Orb, the winner of the Kentucky Derby, is a 3 to 1 favorite heading into the Belmont Stakes
Horse racing only has a few marquee events that capture the public's interest, and even though there will be no Triple Crown winner this year, the Belmont Stakes is one of those event. The race will feature Orb, the winner of the Kentucky Derby, and the odds on favorite to win the Belmont Stakes. Orb placed fourth in last month's Preakness Stakes—the second of the Triple Crown races—and cost himself a shot at history.

Denver Broncos 13-3
Last Season's Rankings: #1 Overall Offense (457.3 total yards per game) #1 Passing Offense (340.3 passing yards per game) #15 Rushing Offense (117.1 rushing yards per game)
After one of the most dominating NFL offensive performances last season, the Broncos are locked and loaded for yet another season. Of course they aren't in any position to go out and break records like they did last year, but they still have a fighting chance. Last season for Manning and the Broncos has been one of epic proportions, breaking records left and right (most yards passing, most points scored, most passing touchdowns and the most amount of receivers with 10+ touchdowns are some of the records that Manning and the Broncos broke last season) and winning his NFL record 5th MVP award in his Hall-of-Fame career. Where Manning has been blessed more than most QBs has been 1). his awesome offensive line that has allowed only 20.0 sacks this season (least amount in the entire league) 2). solid running game with Knowshon Moreno (1,038 yards, 10 touchdowns) and rookie Montee Ball (559 yards, 4.7 yards per carry and 4 touchdowns) and most importantly 3). an elite receiving corps consisting of powerful Demaryius Thomas (1,430 yards, 14 touchdowns), sure-handed Wes Welker (778 yards, 10 touchdowns), bruiser Julius Thomas (788 yards, 12 touchdowns) and streaker Eric Decker (1,288 yards, 11 touchdowns). Together all of these four receivers have combined to made one of the best receiving corps in the history of the NFL.
One reason why Manning and Denver were in fact so successful was because of Manning's explosive receiving corps in WRs Demaryius Thomas, Wes Welker, Eric Decker and TE Julius Thomas. The Broncos had RBs Knowshon Moreno and Montee Ball to provide help with HB Delays and stretch runs, however the majority of the Bronco's offensive firepower came from the Broncos passing game. This season, the Broncos lost two key offensive players in WR Eric Decker and RB Knowshon Moreno. Moreno was a beast last season with a solid amount of the rushing load, however I think Montee Ball has a good ability to take over as the starting RB and make some games interesting. Although the 2nd round pick didn't get the amount of carries he would have liked (considering he was the starter at Wisconsin), he played like an outstanding #2 back, pass-blocking for Peyton Manning, adding key receiving yards out of the backfield along with some much needed help with Knowshon Moreno and the Broncos running game. Last season, Ball's 559 yards ranks 6th among rookies. What has prohibited Ball from getting the 1,000 yards he was used to getting as a Badger has been the equally-adequate Knowshon Moreno who has been a beast all season. I believe that this rookie has been underrated for most of the season despite playing for one of the best offenses in NFL history. At Wisconsin he rushed for 1,923 rushing yards and an FBS-record 33 touchdowns his Junior year. The next season he got downgraded to only 22 touchdowns, however he was still able to be a beast regardless, getting 1,830 yards on the ground. Ball is an absolutely fantastic runner, he's fast and small and able to make cutbacks. Although he is young and still unproven I believe he steps it up, he could be big for the Broncos next season.
As well, the Broncos were able to add some key blockers on the offensive line in the draft and thus should have some stability in the rushing game. OT Michael Schofield as well as C Matt Paradis should give the Broncos some needed help on the offensive line. Without Chris Clarke, the Broncos would be without not only a starting right tackle, but also a back up left tackle. With Schofield backing up Clark, the Broncos can rest assured that Manning is protected. As for Decker, the Broncos added stud WR Cody Latimer out of the University of Indiana to replace him. At IU, Latimer was able to receive for 1,901 yards and 15 touchdowns on 123 receptions. While Latimer still has to prove himself worthy of the NFL, he can still add some depth at the WR position and help out Manning in his quest for that final super bowl.
Reason why I have the Broncos as the number one offense is simply because of Manning and their unstoppable passing game. Demaryius Thomas is one of the game's youngest and most talented receivers. I expect him to lead the AFC next season in receiving yards, while Julius Thomas should come in as a big red zone threat and act as Manning's security blanket. Obviously the losses of Decker and Moreno are big, however the Broncos still have lethal weapons in their other receivers. Emmanuel Sanders out of Pittsburgh should be yet another receiver who can make plays. Not to mention, their defense just added some key acquisitions in DeMarcus Ware and Aqib Talib whom should help out a Broncos' defense that didn't fare so well last season. Granted their offense was scoring 35 points per game, the Broncos did in fact allow 356 yards per game along with 24.9 points per game. With the added defensive help and rookie offensive additions, the Broncos aren't guaranteed to surpass their previous year's marks, however they should be able to come close. If Manning can come back from a near career-ending neck injury, he can most definitely overcome losing a WR and a RB.

