Dancers might have grace and good balance, but when it comes to taking a step up in the world, their chances are few and none. So when a local dance troupe gets a national pat on the back, it's reason to, well, dance for joy. And Ballet Nouveau Colorado really worked hard for this honor by constantly tweaking the range of what ballet is and can be, under the creative watch of choreographer Garrett Ammon, a gifted dancemaker. Featuring everything from the annual 21st Century Choreography Competition (with audience participation) to a season of programs inspired by rock songs or poetry, this ensemble's offerings constantly raise the barre.
In this odd, enigmatic play by Edward Albee, Terry Burnsed played Julian, a humble priest destroyed by a Lawyer, a Cardinal, a Butler and a seductive benefactress named Alice, who may all have been acting on behalf of a corrupt and unimaginably vicious God. Burnsed's portrayal was at the heart of Tiny Alice's power and success; in fact, he acted with such integrity and passion that you wondered how he could endure repeating the role again and again through the run.
Tyee Tilghman brings dignity, subtlety and intelligent understatement to almost everything he does on a stage. This year's triumphs included a hardened street person in Curious's The Denver Project; a small but telling role in the Denver Center's Merry Wives of Windsor, where his low-key humor contrasted nicely with all the crazed hijinks going on around him; and a gravely beautiful portrayal of Orpheus in Sarah Ruhl's conceptually daring version of the Orpheus-Eurydice myth, staged — again — by Curious.
Doubt is about a priest who may or may not be molesting a young boy at his school, and the nun who, convinced of his guilt, is determined to bring him down. Jeanne Paulsen made Sister Aloysius every bit as stern and judgmental as the script required, but she also showed us there was something admirable about the woman's strength, single-mindedness and lack of sentimentality — as well as her bracing and ironic sense of humor. Every now and then, there was even a flicker of tenderness. She was, in short, riveting.
All three divas in 3 Mo' Divas sang pieces that ranged from opera to blues to disco with great authority and power. All were sensational. But Nova Y. Payton stood out. When she gave her sexy, playful, yearning rendition of Gershwin's "Summertime," you felt as if you'd never heard the song before, and she stripped "My Funny Valentine" of its corniness. Her phrasing was original and her voice a wonder. Note to Denver directors: Bring her back to us.
Two knock-it-out-of-the-park performances, and another acting display so good it almost saved a not-very-convincing play — that was Emily Paton Davies's contribution to the theater scene this year. In Crimes of the Heart, she played ditsy husband-killer Babe. Describing the killing, this girl was so sweetly and transparently reasonable that you really understood why she'd had to make herself a jug of fresh lemonade immediately afterward (she was thirsty) and then offered her husband a glass as he writhed on the carpet (it was the mannerly thing to do). In Love Song, Paton Davies showed us that she could be tough, funny, brittle and deeply tender. This actress has been on the scene for quite a while, and she gets more versatile and talented with every year that passes.

1) This man appears to be in his 20s and the clothing (wide cravat, slicked back hair and long sideburns) suggests the photo was taken in the 1850s. This man is the right age to be Blyth.
2) The equipment on the table identifies this man as a surveyor. As far as I can tell, the device is a Wye level, used for long- distance surveying. I found a similar-looking piece on Larry and Carol Meeker's Web site Antiques of a Mechanical Nature. Blyth was a surveyor in New York State before leaving home at 22 for Chile. He returned home with a beard in 1858 and posed for a portrait with his family; a few years later, he was in the card photograph (below). If the daguerreotype is Blyth, it was taken before his travels in 1853—a date that fits the clothing clues.
3) Even though Blyth's hairline is receding in this known picture, you can see the similarities between him and the unidentified portrait. Besides a similar hairline, their face shapes are close. It's not outside the realm of possibility to conclude Blyth posed for the daguerreotype before traveling to South America. This card photo shows he aged a bit from his frontier experience, but it's likely both pictures depict the same man.
4) One other feature in the daguerreotype suggests it could show Blyth: the cross. According to Charles Blyth, members of the family often posed wearing a cross.
1. Never write on the front. On the back is OK if you use a soft lead pencil for cardboard-mounted images, or a special photo-marking pen (such as a Zig marker) for 20th-century resin-coated snapshots. You can tag digital images using photo organizing or editing software.2. Use the full name whenever possible. Wouldn't it be great to know who "Nan's feller" was? While this woman knew everyone's name, it's doubtful that identification lasted past her generation. 3. We'll probably never know why all these folks got together on a summer's day. If there's a special occasion associated with the image, include a short note.

I have been elegible through AT&T for a long time. Never bought the iPhone 4 so ready for the iPhone 5! I can't wait!
Dang at least it 200 off i have to pay full retail.
Ps guys complaining this time of year will not help you get a cheaper phone at att and please don't promote doing it.
Also if you guys can remember the last two years att has made customers upgrade eligible as long as your upgrade date was with in the the same year so if your upgrade date is 12/31/11 and the phone comes out 10/16/11 you can still probably get it with out complaining. Double check you upgrade the week of release.
I don't qualify for an upgrade until 11/04/2012. Oh well iPhone 6 will be my next phone.
I checked my account with 2 lines. Second line is eligible mine isn't. I have to pay extra $250. Asked a Rep why and he said because the second line costs more it makes it eligible sooner for the upgrade. I'll probably buy it anyways and recoup some of the money by selling my iPhone 4.
I got the same message with the 18 bucks upgrade fee. But i want to know what does it really mean. Does it mean i get to get a new iPhone for only 18 bucks and a 2 year plan, or do i have to pay the standard cost of say 299 + 18 + 2year deal>? Thanks for the help
I qualify! Woo! can't wait!
Upgrade Advantage Program: See rate-plan brochure and Wireless Customer Agreement for full terms applicable to selected rate plan. Customer eligibility may vary based on credit history, payment history, payment status, customer type, and other factors. Two-year service agreement required. Upgrade fee of $18 applies. Subscriber must live and have a mailing address within AT&T's owned network coverage area. For further details regarding AT&T's Return Policy and Early Termination Fees, including Cancellation of Service, please see our return policy. AT&T may change the terms and conditions of the AT&T Upgrade Advantage Program at any time without notice. All other charges apply. Some dealers impose additional fees. Coverage not available in all areas.
Wohooo I'm elegible
Source: AT&T
My upgrade date randomly changed back in feb. From june 23 to nov 10th on primary line. *Have battled back and forth with CS and even threatening to cancel they will not budge and can not give me a reason why it was changed. The best they would do is take 50 bucks off my next 3 bills. So looks like ill be upgrading in nov.

