.
After Cameron Maybin struck out, Chase Headley walked on a full-count pitch. Yonder Alonso then drove in Venable with a line-drive single to right to make it 1-0. Both Headley and Alonso advanced on Orlando Hudson's swinging bunt in front of the plate. Darnell then walked to bring up Baker with two outs and the bases-loaded.
With the count full, the skies opened above Nationals Park, forcing a short, eight-minute delay. On Strasburg's first pitch after the game resumed, Baker grounded a two-run single to center to make it 3-0. Andy Parrino flew out to center to end a first inning that saw Strasburg give up three runs on three hits and two walks and throw 39 of the 81 pitches he needed to work four innings.
"We got a break with Venable's at-bat and we took advantage of it," said Black. "After that, we had some real good at-bats in the first. We knew we were in tough. And Strasburg was throwing the ball good. But we laid off some borderline pitches."
Baker said he called upon his experience with rain delays as a member of the Florida Marlins to get the best of Strasburg in the first.
"During the delay, I took myself back to those 7,000 rain delays in Florida," said Baker. "You have the advantage if the weather is bad and you enjoy being out there, which I do. And I'm thinking when we get back out there with the full count and the weather, he's going to throw me a fastball, which he did.

Bay Area Power Couples: Michael & Jacky Recchiuti of Recchiuti Confections
It's hard to start a business in the Bay Area. And even harder to make it successful. We're inspired by the couples who have done it together and have decided to highlight them every week in our "Bay Area Power Couples" blog series.
The first time Michael and Jacky Recchiuti met, they didn't hit it off. Then, on a blind date, they met again and realized they actually liked each other. Clearly meant to be together, they channel their chemistry and boundless creativity into making the chocolates and treats in the Recchiuti Confections family.
SF's Top Chocolatier Gets Comfortable
A box from Recchiuti Confections landed on my desk this morning. You know when it's Recchiuti—who I'd deem one of the best chocolatiers in the country—it's going to be something exciting, something refined, something special. But before I even opened the box, I did a little envisioning: Please don't be truffles! Please don't be some fancy chocolate Easter egg!

Replying to activist Arvind Kejriwals demand for arrest of senior officials of HSBC Bank for alleged money laundering for Indian businessmen, the finance ministry said on Saturday that an investigation is in progress in the matter even with foreign tax authorities. The bank and the businessmen named by Kejriwal, however, denied any wrongdoing, while maintaining that there is nothing illegal about overseas arms of Indian companies and non-resident Indians having accounts with foreign banks.
The finance ministry said it has analysed and investigated the information about certain bank accounts reportedly held by some in a foreign bank. Appropriate action has been taken on these cases and further action, including assessment, tax collection and levy of penalty, will be taken as per the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961, and based on the facts of each case, the revenue department stated here. The ministry did not comment on the culpability of the individuals or companies named by Kejriwal.
The government has been maintaining that while action is being taken on the information shared by the foreign government, it is bound by confidentiality agreements not to use such information for anything other than tax purposes.

Garfield County to vote on liquor laws
Petition calls for countywide vote
UPDATED 9:27 AM CDT May 15, 2013
Garfield County voters will have the power to decide if they want liquor sold on Sundays.
Tuesday, enough signatures were certified on a petition calling for a countywide vote. If approved in an October election the proposal would allow restaurants and clubs to sell alcohol between 10 a.m. and midnight on Sundays.
Liquor sales on Memorial Day, the Fourth of July and Labor Day would also be allowed. Thanksgiving and Christmas, however, would remain dry.

Joy Behar Has No Regrets About Bill O'Reilly Walkout (Video)Emma Brady
Joy Behar has no regrets for walking out on Bill O'Reilly during today's episode of The View for what she calls his 'hate speech'. At issue was the proposed mosque near the site of ground zero in New York City. For Joy it was an issue of hate against the entire Muslim religion and she wasn't interested in hearing anymore of his hateful banter. She and co-host Whoopi Goldberg staged a mid-interview walkout.
"Really, is anyone talking about it? He's a idiot," she tells Popeater. "I just couldn't sit there any longer and listen to him."
What else does Joy have to say about the fallout from her very public walkout?
She may not have been able to sit there for the interview any longer, but Joy was able to ultimately return to listen to the rest of the interview.
"No one made us go back out," Behar added of her decision to return. "After he apologized, Whoopi and I walked back out and sat down. I have no regrets."
Joy may have no regrets, but I think Bill O'Reilly may have some second thoughts before he returns to The View anytime soon!
What do you think of Joy Behar's reaction to her Bill O'Reilly walkout?

