New London — An emotional Deputy Fire Chief Henry E. Kydd Jr. was named chief of the department Wednesday, saying it's a position he never thought he would achieve.
"These are really tears of joy,'' said Kydd, who thanked members of his family and several firefighters from the department who clapped when the announcement of his promotion was made in City Hall.
Kydd, who will become the city's first black fire chief, also thanked Chief Ronald Samul, a 42-year veteran of the department who has been chief for the past 26 years. Samul is retiring in April.
A change of command ceremony is expected to take place April 1.
Kydd said his goal, when he joined the department 35 years ago, was to become a battalion chief. His mentor at the time was the late Fred Philopena, a battalion chief who became chief in 1979. Philopena was also an emotional man who worked his way up through the ranks.
"It was not expected,'' Kydd said Wednesday of his rise from battalion chief to deputy chief last year and now chief.
"I thought I had peaked at battalion chief. ... To do this would be an honor as well as a challenge. I'm very happy," he said.
Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio made the announcement outside his office in City Hall saying it was a "no-brainer" to select Kydd for the job.
"He's a great guy, and we're so glad he accepted the post,'' Finizio said.
Last March, after Samul announced he would be retiring in 2013, Kydd was promoted to deputy chief, a position that had been vacant for eight years. At the time, Finizio said Kydd would be learning the duties of chief for a smooth transition when Samul stepped down. Since Oct. 15 Samul has been using accrued compensation time and was no longer overseeing the day-to-day operations of the department.
On Wednesday, Kydd said he has ideas for the department, all of which would need funding, and he intends to start searching for grant money.
Among the things he wants to do, he said, is increase training for officers in the 64-person department so more promotions can come from within the rank and file.
Additional training would "level the playing field," he said, and would help those who want to move on to other jobs.
But first he said, he plans to "sit back and observe" the department.
"There are challenges ahead,'' he said. "We're going to have to come up with some creative financing."
Finizio said the deputy chief position will remain vacant, and there are ongoing discussions as to whether it would be filled.
The fire department came under close scrutiny last year about its lack of minorities after the first black firefighter hired in more than 30 years was fired before he graduated from the state fire academy. Al Mayo said he had been mistreated by the city and fire academy because he was black.
After members of the state and local NAACP and other rights groups put pressure on the city, Mayo was rehired with back pay. Finizio said at the time he changed his mind and rehired Mayo after receiving new information, including a report on the fire academy that concluded Mayo might have been treated unfairly during his training.

We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
Unlike Ridge's single-vineyard wines, which reflect the distinctive character of each site, Three Valleys represents the blending of vineyards—winemaking—at it's finest. Zinfandel determines the wine's varietal character; old-vine Carignane contributes
bright fruit and acidity; Petite Sirah spice, depth of color, and firm tannins; Grenache brings briary fruit and lively tannins.
Blend: 65% Zinfandel, 20% Petite Sirah, 9% Carignane, 3% Mataro, 2% Alicante Bouchet, 1% Grenache
"Ridge hews to a leaner, lower alcohol style than most California wineries these days, resulting in wines that aren't blockbusters, but are complex and food-friendly. This bottling defines such a style. It's dry and lithe in the mouth yet gently tannic, with suggestions of berry jam, bacon, grilled mushrooms and hints of balsamic and soy sauce."

CPI up 0.5 percent in July 2005
August 17, 2005
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), which was unchanged in June, increased 0.5 percent in July.
Energy costs advanced sharply, increasing 3.8 percent in July after falling 0.5 percent in June. Within energy, the index for petroleum-based energy rose 6.1 percent in July, accounting for over one-half of the increase in the overall CPI. Energy services increased 1.1 percent.
The index for food increased 0.2 percent in July. The index for fruits and vegetables, which fell 1.2 percent in June, increased 1.6 percent in July.
The index for all items less food and energy increased 0.1 percent for the third consecutive month. A decline in new vehicle prices—down 1.0 percent in July—was more than offset by increases in the indexes for airline fares and for lodging away from home.
For the 12 months ended in July 2005, the CPI-U rose 3.2 percent, as shown in the chart.
These data are from the BLS Consumer Price Index program. For more information, see "Consumer Price Index: July 2005" (PDF) (TXT), news release USDL 05-1559.

Air New Zealand has kept its stake in partner airline Virgin Australia, buying 49.1 million shares to retain ownership at 19.99% after Singapore Airlines joined the shareholder register.
New Zealand's national carrier made the transaction at the same time as Singapore Airlines was issued a 10% stake in Virgin, it says in a statement. No dollar figure was put on the purchase, which at today's trading price equals some $A23.81 million.
Last month, Singapore Airlines paid $A105 million for a stake in Virgin, which was subsequently used to buy 60% of Tiger Airways and all of Skywest Airlines.
Virgin issued 245.6 million shares to Singapore Airlines at an issue price of 42.88 Australian cents apiece, meaning Air NZ had to buy more to prevent its own stake being diluted.
Air NZ says its purchase of Virgin shares equated to 2% of the Australian airline's stock.
The New Zealand carrier's shares rose 2.9% to $1.24 in trading today and have rallied 34% this year. Virgin's last traded at 48.5 Australian cents on the ASX.