I kind of feel like, there are plenty of parks where the cheap homer is available. I kind of like knowing that pitching prevails out in San Diego. Would I want my home team to play there, no. But as a baseball fan of a team that only goes there 3 times a year, it's good for baseball.http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/20...at-petco-park/
On Monday, Bud Black was asked what his stance was on moving in the PETCO Park fences.
I think theres room for discussion, Black said, choosing his words carefully before taking a long pause and repeating himself. I just think theres room to talk about it in our park.
Black didnt expand on what he said, but he hasnt been one to typically discuss the parks dimensions, even to that extent.

How did you explain your pregnancy to your children?
When you were pregnant, how did you explain the pregnancy to your other children?
When did you tell them that you were going to have another baby?
When I was pregnant with my second, my first son was only a year old. As he grew, he started to understand there was a baby in my tummy, but I dont think he really understood until the baby came home. I tandem breastfed my older two, so I did try to talk to him a lot about the new baby before she was born. With my third, the older two still did not fully understand it until the baby came home. When I was pregnant with my fourth, my third child was only a few months old. My older two did understand that there was a baby in my tummy. They were both very interested to know how the baby came out, which took a few tries until I was able to explain it to them in the way I thought was appropriate for their age, but still gave them an answer. My oldest automatically decided that the baby must be cut out of a woman's stomach, so I had to try to explain to him that is not how the baby gets out (but sometimes it is--he was fairly confused, as was I. I was not expecting the amount of questions he had). I don't remember when we told the older two, but I did find it helpful to include them in as much as possible. We did take the children with us to the ultrasound, and they were amazed by being able to see the baby. They also liked to touch my tummy and feel the baby kick.

My first two children are 19 months apart so there wasn't any explaining to do. My first was only 10 months old when I conceived my 2nd. It was just a very natural occurance within the family. My husband went to most of my prenatal appointments during my 2nd pregnancy, so my first child went with us and heard the baby's heartbeat each time. She never had any questions.
With the other 3 children, there were never any questions either. All of the children were very involved in each pregnancy, listening to the baby's heartbeat and feeling the baby move in my belly.

i also took my older children to appointments & they would feel kicks etc. It's interesting now though. my eldest 4 are 16, 14, 13 & 11yrs old. Due to my history of m/c we don't tell them until around 12wks or so. The 2 oldest(boys) aren't as excited. they think its odd for me to still be having babies. None of their friends have baby or even toddler siblings. The girls(11 &13) want to know when they can see pictures & if they can pick a name. The next 4 are aged 8,5,2yrs & 11mths. The 8 & 5yr olds(both boys) are excited. it's fairly new to them to have a new baby. As my belly grows the 2yr old will probably rub & kiss it like he did last time & of course the baby has no idea until he's no longer the baby.
I had a great book when i was expecting my 2nd, 3rd & 4th kids. because they were so young(i had 4 under 5yrs) I found this to be the easiest way of explaining what was happening. we would read it every couple of days.

LEWISBORO, N.Y. – According to New York State Police, a one-car accident Saturday afternoon on Interstate 684 killed both occupants of a 2010 Honda Civic.
The operator of the vehicle, a 70 year-old female from Queens, was pronounced dead on scene by Westchester EMS.
The passenger, a 57 year-old from Manhattan, was transported to Northern Westchester Hospital where she later was pronounced deceased by the medical staff, police said.
The vehicle was traveling north on I-684 at approximately 12:35 p.m. Saturday when, for unknown reasons, the operator veered out of the center lane, crossed into the slow lane and continued onto the shoulder into the grassy area of the highway, eventually striking a tree head on, police said.
The cause of the accident still is being investigated.

New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw is still dealing with his lingering foot injury and did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday. Even though Bradshaw has been able to play through this injury in his last three games, this is the same injury that held him out in Week 3. After 57 carries for 316 yards and two TDs in Weeks 5 and 6, Bradshaw only had 16 touches last week. Backup Andre Brown will be on-call, but only as a change-of-pace if Bradshaw is able to play.
Fantasy Analysis:
This is just the reality of owning Bradshaw in this game. The guy is a gamer and a certain leap of faith is required to not work yourself into a frenzy. If he can play, he will as he has done over the last three weeks. Owning Brown as a handcuff is definitely recommended since he's already proven he can succeed if given the opportunity. Given position scarcity and the high injury rate for RBs, hang onto Bradshaw. I'd rather have a questionable Bradshaw over a healthy option who I don't have much confidence in anyway. If Bradshaw plays, I trust him enough to start him.

You'd think, with the way Channel 13's news broadcasts tend to consistently have solid ratings, that the operation would get talked about more than it does. Channel 11 tends to get kudos for being a serious, relatively sober newscast, Channel 2 gets buzz with wild antics, and Fox and 39...don't generally get watched at all. But 13 gets its ratings because it has become comfort food to Houstonians, in a good way. Even as anchors change (although timeless Dave Ward stays on board), we keep watching because we know we'll get a wild Wayne Dolcefino investigation, good weather information and some of the most experienced street reporters in town. The glory days of Marvin Zindler and "Sliiiime in the ice machine!!" are but a rosy memory, but 13 still keeps pumping out a broadcast that deserves the viewers it gets.
When Hurricane Ike was destroying lives and property in Galveston, one man thought to himself, A-ha! I can use this! And that man was Jacob Calle, although he is probably better known as Hurricane Bear. That's because he donned a bear costume with a pink bowtie and moonwalked along a Galveston beach while TV news crews were surveying the damage. It got him on CNN and in The Wall Street Journal. He sold T-shirts from his Web site and made himself available for parties — but he also included a link to the Red Cross's Web site, so people could donate. It's an interesting idea, and we're eagerly awaiting the appearance of Hurricane Platypus.
Heading up the public-health department for the third-largest county in the U.S. is never going to be an easy task, but Harris County brings its own special challenges, like hurricanes and, this year, its seeming to be Ground Zero for the swine-flu pandemic/panic (take your pick). Herminia Palacio handles these duties with competence and class — during Ike, she and staff members were at TranStar headquarters full-time; during Katrina she supervised operations at the Dome, an experience she still is asked to lecture about to public-health organizations nationwide. And when the swine flu hit, she worked closely with cities and school districts in her jurisdiction to keep things a lot calmer than they might have been. She's loved by her staff, and she keeps them up-to-date by ensuring they have the opportunity to get the latest training. Handling public-health issues in Harris County demands a calm and capable leader; luckily, we have one.
The idea of "best cemetery" may sound a bit grim, but there's nothing gloomy about Glenwood. It's just as much of a tranquil park and beautiful place to visit as it is a spot to bury loved ones. Built in what was then rural Houston in 1871, Glenwood's graves sit nestled amongst some of the city's only lush, rolling hills, which lead down to Buffalo Bayou off of Washington Avenue. Visitors can slowly drive along the winding roads throughout the cemetery underneath cascading trees and get a glimpse of where local and international luminaries are interred. Such notables include DeWitt Harris, for whom Harris County is named, former Texas governor William Hobby, Hollywood actress Gene Tierney Lee and billionaire eccentric Howard Hughes.
What Houstonian isn't proud of this beautiful, expansive, multifaceted park? Located on a former military camp where soldiers trained for battle in World War I, the park is dedicated to those soldiers' honor. Today, the park has something for just about everyone — an 18-hole golf course, 2.93-mile jogging trail, mountain bike paths, tennis, soccer, baseball, croquet, volleyball and a playground for kids. There's even a fitness center, with daily or monthly memberships that won't hurt your wallet. Or you can just chill in the Picnic Loop and people-watch.
Okay, you've committed a crime. Quick, check your shirt: Is the collar white? If so, there's only one attorney in town to contact: Joel Androphy. You may have seen him on TV as a legal expert both locally and nationally, but ironically enough, a lot of his most important work goes unnoticed. He specializes in whistleblower lawsuits, and while those suits often bring bad-behaving corporations to heel — and give help to people brave enough to take them on — they are usually settled with confidentiality agreements that prevent media coverage. And they are civil cases, so even though he's mostly known from criminal stuff, Androphy easily qualifies as a top-rank civil attorney. Besides whistleblowers, he is an expert on all types of corporate crime; he's honest, tough and knows how to get things done. If you've stabbed your crack dealer because he shorted you two rocks, Androphy's probably not your man, but if you find yourself in a courtroom because of things that happened in a classier setting, he's who you need to see.

