text: Hi, I have just installed Kaffeine 0.7.1 (running on Ubuntu 6.06.1 AMD64 Asus M. Board Nvidia audio chip and Px7600 video with nvidia latest drivers for Geforce 7600 Chip. Kaffeine is nice. Looks great easy to use. Big thanks up front to the developers. I have installed latest v4l source and compiled and I did find that in make I had to use Ncurses menuconfig and not compile with one of the audio modules, I think it was *.oci ? I can play ABC HDTV (I am in Sydney) with sound but that is the only channel that gives audio. I have set xine engine to alsa drivers and I have tried every setting in alsamixer. I have tried ne tip which was to de-select the dvd.language. That did not work for me. I have looked at audio pid in the channels edit and tried selecting ac3 but that does not work either. I also looked at the channels.conf pid from scan reading and that did not work either. I looked at the mail list archive and apart from the above suggestions I have not been able to find an answer. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks

text: Paarl - New Zealand bounced back from a torried Test series to win a battle of attrition in the first of three one-day internationals against South Africa in Paarl on Saturday.South Africa struggled to a score of 208 in 46 overs, and despite losing wickets regularly, New Zealand were able to grind out a one-wicket victory with 26 balls to spare.The tourists were aided in no small way by 31 extras, including 15 wides and three no-balls, conceded by the Proteas bowlers.New Zealand did well to recover from a disastrous start, with Martin Guptill being run out off the second ball of the innings by a direct hit from AB de Villliers, now freed from the wicket-keeping gloves and fielding in the covers.Two quick strikes by Lonwabo Tsotsobe left the Black Caps reeling at 21 for three, but skipper Brendon McCullum and BJ Watling steadied the ship to take the score to 73 at a decent run-rate of around 4.5 an over.McCullum was then trapped lbw by Ryan McLaren in a passage of play marred by a power failure which prevented any referrals to the third umpire. McCullum was obviously not happy with the decision, but to counter that, the Proteas were unable to refer two run-out decisions.James Franklin shared a stand of 36 off 37 balls with Nathan McCullum for the eighth wicket and put up a stand of 41 with Kyle Mills for the ninth wicket which gave the Black Caps the edge. Franklin ended on 47 off 61 balls with five fours.Having elected to bowl on a low, slow wicket, New Zealand's debutant bowler, Mitchell McClenaghan, took four wickets and could have had another but was let down by sloppy ground fielding.Off-spinner Kane Williamson gave him good support with a haul of four wickets of his own.South Africa might have counted themselves lucky to get to 208, for Graeme Smith was dropped on two and Quinton de Kock on nine, both to regulation catches in the slips. It was left to Rory Kleinveldt, coming in at number nine, to add 26 off 20 balls, with three superb sixes, to push them above 200 runs.The hosts were never able to establish the base from which to launch an attack in the later stages of the innings.Only Faf Du Plessis stood firm with a score of 57 off 72 balls, which included just three fours. He shared a useful stand of 49 for the fourth wicket with Colin Ingram, who was looking confident for his 29 before he top-edged a delivery from Williamson which was superbly taken by Nathan McCullum.The two sides meet again in the second of three ODIs in Kimberley on Tuesday.Scores:South Africa 208 all out (F. du Plessis 57, R. McLaren 33; M. McClenaghan 4-20, K. Williamson 4-22)New Zealand 209 for nine (J. Franklin 47 not out, B.J. Watling 45; R. McLaren 4-46, R. Kleinveldt 2-37) Teams:South Africa: Graeme Smith, Hashim Amla, Colin Ingram, AB de Villiers (captain), Francois Du Plessis, Quinton de Kock (wicketkeeper), Ryan McLaren, Robin Peterson, Rory Kleinveldt, Dale Steyn, Lonwabo TsotsoboNew Zealand: Rob Nichol, Martin Guptill, Brendon McCullum (captain), Kane Williamson, BJ Watling (wicketkeeper), James Franklin, Jimmy Neesham, Nathan McCullum, Grant Elliott, Kyle Mills, Mitchell McClenaghan