0 people want to try | 0 have favorited
Roll out the pastry and cut out an 18cm (7") diameter circle. Place a sheet of Teflon Cooking Liner on a baking tray. Prick the pastry lightly with a fork and place it on the Cooking Liner. Roughly chop the pecans and scatter over the pastry. Leaving the skin on, quarter, core and thinly slice the apples. Melt the butter, stir in the lemon juice and toss the apple slices in the butter. Arrange the apple slices on the pastry in overlapping circles, not quite to the edge. Sprinkle with sugar and place in a preheated oven 220?C, 425F, gas mark 7 for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is crisp and the apples slightly browned at the edges. Meanwhile whip the cream, fold in the maple syrup and cinnamon. Refrigerate until needed. Serve the apple tart warm with the flavoured cream. NOTES : This dessert uses red skinned Empire apples which have a crisp white flesh. Empire apples are also good chopped up in salads or eaten on their own. If preferred, you can use this recipe to make four individual tarts instead of one large one.

Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - A pair of free throws by Josh Crittle with 16
seconds remaining helped the Illinois-Chicago Flames to grab a 60-57 win over
the Green Bay Phoenix in Horizon League play at UIC Pavilion.
Crittle finished with 15 points and nine rebounds, connecting on all but two
of his 11 chances at the charity stripe for the Flames (14-8, 5-4 HL) as they
won for the fourth time in the last five outings. Hayden Humes registered 18
points and nine boards, followed by Gary Talton with 10 points, although he
shot just 3-of-10 from the floor on the night.
Green Bay (11-11, 5-4) was paced by Keifer Sykes with 18 points, while Brennan
Cougill chipped in 11 points and Greg Mays 10 off the bench as the squad bowed
for the second time in the last three contests.
Despite shooting just 39.3 percent from the field in the first half, including
2-of-9 behind the 3-point line, the Flames were able to move out to a 28-26
advantage at the break.
In the second half the Phoenix kept things interesting with 52.2 percent
accuracy from the field, but Crittle made sure that the hosts survived.
Green Bay was credited with just six offensive rebounds and turned the ball
over 16 times in the meeting.

Representatives of cooperatives under the International Cooperative Alliance (ICA) will this month meet in Kigali for the tenth international conference.
This will mark the International Day of Cooperatives, under the theme; "Cooperatives enterprise build a better Africa".
"We expect to host representatives from countries; members to the African Union and this is a great opportunity that we shall have to share experience and demonstrate what we have achieved as a country in terms of promoting cooperatives," said Damien Mugabo, the Director General, Rwanda Cooperative Agency (RCA).
RCA is a national agency that gives legal operation or registers cooperatives considering the stipulated minimum requirements as regards the 2011 cooperative law.
It is the first time that Rwanda will host the conference. The decision was made in 2009 during the ninth conference that took place in Nairobi, Kenya.
The meeting is held after every three years. It works as a platform through which cooperative heads share experience and plan way forward for African countries can promote cooperatives to fight poverty.
Mugabo said the two day conference will start on the 22 October. In addition to the meeting, ministers from the participating countries in charge of cooperatives will also have a two days meeting from 25th.
Currently, the agency has registered over 4000 cooperatives countrywide. Mugabo highlighted on the measures put in place. He said that among others, the agency has auditors who respond or are charged with the responsibility of auditing cooperatives that are suspected or members raise concerns especially on issues concerning embezzlements.
The agency has also been cracking down ghost cooperatives especially those that do not meet the legal requirements. Among other factors, the cooperative law requires that at least seven people, who are not family members and have clear evidence about the operations of a cooperative, can start one.
"We just do not register these cooperatives, but we also make sure that they operate in a way that benefit members as it is one the main issues we encourage people to work through cooperatives," he said.
RCA officials say that when audit reports confirm embezzlement, those responsible especially heads of cooperatives are prosecuted.
The Executive Secretary of the National Confederation of Cooperatives in Rwanda (NCCR), Emmy Tumukunde, said the meeting will bring learning environment through which measures of solving issues affecting cooperatives can be solved.
NCCR is a private body that brings together cooperatives through advocacy as well as building their capacities to operate by developing training programmes.