Our lamp arrived damaged on its base and with a broken shade (package was not opened and in globally good state). We returned it. The customer service was quick and efficient to replace the whole lamp delivered in 2 packages. But...second one arrived damaged too on its basis, even worse than the first one. Shade was Ok. Very difficult to assemble as the different tubes hardly fit in one another (had to put some oil and hang on the upper tube to have it fit--let's say it's "normal"). The 2 of us weren't too much to get it right. The lamp does look good-- as long as you keep your eyes off the base ! Light is nice on a dinner table. Still, despite the "bumps" on the base we kept the item. I must admit the customer service is very reactive though.
The product was very difficult to assemble ant it took two and at some points 3 people to put it together because of how heavy it was. The pins that it come with it to keep it in place did not match up well with the threads of the lamp. So, we were never able to put them on. Since this pins were not put on every time you shifted the lamp to adjust it position it would start to come undone. The lamp does not give sufficient light for its size and the silver plate on top does not look as attractive in person. I will be returning this product and do not recommend anyone buy it.

the line-up, penalize teams if a player must leave the game for any reason, including injury (USSSA Baseball, 2013, p. 10, Rule 7.02.D.1[c]). There are also anecdotal reports of players attempting to subvert pre-season baseline neurocognitive tests (Pennington, 2013).
Despite the increased attention to and recent proliferation of research on sports-related concussion, confusion and controversy persist in many areas, from agreement on how to define a concussion and the effects of multiple concussions on the vulnerability of athletes to future injuries, to when it is safe for a player to return to sports and the effectiveness of protective devices and other interventions in reducing the incidence and severity of concussive injuries (Wilde et al., 2012). Parents worry about choosing sports that are safe for their children to play, about selecting the equipment that can best protect their children, and, if a child does receive a concussion, about when is it safe for him or her to return to play or when it might be time to quit a much-loved sport entirely.
It is against this background that the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and National Research Council (NRC) convened the Committee on Sports-Related Concussions in Youth to review the science and prepare a report on sports-related concussions in youth from elementary school through young adulthood, including military personnel and their dependents (see Box 1-1 for the statement of task). The 17-member committee included experts in the areas of basic neuroscience, neuropathology, clinical expertise with head trauma in pediatric populations, sports medicine, emergency medicine, cognitive and educational psychology, psychiatry, bioengineering with an emphasis in pediatric biomechanics, youth sports organization representatives, active duty military training, epidemiology, statistics or statistical analysis and evaluation, and health communication (Appendix B). The committee was charged with reviewing the available literature on concussions, within the context of developmental neurobiology, regarding the causes of concussions, their relationship to impacts to the head or body during sports, the effectiveness of protective devices and equipment in preventing or ameliorating concussions, screening for and diagnosis of concussions, their treatment and management, and their long-term consequences. Specific topics of interest included