PHILADELPHIA – It was an early morning wake up for University of Pennsylvania cross country runners and coaches, as they departed from the university Thursday at 6:00 a.m. for the NCAA Division I Men's and Women's Cross Country Championships in Terre Haute, Ind. Hosted by Indiana State, sophomore Thomas Awad and freshman Cleo Whiting will represent Penn at championships and will compete at the LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course. The men's 10K is slated for noon, with the women's 6K following at 1:15 p.m.
For live results, click here.
For a live webcast, click here.
At the Mid-Atlantic Regional Championships last weekend, Awad was the first Ivy to cross the finish line and placed fifth overall with a time of 29:49. Whiting was also the first Quaker to cross the line and placed 23rd overall at 20:50. Both Quakers are competing at the cross country national championships for the first time, with Whiting being the first freshman in program history.
The Quakers will find themselves among each field comprised of 38 teams and 31 individuals, along with familiar faces from Villanova, Princeton, and Dartmouth.

Topic: Good News at last
My sister was diagnosed in November last year and has been on intensive chemotherapy Gemcis since December. Today for the first time she has had some results back following the treatment and we are so happy as it appears to be having an impact. The tumour marker appears to be going in the right direction i.e. down. Her pain has also been much improved of late. Two or three days after treatment she is very nauseous and tired but she has been tremendously strong and really deserves this positive result. Fingers crossed we keep going in this direction.
Good luck to all

Brevard, N.C. - Josh Roper overcame late free throw shooting woes to convert a pair from the charity stripe with 1.5 seconds left in the overtime period and Jon Hathcock's shot as time expired hit one of the Boshamer Gymnasium ceiling light fixtures as Brevard overcame a second half deficit to defeat the visiting Lenoir-Rhyne Bears on Saturday afternoon, 85-83.
Roper led all scorers with 31 points for the Tornados (7-3, 5-1 SAC), hitting nine of 15 shots from the field and 11 of 15 from the free throw line in recording his eighth career 30+ points game and third on the season. Josh Jordan recorded the first double-double of his career, scoring 12 points and pulling down a game-high 11 rebounds, and Gaither Hendrix added 17 points and Drew Schauss poured in 15 as the Tornados won their third consecutive SAC game.
Jeff Thomas led the Bears (2-11, 1-4 SAC) with 27 points, hitting five three-pointers, including one in overtime which tied the score up at 79, while Allan Jones recorded the double-double with 23 points and 10 rebounds. Hathcock added 13 points and three assists off the bench for Coach Lentz, while Kevin Davis scored 10 points, including five straight at the end of the second half to send the game into overtime.
Nine lead changes and two ties highlighted a first half which saw its largest lead at nine points as Jordan pulled down an offensive rebound and put it back up to put the Tornados up 25-16 with 7:38 on the clock. A Davis layup cut the lead back to seven, but Ryson Felder hit a pair of free throws at the 6:22 mark to put the lead back at nine at 27-18.
Lenoir-Rhyne chipped at the lead cutting it back to one on a 10-1 run sparked by five points from Bryce Harper, bringing the score back to 29-28 with 3:27 to play as Jones went in for the layup. The Bears took the lead at 32-31 after a jumper by Hathcock off the right elbow, but Roper connected on the final four points of the first half on a pair of jumpers to put Brevard up 35-32 at the half.
The Tornados advanced their lead to eight points early in the second half as Jordan pulled down another offensive rebound and put it in, giving Brevard the 43-35 lead with 17:22 left in the half. However, the Bears kept the game close, tying it up at 59 apiece on a free throw by Jones and taking their first lead of the second half as Thomas drained a free throw with 7:38 to play.
Lenoir-Rhyne held the Tornados scoreless for nearly three minutes in building a 67-59 lead off a 12-0 run, capped by another Hathcock jumper from the right elbow. Brevard would rally to knot the game back up at 70 as Jordan scored in the paint off the assist from Schauss with 3:28 to play and Brevard would go up by three off a back-door cut and layup by Schauss off the assist from Jordan, but Davis hit a three-pointer from the top of the key to tie the game up at 74.
Hendrix and Davis would exchange layups to tie the game up at 76, before an unusual series of events took place at the end of the second half.
A three-pointer by BC's Vincent Dombrowski hit the rim and bounced right, where it was pulled down by Thomas as time expired. However, as Thomas was collecting the ball, the Bears called a timeout and the officials placed 0.3 seconds back on the game clock and allowed Lenoir-Rhyne to inbound the ball. Nathaniel Shaw's full-court pass hit one of the light fixtures extending down from the Boshamer Gymnasium ceiling and was ruled out of play, so the Tornados received the ball with 0.3 seconds on the clock, underneath the L-R basket. The play went for naught as the entry pass to Roper was tipped and neither team could collect it as time expired.
In the overtime period, the Tornados struck first as Roper, after missing three consecutive free throws, hit the second half of a pair with 3:35 left on the clock to put Brevard up 77-76. Hendrix would drive in for a layup off the offensive rebound on the next BC possession, but Thomas equalized the score at 79 with a three-pointer from the top of the key.
The Bears tied the score up two more times in the second half as Thomas hit a jumper to put it at 81 and Hathcock hit a pair of free throws with five seconds left in the period to tie it up at 83, but Lenoir-Rhyne was unable to attain the lead in the extra period as Roper collected the inbounds pass and was tripped with 1.5 seconds left on the clock by Shaw. Roper connected on the first free throw and attempted to miss the second, but it hit the square and rattled in to put Brevard up 85-83 and Hathcock's final attempt court hit the light as time expired and the Tornados escaped the Bears in Boshamer.
Brevard takes to the road next week, playing their next two conference games at Lincoln Memorial and Wingate. Tipoff for the Brevard-LMU game on Wednesday, January 19th, is set for 8 p.m. at Tex Turner Arena in Harrogate, Tenn.