Drinking milk may help you get rid of unwanted weight, Foodfacts.com has learned.
Drinking higher amounts of milk or eating other dairy foods may help you win the battle of the bulge, according to new research published online in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Adults who ate or drank the highest amount of dairy per day — about 12 ounces of milk or 580 milligrams of dairy calcium — at six months lost about 12 pounds at the end of the two-year study. People who got the least amount of calcium from dairy foods — about 150 milligrams of dairy calcium, or half of a glass of milk per day — lost 7 pounds after two years. Higher levels of vitamin D in the blood were also linked with successful weight loss, the study showed.
More than 300 overweight men and women aged 40 to 65 followed a low-fat diet, a low-carb diet, or a Mediterranean-style diet. All foods were readily available in the cafeteria at their workplace.
Participants filled out questionnaires regarding how many dairy products (and other foods) they ate or drank. The dairy section comprised 12 foods, such as low- and regular-fat milk, chocolate milk, low- and regular-fat yogurt, and yellow and white hard cheeses. Researchers also measured participants' blood levels of vitamin D and body mass index (BMI).
"Our study suggests that both higher dairy calcium intake and increased [blood] vitamin D are related to greater diet-induced weight loss," conclude the researchers, who were led by Danit R. Shahar, of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Beer-Sheva, Israel.
Exactly how — or if — dairy foods aid in weight loss is not fully understood. Several theories exist, including the possibility that eating more calcium results in losing more fat via the stool, the study researchers say.
Vitamin D and Weight Loss
Overweight participants had lower blood levels of vitamin D when the study began, but vitamin D levels increased among those who lost more weight. The higher the blood levels of vitamin D, the greater the weight loss, the study showed.
Vitamin D is also known as the sunshine vitamin because our bodies make it when exposed to sunlight. Recent studies have linked vitamin D deficiency to a host of medical problems, including heart disease and certain cancers.
"Low vitamin D is associated with weight gain, and raising vitamin D is looking more and more like it is able to help with weight loss," says Vincent Pera, MD, director of the Miriam Hospital Weight Management Program in Providence, R.I.
"I am more and more convinced that there is something helpful about vitamin D at regulating weight," he says.
"Milk is a great source of vitamin D, and it is also taking the place of other foods that are higher in fat and calories," he says.

PPD for almost a year now.
I have suffered from PPD now for almost a year. Medication helps, but there are still those days where I just want to cry and give up. My baby suffers in the sense that I am not into playing with her some days. I go through phases where I'm feeling better and then I suddenly sink again, there doesn't seem to be any reason for it. Has anyone else had PPD this long? How long could this possibly last and how can I cope?

I've heard that PPD can last, and that a year is not unheard of. But I've also heard that most don't go much past a year, so hopefully the end is in sight! If you are already seeing a therapist in addition to your meds cool, but if not, try adding a psychologist (the one that talks, not medicates) to your support team. They can be really helpful. Good luck!posted 07/21/2014 by Jellyfishy

I'm new to Stack Overflow and found a question where someone gave an answer that was not wrong in the first place but he missed some detail from the original question. What is now the correct way to react?
Should I add an answer and manually quote the part from the former answer to say my opinion to this? Or this there something else I can do? As far as I see, I'm not able to post comments now - but would this the best way? (So that I simply can't do anything at the moment?)
Edit: To give a concrete example: xHTML: region (div) in a table
First answer from Rogier21 says s.th. about divs in td and that is fine. Correct answer - but the question asks for divs that are not in td. This is what I wanted to point out.