London 2012 Olympics: World Champion Jordyn Wieber's Elimination
Written on July 30, 2012 at 5:11 pm , by Jenna Autuori
If you're a fitness fanatic like myself, I'm sure you're glued to your TV (or two computers streaming live and one delayed TV broadcast!) for all things happening in London. For the first time ever, I'm proud to say that I rarely got up from my couch this weekend because I was so tuned in to the Olympic events—go Team USA! The "Fab 5″ US gymnastics team this year are absolutely phenomenal (not to mention so damn cute!). I'm in awe every time they run, flip, jump, twist and land on their two feet so beautifully. While the USA is edging forward toward a team gold, one of the biggest upsets in what's sure to be gymnastics history happened yesterday too.
Jordyn Wieber, the reigning World Champion in the all-around division, was pushed out of the all-around finals, after placing third behind her two teammates, main rival 16-year-old Gabby Douglas and best friend and Olympic-village roommate, 18-year-old Aly Raisman. Leading up to the London Games, not much was said about team captain Aly, as the attention was mainly focused on Jordyn and Gabby, the teammates openly vying for the coveted All-Around Champion Title (an Olympic win in this category—in which gymnasts' scores for all four events, vault, uneven bars, beam and floor routine are combined—is considered the mother of all titles to win). As the media coverage on Jordyn and Gabby picked up speed, finally coming to a head during Sunday's preliminary events, no one predicted this outcome would happen.
Some might say that Jordyn simply had a bad day, making a few uncharacteristic mistakes on beam and the floor routine, or you could say that Aly truly shined under pressure, but one thing's for sure, poor Jordyn Wieber was knocked out of USA's top two spots and excluded from the all-around finals competition. Due to a rule that says each country can only send two gymnasts from their team into this competition, she will not be able to advance, even though Jordyn is ranked 4th overall (only two-tenths of a point behind teammate Gabby). As I watched this play out on TV, I was in awe and heartbroken to see Jordyn's dreams collapse in front of billions of people. I just wanted to jump through my screen and give the girl a hug! This athlete handled herself with such grace and maturity, finally speaking to the media after her tears slowed down.
Is it fair that she should be locked out of this competition, when other gymnasts scoring much lower than her will be able to move ahead? If it's truly a competition on the all-around champion (the best of the best!), then how can these ladies be judged fairly when they will not be going against one of the best?
Since I'm not a pro on all things gymnastics, I got on the phone with Olympian Shannon Miller, who is the most decorated gymnast in U.S. history and one part of the '96 Atlanta Games "Magnificent 7″. Shannon, who is an expert analyst for Yahoo Sports, is in London and was there for this exhilarating day. Read more

The coolest place on the internet, according to this tagline.Ask • Archive • FAQ
Car of the future? That's certainly the hope of the folks at Tesla Motors, the California-based automaker that turned out the all-electric Tesla Roadster, an ostentatiously designed, hyper-expensive electric sports car, back in 2008. The Model S they unveiled today is aimed at a somewhat less-moneyed crowd, though not really – while the Roadster sold for over $100,000, the Model S should clock in between $57,400 and $77,400. The company says plans for a $30,000 sedan model are underway, but this current release is something of a fortunes-changing moment for the company. What do you think? Maybe a bit rough at the price, but damn if we don't want an electric car with iPad-style screens all over the place. (Photo by Autoviva.com) source

I have had it for a while now and im also vegeterian but I had it before that, what causes constipation? and what are some easy ways to get rid of it without going to the docter?
Gluten intolerance can cause constipation. If you're a vegetarian, you likely eat a lot of bread and pasta to make up for your meat. If you have other health problems or symptoms or if your constipation gets to a point where it's really bothersome, you could try a gluten free diet to see if it's causing your problems.
Another thing I've found to really help with constipation is green smoothies. There are lots of websites dedicated to green smoothie recipes but my favorite is 1 apple, a handful of fresh spinach, and another type of fruit, like berries or a pear. Add a cup of water and some ice and blend in the blender for a few minutes. You can't taste the spinach, it just tastes like fruit, but the fiber from the fruits cleans you right out. I started drinking them a couple months ago and I haven't had constipation since. The theory behind the smoothies is that the nutrients in the spinach are much more available when they're ground because our teeth can't grind them enough to get all the nutrients. I don't know if that's true or not, but it's really effective for constipation and all the fiber really lowers your appetite. It's great for dieting. Let me know if you need any more suggestions!

