A United States sport lighting fixture company lately offered one half court basketball court lighting system to some client in Malibu, CA. It was a really small job, comparatively speaking, to a few of the other projects the organization normally handles. However, smaller sized jobs such as this aren't uncommon within the residential marketplace.
Home sport courts are frequently really small themselves. They're also typically customized towards the sports preferences from the homeowner. As a result, standard sport court lighting kits can't be used effectively. Lighting systems need to be customized towards the specific size of a legal court. They likewise have to consider any mitigating factors which come to deal with upon the work.
Initially glance, this will happen to be a really quick, simple order of basketball court lighting fittings. The electrician who had been working with respect to the homeowner had already labored the photometric computations. Also, he understood exactly the number of rods and fittings he needed website.
More often than not, the game lighting vendor could have been needed to calculate a photometric lighting design that will have indicated feet candle propagates. They'd used this, consequently, to render a three dimensional type of the suggested system. Such models permit them to check out, as they say, different fittings before any purchase orders are really completed.
Things weren't so simple using this basketball court lighting system. Malibu, CA has very strict light dark sky laws and regulations. For individuals individuals who might be a new comer to this term, dark skies describes a preferred degree of minimal artificial light.
When light trespass in to the sky over a city is fixed, the moon and stars are clearly visible, and also the scenery looks a lot more peaceful and aesthetic towards the city's occupants. Also, daftar maxbet people can sleep better during the night when light trespass is prohibited from shining to their bed room home windows. In certain driving areas and parking lots, restricting light trespass is another safety consideration.
Not just did they've dark sky laws and regulations to deal with, they also had home owners association limitation around the basketball court lighting rods. Pole levels were restricted to an optimum height of 16 ft. This measurement incorporated the combined entire pole and also the height from the supporting base. It was very difficult to fill, because no manufacturer makes rods only at that height. Sbobet
However, because of the strong relationship between your vendor and also the sport lighting producers, account managers could negotiate a unique transaction. Two light rods were cut towards the preferred levels through the manufacturer. These were then drop shipped straight to the electrician onsite.
Combined with the two rods were also shipped two 1000W full cutoff fittings. These basketball court lighting fittings strictly limit luminance to the court limitations and therefore are entirely compliance using the standards from the Worldwide Dark Sky Association.
Once it was complete, there had another unforeseen challenge to deal with. A lens within the CXL fittings was damaged in shipment. The seller immediately responded by covering the price of a 3 day air freight substitute. Expedited delivery was handled by such efficiency by everyone concerned the substitute really showed up in just 2 days at no additional cost towards the client. Pbsbo

(Deborah) Mars Is Out of Fort Ti

What's the story behind this provocative headline?

Dont let them kid you,its the money they will miss,although im sure Forrest and Debbie will still contribute something.Maybe when they come up here in the summer they want to enjoy themselves w/o obligations.I say volunteer work cant last forever...no surprise...

United States
#4 Mar 1, 2008
What do you mean "Someone's grasping"?(Do you mean that I'm grasping?) And why put "provocative" all in caps and use three question marks? I infer from that, that I've just hit a nerve with you. What's up? Anyway ...
I just find it interesting (and, yes, provocative) that after donating so much money to the fort the Marses would bail out, and without any details (per this article). And is Westbrook's supposed/questionable "retirement" related to this bailout, as the Press Republican implies, albeit obliquely? There's a reason this otherwise terse article includes these particular (yes, provocative) details.
And, hey, I really don't know anything about the behind-the-scenes Fort Ti politics, but my nose tells me there's a story behind this headline.

I really dont see what the big deal is,they donated,they volunteered,they dont want to do it anymore,i dont consider it a bailout,perhaps theres a personal reason,like illness,that they dont want plastered all over the paper and topix.
Just as the paper said'it was rumored' Westbrook was retiring.Westbrook said he was looking forward to working with the boards new leadership after the annual meeting.I understand your curiousity,but do not see anything else besides the obvious.So from my end,when ''your nose tells you there's a story behind this headline''i take that as grasping.If your right and something does come of this i will apoligize to you directly and admit that i am naive,but the news does have tendencies to exzagerate truths simply for headlines.
#6 Mar 2, 2008
I am a HUGE fan of Deb and Forest,and like was mentioned earlier, maybe they would like to come up here and just "vacation". The fact that Deborah would step down previous to thte Grand Opening of an institute that bears her name, is in my mind a bit confusing, but honestly, it's none of my business why, and when I see them again, I won't ask. The Mars's have done a hell of alot for the Fort. Let's just let these people be. And thank them for their help by respecting their privacy.
United States
#7 Mar 2, 2008
While I understand people not wanting to delve into their friends' personal matters, nor wanting their private issues aired publicly, I still feel this story is relevant to this town and, actually, news-worthy -- more so than, say, something like "Naked Chilson Resident Chases Wife Around Barn with Machete While Slugging Down a Quart-Sized Genny."
There have been threads on this site that have involved people I know and have a certain amount of loyalty to, and I chose not to comment, and felt bad that they were having troubles and that those troubles were being aired publicly. I also agree that the Marses have made invaluable contributions to the Fort and deserve our praise and thanks. But I also think that speculation is healthy and normal and that we shouldn't differentiate between the so-called "losers" and "winners" in terms of whose story is spoken about. That isn't democratic. It's called freedom of speech, and, in my opinion, as long as no one's slandering another person, it's okay.
That said, I do apologize for using the word "bailout," because that word has negative implications. Something more neutral would have been more appropriate and respectful.
And, yes, papers create headlines, and even twist and tweak the facts to provoke readership. I also find the timing of the release of this news odd: late on a Saturday night. Don't know how newspapers work. Perhaps they had an empty space and just wanted fill copy right then and there rather than wait for the next day or two. But in the end, this is a rather big local story.

