here's my experience of 5.1.1
first off all loaded fine and the first thing was to get touchpad tapping and scrolling working, tapping worked out of the box edge scrolling would not, then I thought I'd configure for my country (keyboard etc), so when I'd finished that scrolling worked tapping didn't, every time I ticked the box enable touchpad tapping, closed and reopened the mouse properties box, touchpad tapping tick in the box was gone.
All this became redundant after a couple of reboots as on boot up always get "kernel panic can't sync (something, sorry can't remember) tried 5.1.0 same kernel panic message, tried different memory stick, different machine, checked md5sum same evey time
Now happily back with 4.3.1

Subject description: Bad shutdown recovery
Oops, I started a new topic (Bad Shutdown Recovery) that should have gone here. Full install accidental shutdown recovery apparently only works with EXt2, it just blew by on this ext3 formatted full install.

Post subject: Arguments erased during "panel item" copy
Subject description: argument field entries are not carried over to the copy of a panel item.
Lucid Puppy 5.1 and 5.2 (241).
Dell Desktop
When an item, already displaying on the panel, is duplicated as a second copy on the panel, the Argument field's contents do not get copied to the new copy.
To test:
1. Enter some value into the Argument field of any of the items on a panel (after opening the item with the "Edit item" option.).
2. Drag that item, using your mouse, to an empty location on the panel, and drop it there.
3. Do an "Edit item" on the newly created icon.
4. Observe that the argument field is empty (should have had the value entered in "1", above.)

Last night i installed xfce4 and every thing was good but i uninstalled xfce4 and went back on JWM ,so far so good ?
Bad news is that now i cant reboot ,shutoff or restart x server from the menu.
The only way to reboot or shutoff is by the terminal.
Full install lupu 511,firefox, on a PIII Toshiba Satellite laptop,RAM is 192MB.

I must have tried 5.1.1 on 2 dozen or more machines and never saw that Paul. (many of those with the same usb key installation). What filesystem is on the key? I usually use ext2. I know many prefer FAT for windows compatibility. Filesystem may not even be the problem. Some things have been changed in the init script since 431. If can you try another key, let us know if it still happens.
I suspect, as you apparently do, that it is hardware-dependent. It does have ext2 on it. It is a Patriot Rage 8GB drive, supposedly the fastest flash drive available.
I went into the icon manager and told it to redraw the drive icons, but that didn't do anything.
This is an annoyance, but not very important. I'd rather dig into Puppy Package Manager which needs attention and is very important.

Post subject: Xgamma-gui
Subject description: smoother change of Gamma Values
It is a nice feature to have the possibility to calibrate the RGB channels of the screen. xgamma-gui is the frontend for the programm xgamma which provides this feature. In puppy quickset it is called from
However the version of the xgamma-gui included in 511 is buggy. This stems from a difference of the values provided by the gui-spinboxes and the required parameters from the xgamma program.
xgamma takes 3 parameters (floating point). Each of this parameters ranges from
0.1 (darkest) over 1.0 (default) to 10.0 (brightest)
xgamma-gui is build with spinboxes which range from
0 (should be the minimum) over 100 (default) to 200 (should be maximimum).
The values are simply cut from a string and fed to the xgamma program, so this gives some quirks for small values (less the 3 digits). The spinboxes are also linear, whereas the input to xgamma covers an exponential range (physiological features always follow exponential/logharitmic measures).
I tried to reimplemt the gui using the following simple transformation:
x--> y: y=10^(x/100)
whereas x denotes the linear spinbox values and y denotes the values need by xgamma
This allows spinnboxes which have a minimum at -100 (darkest), 0 (default) and +100 (brightest). The following graph shows the functional relation:
#Written by PANZERKOPF
#100215 hacked by BK
#101207 hacked by EW
# this is a Xdialog frontend for the xgamma program - setting colour calibration for the screen
# It is using the 3 RGB channels
# xgamma uses a logharithmic scale for the gamma values (0.1 - darkest, 1.0 - default, 10.0 - brightest) -> Y Values
# The GUI uses a linear scale (going from -100 - darkest, 0.0 - default, +100 - brightest) -> X Values
# The transformation is given by Y=10^(X/100)
# the calculation has to be performed with bc,
# to use decimal values in the exponent the equation must be rewritten Y = exp ( X/100 * log (10))
# or, setting the precision to 3 decimal points using bc command: Y=$(echo "e( "$X"/100 * l(10))" | bc -l)
# The reverse transformation is XRED=$(echo "scale:0; 100 * l($YRED) / l(10)" | bc -l)
TITLE="Monitor Gamma calibration"

# make transformation x-->y
YRED=$(echo "scale=3; e( "$XRED"/100 * l(10))" | bc -l)
YGREEN=$(echo "scale=3; e( "$XGREEN"/100 * l(10))" | bc -l)
YBLUE=$(echo "scale=3; e( "$XBLUE"/100 * l(10))" | bc -l)
#apply gamma values
xgamma -rgamma ${YRED} -ggamma ${YGREEN} -bgamma ${YBLUE}
# if default values we dont need xgamma at startup, so remove the file. This saves time in .xinitrc
if [ "$XGAMMA" = "0 0 0" ]; then
rm -f $HOME/.xgamma-gamma
# else ask if we want to save the current values and create a startup calibration file
Xdialog --yesno "Save current configuration?" 0 0
if [ ${?} -eq 0 ]; then
echo -n "xgamma -rgamma $YRED -ggamma $YGREEN -bgamma $YBLUE"' &' > $HOME/.xgamma-gamma
#...xgamma is executed in /root/.xinitrc
echo "Saved"
download at
If you want to test it just run the script.
If you want to replace the built in xgamma-gui, just rename the script (to xgamma-gui)and place it in /usr/sbin (and make it executeable).
Doing the necessary calculations was a bit tricky using the "bc" program, but I think it works fine. It is also my 2nd script so there is surly room for improvements. I would especially like to see "instant" changes, i.e the gama values change while spinning the values in the dialog box. If anybody has an idea how to achieve that ( a clue might by that xdialog has an option where it writes the values to stdout each n milliseconds).
kind regards

Post subject: Ralink rt61pci ndiswrapper problems
I've got a WIFI issue that as far as I can find out is not the fault of the puppy team (phew), but is bound to frustrate a lot of puppy users.
Network Wizard or Simple Network Setup made no difference.
I've got a D-Link pci card that needs the rt61pci driver.
The serialmonkey totally free GPL driver on most distros
goes but drops connections often for me, as the signal strength is low.
Go ndiswrapper.....ah not this time.
Previous puppies worked okay. This time nidiswrapper gives me errors on the win-xp .INF file with "invalid module".
I worked out it could no longer make the connection to the rt61.sys file.
None of the wizards work all stopping at the ndiswrapper error, so I did it manually:
Okay I copied that rt61.sys across to where ndiswrapper has its stuff (/etc/ndiswrapper/netrt61g/) and then in a console:
ndiswrapper -l
Now it seemes to work (apart from the "Depreciated config file" errors, but only if I do this to turn off the native driver
rmmod rt61pci
A few other conficts and errors came up. It's still not reliable. It hangs sometimes.
But then.. if you need it, the native rt61pci works kind of okay, if you install RutilT as it seems to help restore a dropped connection saving redoing all that setup in the wizards again.
For more reliability I tried to compile Ralinks own drivers.
- failure - "CFLAGS was changed in....Makefile. Fix it to use EXTRA_CFLAGS"
Seems other users on other distros have had similar problems trying to do the same. Ralinks drivers have been historically hard to compile.
All this is a dis to ndiswrapper developers and to Ralink for not keeping up with newer kernels or making robust code.
What to learn from this?
I don't know. Perhaps a little more debugging help in the network scripts?
A friendly "It's not puppy's fault: ndiswrapper said "#####" Try getting help on the puppy forum."
It would be a shame to loose lots of frustrated users because they can't get on the net. The network wizard scripts are great and tough.
A don't give up "this could be a way out" answer instead of a dead end no answers and the user's "Now What" frustration might keep the spirit going when underlying problems from non puppy sources mess it all up.