As far as the current Wildcats who are playing in the NBA go, Rajon Rondo is the best of them all. Initially though, it looked as though Rondo wasn't even suited to play in the NBA. After the 2005–06 NCAA season ended, Rondo announced he would forgo his final two seasons at Kentucky and enter the NBA draft. His college career was a roller coaster ride that saw him clash with former HC Tubby Smith, and was even relegated to a bench role at times throughout his two years atKentucky. Still, NBA scouts loved his raw talent and he was still projected a first-round pick, enough to entice Rondo to pursue his NBA dreams.
Rondo was selected 21st overall by the Phoenix Suns in the 2006 NBA Draft, but was later traded to the Boston Celtics. He played sparingly as the teams' backup point guard for much of his rookie year, but began thriving in the NBA game towards the end of his first season, enough to give HC Doc Rivers the confidence to enter the next season with him as the starting point guard.
The 2007–08 season came with huge expectations for the Celtics to win the NBA championship after they formed the "big-3″ of Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, and Kevin Garnett, all future hall-of-famers. The Celtics would defeat the LA Lakers in six games with Rondo running the point guard show and he won his first NBA championship in only his second season in the league.
The 2009 NBA Playoffs came, and Rondo would step up his game to an All-Star level as he nearly averaged a triple-double and led the Celtics to Game 7 of the Eastern semi-finals where they fell to the Orlando Magic.
Rondo continued to improve during the 2010 season, but a dislocated elbow during the 2011 playoffs against the Miami Heat eventually lead to the Celtics demise in five games in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Hi, We are living in New Zealand and have traveled and loved visiting the beautifuly diverse USA many times! we have often wondered about hiring an RV..now our kids are 5 and 8..and we are heading back to Denver for a conference (end of May)..we actually arrive in the US on april 25th and need to be in Denver around 15th May , then home shortly after..we have seen a deal to take an RV from Chicago to Denver for $39 per day including one way fee, generator and mileage of 2500..so that seems quite reasonable compared to renting one. We don't know the size until we get there...
I have a few questions for you seasoned Rv ers..roughly how much is the petrol/Diesel cost per day/tank?
And any suggestions on route? We really enjoy the National parks and last year visited Rocky mountain, Black Canyon of the Guinnson, Mesa Verde and Grand Canyon..this time we were thinking to either come in to Denver up the top through Dakota way or alternatively via New Mexico..or as another option, heading over to Great Smokey and then back over to Denver (prob least likely to do this one as a bit far maybe?)
the other thing we are unsure about is camping in the National parks where there have no power hook ups..I take it this means you have no ability to use the shower in the RV or toilet?? As you can see we are really new to this! so if you can direct us to any books on basic use of Rvs or websites..that would be great..thanks alot..

I have to go along with those who are warning that the weather around May 1st in the Black Hills area (Mt.Rushmore, Jewel Cave, and Wind Cave National Parks, Custer State Park, etc.) of South Dakota can still be cold and wintry. According to my weather almanac, typical temperatures at that time of year are lows in the 40s and highs in the 60s. Of course, it could be 10-15 degrees colder or warmer. Although the the above tourist attractions are open, many other things may not be ready for tourists yet. This includes some RV parks. According to Woodall's for example, most of the Custer State Park campgrounds don't open until mid-May. While most commercial parks will probably be open by May 1st, they won't be at peak season level (pools not open, water may still be off, etc. If you do take the South Dakota route, don't forget Badlands National Park 100 miles east of the Black Hills and Devil's Tower National Park (Wyoming) 100 miles northwest of the Hills You may also have a problem finding open RV parks on your way from Chicago to the Black Hills area the last week of April.
Have a great trip.

New theater for Weston?Staff Report | January 02,2014Vyto Starinskas / Staff file photo
Steve Stettler, producing director at the Weston Playhouse, announced progress in funding a new intimate theater to complement the Playhouse.WESTON The Weston Playhouse Theatre Companys $10 million capital campaign has reached another milestone with the conditional approval by the Town of Weston Zoning Board of Adjustment and the Planning Commission of the Companys plan to build a new studio theater on the former Walker dairy farm in Weston Village.
Located on Route 100 South, also known as Westons Main Street, the new theater will complement the historic flagship Weston Playhouse on the Weston Village Green. The 2,900-square-foot building will accommodate up to 140 people in a flexible seating plan that allows for both theatrical and community uses. The five-acre parcel includes the Walker farmhouse, barns and two large silos, which will be preserved.
Steve Stettler, Westons resident producing artistic director, said, We will, of course, continue to offer great summer shows in the Weston Playhouse, but this project will allow us to extend our reach. During the summer the theater at Walker Farm will serve as a setting for thought-provoking pieces and other shows that are better suited to a smaller and more flexible space. The new theater will also expand our season into the autumn and provide a community resource for meetings and all kinds of events.
Stettler continued, Perhaps most important, the studio theater will be the centerpiece of our project to create an incubator for the performing arts in Vermont a greatly expanded program to develop new musicals and plays, bringing theater artists from across the U.S. to work and create in a quiet rural setting. The program will enhance Vermonts reputation for excellence in the arts, have a positive economic impact on our region, and make a major contribution to the future of the American theater.
The new theater is a major part of the theatre companys $10 million capital campaign. In addition to the land acquisition, design and construction costs of the new building, the campaign includes a half-million dollar education endowment, $1 million in improvements to the Weston Playhouse building, and a $1.5 million Fund for the American Theatre, which will provide approximately $200,000 a year over seven years in support of the new works incubator.
The campaign is being chaired by Wayne Granquist, chairman emeritus of the theater company, and has raised $5.4 million to date. With a target construction start date of April 2015, the Company hopes to be producing on the Walker Farm by the summer of 2016.
Granquist said, The Walker Farm was home to Kenneth and Anna Walker and to Gladys Walker, who performed in the communitys first production at the original Weston Playhouse in 1935 and remained active in the theater throughout her life. She organized the ushers, collected tickets, and attended almost every production, sitting front and center, up until the month prior to her death at age 102. This project is the culmination of her dream to bring world-class professional theatre to Weston on a year-round basis.
Amy Bannon, capital campaign administrator and a Weston resident, said, We are actively seeking donations during the final phase of this exciting campaign. We welcome comments and suggestions on how we can grow our dream that Weston will become a nationally recognized destination for theatre audiences and artists, with a reputation for artistic excellence and the development of exciting new work.