Audio / Video conversion
Here is a nice review of some of the applications that enables conversion and handling of these types of files. Some specific examples and suggestions are here.
FFMPEG video / audio conversion
FFMPEG is the swiss-army knife of video and audio format conversion. It succeeds when no other program can. It is free and open source. If it not yet installed on your system as part of another package (it is used by many video/audio editors), then install it:
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
- To convert many different formats, read the FFMPEG documentation. Also see this tutorial.
Example: To convert a saved Flash video (.flv) to an MPEG-2 format playable on a DVD, convert:
ffmpeg -i samplevideo.flv -target ntsc-dvd samplevideo.mpg
Then use K3b (or Gnomebaker) to write the mpg file to a New DVD Data Project.
- For PAL use -target pal-dvd. For widescreen, use -target film-dvd. For other conversion tips, see this forum. (Note: Most Flash video has very low resolution, with a screen size of 360x270, for example. You may see a slight diminishment in resolution if you wish to convert it to 720x480 (which is the NTSC standard size) or other screen size. You can keep the original screen size and resolution by omitting the -target parameter.) If your original file is 16:9 widescreen and you desire a 4:3 letterbox output for playing on an overscanned TV, you may need to pad the file so that the widescreen is not compressed (see this forum):
ffmpeg -i samplevideo.flv -target ntsc-dvd -s 648x364 -padleft 36 -padright 36 -padtop 58 -padbottom 58 samplevideo.mpg
- You can also use the WinFF GUI and add the command (as above) as a "Preset," for subsequent use. For example:
- Video converter (WinFF) -> Edit -> Presets ->
- Preset Name: Letterbox -> Preset Label: 16:9 Widescreen to 4:3 Letterbox
- Preset command: -target ntsc-dvd -s 648x364 -padleft 36 -padright 36 -padtop 58 -padbottom 58
- Ouput file extension: mpg -> Category: DVD
- -> Add/Update -> Save
- To convert to MPEG-4 (mp4) files, use
ffmpeg -i samplevideo.flv outputvideo.mp4
- FFMpeg requires that multiple restricted extra codecs be installed. This can be done in a single easy step from the command-line Terminal:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
WinFF is a free, GPL-licensed open source GUI frontend for FFMPEG. Install:
sudo apt-get install winff xterm
- Menu -> Applications -> Sound & Video -> WinFF
Join video segments
Individual video segments (MPEG-2, for example) can easily be joined:
cat samplevideo1.mpg samplevideo2.mpg samplevideo3.mpg > samplevideo123.mpg
- You can then write the resulting MPEG-2 file to a DVD and play it in most DVD players.
Split a file into segments
Any file can be split into segments using the Linux command:
split -b 1440k my_big_file
which will split my_big_file into equal segments of size 1440 kb.
Mencoder is part of the MPlayer set of libraries (that also uses several of the FFMPEG libraries) for audio/visual conversion. Some examples of usage are here.
Save any streaming Flash video
An easy way is to install the Video Download Helper plug-in for Firefox.
Otherwise, most Flash videos download to the /tmp directory while you watch the video, creating a randomly-named video file there (such as Flashuh4G6s). When you close the webpage, this file in the /tmp directory will be erased. After the entire video has downloaded, but before you close the webpage, copy that file (such as Flashuh4G6s) to your home directory (where it will not be erased). Of course, for this to work, you must change your Flash (or Gnash) settings to allow an unlimited buffer. While watching your Flash video, right click to bring up the Flash -> Settings window. Set the Buffer to "Unlimited."
Once you have copied the file, rename it appropriately with the .flv added to the filename. You can then watch it using VLC or Mplayer.
Here is another method that involves making a symbolic link.
Save rtmp / flv streams
flvstreamer is a command-line application to dump rtmp streams. Install:
sudo apt-get install flvstreamer
Example of usage:
flvstreamer -r "rtmp://host/dir/file.flv" -o filename.flv
If you see the following the "WARNING: Download may be incomplete, try --resume!" message, try to use the --resume option:
flvstreamer -r "rtmp://host/dir/file.flv" -o filename.flv --resume
Convert Flash video audio to mp3
Once you have downloaded flash video content (.flv) from the Internet (using the Video Download Helper plug-in for Firefox, for example), the audio component can be converted to an mp3 using this command (from the command line Terminal). (This will work for any type of video file, not just Flash.)
ffmpeg -i nameofvideoclip.flv -ab 160k -ac 2 -ar 44100 -vn nameoffile.mp3
where -i indicates the input, -ab indicates the bit rate (in this example 160kb/sec), -vn means no video ouput, -ac 2 means 2 channels, -ar 44100 indicates the sampling frequency. See FFMPEG docs for more info.
2ManDVD is a GUI utility for creating DVD videos. It is the successor of ManDVD. Choose the version for your architecture and install it from the 2ManDVD website. Click on the download link and select to open it with the GDebi Package Installer (default). (If you have previously installed ManDVD you must uninstall it first.) For a usage tutorial, read this 2ManDVD guide.
- Menu -> Applications -> Sound & Video -> 2ManDVD
DeVeDe is a program to create video DVDs and CDs suitable for home players (i.e. VCD, sVCD or CVD) from any source video file that is supported by MPlayer. Choose the version for your architecture and install it from the DeVeDe website. Click on the download link and select to open it with the GDebi Package Installer (default). For a usage tutorial, read this DeVeDe guide.
- Menu -> Applications -> Sound & Video -> DeVeDe
ManDVD is a QT-based DVD authoring tool which accepts several different file types as input. Install:
sudo apt-get install mandvd xine-ui
DVD Author
DVD author allows you to create menus and format your MPEG-2 videos onto a DVD disc so that you can play it in a commercial DVD player. DVD Author is a command line tool, but several GUI's exist. Install:
sudo apt-get install dvdauthor
QDVDAuthor is a Qt-based GUI for DVD Author. A package for Natty does not exist, but the Maverick package can be used.
- Enable the Maverick multiverse repository temporarily by adding it to the Synaptic Package Manager Origin of Packages ("Other" software):
- Menu -> System -> Synaptic -> Settings -> Edit Origins -> Software Sources: Other Software -> Add...
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu maverick multiverse
- From the Get and Remove Software menu (of Synaptic), install the qdvdauthor package (and the qdvdauthor-common package if it is not automatically installed as a dependency).
- Once the download/installation is complete, disable the Maverick multiverse repository (to prevent conflict with other Natty packages).
- Download and install the addons:
cd /tmp wget http://qdvdauthor.sourceforge.net/data/masks.tar.bz2 -O masks.tar.bz2 wget http://qdvdauthor.sourceforge.net/data/buttons.tar.bz2 -O buttons.tar.bz2 wget http://qdvdauthor.sourceforge.net/data/alpha_trans.tar.bz2 -O alpha_trans.tar.bz2 cd /usr/share/qdvdauthor/ sudo tar -xjf /tmp/masks.tar.bz2 sudo tar -xjf /tmp/buttons.tar.bz2 sudo tar -xjf /tmp/alpha_trans.tar.bz2
- Menu -> Multimedia -> QDVDAuthor
Follow instructions in the Quick-Start Guide:
- QDVDAuthor -> Help -> Quick-Start Guide
For a tutorial on authoring DVDs, see this guide.
ToVid is a collection of tools to create a DVD from a number of different video formats. A GUI is available. Install:
sudo apt-get install tovidgui tovid
Other DVD authoring programs
There are several other DVD authoring programs. For additional information see the Ubuntu Community pages. Packages include:
- Bombono, a GTK-based, GUI DVD authoring program. Install (requires multiverse repositories to be enabled):
sudo apt-get install bombono-dvd
- KMediaFactory is a KDE-based DVD authoring frontend for dvdauthor. (The DVD folders can then be burned to disc using K3b.) Install (requires multiverse repositories to be enabled):
sudo apt-get install kmediafactory
Ripper X CD Ripper/Encoder
Ripper X is a GTK-based (i.e. Gnome) open source utility to rip CD audio tracks to OGG, MP3, or FLAC formats. It supports CDDB lookups.
sudo apt-get install ripperx
Asunder CD Ripper/Encoder
Asunder is a GTK-based open source CD ripper/encoder which saves to Wav, MP3, OGG, FLAC, or WavPack. Self-installing .deb packages are available here.
Audex CD Ripper/Encoder
Audex is a port to KDE4 of the KAudioCreator package used in KDE 3. It can create output for LAME (MP3-compliant), OGG Vorbis (oggenc), FLAC and RIFF WAVE. Install:
sudo apt-get install audex
Gnac (GNome Audio Converter)
Gnac (GNome Audio Converter) converts between all GStreamer supported audio formats. It is not yet part of the standard repositories. See these installation instructions.
SOX (encodes/decodes audio)
SoX is a command-line utility to convert audio formats. See this usage guide. Install:
sudo apt-get install sox
Install MP3 support for SoX
- Install the MP3 libraries (if not already installed):
sudo apt-get install libmp3lame0
- For simple conversions, I have found FFMPEG to be easier, and FFMPEG already has mp3 support. Example:
ffmpeg -i audiofile.m4a -ab 128k -ac 2 -ar 44100 audiofile.mp3
- where -ab specifies the bit rate, -ac specifies the number of channels (in this example 2-channel stereo), and -ar specifies the sampling frequency.