Here's a fun one: I was bragging about Puppy 5.1.1 and showing to a Linux newbie. Then I got clicky and cocky and was showing how to change the desktop.
I clicked on JWM configuration and clicked on "Or apply current gtk theme to JWM" and my tray/panel dissappeared!
They didn't need it, it was just a save file on their computer and I think we found
a solution
but I don't know for sure since I don't have access to it right now...ps: it had nothing to do with autohide as that was selected as off...weird..

I have a problem that shows up if I leave Puppy running overnight. The sound on a youtube turns to garbage, really weird noises, sounds like someone hammering on a pipe. However, "aplay /usr/share/audio/2barks.au" still works.
When I first boot I have no problem. It seems to work all day no problem, just goes bad overnight when the machine is idle. And, if I get this problem, and run through the alsawizard again, the problem goes away.
I see this sa me thing on completely different machines (although they may both be using snd_hda_intel).
I found that if I do "/etc/init.d/alsa stop" and then "/etc/init.d/alsa start", it fixes the bad noises.

Post subject: Multimedia Troubles
Subject description: (almost) Nothing seems to work
I re-installed Lucid 5.1.1 Frugal the other day, but now have no multi-media programs working. Gnome Mplayer opens up, but won't play any audio or video files.
VLC won't even open up.
SMplayer starts, but I keep getting this message:
"MPlayer has finished unexpectedly. Exit code: 127"
The fact that nothing is working suggests to me there is a problem in my setup, not just with the software itself. But I'm not sure where to look.
any suggestions will be gratefully received.
I have discovered that PMusic and Pcd - CD Audio Player do work. But still none of the others.
Dell Latitude D630 running Puppy 5.2.8 frugal, Macpup 525 frugal (if I can get it working again. Sadly, I couldn't get it fixed

I see a strange thing with Rox. If I am in certain directories, such as /tmp and sometimes /root, I get at the top of the window the note "(Scanning)" about every 2 seconds. Very irritating...

Subject description: Memorex DVD +R capacity problem
I bought some memorex DVD +R disks with a rated capacity of 4.37 gigs.
In Puppy 5.11, the disks are reported as only having 2.20 gigs capacity.
In Windows Vista, the full capacity is seen.
So my question is does Puppy need an updated driver for the DVDrw/CDrw drive?
BTW, I discovered this after burning the large LightHouse G iso as an image to the DVD and even though Puppy is supposed to leave the session open on the DVD, it closed the session as well as not seeing the full capacity of the disk.

Hi all,
On my Toshiba nb200, it finds all network interfaces, and sound from the speakers works.
After adding "options snd-hda-intel model=auto" to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf also the internal speakers work.
However, the whole thing will freeze after anything from a few seconds to a minute if there is no mouse or keyboard activity. This means that for example right now typing this the cursor will stop blinking and the animated emoticons on the left will stop being animated after some time. More annoyingly music and video experience the same problem. Making Lupu for my purposes unusable. When I move the mouse everything resumes as normal. (For example if I left it frozen for 5 seconds and move the mouse my song playing resumes 5 seconds from where it froze.)
The same problem happens in all fluppy versions. I believe it is a kernel problem because when I moved the kernel from fluppy into puppy 4.3.1 the same problem appeared.
I really hope someone can figure this one out. I don't think that it's a puppy problem though.
An expert is just a beginner with experience.
Shamelessly representing

I made package of laptop goodies for Lucid 5.2. Package consists of Frisbee wireless unofficial, acpid-1.0.10-1, acpitool, xbindkeys, xbindkeys-config, vattery-ibam and Iguleder`s ppower. The original usage was in woof build Lucid 5.1.1 based derivative, so this laptop-001.pet should work in both Lucid 5.1.1 and Lucid 5.2.
Scripts are mostly from Fluppy 010. Thank you Jemimah. Frisbee script is from 4.1.2011 frisbeefix-2.pet, other Frisbee stuff is from Fluppy 010 and connectwizard update is done by me.
These addons enable more laptop buttons and Fn keys. Shutdown button shuts down, Zz button suspends to ram, PrtSc button launches mtPaint-snapshot, Multimedia keys play, stop, previous and forward uses and launches deadbeef, if you have it installed. My Luci compiled Deadbeef-0.4.4 is also in this post.
Frisbee is added to the connect wizard, not made as default like in smil99`s pet. Frisbee is still at beta phase and Jemimah hasnt made official pet of it yet.
Rfkill seems to shutdown and enable my wireless with wireless button, but Tempestuous rfkill kernel module update might be useful for some laptop users:
Vattery-ibam stuff gives you new battery menu-tray icon. The precision of ibam is somewhat questionable, but vattery gives you verbose warnings. The battery percentage in which the warnings comes, you can edit yourself in /root/.config/vattery. Just modify warning=15 and critical=5 values.
If you have enabled your cpu frequency scaling, the ppower menu-tray icon gives you possibility to change between cpu frequencies. This works better in Lucid 5.2 cause of better cpu frequency scaling app.

I have been informed that Java doesn't have built-ins that get PC information, so I went looking around the net and found this. It does WMI calls in a Java program, as I can tell. Because this is a class, I am trying to use it. I think I am doing this correctly. I took from examples and tried to make it my own.
So, when I compile it, get 2 errors from where I have the class. It says that "jWMI WMIV=new jWMI();" cannot find symbol for "jWMI".
What am I doing wrong?
I have copied the .class and .java to the same folder as the wmitest.java. Does it go somewhere else or am I looking at this all wrong?
Last, question. Am I doing this all wrong?
jWMI – Query Windows WMI from Java | henryranch.net

A Montana would-be robber breaks down in tears during crime, causing the clerk gives him a free meal to help feed his family. KTVH's Charlie Misra reports.
An apparent attempt to rob a Papa John's pizza restaurant in Montana's capital went awry when the would-be robber -- who was wearing a black hoodie with a red bandana covering his face -- started to cry.
According to the Helena Independent Record, a man entered the restaurant just after midnight Monday and gave the cashier a note demanding money. As the employee started to hand it over, the man broke down and confessed he was doing the deed for his wife and child.
"The clerk talked to him for a while," Helena Police Chief Troy McGee told the Independent Record, and determined that some free pizza, wings, and soda – to go – are what he really needed.
McGee told the Independent Record that a large knife fell out of the man's pocket while he was waiting for his food to cook. Once the food was in hand, the man left on foot.
"The clerk handled it well," McGee told NBC News. "You have to put yourself in his shoes in this situation. No one was hurt."
Police were still seeking to talk to the man, described as 5-foot-9 with a slender build, though they were not sure if charges would be brought against him, McGee said. "We'd sure hate to see him do something like this again," McGee said.
A manager at the Papa John's pizzeria declined to comment to NBC News.
"The safety of our customers and employees is our top priority," said Merisa Sanders, director of marketing for Mountain View Pizza, which owns the local franchise. "We're pleased no one was hurt."

