What's inside Google's barge? US officials forced to sign confidentiality agreements
Related topics
How badly does Google want to keep under wraps a mysterious project taking shape on a barge in San Francisco Bay? Badly enough to require some US government officials to sign confidentiality agreements.
At least one coastguard employee has had to sign a non-disclosure agreement with the internet giant, said Barry Bena, a US coastguard spokesman. Another person who would only identify himself as an inspector for a California government agency had to do the same.
Moored in the shadow of the Bay Bridge off Treasure Island, a former military base, the nondescript barge is stacked several storeys high with white shipping containers, and sprouts what appear to be antennas on top. The hulking structure, half shrouded in scaffolding, has stirred intense speculation in the Bay Area since reports of its existence surfaced late last week.
Technology website CNET theorised it might be a floating data centre that would house banks of computers. Local TV station KPIX said the barge was intended to serve as a floating retail store for Google's "Glass" wearable computer device.
Adding to the mystery, a second similar barge was recently spotted in Portland, in the US state of Maine. Both are reported to be registered to the same firm, By and Large. The company refused even to acknowledge its affiliation with the vessels.
Secrecy is a standard business practice in Silicon Valley, where technology companies such as Apple go to great lengths to keep their latest gadgets under wraps and a constellation of blogs compete to reveal highly prized details. But the concealment effort surrounding the barge is in another league. Chain-link fences and security guards encircle a pier and a couple of nearby buildings on the island, which sits between the cities of San Francisco and Oakland.
A California state inspector said he had to surrender his mobile phone and sign a confidentiality agreement in order to enter.
Bob Jessup, a construction company superintendent who works in a building across the street, said Google had spent the past year working on the project.
He said they fenced off a wide area and brought in at least 40 welders a day, who worked around the clock and refused to say a word.
"They wouldn't give up any of the information. It was a phenomenal production. None of them would tell us anything."
He said they worked on the inside and the outside of the shipping containers, outfitting them with electronics - "very hush hush" - and then loaded them onto the barge with a crane.
Larry Goldzband, executive director of the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission, said his agency had had several meetings with Google officials about the barge in recent months. Yet the company provided little information other than telling him that the vessel would be used for "general technology purposes", he said.
Google "could not give us a specific plan of any kind", Goldzband said.

Editor's Note: July is Ice Cream Month on Serious Eats: New York! To celebrate, we're spotlighting a scoop we love every day.
We love just about everything at Parm, but their towering ice cream cake leaves a special impression. It's basically the Carvel cake of your dreams: three ice cream layers, rich chocolate cookie crumbles in between, and sprinkles with a candy-red cherry on top. Except of course that the ice cream that goes into said cake is some mighty flavorful gelato.
For a limited time (so get there soon), you can find this S'Mores ice cream cake ($11) on the menu. It's a s'more de- and reconstructed, with separate layers of graham cracker, chocolate, and toasted marshmallow gelato. There's something of a brain melt that happens when you eat a frozen dessert that tastes so much like something else entirely. Close your eyes, ignore the temperature differential, and yes, it's like eating a s'more, but even better, because it's also cake. And even better than that because this ice cream is dense and rich but not at all heavy. The chocolate is mellow and milky but plenty bold, and the toasted marshmallow layer will ruin you for marshmallows—frozen, brûléed, or otherwise—anywhere else.

Last year, Google teamed up with adidas, Polar and Withings to invite developers to create Android apps using Google Fit, an open platform that can be used to build fitness apps and keep a user's fitness data all in one place. Google Fit requires a user's consent before apps can read or store fitness data. According to Google, Google Fit provides a single set of APIs to store and access data from apps and sensors in Android devices and wearables. The invitation was met with great enthusiasm by a bevy of developers who accepted the challenge.
In April 2015, Google announced the 12 grand prize winners, each of whom received the X_CELL and SPEED_CELL from adidas, a new Android Wear device, a Loop activity tracker with a H7 heart rate sensor from Polar, and a Smart Body Analyzer from Withings. The apps range from a variety of fitness trackers to training and inspirational apps. This slideshow features the 12 grand prize winning apps.