U.S. Senators Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) are taking another shot at permanently banning legislative "earmarks," the process of Congress allocating money to specific projects.
"I think it [earmarks] is a gateway drug and I fear a relapse," McCaskill told POLITICO. "Many of our leaders are former appropriators and I am hearing rumors through the hallways that our leaders, Republican and Democrat, are trying to find a way to bring back earmarks."
The pair filed legislation that would make permanent what has been a de facto earmark ban in the Senate since Republicans instituted a moratorium in 2011.
The pro-earmark movement has been more evident in the House of Representatives, where Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska), a former transportation chairman, briefly suggested easing the ban before removing it from consideration earlier this year. House Speaker John Boehner lamented last spring that he had "no grease" to move bills, though the lower chamber kept its ban in place this Congress.
The Senate too has recently bypassed the normal Appropriations process, which had often been used to pack bills with millions for bridges, tunnels and other infrastructure. And though the number of explicit earmarks went from more than 6,000 in the 2005 transportation bill to zero this time around, there are still rumblings about so-called formulaic earmarks.
One example is millions in mass transit money for the Alaska Railroad in the 2012 transportation bill, a lightly used rural system. Toomey admitted it is a gray area that legislators should pay more attention to.
"If someone is using a formulaic approach to ensure that they can single out and define a sole beneficiary, then it's just an earmark. But if it's a programmatic priority, that's exactly what Congress is supposed to be doing," he said.

Starring now on a website near you: Britney Spears, raw.
We are not talking about "raw" meaning "in the flesh." She is showing lots more skin, reports say, during her current Las Vegas musical residency. You don't compete with Miley Cyrus, Beyoncé and Rihanna by layering up in gingham and ribbons.
What's really raw — and interesting — about Spears is the samizdat recording that's been released of her singing. You read that correctly: an American pop star, circa 2014, actually singing.

The audio portion of a YouTube video posted anonymously has her warbling "Alien," the first track from "Britney Jean," the album the fading superstar put out in 2013. What's unique about this recording, which spent last week being featured on pretty much any website that wanted a traffic boost, is that Spears gets no vocal help from her usual good friend, the pitch-correction software Auto-Tune.
It was surely released "in a spirit of unkindness," as the song's producer, William Orbit, said in a statement on Facebook that also, indirectly, vouches for the recording's authenticity. The vocal track Web gawkers hear, Orbit said, is more "warm-up exercise," a musical place holder, than attempt at a finished track. None of us, he says, should judge what we hear harshly.
Still. Even granting that she was merely in the on-deck circle, these are some pretty weak swings.
Where you can still find the recording — it seems to have been taken down for copyright violation in most places — you'll hear that her voice is "pitchy" at times, to use a phrase I think I understand after hearing Randy Jackson use it approximately 9,700 times on "American Idol."
She's flat-out flat most of the time. When Spears hits the big chorus — what is supposed to be the big chorus — she sounds like a bored Valley Girl on karaoke night who knows she doesn't need to impress vocally. She's got other charms.
This all reminds me of one of the great underground artifacts of 1980s pop culture, known to some admirers as "The Tape of Only Linda." Passed around on cassette tape, it purported to be a soundboard recording of Linda McCartney's microphone as she sang backup, very badly, during a concert performance of "Hey Jude" by her husband, Paul, and his band Wings. Think a person surely couldn't screw up the song's "na-na-nas"?
Think again. I can't remember how I got hold of the tape, but I know it was one of the treasures of my 20s, right up there with high metabolism and many years ahead of me. I played it for anybody with half an interest, and we all enjoyed this proof, exciting and illicit, that talent wasn't strictly necessary in big-time show business.
Call the "Alien" track "The Tape of Only Britney." Listening to it alongside the official "Alien" release provides a fascinating window into modern recording, into the unabashed artificiality that the mass market has come to accept, even expect. This is especially true in the pop realm, where, it seems, no vocal note shall be allowed to sound authentic.
Fans of Spears even extol Auto-Tune, or whichever pitch-correction software her producers choose, as the signature of her sound. This would be like me touting spell check as a signature part of my writing. What do you know: Britney Spears and I both have software that keeps us from sounding stupid.
But here is Kevin Fallon, writing about the raw track in Daily Beast, lauding Britney on Auto-Tune: "It's how she gets the supersonic, sort-of-extraterrestrial, almost inhuman sound that's so interesting and cool and uniquely hers."
Hers, perhaps. But unique? If sounding faintly robotic is unique. If filtering your voice through crushed silicon chips and the bottled tears of Nat King Cole is unique. If doing exactly what Katy Perry and Ke$ha and a big chunk of the rest of the Top 40 do is unique.
I have another related artifact: "Miss Fortune," the 2002 LP from the first-rate Americana singer and songwriter Allison Moorer. On it, Moorer had stickers placed that read, "Absolutely no vocal tuning or pitch-correction was used in the making of this record."
It was a winning stance, especially for people already growing tired of robosingers. It was not, alas, an influential stance. But Moorer could (and can) hit the notes. These days you get the feeling that a lot of singers who could also sing on key don't bother.
Indeed, you wonder if singers who know they'll get the "benefit" of Auto-Tune even try anymore.
Does the process work better when it starts with something that's almost there? Or is Britney Spears' official "Alien" an entirely plausible result of the unofficial version that is now out in the world?
We probably won't know. In Vegas, according to those who have seen the show, Spears lip-syncs her way through her hits.
But we do have this new "Alien," the one that sounds, at least, human.