Catholic University of America Celebrates 125 Years
Pope Benedict XVI sent his best wishes for the milestone and prayed for CUA's 'distinctive mission at the service of the Church and American society.'
WASHINGTON--The Catholic University of America celebrated the 125th anniversary of its founding on April 10, an occasion that brought "cordial good wishes" from Pope Benedict XVI.
In a letter sent to Cardinal Donald Wuerl of Washington, the Pope commended the university community to Mary.
He also prayed that the anniversary will be an opportunity for "renewed commitment to Catholic University's distinctive mission at the service of the Church and American society."
Cardinal Wuerl read from the letter during an April 10 Mass to commemorate Founder's Day at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington.
In his homily, Cardinal Wuerl said it is fitting that the anniversary is taking place "in the context of the Church's great celebration" of Easter, when the Church celebrates the "grandeur and uniqueness" of the message that Christ is truly risen.
Jesus charged Peter and the apostles with making disciples of all nations, and Catholic education is one way in which the Church carries out this charge, he said.
The April 10 Mass kicked off a week-long celebration of Pope Leo XIII's 1887 approval for the founding of The Catholic University of America as the national university of the Catholic Church in the United States.
When the university was inaugurated, it had just 46 students and 10 faculty members. Now, it educates more than 3,500 undergraduates and 3,000 graduate students from all 50 states and 85 countries.
Current university president John Garvey offered his congratulations for the achievements of the past 125 years and emphasized the importance of a continued commitment to service.
Garvey had challenged the university community to perform 125,000 hours of service over the past year, a goal that was easily surpassed and nearly tripled in recent months.
Cardinal Wuerl applauded the community for 125 years "of carrying out that great, great challenge" to be a light to the world.
As the university celebrates its anniversary, he said, "We light one more candle on that great lamp stand that is The Catholic University of America."

Unsnap Your JudgmentsMonday, June 20th, 2011

"Never judge a book by its cover." Although an often quoted sentiment and a noble goal, most of us ignore this sensible advice. In reality, we humans tend to be judgmental creatures who constantly evaluate each other on the basis of seemingly superficial details such as facial expressions, manners, vocal quality, clothing, and more. But here's some good news about this tendency to judge: it's not your fault! (more…)

Bullwinkle is quite adorable BUT I haven't put him up yet because the wood on which he is mounted has a hole. Please advise.

Purchased for my son's apartment in Pullman, WA. He's a freshman at Washington State University. He and his roommate love it. They hung it over their living room couch.

I received my artwork promptly, and it is beautiful. I love the concept of the piece and the fact that is on a durable slab of wood. I purchased it as a gift and I know it will be treasured, but unfortunately, I cannot send a photo at this time.

I found this photographer on Birds of Oregon. We live on Blue Heron Court so needed a picture of one. I had it done on wood, and it's perfect!

At first sight, all seems to be well with Central African Republic. Newly returned to the top 100 of the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking, Les Fauves (The Wild Beasts) also scored a historic win away to mighty Egypt in a 2013 CAF Africa Cup of Nations qualifier earlier this month.
Nevertheless, the day-to-day realities of life in the country pose many a problem for its footballers, as FIFA.com reports.
Beneath the towering trees of the Central African Republic's rainforest, in the outskirts of Mbaiki, about an hour by road from Bangui, there lies a football pitch. To the locals it is more than just a pitch, it is a "stadium".
To local eyes it is one of the better pitches around, yet running through it is a path used by livestock and people alike, while one part of the playing surface is bare ochre-coloured earth and the rest is dotted with patchy tufts of grass. Such is its condition that controlling a ball on it would be nothing short of a miracle.
And yet despite its inadequate state, the players of Les Viperes and Les Finances, who are facing each other in a match in the local Ligue de la Lobaye, still manage to bring the ball under control, dribble, swerve and feint past their opponents. Reacting intuitively to the inevitably unpredictable bounce of the ball, these talented young improvisers are the pulsing lifeblood of the game in the CAR.
"The Ligue de la Lobaye is made up of seven teams and seven referees, four of them trained locally and three by FIFA," explained the league's president Jean Kongola.
The competition forms part of Mbaiki's regional league, which features 118 teams competing in sub-leagues. "We play from February to July," continued Kongola. "We start after the rainy season, and it's a bit of a rush to get things finished because the players all go away in July."
There is, as it turns out, a perfectly reasonable explanation for their sudden disappearance: "It's the caterpillar hunt. They appear at that time of year and all the players live in the forest to gather them. It's a source of food and income here."
*Essential infrastructures *
"If you make a pitch here without any fencing or protection, it gets destroyed within two days." The words are those of the President of the Central African Republic Football Association (FCF), Patrice Ngaissona, and the subject of his frustration is not the lack of resources in one of the local leagues but the facilities at the FCF's national football academy, near Bangui.
"I've got to welcome my national teams here. This is where they have to train," he added. "Everything and everyone walks over here: bullocks, sheep, people, you name it. A simple fence, paid for by FIFA, is a big thing for us."
Such basic necessities have to be funded by FIFA because the FCF does not have the means to pay for them itself. Aside from FIFA's Financial Assistance Programme (FAP), the government is its sole source of income, as Ngaissona explained: "Obviously there are other priorities than football here. We don't have a sponsor for the national team and we don't even have a partnership in place with a kit manufacturer."
Such is the shortage of funding that the money for the national teams' kits, and for the strips worn by the leading men's and women's clubs, comes from Ngaissona's own pocket.
"The only support football gets here comes from FIFA and individuals who do what they can to help the game develop," commented Jean-Marie Dickeis, a member of the FCF's Executive Committee and the chairman of its Women's Football Committee. "We've got former players who want to coach, but they need to be trained first. And even then, there are no training cones, no balls, nothing to help you bring your club to life. Coaches have to buy everything themselves."
There is a similar story to be heard at the FCF's headquarters: "In some offices you won't find any resources or equipment," revealed Ngaissona. "There are no computers and no internet, which means you have to use paper. There's no running water in this building and sometimes no electricity either, and the rain gets in too."
Built with money provided by FIFA through its Goal programme and opened in 2005, the building has suffered both from the weather and the financial difficulties that beset the FCF, prevented as it is from devoting money to the upkeep of past investments by its long-standing debt problems.
"The windfall we received from the FAP in 2010/11 came in very handy for us," he smiled. "But we gave the regional leagues priority. With the resources we have we can't do everything. We have to make choices in order to move forward, and with the new Goal project, we'll be able to do that."
I've got to welcome my national teams here. This is where they have to train. Everything and everyone walks over here: bullocks, sheep, people, you name it.
Figuring high among the FCF's priorities is women's football. The national first division 1 has a fixed calendar, kits and referees, with some of its female officials even taking charge of men's games. And though resources may be lacking, the same cannot be said of the desire to develop the game.
"I started to play football when I was 14, with the boys," said Tatiana Yangueko, the vice-chairwoman of the Women's Football Committee. "My adoptive father's two boys both played and I wanted to be like them, even though my adoptive mother said it wasn't something a girl should do.
"We used to play in our bare feet," she went on. "Women's teams were relegated to the fringes and there was no organisation. But we've got a championship up and running now and you know who the teams are and where they're going to play."
A sports journalist by trade, Yangueko took part in FIFA/AFP training courses in 2010, organised as part of FIFA's Win in Africa with Africa programme.
"Our girls are just as good as Marta, but no-one sees that," added a member of the FCF. As if to prove the point, one of the coaches in a match between Les Colombes and Les Amazones, played on a blaze pitch in Bangui, tries to attract the attention of a defensive midfielder by shouting, "Gattuso! Gattuso!", while one of the team's attacking midfielders goes by the name, during the game at least, of Cristiano.
Not far from there is another sign of football's popularity in the CAR, with a second division match in the Bangui league taking place on an artificial pitch at the Stade Barthelemy Boganda. Funded by FIFA and Win in Africa with Africa, the pitch hosts two games a day from Tuesdays through to Sundays, in all divisions in the Bangui league.
*A homecoming fit for heroes *
The heat of Bangui is stifling. There are few cars to be seen on the roads, which in reality are little more than forest tracks. There is poverty everywhere you look, though the hardships of life did not prevent the locals from flocking to Bangui's international airport a week last Sunday to welcome the national team back from Alexandria, where they had just defeated Egypt 3-2 in the first leg of their first-round 2013 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying tie.
People are rightly proud of Les Fauves, though the team still has to finish the job off in the return leg, to be played in Bangui this Saturday. The fact remains, however, that just getting into that position is an achievement in itself for Herve Loungoundji's side.
"It's so much more difficult for minnows like us," said Ngaissona. Perhaps fearful that the second leg may not go according to plan, he is refusing to get carried away. The stakes are high as well. Never before has the CAR qualified for the finals of a major international competition, a goal they are just three games away from achieving.
Loungoundji's young side is a mixed bunch. Some of his players ply their trade in the French and English second and third divisions, while others can be seen in some of Africa's major leagues, playing for sides of the calibre of Morocco's Raja Casablanca, or run out in the CAR's first division.
The side's recent and much-celebrated triumphs have come despite those differences in status, and together Les Fauves have given their proud fans something they are very grateful for: the chance to forget, just for a little while at least, the hardships of everyday life in the Central African Republic.

