This story was updated on Aug. 26, 2013.
Before several hundred employees of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, U.S. Sen. Benjamin L. Cardin pledged Monday to do "everything in my power" to put an end to federal sequestration budget cuts that have hit federal agencies and contractors throughout Montgomery and Frederick counties.
"Government has already been cut substantially in recent years," Cardin said. "I'm tired of seeing federal workers be made the scapegoat for every budget battle."
While many agencies have avoided layoffs and furloughs of employees by delaying services or cutting grants, the effect of the across-the-board budget cuts has been devastating for those workers who have lost jobs, Cardin said at the NRC's Rockville headquarters after a short meeting with employees.
"It has been as bad as we thought it would be," he said.
The NRC saw a 5 percent budget cut for fiscal 2013, or $52 million, and avoided furloughs through delaying research and licenses, and cutting upgrades to its IT system.
"About half our cuts are about evenly divided between delays in, and reduced support for, new reactor licensing and delays in long-term or discretionary research," NRC spokesman Scott Burnell said. The agency is also delaying system-wide computer upgrades and slashing education grants and employee training.
About 2,400 civilian employees at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda have taken 11 unpaid furlough days since early July, causing reductions in the number of operating rooms and other services at the military hospital, which treats wounded soldiers.
But the furloughs are ending, and services are "back to normal operations," according to Walter Reed's website.
The National Institutes of Health in Bethesda saw its 2013 budget cut about 5 percent, or $1.6 billion, from last year and is avoiding furloughs by awarding fewer research grants to companies and nonprofits. The National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg is also cutting grants, contracts, and maintenance and equipment procurements, as well as deferring hiring to avoid furloughs.
Montgomery and Frederick counties have about 51,300 federal workers between them, 35 percent of the total federal employees in Maryland, according to state labor figures. While the number of workers declined by 300 in the two counties in the past year, it actually rose by almost 1,000 from two years ago.
The start of fiscal 2014 is Oct. 1, and Cardin said he knows he has his work cut out for him on this matter.
"We must replace sequestration with a realistic budget before facing even more dire cuts in the year ahead," he said.
After his meeting at the NRC, Cardin went to Holy Cross Hospital in Silver Spring to meet with medical leaders and partners from across Montgomery County and the region to discuss implementation of the Affordable Care Act.
He said Maryland might be well ahead of the curve when it comes to implementing the act, but he has concerns that misinformation, unclear costs and a complex registration process could impact the state's ability to sign up its uninsured.
Medical leaders said residents are hearing misinformation about the ACA. Some even believe it has been repealed.
Coupled with the state not yet releasing its application or publishing a breakdown of the plans and the rates that will be available, when enrollment opens Oct. 1, Maryland could face challenges signing up residents.
Politics continues to embroil the law and has made it hard to get a clear, accurate message out to the public, Cardin said. He encouraged those gathered Monday to promote grassroots efforts to ensure that people know what the law actually requires, what is available to them, how they sign up for a plan and apply for any subsidies, as well as the cost and the benefits to the law.
While Cardin said he is overall encouraged by what he heard Monday, he will be reaching out to the state to obtain an application and rates so that he and his staff can better understand what uninsured constituents will face come Oct. 1.

Those of you who are avid gamers of the Xbox generation are familiar with the term "Achievements." These are basically rewards you receive for completing certain tasks in a game, such as collecting five widgets, completing the tutorial level or making it through a stage without being detected. Whatever shape or form achievements take, they give the player extra incentives to complete tasks that may or may not add to the experience. Your achievements can be viewed by your friends and other players via an online profile. Call it "digital bragging rights," if you will. Social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter also use a similar system for achievements for posting your high score from Bejeweled, broadcasting the new farm animal you acquired or highlighting your current location. All these things are done not only to give you a warm and fuzzy feeling about accomplishing some small task or checking in at some cool (or mundane) location, but to entice your friends, family and followers to perhaps try to beat your score, raise more crops than you, or dethrone you as the mayor of the local Starbucks.
Recent studies have shown that now more than ever before we are an incentive-based society. "What's wrong with incentives?" you might ask. After all, isn't a little motivation a good thing? Of course it is, but a problem begins to emerge where incentives become expected for things that would normally be done out of a sense of duty or responsibility.
Growing up, I didn't receive an allowance for making my bed, or doing the dishes, or cleaning my room, or mowing the lawn. I did those things because it was expected of me as a responsible contributor to my family. With society training us to expect a reward for every little thing we do, do we run the risk of needing additional incentives just to do the right thing? Don't get me wrong, I don't believe that we will wake up tomorrow in a world in which a young man or woman would demand kudos for helping a senior citizen across the street, but if we have reached a point in society where we even have to incentivize fun (because having fun for the sake of fun is so 2010), what does the future hold? We are constantly plugged in via our laptops, tablets, netbooks and phones to our own personal cheerleading squad that comments on and applauds (or mocks) our every utterance.