Availability of parking behind the Top of the Hill shopping center, 8705 Germantown Ave., dominated discussion at the Sept. 17 meeting of the Chestnut Hill Community Association's Development Review Committee related to an application for a special exception permit to allow a dental practice to set up shop there.
Applicants Jacob Orozco and Abbey Sullivan-Orozco returned to the DRC after appearing before the Land Use Planning and Zoning and Streetscape committees to address signs and parking, the two issues identified by those committees that required further discussion.
There has been no opposition to the practice opening at the location from any neighboring business or residence. There was, however, some concern about the use of the adjacent parking lot.
"Use of the parking lot is complicated," community manager Celeste Hardester said.
Hardester explained that the owner of Spa Elysium, who was not present at Tuesday night's meeting, expressed concern regarding the number of spaces that would reportedly be made available to employees and patients of the dental practice.
Hardester said Spa Elysium at 55 Bethlehem Pike has claimed the majority of spaces in the lot behind that business and the Top of the Hill shopping center.
Orozco told the committee that his lease states that at least six spaces would be available for their use. However, there is no lack of any enforcement or control of the spaces, combined with the fact that no space is designated for particular tenants.
"It's a first come, first served lot," he said. "Guaranteed spaces are a moot point."
Hardester added that, historically, the proposal for the Top of the Hill shopping center was opposed by the city for a lack of adequate parking.
Attorney Michael Gumbel, representing the applicant, said that the parking for the dental practice should be equal to the same number of spaces as KCBA Architects, the firm that previously occupied the space. Those present said KCBA had between 20 and 35 employees at one time, all of whom parked in the lot.
Gumbel added that parking availability would have never been raised as an issue in the first place if the practice had only one doctor and did not need the special exception.
DRC co-chair John Landis thought the matter should be left to the landlord.
"The owners need to reconcile this," he said.
Committee co-chair Larry McEwen observed that two of the tenants of the shopping center were restaurants, which see a lot of their traffic in the evening and not during normal business hours when the practice would need parking.
While long-term estimates for the total parking needs of the business were up around 20 spaces, the applicants agreed they could get by with the six spaces provided for in the lease. Orozco said he and his wife would not be in the space at the same time and would initially share the services of two employees.
The applicants haven't proposed any signs beyond a simple hanging banner. The banner is only good for 60 days, but the applicants said that the owner of Top of the Hill plaza may be close to providing a new sign package for all tenants of the shopping center. If so, they would wait before applying for permission to post signs of their own. Until then, the applicants have no plans for any signs beyond the temporary banner.
The committee unanimously approved a recommendation of support for the special exception to be conveyed to the CHCA board at its Sept. 26 meeting.
A second motion, presented separately by Joyce Lenhardt, vice president of the CHCA's Physical Division, asked the community manager to reach out to the owners of Top of the Hill and Spa Elysium and get resolution on the issue of who owns the lot behind both. It too passed.
"We are unanimously thrilled that you're here and hope you're here forever," Landis told the applicants.
Diamond Spa
Roy Miyahara, owner of Diamond Spa at 8430 Germantown Ave., appeared before the Development Review Committee to ask for its support in renewing a use variance that will allow him to offer massages in the rear of the property.
Miyahara first received a use variance to offer massage in 2008, but the five-year period for that variance has lapsed, and his request for an extension was rejected by the Zoning Board of Adjustment. Miyahara told the committee there would be no change to the operation of his business and no additional services will be provided.
The use variance was also refused by the city five years ago before his appeal to the ZBA. This process is identical to that undertaken five years ago, but this time the intent is to obtain a use variance that will run concurrently with Miyahara's occupation of the property, without a set expiration date..
The variance request includes details related to the sign outside the business. Miyahara said he is unsure whether or not the sign will change. If it does, it will be the same size and color as the existing sign.
Since this is Miyahara's first appearance before the DRC, the committee voted to send the proposal to both the Land Use Planning and Zoning and Streetscape committees. DRC co-chair John Landis suggested Miyahara receive signatures from the surrounding neighbors.

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. — Works by seven student artists at St. Bonaventure University will be featured in the 2012 Senior Thesis Exhibition opening Friday, March 23, at the University's Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts.
The exhibition opens with a welcoming reception from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Winifred Shortell Kenney Gallery. Beginning at 5:30 p.m., the artists will offer brief comments about their work.
Refreshments will be served on The Quick Center's mezzanine. All events, other than the play, are open to the public at no charge. Tickets for the play may be purchased by calling The Quick Center Box Office at (716) 375-2494.
The evening's showcase event, the exhibition by graduating visual arts majors, will be one of the largest in recent years, and the first exhibited at the university's world-renowned arts center in some time, said Constance Pierce, associate professor of visual arts at St. Bonaventure.
"The exhibition features challenging and intriguing work by seven young artists," said Pierce, who directed the exhibition project. "They offer a wide range of styles, concepts and mediums including work in drawing, painting, visual journals, watercolors, sculpture, and sketchbooks."
Students participating in the exhibition include:
The 2012 Senior Thesis Exhibition also provides some special features, said Pierce. Artists Ryan and Durkin will collaborate on a large-scale graffiti wall that will be created outdoors and then wheeled into the gallery for the exhibition's opening reception.
Also, several artists will share intimate views of their creative process by displaying mixed-media art journals and sketchbooks. These will be shown in glass cases within the gallery, so visitors are able to view the young artists' preparatory studies and imaginative concepts along with their completed major series of works on the gallery walls.
The exhibition runs through April 14.
Galleries at The Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts are open to the public at no charge year round. Regular gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and noon to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. For more information, go to www.sbu.edu/quickcenter.

Buy now and save! ONLY LEFT
It's nice to finally have an alternative to CC, I've had two orders with PC-Canada thus far and they've both been handled great. Customer service has been beyond excellent, with prompt and courteous replies to both phone and email. They were even able to custom order some hard to find parts for me that were unavailable at my usual sources. Shipping has been quick, even when ordering back-ordered products. If their prices continue to remain this competitive, I can't see myself using the competitors that I've been stuck with for so long.