RFaxis, a fabless semiconductor company focused on innovative, next-generation RF solutions for the wireless and connectivity markets, announced the debut of its embedded antenna products. Taking an innovative approach to antennas, RFaxis will now have the ability to offer total front-end solutions. To head up its efforts, RFaxis has appointed noted industry veteran Ping Peng as Vice President, Antenna Products. Key among Peng's first initiatives will be to create the industry's first series of broadband, high efficiency, high gain embedded antennas.
"A true RF front-end includes an antenna, and many so-called front-end solutions available today are lacking antennas," noted Mike Neshat, President and CEO of RFaxis. "We feel that it was a natural fit for RFaxis to step in and solve this issue. Antennas make wireless a reality, and RFaxis will be delivering a series of patent pending, complete front-end reference designs based on our own RFeICs and antennas. With the introduction of this series, we will become a one-stop shop for complete RF front-end solutions."
RFaxis' patent pending RFeICs integrate the PA, LNA, transmit and receive switching circuitry, the associated matching network, and the harmonic filter all in a single-chip, single-die device. These RFeICs combine superior performance, high sensitivity and efficiency, low noise, small form factor, and low cost to form an ideal solution for applications requiring low power, extended range and bandwidth and small form factor.
With an initial focus on antenna solutions for Zigbee, Bluetooth, WLAN, WiMAX and mobile phone standards, RFaxis will offer a series of complete front-end products, as well as stand-alone, embedded antennas in the near future.
According to Peng, "I am truly excited to join the RFaxis team of innovators. RFaxis' RFeICs are the perfect platform and will give me the freedom to tailor antennas to different applications. Our antenna innovations, combined with RFaxis' RFeICs, will help bring antenna technology to the next level." Peng will be responsible for leading the day to day engineering, R&D, marketing, sales and manufacturing of all antenna products.
Peng has more than two decades of experience in R&D, systems engineering, manufacturing operation, business development and program management in the field of antenna and wireless components and systems. He has held senior engineering and management positions at AMP-Tyco Electronics, Foxconn Electronics, Pan International, Homer Technology and Maxsys Technologies, and received his PhD in Microwave from Lehigh University in Pennsylvania.

Older generation taking charge as bell ringers
One senior braves cold despite medical ailments
It's the time of year when you start to see and hear the bell ringers.
The Salvation Army's bell ringers are out in full swing, hoping to collect money for the less fortunate.
This holiday season, some of the people collecting for the Salvation Army may not be who you'd expect.
"I'm still out and still doing what I can," said 87-year-old Eleanor Rese.
She is at the red kettle every Friday for about two hours, despite how painful it may be for her.
"I have a sciatic nerve that is giving me problems, but I'm still doing it. I'm not going to let it beat me down," Rese said.
Rese said she and other seniors from the Woods of Cedar Run, a retirement community in Camp Hill, are staffing red kettles as part of a competition to raise as much money as possible.
For some, it is more than a competition.
"I'm just happy I can get up out of bed," Rese said.
Every dollar that goes into the bucket goes to help with providing food and gifts for 3,000 children around the Capital Area Region this Christmas.
"To see somebody that doesn't have this is going to help them," Rese said.
This is the second year they have raised money for the Red Kettle Campaign. Last year they raised $55,000 and already this year they've gotten almost $2,000. They are hoping to raise $60,000 this year.
"The more we can get in, the more we can help," Rese said.
As long as she is able to help, Rese said she doesn't plan on retiring any time soon.
If you would like to donate to the Salvation Army, the Red Kettle Campaign will be staffed until the week after Christmas.
Also, WGAL's annual Salvation Army Coats for Kids Drive runs through Dec. 15. The News 8 telethon is on Dec. 14.

The Federal Reserve ventures closer to raising interest rates in a move that could impact the cost of mortgages, car loans, corporate bonds, and a variety of other debts throughout the financial world. According to the Federal Reserve, "economic activity increased at a modest pace in most regions of the country" from October to November, indicating that the Fed sees enough data points to justify raising interest rates.
In a speech on Wednesday afternoon, Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen said she "look[s] forward" to an interest rate hike, as it will demonstrate that the economy has recovered from the Global Financial Crisis of 2008-2009.
"When the Committee begins to normalize the stance of policy, doing so will be a testament ... to how far our economy has come," she said. This hints at strong job gains that have continued throughout the last eight years from the historic lows set in 2009, when job losses, net worth losses among middle class Americans, and bankruptcies worsened at their highest level and at their fastest pace since the Great Depression.
Consumer Spending Signals Mixed
Yellen also demonstrated an upbeat outlook on consumer spending, calling it "particularly solid," although she did not refer to a particular indicator. Despite Yellen's optimism, personal consumption expenditure increases have sharply decelerated throughout 2015, and grew only 0.1% in September and October. At the same time, the Bureau of Economic Analysis sees higher wage gains that could point to rising inflation in 2016, which would embolden the Federal Reserve to increase interest rates.
Job Gains Embolden Fed
In addition to wage gains, job growth seems to improve even as consumption, GDP growth, and manufacturing activity remain low. According to independent payroll company ADP, private sector employment rose by 217,000 jobs in November from the prior month—far above expectations. The BEA has also reported strong gains throughout the labor market in terms of total jobs.
Some analysts believe this trend will result in full employment in 2016, which will likely embolden the Federal Reserve to raise rates further. "Job growth remains strong and steady. The current pace of job creation is twice that needed to absorb growth in the working age population," said Mark Zandi, Chief Economist at Moody's Analytics. "The economy is fast approaching full employment and will be there no later than next summer."
Janet Yellen acknowledged that job growth remains strong, but also said on Wednesday that the labor market was still "healing" and was not fully recovered. However, risks to job growth from the rising dollar, weak demand abroad, and weak PCE were not concerns for the Fed Chairwoman, who also noted that risks from abroad have mostly vanished after becoming chief concerns earlier in 2015.