Mrs. Mars has expressed interest in recent years in other worthy efforts here in her hometown. It is my sincere hope that she will find other local projects to participate in.
Thank you, Debbie, for all that you have done in service to our community.
#11 Mar 5, 2008
You will find there is plenty behind the scenes here. And, yes, the possible retirement of Westbrook is tied to Deb and Forrest Mars departure from the fort's affairs. There was great conflict between the Mars and Westbrook. I'd say you were right when you said it was a provocative headline.

And here's the latest:
#16 Mar 19, 2008
Who Westbrook *hasn't* pissed off is the short list. The people he keeps are him are ALL "yes-men." The rest--some seriously talented and nice people--just put up with his crap for so long and then move on.
He's got some really serious...issues.
And yes, having worked in the museum field and for non-profits, it is VERY unusual for someone like Mrs. Mars to not attend this
Retire? Ha. Westbrook would MARRY Fort Ti, if it was legal!
United States
#17 Mar 19, 2008
How long has Westbrook been there? My money says the next press release will be about his "retirement."

Food inflation rises to 9.13 per cent
Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee termed the rise in food inflation as an area of "grave concern".
New Delhi: Food inflation jumped to 9.13 per cent for the week ended September 7 from 8.84 per cent in the previous week, mainly due to a rise in prices of potatoes, pulses and poultry.
Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee termed the rise in food inflation as an area of "grave concern".
While prices of onions eased marginally during the week, gram, masoor, arhar, urad and poultry rates firmed up on an annual basis, as per Wholesale Price Index (WPI) data released by the government on Thursday.
Potato prices, too, firmed up by about 15 per cent on an annual basis.
However, as a whole, inflation in the fruit and vegetable segments eased during the week under review vis-a-vis the same period last year.
In the week ended September 10, food inflation had declined to 8.84 per cent from 9.47 per cent in the previous week.
"These fluctuations are taking place and it is one of the areas of grave concern," Mukherjee told reporters, adding, "Food inflation is perilously close to double digits."
As per the WPI data, inflation in cereals, milk, eggs, meat and fish also eased to 13.17 per cent during the week under review.
Overall, inflation in primary articles stood at 11.43 per cent for the week ending September 17, compared to 12.17 per cent in the previous week. Primary articles constitute over 20 per cent of the WPI basket.
Non-food articles, which include fibres, oil seeds and minerals, recorded 12.89 per cent inflation during the week ended September 17, down from 17.42 per cent in the previous week.
Meanwhile, inflation in the fuel and power segment went up to 14.69 per cent during the week ended September 17 from 13.96 per cent in the previous seven-day period.
Headline inflation, which factors in manufactured items, fuels and non-food primary items, in addition to food commodities, stood at a 13-month high of 9.78 per cent in August.
The Reserve Bank has already hiked policy rates 12 times since March, 2010, to tame demand and curb inflation.

Reproducible: Always
We're probably going to want to reimplement flexbox as it gets standardized; I don't see this happening before we do that.
Created attachment 515871 [details]
Testcase adapted from corresponding webkit bug
The testcase uses an imaginary experimental property -moz-box-lines.
I realize Bugzilla is not the place to evangelize. However seeing that things like rounded corners and shadows, though also experimental, are widely implemented I think it's fair to say that "CSS3 Flexboxes" have not gotten the attention it warrants, even though its significance can hardly be overstated. That is, if you're a web developer who's has had to put up with the madness of hacking up layouts with floats and absolute positioning! In order to build non-super-trivial layouts sanely, quickly and easily flexboxes are the way to go!
Box-lines: multiple is the missing piece, because it's absence breaks usability (think small screens).
Flexie a JS polyfill that makes flexboxes usable across browsers today, which for me presents nothing less than a revolution in the way I code web layouts.
As a frontend web dev I'll argue that Flexboxes are the most important module of CSS3! Thanks, and I hope you'll excuse may non-implementation oriented comment...
This bug is invalid with the new css3-flexbox draft.
The new draft has "flex-wrap: wrap", which corresponds to the old "box-lines: multiple". Firefox 18 with layout.css.flexbox.enabled set doesn't seem to recognize the "-moz-flex-wrap" property at all.