Ralph Nader, the consumer activist and Green-party presidential candidate, will picket in front of Wal-Mart stores in Torrington, Waterbury and Avon Saturday to bring attention to his call to raise the federal minimum wage.
The minimum wage in Connecticut is $8.25, and nationwide, it is $7.25. In President Obama's State of the Union address, he called for an increase to $9 an hour.
Nader supports a bill that calls for an increase to $10.10 an hour by 2016, and says really, the minimum wage ought to be $10.50, which is the 1968 level, adjusted for inflation.
Nader said there are 30 million workers who make between $7.25 and $10.50, and about 1 million of those work at Wal-Mart, the nation's biggest private employer.
Nader said he has talked to Wal-Mart executives for a year, arguing they should support a higher minimum wage, and has not gotten a response.
"This kind of informational picketing will push them to make a decision more quickly," he said. "If they break off it's harder for others like Target, Kmart and McDonald's to keep a united front against it before members of Congress."
Picketing will start at around 11:30 a.m. in Torrington, around 1 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. in Waterbury, and around 2:30 in Avon, he said. He said he's invited a dozen people to demonstrate.
Why Wal-Mart?
"It's been the most intransigent anti worker big box chain," Nader said.
Nader grew up in Winsted, and he said it makes sense to start his publicity pickets in his home state, where he has old friends. Besides, he said, Wal-Mart is profitable with an $8.25 minimum wage in Connecticut, so why can't they pay more in other states?
Some who oppose an increase in the minimum wage say it will cause employers to hire fewer teenagers for their first jobs, or at the very least, cut the hours of those who make low wages.
Economists say there is also evidence that a higher minimum wage is passed along to consumers in the form of higher prices.
Nader said of those who are paid the minimum wage, "16 percent are teenagers, the rest are working poor adults. That teenage argument, which they use all the time, just doesn't wash."
Political observers say the Republican-controlled House of Representatives is not friendly to even the president's more modest increase proposal, but Nader says that could change if people turned out to town hall meetings around the country.
"If 6,000 people in each Congressional district showed up it would be overwhelming, Congress would be totally jolted, shocked," he said. "It's easier than you think."