I attended a very large NYC public high school. And by large I don't mean the physical building – though that was a pretty big WPA era monolith – I mean that 2400 hundred kids were shoved into a building probably built to accommodate a population half that size. So we did what so many other NYC public schools did, and still do, we started in shifts. By my senior year, I began the school day at 7:45 and ended at around 1:00. I left the house at around 6:45 for the subway, usually in the dark, and always tired.
I think about this more and more as my daughters approach high school and will inevitably have a commute to school adding an hour or so to their morning timeline. Recently, a slew of reports have come out confirming what most parents of teens already knew – teens have different body clocks, they stay up later and need to sleep in longer. Finally, studies have proven that teens need 8.5-9.5 hours of sleep and that schools that push start times to 8:30 or later see an increase in student performance and decrease in behavior issues. But, most school districts have not heeded the message.
So, I was really interested in learning about a new special on National Geographic Channel on November 30th at 8pm, "Sleepless in America." The special explores the importance of sleep on many facets of American Life, education being just one.
I really believe that true change in education can only come when parents band together to act on behalf of their kids and use their voting leverage and voices to affect change. Since many school districts site budget concerns as a reason for not changing the school start time it may take legislation (and support) to make districts move their start times and take this issue seriously. I'm not always sure if blanket legislation is the answer since schools have a myriad of different factions with which they must contend, and different populations that might need earlier start times to benefit parents' situations, but it certainly seems like the reasons for making school start later far outweigh the reasons to keep too early start times. The American Association of Pediatrics is recommending no start times before 8:30 am.
Tune in to Sleepless in America on November 30th on National Geographic Channel and think about how sleep, or lack thereof, affects you and your family in ways you may never have considered, but really should.

Adipex-P For Sale
Adipex-P For Sale, Test early, test often. Web development demands persistent testing throughout the entire process to identify issues early and deal with them before they require a large-scale overhaul. Internet Explorer (IE) usage is diminishing, buy Adipex-P without prescription, yet it remains the predominant browser for most sites. Japan, craiglist, ebay, overseas, paypal, In addition, users of IE do not always upgrade immediately, even when there is a new version with clear benefits over the old, fast shipping Adipex-P. Many IT departments prevent users from upgrading due to a dependence on or a lack of resources to roll-out a new browser and many users simply don't see a reason to upgrade. Plus, with the recent announcement that Microsoft plans to support Windows XP until 2014, IE6 - the default browser in XP - will be with us for some time, Adipex-P For Sale. Adipex-P use, Even the promise of Google Chrome Frame doesn't let us off the hook because we can assume it won't be installed for similar reasons. That leaves us with the burden of testing in multiple versions of IE.
In this article, I'll show you how to install multiple, purchase Adipex-P, legitimate versions of IE to speed up testing by taking advantage of two no-cost products available from Microsoft: Virtual PC (VPC) and Internet Explorer Application Compatibility VPC Images. Adipex-P mg, When we're done, you'll be able to confidently test in IE6, IE7 and IE8, purchase Adipex-P online.
While there are various "stand-alone" versions of Internet Explorer available, Get Adipex-P, none are officially supported and I always question their accuracy, especially for anything involving cookies, JavaScript or sessions, buy Adipex-P online no prescription, so I don't use them. Adipex-P For Sale, Fortunately, Microsoft provides free (as in beer) versions of IE in the form of Virtual PC images. Buy Adipex-P from mexico, You can choose IE 7 or 8 on Vista or XP SP3, or IE 6 on XP SP3. The limitations - such as their limited lifetime - the current images expire January 1, buying Adipex-P online over the counter, 2010, Adipex-P images, but new images should be released before then - and additional time to launch are far outweighed by the assurance gained by using the genuine article of an installed version of IE. Plus, you have the option to save or roll-back the state of the machine so it's a breeze to quickly try out new things such as Google Chrome Frame, Adipex-P price, coupon.
What's a Virtual Machine?
Good question. Simply put, a system Virtual Machine (VM) is an operating system running within a window on your computer, Adipex-P For Sale. Where can i buy Adipex-P online, When launched, a window appears that resembles another computer running on your desktop, taskbar and all, Adipex-P online cod. You can resize the window or switch to fullscreen mode and feel like you're using a different machine. Adipex-P recreational, In fact, you don't have to stop at just using a different browser. A major advantage provided by a virtual machine is the fact that the entire system is sandboxed, what is Adipex-P. Take advantage of that by installing and testing screen reader software Adipex-P For Sale, or other assistive technology that you may not want to use all the time on your host computer.
The Strategy: Upgrade to IE8, Herbal Adipex-P, Install IE6 as a VPC
So go ahead and upgrade to IE8 because of the reasons stated earlier, Adipex-P For Sale. My Adipex-P experience, In fact, IE8 includes a robust IE7 mode called Compatibility View which you can use for testing - it's accessed by the Developer Tools. So installing IE8 means you have IE7 built-in, rx free Adipex-P, which means you just need to install IE6 in a Virtual PC image. Adipex-P price, Of course, you may want to install a VPC with IE7 just to be sure, but the switching within IE8 is much faster than waiting for the VM to load and allocating space for another VPC (about 1.5GB), Adipex-P no prescription.
Here's how we'll do it: we'll install Virtual PC first and then set up individual virtual machines (VMs). Adipex-P For Sale, When we're finished, you'll be able to fire up a window with an instance of XP or Vista with a "real" (installed) version of IE and test with confidence. Online buying Adipex-P, Let's begin.
Here are 3 steps to get your virtual machines set-up:
- Download and install Microsoft VirtualPC
- Download licensed disk image from Microsoft of Windows with IE
- Create a virtual machine inside VirtualPC using the disk image
Here they are again, in detail:
- Download VirtualPC
- install VirtualPC
- Download IE Application Compatibility VPC Images
- Double-click the ".exe" file to expand the image (VHD file, canada, mexico, india, or virtual hard disk) to the location of your choice. Doses Adipex-P work, Note: these files will be greater than 1GB in size, so choose wisely.
- Create Virtual Machine Configuration (VMC) files
- In the Virtual PC console, click the "New…" button to launch the New Virtual Machine Wizard, cheap Adipex-P no rx. The option "Create a virtual machine" should be selected. Click "Next" to continue:
- Choose where to create the VMC file, which will contain the settings of the VM that loads the VHD, Adipex-P For Sale. Adipex-P maximum dosage, Personally, I prefer to keep it in the same location as the VHD. Click "Next".
- Now, no prescription Adipex-P online, we'll choose the operating system (it should be pre-selected) and review the default hardware selection. Is Adipex-P addictive, Note the low amount of RAM memory (128MB) - we'll adjust this in the next step. Click "Next":
- "Memory" - In this step, I recommend increasing the RAM from the recommended 128MB, Adipex-P trusted pharmacy reviews, so select "Adjusting the RAM" to reveal additional fields to "Set the RAM for this virtual machine." This virtual RAM will use the physical RAM available on your host machine, Adipex-P pharmacy, so choose a level that you'll be comfortable with. I recommend at least 512MB RAM if you can spare it and click "Next" to continue:
- "Virtual Hard Disk Options" use the default selection to use "An existing virtual hard disk" - we'll use the VHD we expanded in step 2.
- Adipex-P For Sale, "Virtual Hard Disk Location" Browse to the location of the VHD file we expanded in step 2. If you choose to "Enable Undo Disks" there will be an additional file created that is about the same size as the VHD file (>1GB) so bear that in mind. Personally, after Adipex-P, I use my VMs only for testing pages, not storing data, so I do not use this because the VM can save its state when you close it and it takes additional time to commit the changes to the Undo Disk on close.
- Finally, review your settings in the "Completing the New Virtual Machine Wizard" pane and click "Finish". Congratulations, now you're on your way to using your shiny new VM.