PCV Valve Service in Somersworth NHJun 28th, 2011
The NH push for fuel economy has the benefit of using less gas as well as fewer emissions in our local Somersworth environment. Cars and trucks run cleaner than ever.
Many people in the Somersworth area may not realize that the first federally mandated pollution control device was in 1960: the PCV valve.
'PCV' stands for Positive Crankcase Ventilation. The crankcase is the lower part of the engine where the crankshaft is housed and where the engine oil lives. When fuel is burned in the engine some of the explosive gases from combustion squeeze past the pistons and down into the crankcase.
Now this gas is about 70 percent unburned fuel. If it were allowed to remain in the crankcase, it would contaminate the oil and quickly turn it to sludge. Sludge is like Vaseline and clogs passages in the engine, leading to damage.
Also, the pressure build-up would blow out seals and gaskets. In the old days, there was just a hose that vented the crankcase out into the air, obviously not good for the environment.
Enter the PCV valve. It's a small, one-way valve that lets out the gases from the crankcase and routes them back into the air intake system where they can be re-burned in the engine.
As you might imagine, the valve gets gummed up over time. If you skip oil changes now and then, the PCV valve gets gummed up even faster. If the PCV valve is sticking you could have oil leaks. Fortunately, the PCV valve is very inexpensive to replace. Some can even be checked for function by your technician.
Manufacturers usually recommend they be changed somewhere between 20 and 50 thousand miles (30,000-80,000 kilometers). Unfortunately, PCV valve replacement is left out of some owner's manuals, so you may need to ask your service advisor.
Come down to Central Park Garage and have us take a look at the condition of your PCV valve to ensure you are running at top efficiency. Just come by our service station in Somersworth, NH 03878, or give us a call at 603.953.0047.

Cyber Security's New Face: Growing Threats and Growing Profits
In 2012, the ever-evolving cyber security industry will not only rapidly shift its focus, but its growth, too.
This isn't just because of a simple increase in business. The threat of a cyber attack has become something much different – and much more dangerous.
On the backs of these new types of attacks, the global cyber security industry is expected to grow an additional $7.2 billion in the next four years, according to projections from Gartner.
Not only does this include expanding security measures, but also redesigning old systems and dealing with new infrastructures as more data moves to "cloud" systems.
At the root of it all is the nature of this new cyber security threat that will reshape both cyber security as a technology and as a business.
The Advanced Persistent Threat
Cyber attacks used to cast a wide net to try to find valuable nuggets of data where available. Now they set their sights on one particular wealthy target and are sure to take it down. They've gone from catching tuna in a net, to spearfishing for prized marlin.
Appropriately titled "phishing," the old cyber attack would blast out emails that appeared to be a bank requesting login information. Out of millions of emails, a few non-savvy users were duped and the cyber criminals would sell this information – mostly credit card numbers or other valuable pieces of data – to people who would then exploit it.
Now the top criminals use what's called an "advanced persistent threat." In this case, a valuable target is selected and its networks are penetrated through a variety of methods.
Once inside, while they remain undetected, these attacks siphon out as much important information as possible.
The most advanced cyber attack of this kind ever executed was the Stuxnet virus. It was specifically designed to infect every computer it was spread to, determine if the computer was connected to uranium-enrichment equipment inside Iran and, if so, cause it to damage itself. If that doesn't seem "advanced" and "persistent," I don't know what does.
Stuxnet is an anomaly, a piece of engineering so amazing that experts believe it could only be done with "nation-state" support. The likely backers – the United States and Israel – have not, of course, admitted any involvement.
The complete opposite of nation-state support would be anonymous hacking groups, like the collective known only as "Anonymous"..
Aaron Barr, CEO of HBGary Federal – a technology security company – claimed he could track down the members of Anonymous. Embarrassingly for HBGary, the group responded by turning the tables. It hacked the email accounts of HBGary employees, took over the CEO's Twitter account and posted tens of thousands of documents online, including very sensitive material about HBGary's government contracts.
Of course, most attacks are less personal than profitable. Sony's PlayStation Network, for example, was hacked last year, exposing 77 million credit card numbers and expiration dates, costing Sony at least $171 million and up to $1.25 billion in lost business.
A more ironic example can be found in the RSA Security breach. Its entire business is built around providing an unbreakable SecurID product that verifies a user's identity online. But last year, RSA's very own database was hacked. The hackers then had the information at their disposal to log in as an employee to one-fifth of Fortune 100 companies' databases.
All this goes to show that big name companies that have invested millions on security – and even those whose very business is security – remain vulnerable, while the list of breaches grows longer and longer. Just ask Citibank or the Nasdaq Exchange, both were hacked last year, as well.
A Stronger Threat Means More Spending
These cases illustrate that the rise of the advanced persistent threats means a major shift in the business of cyber security.
Instead of merely needing a minimum level of security to prevent being an easy target – which is how it used to be – companies with valuable data now need to prepare for every possible contingency.
To imagine how this will effect spending on security, consider the difference between protecting your wallet from a pickpocket on the subway (where a single security fix should suffice) and securing a bank vault (where the number and kind of vulnerabilities is far more vast). On the one hand, the cost is feasibly low and limited, but on the other hand follows the rising sophistication of those trying to get in.
This means that if an organization wants thorough security protection, it better be willing to reach just deep into its pockets. And there are a few companies that stand to profit from these rising costs.
For starters, now that McAfee and ArcSight have been bought out, the remaining mega cap in cyber security is Symantec (Nasdaq: SYMC). The stock is a pretty safe way to play the growth of the industry overall, as it's the first stock that comes to mind for investors looking to profit from cyber security.
It's a quality stock and a quality company, yes, but keep in mind that it doesn't stand to gain the most from the shift to advanced persistent threats. The company still generates 31% of its revenue from consumer software like its Norton Antivirus. Only 29% of revenue comes from its enterprise customers, and a significant portion of that is pre-packaged software for small to medium businesses. Still profitable, but not by any means a paragon of the new cyber security age.
For more growth, I like Sourcefire (Nasdaq: FIRE). The company developed SNORT, the completely free, open-source software for detecting network intrusion. This is more of a high-level network security than that offered by Symantec, and it appeals only to larger businesses that may actually be targeted for an advanced persistent threat.
On the back of the SNORT platform, Sourcefire develops real-time intrusion detection and prevention systems. It's also a player in next-generation firewalls.
As such, sales have grown by greater than 25% for the last five years, and estimates suggest a further rise of 43% over the next two years. The stock's not cheap, having just released great earnings numbers on Tuesday, but give it a week or two to cool down.
Bottom-line: Cyber security isn't just a growing industry, it's an industry about to pivot in a completely different direction. A direction that will ensure profits for years to come. And both Symantec and Sourcefire stand a great chance of catching the upside of the growing needs for protection against advanced persistent threats.
Ahead of the tape,
Matthew Weinschenk

