NORFOLK, Va. — Calling the spending cuts "a matter of fairness," Hampton Roads Transit President Philip A. Shucet said he is ending the practice of letting vice presidents commute using company cars and pulling the plug on health insurance policies given to some employees without requiring them to pay premiums, according to a Daily Press report. Nineteen employees, including several vice presidents, have been getting the perk. The employees who received no-premium health insurance plans will now pay the same amount as other HRT employees.

Of the 20 people injured, none were considered serious and 13 were transported by New York City EMS to hospitals.
Riders using a desktop computer, smart phone device or traditional telephone can schedule their pick-up and desired drop-off locations: reducing their wait time, arriving at their destination faster, and increasing the overall rider experience.
The advanced Driver Assist System, utilizing a licensed GPS technology developed by the University of Minnesota, provides feedback to the driver regarding lane position – via graphic driver alert displays, virtual mirror, vibrating seat and actuated steering.
In an overall business review, it was determined this division no longer fit in ABC's overall growth strategy. The company will continue to provide parts and warranty support for Ameritrans products.
Planners estimate the new, 11-mile Tysons Corner to Alexandria bus system would attract about 8,600 new transit riders per day.

I have an Image of say dimensions 800x800 which has a size of 170 kb. I want to resize this image to say 600x600. After resizing i want the image size to be reduced. How can i do this?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
You don't need a full blown Image processing library for simply resizing an image.
The recommended approach is by using progressive bilinear scaling, like so (feel free to use this method as is in your code):
Code modified and cleaned from the original at Filthy Rich Clients.
Based on your comment, you can reduce quality and encode JPEG bytes like so:
Now, since
You could use the 100% Java, Apache2 open source imgscalr library (a single static class) and do something like this:
NOTE: If the above looks odd, the static import allows me to use the resize call directly without specifying Scalr.resize(...)
Additionally, if the quality of the scaled image written out doesn't look good enough (it will be written out quickly though) you can use more arguments to the resize method like so:
.. and you can even apply a BufferedImageOp to the result to soften it incase the downscaling makes the image look to jaggy:
You can start playing around with the library by just adding the following dep entry in your Maven POM (imgscalr is in the Maven central repo):
Use some good framework which supports Image Processing through Java e.g. IamageJ
There is also some basic support available in Java through some classes such as MemoryImageSource and PixelGrabber.

The money is borrowed as cash. Not a income or gift.
Tax Fraud / Tax Evasion Attorney
No. Income is acsession to wealth. By borrowing money, you have increased your liability by the exact same amount of money that you have received as a loan. However, I would properly document the loan on a loan agreement with an interest rate and terms of repayment.
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Attorney
Borrowing money isn't a taxable transaction unless the lender subsequently forgives the debt. Hope this perspective helps!
Business Attorney
A loan does not create income to the borrower. That is the general rule.
The above is general legal and business analysis. It is not "legal advice" but analysis, and different lawyers may analyse this matter differently, especially if there are additional facts not reflected in the question. I am not your attorney until retained by a written retainer agreement signed by both of us. I am only licensed in California.

Although Carnivore is far better known, Fogo has a similar concept at half the price and equal quality. Food is tasty and service is excellent. Unlike Carnivore, Fogo also has fish and seafood so this is nice for those who are not big red meat eaters.
It is a popular restaurant with locals and foreigner so go early of book in advance.
Worth the effort and price.