So I ask you, where do you draw the line on incentives? Do you still believe that doing good is its own reward? What does the Bible have to say about doing the right thing just for the sake of it? James 4:17 tells us "If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn't do it, it is sin for them." It is important for us as Christians to remember that we have a God given instructions to strive to do that which is right at all times. I think that all social media taps into a little bit of the narcissistic nature of mankind. Don't get me wrong, I use Facebook just as much as the next person, and I find it to be a great way to communicate with family and friends who are far away and also to keep updated on the latest goings on. But I try to remain conscious of the fact that my identity should not be tied up in how people perceive me on a social network. My self worth should not be tied to how many "friends" or "followers" I have or how many people commented on the cool thing I just posted. These may sound like obvious things to most people reading this, but just take a moment to think of all the bragging celebrities and the competition to have the most Twitter followers. Then think of all the people that idolize those celebrities. I think you get the picture. Now if you'll excuse me, I have widgets to collect and achievements to unlock.

Read past issues of the magazine "Multiple Bottom Lines: Life Lessons from 100 Years of Business Experience" Madden Lecture for Spring 2014 On Wednesday, April 30 at 6 p.m. , the 2014 spring semester Madden School of Business lecture -- "Mulitple Bottom Lines: Life Lessons from 100 Years of Business Experience" -- will feature roommates, classmates and life-long friends, Bruce Zicari and Russell Dalba, who left the Heights in 1967 armed with business degrees – and big plans. The talk is free and will take place in Grewen Auditorium on the Le Moyne campus. Looking back on nearly a century of experience between them, Zicari and Dalba will relate how their time at Le Moyne prepared them to weather the highs and lows as they succeeded and failed – but never gave up. For both, success was about more than profits – doing the right thing for your employees, making the ethical decision even if it might hurt earnings and developing relationships built on trust were also how they measured their bottom lines. Zicari is chairman and CEO of the Cheeburger Cheeburger Restaurants chain, which operates 54 locations across the U.S. An accountant, he began his career in a family-owned CPA firm and has been a partner in a number of other business ventures. Dalba is president of two companies: ExamOne Atlanta, which provides paramedical exams, lab testing and other services for insurance companies and agencies, and; Quick-Med in Alphretta, Ga., which specializes in all types of DNA and paternity tests. Previously he worked in executive recruiting industry and also for a national hair care franchise.posted on: 4/23/2014

Chef Michael's High School Culinary Team
For many years our head chef Michael Thieme has spent his free time mentoring and coaching the North Eugene High Schools culinary team. The team is comprised of students who have a knack for the Culinary Arts and plan on pursuing a career in the industry. Students who join this small team, led by teacher Miho Hosaka and Chef Michael, find that they not only develop their talents in the field of culinary arts but gain key skills like team building, formulating recipes, and great resume building skills. Many previous students on Chef's Team have been hired by the hotel in the kitchen and at Sweetwater's on the River Restaurant.
In addition to the teamwork and experience that comes with being a part of this team, students have an opportunity to compete with other teams throughout the state. Chef's team headed to Portland last weekend to compete in the Pro Start High School Culinary Competition where they took home an award in Knife Skills.

Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Marshall Chase Feel movie theater excitement at home You know the scene. The cave is deep, dark, and quiet, but the tension's thick in the air. And you soon know why. Every kind of booby trap imaginable springs from all directions as the hero races for life towards the opening. You feel the swoosh of passing arrows and the rumble of a giant boulder closing in. To experience that kind of movie magic at home, you need a receiver that can dish out precise surround sound. Yamaha's RX-V773 will have the very air around you crackling with sonic excitement. This high-def-friendly receiver comes loaded with the power and processing you need to transform your living room into a full-fledged home theater. You get seven channels of high-quality amplification plus the latest surround sound decoding including Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio for an engulfing wraparound experience that delivers thrills and chills by the ton. Connections for tons of gear The 'V773 has HDMI inputs for connecting six high-definition video components, including one on the front-panel for your HD video camera, making it simple to view home videos on you TV even when the receiver's turned off. Plus the front-panel USB input is perfect for your iPod® or iPhone®. The 'V773's digital-to-analog converter takes over and Yamaha's Compressed Music Enhancer makes your selections sound superb. You'll even see your song titles on the front-panel display. Enjoy iTunes® wirelessly with AirPlay AirPlay® for ultra-convenient playback of iTunes® Apple's AirPlay technology lets you stream music from your iTunes library directly to the receiver, either from a networked computer or right from your iPhone®, iPad®, or iPod touch®. Not only do you get a fast and convenient way to listen to your favorites, but anyone in your home can stream from their player to share their latest find. When one room is not enough The 'V773 offers a lot of flexibility for the home entertainment enthusiast. If you plan to use just five speakers and a subwoofer in your home theater, then that leaves the back surround channels, which can be reassigned to drive a pair of speakers in another room, or can even be used to send extra power to bi-amp capable front speakers for improved clarity, definition, and dynamics. There's even a 7.2-channel analog preamp output to keep a beloved amplifier in your system. Plus, a second HDMI output lets you connect an additional TV or video projector. A receiver with "remote possibilities" Yamaha offers a free, downloadable app for both Apple® and Android smartphones and tablets, that you can use to control this receiver with ease. Just connect your receiver to your home computer network, and your iPad® or tablet becomes the easiest remote to read and the hardest one to lose. (You'll need Wi-Fi® in order to use this handy app.) Use the included microphone for easy speaker setup. Setting up is a cakewalk Great acoustics are not necessarily a built-in feature of every home. That's why Yamaha's 'V773 includes an advanced version of their YPAO auto-calibration system. Just plug in the included microphone and place it in your favorite seat. The receiver analyzes the size, volume, relative distance, and frequency response of every speaker in your system, then automatically adjusts the settings for each one. It also uses Yamaha's RSC (Reflected Sound Control) technology to control "early reflections" echoes that can muddy the sound of your movies and music. You'll enjoy accurate, optimized sound with your specific speakers, given their placement within your room. One-touch "SCENE" buttons for your favorite activites Yamaha's intuitive SCENE modes make this receiver a snap to use. Just press one of the four dedicated buttons on the receiver's front panel or remote, and the 'V773 automatically switches to the correct input setting and sound mode for viewing DVD or Blu-ray discs, playing CDs, watching TV, or listening to the radio.