Just a quickie, thought I'd share this cool buy that I got from Home Bargains (a discount store in the UK):
The item is a Multy Bath Sponge. It looks like a natural sea sponge to be. It cost me a grand….29p!
I love this sponge! Its highly absorbent and has a light exfoliating texture. I Googled Multy and apparently they make household cleaning sponges!
This sponge is much nicer than the usual ones you get from the shops – less harsh and lasts longer too. Unfortunately you can never predict what they'll have at Home Bargains, otherwise I'd buy another 5 to stock up!

SUNDAY WALK IN THE PARK. This monthly program on second Sundays is aimed at bringing together the members of the Friends to share in Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park's beautiful trails. Led Nick Shema, this month's 8-hour, 14-mile round trip hike will explore the Napau Trail. Since this is not intended as an interpretive hike, we will move along at a steady clip. Following the East Rift Zone of Kilauea, the Napau Trail provides opportunities for hikers to experience a diversity of environments ranging from recent lava flows to dense tree fern rain forests. The destination is Napau Crater where hikers may gaze from the rim at Pu'u 'O'o vent steaming and fuming in the distance. This 14-mile hike, which includes a 620' elevation gain, is rated strenuous and hikers should be physically fit and free of respiratory and heart ailments. Bring a bag lunch plus at least 3 quarts of water and meet at the Mauna Ulu parking lot. The walk is free to Friends members (though non-members are welcome to join the non-profit Friends group in order to attend). Park entrance fees apply. To register, call (808) 985-7373 or email email@example.com. For more info, visit www.fhvnp.org.
Saturday, September 17, 2011 from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
ON THE EDGE OF KILAUEA CALDERA. Join volcanologist Ken Hon for a 3 to 4 mile hike around and into Kilauea Caldera. Come find out how the current caldera formed and how it differs from the new vent that is currently active in Halema'uma'u Crater. Visit Sulphur Banks to see the outer ring fracture system of the caldera. Hike through a faulted valley and across the road to Steam Vents and Steaming Bluffs to learn about their relationship to the caldera. We'll also pass the old Crater Rim Drive that partially fell into the caldera during the 1975 magnitude 7.2 earthquake. After the hike, the group moves to Volcano's famed Kilauea Lodge and Restaurant for a delicious lunch of soup, Big Island fresh catch, wine, coffee or tea, and dessert. (Vegetarians can be accommodated with advance request.) Wine will be provided compliments of the Volcano Winery. Cost per person is $60 for members and $85 for non-members. Students (K-12 and college with valid student ID) are half-price. Non-members are welcome to join the Friends to get the member discount. Park entrance fees apply. To register, call (808) 985-7373 or visit www.fhvnp.org.
Saturday, September 24, 2011 from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
VOLUNTEER FOREST RESTORATION PROJECT. Volunteers are needed to help remove weeds in Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park for National Public Lands Day. We will work in the Devastation Trail area removing invasive, non-native knotweed (Polygonum capitatum). This is a low-growing plant and most work will be done kneeling or crouching.

The first massive smile spreads across your face like a sunrise precisely 21 seconds in to What Have We Become?'s first song, 'Moulding of a Fool'. It's the first time you hear Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott's voices sing together and despite everything else you're hearing - which is happily a pop-motown-handclap barnstormer of an opener - it's such an unabashed joy to hear those voices blend, the entrance price is justified right there and then.
Back when Heaton masterminded the bittersweet pop juggernaut of The Beautiful South, Abbott was his favourite muse, the second of the band's three female singers and the one whose voice best suited Heaton's sardonic soul. Hers was the voice on 'Rotterdam', 'Don't Marry Her', 'Perfect Ten' and 'Good As Gold (Stupid As Mud)', she had a perfect mix of weary melancholy and vulnerability that matched with Heaton and Dave Hemingway's (the-other-one, remember?) soul boy vocals. Her period with the band matched their commercial peak, from the release of their best of Carry On Up The Charts which seemed to be on everyone's mums stereo in the mid-Nineties, through Blue Is The Colour and Quench. When she left the band to look after her disabled son (and rumour has it because she got sick of the famously boozy band's hard drinking on the road) it coincided with an almost immediate commercial downturn. They replaced her with the singer in a Beautiful South tribute band, which says it all really. Eventually the band split, Heaton famously citing "musical similarities". Since then Abbot has concentrated on being a mum, while Heaton released low key, but well received solo albums. His recent pop-opera project The Eighth saw them re-united when he talked her into taking a part and fell in love with her voice all over again.
You can see why. Abbott and Heaton go together extraordinarily well, both in terms of their vocal blend and her innate knack for interpreting his work. Heaton makes no secret of the fact he wrote these songs with Abbott in mind and here she has inspired his best work since Quench - by no coincidence one of the last albums he made with her.
Musically we're in fairly family territory for anyone who has warmed to any of Heaton's work since The Housemartins. A decade ago that made the last throws of the Beautiful South seemed tired, but here, with Heaton now more of an elder statesman of British pop, cited as a major influence on the likes of Los Campesinos! the musical-comfort-zone approach works far better, not least because the pair sound like they're having such a whale of a time making it. These are joyful rock n'soul numbers that fair motor along, from the almost Morrissey-esq rockaboogie of 'The Right In Me' to the wink-wink tongue-rolling holiday adventure of 'Costa-Del-Sombre'. 'DIY' is vintage Heaton, everything that's great about his writing, it has a nostalgic twinkle, an acutely observed character and a whopping chorus. 'One Man's England' takes an aim at racist, parochial little Englanders and contains the stinger "The real terrorist ain't reading the Koran, he's sitting in ten Downing Street and he works for Uncle Sam" which is either the best or worst lyric Heaton has ever written, while 'What Have We Become' opens with "What have we become said a mother to her half ton thumb, chicken wings replace the thumb." References to eating, pubs and drinking abound as the tee-total-but-pub-owning Heaton once again displays his love for real, working English culture and the characters that people it.
That sunrise-smile that hits before the first half-minute mark isn't blighted by the slightest smudge of cloud right up to minute 45, this is one of our best writers and the soul and centre of why he's always mattered so much. Heartily recommended.