John L. Smith named head coach at Fort Lewis College
DURANGO, Colo. (GoSkyhawks.com) - John L. Smith, a longtime NCAA Division I head coach with success at six different universities — will become head football coach at Fort Lewis College effective March 1, Skyhawk Director of Athletics Gary Hunter announced today.
Defensive coordinator Ed Rifilato will continue to oversee day-to-day operations until Smith arrives on campus.
Smith has coached at Idaho (1989-94), Utah State (1995-97), Louisville (1998-2002), Michigan State (2003-06), Weber State (during the 2011-12 offseason) and, most recently, Arkansas (2012). In 19 seasons as a head coach, his teams have compiled a 136-94 record (.591) and advanced to seven bowl games. Smith's teams have won six conference championships, including Big Sky titles at Idaho (1989, 1992), Big West crowns at Utah State (1996, 1997) and Conference USA trophies at Louisville (2000, 2001).
Smith was chosen as the Big Ten Coach of the Year at Michigan State in 2003.
"We are extremely fortunate to have a coach with the tremendous background and experience that John L. brings to Fort Lewis College," said Hunter.
The second-year FLC athletic director said the hiring proves the college's commitment to fielding a successful football program, both on and off the field.
"Fort Lewis College is making a commitment to football," said Hunter. "Many of our other programs have reached the pinnacle of success at the national and regional levels. We want our football alumni and fans to have the opportunity to enjoy that same success."
Hunter said that Smith is a proven winner, not just on the gridiron, but in terms of the academic success of his student-athletes.
"Not only has Coach Smith had outstanding success on the field, but he has always stressed the importance of academics and community and campus involvement," said Hunter. "President Dene Kay Thomas was instrumental in assisting us set up an academic advising and support unit at the University of Idaho when she was associate dean there, and developed a close working relationship with John L. That was a key in getting him to Fort Lewis College."
The new Skyhawk skipper — the 12th head football coach in FLC history — agreed with Hunter.
"I first looked at Fort Lewis College because of two people: Dene Thomas — who I think the world of and is the best person ever that I could work for — and Gary Hunter, who was my first athletic director at Idaho and is a true friend," said Smith. "I know the two of them are going to do everything possible to make FLC football as good as we can make it."
"I am thrilled!" said President Thomas. "John L. and I had a good working relationship at UI, cooperating on selection and advising of the student-athletes. I am very excited to have John L. here at FLC. He is a great coach and a good friend."
Smith, who has more than 40 years of NCAA Division I coaching experience including assistant coaching stints at Weber State (1971), Montana (1972-76), Nevada (1977-81), Idaho (1982-85), Wyoming (1986), Washington State (1987-88) and Arkansas (2009-11), welcomed the opportunity to get back to his coaching roots at Fort Lewis.
"I'm very excited to actually coach for the real reasons you get into coaching — to make a difference in the kids' lives and help them get an education," he said. "At this point in my career, to get back and coach for the real reasons … not to get somebody to the NFL, but to coach kids who want to play the game and get an education. I'm just thankful that they've provided me the opportunity to do this."
Smith sees many challenges in turning around a program that went 0-10 in 2012 and has six straight losing seasons. In fact, in 50 years as a four-year college, Fort Lewis has posted winning records just 10 times.
"To me, it's a situation where we're going to have to work hard to try and get the excitement up, get the program going in the right direction, win some games and graduate our kids," he said.
Returning to the Rocky Mountains was also important to Smith, who is an avid outdoorsman. "I'm looking forward to it and my wife is looking forward to it," he said. "Getting back to the mountains is very important to me. Every year after having moved (east), you have to go and find your mountain fix."
Smith has climbed the 19,340-foot Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa, run with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain, para-glided in Switzerland, flown a T-38 Talon jet trainer in Texas and skydived in Indiana.
Smith will also be reunited with Rifilato, one of his former players and assistant coaches at Fort Lewis.
"He's one of my all-time greatest player/friends," said Smith. "We've kept in touch on a weekly or monthly basis in all of our years."
"He's a great player's coach," said Rifilato, who played for Smith in 1983 and 1984 at the University of Idaho, earning the Vandals' Defensive MVP award. Rifilato was also the director of football operations under Smith at Louisville in 2002.
Smith replaces Cesar Rivas-Sandoval as head coach of the Skyhawks. Rivas-Sandoval announced his resignation as head coach a week ago. Past FLC head coaches include Rivas-Sandoval (2010-12, 6-25), Rifilato (2004-09, 22-41), Todd Throckmorton (2000-03, 11-33), Todd Wash (1996-99, 11-31), Dave Preszler (1994-95, 6-15), Kevin Donnalley (1992-93, 2-18), Sheldon Keresey (1988-91, 6-32), Bill Cooke (1984-87, 20-16-1), Gary Barnett (1982-83, 8-11-1), Jay McNitt (1971-81, 46-56-1) and Lou Cullen (1963-70, 20-49).
Three other men served brief stints as head coach or interim head coach, but accepted other assignments prior to coaching a game at Fort Lewis: Casey "Gus" Bradley and Robert Prince between the 1995 and '96 seasons and Johnny Cox between the 1999 and 2000 seasons. All three of those coaches have enjoyed lengthy careers in the NFL, with Bradley currently serving as defensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks.
Smith graduated from Weber State in 1971 with a bachelor's degree in physical education. He played quarterback and linebacker for the Wildcats from 1967-70 before joining their staff as a graduate assistant for the 1971 season. He received his master's degree in physical education from Montana in 1974.
A native of Idaho Falls, Idaho, Smith married the former Diana Flora on August 15, 1970. They have three children: Nicholas, Kayse and Sam. Smith is also the uncle of San Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith.
"We truly believe that John L. and Diana Smith will be a perfect fit for the Fort Lewis College family and Durango community," said Hunter.