At first, I was disappointed it did not have an input for Sirius or XM, but the Net Radio and AirPlay features have more than made up for that. I have especially enjoyed being able to control my receiver through Yamaha's iPad app when I am upstairs (Zone 2). Also, the customer service (Drew) was great! It arrived exactly when he said it would. Pros: Ability to control the receiver through the iPad app. Cons: None. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Awesome Written By TomE, South Bend IN on Saturday, November 10, 2012 Set up the receiver with DT pro 1000 speakers. Sounds awesome Had system working received notice of a Firmware upgrade. Upgrade went bad and receiver would not turn on. Called Yamaha support at 6:00 AM on a Saturday. Chris ? Had me up and running in no time. I am not only impressed with the product but Yamaha support is Top Notch. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a nice system at an affordable price.

The RX-V773WA also includes dual LFE (mono-subwoofer) outputs for connecting a powered sub. Binding Post Speaker Terminals: The receiver has binding post speaker terminals for all speaker outputs (Front, Center, Surround, Surround Back/Bi-Amp, Zone2/Presence). The function of the extra speaker terminals is set using the Power Amp Assign menu. The binding posts can accept bare wire, pin connectors, and single banana plugs. The terminals are spaced too far apart for dual banana plugs and the collar surrounding the posts prevents the use of spade connectors. The Surround Back, Bi-Amp, Zone B speaker channels of the amplifier can be configured in the following way. 7.2ch w/ Surround Back or Front Presence: Seven speakers are powered in the main room - Front L/R, Center, Surround L/R, and Surround Back L/R (or Front Presence L/R). 5.2ch w/ Front Bi-Amp: Five speakers are powered in the main room (Front L/R, center, and Surround L/R) with the surround back amplifier channels reassigned to bi-amp the front speakers. A bi-amplification connection uses two amplifiers for one speaker. One amplifier is connected to the woofer section of a loudspeaker while the other is connected to the combined midrange and tweeter section. With this arrangement each amplifier operates over a limited frequency range, making its job easier. 5.2ch + Zone 2: Five speakers are powered in the main room (Front L/R, Center, and Surround L/R), while two speakers in a second zone are connected to the receiver's surround back terminals. The Zone 2 speaker output allows the receiver to send 2-channel sound to a second zone, limiting the main zone to 5.1-channel output. This means that you can enjoy stereo sound in a second room of your home. The same or different analog input sources/volume settings can be applied to both zones. Multichannel sources are mixed down to 2-channels and output to Zone 2. Note: You can select 8 ohms or 6 ohms in the menu depending on your speaker application. The amplifier supports 4- to 8-ohm Front speakers, and 6- to 8-ohm Center, Surround, Surround Back speakers. Bi-Amp Speaker Connections: This receiver allows you to reassign the surround back amplifier channels to make bi-amp connections (compatible speakers required). A bi-amplification connection uses two amplifiers for one speaker. One amplifier is connected to the woofer section of a loudspeaker while the other is connected to the combined midrange and tweeter section. With this arrangement each amplifier operates over a limited frequency range, making its job easier. Presence Speakers: One pair of speaker terminals (Zone 2/Presence Speakers) can be used for Presence speakers or for driving a pair of speakers in a second zone. The Presence speakers supplement the sound from the front speakers with extra ambient effects produced by Cinema DSP. These effects include sounds that the filmmakers intended to locate a little farther back behind the screen in order to create more theater-like ambience. The Presence speakers should be placed at the front of the room 1-3 feet outside of the front speakers and at least 6 feet off the floor. Note: You must select in the menu whether the speaker terminals are being used for Presence or Zone2. When the Presence or Zone2 speakers are engaged, the surround back speakers are disabled. Aluminum Front-Panel: The Yamaha RXV-773WA employs an aluminum front-panel for enhanced rigidity. The aluminum front panel is used to effectively shield sensitive circuitry from external noise and electronic energy generated by dimmer switches, fluorescent lighting, video monitors and so on. This ensures optimum sonic performance in the widest range of installation environments. Wide-range Frequency Response: The receiver's wide-range frequency response, 10Hz to 100kHz, allows you to enjoy the full fidelity of DVD-Audio and Super-Audio CD players. 