Galerie m is showing recent works by the American artist
Peter Wegner
(*1963 Sioux Falls, South Dakota, lives and works in Berkeley, California) from July 24 to September 26, 2015. His new series "D65" and "COLOR WHEELS" are conceptual installations exploring the effects of color and light.
In both series, Wegner works with picture supports shaped like wheels. In "COLOR WHEELS" pulsating discs of color are created using thin lines, whereas in the series "D65" the artist combines colors by spraying paints into each other, generating intense shifts in hue.
The paint is applied to the "COLOR WHEELS" in fine radial lines. In this sense, they are reminiscent of the schematic color wheels once devised by Isaac Newton and other scientists. By contrast, however, the viewer is left ignorant of the fundamental principle governing Wegner's "COLOR WHEELS." But the sequence of hues is not random: "It was made by the algorithm of me." (Peter Wegner). Wegner aims with his arrangements to create impressions arising from the direct juxtaposition of contrasting tones. He is interested here in the relativity of color perception. In each "COLOR WHEEL," one dominant color is generated by the lines of paint in different shades. The colors that do not belong to the range of the base color serve to lend the surface rhythm, like the blue lines do in "COLOR WHEEL 9," for example. The multicolored lines complement each other and form a shimmering wheel that pulls the viewer's gaze around it in a circular motion.
The exhibition's largest work might thus be construed as something of a riddle: "COLOR WHEEL 5" is namely painted completely in shades of gray. The piece was born of Wegner's fascination with the scientist John Dalton, who first diagnosed color blindness in 1798.
For his series "D65," Wegner took inspiration from the California sunshine. The radial gradients evoke visions of the glow of the sky at dawn, dusk, and every moment in between. Wegner chose "D65" for the title because it is the abbreviation for "normal light" with a color temperature of around 6500 Kelvin, equivalent to the light on an overcast day.
The two shades from which the color spectrum is derived are painted onto the inner and outer edges of the wooden discs. On the surface, Wegner sprays the different shades evenly into and over one another, creating countless nuances of color. The soft gradient, the lightness of the paint application, in which the weightlessness of the spray mist remains palpable, the void in the center of the wheel, and not least the reflection of color onto the white wall draw the viewer's perception away from the corporeality of the object and towards a more nebulous impression. "D65" is a tribute to light; intangible, atmospheric, and ephemeral: "Air lit by sun in the arc of a day" (Peter Wegner).

Policing is not simply a job for police officers. It actually requires a large multi-disciplined team working together and making best use of the skills and resources available.
In fact, a large proportion of GMP's workforce is made up of both uniformed and non-uniformed staff roles. These roles play a crucial part in supporting frontline policing.
Whether you're interested in a public-facing role or playing your part behind the scenes, there are a number of potential career options.