The human body is made up of millions of cells that vary in shape, size and function. In healthy tissues, new cells are created during cell division, a process called mitosis. When cells become old, they "self-destruct" and die, a process called apoptosis.
A delicate balance must exist between the rate at which new cells are created and the rate at which old cells die. Cancer develops when the balance is disrupted and cells grow out of control.
Chemotherapy is a type of treatment that uses strong medicines to stop the growth of cancer cells.
Chemotherapy can be administered in several ways:
Once the drugs enter the body, they destroy cancer cells by preventing them from growing or multiplying during mitosis.
Depending on the stage of a patient's cancer, chemotherapy can be used to cure cancer, stop cancer from spreading, or relieve cancer symptoms. It can be used alone, or in combination with other therapies, such as with surgery or radiation.
Unfortunately, chemotherapy also harms healthy cells, especially cells that divide quickly. These include cells in the hair, blood, bone marrow, and reproductive organs.
Harm to healthy cells is what causes side effects. Some side effects may include hair loss, nausea and vomiting, fatigue, suppression of the immune system, and anemia.
This medical animation illustrates how cancer cells develop in the body and the role of chemotherapy in treating cancer. The video also reviews side effects of chemotherapy.

TELL CITY - Tell City hit only 6 of 42 shots from two-point range as it lost to North Posey 57-53 in a battle of PAC girls basketball contenders Saturday.
The Marksmen shot well from farther out, hitting 9 of 13 from three-point range and 14 of 19 free throws.
But their lack of inside offense against the tall Vikings hurt.
The Marksmen led 43-41 after three quarters but "we didn't move the ball very well in the fourth quarter against their 2-2-1 half-court trap," said Tell City Coach John Lyons.

If you have minds and eyes, prepare to have them boggled. The opening 3D scenes in The House of Magic, a French-Luxembourgian digimation feature English-dubbed and set in a fantasised Boston, are the best in recent memory. Up close, immersive, funny-thrilling. The cat's-eye view does it. We are road-level with the skittering kitten hero (thrice nearly run over), then branch-level (vertiginous white-knuckle tree climb), then floorboard-level as "Thunder", the feline in flight, takes upstairs refuge in the gothic home of a magician. The house is infested with semi-domestic critters – dog, rabbit, mice – plus toys and gizmos. Those are alive and ambulant. Cue more visual hazard and bombardment.
Some critics have sniffed: "It's not Toy Story." Perhaps not. Nor is Edward Lear Lewis Carroll. Doesn't mean we shouldn't spend time with him. The few points I docked in the film's first half hour for cuteness or cliché – the kitty's goo-goo eyes, a chihuahua dubbed with a jive-ass Afro voice from Hollywood's hackneyed-hilarity bin (who says racism is dead at Central Comedy Casting?) – are restored with dividend by the multiplying grace notes. The seedy avuncular rabbit, a mournful cockney accent issuing between buck teeth, is a joy. So are the planned "accidents" visited on house-viewers by the toys and pets, Home Alone style, when they are left minding the mansion by a hospitalised master who has handed power of attorney to his evil nephew.
Even the throwaway gags and cameo roles are inspired. An ancien régime Rolleiflex camera toddles about with top hat and stick. A bellboy-hatted bubblegum machine smokes when angry. A recumbent mouse works out by doing lifts with the snap bar of a mousetrap. Moral for the moviegoer? Never look away. You don't want to be too busy saying to yourself "This isn't Toy Story" to be alert to the moments when it is no less just to say, "Toy Story isn't this."

Every year around this time, the color experts (which I would think were a weird title, if my own title were not "handbag blogger") at Pantone get together and inform the world of the color we'll be wearing in the next 12 months, as the result of some trend forecasting and also Pantone's desire to remind people who are not graphic designers that it exists. The 2014 Pantone Color of the Year shall be a pink-purple known as Radiant Orchid, and it looks like a bunch of handbag designers figured it out before last week's announcement.
With relatively little effort, we found over a dozen designer bags of various price points and brands that either hit "Radiant Orchid" right on the nose or get particularly close. It's a nice shade; vibrant, but not aggressively bright, feminine but not too sweet. It can tip toward inexpensive-looking at times, but we think the bags below all pull it off with aplomb.