I just plugged this machine in the other day. Automated set up went without a single hitch. I've downloaded my applications with some minor issues but it wasn't anything I couldn't deal with on my own. The graphics are excellent with its Radeon graphics card and dedicated memory. The CPU fan is silent and for now, I'm loving this computer and suppose others would too. The AMD CPU calculation speed is a little slow (3.5 on a 7.0 scale according to MS experience rating) but this machine won't be used very hard in my home so no issues here, I'm very happy. Buy this computer if you're looking for a basic machine to surf the web, do email, watch online movies and basic Office tasks like word processing etc. Don't buy this machine if you're looking to do a lot of data base calculation and analysis....I don't think the CPU/Hard Drive speeds would be too pleasing. However running on Windows 7 - 64 bit OS is making this machine move very nicely so in the end it's your choice. Bottom line is you won't go wrong with this computer.
Came fast, easy to set up and runs quite well. For the price can't imagine a better computer. We do basic word, excel, internet surfing and it performs excellently. Also it includes Power2Go so burning cd's/dvd's is easy and dependable.
This item works well and does what it is susposed to do. All of my order came in faster than promised. I am pleased with all of the order. Walmarts site is very easy to order from.
I agree with the first poster, neither the mouse nor keyboard was wireless like the details had stated but overall this computer is great. I purchased mines two weeks ago and I love it. If something goes wrong with it tomorrow, next week, or next month I will be sure to update my review. . . Right now, so far so good!!
I honestly would have been delighted with the computer had it come with internal speakers, but it does not. you have to buy separate speakers or use headphones. I use my computers as alarm clocks, so right now I can't even box my old computer up. If i want to watch a video or anything with sound I use the old one. I do not want to buy speakers. I don't remember reading anything about this before. It does have pros, i have never seen the sticky note program or the snippit making screen capture/edit easier. I am not done exploring the computer. I don't not think it was a slow computer. It boots up very quickly, and I don't have freezing issues like with my last one. Only complaint was the sound, so if you are not planning on doing sound related activities unlike me, then i'd recommend it.
Easy to set up and fine for the light home use application I bought it for. It's primarily used for internet access, music playing and burning, internet videos, and home word processing applications, all of which work very well. Windows 7 is a definite improvement over xp. I wanted something inexpensive but competent and this machine is that. I imagine that I will learn more of its capabilities as I go forward. Reliability in the long term is unknown of course, but it survived the power outage from Sandy with out any problem. For me, a very good value. And the "ship to store" process could not have been any better.
It is a lightweight and quiet basic desktop that works well for internet surfing, storing photos, and MS Office applications. So far, a good value for the money.
This suposed Tower desktop is actually a lack-luster PC with NO expansion abilities at all, what so ever. I am not sure why they bothered puting this thin in a tower box... it is completly empty with no knock-outs for adding a device or another hard drive. Not even an empty SATA input on the 7"X7" motherboard or should I say, Daughterboard... The processor is perm built onto board... no upgrade possibilities... ever!
It is working fine. No problems from right out of the box to the present.
Overall. Me and a friend were really excited about turning this computer on... only to be met with poor processing power. I admit, I'm no tech junky, but I thought the processor would be good enough to run a free to play game. I was surely wrong. Next time I go with a computer choice, I'm not going to go with Compaq, the now deviant child of Hewlett-Packard. I will go with a straight up HP and watch the huge hole burn into my back pocket(Like my $700+ entertainment laptop with a quad core processor). Would I recommend this for light gaming? Heck no. Would I recommend this for browsing online or videos. Only if you're online for a few hours a day. A lot of hours (8 plus) in a day? I would recommend a dual core processing computer. Or a quad core.
Arrived in 4 days and worked perfect out of the box. Speed was faster than expected. I have found nothing to complain about except the excessive bloatware that comes pre installed on the computer. The extra warranty does not make it clear how and where you get repairs. It's difficult to ship it back to a repair station. There should be a local repair shop that you could get repairs done.
I got this a few days ago and from Day One it had problems. Pages took forever to load. (minutes!..then eventually not at all) It got worse as things went along. I called my ISP, did several tests/checks, nothing helped. All connections were correct, security up to date, Everything was set up correctly. As a test, I connected my old computer, BINGO, no problems whatsoever. This thing is JUNK. You've been warned..and I've learned another hard lesson. You get what you pay for.
I am able to conect to my office computer, work on the internet, it also has dual monitor conection so I can use two monitors. Great Value very happy customer.
Lacking with this unit is wireless network. So be prepared to buy a wireless receiver if hard wiring is not an option. Secondly, noise, noise, noise. This tower's hard drive makes so much noise. I'm just hoping that it doesn't fail...very suspicious. I will definately keep this computer backed up!!
Parts just kept failing. First the 3 way dvd quit running, then the speakers quit, the last thing to quit was the internet connection. I had to return it to HP for a new unit.
The Compaq Black CQ2723w Desktop is a fine computer for its price. However, in this day and age all computers should come with wireless network adapters as standard. This computer does not, nor was this drawback mentioned. If I had known of this problem I would not have bought the computer.
Check before you by one. The advertise shows :
HP wireless keyboard
HP wireless optical mouse I just got mine today and guess what ? There was USB keybord and mouse.
I bought this for my office and its sleek design is a space saver. It was easy to install.
I bought another in the store for $50 less the day after I ordered this one. The one I bought didn't have a printer(which I didn't need) but it was an HP PC and had a larger monitor. Returning the un-opened packages was a 1/2 hour hassle as two(0f three) of the boxes didn't have any kind of documentation in them. Now I'd like to sign out of this review because it claims that all of my nicknames have already been chosen like jjjj, jaaa, jabc, jaja,bubu,.abbi. I'm going to change rating to 4 stars and see if it makes a difference
this computer is no good. It's slow and always starts with a option to fix the start up when i just got it.