Movie Review: Chicken With Plums
We learn 16 minutes and two seconds into "Chicken With Plums" that Nasser-Ali Khan was followed to the grave by those who loved him. So the drama in "Chicken With Plums" comes not from seeing whether he'll commit suicide, but in deciding whether his choice made sense. Along the way, you may find yourself analyzing some decisions of your own.
The film comes from writer-directors Marjane Satrapi and Vincent Parronnaud, whose "Persepolis" was nominated for an animated film Oscar in 2007. That one was shot in black and white and presented as images from a graphic novel, which is how it began. Yet it's more realistic than "Chicken," which comes at us like a tale narrated from "The 1001 Arabian Nights."
French actor Mathieu Amalric plays renowned Nasser-Ali, whose beloved violin gets broken in the Iran of 1958. He despairs of finding another and finally finds no reason to live. He retires to his bed, refuses food, and waits for the Angel of Death. During his last week, he ponders the failures and follies of his life.
The filmmakers consistently take us away from the literal world. All but one of the Persian characters are played by people who are not Persian: Nasser's wife (Maria de Medeiros of Portugal), his brother (Eric Caravaca of Spain), his grown daughter (Chiara Mastroianni of France), his mother (Isabella Rossellini of Italy). Jamel Debbouze, French-born to Moroccan parents, is the only one who looks Middle Eastern, and he plays a Chinese shopkeeper and a prophet who would fit into "Monty Python and the Holy Grail."
The filmmakers take side trips (a la "Amelie") to show us characters' pasts and futures. They break into animation, fantasy sequences, even special effects for the cheerful Angel of Death (Eduoard Baer). When young Nasser-Ali – played by Amalric with virtually no difference in makeup – encounters a musical guru, you can bet the wise man will wear a flowing robe and a long, gray beard.
Only one part of the story gets told simply and straightforwardly: The flashback where Nasser-Ali falls in love with Irâne, a merchant's daughter, and is rejected by her father as a penniless suitor. Her name is pronounced "Ir-AN," like the country of Satrapi's birth, and you may draw what conclusions you will. (Golshifteh Farahani, who plays her, is the lone Iranian in a significant role.)
Does Irâne represent the heart of a nation broken by greed and shortsightedness? Persian women who've had lives ruined by controlling men? Or just the traditional powerless heroine of a fable, buffeted by a cruel fate?
Satrapi and Parronnaud give us clues but no solution. The fun, for those of us who like fairy tales, is in guessing.
We learn 16 minutes and two seconds into "Chicken With Plums" that Nasser-Ali Khan was followed to the grave by those who loved him.(Full review)

This article first appeared in the June 27, 1960 issue of Sports Illustrated.
For the first three rounds of the National Open last week at Cherry Hills in Denver, Arnold Palmer's name was scarcely mentioned. In an ordinary tournament this would have been surprising, as Palmerthe golfer of the year and the pretournament favoritehad not played badly at all. He had started with a 72, one-over-par, added a 71 and another 72, but the 1960 Open was no ordinary championship. From the beginning the scoring pace had been so hot that Palmer had never been up among the leaders. When he began his final round at about 1:45 p.m. on Saturday afternoon under a hot mountain sun, he trailed Mike Souchak, the front-runner, by seven full shots and seemed hopelessly out of the running. At 3:15 p.m., after the most explosive stretch of subpar golf any golfer has ever produced in the championship, Arnold Palmer was deep in contention and his name was heard everywhere on the course.
Because of its historic dimensions, Palmer's start on his fourth round is worth describing hole by hole. He birdied the first, a short par-4, 346 yards long, driving the green and getting down in two putts from 20 feet. He birdied the 2nd, a 410-yard par-4, holing a little run-up of 35 feet from off the edge of the green. On the 3rd, another abbreviated par-4 which, in the thin air a mile above sea level, played even shorter than its yardage, he picked up his third birdie in a row by wedging his chip a foot from the cup. On the 4th, 426 yards, he stuck his wedge approach about 18 feet from the cup and got the putt for still another birdie. After driving into the rough, he had to be satisfied with par on the long 5th. But on the 6th, a par-3, 174 yards long to an upward sloping green, he was off again. He hit the center of the green with a seven-iron and rolled in a curving 25-foot sidehiller. On the 7th, another short par-4, he played a superb wedge approach to six feet, and when he ran that putt in he had made his sixth birdie in seven holes.
Palmer stopped his own rush on the 8th when he missed the three-footer he had for his par, but with this incredible burst he had succeeded in turning the tournament almost inside out. It was now his for the winning and win it he ultimately did. A conservatively played in-nine of 35only one birdie but all the rest solid parsgave him a 65, the lowest final round ever shot by the winner of the Open. His four-round total was 280, two shots lower than that posted by the runner-up, Jack Nicklaus, the 20-year-old National Amateur champion who had played a tremendous tournament from the beginning to the end.
A mild case of murder
At the risk of confusing the issue to some extent, it should be made explicit that it was not until very late in the afternoon that Palmer's victory was assured or even apparent. This was, to put it mildly, the wildest Open ever. Only one previous championship can be compared to it, the 1925 Open, in which eight players came to the 72nd tee with a mathematical chance of winning. But that tournament became hectic only at the very end. This 1960 Open was a hurly-burly all afternoon long. For four unbroken hours there were so many contenders performing such fantastic things that it was impossible to keep track for very long of who was leading and who was falling back and who was coming on.
At 2:45 p.m., for example, Mike Souchak was still out in front, five-under-par for the tournament; Julius Boros, Dow Finsterwald and Jack Nicklaus were four-under; Ben Hogan was three-under; Jack Fleck, Jerry Barber and Palmer were two-under. This accounting did not take into consideration Dutch Harrison, who was out very early, or Bill Casper, Don Cherry and Ted Kroll, who had barely teed off on their final round. Kroll was to roar off with five birdies (and one bogey) on the first seven holes, but this caused hardly a stir after Palmer's feat and a similar sprint by Jack Fleck, who birdied five holes (and bogeyed one) out of the first six.
As the afternoon and the pressure wore on, the scoring quieted down, but not the whirligig of shifting positions among a dozen-odd contenders. A few minutes before 4 o'clock, for instance, three players each were five-under-par for the distance traveled. Shortly after 4, Souchak, after a bogey on the 9th, was out of the lead for the first time. A few minutes later, Jack Nicklaus alone was five-under, and he was out in front by himself. At 4:15 p.m., after Nicklaus had taken three putts from 10 feet on the 13th (or 67th), four players were tied four-under-par—Nicklaus; Boros, playing one hole behind him; Palmer, two holes behind; and Fleck, four holes behind. Half an hour later three men shared the lead, Hogan (paired with Nicklaus), Palmer and Fleck, each of them four-under. And so it went until in the closing holes only Palmer was able to hold on to what he had wrested from par. If all this seems hopelessly confusing, then it is an accurate representation of the most unbelievable jam-up the Open has ever seen.