text:
In this new paper, I argue that an overly burdensome U.S. regulatory state is partly responsible for the downward trend in domestic and foreign investment in U.S. factories, professional services operations, distribution centers, and research and development facilities. EPA mandates, Obamacare's costly, complicated new health care directives, and the slowly emerging financial services restrictions stemming from Dodd Frank, are just some of the new regulations that have thickened the Federal Register to more than 80,000 pages per year and added 16,500 new pages to the Code of Federal Regulations during the Obama presidency, undoubtedly deflecting and chasing investment and business creation to foreign shores.
Oddly, this massive expansion of federal rules has evolved as President Obama has simultaneously expressed concerns about the impacts of both declining investment and regulatory overkill on economic growth. In 2011, the president issued Executive Order 13563 under the heading "Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review." Section 1 states:
Our regulatory system must protect public health, welfare, safety, and our environment while promoting economic growth, innovation, competitiveness and job creation. It must be based on the best available science. It must allow for public participation and an open exchange of ideas. It must promote predictability and reduce uncertainty. It must identify and use the best, most innovative, and least burdensome tools for achieving regulatory ends. It must take into account benefits and costs, both quantitative and qualitative. It must ensure that regulations are accessible, consistent, written in plain language, and easy to understand. It must measure, and seek to improve, the actual results of regulatory requirements.
The president issued this EO in the wake of his party's mid-term election rebuke, perhaps to indicate that he understood the concerns of business. He even required that his agencies formulate plans for undertaking systematic, retrospective reviews of their rules and regulations with an eye toward making them less imposing on society:
Sec. 6. Retrospective Analyses of Existing Rules. (a) To facilitate the periodic review of existing significant regulations, agencies shall consider how best to promote retrospective analysis for rules that may be outmoded, ineffective, insufficient, or excessively burdensome, and to modify, streamline, expand, or repeal them in accordance with what has been learned…
In the words of a former chief economist at the Council of Economic Advisers:
The single greatest problem with the current system is that most regulations are subject to a cost-benefit analysis only in advance of their implementation. That is the point when the least is known and any analysis must rest on many unverifiable and potentially controversial assumptions.