With "Ruskin Bond: The Mussoorie Years…" Ganesh Saili documents the life of a friend of four decades in a town both call home
For a change, this one's on — not by — Ruskin Bond. In Ruskin Bond: The Mussoorie Years… (Niyogi Books), Ganesh Saili puts together a photo feature on the life of his friend of a few decades, "a log of coming to Mussoorie, settling down here and finding home." As Saili tells us on the phone from Mussoorie, "I logged it from his arrival in Musssoorie to today, which is about 43-odd years. And I thought I would be the only guy who'd have a complete log of his evolution as a writer and the different phases of his life — days in Maplewood, days in Prospect Lodge, Saket and, finally, Ivy Cottage." In short, the settings of innumerable tales of humour and adventure become the backdrop for another story, told by a person who's hardly a stranger to the places or the people inhabiting them.
A result of two years' effort by Saili, Ruskin Bond: The Mussoorie Years…, while starting off with story of how the journey from Delhi's Rajouri Garden to Mussoorie happened, offers glimpses into Bond's brand of self-deprecatory humour and instances of freely distributed generosity. But having already penned a book on Ruskin Bond way back in 2004 — Ruskin: Our Enduring Bond — Saili turns to photographs to take the story forward here. There are sepia images of a just-born Bond from 1934, of childhood in Jamnagar, his parents' wedding, of letters written from father to son, years in Delhi, and, of course, with friends and extended family in the hills. Each photograph accompanied by a brief description, occasionally interspersed with quotes.
As Saili informs us, "Eighty per cent of the pictures are my own. Apart from the family album, most of the pictures have been taken by me at different periods. That way, even my photography has grown with him."
Saili's no stranger to telling stories through photographs, having worked on 30-odd books already, mostly on Mussoorie and the Himalayas. For basing one on a person, though, this is a first.
Biographies are a tricky thing, due to expectations simultaneously sitting on opposite ends of a scale — of personal insights that outsiders are not privy too, of an objectivity that a friend cannot be logically expected to bring in.
"It is a double-edged sword," Saili says. "However, the thing with Ruskin is, he's a very simple person. There's nothing that one would brush under a carpet and try and forget. He's extremely giving, extremely helpful to younger writers. So many of us owe it to him in the sense that he encouraged us to get going; 'Chalo, chalo, don't worry about those pink rejection slips. Keep going, keep going.' Therefore there's not much one can reveal as it were. He's a very private person, does his own thing. Stays out of political and social circuits, happy to just sing his song and do his writing. Therefore, it's not difficult writing about him. There's not much you're hiding. Or revealing, at the same time."
He adds, "Ruskin was a well-known figure way back in the 1960s, when his first book ('The Room on the Roof') had come out, and he made a bit of a splash in the The Illustrated Weekly of India. They were serializing 'The Room on the Roof' 60 years ago and, therefore, he was in his own right recognisable… We all looked up to Ruskin, we still look up to him."
What was his protagonist's response to the book? "A 95 per cent good job. He said, 'As long as I see Nelson Eddy and Laurel & Hardy on the posters in my house, you've done a good job.'"

Phoenix Suns 110, Toronto Raptors 92
PHOENIX — The Phoenix Suns have a fantastic opportunity in front of them, but only if they seize it.
With so much trade turmoil directly above them in the standing and a deal for Aaron Brooks that if nothing else should ensure their bench packs some punch the rest of the season, a playoff spot has never looked so near for the Suns.
But the Suns don't yet need to scoreboard watch, they just need to take care of their own business and that starts tonight in Toronto as they open a six-game road trip that could either cement their status as playoff contenders or make things look pretty grim.
"This road trip will tell us a lot about where we're going to be at," Jared Dudley said.
The six-game trip includes four winnable games and two very losable games in Boston and Oklahoma City. They must beat at least three of the four teams they should to ensure a split, and they should make 4-2 their goal for this crucial trip.
The Suns seemed to be on their way to a season-changing road trip last time they went back East, but after winning their first three to extend their winning streak to five, the Suns stumbled during their last two to make the trip look rather mediocre at 3-2.
The Suns have a chance to start out strong on the road once again with games at Toronto, Indiana and New Jersey to start the trip.
"This is going to be a very important trip for us," Steve Nash said. "We're going out on the road where we have very little room for error. We've got to come out on the road and play really well, so this trip's going to be defining."
The Suns must continue their strong play on the defensive end of late that has made them one of the better defensive field-goal percentage teams in the NBA after starting out the year as the worst. But in the opening leg of this trip they may be able to flat-out outscore the Raptors.
Only that D-League team in Cleveland possesses a worse defense than Toronto with the Raps yielding 109.4 points per 100 possessions. That's a huge problem when they boast just the 21st-best offense in the league in terms of efficiency. With those kind of efficiency number it's no surprise that this team lost 13 in a row last month to drop into a tie with Washington for the worst team in the East outside of Cleveland. The Raptors then lost five of six before inexplicably beating the Bulls on Wednesday.
Steve Nash always tears up the team from his native land, and the Suns realize how important it is to start their road trip off right in what should be the easiest game of their six-game journey.
"We know if we want to get to the playoffs we've got to come out and have a great road trip," Dudley said.