She is a very great author, especially being an author of the book rules....READ IT! I just wish she would write more books, and more authors write to children so much inspiring as her...well it least in my reading opinion. And she got me envolved in reading. I could never put it down. Anyhow, please respond back so I can see if you do respond back and say....READ THIS BOOK NOW IT'S THE BEST!!! P.S.-I might just go to the library tonight and see if they have it there...Also if you do respond, do any of you go to JACKSON MIDDLE SCHOOL? Keep on reading, Molly

Wilma is the most unpopular person at school. Everyone teases her. When she gives up her seat on a subway to a frail old lady, the lady tells Wilma that she will grant her anything she wishes.

If you had one wish, what would you wish for? Wilma is presented this chance when she gives up her seat on the subway to an old lady, who grants her anything her heart desires. Wilma, a levelheaded, normal kind of girl in eighth grade, wishes to be the most popular girl at school- if you get a wish, might as well go all out! She doesn't believe it will really work...but soon finds out that she is the most popular girl at school. The book is about friendship, making choices, doing the right thing, and being yourself. I thought it was really good, and the ending was great. Wilma was a strong, funny main character. It wasn't as good as Ella Enchanted, which Levine also wrote, but it was a light, fun read and very enjoyable. I give it 3 stars: a good book.

I thought this book was O.K., it had alot that it could definitely have done without. Overall, I think that Levine had a good plot in mind but maybe went overboard on the details. She uses good descriptive words that make you know what is happening. I think that you have to read it for yourself.

Gem911 Interface for Emergency Dispatchers
Gem911 Interface for Emergency Dispatchers
In a mere five months, an estimated 65,000 text messages were sent to 911...very few were delivered. On December 12, 2012, the FCC issued a Text-to-911 Further Notice of Proposed Rule Making. This action was a clarion call for the wireless carriers, and the top four carriers, supporting almost 90 percent of all wireless subscribers in the U.S., have indicated their plans to support Text-to-911 before the close of 2014.
But why has it taken us this long to support an interface that was used over two trillion times in 2012 to send messages to friends, family, coworkers and even favorite TV shows? Looking at the 35 years it has taken to receive 911 voice calls might give us a clue.
The challenge of getting voice calls
In February 1967, President Lyndon Johnson's Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice recommended the institution of a single number to be used to reach police departments, and word that this same number should be instituted nationwide. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) took on the responsibility to determine what this number should be; and in December 1967, AT&T (then responsible for the nationwide numbering plan) selected "911." The first 911 system was implemented in February 1968 in Haleyville, Ala., as a way to quickly connect citizens with local police. However, it wasn't until 1972 that the FCC recommended the use of 911 nationwide. Starting with New York City in 1973, this single emergency number began to be used to access fire and emergency medical services as well.
In 1978, the first Enhanced 911 (E911) system went live in Alameda County, Calif. With E911, the phone number of the caller was delivered with the call so it could be selectively routed to the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) closest to the caller's location. In 1980, the first E911 system to also deliver the location of the caller to the PSAP was deployed in St. Louis, Mo.
Not quite two decades later, wireless emerged as a new communications method used by the masses. However, because a wireless phone number could not be associated with a fixed location, these new wireless phones could not be used to reach emergency services via 911. In March 1998, Xypoint Corp., now called TeleCommunication Systems (TCS), worked with GTE to deliver the first wireless call to a PSAP in Allen County, Ind. Soon thereafter, the Wireless Communications and Public Safety Act of 1999 standardized and mandated that 911 would also be used by non-landline phones.
Around 2004, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) began to proliferate as service providers started to interconnect VoIP with public telephone networks, marketing VoIP service as a cheap replacement for traditional phone service. Because many VoIP phones could work wherever a person could plug into the Internet, the landline method of determining the physical location of a caller by looking up the phone number in a database would no longer work.
Following a series of lawsuits in 2005, combined with pressure from the public and the telecommunications industry, the FCC implemented a mandate to require interconnected VoIP services to provide 911 service and, to provide notice to their consumers concerning the limitations of VoIP 911. As it turns out, this technology hastened the implementation of IP technology in call centers across the country, ultimately ushering in the era of NG911.
The mobile society
The objective of Next Generation 911 (NG911) is to enhance emergency communication services by adapting to this century's always-connected, multimedia-enabled, mobile society. Beyond connecting callers to 911, this technology enables the public to transmit text, images, video and data to 911 PSAPs.
As far back as 2000, the National Emergency Number Association (NENA) began planning for NG911. The project gained momentum in 2003 and continues today towards the ultimate goal of establishing national standards and implementation plans for advanced 911 systems and services, thereby replacing the legacy narrowband, circuit-switched 911 networks which carry only voice calls and very limited data. These legacy networks are gradually being replaced with resilient IP networks and advanced systems capable of routing multimedia communications based on the caller's location. Just as text messaging became the first use of data in wireless networks, it also became the first use of data in NG911 centers.
Text-to-911: The first step
With education efforts underway about current and future text-to-911 capabilities, the FCC issued the following proposed rules in December of 2012:

The Tour Edge Lady Bazooka HT Max-D Combo Set brings together the best pairing of traditional mid and short irons with hybrid long-irons.
The classic pear-shaped hybrid offers stunning good looks, an aerodynamic design, and advanced weighting to deliver a higher Moment Of Inertia (MOI), the club's ability to resist twisting and impart greater force. The Bazooka features two internal weight cavities in the heel and toe that lower the center of gravity and move it deeper in the club head for a high launch and great forgiveness.
The set's progressive design can be seen in each iron's different blade length, face height, top line, offset, bounce, and MOI. This optimizes the club's performance in distance, trajectory, spin, bounce, forgiveness, and accuracy. The mid irons (6-7) feature a shorter blade length, less offset, more bounce and a smaller top line and sole for greater workability and shot making. Finally, the scoring irons (8-SW) feature a smaller undercut cavity, the least offset, the most bounce and a slightly larger sole than the mid irons for shots that get up quickly and stick close to the pin.

BMW 528i - Another Ultimate Driving Machine! by Greg on 12/13/2013. Trim: 2014 BMW 5-Series 528i xDrive, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: 528xi - Styling, fuel economy, M-Sport package, fun to drive factor and the cabin is simply awesome. Also, I did the European Delivery Option and picked the car up in Munich, Germany. That was just fabulous and a lifetime experience.
Cons: The on/off feature at stops is taking some time to get used to. I don't like the little shutter every time it starts the engine.
Overall review: The 528xi is a great part of the 5 series. It has all the attributes of its other 5 companions - size, sportiness, styling, cabin, creature comforts - and the best gas mileage of the group.

1. Introduction
Scanning of photos, drawings or other pictorial material can be done via any of the graphics applications installed on the OUCS Help Centre scanning PCs. One of the most popular applications for this purpose is Adobe PhotoShop, but very similar procedures can also be used with PaintShop Pro, Corel PhotoPaint etc.
2. Starting up PhotoShop
Start up PhotoShop by double-clicking its icon on the Windows desktop.
3. Making a Scan
From the PhotoShop
[File] select the
[Import] option, then the
[TWAIN_32...] sub-option.
The Epson TWAIN scanning module should then be loaded.
Before, you start scanning, you need to specify three sets of details that will affect how the scan is made:
The Image Type - for real colour photos
24-bit Color (Std)
is the best setting to use. For pictures scanned from magazines or newspapers, use the
24-bit Color De-Screening. For black-and-white diagrams, the
Line Art setting may be preferable.
Help button will give more information about all the options.
Choosing an image type, sets good default values for the other settings such as Pixel Depth which generally should not need changing.
OK to accept the new settings.
The Destination - choose the option that best corresponds to where the image will be displayed or printed. The most commonly used options here are
Screen/Web or whichever of the printer options is most relevant.
Help button will give more information about all the options.
Choosing a Destination, sets good default values for the other settings such as
Resolution (measured in dots per inch).
The higher the resolution, the better the image quality but the bigger the size of the image file.
For a printed original, the best guide is to choose a resolution that matches the resolution of the intended output device. The printed or displayed image will then be about the same size as the original.
For a slide original, the resolution needs to be higher, but again it depends how the image is to be used. A 35mm slide scanned at 400dpi will occupy about a quarter of a typical display screen. At 800dpi, it will occupy the whole screen.
[Unsharp Mask] option performs automatic sharpening of photos. Click
to accept the new settings.
4. A Preview Scan
The next step is to make a preview scan which allows you to check your settings and also to
select the precise area you want to scan.
Select the final scan area is done dragging across the required area with the mouse. The outline rectangle can then be further
adjusted by dragging its edges or corners as desired.
Other aspects of the image can be adjusted at this stage using the
Adjust controls.
5. The Final Scan
Leave the Preview window open and return to the main TWAIN window.
Click on the
Scan button. The specified area will then be scanned and the result placed in a
new PhotoShop document window.
6. Saving Your Scan
After making the scan, click on the TWAIN
Close. This will take you back to PhotoShop.
You can then Save your scanned image. Use the
[File/Save As] option to choose where
to store the image and the storage format to be used.
The most commonly used storage formats are JPEG and GIF.
6.1. JPEG Files
The JPEG file format is very widely used for photographic images. It provides a compression option which can give a dramatic saving in the storage requirements for an image, although possibly at some loss in image quality.
If you choose the JPEG option, you then need to set the compression level to be used. In PhotoShop, this is specified as a value ranging from 1 (most compression and producing the smallest file but with the greatest reduction in quality) to 12 (least compression, largest file, no loss in quality). The actual file size that will be produced at a particular compression setting is shown at the bottom of the JPEG Options windows.
6.2. GIF Files
The GIF file format is mostly used for line-drawings, computer screen-shots, logos etc.
It allows a maximum of 256 colours in the image. Although GIF does offer compression, it
is extremely efficient for storing images containing area of a single colour.
If the GIF image is specifically for use on a web page, the
[File/Save for Web] menu option provides additional options for
saving GIF files.