Malware is a widespread concern that costs consumers more than $2 billion and compromises millions of personal computers annually. It's a threat that evolves as quickly as our measures to remedy it.
Hackers crack your passwords. Scammers dupe you into clicking malicious links. But those aren't the only — or even most common — ways your computer can be infected. The fact is, the software you use every day is likely out of date, leaving it vulnerable to security breaches. Unpatched software is one of the most popular ways for malware to gain entry to your PC.
Reacting to Threats Isn't Enough
The customary way to deal with a threat is to rely on an antivirus program to identify infections. You regularly scan your machine and quarantine and eradicate any viruses that are uncovered. Some malware will inevitably squeeze through even the tightest security, so scans are an important part of any defense. But traditional antivirus programs also have some unfortunate drawbacks.
You know the drill: set your program to "scan" and find something else to do for the next 30-120 minutes. You'll breathe a sigh of relief when your computer is scrubbed clean, but in the meantime you're completely tied up.
Even when you're not actively removing malware, traditional antivirus programs can suck up your time and resources, with intrusive pop-up warnings and bloated code that slow down both you and your computer. Isn't reducing interruptions to your productivity the whole point of battling malware?
The Path to Prevention
If you really want to slam the door on malware, you need to move from a reactive to a preventative approach. Start by making these best practices habit:
- Install a good antivirus product with a firewall.
- Limit the number of Administrator accounts.
- Keep your laptops and mobile devices physically secure.
- Delete any unsolicited emails (especially those containing attachments or links) without opening them.
- Be wary of an email requesting personal information such as a password or social security number.
- Always use strong passwords, and never share them.
- Don't click on random links.
- Don't download unfamiliar software off the internet.
- Don't propagate virus hoaxes or chain mail.
- Log out of or lock your computer.
- Be cautious when allowing remote access to your computer.
- Frequently back up important documents and files.
- Deploy encryption whenever it is available.
- Take a training course in computer security.
- Lastly, and most importantly, always keep your software up to date!
Patching the Vulnerabilities
Even if you follow all of the other above practices to the letter, if you aren't patching the holes in your software, you're leaving your PC wide open to infection. A typical unpatched machine is exposed to 30-50 new security vulnerabilities each month.
Major companies like Google, Apple, Microsoft, Firefox, and others recognize thousands of vulnerabilities each year and release patches to update them. These updates are released on different schedules, in different quantities. Seeking out and downloading updates from each vendor individually is a time-consuming routine that just isn't practical for most people. Thankfully, there's another way.
The Solution: Set It and Forget It
Ideally, you'd be able to seal up your system entirely, keeping your computer clean and secure without interrupting your workflow.
Vipre 2013 from GFI is the first and only software with Easy Update: a program that can find, download, and install security patches automatically as soon as they're available, keeping you up-to-date at all times. As an established, trusted antivirus vendor, GFI's Vipre also detects and destroys known malware and keeps you protected from phishing sites, harmful downloads, suspicious links, and the rest of the sinister cyber elements.
Designed with efficiency in the forefront of its functionality, Vipre performs thorough scans with a small footprint – scrubbing your system clean without ever bogging it down. It also knows which actions to take and when. After an initial setup, Vipre will run silently in the background, only notifying you in extreme circumstances where your action is required.
Malware is a pervasive threat, and your defense requires vigilance and adaptability. Vipre with Easy Update offers both prevention and protection, as part of the "set it and forget it" solution. Comprehensive security is finally available with a fresh generation of antivirus protection; a fully automated system that eliminates vulnerabilities, installs peace of mind, and always has your back.

PROVIDENCE – A new shared-savings agreement between Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island and physicians' group University Medicine will boost health care quality and slow rising costs, the two organizations announced Wednesday.
The three-year agreement aims to emphasize primary care doctors, reduce excessive hospitalizations and enhance the patient experience and care.
Among the main components are expanded nighttime and weekend hours at University Medicine, a new health advocate to help patients understand the healthcare system, stronger coordination with behavioral health providers, and an expansion of a patient-centered medical home program to include specialists in a new model of health care.
The insurance company "is committed to aligning incentives that place the patient's needs at the center, provide the highest quality care, and improve the overall financial health of the system," Peter Andruszkiewicz, president and CEO, said in a statement. "By partnering with organizations like University Medicine, real change is possible."

Pathways of Hope strives to help families in need
Since 1975, Pathways of Hope has worked to end hunger and homelessness in Orange County through a variety of services ranging from prevention and intervention to after-care support services. We aim, through a faith-based community effort of prevention and support services, to build self-sufficiency and to end homelessness and hunger for families and individuals in need.
Pathways has served the homeless and low-income community for the past 37 years through a food-distribution and rental-assistance program. It also has offered a transitional-living program for homeless families with children since 1986 and for adults since 2002. We operate roughly 5 percent of the 2,000 transitional beds in Orange County.
Since our first years, Pathways has expanded services beyond Fullerton to become a significant provider of social services to needy persons in all of Orange County. In July 2012, Pathways assumed operation of a 10-unit apartment-style transitional housing facility in Anaheim, formerly operated by Anaheim Interfaith Shelter, almost doubling our capacity to serve homeless families.
The 16-person staff understands what it means to struggle to survive, and they offer hope and compassion to our clients. Roughly 250 annual volunteers log in more than 11,000 hours performing support tasks.
Our PATHS AHEAD Program addresses needs that were identified by this community in the recent Fullerton Task Force on Homeless and Mental Health. The program includes wrap-around services for homeless people, with the ultimate goal being permanent housing and transitioning away from government assistance.
Born out of the Fullerton Interfaith Ministerial Association, Pathways of Hope brings people together from a wide diversity of backgrounds, traditions and experiences.
Pathways recently completed its Holiday Community Program, where almost 800 Fullerton families received toys, gift cards, food and books through a collaborative effort with the Assistance League, the Fullerton school district and PTAs and many local congregations, businesses and community groups.
We are pleased to announce a new location for our upcoming annual fundraising event, "Food Loving Guys." It will be March 23 at the new Fullerton Community Center and will feature creations from 25 amateur chefs.
More information can be found at pathwaysofhope.us. To volunteer, contact email@example.com.
– Barb Jennings is the board president of Pathways of Hope.

