Two men were arrested on burglary and larceny charges following two break-ins on Wednesday.
Two men were arrested on burglary and larceny charges following two break-ins on Wednesday.
Tevin Marquez Thomas, 19, of 43 Thurgood Marshall Road, Spartanburg, and Monquez Levon Fowler, 24, of 155 Venus St., Inman, were charged with two counts each of grand larceny and second-degree burglary, according to online jail records. Thomas was also charged with possession of a stolen pistol and unlawful carrying of a pistol.
According to an incident report, officers responded to a burglary on Winfield Drive. A neighbor told police that a small, light-colored SUV was seen backed up under the carport and that a man kicked in the back door.
Two flatscreen TVs, a video game system and other electronics were taken from the home, the report states.
Another burglary was reported on Talmadge Drive. The resident told police that a microwave, camera, air rifle and a TV were missing from the home, the incident report states.
Later on Wednesday, police stopped a vehicle matching the description given by the witness on South Pine Street, Capt. Art Littlejohn said in a written statement. The Officers located items from the burglaries in the vehicle, Littlejohn said.
Thomas and Fowler remained at the Spartanburg County Detention Facility Thursday. Thomas' bond was set at $35,000; Fowler's was $30,000.

I can not afford $70+ per month plans. I currently have an LG Optimus V on Virgin Mobile. I was grandfathered in to their $25/mo plan (its now $35) for 300 minutes/mo, unlimited data (throttled at 2.5 GB), and unlimited texts. Its about time for an upgrade…
Virgin Mobile recently announced that with any new smartphone purchase for a smartphone released in May 2012 and beyond you will lose your grandfathered plan and have to use one of their new plan prices. ($35 for 300 min / $45 for 1200 min / $55 for unlimted) all of those have unlimited data (throttled at 2.5 GB) and unlimited texts. Well they just announced a new phone coming 5/31, the HTC EVO V for $299 (which is the HTC EVO 3D) and it will use Sprint's WIMAX for 4G speeds (I know its not as fast as LTE)…but this is big news for most prepaid people who are still on 3G.
Another option that I am considering is Republic Wireless, they are currently in beta, but will be announcing new phones and opening up their service to more beta users this summer. I am currently on their list to join their beta service. Repulic Wireless offers unlimited data, voice, and texts for $19/mo…what!?!?. The catch is they want you to use as much WIFI as possible and have WIFI calling built into their phone. Not sure what they do if someone abuses their service and is rarely using wifi…but that wouldn't be me. I am a pretty light user at work, and have wifi at home. Currently they only have the LG Optimus S (same as my LG Optimus V), but they are scheduled to announce new phones soon before they open up their beta to more users. They sent a surve to all their prospective customers to find out what phone they might be interested in and listed these 3 phone options (without giving the specific phone models):
`$199 up front fee that includes your phone plus your first month of service, new manufacturer, with a 3.5" touchscreen, 600 MHz processor, 0.5 GB storage, 5 megapixel camera.
`$299 up front fee that includes your phone plus your first month of service, well-known manufacturer, 3.7" touchscreen, 1.0 GHz processor, 1.0 GB storage, 5 megapixel rear camera, VGA-quality front-facing camera.
`$499 up front fee that includes your phone plus your first month of service, well-known manufacturer, 4.3" touchscreen, 1.2 GHz dual core processor, 8.0 GB storage, 7 megapixel rear camera
So the $499 option is basically the same as the HTC EVO 3D specs. $499 is pretty expensive, but then your are only paying $19/mo, and these specs from Republic are just in a survey, nothing official has been announced, so maybe they decide they can sell that phone for $399 instead.
So these are the 2 options that I am considering that seem to best for me, here is how they break down:
Virgin Republic
Phone 299 499
Price/mo 35 19
Total 1 yr 719 727
Total 2 yrs 1139 955
Minutes 300 unlimited
Data 4G 3G
I am leaning towards the Republic Wireless option, it is cheaper in just a little over a year, I won't have to worry about going over my 300 minutes (I do some months and pay 10 cents per minute, but not enough to move up to the next plan). I don't really know what I am missing with 4G speeds, so maybe that won't be a big deal…
What do you think? Is anyone considering these options?
There is another significan option, but its not for me. T-Mobile has a $30/mo prepaid plan with 100 minutes, umlimited texts, and unlimited data (with first 5GB at 4G speed). That is a nice option, but I would go over the minutes every month. I have read some people use this option with VOIP over the 4G using GrooveIP or another VOIP option, but I have not had much luck trying to do GrooveIP with my Optimus on wifi, so I am skeptical of that option (kind of funny because I am considering using Republic which is based on using wifi).