A Taste of Power: A Black Woman's Story
Pantheon Books, 1992 - 452 pages
I have all the guns and all the money. I can withstand challenge from without and from within. Am I right, comrades? With these words, Elaine Brown proclaimed to the assembled leadership of the Black Panther Party that she was now in charge. It was August 1974. The Panthers had grown from a small Oakland-based cell to a national organization that had mobilized black communities throughout the country. The party's achievements had won the support of millions of white liberals, but the violent assaults on the party by the police had brought death or imprisonment to many of its prominent members. Now its charismatic leader, Huey Newton, heading for refuge in Cuba, asked Elaine Brown to hold together a party threatened by internal conflict and the FBI. How she came to that position of power over a paramilitary, male-dominated organization and what she did with that power is an unsparing story of self-discovery. Growing up in a black Philadelphia ghetto and attending a predominantly white school, Elaine Brown learned firsthand the pain and powerlessness of being black and female. The Panthers held the promise of redemption. Elaine's account of her life at the highest levels of the Panthers' hierarchy illuminates more than the pain of sexism and the struggle against racism: The male power rituals she recounts carried the seeds of the Black Panther Party's destruction. Nowhere was this undertow more evident than in the complex character of Huey Newton, who became Elaine's lover and ultimately her nemesis. More than ajourney through a turbulent time in American history, this is the story of a black woman's battle to define herself. Freedom, Elaine Brown discovered, may be more than a politicalquestion.

Review: A Taste of Power: A Black Woman's StoryAvis d'utilisateur - Daniel - Goodreads
An essential read. A Taste Of Power provides a brilliant example of just how crippling and destructive patriarchy can be to societal progression. By the end of that book I was angry, disappointed and ultimately, exhausted. The key word I attribute to this book is survival. Consulter l'avis complet

Virtual Private Network
Off Campus Access for Students
Students can securely connect to their ECU network resources by setting up a Virtual Private Network (VPN) using Cisco AnyConnect software.
A VPN acts as a secure "tunnel" through which users connect to a campus computer, Piratedrive folder or department Piratedrive folder while off campus without worrying about data being illegally intercepted during transmission.
Students required to complete class assignments using Remote Desktop (RDP) or Secure Shell (SSH) must establish a secure Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection using Cisco Anytime Connect software.
Students also access their Piratedrive storage folder off campus using a VPN connection.
Get Started
- Log in to https://piratesvpn.ecu.edu
The Cisco AnyConnect software automatically checks system settings and installs. Once installed, software updates for Cisco AnyConnect are automatic.
Mobile users should download and install the AnyConnect app from their appropriate store. The Android OS is NOT supported at this time.
- After setup, subsequent remote sessions are established using the Secure VPN icon menu in the taskbar. Mobile devices connect through the app.
Open a VPN session:
|Windows Access
|Mac VPN Access
|iPad VPN Access
Operating systems: Mac OS X Leopard (v. 10.5) up to OS X Lion (v. 10.7), Windows XP, Vista and 7 (64- and 32-bit) and Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Connect to a Piratedrive folder:
|Mac OS X
|Windows 7
|Windows XP
Mobile Devices
Mobile users download the AnyConnect app from the app store for their device. Android OS is NOT currently supported. Windows Mobile users connect by logging in to the Remote Access login
Keep the Following in Mind:
- Test your connection while still on campus.
- Once connected, all ECU computing policies apply.
- ITCS can only suggest configuration changes to a personal system.
- ITCS cannot troubleshoot non-ECU equipment/networks such as WiFi, your home network or your Internet Service Provider (ISP)'s connection.

About midway through our podcast on "The ABCs of Death" the idea emerged that the crew at BGH had become a little -- how do you say? --re-sensitized to some of the more extreme elements of the horror genre. The next week, we luckily continued the re-de-sensitization with a shower of gore that is known as "Evil Dead."
David Hackl, the director of "Saw V" has got a new film coming out called "Red Machine" and today we've got our first image. The movie is about a bear that goes nuts and kills people so the image is of... you guessed it, a pissed off bear. Well played!
For those of you who enjoy the written word, Clive Barker is just about wrapped up with "The Scarlet Gospels", the final chapter in his "Hellraiser" series. Hopefully they'll make a movie out of it, because pictures are better then words. Fact!
Ciaran Hinds is in talks to play the Devil in the upcoming "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance" film. What's better? Some Italian actress/singer named Violante Placido is apparently in talks to join the cast as well. I've never heard of her and from what I've seen on Google Images she's never heard of clothing either.
Finally here's some new images from "My Soul to Take". They've got a kid freakin out and then another one with some kids drawing straws and... oh god I just don't have it in me anymore. This movie is going to be awful.
Good luck sleeping tonight. A farmer has gone against his wife's wishes and kept their two legged pig that they've named Zhu Jianqiang. Don't worry, there's a picture.
1971 - Walt Disney World opened in Orlando, Fla.
I act like Jigsaw by subjecting the whole crew to "Saw V", and the results were a little more nuanced than expected.
This week we discuss alchemy, camera technology, a first time guest host joins the show, and we review "As Above, So Below".