Off the Air With Jeremy: Tipping Etiquette

So, you know when I was having my lunch alone yesterday at Olive Garden? I want to thank you for all of the phone calls last night on the air, and the comments here on the blog...
Well, here I am. Doesn't it look lonely?
Ever since this happened, I couldn't wait to tell you all about it. Have you ever had something happen to you that literally takes 10 minutes to sink in? Well, that's what happened to me yesterday while I was eating lunch at a restaurant by myself (we'll talk about that in another blog).
I'm bored with country award shows. They seem to be less about awards now, and more about more obvious, "cooler" stars than what we have in country music.
All right, I've just got to vent about my recent experience with the doctor. I've only worked one day this week due to my bronchitis. On Tuesday I was told I would need to be out for two days and be on meds.
Have you ever heard me on the show making fun of the dinky little cupcake Taylor Swift once made me? Look carefully at my most recent chat with her (above) and you can just barely see it. It even has its own microphone!
This is our Taste of Country Nights version of the Redneck Yacht Club! Enjoy.
Doctor's orders? Ehhhh! I'm baaack!
First of all, this is going to sound like an April Fool's Day joke, but it's not.
You may or may not know this, but my faith is very important to me. Today is Good Friday, and the day that Christ died for my sins and yours.
Meet my little 7-year-old buddy, Baxter. He is the happiest, most good-hearted dog I've ever known.
As soon as you walk in the door, he will greet you with a smile and make you feel like you're the most important person in the world...

Menus and McMahon: Sweet Republic
Sweet Republic has some of the most interesting ice cream flavors here in Arizona, and an even more interesting start. Helen and Jan started as investment bankers in New York but opened one of my favorite ice cream shops the summer of 2008.
This shop is not for the vanilla ice cream with sprinkles type. Their flavors range from sweet corn ice cream topped with bacon brittle to white rose ice cream. If you aren't quite that adventurous, you can still head over and enjoy their delicious hot fudge sundae.

We were planning the annual ski trip with family and friends and everyone decided that we needed to come back to Ski Brule because there really is no place else in comparison to the way that Ski Brule does it. From the time we enter the rental center we are greeted with smiles and are cared for by staff from carrying the equipment t, to helping get the boots on and making sure that we have the perfect fit to offering to get signed up for lessons. The snow is great, and that says a lot considering the winter we are having, the hills are well groomed and the lift operators are awesome - they always greet us with a smile and are a big help with getting the little ones (and some of us older ones) onto the chair. We have skiers and boarders at all different levels in our group so its difficult to please everyone but Ski Brule does it - if you haven't tried Ski Brule yet, you should and you won't be disappointed and make sure that you try the Homestead BBQ - its is a great meal at a great price in a great atmosphere and really makes for some fun family memories - I know that we will continue going back

I'm Working. Are You?
We're down a couple of bloggers today, so I'll have to keep this short. As I write this, I'm at my desk in Washington. Across from me are three empty seats, another empty desk sits behind me, and in the far end of the room the office door has yet to open. It's the first sign of a holiday at TOTN. A hard-core group of about a half-dozen of us are holding down the fort today. I know we have lots of truck drivers, EMT's, doctors, nurses, firefighters, police officers, etc in our audience. Are any of you working on the holiday today? What do you do?

Sure, it's a bummer that the writer's strike is still dragging on, and I'm appropriately supportive of the Writer's Guild and their goals. And even if the strike comes to an unexpectedly speedy recovery (blogger Nikki Finke is the go-to barometer for such matters), there's probably going to be a long lag-time waiting for new shows to return in 2008.
But it's hard to feel too depressed about all that with the knowledge that HBO's "The Wire," one of the best shows on television â make that one of the best shows in the history of television â is returning for its fifth and final season Jan. 6, with little teasers already on the Internet. In my review of the fourth season (released on DVD Dec. 4 to prime the pump), I predicted that it wouldn't be back for a fifth, and boy, am I ever glad to be wrong.
Loosely involving Baltimore detectives and drug dealers, "The Wire's" seasons have each been unified by a different social theme, with the fourth season offering a devastating portrait of education. The fifth will be no different, bringing the press into the fold and introducing a new regular, a newspaper reporter played by character actor Thomas McCarthy (who's most famous for directing the indie charmer The Station Agent). Apparently, central character of boat-rocking Detective JimmyMcNulty (English actor Dominic West), who spent Season Four in the margins â almost like Achilles in his tent in The Iliad (to use a high-falutin' simile) â will be back in the forefront. This preview gives a little taste, including a bit of West's real accent:
[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/q24T3-GRIsQ" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]
Equally tantalizing are three Season Five "Wire" prequels (set in 1962, 1985 and 2000, respectively), currently screening on the Season Four DVD's Amazon page. I can't hardly wait.