Day 4 - Sun, sand and seafood
Trip Start

Trip End
Nov 06, 2012
Nha Trang is a different world from Ho Chi Minh! We came here at 5:15 in the morning and I was just so happy to see no traffic lol Dave lives in Nha Trang and he booked a private beach for us! I felt like a celebrity :) The beach was called Bandai beach and was lovely and clean with no vendors. We had barbequed seafood and noodles for lunch and enjoyed the lovely weather!
After lunch I attempted surfing for the first time...and the board hit the left side of my face hard after the 5th try...I got a cut and swollen lip (no tooth damage I checked carefully...yay!) but everything is fine now. Maybe I'll wait till proper lessons next time lol!
This evening we are going for dinner with the group, dave's wife and kids (which are so cute) somewhere in town followed by a beach party :D.
The plan for tomorrow is a boat trip and snorkelling so will keep you posted! Xx

PETER FISCHETTI: Purple ribbons recall girl who died in hot car
1. Never leave a child alone in or around a vehicle.
2. Make sure all children leave the vehicle when you reach your destination, particularly when loading and unloading.
3. With sleeping infants, place a reminder of your child's presence where you'll be sure to see it before leaving the vehicle (for example, a diaper bag next to your briefcase or a baby blanket under your lunch.)
4. Never leave a child in a vehicle with the motor running or the key in the ignition.
5. Keep car keys away from children.
6. Always lock your car, even when at home, and remind friends and neighbors to do the same.
7. Teach children not to play in, on or around cars.
Prevent Child Abuse Riverside County will make purple ribbons available at the following locations:
Independence Bank: Sixth and Main streets in Corona, from 9 to 10 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 2
Applebee's restaurant: 521 N. McKinley St., Corona, from 3:30 to 4 p.m. Sunday
Corona Chamber of Commerce: 904 E. Sixth St., Corona, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday
Riverside Police Department: Call 951-826-5674 for locations.
On Wednesday evening as I drove home from work, I did what I always do when I'm in the car by myself. I thought about my next column, which happens to be this one.
It's about Kaitlyn's Law, named in honor of Corona's Kaitlyn Russell, who died in August 2000 at the age of 6 months after she was left unattended for hours in a sweltering car as her temperature rose to 107 degrees.
The state law prohibits leaving a child younger than 6 in a vehicle without the supervision of someone who is at least 12 years old.
The next morning I was to attend an event at the Eagle Glen community in south Corona, where county and city officials would speak about the tragedy that still lives with the Russell family and how it should never have happened.
Meanwhile I'm on the 91, listening to John and Ken on KFI-AM complain about the Department of Water and Power in Los Angeles. A few minutes later, the news comes on.
The lead story is about a 3-year-old boy who died three hours earlier after becoming trapped in a car parked in the driveway of his home in Sylmar. He had climbed into the family car and was unable to get out. The temperature there was in the mid-90s.
This is madness, I decided.
My mind wandered as I sat with others outside the Eagle Glen Golf Course clubhouse in the morning, listening to one public official after another speak earnestly and occasionally eloquently about Kaitlyn's Law.
Paint the Town Purple was the theme of the event, hosted by Prevent Child Abuse Riverside County, a nonprofit community service organization. Event coordinator Tami Alexander introduced the speakers, which included Corona Mayor Karen Spiegel, Corona Police Capt. Tom Weeks, Deputy Fire Chief David Duffy, CHP Capt. Amanda Snowden and Mike Hestrin, recently elected as the new Riverside County D.A.
For a while I listened and took notes, as any good reporter would, but each said pretty much the same thing: This is madness.
Spiegel noted how Laura Petersen, Kaitlyn's grandmother petitioned for legislation "so her tragic death wouldn't be in vain."
Weeks recalled, "I was there that day."
He stressed the importance of taking action if a child is seen locked in a car.
"It costs $300 to replace a window. I'll pay for it personally."
Hestrin explained that violators of Kaitlyn's Law – often parents – are already suffering from their actions. But he added, "We don't get to pick and choose what to prosecute. This cannot be tolerated."