John Burkoff Comments on Trial of Accused Ringleader in Greensburg Torture Case
Pitt Law Professor John Burkoff commented on the likely advantage to the prosecution of facing multiple trials in the case of the Greensburg roommates charged with torturing and killing 30-year-old Jennifer Daugherty almost three years ago. Jury selection in the trial of the alleged ringleader, Ricky Smyrnes, began Monday, and the trial is set to begin Feb. 4. "When you have multiple trials like this you have an advantage for the prosecution," Burkoff said. "They have heard the witnesses before, and they can adapt to what they said before."
See the full story in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review here.

The trial for a Toledo mother accused of killing her baby starts Monday.
Prosecutors say Amanda Bacon, 25, violently threw her 6-month-old son Avery in an apartment on Alexis Road back in December 2012.
Bacon and another man brought the baby to an emergency room. The staff recognized the severe head injuries and called the police. The baby died a few days later from his skull fractures.
Bacon is charged with aggravated murder.

"Why Can't We Solve Big Problems?"
I'll be giving a TED U Talk in Longbeach at the end of the month. I'll be asking "Why Can't We Solve Big Problems?" I think that blithe optimism about technology's powers has evaporated as big problems that people had imagined technology would solve, such as hunger, poverty, malaria, climate change, cancer, and the diseases of old age, have come to seem intractably hard.
I'd love to know what the TED Community thinks our difficulties are - or, even if the idea is true at all.
Here's a URL to the story I wrote in MIT Technology Review on the subject: http://www.technologyreview.com/featuredstory/429690/why-we-cant-solve-big-problems/
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Feb 24 2013: One reason we can't solve big problems is because we waste billions of dollars on pipe dreams. We spent some $16 billion on physicists' hot fusion fantasy, courtesy, in large measure to MIT. If that $16 billion had been spent on new energy technologies like the integral fast reactor (a technology that would have obviated the need for hot fusion), on better wind, solar, geothermal and biofuel technology, on better batteries and spark plugs (like the Fire Storm Spark plug), on better insulation and innovative conservation or even cold fusion and a "1000" small steps we would energy independence today.
Instead we wasted $16 billion on a pork project for physicists that is the greatest threat to our national security in the history of our country because hot fusion requires disseminating tritium around the world. It takes 3-5 pounds of tritium to start up each reactor. If hot fusion advocates get their way there will be 1000's of reactors world wide i.e. there will be several tons of tritium world wide. Only a few ounces are needed to create a fission-fusion-fission bomb with up to 100,000 X the explosive yield of Hiroshima (Nuclear Weapon Yield-Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_weapon_yield).
If you think my concerns are exaggerated, consider this article: Broad, William, July 26, 1989, "U.S. Halts Sale of Tritium After Loss of Enough to Make a Nuclear Bomb," The New York Times Internet article. "The Energy Department has suspended all sales of the radioactive gas tritium while it investigates the possible loss of enough tritium to help make a nuclear bomb." "Tritium is used in nuclear weapons to increase their power." "The incident has led to fears in Congress that some of the gas is missing and has fallen into unfriendly hands."
So we are attempting to commit National Security suicide with the hot fusion program. Want to solve big problems? Identify the problem first and foremost and then solve it.

Explosions in the Sky
Explosions in the Sky is an American post-rock band from Texas. The band has garnered popularity beyond the post-rock scene for their elaborately developed guitar work, narratively styled instrumentals, what they refer to as "cathartic mini-symphonies," and their enthusiastic and emotional live shows. They primarily play with three electric guitars and a drum kit, although band member Michael James will at times exchange his electric guitar for a bass guitar.

Get Your 10,000 Steps (or More!) on National Walking Day
Written on March 29, 2013 at 1:07 pm , by Marianne Magno
Have you taken the time to go for a walk today? Lacing up your sneaks for a 30-minute walk daily has been shown to help you lose more weight, boost your heart health and get legs you'll want to show off when it's warmer. To help you stick to this healthy habit, world-renowned podiatrist Phillip Vasyli, health expert Dr. Andrew Weil and celebrity trainer Juliet Kaska have teamed up to kick off a nationwide Walkabout campaign on National Walking Day this April 3rd.
What exactly is a Walkabout? The idea behind this campaign comes from the Walkabout, an Australian journey during which one reflects on life and reconnects with family and the community. This version of the Walkabout aims to promote well-being and create healthy habits during the 28-Day Quest for Good Health.
You don't need to be an Aussie or celeb trainer to join in; anyone can commit to walking 30 minutes a day for 28 days. Once you've signed up here, you'll receive daily email tips and get the chance to win prizes. Now put on your sneaks and get going!