I prefer printed versions despite the multitude of books taking over my room~ I have resorted to digital versions of some series because either they have been dropped by the distributor, they are out of print, or I just can't find a printed copy of them.
I'm still mad at Viz for droppng Gintama and at Tokyopop for not finishing several series i can't find online...
I prefer print so that I can collect them, however being a college student I can't always afford to do that so I usually do digital.
Print versions. I love collecting them!
From a recent study in Japan by goo research:
"Q1: Do you read manga on a PC, smartphone, other electronic device? (Sample size=459)
Yes, almost every day 6.8%
Yes, sometimes 25.5%
No, never 67.8%
Q1SQ: On what kinds of electronic devices do you read manga? (Sample size=148, multiple answer)
Smartphone 45.9%
Tablet 23.0%
Feature phone 10.1%
Other 4.7%
I have no preference really lol Print manga holds a special place in my heart but being able to read manga online is awesome bc I'm expose to sooo many different kinds and new titles I haven't heard of xD
Price is much loower for digital manga, but I've actually never tried buying it before. It sounds interesting.
I have to go a lot farther to get printed manga and it costs more than digital I see but I think I still prefer taking the book out whenever I want. I don't have many manga volumes yet due to the price though. I'd like to try a digital one day out of curiosity
Print, but sometime digital
I perfer print, but if a awesome manga is legally available for digital only, then I will support it. Besides a lot of legal tiltles are just not worth $10 (Blue Exorcist for example).
Personally I would get printed manga because that's my collecting style but at the same time if I found a volume I really really liked I probably would buy a digital copy as well so I could have it on my phone or something and always have it with me and not have to worry about damaging my print copy
If you have something interesting to say leave a note, I may even pay attention
Digital Manga all the way! Paper manga wastes a lot of paper and costs an enormous amount of money to be printed. In the end most printed mangas are thrown away and not even recycled I'm particularly referring to shonen jump in japan. So, why not digital manga? Digital manga has a better fine quality to it then paper manga because it isn't printed. So, stop sticking to the old ways and start catching up to the present and future because whats in store for us is only digital manga that we'll be able to view on our iPods, iPads, Computers, and Smartphones anytime and anywhere.
Digital manga offers much more versatility... But as a collector, I quite like to have real books too. For keeping up with weekly manga, I'll use digital means. Orr... I would, if SJ:A wasn't limited to the states.
Then I'd collect my favorates in there book form >w< It makes the most sense to me that way. I do the same with novels too, after all.
I prefer the print version, but due to cost and lack of decent stores selling more that the big ones, I stick mostly with my iPad 2 and the Mangastorm app ($3 full version) and I also use Manga Rock app. (also $3) The quality is good enough, and there are thousands of series.

dude that is illegal streaming not that is bad kuz that i how i read hungry joker........... but anyway i prefferd printed manga
WaS WhIt It
A couple months ago I would have said print. Then I got a Kindle Fire HD with a 9 inch screen...bought a volume of One Piece on Viz site, and havn't looked back. Digital is cheaper, looks great on a tablet screen, and you can take it ALL with you wherever you go.
Not being able to line it up all pretty on a shelf is definitely something I'll miss...but I was gonna have to buy a new shelf very soon anyway if I bought a few more volumes...so I'm saving some money there as well.
When you say digital manga and mean the type using computer art, it kind of matters the format and art...they're usually different
If you mean online manga scans, those are usually ok......kind of matters the actually manga...
For physical manga.....fans will buy the manga even if they already have it available to them in the digital world
Gen'ei Taiyou is great in the end...