Sample IBM dashboard being used by K-12 school districts to monitor the complete lifecycle of student performance. (PRNewsFoto/IBM)
(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20090713/NY45010 )
Mobile County Public Schools System (MCPSS) is the largest school district in Alabama, with an enrollment of over 63,000 students in 95 schools covering 10 incorporated cities and a population base of over 400,000. Committed to fulfilling national education standards, MCPSS officials found it difficult to tap into their vast student information stores using their previous reporting system. Information for each academic year was in separate physical databases, rendering simple report generation into a multi-stepped, complex process that ultimately provided limited student performance insights that were often out-of-date or inaccurate.
After an extensive review of competitive offerings, MCPSS turned to IBM analytics technology to improve its student performance management practices. In collaboration with IBM business partner DecisionEd Group, MCPSS will deliver accurate analytics for up to 5,000 users across the school district, including central office administrators, principals, guidance counselors and teachers.
Customizable dashboards will give them access to up-to-date reports and measures, offering users the transparency they need to quickly and effectively gauge how well their schools are delivering education programs, and monitor the entire academic lifecycle of each student, including class attendance, grades, interventions and any special educational requirements. With information in hand, teachers can then tap into the school district's Teacher Resource for Instructional Planning (TRIP) website, access special lesson plans and individualize instruction according to each student's needs, while still protecting confidentiality.
School district executives are particularly focused on tracking students who are at risk of dropping out of school. With the previous student performance management solution, school administrators had to wait for quarterly reports from the central office. The longer it took to get information out to the fields, the greater the risk of students dropping out. With IBM technology, all information will be available locally for immediate insights. A set of notifiers built into the IBM system will proactively alert the proper personnel once a student has crossed specific "At Risk" thresholds, such as absenteeism and grade levels. With this advanced warning system, school officials will be able to focus on preventing or resolving issues before they escalate, helping steer students on the right path and monitoring their progress moving forward.
This smarter system will also ensure that schools do not bear the education burden alone. MCPSS partners with the Mobile County District Attorney's Office on a number of special joint education initiatives, including the Early Warning Truancy Program, and the Multiple Education Pathways Blueprint Initiative, which is designed to help connect high school dropouts to alternative learning opportunities. With the help of IBM, MCPSS expects to foster a more comprehensive exchange of critical, real-time student information with the District Attorney's Office in order to more effectively engage youth in career preparation and encourage them to pursue an education.
The Obama Administration has made education reform one of its top priorities. Each year, only 70 percent of American high school students graduate, and only 39 percent of adults between the ages of 25 and 34 have a post-secondary degree. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) includes $41 billion in total grants to local school districts, ensuring they receive the support they need to improve education standards and help enhance the nation's long-term prosperity.
"Mobile County Public Schools has an important mandate to fulfill - one that plays a critical role in the development of every student in our school system. To ensure that each student learns to high standards, we needed a smart system in place where we could easily access and share real-time student information and identify where we are successful, and where we are not meeting the needs of our students," said David K. Akridge, executive manager of information technology services at Mobile County Public Schools. "Through invaluable information insights delivered by IBM technology, we move closer to fulfilling our mission of graduating citizens who are prepared with the skills they need for the 21st century."
IBM analytics and business intelligence is also expected to help MCPSS comply with ARRA transparency and reporting mandates. Despite intense fiscal pressures around the world, economic stimulus programs offer the opportunity to foster real innovation in the way education is delivered.
Over $1.7 billion has been earmarked to the State of Alabama, of which $26 million will go directly to MCPSS under Title I, which constitutes funds to help educators improve education for academically at-risk students and close the achievement gap among schools while stimulating the economy. "IBM gives us the capabilities we will need to quickly monitor funding effectiveness, track individual programs against key performance indicators, adjust plans accordingly to ensure optimal delivery, and deliver detailed reports up the chain, showing progress and successes to date," added Akridge.
Analytics and business intelligence is driving new innovation in information management as organizations transform the way they use information to better understand what is going on inside their business.
"Educational institutions are challenged to identify what critical drivers impact student performance, and then adjust accordingly to maximize each child's opportunity to a quality education," said Robert Dolan, government and education industry executive at IBM. "With the right information at their disposal, educators and school administrators can then take the next step to creating a smarter education system, safeguarding the academic welfare of every student and paving their way towards a successful future."
IBM's Academic Initiative works with 9,200 faculty members from 4,600 educational organizations worldwide to help them prepare students for emerging career opportunities that span the future of business and technology.

New Jersey Has 2 Powerball Winners [POLL]
A Minnesota project engineer has come forward as 1 of 3 winners of $448 million Powerball jackpot while the two New Jersey winners remain a mystery.
A spokeswoman for the New Jersey Lottery says one of the tickets was purchased at a Super Stop & Shop store in South Brunswick and the other one at an Acme Markets store in Little Egg Harbor.
The Lottery will hold a press conference at the Stop & Shop to talk about the prize money. Each winning ticket is worth $86 million before taxes if taken in a lump sum.
The lottery says the two stores that sold the tickets will each get $30,000. Phil Weber, director of the Acme Markets store where the winning ticket was sold, said Thursday that the store would donate $10,000 in gift cards to local charities. Weber said some of the store's employees are still out of their homes more than nine months after the storm. The store itself has been making donations since Sandy, Weber said.
Wednesday's numbers were: 05, 25, 30, 58, 59, and Powerball 32.
Meanwhile, the Minnesota winner, Paul White, of Ham Lake, was introduced Thursday afternoon at a news conference at the Minnesota State Lottery's headquarters. White says he learned he was holding a winning ticket Thursday morning after his "significant other" called him to say one of three winners had been sold in Minnesota. He says he purchased two tickets for Wednesday's drawing, and found one matched all six numbers.
Third Largest Jackpot Ever
By the time of the drawing, the jackpot grew from $425 million to an estimated $448 million, the third largest in game history.
New Jersey's Powerball sales were averaging approximately $3,200 per minute late Wednesday afternoon.
Powerball has been very friendly to the Garden State. New Jersey celebrated a jackpot win on March 23 as Pedro Quezada hauled in $338 million with a ticket he purchased in Passaic. Powerball created 34 New Jersey Lottery millionaires in Fiscal Year 2013, which ended on June 30.

I really enjoyed this product, when placed over a gloss glaze it gives the area a slight rainbow shine (much like oil on pavement). I recommend it for areas that you want to look more like water.