In truth there is more and earlier evidence for the authority of the bishop of Rome than The Invention of Peter provides.
Well, we are going to pick back up, and the next time you see bishop there will be a major action happening.
Reports suggest bishop decided to get revenge before she departed.
And bishop, Colossus, Warpath, Blink, Sunspot, Quiksilver, Stryker and Havoc will all be there too.
When the bishop and most of his missionaries died, Livingstone reviled them for not taking "hygienic" precautions.
The bishop's Palace is close to the Wye, on the south side of the cathedral.
"You have come to work and fight for the peace," said the bishop.
On our way to the bishop, I asked the collector what that man was doing there.
And then I heard more words, for the bishop kept reading on.
After dinner I read the whole trial of bishop and Williams, and their confession.
Old English bisceop "bishop, high priest (Jewish or pagan)," from Late Latin episcopus, from Greek episkopos "watcher, overseer," a title for various government officials, later taken over in a Church sense, from epi- "over" (see epi-) + skopos "watcher," from skeptesthai "look at" (see scope (n.1)). Given a specific sense in the Church, but the word also was used in the New Testament as a descriptive title for elders, and continues as such in some non-hierarchical Christian sects.
A curious example of word-change, as effected by the genius of different tongues, is furnished by the English bishop and the French évêque. Both are from the same root, furnishing, perhaps the only example of two words from a common stem so modifying themselves in historical times as not to have a letter in common. (Of course many words from a far off Aryan stem are in the same condition.) The English strikes off the initial and terminal syllables, leaving only piscop, which the Saxon preference for the softer labial and hissing sounds modified into bishop. Évêque (formerly evesque) merely softens the p into v and drops the last syllable. [William S. Walsh, "Handy-Book of Literary Curiosities," Philadelphia, J.B. Lippincott, 1892]Late Latin episcopus in Spanish became obispo. Cognate with Old Saxon biscop, Old High German biscof. The chess piece (formerly archer, before that alfin) was so called from 1560s.
Bishop Bish·op (bĭsh'əp), J. Michael. Born 1936.
American microbiologist. He shared a 1989 Nobel Prize for discovering a sequence of genes that can cause cancer when mutated.
In some Christian churches, a person appointed to oversee a group of priests or ministers and their congregations. In the Anglican Communion, the Eastern Orthodox Church, and the Roman Catholic Church, bishops are considered the successors of the Twelve Apostles.

MINNESOTA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1935 SUBSCRIPTION $1.00 Per Year ; i_tS FROM ARODNI- OUR STATE MISTAKE RAILROAD TRACKS F0R- HIGHWAY Northome.—'Twas "three o' clock in the morning" for a party of Northome residents, but also almost the dawn, when their car wedged itself in the railroad ^tracks just outside of town. The local freight train had to stop quite suddenly. Evidently the dri\ er had made a mistake and turned too soon on leaving the highway, -while returning home from a dance. His car was wedged in between the tracks at the switch division. The occupants crnsidered themselves very lucky as one headlight remained on, giving warning to the engineer which bled him to pull up his train. Members of the train crew hei ped the occupants of the car get their machine off the track, and then proceeded blithely on tl way.

Considering the icy traveling: the splendid attendance at the November meeting of the PTA is very reassuring and shows a marked increase in the interest of the organization which isvery gratifying to the workers of the cause. The business meeting was followed by a program in keeping with Education week- Those in attendance we're privi- ledged to hear Mr. A. J.

Finding a likely hun ting ground, Bi.lv was instructed to remain in the car, parked out in the middle of the section, while the men hunted along a ditch and through a neighborin<- cornfield. An hour or so later when the men returned, to the car, Billy was gone. No great apprehension was felt until a search in the irrimediate vicinitv failed to locate him. Approaching dusk didn't relieve their worry. Inquiries at two farm homes brought no clue, and the men finally decided to drive into DonnelV. a short distance awav. to see if anvone there had seen Billv.

HIGHWAY WORKERS READY TO BATTLE WINTER'S STORMS In every corner of the state, the Minnesota highway denart- me'nt is "digging in" for its annual battle with winter's snow storms. More-than 1,100 miles of snow fence is practically all in place. More than 200 big V plows are being attached to the department's heavy duty trucks. Fifteen tractor plows and twenty one rotary plows are tuned up and ready to force their way through deep drifts. Piles of gravel— more than 10,000 cubic yards are in strage, tic locations waiting to be spread on icy pavements. For mixing with this there is more than 100 tons of calcium chloride which helps the gravel to imbed itself firmly in the ice and tnus o- vide traction for slipping tires. Maintenance workers of the highway department must keep more than 11,300 miles "»_ sta'c highways open. During storms snow plow crews work continuously, night and day, until the roads arc clear. the premises and they themsel ,ves did not have'a gun. Getting permission to hunt in an adjoining field, a flock of pheasants were flushed and Martinsongave them a .salute, crippling one in the legs. The bird made a bee line for the farmer's house, a quarte of a mile away, and fell exhausted inside the kitchen door. Some shot. Some placement!

On Wednesday afternoon Mrs. Olive Dahl, former postmaster of Pine River, gave a short talk on "Postal Service" to* the English II class. It is hoped that groups and individuals interested in the beautification of property fronting trunk highways will avail themselves readilly of the services offered by the roadside development division of the State Highway department. As pointed out by commissioner Elsberg, Minnesota as a a great tourist state has a stake in the attractive appearance of its roadsides to visitors. The highways are the vestibules and avenues of approach to our cities and recreational regions. Accordingly they should appear at their best advantage at all times. Tourists have time and again been struck by the incongruity of such eyesores as ugly billboards and unkempt and dilapidated hot dog stands anl gasoline stations along the highways traversing regions of natural scenic beauty. For est hetic reasons a road should "tie in" with the landscape through which it runs and forsafety reasons there should be as few signs as possible along the way to distract the attention of the motorist from his driving. Trees, shrubs and flowers rather than junk piles and ash- heaps are the proper roadside emellishment for Minnesota hi- ways. Those who are interested in futhering such beautification have a helpful ally in the roadside development division of the State Highway Department.— St Paul Dispatch U. S. AUTO TAXES 30 PER CENT LESS REBEKAH MEMBERS VISIT BRAIN'D LODGE REYNOLD MARTINI PLACES FIRST AT LIVESTOCK SHOW Monday evening, Mesdames Lewis Walton, Arvid Lundin, Ernest Robideau, Ollie Dahl, and Alice Amy motored to Brainerd, where they visited the Brainerd" Rebekah Lodge. Mrs. Walton made this her official visit there as District President. Mrs. Cora Deiter, of Rochester, Minn., Assembly President, and Past Assembly officers, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Haymaker of Motley, Minn., were speakers of the evening. The members report a very instrutive meeting besides a very pleasant social time. The Minnesota motorist pays nearly thirty per cent les5 in motor vehick taxes and license fees than the average American automobile owner, according to a tabulation by the American Association of State Highway Officials, received by the Minnesota Highway Department. Considering license fees and gas taxes alone, four states have a lower average charge to the motorist than Minnesota. Two of these four, however, assess personal property taxes on automobiles which brings their total taxation of the motorist higher than the Minnesota figures. Thus in total average automobile taxation, 45 states are higher than Minnesota and only two, Kansas and North Dakota are lower.