Men's hoops picked to finish seventh
AUGUSTA, GA -- Following a remarkable 2007-08 season, the USC Aiken Pacers have been selected as the favorite to win the 2008-09 Peach Belt men's basketball title in a poll of the league's head coaches released today. The Pacers received seven of a possible 10 first-place votes to edge out second-place Augusta State by three points. Clayton State was third, one point ahead of North Georgia in fourth. Armstrong Atlantic State was fifth with GCSU sixth and GSW in seventh. Columbus State, Francis Marion, Lander and UNC Pembroke rounded out the voting.
The Hurricanes return two starters and four players overall from a team that finished the 2007-08 campaign with an 8-19 record. Senior guard Anthony Sargent, an All-Conference selection last season, led the PBC in scoring and 3-point field goal percentage averaging 22.0 and 3.52, respectively. His 1.88 steals per contest ranked second in the Peach Belt. Fellow senior and returning starter Rick Russell averaged 5.8 points and 4.5 rebounds per game. Off the bench, junior Ric Roderick chipped in 4.9 ppg and sophomore Danny Hunt saw action in 25 games. Nine new faces are on the roster, including three freshman and six junior transfers.
USC Aiken receives the PBC preseason vote for the first time ever following their breakout performance last season. The Pacers won the PBC Championship for the first time in 15 years with a 27-4 overall record and 19-1 mark in the conference. For 2008-09, the Pacers will once again look to forward Chris Commons. The All-American and co-PBC Player of the Year averaged 21.8 points and 6.4 rebounds per game. USCA returns four of five starters to the floor, but will be missing guard Jeremy Fears who is now playing professionally overseas after averaging 17.3 ppg last season.
If there was one team that overshadowed USCA's accomplishments last year, it was Augusta State. The Jaguars finished second in the PBC and lost in the second round of the PBC Tournament, but rallied to win the NCAA Regional and advance to the National Championship game, becoming only the second PBC team to do so. The Jaguars finished the year 27-7 and have hopes of returning to the Elite Eight in 2008-09. Back is center Garret Siler who once again led the nation in field goal percentage and led the PBC in rebounding. Also returning is All-Conference guard Ben Madgen. However, the Jaguars will have to replace Tyrekus 'AJ' Bowman, who averaged 19.8 ppg and was a co-PBC Player of the Year.
Clayton State had trouble finding consistency in the regular season, finishing 9-11 in conference play, but put it all together at the right time as they won the PBC Tournament as the seventh seed, earned the automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament and reached the regional finals where they fell to ASU. The Lakers return two starters and eight total players from last years 19-15 team.
North Georgia finished fourth in the PBC standings and made a run to the semifinals of the PBC Tournament, finishing the year 18-11 overall and 12-8 in the conference. Three starters return for the Saints, including All-Conference guard Andre Morgan, who is one of six seniors on the roster.
The 'Canes open the 2008-09 season on November 15 against Puerto Rico-Cayey in Valdosta, Ga. and return to Americus the next evening for the home opener against Carver Bible.
The preseason poll is listed below. Teams were given 10 points for a first-place vote, 9 for second and so on. Click here for a team-by team preview.

Buenos Aires is one of South America's – nay – the world's most appealing cities, offering visitors to its sometimes very wide avenues a blend of the old, the new and the in-between. On Buenos Aires' bustling streets, you'll see stylish residents strutting their stuff alongside street artists, or football fans making their way past sightseers. Wherever you go, you'll find an energy to the city that will draw you in.
With a total population of around thirteen million, you could be forgiven for feeling overwhelmed upon arrival in Buenos. But don't fret: the city is extremely accessible, with an efficient integrated transport system and a host of tour operators, courtesy of a burgeoning tourism industry. English is also widely spoken in Buenos Aires, so if you find yourself lost in one of BA's barrios (neighbourhoods) and don't know any Spanish, try asking one of the friendly Portenos (BA locals) for directions.
Sometimes referred to as "Paris of the South", the city's architecture borrows elements from Barcelona, Madrid and even Manhattan, as well as from the French capital. The National Congress, the Casa Rosada and Palacio Barolo are among the most impressive buildings in the city, but for something a little quirky, keep your eye out for a small cottage sitting strangely atop a skyscraper above Avenida 9 de Julio (the widest road in the world).
Food lovers fare well in Buenos Aires as there are dining options aplenty in this town; and you'll never need to ask where the beef is. Seventy kilograms of the red meat is eaten per capita per year by Argentinians, making this a town vegetarians may like to avoid. Fortunately though, there are alternatives to meat in restaurants, even in standard parrillas (traditional steakhouses). There are even a few vegan restaurants around town. Just remember 'sin carne', meaning 'without meat', if you don't feel like chowing on cow.The tango first appeared in Buenos Aires sometime towards the end of the 19th century and has since then become a worldwide phenomenon. With interest in tango currently booming, there is no shortage of places in Buenos to watch the dancing pros at work. Try La Ventana or for a more intimate (and cheaper) option, Bar Sur or Café Homero. Wherever you choose to spend your evenings, be it in one of the city's cafes, bars, or boliches (discos), be sure to don your finest threads. And expect to be out late. Portenos like to party hard.
Buenos Aires: the beef is here

PIERRE, S.D. (KELO AM) – The Medicaid Opportunities and Challenges Task Force's meetings have concluded and the group has issued its final report to the Governor.
"With any difficult decision, it is important to weigh the 'pros and the cons' of the choices available," said Gov. Dennis Daugaard. "The task force has done a fantastic job of laying out the advantages and disadvantages of expanding the Medicaid program. I am grateful for the diligence this group has given to this important issue."
In accordance with the Governor's recommendation, the State of South Dakota chose not to expand Medicaid during the 2013 legislative session. In the spring, Gov. Daugaard assembled the task force to research the issue, gather input from the public and complete a report that outlines the "pros and cons" of expanding Medicaid in South Dakota.
The task force was comprised of a diverse group of stakeholders, including legislators, physicians, behavioral health providers, dentists, community health providers, hospital officials and state agency personnel.
To view the final report, visit http://sd.gov/governor/medicaidtaskforce.aspx.