The Discussion
Very impressive.
Are you talking about Sampy's biceps? I know, right?!?!
No, actually I wasn't going to mention that I really do think they should all hit the gym.
Very nice video, alot has been talk about. I wonder if you guys have any data about if a video is watched a 100 times. ow many times it it via the silverlight player ? how manytimes via zune ? It would really interest me.
Because for now I feel Windows Media Player gives me a better experience than silverlight. But Silverlight could do so much better
e.g. :
# I would love controls in full screen view (especialy drag the slide and volume because pauze is already there)
# See the time stamp of the slider change while you drag.
# I would love chapsters in video's ( almost every video has a section 'about the people' and 'about the subject' )
# With 'This week on C9' would really be lovely to skip a part of the video where thay talk about something you acualy saw the whole video of, previously that week. Without loading that part of the video over the network.
# Adaptive Streaming ? Or does it do this allready ? (the player doesn't really show an indication)
But anywho, great work guys ! It's very nice to see you need to maintain so many site's with a so little group of people !
I would love to get the .plan on what the team does
BTW, Duncan can do more pull-ups than anybody around here (at least Jeff's team, but it extends beyond us...).
Cool...btw, I'm 47 now but still live by a strict code. (USMC) Ooh Rah!
All my questions got answered!
Very, very, very nice. Good to see the team behind the code
Niners rock, but the people who facilitate this rock even more,... That would make them made of granite or something,...
next time give Nathan a mic
very cool....
random results:
Sampy and the "Locking" I recall when you posted about adding locks and how it fixed problems, Yeah I kind of figured it was a case like that. funny how in some cases serial is better than parallel
lots of cool info from all of you.
Duncan: things we can't see may still be interesting to us... I have a few background things I do that are like that. I think it is important for developers to know / learn about having more than one tool / more than one way to takle a problem.
well done
Hmmm.... ya know the old finger the plan is reallly close to what a blog does....
the difference is the blog keeps a history of the posts, the old .plan was just one file that got updated.
what about a new "XML .xplan" format that hijacks the ideas of feeds/blogs and rss ??
so you have a .xplan file on the network somewhere and you can have an xplan reader in the code of the site / also a web serivce that hands you an xplan formated document....
post to upate your "Plan" in place of "edit blog post"
kinda rough but seems doable w/o a ton of work I think....
Well, that was a sly way of dodging my questions.
Nice set of videos though, guys. Very informative. Is it just me, or does publishing a video seem like an incredible amount of work? The explanation alone lasted eight minutes or so.
It is, but compared to doing all the work yourself it's way less time than it used to be. Also, our current sprint has been focusing on streamlining the process to make it a lot easier.
Also, Sampy was explaining the guts of how it works (since he built it), which could make it seem more complicated than it really is for our content producers.
What questions did we dodge?
super awesome
I may have missed them (or simply forgotten about them) in that huge video, but I don't recall hearing what exactly was done to fix the performance problems that used to appear solely outside the US, and while javascript performance was touched on briefly at the end, I didn't hear what, specifically, you guys did to optimize your scripts.
We didn't talk about what we did for the international slowness because we didn't do anything about the international slowness specifically. Basically, any performance enhancements we do related to the client (html, css, javascript) help exponentially as requests come from fruther and further away from our servers.
I have an obvious question which i'll probably get shot for... why not use youtube? It's there for just this purpose, sharing videos? You could still post other content which we can download. Half the time the silverligth player doesn't load, takes too long, my browser hangs, and on my boyfriends mac, silverlight loads, but the player is inusuable. It doesn't load correctly. It looks like your starting at a picture through a foggy window.
Great technical overview guys. Thanks.
Wanted to mention that Sampy reminds me of 'Mark' from Empire Records. Anyone concur?

This thread is to compare the 32ohm DT880 and DT990 in an unamped environment (out of a soundblaster x-fi). Im hoping the xfi is up to the task of powering these phones with decent sound quality. I want these for gaming and listening to hip hop and top 100 music .I will be most likely be using these for hours at a time at medium volumes. Which one would be best for me? Thanks
Beyerdynamic DT880 VS DT990
Gear mentioned in this thread:
Beyers are very good, but are generally not great for the genres you mentioned. The 990 would be the better choice if you are set on Beyers. Your soundcard can power them fine, but an amp almost always provides some benefits.
i have both 600 ohm versions but i haven't heard the 32 ohm versions. i use the dt 880 most of the time for music because i love it's signature more than the dt 990. movies and games i would call it a tie since they both are comfortable and have nice soundstage, and the detail is excellent...
dt 990 might be more suited for hip hop because of the better bass quantity but i haven't tried them for that :)
haven't tried to use these cans directly out off my asus xonar d2. i don't think it's going to drive them well. as for the 32 ohms, i have no clue sorry...

Often, closed phones have a bass punchiness that would work better for those genres of music.
If I listened to those genres, I would definitely reach for my DT150 before I reached for my DT990/600, even though the 990 is clearly a better headphone. The 770/600 might even nail those genres a little better.
Not that the 990 doesn't do a great job with most music--they are about the best all-rounder I've heard, and will likely have a better sound signature for the kind of music you're looking for.
I hear alot about the dt880 not having enough bass. Can anyone reflect on this? When I listened to some bose triports that was enough bass for me so if these have atleast that then im okay with that. In games I like to know if an enemy is behind me or on the sides as well. Between these two headphones which would more accurately tell me where a person is located? Thanks for the replies! (btw I picked beyers because they seem to be one of the most comfortable phones on the market-- they also look nicely made too)
The 880/600 has good bass but its not super impactful. From what i've read, the 880 is not good for gaming. The 770 is recommended a lot and occasionally the 990.
Don't know what you've been reading, but on head-fi I recall the 770 recommended for single player gaming as it has lots of boomy bass which makes better immersion. The 880 is apparently one of the best for gaming, according to the 'quest for the holy grail of gaming sound' thread. The 990 also has emphasized bass but the biggest difference for me was the chainsaw like treble that just cut apart anything I put into them.
they are both equally good for placement and pinpointing in my opinion for games. the soundstage and detail retrieval is practically the same... and they are very comfortable, great for those long sessions of gaming!
about bass, well the dt 880 has accurate and ample bass. i like it well enough, and it gives enough boom for explosions and gunfire. but in comparison to the dt 990, the dt 990 has much more bass with a bit boosted treble, with slightly recessed midrange.
i suggest you audition these cans to determine what works best for you. both will be fine for gaming in my opinion :)

I was really interested in trying out Beyers for a while, and then I got a chance to hear the 990 the other day and thought it sounded awful. I was using my D10 lineout into the owner's tube amp, and I felt the sound was all flabby, like it was coming through a wet paper bag. Is the 880 significantly different enough from the 990 that I should seek it out, or should I just chalk it up to the Beyer sound not being for me and seek something else?
What IS the Beyer sound?
Having hearing the DT990 for the second time, I can tell you it's not good for hip hop. It's way too airy, and the soundstage is pretty good. It's quite good for classical, and jazz and music with female vocals (listened from a friends place, I don't know the genre of all his music). But, it's not perfect for rock songs (depends on the song/band) or hip hop. But, listening to Celtic Women on the DT990 was pretty amazingly good. It's one of those odd headphones (at least for me, as I don't have a large experience with headphones), I think. I need more time to critically listen to it, not just 4 songs.
lol, I listen to just about anything, except for a few genres and sub genres. But, I listen rock, to classical, to jazz, country, anything that I think sounds good (and has good lyrics) is good enough for me! The simple pleasures in listening to music!
See if you like it.