I so love this hotel. Although it's a bit off the white beach, it's very tranquil and peaceful. The one bedroom suite is so big that I can even dance wherever I want. The kitchen is well equipped. The bath tub is separated to the shower. Even the bathroom is so spacious. Love the mango juice that they offer as welcome drinks. The breakfast is ok, but I expect more given the price. The swimming pool and jacuzzi is to die for! It's worth the price. Although we stayed just for one night. Mostly because I only wanted a peaceful place after traveling from Manila to here. We then went to white beach for some night life. :)

I love Fire Emblem and SMT, so that's pretty cool. There also used to be a Fire Emblem-esque Megaten series that wasn't too bad.
....I really don't want to buy a Wii U though.
My interest in buying Nintendo consoles diminishes with every new one they release, even with SMT being on them.

Wow the crossover games scene is quite getting interesting. I wonder when we'll see a Mortal Kombat vs Street Fighter (don't worry about the gore, I have a creative non-gory fatalities in my mind), or a Playstation all stars Battle Royale X Super Smash Bros, that would be one hell of a crossover. I like to see western game doing some cool crossover (Japan seems to come up with the coolest crossover) like here's my cool ideas of a crossovers:
-CSI: NY/Law & Order: SVU/Criminal Minds/Without a trace video game crossover
-Tomb Raider/Uncharted crossover
-James Bond/Jason Bourne crossover
-Supernatural/Grimm/X-files crossover
Crossover I would like Japan and US could come up with:
-Metal Gear/Splinter Cell crossover
-Star Ocean/Mass Effect crossover
-Dark Souls/Dragon's Dogma/Dragon Age/Elder Scrolls crossover
Beside cool crossovers Japan does, they made some crossovers that don't make any sense like Compati Hero series. Oh come on, Gundam Ultraman and Kamen Rider in Super Deformed format. That would be like USA making a Superman/James Bond/Tintin crossover video game with story that wouldn't make any sense. I could say the same for other weird crossover game from Japan like Super Hero Operations. I wonder why we haven't thought of this for Marvel and DC superheroes, that would make an excellent superhero RPG-style game, I'm all for Warner Bros and Disney paying Banpresto for making a DC/Marvel heroes crossover video game.

|Dude, Kamen Riders can totally go toe to toe with Gundams. Have you seen some of the stuff they fight? Man, take into account the mental attacks, and there's quite a number of Gundam pilots that would be quivering messes if they went up against the Terror Dopant.

Still the crossover doesn't make any sense, as I said it would be like somebody making a Superman/James Bond/Tintin crossover game with a ridiculous story that don't make any sense. Also Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe shows that not all crossover really work, the storyline in MK vs DC didn't make any sense.

Inazuma Eleven VS Danball Senki proves you can make a crossover series between Soccer and Mecha and make it work. Anything is possible for them.

God Gundam and Master Gundam would solo Karmen Rider. Hell, even the 00 Qan(T) could do it.

Did one of them rip off Wing Zero Custom's pose? If so, then I have no hope for that movie, since Wing Zero Custom sucks and ripping off something that sucks will make it suck.

Yeah and after watching the trailer this crossover look stupid. Soccer vs mecha?? If it was Inazuma Eleven meet Captain Tsubasa, that would make more sense. But that trailer you show me, I don't even know what to say, I facepalmed. This is why some crossover don't work. I guess some people would like to see a Superman/James Bond/Tintin crossover with a story that doesn't make any sense.

Single Client Performance Wrap-up
The ASUSTOR AS-304T might have performed better in the single client tests than you expected with a 1.6GHz processor. We weren't surprised, though.
The ASUSTOR AS-604T performed very well with just 2.13GHz, and we ran those tests on ASUSTOR's first operating system. The new OS increases performance and is very efficient.

"My mind wandered into a crazy realisation last night. It was like i tapped onto a loop that kept on looping. Anyways, i think i know why i suddenly gave up on religion when i was younger. I think it's because i found out that it was a lie; my family had just used the idea of religion as a cultural assimilation into the borders of Australia. I grew up believing in God and Jesus so much because as a child, i believed it connected my family. I went through all of it; the lunch and after school Catholic Club classes in Primary, had Holy Communion School and Ceremony, man, i even watched my brother get baptised? And of course, i later found out, and not because my mum or my dad told me, but because as a teenager, you grow to pick up truths along the way. I honestly just thought all about this last night. I felt like i was in so much denial when it came to religion and i had no idea why i was feeling that. It's crazy how we can bury unwanted memories so deep in denial that you sort of feel nothing about it." - R