In proportion to the number of vehicles on the roads, more accidents happen at this season than any other part of the year. and consequently greater caution is required of drivers, said J.

"Fog and poor visibility, frost, sleet, icy spots and slippery wet leaves, test the motorist's judgement," Summer speeds cannot be maintained when winter conditions begin. Every fall when the first sleet and ice form on the pavements, scores of motorists skid into ditches and are hauled out for the hospitals and morgues because they drive too fast. "Slow down," be sure your brakes lights and other safety devices are in good condition. Check the motor exhaust to see that carbon monoxide gas cannot leak into the body of the car, A little of this gas may numb the senses just enough to slowup the body's re-actions to road dangers. In old cars especially, il is wise to leave a window slightly open. Above all, when roads are treacherous, SLOW DOWN! ' COKATO BOY DISCOVERS NEW FUEL GAS AT MAC. Harold Ohlgren, son of the Co- kato veterinarian, and William Mahle, St Paul, seniors at Mac- alister college, after months ot experimenting, feel that they have developed a method whereby a gas can be produced from clover. The boys say the gas could be produced cheaply and used economically. The overhead in manufacture is little and it produces carbon as a by-product. The carbon can be turned back into the manufacture by using it as fuel. It would be possible to produce 2,500,000,000 cubic feet of the gaseous hydrocarbon from three thousand acres of clover.—Annandale Advocate.

PHILADELPHIA - Through raffle, t-shirt and ticket sales, the University of Pennsylvania women's basketball team raised another $2,000 towards the fight against breast cancer with their annual Pink Zone game held on Feb. 12.
In total, the Pink Zone initiative raised $2,010 with the help of a season-high attendance mark. All of those proceeds will be donated to Penn's Rena Rowan Breast Center at the Abramson Cancer Center.
The Rena Rowan Breast Center is a division of the Abramson Cancer Center located on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania. Inspired by fashion designer and businesswoman Rena Rowan, the center is designed to provide quality attention and treatment to breast cancer patients.
With the addition of Penn's Charge for a Cure initiative, the Quakers raised $3,012 dollars during the month of February to aid the fight against breast cancer.
The Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) started "Pink Zone" in a unified effort to assist in raising breast cancer awareness. The initiative, formerly known as "Think Pink," began in 2007 with more than 120 schools unified in its efforts.
For more information on the WBCA's PinkZone, visit www.wbca.org/pinkzone.asp.
The Quakers defeated Columbia, 60-40, that night to secure the program's first 10-win season since 2006-07 and set a school record with the largest one-year turnaround in program history.
Penn wraps up its 2010-11 campaign with three home games in five days. The Quakers take on second-place Harvard on Friday, Dartmouth on Senior Night Saturday and first-place Princeton on Tuesday, March 8. The first two games tip at 7 p.m., the season finale is the first of a doubleheader with the men's teams. Those with tickets to the men's game at 7:30 p.m., also receive free admission to the Penn-Princeton women's game at 4:30 p.m.

NORTHFIELD, IL -- An arbitrator ruled that Starbucks must pay Kraft Foods Group more than $2.7 billion for its early termination of the packaged coffee contract between the two companies.
In March 2011, Starbucks announced that it was ending a long-term contract inked in 1998 with Kraft that allowed Kraft to sell bagged Starbucks coffee in grocery stores. | SEE STORY
Starbucks claimed Kraft mismanaged the brand and had breached the contract. Kraft denied the Seattle coffee giant's charges and demanded that Starbucks pay it a fair value for the business, which reportedly brought in annual revenues of about $500 million for Kraft.
The restitution includes $2.23 billion in damages plus $527 million in prejudgment interest and attorney's fees. The award will go to Mondelez International, which spun off Kraft Foods in 2012.

Use your favorite potato kugel recipe (mine is below) but instead of making it in a large pan, pour into regular muffin cups. Bake until browned and remove from pans. Makes a very elegant presentation.
10 potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 onion, chopped
4 eggs
¼ cup canola oil
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Pour oil into the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan (or well-greased muffin cups if doing the individual). Grate potatoes and onions and squeeze out liquid. Mix with eggs, salt and pepper. Stir in hot oil to make sure it all covered. Bake for about 1-1/2 hours until top is brown and crunchy (less for muffins).

Topic: Metastatic Cholangiocarcinoma
Hi- I am wondering if anyone has any information on how long it takes for this cancer to develop and metastasize. I lost my Dad early in January of this year. He was diagnosed in late October of last year. He had no symptoms of this illness. It was discovered when he presented with leg pain, and by then he had severe mets to the bone and could only receive palliative treatment. We are trying to put together the pieces, and although the answer does not change the outcome, I would like to have an idea how long my Dad may have had this in his body.
Thank you,
Missing you

An astronomer at Zion National Park will be on hand through Oct. 18 to show visitors the night sky and a close-up look at the sun.
Scott Spence, a volunteer representative of the Colorado Plateau Dark Sky Cooperative, will host informal day and night viewing sessions at various locations throughout the park. Those interested in attending should inquire about the programs at the Zion Visitor Center and Zion Human History Museum during their visit, according to park officials.
During his stay, Spence also will conduct a lighting inventory of park buildings to help Zion protect its dark skies from light pollution.
"Night sky friendly outdoor lighting is more efficient, results in improved visibility and safety, and reduces energy costs. It also benefits nocturnal animals and helps maintain wildlife corridors and ecosystem health," said Zion spokeswoman Aly Baltrus in a statement.
The Colorado Plateau Dark Sky Cooperative is a "geographic region where public lands, tribes, communities, businesses, schools, clubs, and citizens join to support a set of principles resulting in mutual benefits and the long term conservation of our starry night heritage," according to the cooperative.
Spence will host a presentation at the Canyon Community Center in Springdale Tueday at 8 p.m., followed by a telescope viewing party.