There used to be a light,
one could see within my eyes,
it had once shown so bright,
and now begins to fade with my cries.
There used to be a grin on my face,
with every new person I'd meet,
it had once been flashed all over the place,
and now begins to turn upside down with defeat.
There used to be a space in my heart,
with room for everyone to fit,
it had once been so strong never to fall apart,
but now is chipped away with each new hit.
There used to be a joy in my life,
with the things Iloved to do,
not so much a hint of strife,
and now has become subdued.
Now I should say "Thanks for this.",
for what my world has now become,
it is fully void of any bliss,
I am now empty and numb.
This one goes out to everyone,
whether you were an enemy or friend,
who stabbed me in the back for fun,
What you have done you cannot comprehend.
I'm now dead inside,
all what's left is an empty shell,
Just tossed aside,
without a care or farewell.

Convert txt to png

Project Budget$250 - $750 AUD
Completed In5 days
Total Bids13
Project Description
We are a small, independent photography company specialising in junior team sports photography.
We have developed all our tech systems in-house using a series of shell (bash) scripts. We use Macs (Mavericks), and the bulk of our image processing is done through a loosely coupled collection of modules based on ImageMagick.
One task we complete manually is the conversion of a text file (people's name) into a transparent background png to be overlaid on the rest of the print. We are looking to automate this process. The final product should:
-- receive parameters such as the text file (including tabs), font, colour, minimum/maximum font size (eg 9.0/14pt), box size (based on photo orientation)
-- automatically fit the text to box, aligning tabs (Back Row: etc), auto text size, line breaks (not breaking names) on commas if needed, line spacing (leading)
-- produce a transparent png based on the inputs that displays the txt file contents 'beautifully'
Things that I would build on the script in the future:
-- ability to select an alternative font if the best fit font size is too small (under [url removed, login to view]) - eg Arial to Arial Narrow
-- ability to alter box size based on input logic if the best fit font size was too small - eg make the box a little bigger and the photo a little smaller
What we have tried:
-- LaTeX appears to be an obvious choice. Tab stops were do-able, but the background transparency was problematic. Requires a heavyweight install
-- ImageMagick has a text resize functionality, but can't do tabs. Could still be an option if two text pngs were outputted with the same font size could be combined
-- wkhtmltoimage appears to be the best option, and is lightweight. Can be styled easily with css, but I still can't get it right enough
There is no restriction on how this is done, other than it should be fast and run on the systems specified above.
I have attached some samples of outputs that we do manually.

Reticulocytes are slightly immature red blood cells. A reticulocyte count is a blood test that measures the amount of these cells in the blood.
Anemia - reticulocyte
A blood sample is needed.
No special preparation is necessary.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing or a slight bruise. This soon goes away.
The test is done to determine if red blood cells are being created in the bone marrow at an appropriate rate. The number of reticulocytes in the blood is a sign of how quickly they are being produced and released by the bone marrow.
A normal result for healthy adults who are not anemic is around 0.5% to 1.5%.
The normal range depends on your level of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. The range is higher if hemoglobin is low, from bleeding or if red cells are destroyed.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your health care provider about the meaning of your specific test results.
A higher than normal reticulocytes count may indicate:
A lower than normal reticulocyte count may indicate:
Reticulocyte count may be higher during pregnancy.
There is very little risk involved with having your blood taken. Veins and arteries vary in size from one person to another and from one side of the body to the other. Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:

Some CSU, Chico faculty are now offering students an optional experience using virtual world technology such as Second Life. From Wikipedia:
A virtual world is a genre of online community that often takes the form of a computer-based simulated environment, through which users can interact with one another and use and create objects. Virtual worlds are intended for its users to inhabit and interact, and the term today has become synonymous with interactive 3D virtual environments, where the users take the form of avatars visible to others graphically. These avatars are usually depicted as textual, two-dimensional, or three-dimensional graphical representations, although other forms are possible (auditory and touch sensations for example). Some, but not all, virtual worlds allow for multiple users.
Chico Virtual Campus in Second Life
Chico State is in the process of moving its virtual campus in Second Life, so for information about this contact the Technology & Learning Program at x6167, or Jim Aird at x3209.
New to Virtual Worlds?
If you are interested in seeing the campus in Second Life, you must first get a free account and create an avatar. The minimum system requirements, client download and instructions to create an account are on the Second Life Web site, http://www.secondlife.com.
|Before You Teach in Second Life
It is not recommended that faculty attempt to use Second Life in their courses alone. If you would like to learn more about teaching and learning in virtual worlds please contact TLP's consultant, Jim Aird at extension x3209.