192kHz/24-bit Burr Brown DACs: The Yamaha RX-V773WA uses high quality, audio-grade Burr-Brown 192kHz/24-bit digital-to-analog converters for all channels to maximize sound quality. Low-Jitter PLL Circuitry: The Yamaha AV receiver utilizes low-jitter PLL circuitry to help optimize sound imaging. The result is a more dynamic sound with greater detail and less distortion. YPAO R.S.C. (Reflect Sound Control): YPAO-R.S.C. analyzes room acoustics and measures various speaker characteristics, then calibrates audio parameters to achieve optimum sound. It employs Reflected Sound Control to correct early reflections for studio-quality sound. It also provides DSP Effect Normalization, which varies the CINEMA DSP parameters according to the reflected sounds. Yamaha's YPAO-R.S.C. system uses a small microphone and sophisticated equalization to automatically set the best sound for any room, no matter where the speakers are. First it checks the speaker connections and phase of each speaker. Then it sends out tones which are captured by the microphone to analyze the room acoustics and sets a variety of parameters; such as the speaker size, the distance of the speakers, and even the volume level; until it achieves the best sound conditions for your room. Using the supplied Optimizer Microphone, YPAO performs the following checks and makes appropriate adjustments to give you the best possible sound from your system: Speaker Wiring: Checks which speakers are connected and the polarity of each. Speaker Size: Checks the frequency response of each speaker and sets the appropriate crossover frequency for each channel. Speaker Distance: Checks the distance of each speaker from the listening position and adjusts the delay of each channel. EQ: Each channel has a parametric equalizer; choose one of three target settings before running the setup. Natural: adjusts all speaker to a natural sound; useful when the flat setting sounds too bright Flat: use when all the speakers in the system have similar sound characteristics Front: EQs the center and rear speakers to sound like the front; useful when your front speakers are better than the others in the system Volume Level: Checks and adjusts the volume level of each speaker. Note: You can also choose to manually adjust the AV receiver's speaker settings. Multi-Channel Decoding Formats: The Yamaha RX-V773WA supports the following multi-channel (Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Pro Logic) decoding formats. Dolby Digital: Dolby Digital, Dolby, Digital EX, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD DTS: DTS, DTS-ES, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution, DTS Express, DTS 96/24, DTS Neo: 6 Dolby Pro Logic: Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Pro Logic IIx Note: Dolby Digital and DTS listening modes can only be selected if your audio source is connected to the A/V receiver via a digital audio connection (HDMI, optical, or coaxial). To enjoy true 7.1ch Dolby Digital TrueHD and DTS-HD surround sound, the receiver must be connected to your Blu-ray player via HDMI. Surround Parameters: The Yamaha A/V receiver offers the following Dolby Pro Logic II and DTS NEO:6 audio adjustments. Dolby Pro Logic II Settings: You can adjust the following parameters in Pro Logic II Music modes: Panorama: sends stereo signals to the surround speakers as well as the front speakers for a wraparound effect Dimension: adjusts the soundfield either towards the front or towards the rear of the room Center Width: moves the center channel output completely towards the center speaker or towards the front left and right speakers Center Image (DTS NEO: 6 Music): This parameter adjusts the front left and right channel output relative to the center channel to make the center channel more or less dominant as necessary. CINEMA DSP Soundfields: Conventional multichannel audio reproduction systems base their sound on Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, using matrix and steering technologies to create surround sound effects. Yamaha CINEMA DSP is much more advanced, actually creating richly realized independent soundfields that envelop you in an unmatched surround sound experience. With dialogue, music and effects ideally located in these separate soundfields, you will hear sound with accurate placement, smooth movement, exceptional clarity and richness, and realistic presence. It will seem as if the walls of your room have disappeared and you are in the middle of your own immense theater. The AV receiver offers 17 CINEMA DSP programs for movies, music, and games. Movie Soundfields: Standard, Spectacle, Sci-Fi, Adventure, Drama, Mono Movie Entertainment Soundfields: Sports, Action Game, Role Playing Game, Music Video, Recital/Opera Music Soundfields: Hall Munich, Hall in Vienna, Chamber, Cellar club, The Roxy Theater, The Bottom Line, 7ch Stereo CINEMA DSP Parameters: You can adjust the following parameters of the Cinema DSP modes. DSP Level: You can change the receiver's CINEMA DSP effect level (level of the soundfield effect to be added). You can adjust the level of the soundfield effect from -6 dB to +3 dB. Delay: Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the presence soundfield (1-99ms), surround soundfield (1-49ms), and surround back soundfield (1-49ms). Room Size: Adjusts the broadening effect (0.1-2.0) of the presence soundfield, surround soundfield, and the surround back sound field. Liveness: Adjusts the loss (0-10) of the presence soundfield, surround back soundfield, and surround back soundfield. Reverb: Adjusts the delay time of the rear reverberant sound (1.0-5.0s), the delay between the direct sound and rear reverberant sound (0-250ms), and the volume of the reverberant sound (0-100%). CINEMA DSP Modes: The Yamaha RX-V773WA A/V receiver offers three proprietary Yamaha CINEMA modes so you can enjoy your movies and music even more in your home; regardless if you are using Presence Speakers, only have a two-channel speaker system, or listening through headphones. CINEMA DSP 3D: The actually measured soundfield data in recorded soundtracks contain the information