James Ransone stopped a rapist Monday night when he heard muffled cries for help and quickly rushed out of his apartment to find a man assaulting his neighbor with his penis hanging out. Dressed in pajamas and armed with a metal bar, James scared the guy off, eventually chasing him down and beating him a few times.
"There was something in her voice," he relates. So he grabbed a broomstick which he later dropped for a metal bar, called 911 and ran downstairs "in my pajama bottoms – no shoes, no socks and no shirt," Ransone says.
He got to the vestibule in the nick of time. "There was this Hispanic guy in a blue sweatshirt choking my neighbor and pulling his [sex organ] out," he told Page Six's Lisa Marsh. "I pictured my mom, my girlfriend and every girl I've ever loved and thought, 'Vengeance is mine.' "
"I looked north and south and saw him running," Ransone recalls. As he ran after the attacker, he passed a friend walking his dog and called for him to join in the chase. "I screamed, 'Follow me! This girl almost got raped!' "
Ransone caught up with the assailant as he entered a building on Allen Street. He broke a glass door to get at the perp and then cracked him on the back with the metal bar.
"I said, 'You rapist piece of [bleep]' and heard a crack when I hit his shoulder blade," Ransone says. "He mimed taking out a gun and said, 'Do you want to go to jail?' – and made a bee-line for the door.
"I cried, 'I'm not done with you yet' and kept swinging," Ransone says. Then the cops arrived and the attacker disappeared into the building. An arrest is expected soon.
It's stories like this that remind me not all celebrities live in their own fantasy world. For every Britney Spears and Sharon Stone, there's a James Ransone who chases down criminals and excessively beats them with metal bars.

NEWLY promoted Basingstoke and North Hants CC face a tough start to their first-ever campaign in Southern League Division One when they travel to Sarisbury Athletic on Saturday.
Their Hampshire rivals finished second last season after winning Division One in 2012 and are expected to be one of the favourites for the title this time around.
The Bountymen won the Division Two crown in their inaugural season in the Southern League and have a new captain this season in opening batsman Chris Froud.
He has taken over from Dan Coombs, who was expected to still be in Australia during the summer, but has returned to further bolster the May's Bounty team.
This means everyone from last season's championship winning side will be available for the season opener.
After missing last year due to injury, opening bowler Jon Bradley is back for 2014, which will add even more bite to their attack.
Another excellent addition to the line-up is the club's first overseas player in a number of years, South African all-rounder Andrew Niblett.
He has just turned 37 and played first class cricket in New Zealand for Central Districts.
Last season, he helped Yateley to the Thames Valley League Division 2A title and Guy Jewell Cup at May's Bounty.
So this will leave the selection committee with a nice headache and Froud admits this season is a journey into the unknown.
Froud said: "Everyone is looking forward to the season and on paper we look a stronger team, but at this stage have set ourselves no targets. We know very little about most of the teams we are going to face."
He added: "There is certainly going to be competition for places, which is going to be a good thing for both the first and second team."
Basingstoke's second XI start their Southern League Division Three campaign with a home game against St Cross Syms II at May's Bounty on Saturday.

I did not watch the live streaming of the red carpet (living in a very different time zone and all) but I did wake up extra early to check out these photos before I leave to study. I am very impressed with this year, and I think the Prada/Schiaparelli influence got to our leading ladies, making them choose their dresses wisely, with a fashion head on their shoulders (unlike last year).
A quick summary: the ladies in Prada are my best dressed (Carey Mulligan, Kate Bosworth, Gwyneth Paltrow) and the ladies in Givenchy by Riccarco Tisci are a close second (Gisele Bundchen, Rooney Mara). My big surprise is Candice Swanepoel in Rag & Bone - I wasn't sure the boys had a Met Ball gown in them, but they did and it is gorgeous.
Lana Del Ray, who wore Altuzarra, could have lost the cape. And a usual favorite combo, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in Burberry, could have had her hair down - as her high bun looks a bit too uptight.
However, I did have to look hard to find these little critiques. Overall, this was such a beautiful red carpet.
Now, if only I could get to NYC to see this exhibit... Who will be going?

University makes significant jump in Kiplinger's ranking
The University of South Carolina jumped 28 spots to rank No. 32 among the nation's public universities that "deliver strong academics at affordable prices" for in-state students, according to Kiplinger's 2009 – 10 "Best Values in Public Colleges."
The ranking appears in the February issue of Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine. In 2008 – 09, the university was No. 60 among 500 public universities that the magazine measures annually for academic quality and affordability.
Kiplinger's ranks Carolina No. 58 for out-of-state student value – a jump from No. 73 among public universities in 2008 – 09.
Academic quality measures used by Kiplinger's include SAT or ACT scores, admission and retention rates, student-faculty ratios, and four- and six-year graduation rates, which most schools reported for the class entering in 2002. The magazine also ranks public universities on cost and financial aid.
Scott Verzyl, associate vice president for enrollment management at Carolina, said that Kiplinger's rankings are based largely on objective data, in contrast to U.S.News & World Report, which relies on substantially subjective criteria.
"This underscores the value component of an education at the University of South Carolina," Verzyl said. "A high-quality education at an affordable price is increasingly important for college students and their families.
"At the University of South Carolina, we have worked to hold the line on costs without sacrificing excellence and the student experience," he said. "This ranking is good news, particularly in light of these economically challenging times that are confronting all of higher education."
The magazine singled out the public universities in its rankings for their ability to maintain academic quality and affordability during the recession: "The schools in our top 100 best values in public colleges and universities … continue to deliver strong academics at reasonable prices, in many cases by offering the same or more financial aid as in previous years."
The University of South Carolina is the top-ranked public institution in the Palmetto State and is third among universities in the Southeastern Conference, trailing only the University of Florida (2) and the University of Georgia (6). It leads fellow SEC members Louisiana State University (47), University of Arkansas (55), University of Tennessee (58), Auburn University (63), University of Alabama (65) and Mississippi State University (88).
Carolina also is ranked ahead of a number of major research universities, including Pennsylvania State University (40), Purdue University (46), Rutgers University (48) and Michigan State University (51).
Kiplinger's ranking is among several recent accolades earned by the University of South Carolina. U.S. News ranked the Darla Moore School of Business' undergraduate program in international business No. 1 in the nation in the 2010 "America's Best Colleges Guide." The guide also placed Carolina's First-Year Experience and Learning Communities among the best in the nation.

In the Arab World, the most solemn week in the Christian calendar was matched by the sobriety of celebrations snatched during political upheaval and bloodshed.
With revolutions getting bloodier, religion has taken a backseat, somewhat sidelined, for Arabs during this political turmoil, only remembered as a battle cry or appeal for preservation of life.
Nevertheless, Easter time for the Christian Arab communities, who are often minorities at home, has been a reprieve from the suffering in the region this year: taking time out to recall the suffering of Christ, amidst suffering at home today. Taking a break from images of Gaddafi's butchery and Saleh's slaughter, Christian Arabs marked the Holy week culminating in Easter Sunday, 24th 2011.
However, in some regions that particularly peaked in unrest during this holy week, celebrations have had to be 'foresaken' somewhat for current needs on the ground during this emergency period.