web designer + front-end developer
Posted on January 7, 2014 by Chip Cullen
It's the start of a new year, and lots of folks are making resolutions. I've never been big on new year's resolutions myself, but I did want to think about what I want to learn in 2014.
I had a great 2013 – most notably because we welcomed our second child into the family. He's been an absolute blast, and I wouldn't trade a minute with him (well, maybe some of the late night wakings).
However, I don't feel like I actually learned that many new things in 2013 when it comes to web development and design. I built several large projects for work, and even one large personal project, but I was mostly working in existing skill sets.
In the web world, and in Front End Development specifically, if you stop learning, you're going to get run over – quickly.
So, I put together a list of things that I want to learn more about in the coming year:
What do you want to learn this year? Did this list spark any thoughts? I would love to hear about it!

Channing Tatum Is Sexiest Man Alive
It's that time of the year when People puts out their Sexiest Man Alive issue, and the winner this year, joining the ranks of such heartthrob celebrities as Brad Pitt, Ryan Reynolds, Bradley Cooper and George Clooney, is ... first-time winner and Magic Mike star, Channing Tatum!
Tatum was reportedly ... er ... surprised by the good news. "My first thought was, 'Y'all are messing with me,'" he said, reports People. "I told [my wife] Jenna [Dewan-Tatum] after we'd been in the bathtub washing our dogs because they'd gotten skunked," he said.
"Yeah, she calls me [the Sexiest Man Alive] now," Tatum said of his wife, who also shared a few words about her famous hubby. "People know him to be fun and sexy, but they don't know how emotionally deep and spiritually open he is. He is such an open-hearted person; what you see is what you get," Dewan-Tatum said.
Jonah Hill / Twitter
Tatum's 21 Jump Street costar Jonah Hill, 28, also chimed in on his pal's new title. "@channingtatum you've always been the sexiest man alive to me! (Congrats pal!)" Hill posted on Twitter, along with a pic of him licking the cover of Tatum's People magazine.
Tatum, who has recently starred in 21 Jump Street, The Vow and, of course, Magic Mike, with fellow hotties Matthew McConaughey, Alex Pettyfer, Matt Bomer and Joe Manganiello, can next be seen playing Captain Duke Hauser in the highly anticipated G.I. Joe: Retaliation, directed by Jon Chu and also starring Bruce Willis, Dwayne Johnson, Adrianne Palicki, Ray Stevenson and Jonathan Pryce.

Soon I starting to work a day a week in a Special Secondary level school. Their existing network has been put together by a local IT company and currently consists of an unbranded tower server running Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise? Edition Server. This poor old server sits in a particularly hot in Summer staff room, it has a decent back up set up - which currently doesn't run properly, a cheapie UPS and fufills the whole curriculum role. No Group Policy seems to be present everything running from a series of script files.
The school has something like 70 students and I'd not be surprised if an inventory found close on 100 devices (mainly PCs running XP Pro but also a couple of machines running Windows 7 RC! photocopiers, notebooks and printers make up the remaining devices), connected to the network.
I have been asked to recommend a way forward - including replacing the server - what to go for Server 2003 which I have some knowledge of or Server 2008 - untouched by me so far, relocating the server - perhaps even to a secure Air Con served room. Then arranging the transfer /set up of the new server.
The budget is healthy and I'd like to get it right with a system that does the job and is as secure as possible! Recommendations and advice would be hugely welcome.

The wheels CineSkates V Wheels allow an even, smooth roll on flat surfaces. Underneath the main dolly frame (the SkatePlate), they form the primary structure support for your camera. The SkatePlate is fully compatible with all CineSkates, the CineSquid, and many other products in the Cinetics Connect family. The V-Wheels are also designed to glide smoothly on SkateTrack (available separately), modular four-foot assemblies on outrigger legs that feature twin rails for the wheels. The drive system The Cinemoco controller and motor are capable of continuous moves from .3 to 14.5 centimeters per second (.12 - 5.71 inches per second), and moves as tiny as .01 centimeters over 6500 seconds in time-lapse mode. Now that's fine motor control. Cables are included for tethering selected popular cameras to a computer for time-lapse control and processing (and many other control cables are available separately). Why Cinetics? Smooth moving shots are one of the primary building blocks of fine motion picture production. They put us into the scene on the screen, because they mirror how we experience the world. Our bodies act as a big shock-absorber for our eyes, plus our brain does internal image-stabilization along the way. So it's no wonder we like stable, even moving shots in our on-screen entertainment and no surprise that we can feel distracted by shaky handheld footage. A tripod often isn't enough for convincing movement, because it can only help for shots where your camera stays in one place. And moving the camera does more than make the experience seem real; it makes your camera a character, a participant, a narrator. So consider what Cinetics gear can bring to the table for your next video project. Whether it's a simple home movie, a film school exercise, or a full-blown professional production, good camera mounting can make a world of difference in how your audience will experience what you've captured.