of the height of the sound images. CINEMA DSP 3D mode achieves the reproduction of the accurate height of theses sound images so that it can create the accurate and intensive stereoscopic soundfield in your listening room. CINEMA DSP 3D does this by using the receiver's Presence (height) Speakers. Virtual CINEMA DSP: Virtual CINEMA DSP is an algorithm that allows you to enjoy DSP soundfield surround effects while using a minimal two-speaker system. Virtual CINEMA DSP lets you enjoy the effects of CINEMA DSP surround sound without using surround speakers (handy for use in custom installations where some rooms don't have surround speakers). It can be used with the front/center/presence speakers or even with just the two front left and right speakers. This unit will switch to virtual CINEMA DSP mode automatically when surround speakers are unavailable. SILENT CINEMA: SILENT CINEMA makes it possible to hear large-scale surround sound through ordinary headphones. This is a variation of CINEMA DSP technology that Yamaha developed to let you listen in private to movies and other multi-channel sources for hours without listening fatigue. Virtual Presence Speaker: Virtual Presence Speaker mode provides the 3D sound effect without actual front presence speakers. It creates virtual presence speakers from the receiver's front speakers, center speakers, and surround speakers, which brings you into a stereoscopic soundfield. Compressed Music Enhancer: Yamaha employs sophisticated digital signal processing with exclusive algorithms to enable playback that improves the performance of compressed music formats, including MP3, WMA, and AAC. With the Compressed Music Enhancer, highs and especially lows are richer and smoother, bringing music back to life to be as close to the original as possible. Dialogue Lift & Level Adjustment: Dialogue Lift raises the sound of dialogue from the center speaker to a position in the center of the screen. Newly developed virtual dialogue lift achieves dialogue lift function even without the need for presence speakers. Dialogue Level Adjustment lets you control the volume of the vocal sound, so you hear movie dialogue and music vocals at the ideal level for clear, comfortable listening. Adaptive DRC: Adaptive DRC automatically adjusts the dynamic range of the sound according to the volume level. This ensures that you hear clear dialog and vocals, and all sound effects at comfortable levels. There is no need to adjust the volume level as you listen; everything from whispers to big explosions will be heard clearly and comfortably at the same volume setting. It also tones down loud TV commercials, and is ideal for low-volume, late-night listening, when you do not want to disturb others. The amount of dynamic range compression applied to bitstream signals is adjustable; Min/Auto is suitable for low volume listening, Standard is typical for home use, and Max doesn't compress the dynamic range at all. Bass Management: The Yamaha RX-V773WA A/V receiver provides the following Bass Management settings. Bass & Treble: You can adjust the balance of the high-frequency range (Treble) and low-frequency range (Bass) of sounds output from the receiver' front left and right speakers to obtain a desired tone. You can independently adjust the bass (50Hz) and treble (20kHz) from -6dB to +6dB in 0.5 dB increments. The tone control of the speakers or headphones can be set separately. Extra Bass: You can select whether to play front channel low-frequencies through either of the front speaker or the subwoofer, or through both the subwoofer and front speakers. Subwoofer Trim: The Subwoofer Trim control enhances the low frequencies by avoiding overlap with the front speaker output. This will result in a cleaner, more focused sound stage while providing a seamless frequency response. When subwoofer frequency overlap occurs in conventional systems, the overall sound is "pushed" toward the subwoofer. Subwoofer Trim takes care of this by separating the low subwoofer frequencies cleanly, thus stabilizing the front stage while providing a well-balanced enhanced bass sound. Volume Setup: The Yamaha RX-V773WA allows you to customize the receiver's volume levels. Max Volume Adjustment: Use this feature to set the receiver's maximum volume level. This feature is useful to avoid turning the volume too loud by mistake. You can set the Max Volume from -30 dB to +15 dB in 5 dB steps, or to +16.5 dB (full volume range is -80 dB to +16.5 dB). Initial Volume Setting: Use this feature to set the volume level when the power is turned on. You can choose between Off (same as the volume when the unit was turned off), Mute, and -80 dB to + 16.5 dB in increments of 0.5 dB. Volume Trim: Use this feature to adjust the volume level of each input. This is useful to balance the level of each input to avoid sudden changes in volume when switching between input sources. The range is from -6 dB to +6 dB in 0.5 dB increments. Audio Inputs/Outputs: The Yamaha RX-V773WA offers a variety of analog and digital audio inputs/outputs. Digital Inputs: The Yamaha AV receiver is equipped with two optical digital inputs (AV-1/AV-4) and two coaxial digital inputs (AV-2/AV-3). 