Another in the string of lawsuits spawned by the brief but eventful tenure of former Eureka Police Chief Garr Nielsen as been settled. EPD staffer Suzie Owsley has agreed to drop her harassment suit against the city in exchange for $150,000 cash plus an estimated $50,000 in leave accruals she used during the year she was out on stress leave. The cash portion of the settlement will be paid by the city's insurer. As the Times-Standard article notes, Nielsen's suit against the city is still pending. Awesome!

Strength in numbers nets Rice women swimming title
Recommended Video:
After waiting more than three decades for its first conference swimming title, Rice didn't have to wait long for another.
The Owls captured the Conference USA women's swimming and diving championship for the second time in three years on Saturday night at the University of Houston Recreation Center Natatorium.
Rice finished with 739 points to pull away from Houston (694.5) and defending champion SMU (664.5).
"Now we've come here and graduated from not just scoring a lot of points because we have a deep squad," said Rice coach Seth Huston, who was named C-USA Swim Coach of the Year. "We have some quality at the top end, and we're winning some events and soaking up some more points."
Rice won six events, including two by Casey Clark, and set nine school records during the four-day competition. The Owls do not field a diving team.
The Owls set the tone in Saturday's first event with Erin Flanigan and Quincy Christian finishing 1-2 in the 1,650 freestyle.
Houston stayed in contention by sweeping the top spots — accounting for 159 points — in three diving events. Julia Lonnegren won the 3-meter and platform events and was named C-USA Diver of the Meet.
Rice took the lead for good with four of the top eight finishers in the 100 freestyle, led by Clark's third-place finish. Clark won the 200 butterfly — in a C-USA- and school-record 1 minute, 57.35 seconds — and 100 butterfly.
Quincy Christian took the 400 individual medley for the third consecutive year, Kylee Talwar won the 200 IM and the Owls won the 200 medley relay.
UH, which will join the Big East next season, matched its best finish since 2009.
Heather Winn finished second in the 500 freestyle and third in the 200 free and 1,650 free. Natasha Burgess won the 1-meter diving event. UH set school records in four of its five relays.
UH diving coach Jane Figueiredo won her 12th consecutive C-USA Diving Coach of the Year honor.

*may vary by product type
– Finish – Colors – Coating

– Why Powder Coat?
– The Benefits of Powder Coating?
– The Powder Coating Process
Powder Coating is Eco Friendly
Our Powder Coatings are environmentally friendly and are an organic high quality finished surface providing integrity, durability, and a beautiful appearance over an extended period of time.
Powder Coating has been proven to be safer for the environment than wet paint applications. Most wet paints have solvents that are harmful to the environment. However, powder coat is solvent-free and applied electrostatically.
Ecologically there are no VOCs emitted and very little waste is produced because most powder coating overspray can be reused, greatly reducing the waste commonly found in liquid painting.
Environmental Impact of Powder Coating
Despite all the care that is taken to protect the environment, there are still benefits to be gained.
More importantly, the long term effect of powder coating the product for corrosion protection. Our coating system protects the metals which are exposed to the project conditions, which in turn enjoy a longer lifetime and require far less maintenance. Decay and early replacement of parts are prevented or at best minimized.
In the long run, powder coating will replace its counterpart, wet paint, in more and more areas. Technically, powder coating competes with wet paint head to head. In addition, powder coating is more friendly to the environment than wet paint, for the same cost, yet powder coating also has the advantage of superior mechanical and anti-corrosive properties. Whereas wet paint is all washed up!
Another advantage of using powder coatings is the subtraction of solvents. The powder is applied without any additives. The harmful emission of V.O.C., as used in wet paint, does not occur. The environment also benefits from the electrostatic adhesion of the metal to the powder particles. This adhesion creates a smooth and even layer that covers the edges of the metal object. This eliminates sharp edges that need to be ground into shape. The powder, not attracted to the substrate is contained and reused. Wet paint overspray has to be disposed of as chemical waste.
Why Powder Coat?
To protect steel from being affected by corrosion it may be provided with a powder coating. During this process, powder is electrostatically applied to galvanized or a black steel product. It is then cured. The very durable coating that is formed protects the underlying metal and gives the object a shiny and bright appearance.
The Benefits of Powder Coating?
Powder coatings are applied to steel, hot dip galvanized steel and aluminum as an anti-corrosive layer. The powder is electrostatically applied to the metal. No solvents are used in this process, which means that it is far more friendly to the environment than the alternative wet paint process. Powder that is not adhered can be reused, whereas over sprayed wet paint has to be disposed of as chemical waste.
Powder coatings have outstanding mechanical properties, they are elastic and resistant to impact and wear. This makes powder coating ideal for applications in areas with a high risk of damage, such as stairwells, public areas, gates, lamp posts, etc.
The method for applying powder coating, electrostatic spraying, results in a very good coverage of edges. This sharply contrasts with the wet paint process, where the pressure of the spray gun pushes the paint off the sharp edges. During the powder coating, the powder is attracted evenly to all surfaces.