Hello! I'm trying to achieve [this](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y159/devisi0n/Screenshot2012-12-06at115110AM.png "this") a liquid container div with a zig-zag border on the top and bottom with a drop shadow!
I'm familiar with creating an [arrow div](http://css-tricks.com/triangle-with-shadow/ "arrow div") with a shadow and a [zig-zag background](http://lea.verou.me/css3patterns/#zig-zag "zig-zag background"), unfortunately the former method can't be repeatable and the latter method can't have a drop shadow applied to it and with both methods it can't be guaranteed that the edge's of the first and last triangle align flush with the containing box.
How best should I approach this?
Pretty sure that whatever method you use a drop-shadow is going to be difficult…at least until the drop-shadow filter is fully supported.
Best as I can figure right now is a background image but that's not going to help with the alignment of the triangle thing you want.
This reply has been reported for inappropriate content.
Thanks, I think I'm going to have to settle for a background image on a div.
Following up, is it possible to only apply a drop shadow to the left and right sides of a div container?
If you mean a box-shadow then yes but you have to use two….one to the left and one to the right.
You are going to get a little bleed on the top and bottom though
Yeah, unfortunately I see that.
I just created an image for the zig-zags on the top and bottom and for the middle a 1-pixel tall background image that spans the width of the div container:
#container { min-height:461px; background-image: url("../images/wrapper-shadow.png"); background-repeat: repeat-y; }

Third problem, maybe bitstream is the wrong word. What I mean is, if i have FLAC or AAC or something, VLC should obviously decode because receiver cant. But if its DTS-HD or DTS or DD or some other format that my receiver CAN decode, I'd rather send that full on datastream directly to the receiver. I believe right now it is impossible with VLC to do HDMI pass-through, though I think with commercial applications you can do it. I know XBMC can do it, but I dont want to start up XBMC every time just to watch a quick video while eating.
FLAC or AAC is 2-channel audio, there is really nothing to decode.
Not sure why when your playing an audio file using VLC, the audio will not go thru the HDMI connection.

LAC-MEGANTIC, Quebec — Canadian police on Monday struggled to find the remains of people killed when a driverless crude oil train derailed and blew up in a small Quebec town over the weekend as questions grew over how the disaster had occurred.
The five locomotives and 72 oil cars had been parked about 8 miles from Lac-Megantic on Friday night. The brakes then somehow released and the train gathered pace as it rolled down a hill into the center of the town early Saturday morning.
It derailed and exploded into a gigantic fireball, flattening dozens of buildings and killing five people. Another 40 are missing and few residents hold out hope that they will be found alive.
Police said they had been unable to examine much of the town center overnight because the area was still too dangerous. Dozens of tanker wagons, some of them destroyed, are lying at the accident site.
"It's an area that is still extremely risky… The fire service decided they could not allow us to go there for security reasons. We'll see what we can do today," police spokesman Benoit Richard told reporters on Monday.
One of the destroyed buildings was a music bar popular with young people.
Lac-Megantic, a lakeside town of 6,000 ringed by forests of pine and birch, is in the predominantly French-speaking province of Quebec, close to the border with Maine and Vermont. About 2,000 people were evacuated.
None of the dead have been identified. Two of the badly burned bodies recovered so far have been sent to Montreal for identification and the other three were to be taken there later on Monday, the coroner's office said.
Canada's Transportation Safety Board, which is probing the disaster, has retrieved the train's black box data recorder and a separate device that contains details of the braking system.
The train — operated by the Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway — had been parked at Nantes, 8 miles west of Lac-Megantic, late Friday night.
Company chairman Ed Burkhardt said the engineer had shut down four of the five locomotive units on the train, a standard procedure, before heading to Lac-Megantic to sleep.
Somehow, he told the Toronto Star, the fifth locomotive was also shut down.
"If the operating locomotive is shut down, there's nothing left to keep the brakes charged up, and the brake pressure will drop finally to the point where they can't be held in place any longer," Burkhardt said.
Montreal Maine & Atlantic is one of many North American railroads that have vastly stepped up shipments of crude oil as pipelines from North Dakota and from Canada's oil-producing areas fill to capacity, and the accident is bound to raise concern about the practice.
Adding to the mystery is the fact that after the train was parked on Friday night, a part of it caught fire. Local firefighters were called to put out the blaze.
It was not clear if the actions of the firemen could be linked to the derailment.
In Nantes, a shopkeeper who would not give her name said locals were often irritated by trains being parked while still running their engines but said she had never heard of any cases in the town of vandalism on the tracks.
"This, for our small community, is an accident like 9/11," she told Reuters.