Features Overview: The Cinetics CineMoco Dolly with V-wheels (CMV) is a motor-controlled moving dolly for your camera or camcorder. It includes the SkatePlate dolly with three attached V-wheels, the M60 Stepper Motor, the CineMoco motion controller, and camera cables for select Nikon and Canon cameras. CineMoco makes smooth, repeatable moves for video and time-lapse photography. It operates on flat surfaces or on inclines of up to 10°. You can also use it on the optional SkateTrack. The CineMoco Dolly is capable of handling cameras and mounting hardware up to 11 pounds. Tripod Head Needed: CineMoco does not include a tripod head for attaching your camera. A separate tripod head is needed in order to provide a standard 1/4" thread for mounting your camera, and to tilt or pan your camera for the desired shot composition. SkatePlate: The SkatePlate is a dolly frame with three retractable legs. Once the legs are extended, the SkatePlate locks into a sturdy rolling base. Illustrations on the top of the SkatePlate instruct you how to align the wheels for straight or curved tracks. The SkatePlate includes two V-wheels and the M60 Stepper Motor. A third V-wheel is included if you choose to use the SkatePlate without the motor. V-Wheels: The included V-wheels are made specifically to give you a smooth roll on flat surfaces. They have a V-shaped groove that works with the optional Cinetics SkateTrack. The smooth rubber wheels provide a secure grip while smoothly rolling along. One of the V-wheels is connected to the M60 Stepper Motor to drive the movements. The Cinetics Connect design lets you quickly snap the V-wheels on or off. CineMoco Controller: The brains to the CineMoco Dolly is the controller, which is designed to drive and power the M60 Stepper Motor and a connected camera. It runs on a rechargeable battery with a 5-hour run time. The controller has a 128 x 64 graphic LCD screen to let you set up the movement and photo-shooting cycle. The on-screen menu lets you set up the following cycle parameters: interval, distance, exposure, direction. The controller connects to the camera by a shutter release cable, and will fire the camera at the set intervals. You can change the way the motor moves the dolly during a cycle: shoot-move-shoot (SMS), stop motion, or continuous. Speed range in video mode is from 0.3 to 14.5 cm/s. SMS intervals can be set between 0.2" to 6600 seconds, and travel distances as small as 0.01 cm. Compatible Cameras: CineMoco video functions do not require a camera cable, and many cameras support time-lapse photography with their built-in intervalometer. Those cameras that do require a cable for time-lapse operation can be controlled with one of the included cables. The three included shutter release cables are compatible with the following cameras: N3: Canon 1D series, 5D series, 6D series, 7D, 10D, 20D, 30D, 40D, and 50D E3: Canon 60D, 60Da, Rebel (300D), Rebel XT (350D), Rebel XTi (400D), Rebel XSi (450D), Rebel T1i (500D), Rebel T2i (550D), Rebel T3i (600D), Rebel T4i (650D), Rebel XS (1000D), Rebel T3 (1100D), and Pentax K series DSLR DC0: Nikon D800, D700, D300s, D300, D200, D4, D3 series, and D2 series Note: Other cables are available from Cinetics to control select Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic, and Sony DSLRs.

WWDC 2011 Live Blog | Engadget
Don't forget, WWDC's Keynote given by The Steve is today! I've found Engadget's coverage to typically be the best.
Don't forget, WWDC's Keynote given by The Steve is today! I've found Engadget's coverage to typically be the best.
What is the only thing that you can use to develop apps for 50 million iPhones, 20 million iPod Touches and a quickly growing number of iPads?
I don't give it any weight.
The fact of the matter is that this is the year of the mobile device. There's a lot of mobile hardware on the market now and Apple needs to focus on that for a bit. They're closing in on RIM which is great, but Android is nipping at them from behind. There's heavy heavy interest in Android and even your typical consumer more and more has at least heard the term "droid" or "android" and know it has something to do with phones. It's not just for nerds.
So, given the environment, why would Apple not focus on their mobile products? The OS is mature. 10.6 has been out coming up on a year now and it's pretty clear that Apple and Microsoft are moving to longer OS release schedules (more-so Apple admittedly). I would venture that we won't see 10.7 until WWDC next year.
Apple's just rightfully focusing on what's important right now, that's all.
Steve Jobs Live from WWDC today!
Steve will likely reveal the worst kept secret in Apple's history today. Engadget has really great live coverage and always has lots of pictures. Check it out! It's at 10AM Pacific time.