Arctic Spas offers the following premium continuous cast acrylic colors. Three of these colors (Ponderosa Pine, , Dakota and Kalahari) are not available on any other brand of hot tub. Dakota and Kalahari are popular due to their natural ability to retain their original appearance longer than any other solid glossy color.
All of our current acrylic options feature Bio-Lok microbe shield.
Bio-Lok surfaces are naturally impervious to microbes, without the need of added chemicals. The non-porous nature of Bio-Lok acrylic defends against the penetration and growth of microorganisms on its surface. The surface is easy to clean, durable, and do not contain any anti-microbial chemicals, pesticides or similar additives.
*Check with your local dealer for availability
Ponderosa Pine, Dakota and Kalahari from Aristech are unique in that they are textured surfaces.
Not only do they hide minor scratches much better than smooth surfaces, but they do provide a little more traction – a nice peace of mind when children or those who aren' t moving so smoothly are considered.
These three surfaces are exclusive to Arctic Spas®.
Classic Range Colours
*On classic range models only (including Timberwolf, Churchill and Laurentian).
Half and Half
Half & Half was inspired by our Gypsum (Contour™ Mineral) and modernized through the incorporation of Quarite® particulates, resulting in a perfect balance of subtle texture and sophisticated shimmer, offering a completely luxurious and luscious hot tub experience.
Mediterranean Sunset
Reminiscent of a spring sunset over the Mediterranean this hot tub contains both warm (vanilla cream and red fox) and cool tones (thunder cloud) either of which can be accentuated by combining a warm-tone or a cool-tone skirt.
Mayan Copper
Inspired by Dark Mayan Cocoa and the treasures of ancient civilization, a Mayan Copper hot tub creates an atmosphere of deep luxurious warmth. Feel the richness of the colors envelop you as you relax in your hot tub.
Ocean Wave
A shimmering combination of ocean blue and surf white, our Ocean Wave opal marbel sheet brings the ocean to your hot tub. Just close your eyes and hear the waves.
Platinum Swirl
Taking the market's most popular color to the next level – adding stunning movement and luxurious marbling to enhance the beauty of a timeless classic. Bathe in the elegance of classic marble with the new Platinum Swirl.
Midnight Opal
Reminiscent of a full moon over calm seas, our Midnight Opal marble brings a sense of serenity to your hot tub experience.
We are now offering two new acrylic colours for all Arctic Spas and 7' Essential spas
(not including Summit XL or All Weather Pools).

NEW YORK – Elektra Kurtis and Ensemble Elektra will make their debut performance
at the prestigious Leonard Nimoy Thalia at Symphony Space in Manhattan's Upper West
Side on July 16 presenting her new work, "Bridges From The East."
Violinist, composer and educator Elektra Kurtis has an expansive multi-cultural background.
Of Greek origin, she was raised in Poland and graduated from the Warsaw Conservatory at
Miodowa, prior to completing her studies in Finland at the Sibelius Academy of Music in
Helsinki. As a NYC resident for over twenty years, Elektra and her own group, Ensemble
Elektra (featuring violinist Curtis Stewart; clarinetist Lefteris Bournias; drummer Reggie
Nicholson; and bassist Kenny Davis), is dedicated to bridging cultural borders and genres of
music, using the essence of Mediterranean music, spiced with Polish, Greek and Arabic flavor,
based in contemporary jazz and classical music forms. With the goal of bringing a fresh
perspective to music, mixing the modern beat of NYC life with the ensemble's multi-ethnic
"Bridges From The East" features compositions by Elektra separated into three sections –
"Rhapsody in Greek", "Dedications" and "Polish Fantasy on Folk Themes". According to the
composer, the title of the event, "Refers to how I compose and view myself in the world, and in
music. With my multicultural upbringing and experiences, I constantly find what connects the
many music traditions and genres and see the similarities of emotions and expressions. I
consider myself as being from the East. Eastern Mediterranean – Greece – and living in the
eastern US, playing eastern modes, and non-Western music, and the list could go on. 'Bridges
from the East' is like casting a rainbow from one end of horizon to the other."
Having performed throughout the US, Europe and Finland in numerous chamber ensembles,
symphony orchestras, ethno-music ensembles (Greek and Gypsy music), Elektra is thrilled to
have the opportunity to perform at Symphony Space with her own world jazz ensemble. "I have
wanted to play there since I first visited New York City in 1984. I was staying on 92nd Street and
passed by this hall every day. I thought, one day I will perform my music here!"
Integrating the musical traditions and style she has experienced and assimilated throughout her
life, Kurtis' inspiration comes from jazz, blues, Greek folk and Rembetiko music with its
taksims, as well as from Bartok, Strawinski, and Bach, among others. She started, at home, in a
family of Egyptian Greek refugees in Poland, learning about her heritage. She grew up in
Warsaw listening to a broad range of music from avant-garde contemporary music created in the
sixties and seventies, to Bartok, to jazz recordings from the US, to Greek folk music. Later, as a
student of classical violin in Finland, she also studied harmony, analysis and classical music
forms and performed concerts, in theatrical and television productions, radio broadcasts and
recorded the music of notable Finnish composers such as Edward Vesala and Toni Edelman.
Finally making New York City her home, Elektra's music expresses her view of the world
through the lens of her own special style and technique. She has performed with such stellar jazz
luminaries as Lester Bowie, Gerry Mulligan, Paquito d'Rivera, Lionel Hampton, Shirley Horn,
Ray Barreto, Max Roach. She toured with the legendary Cuban bassist Israel "Cachao" Lopez
and observed his use of montunos, and studied arabic classical music with Simon Shaheen and
played in his Near Eastern Ensemble. She has performed the music of contemporary composers
such as John Rutter, Anthony Davis, John Zorn, Akua Dixon-Turree, Carman Moore, and Henry
Threadgill in venues such as the Knitting Factory, Irving Plaza, the Next Wave Festival at the
Brooklyn Academy of Music, Carnegie Hall, Avery Fisher Hall, Lincoln Center, Apollo Theatre.
Always staying true to her roots, she has also been a member of a Greek traditional music group
under the leadership of guitarist Vangelis Fampas.
With her group, Ensemble Elektra, whose members' diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds
(African, Caribbean, Greek and Polish American) bring their own flavor to the music, she has
released three records – 2000's The Book of Time; AFROdite's Smile, which was released in 2005;
and 2010's Cutting Through.
Recently receiving a grant from LMCC to help support her July show at Symphony Space,
followed by a performance on August 12 at the Cornelia Street Café, Elektra's goal is to reach
listeners far and wide. With her unique blend of jazz, blues, and classical, with African,
Egyptian, Greek, and Mediterranean improvisation practices in folk music, she celebrates the
human spirit and the universal need of spontaneous expression through music.