GRACE: [SCOFFS, LAUGHS, SNORTS] It bugs you, doesn't it?
BEN: What?
GRACE: When you're not the center of attention. It kills you. I can tell.
BEN: You think so?
GRACE: Mmm-hm. I know you, Ben. You're so focused on yourself and your whole Ben Doucette thing. But do you ever think about anyone else? Have you ever stopped to ask someone else what's up?
BEN: What's up, Grace? [BEN SMILES]
GRACE: A-ha ha, ho ho ho, No. I don't think so. That's not gonna work with me. We're talking about you.
BEN: All right, fine. What do you want to know?
GRACE: How about something real... Something that doesn't involve the words Porsche, beach house, or what's-her-name?
BEN: Hmm. Ok. Something real. Well, I've been married twice. First, to the love of my life who died 10 years ago, then to a woman who reminded me of my first wife but was, I found out, nothing like her. I have 2 beautiful kids, one who's crazy about me and one who's not. And somehow, driving my Porsche to my beach house with what's-her-name doesn't quite make up for the fact that the things I really want in my life are exactly what's missing from it.
GRACE: Wow. Is that true?
BEN: All but the Porsche part. I drive a Mercedes now. S-Class. Any more questions, Grace?
GRACE: Um... How's the lamb? I made it, you know.
BEN: It's really good, Grace. It's good.

Bill Stewart Deserved Far Better
"Winning isn't everything – it's the only thing" has been attributed to the late Green Bay Packers Coach Vince Lombardi, among others. At West Virginia University, it seems, winning everything is the only thing.
If you pay any attention to WVU football, you know what happened last week. WVU officials announced they are replacing head football Coach Bill Stewart.
Dana Holgorsen, who's offensive coordinator for the Oklahoma State team, will assume the same position at WVU. He'll serve under Stewart next year, then take the reins in 2012.
I'm sure Holgorsen is a great guy who will do an excellent job for the Mountaineers. But Bill Stewart is a great guy who's done an excellent job – under very trying circumstances – for WVU.
As sports columnist Doug Huff pointed out in The Intelligencer yesterday, Stewart stepped up to the plate during a chaotic time at WVU, just after former head Coach Rich Rodriguez left. Stewart led the team to an upset win in the 2008 Fiesta Bowl. He record as head coach is 28-11, which Huff noted is the second best for a new coach in WVU history.
Not good enough, WVU Athletic Director Oliver Luck and others involved in the decision making process seem to think. They want a national championship in football, and they don't seem to believe Stewart can guide the team to it.
Never mind that he really hasn't had enough time to build a national championship program. Don't think about the many factors beyond a head coach's control that go into winning a national title. And let's ignore the fact, again, that Stewart has done quite well with the Mountaineers.
No championship within just a few years? You're outta here!
That stinks, in my humble opinion. The "humble" is because I don't really know enough about college football to judge Stewart's work. On the other hand, I wonder how much those involved in the decision to can him know.
What I do know is that Bill Stewart is one of the good guys.
We both grew up in New Martinsville during the 1960s, though I can't say we were friends then. We are now, I like to think.
A few years ago, before Stewart became head coach, I ran into him in New Martinsville. We were talking about the WVU football program, and I mentioned to him that, in my opinion, winning games isn't the only reason why a team develops a big base of loyal fans. People have to like the team, I said to Stewart. That means they have to like the way players and coaches conduct themselves, both on and off the field.
I was preaching to the choir (or maybe, in this case, the preacher himself), of course. Since Stewart became the head coach, I have seen and heard of lots of reasons to like the WVU football team. Stewart is among the most highly respected coaches in major college football. He's the kind of down-home gentleman you don't see very often.
What the WVU hierarchy did last week was wrong – and perhaps not even smart. But I'll continue to root for the 'Eers – next season, anyway.