Having just read a book by Alan Siegel about the importance of product branding and corporate identity, it was with some trepidation that I popped The Queers into my CD player. I must confess that my worries were unfounded. This is a very fine band indeed. The Queers are hard to pigeon hole. On the surface they look like a Brit-pop band, but they also operate on many other levels as well. Joe King (aka Joe Queer) heads up this fine group providing vocals and lead guitar, Phillip Hill is on Bass, and is the other vocalist, the unlikely named Lurch Nobody, rounds out this eclectic trio on drums.
These guys are all over the music map, the opening track "Overdue" is most certainly rooted in the great Brit-pop tradition. "I think she is starting to like me" is just a 60's gem, that contains everything that a 60's Beatle-esque song should have. "Girl About Town" is a head bangers heaven, it has the beat. In fact my wife reverted into a valley girl when she heard this one.
The one thing that I really liked about Munki Brain were the lyrics, they have a great sense of humor. "Filthy Phil" is a great example.
"I can't stay mad at you" is right out of the Beach Boys genre. In fact, on a blind taste test I would bet 99% of listeners would pick the Beach Boys as the singers. "I am a fool" is a song that sounds like a Monkeys tune. It is pop, pop, pop. You just can not help but sing along with it.
Even George Bush gets some air time. "Monkey In A Suit" is just a great example of grunge rock. "Monkey in a suit, on the White House lawn, Monkey in a suit, with his dunce cap on, Monkey in a suit with a 'nuclar' bomb"
I give this CD very high marks, if you don't have it already in your collection, you should rush out an buy it — you can't have my copy!Powered by Sidelines

DETROIT – The interior of the 2015 Canyon is designed to be comfortable and well equipped, while delivering the connectivity features that are essential for customers with active lifestyles. The cabin also boasts exceptional attention to detail and premium materials such as soft-touch materials and aluminum trim on the instrument panel of SLE and SLT models.
With customers who also own or likely transitioned out of a car, the Canyon's interior design blends elements of its full-size sibling, the Sierra, with those typically found in more personal vehicles such as sports coupes – including standard front bucket seats and a center console with a floor-mounted shifter.
"We tailored the Canyon's interior for those who need the attributes of a truck, but aren't necessarily looking for the full-size truck experience," said Helen Emsley, executive director, Global GMC Design and User Experience. "Some of the true truck cues are there, but it's an environment that's definitely more personal and refined."
The central element is an upright instrument panel with large instruments and a prominent driver information center is similar to Sierra. A center console-mounted shifter is similar to those found in midsize cars and crossovers. Sculpted door panels blend into the instrument panel for a seamless appearance, while also making it easier to enter and exit the vehicle.
Canyon's seats are designed for long-haul comfort and wear, too. They use dual-firmness foam for greater comfort on long drives and high-wear, stain-resistant cloth seating trim. A power-adjustable driver's seat is standard, and heated front leather seats are standard on SLT (and included with All Terrain). The All-Terrain package features exclusive color and trim details, including embossed seatbacks and unique contrast stitching.
And when it comes to storage, the Canyon offers plenty of options, including an upper-instrument panel storage bin (when not equipped with the up-level audio system) and a large glove box volume. There's also generous room in full-width rear under-seat storage bins, as well as:
Comfort is enhanced with technologies, connectivity and other features that support owners' daily and recreational lives including a 3.5-inch-diagonal driver information screen in the instrument cluster (4.2-inch-diagonal multi-color display on SLE and SLT).
Interior colors choices include Jet Black, Jet Black/Dark Ash, Cocoa/Dune and Jet Black/Cobalt Red (All Terrain). Additional content for Canyon's base, SLE and SLT models includes:
Canyon base
Canyon SLE – includes all of the standard features of the base model, plus:
Canyon SLT – includes all of the standard features of the SLE model, plus:
IntelliLink and OnStar 4G LTE
GMC IntelliLink is standard on SLE and SLT models, and available the base model. It combines with available OnStar to bring infotainment technology to Canyon at a time more and more consumers are buying smartphones. IntelliLink extends the OnStar experience from safety and security to information and entertainment by seamlessly integrating the capability of a smartphone into the vehicle so that hand-held phones may be safely stowed while driving.
Enhanced connectivity and convenience with IntelliLink includes text message support and Siri Eyes Free. With text message support, the driver can be alerted to new messages and can have them read aloud, view and respond to them with preset messages by voice (functionality depends on the smartphone). Siri Eyes Free enables iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 users to access Siri via the steering wheel controls and check calendar entries, have text messages read and respond to them, place calls or call up music.
Android phone users can also use the steering wheel controls to access their phone's voice recognition features.
Additional IntelliLink features include:
Complementing IntelliLink to enhance Canyon's connectivity is new OnStar with 4G LTE and standard built-in Wi-Fi hotspot. It provides a mobile hub for drivers and passengers to stay connected. The hotspot is on whenever the vehicle is on and comes with a three-month/three-gigabyte data trial, whichever comes first. And with OnStar, customers have a powerful antenna built right in to the vehicle's electrical system.
At the time of purchase, six months OnStar Directions and Connections includes all of OnStar's advisor-based safety and security features, including Automatic Crash Response and Stolen Vehicle Assistance, as well as Turn-by-Turn navigation.
Five years of OnStar Basic Plan includes RemoteLink Key Fob Services, allowing owners to remotely start and lock/unlock a car (if properly equipped), and activate the horn and lights from anywhere with a data connection. It also includes OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics, which runs monthly checks of vehicle systems – including the engine, transmission and anti-lock brakes – and sends a diagnostic update to the owner via email; and Dealer Maintenance Notification, which sends a diagnostic report directly to a preferred dealer to simplify service scheduling. Basic plan does not include any emergency services.
GMC has manufactured trucks since 1902, with innovation and engineering excellence built into all GMC vehicles. The brand is evolving to offer more fuel-efficient trucks and crossovers, including the Terrain small SUV and Acadia crossover. GMC's highest-volume vehicle, the Sierra pickup, is the most powerful light-duty pickup on the market, and the first full-size pickup to receive the highest-possible five-star Overall Vehicle Score for safety since the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration changed its New Car Assessment Program for the 2011 model year. Details on all GMC models are available at http://www.gmc.com/, on Twitter at @thisisgmc or at http://www.facebook.com/gmc.