Hi. I'm looking at getting a new Specialized XC hardtail. My 8 year old GT Aggressor was my first real bike but it's time for it to go. I'm looking at the bikes listed in the title of the thread and I would appreciate your opinions.
08' Rockhopper Disc = $840
08' Rockhopper Pro Disc = $1,100
05' Stumpjumper Disc = $950
I'm really intrigued by the 05' Stumpy. It's a brand new 05' but I don't know if I would be better off going with one of the newer Rockhopper bikes.


text: Even after receiving valid criticism and opposition for spending county taxpayer dollars on donations to supervisor's favored organizations—"revenue sharing"—the tax dollar give away continues. (Aug 9 Plalcer County Board of Supervisors agenda item 31, parts a and b). The absurdity reaches new peaks with a request for $350 for a "cordless lapel microphone," supposedly to assist those who may be hearing impaired, and worse, to assist presenters who "have problems using hand-held cord microphones." Most hearing-challenged people purchase hearing aids. This request implies the hearing challenged only face their issues at these meetings and that presenters don't know about microphone stands. The request is even more maddening because the organization getting our money has lost its nonprofit status for failure to file federal returns. Apparently, the supervisors who give away our money don't investigate organization status or legitimacy of amounts requested. Cordless lapel microphones can be purchased at Radio Shack for under $60, Amazon $75 and/or they can be rented for even less. "Revenue sharing" is a nasty "insider" give away of our tax dollars to questionable recipients and vague purposes, while hiding behind "feel good" spins with hopes for future campaign contributions. It must be ended permanently. MATT MARIN, Newcastle

Paul Allen: Blazers have "exceeded my expectations"
Ask Dwight - Most impressive about Blazers?
PHOENIX – Never mind Wednesday's 120-106 loss to the Phoenix Suns, a loss that broke the Portland Trail Blazers' 11-game winning streak. It had to end at some point.
At 13-3, no one expected this Portland team to own the third best record in the NBA and on top of that, sit first in their division ahead of Oklahoma City. Everyone knew that general manager Neil Olshey put together a much-improved roster over the summer, but this remarkable start has shocked the world.
Even its owner, Paul Allen.
"I knew that Neil had done a great job bolstering the bench," Allen told CSNNW.com Wednesday night in Phoenix. "I was just anxious to get the season underway to see how things would play out, see how the different new players would fit together with our starters. You just never know. But it has definitely exceeded my expectations so far."
Allen has been present at every single home game this season while sprinkling in some road visits. It's a sign that he is fully engaged in his team like never before.
When asked about his perfect attendance at home this year, he said he's just excited about the possibilities with this team.
"I was just really excited to get the season underway to see the new veterans, the development of Damian [Lillard], how the new guys were going to blend in. That's what makes sports exciting, the change. Every year there's change, there's new things happening. I just had a good feeling about things and I wanted to see how they evolved, and it's been really exciting."
Head coach Terry Stotts, known for his offensive mind, has done a phenomenal job at fluctuating the defensive scheme in a more hands-on approach by extending his bigs out on the pick-and-roll, forcing teams to take long twos oppose to inviting points in the painted area.
[RELATED: Nate McMillan returns to Portland next week, speaks about his time in Portland and regrets]
Guards are being asked to fight through and get over the screens so that the bigs aren't left to show so much as they attempt to cover ground on quicker perimeter players. This team has bought into Stotts' new defensive philosophy and of course, the record reveals that.
"Terry has done a great job," Allen said. "I always say that I'm a big fan of good defense and it's definitely improved from last year. I think his offensive statistics are right up there at the top of the league, too. I'm really encouraged with how things have gone so far."
Prior to the season starting, Allen refused to bite on if this team is a playoff contending roster. Reason being is because there's a plan and a timeline in place for the organization that they're not retreating from.
But if a postseason bid were to occur at the end of this season, Allen is all for it and he knows his players are, as well.
"It's still early but all the [playoff] signs are good," he said. "Especially our veteran players, they're really hungry to get back to the playoffs. LaMarcus [Aldridge], Wes [Matthews] and Nic [Batum], they're dying to get back. We all are dying to get back to the playoffs. I like what I'm seeing."
What this team has done in such a short time is unbelievable and the proper people should be commended for their roles. Olshey knocked the offseason out of the park, Stotts is pushing all the right buttons and the players are producing.
We're only 16 games in, but I think it's safe to say that this team is for real.