The World (Wide Web) Series
Next week's World Series might be baseball's biggest competition, but another battle is raging among sports Web sites hungry for a bigger piece of a growing field.
At ESPN.com, MLB.com, Yahoo Sports and FoxSports.com, among others, traffic has risen drastically in the past year as they've added more original content and new ways of presenting sports' mountains of statistics. A day after a game, MLB.com lets users click on a baseball line score and see a video highlight from that inning. Yahoo runs video programs that analyze games, and it has hired additional reporters.
"The biggest change for all of us this year is video," says Bob Bowman, chief executive of MLB.com. Video innovations this year include ESPN.com's "Baseball Tonight Minutes," created for the site by ESPN TV's "Baseball Tonight" show. (The site had 20% more visitors last month than in September 2006, according to Internet usage tracker comScore.) For the division series this year, MLB.com offered a "mosaic" of four screens, with three showing various live stationary views of the field and dugout and the fourth with an on-air expert commenting on the game.
While Fox TV airs the Series, FoxSports.com plans video blogs. It will continue the half-hour and 60-minute pregame and postgame Webcasts it added with this year's postseason games (they also will be on MLB.com). The site -- which comScore says drew 17.5 million visitors last month, up 7% from the year-before month -- offers comic relief with Jay Mohr's weekly online show. He also writes a column.
Yahoo Sports (the No. 1 sports site last month, according to comScore) has doubled its video team in the past year, says Jimmy Pitaro, vice president and general manager. An average user now spends about 30 minutes on the site, up almost 100% in the past year, he adds.
Despite all the video, Yahoo Sports is trying to differentiate itself by focusing on old-fashioned text, Mr. Pitaro says. He'll have four reporters covering the World Series, up from two last year. In all, the site has grown during the past two years to 50 editorial staff from 10.
BlackBerry and cellphone users also have more offerings, from score updates to videos. At MLB.com, usage through mobile devices has more than doubled over the past year, to some 470 million page views.
The rise in users has attracted advertisers' notice. Research company eMarketer estimates that U.S. online advertising revenue for sports sites will jump 28.6% this year, to $548 million, and will reach $1.1 billion by 2011.
Finally, there's the fantasy contingent. When MLB.com began letting users watch six live games simultaneously on one screen last year, with selectable audio and statistics, it also alerted fantasy-league players when live games involving their players and teams were available. FoxSports.com also tries to attract fantasy players with free features such as a video fantasy sport show. "Two years ago, fantasy sports didn't exist" on FoxSports.com, says Brian Grey, Fox Sports Interactive's senior vice president and general manager.
Television: Haunted-House Marathon
With a seven-hour live broadcast from an abandoned prison in June, The Travel Channel's "Most Haunted" series drew more than two million viewers -- a big number for a niche channel. For Halloween, the channel is doing it again.
Travel Channel's "Most Haunted Live" broadcast begins tonight at 9 EDT. A paranormal investigation team equipped with night-vision cameras and thermal-imaging devices will visit the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, Calif. The 160-room Victorian-era mansion was home to rifle heiress Sarah Winchester, who tried to commune with the afterlife. Via email or text-message, viewers can suggest which rooms to visit next, based on streaming video on the show's Web site.
During the first show, from Philadelphia's Eastern State Penitentiary, the team claimed to have heard bumps and rattles, and the show's medium ran screaming from a room. "We felt activity in there," says Sue Norton, an executive producer.
Books: Star-System Snafus
"New Yorker" cartoonist Roz Chast has a new children's book, "The Alphabet from A to Y, with Bonus Letter Z," which she co-authored with actor Steve Martin. In it, Ms. Chast and Mr. Martin take children -- and adults -- on a humorous journey through the byways of our alphabet, with Ms. Chast's idiosyncratic illustrations offsetting the alliterative rhymes Mr. Martin uses for each letter.
Ms. Chast talks about her new book with the Journal's Robert J. Hughes. See video.
Most people know the big stars of Hollywood's golden era, the Hayworths and Gables kept under closely controlled contracts by film studios from the 1930s through the 1950s. In "The Star Machine," Jeanine Basinger describes the lesser-known "Edsels," her term for actors who didn't work out. Ms. Basinger, chairwoman of film studies at Wesleyan University, examines how studios used star-making in their business plans. When a "product" (actor) wasn't sellable, she says, "they cleared it off the shelves." Examples she describes: How Paramount tried to make Rosemary Clooney a star but decided she worked better in an ensemble, and Samuel Goldwyn's failed attempt to turn Anna Sten into the next Garbo. (Read an excerpt.)
Music: Stairway to Bluegrass
Hear clips from "Raising Sand:"
It's an odd match: The Led Zeppelin front man who sang "Whole Lotta Love" and the bluegrass songstress whose tracks include "Choctaw Hayride." But they've made an album together, due out Tuesday: "Raising Sand."
Robert Plant, longtime heavy-metal rocker, and Alison Krauss, widely known for her bluegrass fiddling and poignant vocals, sang together several years ago at a tribute to folk and blues singer Leadbelly. When they decided to reteam, they picked T Bone Burnett to produce (he produced the hit album "O Brother, Where Art Thou") and they chose songs ranging from blues, R&B and country to folk tunes. Songwriter credits include Phil and Don Everly, Tom Waits and Mr. Plant on "Please Read the Letter."