With the increasing focus on wage-and-hour litigation, the issue of an employee's "regular rate" arises in most every case involving alleged unpaid overtime. It also factors into an employer's payroll, each and every pay period. Here's a brief roadmap through this sometimes rocky terrain.
The FLSA Formula For Defining The "Regular Rate"
Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the regular rate includes all compensation, earnings, or "remuneration" for work performed except certain kinds of payments specifically excluded, such as reimbursement for expenses incurred by an employee on the employer's behalf, or special situations such as reporting-time premiums, discretionary bonuses, and a few others including vacation, or holiday pay.
To avoid confusion and costly payroll errors, some of the "statutory" exclusions from the regular-rate formula may need to be further defined. For example, a "non-discretionary" bonus is any bonus that is awarded based on performance or service and which employees can expect to be paid based upon the relevant criteria. There are only limited situations that would permit a bonus to be called "discretionary," such as a Christmas bonus paid with no performance or service consideration.
There is a broad array of potential sources for an employee's "earnings," which may consist of payment by a piece-rate, salary, commission, or some other basis, but without regard to the particular method of payment. Unless the employee earns only an hourly rate (in which case that generally will be the regular rate), the regular rate is calculated by dividing all earnings for the pay period (except for the statutory exclusions noted above) by the total number of hours actually worked. The regular rate therefore is the average hourly rate resulting from the following fraction:
All weekly earnings/all hours worked = regular rate
The regular rate can never be less than the applicable statutory minimum wage. If an employee is also paid a base hourly rate plus a bonus, the bonus amount must be added to the total week's compensation, resulting in a regular rate that is greater than the base hourly rate.
Once determined, the regular rate is used to calculate overtime. Under federal law, that generally means 1.5 times all hours worked over 40 in a workweek. Under California law, this premium must be paid for all hours worked in excess of eight hours in any workday and 40 hours in any workweek; or on the first eight hours worked on the seventh consecutive day of work in any workweek. Additionally, employees are entitled to double their regular rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of 12 hours in any workday; and for all hours worked in excess of eight on the seventh consecutive day of work in a workweek. Special overtime zones exist for employees working under a properly-implemented alternative workweek.
Under both federal and state law, there are "exemptions" or "exceptions" to the general overtime requirements which may apply to various occupations or industries. They are narrowly interpreted, and the law most favorable to the employee generally will apply in any particular situation.
The California "Regular Rate" Formula
California generally follows federal regulations regarding the calculation of the regular rate. If an employee is paid by a piece rate or commission basis, one of two methods may be used to determine the regular rate and overtime: 1) the piece or commission rate may be used as the regular rate and the employee is paid 1.5 times this rate for production for regular overtime hours and double this rate for double-time hours during the week; or 2) the standard regular rate is determined by dividing total earnings for the workweek by the total hours worked during the workweek. Under the second method, for each overtime hour worked, the employee is entitled to an additional ½ of the regular rate for hours requiring payment at 1.5 times the regular rate, and to the full rate for hours requiring double time. This method is by far the most commonly used.
Differences between federal and state law exist for calculating a salaried employee's regular rate and overtime. A nonexempt employee's salary paid for a period in excess of a workweek first must be reduced to its workweek equivalent to reach the regular rate. For example, if the salary is $2,000 per month, you would multiply this amount times 12, then divide the result by 52 weeks to get the equivalent weekly salary ($461.54). In California, the regular rate for a salaried nonexempt employee is deemed to be 1/40th of the employee's weekly salary, which must at least be the minimum wage. Under federal law, if a nonexempt employee is employed solely on a weekly basis, the regular hourly rate is determined by dividing the weekly salary by the fixed number of hours the salary is intended to compensate.
Alternatively, if the employee's hours are expected to fluctuate from week to week, under the "fluctuating workweek" method, the salary may be paid under an agreement that the salary covers however many hours are worked in a workweek, with the regular rate determined by dividing the weekly salary by the total number of hours worked in the workweek. Overtime is then paid at ½ of the regular rate times each overtime hour worked. The difference in overtime owed is significant. If an employee works 50 hours including 10 hours overtime, with a weekly salary of $1000, the employee would earn $100 in overtime under federal law and $375 in overtime under California law.
For employees paid a daily guarantee or "day rate," which is paid regardless of the number of daily hours worked, the California Labor Commissioner takes the position that, ordinarily, the hours to be used in computing the regular rate of pay may not exceed the legal maximum regular hours which, in most cases, is eight hours per workday, 40 hours per workweek. Again, the resulting rate must at least be the applicable minimum wage. Once again, the results under federal and California law are strikingly different. If an employee works 10 hours each day for 5 days, at $200 per day rate, the employee has earned $1,000 for the week, but the employee generally would earn only $100 overtime under federal law and $375 under California law.
Blended Regular Rates
Where an employee in a single workweek works at two or more different types of work for which different straight-time rates have been established, the regular rate for that week is the weighted average of such rates. For example, suppose an employee works a total of 42 hours for the workweek: 32 hours at $11.00 per hour plus 10 hours at $9.00 per hour. In this case, the weighted average (or "regular rate") is $10.52. This rate is calculated by adding the $442 straight time pay for the workweek [(32 hours x $11.00/hour) + (10 hours x $9.00/hour) = $442] then dividing this amount by the 42 hours worked for the week. Overtime is paid at ½ times the regular rate of $10.52 x 2 overtime hours = $10.52.
Employers therefore must be cautious when paying different hourly rates, or hourly rates with separate piece rates for piece work, because the overtime premium will be blended after factoring in all other rates times the hours worked at those rates. Additionally, the "rate-in-effect" method for paying hourly-rate overtime rarely applies in California, except in specified situations such as when an employee is being paid a "prevailing wage" for a public works project.
California also generally recognizes a "group regular rate" methodology for computing the regular rate of pay involving piece-rate, formula, or incentive pay workers. This method generally involves a formula whereby the total group's compensation is divided by the total number of people in the group, with each employee being paid his or her share. The regular rate for each worker is determined by dividing the pay received by the number of hours worked respectively. Of course, the regular rate cannot be less than the minimum wage.
No Manipulation To Avoid Overtime
In California, the regular rate is designed to further a two-fold public policy underlying overtime: 1) to spread employment by encouraging employers to avoid overtime work and thereby employ additional workers on a regular basis; and 2) where the employer prefers overtime work, to compensate the employee for the burden of working longer hours. Any methodology that seeks to undermine the regular rate to avoid payment of an overtime premium may be invalidated by the courts or the California Labor Commissioner as a subterfuge.
For example, an employer cannot first calculate weekly pay at the base piece or incentive rate, then avoid overtime by reducing those base rates so that the employee always receives the same level of compensation without an overtime premium based on the original rates.
Employers should do frequent regular rate tune-ups by consulting with their legal counsel and conducting internal audits on a regular basis. The calculation of the regular rate can be extremely complex when combining different pay schemes and incentive rates, but getting the number right can make thousands of dollars difference in the calculation of overtime. This can make all the difference in the end, both in calculating damages when claims are made, or in getting it right when calculating overtime during payroll.