Scanning operations and the drivers used will differ depending on the operating system you are using. As default, the machine uses a TWAIN compliant driver when scanning documents from your applications. For Windows XP/Windows Vista Two scanner drivers are installed. A TWAIN compliant scanner driver (See TWAIN compliant on page 28) and a Windows Imaging Acquisition (WIA) driver (See Scanning a document using the WIA driver (For Windows XP/Windows Vista) on page 35). Windows XP/Windows Vista users can select either driver when scanning documents. Note For ScanSoft PaperPort 11SE, see Using ScanSoft PaperPort 11SE with OCR by NUANCE on page 49. If your PC is protected by a firewall and is unable to network scan, you may need to configure the firewall settings to allow communication through port number 137 and 54925. For more information, see Firewall settings (For Network users) on page 107. When you scan a document, you can either use the ADF(automatic document feeder) or the scanner glass. For more information on loading the documents, see Using the ADF(available for ADF models) and Using the scanner glass in the Users Guide.

Click Start. This time only the chosen area of the document appears in the PaperPort 11SE window (or your application window). In the PaperPort 11SE window, use the options available to refine the image.
Settings in the Scanner Setup dialog box
Choose the output image type from Photo, Web or Text. Resolution and Scan Type will be automatically altered for each of the default settings. The default settings are listed in the table below:
Image Type Photo Web Text Use for scanning photo images Use for scanning text documents Resolution dpi dpi Use for attaching the scanned image to web pages dpi Scan Type 24 bit colour 24 bit colour Black & White
You can choose a scanning resolution from the Resolution drop-down list. Higher resolutions take more memory and transfer time, but produce a finer scanned image. The following table shows the resolutions you can choose and the available colours.
Resolution dpi dpi dpi dpi dpi dpi dpi dpi dpi dpi dpi Black & White/ Grey (Error Diffusion) Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes 256 colour Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes No No No No No True Grey/ 24bit colour Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes
Scan Type
Black & White Use for text or line art images. Grey (Error Diffusion) Use for photographic images or graphics. (Error Diffusion is a method for creating simulated grey images without using true grey dots. Black dots are put in a specific pattern to give a grey appearance.) True Grey Use for photographic images or graphics. This mode is more exact because it uses up to 256 shades of grey. 256 Colour Uses up to 256 colours to scan the image. 24 bit Colour Uses up to 16.8 million colours to scan the image. Although using 24 bit Colour creates an image with the most accurate colour reproduction, the image file size will be about three times larger than a file created using the 256 Colour option. It requires the most memory and has the longest transfer time.
Adjust the setting (-50 to 50) to get the best image. The default value is 0, representing an average and is usually suitable for most images. You can set the Brightness level by dragging the slide bar to the right or left to lighten or darken the image. You can also enter a value in the box to set the level. If the scanned image is too light, set a lower Brightness level and scan the document again. If the image is too dark, set a higher Brightness level and scan the document again.
You can import items from other applications
As well as scanning items, you can bring items into PaperPort 11SE in a variety of ways and convert them to PaperPort 11SE (MAX) files in several different ways: Print to the Desktop View from another application, such as Microsoft Excel.