Mrs. Griffin's Penny Helps Szegedy Win the Town Fair Tire "66/99"
LAKEVILLE, Conn. (Sept. 17) – One of the duties of a star in any racing championship is the PR meet and greets with VIPs, local movers and shakers, promoters, etc. At Lime Rock Park, fans that buy Fan Hospitality tickets also get a visit from a top driver. As polesitter for the Whelen Modified "66/99" Presented by Town Fair Tire for the second year in a row, Todd Szegedy volunteered to meet those fans at lunch time today, about 90 minutes before the start of the race. After hobnobbing with the fans in the hospitality chalet, as Szegedy was leaving a woman came up to him and handed him a "lucky" penny. "Put this in your pocket for the race," she advised.
And he did.
Then Szegedy went out and not only won the race, he did so after falling off the road not once but twice, willing himself back to the lead. After the race, Szegedy was asked, "Hey, you didn't really need that lucky penny, did you?"
"Oh, man, yes I did. I want to thank Mrs. Griffin for that!", as he dug the penny out of his pocket and showed it to the media. "I'm keepin' it!"
Wherever you stand on the value of talismans, Szegedy was an absolute animal in his #2 Wisk Detergent/A&J Romano Construction Ford. After leading handily in the first half of the race, a slow pit stop put him down three positions. Then trying too hard saw him slip off the road twice; once in the Downhill and the second time in Big Bend, as he was battling hard with Teddy Christopher on a re-start.
But he knew he had a very good car and was gonna win this race, no matter what.
"I said this morning, I'm not points-racing today – I'm racing to win this thing, come heck or high water," Sszegedy said post-race. "Man, this feels good."
Finishing second was another road race ace, Mike Stefanik, who had won full-bodied NASCAR races at Lime Rock when the stock cars raced here. Stefanik came from sixth on the grid and he too had to work his way back to the sharp end of the field at various times. Third in a fine effort was the young Justin Bonsignore, the 24-year-old looking calm and collected all day.
With just a dozen laps to go, the leader was actually Doug Coby, his team having given him a good pit stop late in the race, but on a re-start, Coby made a mistake in West Bend and put it hard in the fence under the Bailey Bridge. After a brief red flag to fix the Armco, it was Stefanik leading Szegedy. But within two laps of the re-start, Szegedy popped a pass going into Big Bend, and then gapped Stefanik the last four laps.
"And boy, I had some more luck, too," Szegedy said. "The last three laps, the engine was bucking and burbling in the Downhill– I was running out of gas!. But I didn't tell the crew, I didn't want them to have to suffer that knowledge. And it all worked out."
Besides making up for last year – Szegedy had led every lap last year, except for the final four – his win in the Town Fair Tire "66/99" did something else: It moved him to first in points, a scant 12 in front of Ronnie Silk, the points leader coming into Lime Rock who got tangled up in an eight-car real estate dispute in the Lefthander that put him a lap down and earned him a desultory 15th.
Rounding out the top 10 were Richie Pallai, Jr., in fourth, Ted Christopher (he too had to slice his way back to the front twice during the race) in fifth, followed by Rowan Pennink, Erick Rudolph, Eric Beers, Kevin Goodale and in 10th, Patrick Emerling.
The complete box score of the Whelen Modified "66/99" Presented by Town Fair Tire is here, on the NASCAR Home Tracks web pages.
Also on today's Lime Rock Park card were two SCCA Pro Racing open-wheel championships, the F1600 "Formula F" series and the F2000 series. Each championship held two races today.
In race one for F2000, points leader Remy Audette of France had the measure of 40-year-old Tim Minor and Angel Benitez, and in race two, Chris Livengood beat Audette and Tim Paul.
In F1600, Bill "The World's Fastest" Valet nipped Art Foster for the win in race one, with Colin Thompson third, while in race two, it was Foster with a last-lap pass for the win, over Ryan Leach and Thompson.

Jesse Jackson has spent his life deflecting reality
Longtime listeners of Glenn Beck know the radio host has a recurring bit he does when the mainstream media — seemingly out of nowhere — performs a tough interview or asks tough questions. He calls it "scattered showers of journalism." And it was pouring on the CNN set on Friday.
During a segment on Chicago reportedly hitting the sad milestone of its 500th homicide in 2012 (there is now a discrepancy), the Rev. Jesse Jackson was asked to explain how gun violence in Chicago can be so high despite the Draconian gun laws. Additionally, the host pointed out that if such gun laws were enacted on a larger scale, couldn't we expect a similar rise in violence in other big cities?
Jackson squirmed, and even oddly tried to blame gun ranges for the massacre: "You know, I think about Newtown, for example, they have three or four gun ranges. Now, there are no gun ranges in Chicago. [They] have almost no unemployment. … Newtown is so different than the complexity of the urban crisis."
But the host didn't back down.
"Rev. Jackson, I'm going to make one more turn at this question, because the original question was, Chicago has some of the strictest and most tough gun laws in the country," he said boldly. "If this level of gun laws doesn't work in Chicago, and you still have the guns coming from outside the city in, and now you got 500 homicides this year, what is the argument to extending this nationally and to other cities?"
Jackson responded that "the guns are not coming from Chicago," but the host noted that Chicago still isn't working as a model for gun control considering 87 percent of the homicides were gun-related.
"Chicago is in a bubble as the manufacturer — we're a target market for gun flow. And they exploit the poverty and the pain," he said, before expanding the blame on "lack of education and lack of dreams."
In other words, he seemed to admit that stopping violence isn't really all about guns.

PERTH, Australia – Malaysia's prime minister said Thursday the search for the missing jetliner will not stop until answers are found, as his Australian counterpart Tony Abbott called it "the most difficult in human history."
Prime Minister Najib Razak met with Abbott at the Australian base near Perth that is serving as the hub for the multinational effort and was briefed by Angus Houston, the head of a joint agency co-ordinating the search in the southern Indian Ocean.
No trace of the Boeing 777 has been found nearly a month after it vanished in the early hours of March 8 on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board.
"It is a very difficult search. The most difficult in human history, but as far as Australia is concerned, we are throwing everything we have at it," Abbott told reporters.
Najib's trip to Perth reinforces the reality that while Australia is co-ordinating the ocean search, the investigation into the tragedy ultimately remains Malaysia's responsibility. On Thursday, Najib said Australia had agreed to act as an "accredited representative in the investigation," and would be working with Malaysia to draw up a comprehensive agreement on the search.
Despite a lack of answers into the mystery of Flight 370, Najib sounded a hopeful note during his visit.
"We want to provide comfort to the families and we will not rest until answers are indeed found," he said. "In due time, we will provide a closure for this event."
On Wednesday, officials warned that the investigation may never produce answers into why the Malaysia Airlines jet disappeared. A frustrating dearth of information has plagued investigators from the moment the plane's transponders, which make the plane visible to commercial radar, were shut off.
Military radar picked up the jet just under an hour later, on the other side of the Malay Peninsula. Authorities say that until then, its "movements were consistent with deliberate action by someone on the plane," but have not ruled out anything, including mechanical error.
Police are investigating the pilots and crew for any evidence suggesting they may have hijacked or sabotaged the plane. The backgrounds of the passengers, two-thirds of them Chinese, have been checked by local and international investigators and nothing suspicious has been found.
The search for the plane began over the Gulf of Thailand and South China Sea, where the plane's last communications were, and then shifted west to the Strait of Malacca. Experts then analyzed hourly satellite "handshakes" between the plane and a satellite and now believe it crashed somewhere in the southern Indian Ocean.
Search planes initially began looking in a remote area southwest of Perth before moving the search zone 1,100 kilometres (680 miles) to the north after a new analysis of the data showed the plane was travelling faster, and therefore likely ran out of fuel earlier than they first thought.
Despite more than two weeks of scouring the remote waters, no trace of the plane's wreckage has been found. Houston has said there is no timeframe for ending the search, but acknowledged a new approach will eventually be needed if nothing turns up.
As each day passes with no wreckage sighted, the chances of finding the plane grow slimmer. Even Australia's prime minister, who has repeatedly said that he is certain that if any wreckage is out there, it will be found, took a more cautious stance when speaking Thursday at the base.
"I am confident that everything that possibly can be done to find this aircraft will be done," Abbott said. "We cannot be certain of success, but we can be certain of the professionalism and the effort that will be brought to the task."
Najib said during a press conference in Perth on Thursday that despite the challenges, "a new refined area of search has given us hope." It was not immediately clear if he was speaking specifically of Thursday's search zone — a 223,000 square kilometre (86,000 square mile) patch of ocean, 1,680 kilometres (1,040 miles) northwest of Perth — or referring to the general area crews have been scouring since moving the search zone farther north last week. He took no questions during the press conference.
"I know that until we find the plane, many families cannot start to grieve. I cannot imagine what they must be going through," Najib said. "But I can promise them that we will not give up."
The Joint Agency Coordination Center, which oversees the search efforts, said up to eight planes and nine ships were involved in Thursday's search. Weather was fair, though the southern section of the search zone could experience some showers.
Two British vessels, a nuclear-powered submarine with advanced underwater search capability, and the British Survey ship HMS Echo, have also joined the hunt, Houston said. The Ocean Shield, an Australian warship carrying a U.S. device that detects "pings" from the plane's flight recorders, was en route.
With no other data available indicating where the plane went down, spotting wreckage is key to narrowing down the search area and ultimately finding the plane's data recorders, which would provide a wealth of information about the condition the plane was flying under and the communications or sounds in the cockpit.
The data recorders emit a "ping" that can be detected by special equipment towed by a ship in the immediate vicinity. But the battery-powered recorders stop transmitting the pings about 30 days after a crash. Locating the data recorders and wreckage after that is possible, but it becomes an even more daunting task.
Ng reported from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Associated Press writers Rod McGuirk in Canberra, Australia, and Kristen Gelineau in Sydney contributed to this report.