Clunky combat is Pirates of the Caribbean's significant issue in its PSP incarnation. It might not be the concern that it is if the game wasn't homed in on it. The cheap puzzles, wild camera, and touchy controls only compound the problems.
Taking control solely of Jack Sparrow, players romp around various film locales sword fighting with whatever comes at them. The system is set up so that the enemy defense needs to be broken down before any actual hits can connect. There are three types of enemies in total, regardless of the different graphical models used. Each has a specific string of attacks needed to break through noted directly above their head.
This causes a number of aggravating issues that carry through the entire experience. Fighting multiple enemies is nearly impossible to pull off successfully. Using the wrong button to initiate combat results in them automatically gaining a free hit. In a situation where all thee types of enemies are surrounding you, it's easier to die and respawn at the nearest checkpoint than to even try and fight your way out.
Secondary weapons can take out any foe in a single blow, which means a glass bottle has the same amount of impact as an exploding cannon ball. A third set of moves is unlocked by completing brief endurance stages. These charge as Sparrow hacks away at various nasties and can take out piles of monsters with a single shot. It feels like an admission by the developers that the combat simply doesn't work otherwise.
Pits, rope climbing, rope swinging and puzzle solving round out this five-hour ride of dullness. Getting over a pit via any means is difficult. The camera is rarely in the right location, and other times it's not adjustable at all. Jack has trouble stopping, so trying to gain a running start before taking a leap of faith is more work than it's worth.
Puzzles bring solutions so blatantly obvious, you have to wonder why they bothered in the first place. Level design is linear enough that getting lost isn't possible. Repetitive and mundane tasks like blasting open doors with a cannon are repeatedly forced on the player. They're not fun the first time, and after the fifteenth attempt, it's an absurd waste of a gaming period. A cheaply inserted multi-player mode involves ship-to-ship combat, the game's only variation on any of this.
If there's anything to take away from this PSP mess, it's the graphics engine. While sharp and clean, somehow looking better than the Playstation 2 version, the animation takes a serious hit. Single frames of animation are all that come through in crowded areas, lessening impact and making it difficult to tell if a swing even lands.
There's little to recommend here, even for the most fervent fans of this now multi-billion dollar franchise. It's a lackluster run through a wildly popular film. With such little merit, Dead Man's Chest should stay buried.
Pirates of the Caribbean – Dead Man's Chest is rated T (Teen) by the ESRB for Violence.Powered by Sidelines