7.2ch Preamp Outputs: The A/V receiver features 7.2-channel pre-amp outputs (Front L/R, Center, Surround L/R, Surround Back L/R, and Dual Subs) for connection to external power amplifiers. Headphone Jack: The Yamaha RX-V773WA is equipped with a front-panel 1/4" headphone jack for connecting a set of headphone, so you can listen to your music privately. Connecting a set of headphones automatically mutes the receiver's speaker outputs. Sound effects applied during playback can also be heard through the headphones. Video Features 1080p HDMI (v.1.4) with Dual Outputs: 1080p HDMI (v.1.4) with 3D and Audio Return Channel (6 In/2 Out) delivers crystal-clear, all-digital audio and video via a single cable. HDMI dramatically simplifies cabling and helps provide you with the highest-quality home theater experience. HDMI can provide an interface between most audio/video sources, such as a set-top box, Blu-ray player, DVD player, or A/V receiver and a video monitor, such as a High Definition Television (HDTV), over a single cable. The AV receiver's HDMI jacks can be used for 2-channel and multi-channel linear PCM (up to 8-channel) and Bitstream (Dolby Digital, DTS, etc) digital audio formats as well as digital video signals up to 1080p resolution (including 1080/24p). They also support Deep Color (30 bit and 36 bit), xvColor, 120 Hz and 24 Hz refresh rates, and auto Lip-Sync compensation. The two HDMI outputs are parallel so the same video signal is output through both and can be used simultaneously. Note: When you output a video signal from both HDMI outputs simultaneously, the receiver outputs the video signal at the highest resolution that both TVs connected to this unit can support. For example, if you are have connected a 1080p TV and a 720p TV, the receiver will output 720p video through both HDMI outputs. 4K Video Upscaling: The Yamaha RX-V773WA is capable of outstanding upscaling and i/p conversion quality. This AV Receiver will upscale video signals from analog (480i/480p only)-to-HDMI and HDMI-to-HDMI, up to 4K. This means a much better picture with HDTVs capable of 720p, 1080i, 1080p, or 4K resolution. Edge Adaptive Deinterlacing: In ordinary deinterlacing, pixels in areas of movement are interpolated by upper and lower ranges. This causes jaggies in diagonal lines. Edge adaptive deinterlacing detects the direction of the line and interpolates the pixels optimally. 3D Ready: The Yamaha RX-V773WA AV receiver supports 3D HDMI pass-through from connected 3D-compatible Blu-ray, games and broadcast devices to 3D-compatible HDTVs (all 3D components must be connected via HDMI). 3D provides a more engaging audio and video consumer experience. Note that special eyewear may be required for viewing 3D content ARC (Audio Return Channel): This feature allows audio to be sent from your compatible HDTV to your receiver through the same HDMI cable already being used to send audio and video to your HDTV. This eliminates the need for extra cables connected to your television. The ARC function is only compatible with the HDMI 1 monitor output. HDMI Standby Through Mode: When the RX-V773WA is in standby mode (power off), the Standby Through feature allows HDMI source signals to pass through the receiver to the TV. The HDMI input can be changed using the remote control. So, there's not need to turn on the A/V receiver in order to switch HDMI sources. x.v.Color: The AV receiver supports x.v.Color, offering a wider color range than the current broadcast standard. For the x.v.Color feature to be useful, the entire video production chain must be compatible (camera-editing-format-player-display). Deep Color: The Yamaha receiver also supports Deep Color which allows the color depth of video signals passing through HDMI to be raised. The number of colors that could be expressed by 1 pixel was 24 bits (16,777,216 colors) with a standard HDMI jack. However, the number of colors which can be expressed by 1 pixel is 36 bits with a Deep Color enabled HDMI jack. Since the gradation of the depth of a color can be expressed more finely with more bits, continuous color changes can be more smoothly expressed. For the Deep Color feature to be useful, the entire video production chain must be compatible (camera-editing-format-player-display). Lip-sync: This function adjusts the delay between audio and video output. You can do this manually or have the receiver set the Lip-sync function automatically. Auto: When connected to a TV via HDMI, automatically adjusts audio output timing (0-500ms) if the TV supports an automatic lip-sync function. Manually: You can manually delay the sound output up to 500ms to synchronize it with the video image. HDTV-compatible Component Video: The RX-V773WA offers two component video inputs and a component video monitor output. These inputs and output have a frequency response of 5 Hz to 60 MHz and will pass High Definition video sources up to 1080p. Front Panel AV Input: The front panel's Video Aux input features composite video and HDMI input. Background Video: The Background Video feature allows you to watch a video source while listening to a different audio source. With the RX-V773WA, you can select any video input, and listen to AM/FM radio or network source at the same time.

To view the video content from your iPod/iPhone, connect it to the receiver's front-panel USB port and composite video input using the official Apple Composite AV Cable (sold separately). Your connected iPod/iPhone's music content is controlled by the receiver's remote, or you can continue to control your iPod/iPhone's music content from its clickwheel or touchscreen. Song/artist information and elapsed time are displayed on the receiver's front-panel display and your connected TV screen (via HDMI only).