This was to be the end of the line for Italian word-setting by Viennese composers: once the confident sentiments that belonged to the poet Metastasio's opera seria felt the chill and threatening wind of Enlightenment and Revolution, their time was up. Even we, for the most part, prefer to remember the German-speaking Beethoven, Schubert and Haydn. So it is good to be reminded of their responses to the Italian muse (usually as part of their craft-learning student work) in this particularly well-cast recital. Central Europe, in the person of Andras Schiff meets Italy, in Cecilia Bartoli, to delightful, often revelatory effect.
The Italian mezzo-soprano Cecilia Bartoli is one of the most charming and talented singers to appear on the scene in recent years, and this collection of Italian songs by three great opera composers–Bellini, Donizetti, and Rossini–is a most deserving bestseller. There are many small pleasures in the selections, which reflect the bel canto predilections of their authors, and Bartoli renders them artfully. Some will be familiar even to casual listeners (Rossini's La Danza, the famous tarantella); others will be new to most, but equally deserving of a hearing. The sensitive and skillful accompaniment is by conductor-pianist James Levine.
In collaboration with Giovanni Antonini, Riccardo Minasi and Maurizio Biondi, Cecilia Bartoli restores the sound and spirit of Norma in a landmark Decca recording based on the opera's original sources. Cecilia Bartoli leads a fabulous cast in Decca's groundbreaking new recording, which presents Vincenzo Bellini's Norma in a form that is complete with the exquisite mix of vocal and instrumental colours that Bellini intended for his 'tragic opera'.
In the early 1990s Daniel Barenboim recorded the three Da Ponte operas with the Berlin Philharmonic. The BPO had played "Figaro" and "Don Giovanni" many times, but this was the first time that the group had ever tackled "Cosi fan tutte." Perhaps that is why they sound so fresh and energized under the thoughtful baton of Barenboim. Mozart's operas are usually performed with a small chamber or opera house orchestra, but this time the score of "Cosi" (which has so many beautiful, subtle touches, and is almost a celebration of beauty itself) is given the full treatment of perhaps the greatest orchestra in the world. While the resulting sound is somewhat "bigger" and more "lush" than is usual, Barenboim does manage to keep things appropriately light and "classical," just as he has so successfully done in the piano concertos which he is recording with the BPO.
Gioacchino Rossini wrote two kinds of comic opera. First there was the manic, almost farcial "opera buffa" (eg. THE BARBER OF SEVILLE). Then there was a kind of serio-comedy akin to the "dramma giocoso" of Mozart. IL TURCO IN ITALIA (1816) definitely falls in the latter category (as does LA CENERENTOLA). This little-known opera is a real gem. It is about a Muslim prince (Selim, sung by Michele Pertusi in fine voice) from Turkey and the comedy and conflict that ensue when he visits Italy. A clash of cultures ensues as the polygamous Selim tries to steal Don Geronio's young wife, Fiorilla (mezzo-soprano Cecilia Bartoli, singing a role written for soprano)…
Rossini composed comic operas of the bel canto repertoire, which were very popular in the first half of the 19th century. Rossini's music was sparkling, inventive, Mozartian, and the vocal lines of his operas were showcases for tenors and sopranos of the day. Rossini popularized comedy in opera. It was his Barber Of Seville that began a tradition that is still strong to this very day. In the first half of the 19th century, tenor Manuel Garcia and his daughters, both of them acclaimed mezzo sopranos, delivered masterful performances of Rossini's operas…
By Rachel Garret
Rossini's unusual scoring of the drama calls for three tenor supporting roles – here sung to universal acclaim by long-standing Bartoli collaborators John Osborn and Javier Camarena and newcomer Edgardo Rocha. Bartoli's dramatic command and vocal presence dominate the stage and reveal her artistry to be entering a rich new stage of development.

Talk to your kids about…
The Lone Ranger
The original Lone Ranger was a radio show started at station WXYZ in 1933. The show's inventors, George Trendle and Fran Striker, created a code of conduct, sometimes referred to as the Lone Ranger Creed, to guide the writers of Lone Ranger stories. How well do you feel this version adheres to this creed?
Do you think it's appropriate to market toys to children that are connected to a movie of this nature? What other films with adult themes have had similar marketing campaigns?
How do you feel about the casting of a non-aboriginal as a Native American character? What stereotypical depictions are used in the portrayal of different ethnicities within this film? How might this affect the way audiences view these groups?

Over the past 30 years, the organization has grown through the consistent efforts of the volunteers in the community and the caring donors who provided the funding to allow us to open our Veterinary Clinic and Adoption Center at 455 Cheney Highway in Titusville. This facility performed over 5,000 spays/neuters during our 2008 fiscal year while adopting out nearly 800 animals from our no-kill shelter. Additionally, we made our clinic available to the Space Coast Feline Network on six Sundays throughout the year allowing them to spay/neuter nearly 400 feral cats.
Our future goals include improving our animal care capabilities through better diagnostic equipment for our veterinarians and improving the physical space for animal care through expansions or additions to our existing facilities. Our new adoption center at 6035 Sisson road has a great atmosphere for our animals and our adopters. Our Thrift Stores on US 1 in Titusville and SR 3 in Merritt Island provide sources of revenue that help us to maintain adoption and clinic pricing at the lowest possible levels. Thanks to our generous donors and volunteers, the Thrift Stores continue to operate profitably and that profit is used to assist in funding the Adoption Center and Clinic.