Some things we did back then . . .
WE RODE yellow school buses and stopped in covered bridges and hugged girls. To a 14-year-old with the zits, it was better than home-made ice cream and cold watermelon. The girls giggled and fluffed their hair when the driver headed for the light at the end of the tunnel. We 14-year-olds with the zits settled back and waited for the next covered bridge.
-- We played roley-holey, Annie Over, dodge ball, ring-around-the-roses, and cowboys 'n Indians. We were politically incorrect before we could drive a car, date, or vote.
-- In the years of the zits, we were law breakers on those Friday nights when someone could borrow a car from Dad or Grandpa or an uncle and we drove dirt roads to The Ark at Riverside and bought beer years before we could "get high" legally. The man at TheArk got $5 for a case of cold beer, $3 for a case of hot. We drank a lot of hot beer.
WE "PUT the metal to the pedal" out on U. S 431 from the top of the hill at Melrose to the top of the hill at Saxon's Candy Kitchen. It was two lanes but straight as an arrow. I was pretty much the "King of The Road" in an uncle's blue Dodge . . . 110 on the speedometer and it would peg. We lived because God was looking after us.
-- We went "skinny dipping" in the creek that ran through Will Bryant's pasture. We "parked" in the moonlight on the creek bank in Will Bryant's pasture. We ran bank hooks at night in the creek that ran through Will Bryant's pasture. We learned how to "abandon ship" in a hurry when a cottonmouth would fall from an overhanging limb.
-- We plowed mules and learned to cuss. We plowed John Deere tractors and learned to chew tobacco. We learned what being "sick at the stomach" was all about.
WE ATE GREEN apples, ripe plums, and muscadines. We kept a peeled sweet potato in our overall pocket. When it turned green, it was ready to eat, honest.
-- We learned to shoot pool on a back table at The Smokehouse as a 14-year-old with the zits. We ate The Smokehouse chili and, on occasion, a bowl of the butterbeans.
-- We ate 10-cent baloney sandwiches at Doc's Café, listened to Hank Williams on the jukebox, and wallowed in unrequited love.
-- We went to J. D.'s picture show on Friday night and a girl who had held our hand the previous Friday night was sitting down front with a senior who had his own car . . . unrequited love and Ol' Hank would get an encore just as soon as the picture show was over.
-- We went to the Cameo in Anniston to watch a cowboy picture show. If we had another 11 cents we went on to The Noble for another cowboy picture show.
WE STOLE watermelons from Mr. Moore's watermelon patch until one day, in passing, he waved and said "How many of my watermelons did you boys get this morning?" Mr. Moore knew we were outlaws before our mothers did.
-- We drank cold water from a road side spring. Mr. Simpson, who lived near the spring, kept a tin dipper on a hook and everybody drank from it. Never got sick, either.
-- We laughed a lot, but we never cried. That was for sissies and girls and we were MEN!
-- We thinned cotton beneath a hot August sun, watched rich folks drive by in big, black Buicks, and wished the sun would go down so we could get to the house and dream of one day having a big, black Buick of our own.
-- These are just some of the things we did back then, but space is short. And I've just been reminded that this is a family newspaper in a small town and we really do need to shut up or hire a lawyer for Divorce Court.

The Austria international is keen to stay in England's top flight following his release from the Baggies, but accepts he may need to look further afield after little interest
Paul Scharner is determined to remain in the Premier League after being released by West Brom, but conceded he may need to move abroad if an offer does not materialise soon.
The 32-year-old joined Wigan in 2006 from Norwegian club Brann and spent four years at the Latics before moving to the Hawthorns. However, he was unable to secure a new deal after failing to break the 25-game threshold which would have triggered a one-year extension.
And the Austria international has admitted he would be disappointed if he had to leave England's top flight to continue his playing career.
He told the Wigan Evening Post: "I am hoping very much to stay in England. I have spent six-and-a-half very happy years here since joining Wigan, and I have made a lot of friends in the game.
|West Brom are 7/2 with bet365 to be relegated next season
"I made my name here, and I've made more than 200 games in the Premier League.
"I would be sad to have to go and it would be hard, but I also know that anything is possible and I may have to move elsewhere.
"The plan was always to wait for the Euros to finish, wait for another couple of weeks and then make a decision.
"By the middle of July I should be ready to say where I will play my football next season."
Scharner admits he may have to look further afield if a move doesn't happen soon, but he accepts that an uncertain future is part of being a footballer.
He added: "Everything is possible. I'm not worried what might or might not happen at all because these things happen in football.
"The career of a footballer is changeable and you have to be prepared to go where the work is."

Inside NIA: A Blog for Researchers
Posted on March 9, 2016 by Jonathan W. King, Program Director, Division of Behavioral and Social Research.
In 2009, NIH received its first year of funding through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). NIA received $275 million over two years in ARRA funds. Overall, these funds were used to intensify and expand scientific study and support the research infrastructure in aging and age-related cognitive change, including Alzheimer's disease, through a series of grants and initiatives. Among the many important projects NIA supported using ARRA funds was the genotyping of DNA samples collected from almost 20,000 participants in the Health and Retirement Study (HRS). Read More

Although Alzheimer's is the most common cause of dementia in older adults, an estimated 20 to 40 percent of people with dementia have some other form—such as Lewy body, vascular or frontotemporal dementia. NIH is focused on advancing our understanding of these Alzheimer's disease-related dementias (ADRD). I hope you will join us in this effort by attending—either in person or by webcast—the 2016 Alzheimer's Disease-Related Dementias Summit. Read More

If we hope to translate what we are learning about Alzheimer's disease into health, safety, and emotional well-being benefits for Alzheimer's patients and their families, then small businesses have a vital role in making that happen. The NIA recently published two funding opportunity announcements for small businesses focused on Alzheimer's disease. One targets the Small Business Innovative Research program and the other the Small Business Technology Transfer program. Both have an initial submission date approaching rapidly—April 5. And if peer reviewers smile upon your application, you can even receive funding before the end of September this year. Read More

Each summer, NIA's Intramural Research Program opens its lab doors to students for an 8- to 10-week intensive research experience. The Summer Training in Aging Research (STAR) Program is an opportunity for bright and motivated students to move beyond replicating standard protocols in school labs. It's much more than just pouring gels and inputting data; it's an unparalleled experience that can change or solidify your career trajectory. I invite you to join us. Read More
Posted on February 3, 2016 by Robin Barr, Director of the Division of Extramural Activities.
As the funding policy statement makes clear, the fiscal year 2016 budget is a historic first for NIA. Yes, we received a very substantial increase for research related to Alzheimer's disease—$350 million. But, in addition to that, we received a 4.2-percent increase in our general budget. That amount is above the rate of inflation for the first time since 2003, at the end of the era of doubling the budget. But, the competition for new and renewing awards remains fierce. Read More
Posted on January 27, 2016 by NIA Blog Team, Division of Extramural Activities.
The big news of 2016 so far is the increase in the NIA budget. We're very excited about the many opportunities in aging research that will be possible because of these extra funds. As we flesh out new funding opportunities and wait for applications in response to existing announcements, we thought we would reprise a few interesting posts from the last few months in case you missed them. If you missed a few, now is your chance to catch up. Read More