Due to the unplanned Qantas grounding on the day of our Wedding, our flights to Sydney were cancelled. We had planned to spend 2 nights at Shangri-La Sydney prior to our trip to Maui and New York, but with no planes in the air, we had to stay in Melbourne.
I was able to ring up at 9.30am on Cup Eve, get a room at The Westin and check-in only a few hours later. No hassle. The hotel was fully booked, but they managed to find us a room and a few added extras as it was our honeymoon. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, the service is the best I have ever experienced in Melbourne.
We have travelled extensively throughout Europe, Asia and the United States and the service at The Westin Melbourne delivered on our expectations. I am really impressed by the little thoughtful things. For example, as we had to bring part of our bridal gear, my wife had only removed 100's of pins for her hair late in the night. The next day, housekeeping tidied them up for her. Nothing big, just attention to detail, one less thing to worry about.
The rooms are immaculate. The bed is TRULY heavenly and the amenities first class.Room service food was above average, and we were invited to a Cup Day brunch compliments of the hotel - food was incredible!
Great location at this fully featured hotel - only 50m from Flinders Street station and Federation Square. Trams at your doorstop. Would be amazing location for tourists who wish to explore our great city.
My new wife and I can not rave enough about The Westin, and I can assure you we will be back.

Nats skipper Johnson feels numbness in left leg
WASHINGTON -- Nationals manager Davey Johnson missed the end of Washington's regular-season finale because of numbness in his left leg that was traced to pinched nerves in his back.
After NL East champion Washington's 5-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday, the 69-year-old Johnson -- the oldest skipper in the majors -- said he started losing feeling in his leg during the third inning and took a muscle relaxer and aspirin.
Still not feeling OK by the seventh inning, he left the dugout, turning managing duties over to bench coach Randy Knorr. A team doctor took a series of X-rays, discovered that Johnson had bulging discs pressing against nerves, and gave him anti-inflammatory medicine.
Johnson said he expected to be given an injection on the team's day off Thursday to help the problem.
He doesn't anticipate having any trouble traveling or managing during the playoffs. The Nationals will fly Saturday and open their NL division series at the Atlanta Braves or St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday.
After walking to a Nationals Park interview room without any apparent problem, Johnson opened his postgame news conference by saying: "I'm OK. Nothing wrong with me."
Asked his level of concern about Johnson, Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo replied: "None."
Johnson's players did not seem to be too worried about him, either, with several making jokes about what happened.
"Everybody's hurting. I mean, it's September," right fielder Jayson Werth explained. "Maybe they're sympathy pains. I'm not sure."
Noting that several everyday players got a chance to sit out Tuesday or Wednesday, third baseman Ryan Zimmerman kidded: "I thought he just didn't want to manage; he was tired of managing. Everyone else got a day off, yesterday or today, so I thought he was taking one."
Said first baseman Adam LaRoche: "I thought he just needed a nap."

AbstractThis project will explore the potential of neural network and wavelet algorithms to yield significant performance improvements needed for future acoustic detection and classification systems. Future systems must automatically recognize complex acoustic signatures in realistic environments. Neural and wavelet algorithms open new possibilities for designing sonar systems by offering the potential for compact, massively parallel computational hardware with increased flexibility in accommodating new targets and environments. Computer simulations will be employed to investigate neural and wavelet processing algorithms that are expected to yield significant increases in the accuracy with which specific acoustic signals can be detected, classified and tracked.

This post here is just to keep the thread alive :D
I really am not a fan of my DA* 16-50. I find it too be too large and slow too use. I am thinking of switching to the Tamron 17-50
Please start reviewing pentax's. Esp. K-5 and K-01
Idea copied from the canon forum. Just trying to create some traffic. So whats your favorite lens on you pentax dslr.
Mine would probably the pentax DA 55-300. Sharp all the way around. Stays at f4...
Now its arond $1100
The price of the pentax k-5 is only $1200 now which makes it the best value on the market. any objections?
ccan some1 give me the link to the IR review of the a77. im not seeing it
Blurry edges are a pretty minor problem and is probably lens related. The major problem with q is who it is targeted at. Who would use this? Maybe a macro shooter. MFT camera were great for street...
oops, I meant d7000.:confused:
I would also like to see a k-5 review. I would especially want to see how it stacks up against the k-5.
I would recommend the Canon 85mm f1.8 usm ($300) for a portrait lens. Then for group shots get the tamron 17-50 f2.8 ($400). Then go buy
yourself a canon t2i if you want. Optically you cant these...
Actually the 55-300 is $370 right now
I think the reason that Pentax is behind the big 2 (Canon and Nikon) is because of there lenses. There bodies are just as good as there counterparts but the lenses in my opinion are just too...
Well, at least we have one :).
I was wondering when the buyers guide would be updates with the d7000. it has been almost a month since the review
the cool apperence/ lack of contrast might be the lightings fault, not the place
I think if you shoot something llike a tree, you will be able to get he same results (purple fringing + texture)