Twitter's bad news is a bad business
People who use Twitter, a service which posts short updates to the Web and cell phones, love nothing more than to Twitter about themselves, and the medium they've so enthusiastically adopted. If you go by the Twitterers' collective reporting, every event, from an earthquake in Los Angeles to terrorist bombings in Mumbai, is more notable for the fact that people are writing about it on Twitter than for its inherent interest as news. The dominant narrative of Twitter is the rise of Twitter, the latest force to displace the mainstream media and roil the world's information economy. Too bad the real story of the company is one of top-to-bottom incompetence.
'Twas always thus. Twitter was never really a company; it was a feature invented at another forgotten startup, spun off into its own venture. The programmer who came up with the idea for Twitter, Jack Dorsey, was named CEO, while Twitter's better-known backer, Ev Williams, a Webhead who struck it rich by selling Blogger to Google five years ago, dithered about how much he wanted to be involved.
Despite Williams' seeming indifference, Twitter took off — so much so that a crush of new users strained its servers, to the point that the service became famous for its technical incompetence. (The "fail whale," a cheery cetacean icon displayed when Twitter's website was unavailable, now appears on T-shirts in San Francisco and Brooklyn.)
In its business affairs, too, Twitter is proving incompetent. Most Web 2.0 startups run cheaply, but Twitter faces large bills from cell-phone companies which charge it for forwarding text messages to cell phones; the more it grows, the more it pays. And it has yet to announce publicly a way to make money.
That's not to say it doesn't have a scheme. The latest one we've heard floated: Twitter would charge companies to have verified Twitter feeds, so users would know that a message from, say, ExxonMobil really came from the oil company. (It's not as hypothetical as it sounds; a Twitter user inexplicably impersonated ExxonMobil this summer.) Verified accounts might then pay Twitter for every message they send, and also get prominent listing in a Twitter directory.
If that sounds like utter nonsense, the fever-dream imaginings of a desperate business-development executive high on whiteboard-marker fumes, that's because it is.
With no real hope of making money on its own, Twitter's best hope is a buyout. But its executives have handled that poorly, too. Dorsey botched talks with Yahoo and then Facebook; he didn't even tell his own board of directors he was talking to Facebook about a proposed $500 million acquisition. After that, he was fired as CEO and replaced by Williams, but stayed on as chairman, a nominal job which doesn't require his presence at the Twitter office. One prominent Silicon Valley investor is fuming that Dorsey is still on the payroll at all.
This Mickey Mouse operation is the future of news? That's not the most frightening prospect. Even if Twitter were competently run and profitable, the end result is an unreadable jumble. Look closely at the coverage, if you can call it that, of the Mumbai attacks on Twitter. Sitting at their desks in the U.S., most people had nothing to add except to observe that Mumbai used to be called Bombay — the kind of message that makes you wish Twitter's length limit was zero characters, not 140.
As more users join, the Twitter feed becomes filled with more and more noise; repetitive retweetings, back-scratching praise, and self-congratulation. A set of amateurs celebrating each other not for the quality or insight of their reporting, but its brevity, swiftness, and modish form of delivery. You read it here on first. Unless you heard about it on Twitter.

startapreschool necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 106 diseños de 28 diseñadores freelance.
Start a Preschool.com
Start a Preschool.com is a website that teaches stay-at-home moms how to start preschools (NOT DAYCARES) in their home by teaching preschool classes to children ages 3-5. I designed the logo and site myself 6 months ago to get the site launched, and now want a fresh, truly PROFESSIONAL take on it all!
Women ages 25-45: Stay-at-home moms with preschool-age children, working moms who want to stay home with their kids but still need to make money.
We want our current logo redesigned, and now need (1) logo that is:
IN-YOUR FACE (you can look at it and immediately know you want to go to that website)
The logo should include the words:
Start A Preschool.com
You may use all caps if you'd like, but the words need to be spaced as shown above (or you can have them on different lines of course) with Preschool.com just one word.
Please use our dominant color scheme (black/green/white) and possibly accents of maroon as you like in the design. We're hesitant to use other colors. You can view our current website here to see our previous logo and color scheme: http://www.startapreschool.com Also, you can view our CD design here: http://www.startapreschool.com/imag…argecd.jpg
Our current design was based on a chalkboard/chalk theme, but we'd love to see that theme re-invented OR see a whole new design! Seriously - show us something totally NEW to WOW us! And we'd love to see a HOME image/design incorporated as well. (Please do NOT use a sun in the design.) Please do NOT use silly, outdated clipart. The more simple and STRAIGHT-FORWARD the design, the better.
We do like the simple, stylized logo of: http://www.ontray2go.com
We do NOT want an unprofessional logo like: http://prekfun.com
Logo should be .ai or .eps format.