Settings in the Scanner window
You can change the scanning resolution from the Resolution pop-up menu. Higher resolutions take more memory and transfer time, but produce a finer scanned image. The following table shows the resolutions you can choose and the available colours.
Resolution dpi dpi dpi dpi dpi dpi dpi dpi dpi dpi dpi Black & White/ Gray (Error Diffusion) Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes 8 bit color Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes No No No No No True Gray/24 bit color Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes
Black & White Use for text or line art images. Gray (Error Diffusion) Use for photographic images or graphics. (Error Diffusion is a method for creating simulated grey images without using true grey dots. Black dots are put in a specific pattern to give the grey appearance.) True Gray Use for photographic images or graphics. This mode is more exact because it uses up to 256 shades of grey. 8 Bit Color Uses up to 256 colours to scan the image. 24 Bit Color Uses up to 16.8 million colours to scan the image. Although using 24 Bit Color creates an image with the most accurate colour reproduction, the image file size will be about three times larger than a file created using the 8 Bit Color option. It requires the most memory and has the longest transfer time.
Choose one of the following sizes: A297 mm JIS B257 mm Letter 8.in. Legal 8.in. A210 mm Executive 7.25 10.5 in. Business Card To scan business cards, choose the Business Card size (mm), and then put the business card face down at the center of the scanner glass. Photo in. Index Card in. Photo L mm Photo 2L mm Postcard 148 mm Postcard 200 mm Custom (User adjustable from 0.35 0.35 in. to 8.in. or 8.9 8.9 mm to mm.) After you choose a custom size, you can adjust the scanning area. Click and hold the mouse button as you drag the mouse to crop the image. Width: Enter the width of the custom size. Height: Enter the height of the custom size.
Adjusting the Image
Brightness Adjust the setting (-50 to 50) to get the best image. The default value is 0, representing an average, and is usually suitable for most images.
You can set the Brightness level by dragging the slide bar to the right or left to lighten or darken the image. You can also enter a value in the box to set the level.
If the scanned image is too light, set a lower Brightness level and scan the document again. If the image is too dark, set a higher Brightness level and scan the document again. Note The Brightness setting is only available if you have set Scan Type to Black & White, Gray or True Gray. Contrast You can increase or decrease the contrast level by moving the slide bar to the left or right. An increase emphasizes dark and light areas of the image, while a decrease reveals more detail in grey areas. You can also enter a value in the box to set the Contrast. Note The Contrast setting is only available if you have set Scan Type to Gray or True Gray. When scanning photographs or other images for use in a word processor or other graphics application, try different settings for the Resolution, Scan Type, Brightness and Contrast to see which setting best suits your needs.
Note If you use the Scan key on a network, see Using the Scan key on page 151. You can use the (Scan) key on the control panel to scan documents directly into your word processing,
graphics or E-mail applications or to a folder on your Macintosh. Before you can use the (Scan) key on the control panel, you have to install the Brother MFL-Pro Software Suite and connect the machine to your Macintosh.

Cameron Diaz's good luck socksCameron Diaz keeps a pair of Justin Timberlake's socks in her handbag for good luck.
The superstitious actress, who wears a lucky charm necklace and habitually knocks on wood, rescued the worn-out socks - which she believed brought the singer good fortune - after Justin threw them out.
A friend of the blonde actress revealed: "Justin had a lucky pair of socks he always used to wear for sports, but they wore out. He threw them out but Cameron went crazy when she found out.
"She managed to fish one out and now she keeps it as a lucky charm in her handbag. She genuinely believed that something bad would happen if those socks had gone to the dump."
Meanwhile, Cameron has revealed the secret of her sexy legs - high heeled shoes.
The Charlie's Angels beauty has confessed she is "too lazy" to exercise - so keeps in great shape by tottering around in stilettos.
When asked how she stays so slim, Cameron revealed: "I wear high heels! That's my only fitness training and it gives me nice legs." &EngCP