Trouble with your homeowners association? How to fight back Joe Ducey , Courtney Holmes 6:35 AM, Feb 10, 2014 7:45 PM, Feb 10, 2014 alerts | money Share Article Previous Next Experts say proof, patience the key. KNXV Steps that give you the best chance to win KNXV KNXV Copyright 2014 Scripps Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed. Show Caption Hide Caption Previous Next PHOENIX - Homeowners associations are supposed to protect your property value and maintain the common areas of a community. But many of you have let me know that some HOAs are out of control and you feel like you just can't win. Not true. With a little patience and the right proof, you can fight your HOA and win. Kathleen Daurio of Mesa sure did. Her horror story started after she says her HOA repeatedly sent her meaningless citations. She requested financial documents to see where all her money was going. "I mean, they bought laundry detergent and almonds and vodka and baby wipes and, just about every time, they bought air fresheners!" Daurio said. The purchases totaled $38,000, and receipts showed that all of these purchases were reimbursed - with HOA money - to the board president. Daurio said she could find none of these items were used by the HOA for the benefit of the condominiums. Eventually, Daurio and her neighbors had to go to court to begin the process of removing the board. But hopefully you won't have to go that far. Where to begin First of all, if there's a fine -- pay it. I know it sounds backwards, but not paying only gives them reason to tack on a lot of outrageous charges, and eventually, attorneys' fees. Get very familiar with your HOA Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs). They are the neighborhood rules. I can guarantee the board knows them -- and so should you. Once you know the rules you can work on changing them. Start talking to your neighbors. Chances are, if you've received a bogus notice so have they. Remember there's power in numbers and you will need their support to change bylaws and get rid of board members. And be honest, when's the last time you attended an HOA meeting? Well you need to start -- and not just when you are having a problem. Make regular appearances, because you need to know who the board is and how they operate. In extreme cases, you may want to consider legal action -- but before you do, make sure that there has been an actual violation of the CC&Rs or state law. Many HOAs have a law firm on retainer and will charge you for every second of their time if you lose. Instead of going to court, consider filing a complaint through the state's HOA dispute process . The program is run by the Arizona Department of Fire, Building and Life Safety and the agency determines if an HOA violated CC&Rs or state law. There's a big filing fee, but it's a lot cheaper than hiring a lawyer. HOAs exist to work for the good of the neighborhood, but they largely govern themselves. And sometimes it takes a few nosey neighbors to keep them honest.

In about the sixth week of this season, Valley's football team emerged as one of the top story lines in the WPIAL.
The once-proud but recently dormant Vikings entered the season riding a 22-game losing streak -- with their last win coming Oct. 3, 2009 -- and were coming off consecutive winless seasons. Behind new coach Chad Walsh, the team was able to rally to a surprising 6-3 record and an appearance in the Class AA playoffs, creating an inspiring turnaround story.
Beaver, however, wanted to make it a tale with an abrupt final chapter.
Even with a tumultuous and bizarre start to the third quarter that saw Valley score touchdowns on consecutive fumble recoveries, the Bobcats scored a 28-14 victory in the first round of the Class AA playoffs Friday at Pat Tarquinio Field.
Statistically, it was a game Beaver dominated throughout.
The Bobcats (9-1) more than doubled the Vikings (6-4) in total yards, 285-139, as well as first downs, 18-10. Yet, for a brief sequence in the third quarter, none of it mattered, as what once looked like a comfortable Beaver lead disintegrated in seconds.
Entering the second half with a 13-0 lead, one it achieved with touchdowns from running backs Anthony Keriotis and Anthony Fidurski in the second quarter, the Bobcats were forced to punt on their first possession of the second half. However, the snap was high and through the hands of the punter, and after rolling forward with several players trying to recover it, the ball ended up in the hands of Valley's Demetrius Houser in the end zone for a touchdown that put the Vikings within six points.
On the ensuing kickoff, Beaver took the ball upfield near the 25-yard line, but Valley forced another fumble, one which was picked up by the Vikings' Kevin Frame and returned for a touchdown. Improbably, a team that trailed by almost two touchdowns a minute earlier led, 14-13, two minutes into the second half.
"I told our kids that that was the worst 30 seconds of my life and I really think that's true," Beaver coach Jeff Beltz said.
Beaver responded, though, with an out-of-the-ordinary moment of its own. After recovering a fumble and returning it 60 yards to the Valley 20, Beaver quarterback Aaron Ross pitched the ball to running back Jordan Yates, who ran sideways, hesitated for a second, and threw a pass to backup quarterback Alex Rowse, who hauled it in for a touchdown to give the Bobcats, after a two-point conversion, a 21-14 lead with 5:49 remaining in the third quarter.
A series of possessions later, Beaver gave itself some much-needed breathing room in the fourth quarter with a 75-yard drive that ended with a 15-yard touchdown run from Keriotis to extend the lead to 28-14.
Despite the loss, Walsh praised his team. "What we were able to accomplish this year, I'm just proud of those kids," he said.