If your TV is connected to the composite video or component video monitor output, you will need to use the AV receiver's front-panel display when changing settings. You can set the receiver's on-screen menu language to English, French, Spanish, Japanese, German, Russian, or Chinese. Zone 2: The Zone 2 feature allows you to set this receiver to reproduce separate input sources in the main zone and the second zone (Zone 2). The receiver has dedicated stereo RCA outputs for Zone 2, or the built-in amplifier can be configured to power speakers in the second zone connected to the Extra Speaker terminals. By using the RCA outputs on the AV receiver you can connect an external receiver or integrated amplifier in a second room, allowing you to listen to 7.1 surround in the main room and play a different stereo audio source in another room of your home. The volume of Zone 2 is controlled by your optional integrated amp. By using the speaker-level outputs on the AV receiver you can directly connect a secondary pair of speakers in another room of your home, allowing you to listen to 5.1 surround sound in your main room and play a different stereo audio source in the other room. When the receiver is powering speakers in Zone 2, the surround back speakers in the main room are turned off (limiting you to 5.1ch in the main room). The volume of Zone 2 is controlled by the AV receiver Compatible Zone Sources: You can select the following input sources for Zone 2. Analog Audio Inputs AM/FM Tuner (you cannot select different AM/FM radio stations for each zone) USB (including iPod/iPhone) AirPlay Internet Radio (vTuner) DLNA/Media Player contents Incompatible Zone Sources: Optical/coaxial digital and HDMI audio sources are not output to Zone 2. You cannot output any video signal to Zone 2. Note: Unfortunately, a USB source (including iPod/iPhone) and Network connected sources (Internet Radio/Media Player) cannot be played back in different Zones at the same time. Party Mode: The Party Mode allows you to enjoy the AV receiver's Main Zone audio source in Zone 2, simultaneously (regardless of input audio signal types; analog or digital). During the party mode, stereo playback is automatically selected for all zones. Both the Main Zone & Zone 2 play at the same volume level during Party mode. Utilize this function when you want to play back the same audio source as background music in two rooms of your home. Scene (for One-Touch Start): The RX-V773WA features four Scene buttons on the front panel and remote to make operating the receiver easier. These buttons are initially set to default settings for Blu-ray/DVD viewing, TV viewing, CD listening, and Radio listening. Each can be reprogrammed to any input and any soundfield. Pressing a Scene button will automatically launch a number of operations that initiate play of the source controlled by that button. Other Scene settings are also available, such as iPod Listening, TV Sports Viewing, and Action Game Playing. Browsing and selecting the settings is quickly accomplished by changing Input via the front panel and watching the on-screen display. The settings can be selected for one-time use, or they can replace the original default settings. The Scene names can be changed also. Input Rename: You can rename each input so the display reflects the actual source; choose from 15 templates or create an original name, up to nine characters. Display Dimmer: You can set the brightness of the front-panel display from -4 to 0. Memory Guard: This feature is used to prevent accidental changes to the DSP program parameter values and other system settings. ECO Mode: When the ECO Mode is enabled, you can reduce the receiver' power consumption by keeping the maximum volume, maximum output power, and front display's brightness low. ECO mode reduces power consumption by approximately 20%. Sleep Timer: The receiver's Sleep Timer function can be set turn the unit automatically off after 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes.

A year after winning the 74th Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen and her partner, Peeta Mellark must go on what is known as the Victor's Tour wherein they visit all the districts. But before leaving, Katniss is visited by President Snow who fears that Katniss defied him a year ago during the games when she chose to die with Peta. With both Katniss and Peeta declared the winners, it is fueling a possible uprising. He tells Katniss that while on tour she better try to make sure that she puts out the flames or else everyone she cares about will be in danger. But unfortunately she fails to do that.
So Snow decides to enact what is known as the Quarter Quell, the right to make a change to the Hunger Games, which he is allowed to do every 25 years. He decides to hold an edition of the Hunger Games wherein previous winners will compete again. Their mentor Haymitch thinks their best chance to survive is form an alliance with some of the others. They decide to align themselves with Finnick and his partner, Mags. But Snow is secretly hoping Katniss will be killed.

For years, a 12-acre site on Frederick's busy Urbana Pike — near Riverview Plaza and its major retailers such as Home Depot and Target — has sat undeveloped.
But that is in the past. Used-car megastore dealer CarMax is in the process of developing the site for a 40,000-square-foot dealership that plans to open in February.
"It's in one of our high-growth commercial areas," noted Helen Propheter, manager of the Frederick County Business Development and Retention Division.
CarMax is in the process of hiring 140 employees, including 30 automotive technicians, for the Frederick location. The company offers a sign-on bonus of up to $5,000 for technicians who apply before Dec. 20.
"Many of the positions do not require automotive backgrounds," said Michelle Ellwood, a spokeswoman for Richmond, Va.-based CarMax. "We are looking for candidates with high integrity and strong customer-service skills."
CarMax is known for its no-haggle prices on low-mileage used vehicles and buys vehicles from people who don't have to purchase a vehicle from the company.
"That will be a great service for residents here who now have to go to Montgomery County if they want this type of appraisal on their vehicles," Propheter said.