Big Daddy's Restaurants
Big Daddy's Restaurants were a chain of restaurants located in New York, Florida and the Bahamas, local landmarks in Brooklyn and competitor to the better-known Nathan's Famous also in Coney Island. Big Daddy's was founded in 1964, and the last location closed circa 1991.
The first Big Daddy's Restaurant opened in 1964, and was located on Coney Island Avenue in the Sheepshead Bay section of Brooklyn, NY. It was known to be the only true competitor of Nathan's Famous Hot Dogs. The driving force behind Big Daddy's success was the partnership of Murray L. Handwerker, the nephew of Nathan Handwerker, founder of Nathan's Famous and Robert "Big Daddy" Napp.
In addition to serving hot dogs and crinkle-cut French fries, Big Daddy's also served pizza, chow mein on a bun, roasted pork sandwiches, and had a full deli as well as a clam bar. The restaurant was known for its decor of red and white candy stripes and pictures of partner Robert Napp surrounded by the famous celebrities of that era. It was also known for offering kiddie rides in the parking lot to create a Coney Island atmosphere. In the 1968 film Bye Bye Braverman, a scene was shot with actor George Segal in front of Big Daddy's as well as on location throughout the borough of Brooklyn.
During the mid-1970s Miami club fighter Jerry Powers whose claim to fame was 44 fights in one year worked at Big Daddy's Restaurant on Lincoln Road in Miami Beach.
Drummer Howie Fields, who played with the legendary Harry Chapin had his doubts about the broadway show The Night That Made America Famous until according to his website he remembered late one cold night in December 1974 eating a burger/fries/coke in a now defunct Brooklyn hot dog place called Big Daddy's (on Coney Island Avenue in Sheepshead Bay where he lived), thumbing through the free newspaper "Good Times", coming across this tiny blurb, and being thrilled because, up until that moment, there was still some doubt in my mind as to whether the whole Broadway show thing was really going to happen.
In addition to many New York area locations, the restaurants eventually opened several locations in Florida, Virginia and the Bahamas. Little is known of the Bahamas location, but in Florida, Big Daddy's became popular on the Lincoln Road Mall in Miami Beach amongst many transplant New Yorkers, locals, and tourists.
The Big Daddy's in Sheepshead Bay closed in 1977, The Lincoln Road Mall location closed in 1986, and the last known location on Washington Avenue on South Beach closed around 1991.
Former Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz said on his official web-site "You know you're from Brooklyn if......You Went to Big Daddy's on Coney Island Avenue as a change from Nathan's".
One of the original partners, Murray L. Handwerker died on October 21, 1971 at the age of 47 leaving behind his wife and three children.
In an article by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) News dated January 7, 1970, Napp and Handwerker filed a registration with the SEC seeking to take the company public, although nothing ever materialized.
Robert "Big Daddy" Napp unsuccessfully ran for the Miami Beach City Council in a popular election in 1977 where he lost by only 244 votes. Napp later said there were 710 overvotes unread by the machine, but no court would listen to him. In an article dated April 8, 1990 in the Miami Herald, Napp was looking to make a comeback with the Big Daddy's name by opening a location on Washington Avenue in Miami Beach. Napp died in November 1990.

Savage Barbecue: Race, Culture, and the Invention of America's First Foodby Andrew Warnes
Pub. Date: 08/15/2008
Publisher: University of Georgia Press
Barbecue, says Warnes, is an invented tradition.
And, especially in the American South, it can cause intense debate and stir regional pride. Perhaps, then, it is no surprise that the roots of this food tradition are often misunderstood. In Savage Barbecue, Andrew Warnes traces what he calls America's first food through early transatlantic literature and culture.
Barbecue, says Warnes, is an invented tradition. Much like Thanksgiving, it has close associations with frontier mythologies of ruggedness and relaxation. Starting with Columbus's journals in 1492, Warnes shows how the perception of barbecue evolve from Spanish colonists' first fateful encounter with natives roasting iguanas and fish over fires on the beaches of Cuba. European colonists linked the new food to a savagery they perceived in American Indians, ensnaring barbecue in a growing web of racist attitudes about the New World. Warnes also unearths barbecue's etymological origins, including the early form barbacoa; its coincidental similarity to barbaric reinforced emerging stereotypes.
Barbecue, as it arose in early transatlantic culture, had less to do with actual native practices than with a European desire to define those practices as barbaric. The word barbecue retains an element of violence that can be seen in our culture to this day.