The scientific and anti-doping community continue to struggle with the development a test for exogenous growth hormone in athletes. They haven't even been able to produce scientific evidence that growth hormone enhances athletic performance in spite of anecdotal evidence [from athletes and strength coaches] that this is the case.
But science continues to do a good job at finding weakness in the doping controls currently in place. Tip of the hat to Trust But Verify for alerting us of a new study which, among other things, tells us exactly how much exogenous testosterone some athletes can use and still pass the drug test.
The study reveals serious weaknesses in the testosterone:epitestosterone ratio test used by WADA and other anti-doping organizations ("Doping Test in Sports Confounded by Common Genetic Trait," March 21). [Read more…]

Post subject: "Rock Star" is an awesome film!!
I just saw "Rock Star" for the first time about a week ago. This film is just awesome!! A side from the film just being over all excellent...I was absolutely surprised by the stand out performance of Mark Wahlberg. I think that this is his best performance that I have seen so far. I thought that he was excellent in "The Big Hit" and then even better in "The Yards" but he just blew me away in this film.
I am glad that Mark decided to change career paths and become an actor. It took him a while to get in a groove but now he just seems to be a natural. And for me that means that he can make me forget who he is and see only the character. I think that Mark just may blow me away again with "The Truth About Charlie" because that looks like another excellent film.
I don't know if anyone agrees but I think that Mark should have gotten some type of award for this film (or did he?). I am not sure because I did not really pay attention when this film was released because I did not think I would like it. Boy, was I way off!! I guess it is a good thing that there was nothing on TV the night the film premiered. Considering now I have seen it at least 5 times in 10 days...lol.
This is a long post for my first one to the board but I just wanted to say how excellent and beautiful I think this film is. This is one of those films that makes me proud to have chosen a career in production/development.

Unfortunately Mark never got any recognition on this film except from his fans. But we've always been a bit ahead of the film awards people.
While I thought it was a fabulous film, it certainly was not perfect in my opinion. I could tell it was edited to try for a PG or PG-13 film and it ended up a very soft R movie. The sex, drugs and Rock n Roll cliche is known by everyone & in this movie it was muted many of the drug aspects (the director talked about those scenes he cut in the DVD). It was a short movie as well. Maybe I'm just used to the long films (2+ hours) about music - Spinal Tap, Almost Famous, Velvet Goldmine, Hedwig & the Angry Inch, so it seemed rushed.
Mark and the cast did a good job (even if most of the wigs were god awful and unreal) bringing the attitude the hard rockers had in the 80s. I think Mark did a great job as the man who lived his dreams and found himself by stepping out of it. It just was the environment Herek/WB created that wasn't a match to his (and the rest of the cast's) fine performance.
Oh and welcome! Long posts are encouraged (as long as they're on topic), you'll find out I post huge ones all the time.

DOVER — The Noble/Wells boys ice hockey team thought their season was over. Down and out in their locker room on Feb. 18 after losing to rival Marshwood/Traip, 6-2, in the season finale, the Knights were convinced it was time to look to the spring season.
But they got a reprieve.
A game they had not figured into the Heal Point standings was reported that night and, instead of trailing Marshwood/Traip for the ninth and final Western Maine Class A playoff spot, they had pulled ahead by 3/10ths of a point.
"There was a game that was not posted and we weren't aware of it at the time," said Noble/Wells coach Keith St. Cyr. "We were lucky the chips fell where they did."
Junior defenseman Connor Pease remembers it being a pretty emotional time after the loss to Marshwood/Traip, since at the time the game was billed as the winner gets into the playoffs.
"Right after we were upset," he said. "We thought we could have won. The bounces didn't go our way and that happens sometimes."
"When we did lose (to Marshwood/Traip)," said Noble/Wells junior defenseman Chullainn Kelly, "everyone realized it was the last game of the season — it was a heartbreaker."
But all that changed.
"That second chance kind of thing gave us the push to keep it going," Kelly added.
The Knights played in the first round of the Western Maine tournament last Saturday at the University of Southern Maine and won the program's first playoff game, an exciting 4-3 decision over No. 8 Bonny Eagle.
"It was really good for the program," St. Cyr said. "The kids knew what was at stake. They did enough to win. Everybody was excited. I was excited."
St. Cyr said there was a strong, partisan Noble/Wells crowd on hand, bolstered by the presence of the program's first middle school team and its parents, which played an earlier game and stayed to cheer on the Knights.
Noble/Wells (11-8) advances to tonight's quarterfinal (8:50 p.m.) against No. 1 Scarborough (17-1) at the MHG Ice Centre in Saco.
The Knights jumped out to a 3-1 lead over Bonny Eagle in the second period after a 1-1 first period. The Scots quickly tied it up before the end of the frame at 3-all.
Dean Pratt, the team's leading scorer with 22 goals and 14 assists for 36 points, scored the game-winner with 2:38 to play on the power play, his second goal. Mik Ricker had a goal and an assist, while Noah Pease also scored. Connor Pease and Ryer Smith had two assists each. Wyatt Ricker made 26 saves in goal.
Ryan Marsh was the team's second leading scorer with 35 points (17 goals and 18 assists), followed by Smith (11-16-27), Connor Pease (10-15-25) and Kelly (10-11-21).
"It was a back and forth game," St. Cyr said. "Both teams had sustained periods of pressure. We got up 3-1 and I think the kids were resting on their laurels and they came back to quickly make it 3-3."
The two teams met twice during the regular season with the Knights winning at USM, 7-4, and the Scots winning in Rochester, N.H., 2-1 in overtime.
"It was very exciting," Connor Pease said. "We came in knowing we could beat them if we played our game."
Noble/Wells had an up and down season, playing subpar in the beginning and end, and very well in the middle of the season.
"We're a young team with not a lot of playoff experience," St. Cyr said. "We knew whichever team showed up and played to their potential had a chance of winning the game."
St. Cyr wasn't worried when his team blew the two-goal and let the Scots back into the game.
"My kids play better when they're in desperation mode," he said. "We got back to doing things we were supposed to do."
With Scarborough next on its schedule, St. Cyr knows it will be a tough task against a Tier I team of which Noble/Wells played not a one this season.
"We know the task ahead for us is definitely an uphill battle," St. Cyr added. "I won't question our effort. We just need to take advantage of opportunities."
"We know it's the hardest game of the season," Kelly said. "We've got nothing to lose or hold back. We just need to play our game and do the best we can."
"I feel like if we play really hard and we play our game, miracles can happen," Connor Pease added.