She recently spoke with the manager of the Frederick CarMax who said it will be a different look for Frederick. "It is planned to be more technology based," Propheter said. "If a customer does not see a car he or she likes on the lot, they can walk into the office and search for thousands of more cars."
She doesn't see CarMax taking away business from other area dealers but serving more as a complementary purpose. "It's different from the typical dealership," Propheter said. "People are generally loyal to a particular dealership."
The Frederick site will be a brand-new building. A site plan approved by the county in 2008 called for an 87,180-square-foot, one-story shopping center with 481 parking spaces, but that was never developed.
With the Frederick opening, CarMax will have seven locations in Maryland, with others including Rockville and Laurel. The company has more than 125 used-car superstores nationally. Revenue in the first six months this year reached $6.6 billion, almost 19 percent higher than the first half of 2012.
CarMax owns a 14-acre property in Gaithersburg on Shady Grove Road that formerly housed a Sears Great Indoors store. The company has submitted preliminary plans to convert the property to a dealership, presumably moving the nearby Rockville operation on Frederick Road.
But Ellwood said that "nothing has been announced for this location at this time."

Recipe by Elaine
"This a no-bake recipe, so on a hot summer day you don't have to turn on the oven, other than to bake your crust. If using frozen blueberries, drain them and use juice instead of water."

3/4 cup
white sugar
3 tablespoons
1 pinch
1 cup
4 cups
fresh blueberries
1 tablespoon
1 (9 inch)
pie crust, baked
INCREDIBLE, INCREDIBLE, INCREDIBLE! I read that this had a fairly thick cornstarch flavor, so instead of 1 c. water I did 1/4 c. lemon juice and 3/4 c. -- COMPLETELY covers any cornstarch flavor there might have been... I can't taste any at all. :) Thickens nicely -- I used frozen blueberries, but not the kind in syrup. Worked just fine.
This didn't turn out well for me. Granted, I used frozen blueberries, so that might have had something to do with it. Also, maybe I didn't heat it long enough. I thought it was "thick", but maybe I need more of a description of how thick. I followed the instructions to drain the berries and use the juice instead of water. Also, I cut the cornstarch down to 2 Tbsp. since there were a couple of complaints of it tasting to heavily of cornstarch. The result was soupy and too sweet and still a little cornstarchy.

This is really nice - and pretty easy. I like blueberry & lemon, so I followed another reviewer and used 1/4c lemon juice to 3/4c water & 2 1/2T cornstarch. I also added a touch of cinnamon. My sauce was perfect, not too thick and no cornstarch taste. I only had 3c bluberries so I used 1c frozen peaches, chopped. Turned out beautifully. Thanks for the recipe, Elaine! UPDATE: 4-19-08, I made this pie using frozen blueberries, orange & lemon juice & zest, and Splenda for a diabetic family member - turned out great! Thanks!
This recipe is exactly what I was looking for. I bought a big bag of frozen blueberries and wanted some recipes to use them in. With the weather getting warmer and warmer, I also wanted to have something that would make a nice cool dessert. My family and I absolutely loved this pie!
I read the comments regarding the amount of cornstarch, so I did reduce the amount to 2.5 tablespoons - even with that, it still thickened up very nicely.
I can't wait to make another pie like this, as I'm sure this one won't last much longer!
the best homemade blueberry pie I ever made. Easy instructions, but make sure you wait until the mixture has truly thickened before removing it from the heat Also, you may want to try using a touch less corn starch. The pie got almost too thick, but still very tasty.
This is my first Allrecipes recipe and it worked great! I added some lemon juice to the water and will use less sugar next time as the fresh berries were so sweet to begin with. For the folks that had problems with the cornstarch you really need to keep the cooking temp at medium high and it does take 10 minutes to get the syrup clear (that is your indication the cornstarch has cooked).
A good, easy recipe for a pie that's less unhealthy than most, since there's only one crust; top with fat-free Cool Whip to help keep it that way. It was quite sweet, so I think I can cut back the sugar next time. I used frozen blueberries and put them in the pot, still frozen, along with 1/2 cup of water. I dissolved the 3 T of cornstarch in a bit of water and then added it slowly to the blueberries. When it thickened it got VERY thick, but it didn't taste cornstarchy at all.
I have tried this recipe several times and its a winner. the fresh blueberries are just wonderful. thank you

I am using a mac. When I use the "rm" command it can only remove files. The "rmdir" command only removes empty folders. If you have a directory with files and folders with files and folders in them and so on. Is there anyway to delete all the files and folders without all the strenuous command typing? Remember, I am using the mac bash shell from terminal, not Microsoft DOS or linux.
-r "recursive" -f "force" (suppress confirmation messages)
Be careful!
Would remove everything (folders & files) in the current directory.
But be careful! Only execute this command if you are absolutely sure, that you are in the right directory.
Yes, there is. The
The other two options you should know are
And as usual, you can combine switches:
Also note that what you're learning applies to
use rsync might be quick
So I was looking all over for a way to remove all files in a directory except for some directories, and files, I wanted to keep around. After much searching I devised a way to do it using find.
Essentially it uses regex to select the directories to exclude from the results then removes the remaining files. Just wanted to put it out here in case someone else needed it.