Someone commented to say that there isn't enough coverage here in South Georgia or outside the metro. I either can't find the comment or accidentally deleted it. ...
That's fair criticism, and I'd like to have more non-metro in the future. However, I will point out that last week, there was quite a bit from outside metro - Benedictine, Tattnall County, Brookstone, among others.
I'll also point out that an e-mail was sent to every coach in the state (or those on file with the Georgia Dugout club) with a plea to send baseball information my way. Everyone who responded to that request was accommodated.
Please urge coaches to send newsworthy information to me - email@example.com
That doesn't mean that I don't seek out information on my own. But it does mean that every coach in the state has any easy avenue to have his team and players recognized on this blog if he takes advantage of it.

One of the most disturbing legislative hearings last week in Charleston came when a state trooper from the special State Police Crimes Against Children unit told the brand new Select Committee on Crimes Against Children that police have arrested 107 people for 474 felonies involving children in the first six months of this year.
First Sgt. Danny Swiger told the new committee — created because of concerns from the Women's Caucus in the House of Delegates — that in addition to those actually formally charged, members of the special unit have interviewed 736 people, 140 of whom are considered suspects, along with 255 child advocacy centers and 341 other interview sessions.
"Hundreds of kids that we are missing are truly being neglected and abused that are in drug environments at home," he said.
Delegate Linda Sumner, R-Raleigh, told of a visit to a hospital by members of the Women's Caucus during the last legislative session where they saw newborns addicted to drugs. She said it was "one of the most disturbing things I have ever seen." She asked Swiger if the parents of these children could be charged with child neglect.
Swiger wasn't sure but suggested it could become a "political argument." And he doesn't believe this is covered under current West Virginia law. "I don't think there is anything specific in law that says if you take this drug pregnant, and the child is addicted, that you have committed a crime."
Delegate Kelli Soboyna, R-Cabell, said she was one of a group of legislators allowed to observe a sting operation conducted by the unit. She said that during the exercise a man, who assumed falsely that the undercover trooper chatting with him via computer was really a juvenile, transmitted a photo of his genitals.
When police conduct these raids involving child exploitation, Swiger said it is not unusual to find "hundreds, if not thousands" of such images that are often shared in different areas of the country.
This special newly-formed legislative study group is led by Delegate Linda Phillips, D-Wyoming. Delegate Barbara Fleischauer, D-Monongalia, is vice chair. All 21 women currently serving in the House of Delegates are members as well as Sen. Donna Boley, R-Pleasants, who is the only woman in the 34-member state Senate.
Child-welfare advocates in West Virginia are praising House Speaker Tim Miley, D-Harrison, for establishing this new study committee. President Kathy Szafran of Wheeling-based Crittenton Services Inc. which serves more than 650 women, children and families in West Virginia, said most have suffered abuse, neglect or other crimes. She said the rising rate of abuse and neglect is alarming and the high rate of sexual abuse is heartbreaking.
Meanwhile, current State Senate President Jeffrey Kessler, D-Marshall, was a leader in passing West Virginia's version of the so-called "Castle Doctrine" law on self-defense that has become such a hot topic following the acquittal of George Zimmerman in Florida in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.
Kessler worked with former Sen. Shirley Love, D-Fayette, when Kessler was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee to pass this state's "Castle Doctrine" law, which harkens back to the old English law that a "man's home is his castle … and there is no duty to retreat in one's own home to protect oneself, his/her home, or his family from an intruder or attacker."
He said the recognized common law of "self defense" was that a "man's house is his castle," hence the name 'Castle Doctrine.'
"It provides that an innocent person is permitted to use reasonable and proportionate force, including deadly force, to repel an attacker, without a duty to retreat if the person reasonably believes he or she or another is in imminent danger of death or seriously bodily harm. . ." Kessler said.

But the greater need is to simply hire more troopers.