New Infrastructures in Newly Established "Lake Arpi" National Park
The Minister of Nature Protection participated to the ceremony as well as the deputy head of Shirak province, the representative of KfW regional office, representatives of the Ministry of Nature protection, local governmental authorities, representatives of international organizations, communities, NGOs, and other stakeholders.
The ceremony started from the newly constructed visitor center building of "Lake Arpi" National Park located in Ghazanchi Community, Shirak Province. The center is also a branch of State Museum of Nature of the Republic of Armenia. Information posters on flora and fauna as well as on touristic trails are presented in the VC. "Starting from historical monuments, natural monuments to biodiversity, everything associated with Shirak Province that could be interesting to visitors is available here" mentioned Ruzanna Zubaburyan, the deputy director of the State Museum of Nature.
The event continued in the newly constructed headquarters of the national park, a guesthouse, garages and a guardhouse located in Berdashen community. And at the end of the ceremony the tree-planting was organized in the area of the headquarters building.
"Lake Arpi" national park was established within the project "Establishment of protected areas in the Armenia's Javakhq (Ashotsk) region", implemented by the Ministry of Nature Protection of Armenia and World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and financed by the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany (BMZ) through KfW.
The program aims to conserve Armenia's Shirak Plateau biodiversity and to promote sustainable community development in Shirak Province through the establishment of "Lake Arpi" National Park and the implementation of the community development programs in the support zone.
In the framework of this project "Lake Arpi Beekeepers Association" has been established to promote beekeeping in this area. There have been established community development and educational centers in Sizavet, Garnarich and Berdashen communities and a Tourism Center in Mets Sepasar (this center is going to be operated by the community).
During the event Karen Manvelyan, the director of WWF Armenia, said that the project is a unique because it is the first transboundary national park which borders with Javakheti national park from Georgian part in the Caucasus as well as it was the first time in Armenia when the park was planned due to active involvement of local communities and other stakeholders. Still there are some activities to be implemented within the project. These activities are mainly connected with rehabilitation of potable water system in 12 communities, improvement of livestock breeding and some other projects in the support zone communities of the National Park.

Fit is dead on. Material is light weight but good looking. Would have given it 5's but the cutout for the dash wide defrost vent did not have the edges sewn so it required some extra velcro to make it lay flat. Looks very nice when finished. Definately thumbs up!

Xiaoming asked me to be a guest on her blog as she explores her ancestry. Because her mother recently had a DNA test done, she asked me to talk about DNA and how it relates to family research.
DNA in many ways is marketed today as the fast shortcut to discovering your ancestry. What isn't emphasized in the marketing is that it rarely gives you complete answers, especially if you haven't done traditional research to correlate with the DNA results. It will give you genetic information, but may not tell you about your entire
Say that, like Xiaoming, you were told that you had a
great-great-grandfather on your mother's side who was Jewish. Then your mother has a DNA test, and it shows half Chinese and half Japanese ancestry. Oh, well, it looks like the family story was wrong — no Jewish ancestry here. I guess there's no reason to continue researching that, right?
Now let's hypothesize (and this is purely for illustration; I have no
idea if this was the situation in Xiaoming's family) that a Jewish man
had married a Chinese woman, and her sister had a son and died soon
afterward. The Jewish man and his wife take the baby and raise him as
their own child. Eventually this child grows up to become the
great-grandfather of Xiaoming. That would make the Jewish man her
great-great-grandfather, but not genetically, so no Jewish ancestry
shows up in the DNA testing. But is he any less part of the family?
Obviously, DNA is a valuable tool in researching family history. But
it is only one tool among many, and test results should be looked at
in conjunction with other information to gain a more complete picture
of the family.

People often think of summer as the prime time to be outdoors with your dogs. The weather is warm and there's countless activities to do together, such as playing at the beach and walking around the many outdoor festivals that happen during that time of year. For those reasons I've been sad to say goodbye to summer, but the crisp cool air and colorful leaves remind me that autumn in the North East has it's own benefits.
Last weekend I went on a beautiful waterfall hike to enjoy the fall foliage with my Border Collie, Scuttle. Afterwards we stopped at a dog friendly Oktoberfest event on the way home to enjoy bratwurst and beer (only bratwurst for Scuttle, although I saw a Miniature Poodle sneak a sip of an open beer!). The weekend activities made me think that autumn is one of the best times to spend time with outdoors with your pets. It's not too hot and not too cold, many beaches open up after Labor Day for off leash play, and hiking trails are less crowded.
I'm hoping that our next adventure will be apple and pumpkin picking at one of the many local orchards that welcome dogs. One of them even lets the pups on the hay rides! Not all farms allow pets, so if you're looking to do some apple picking, call ahead to verify that you can bring your dog.
Do you have any fall adventures planned with your canine crew?

Team thoughts on continuous improvement 31
WTP 3.1 Debriefing 07/09/2009
Following our WTP 3.1 release, we had short post mortem to discuss possible ways our project might improve. This starts with a list of things we like and don't like about how the release went, and will evolve into action items with people assigned to be responsible, where appropriate.
Below are the notes from our 7/9/2009 status meeting.
Things we've done well
Policy and practice of firm deadline for weekly I-build with same-day declare.
Regular, consistent weekly (Thursday) is build good, even if actual delivery following Tuesday.
Some long standing performance bugs finally addressed (in XML Editing and related).
Plans (XML format and bugzilla entries) with dynamic, iterative updates worked well.
Team discussion "broken out" to their own regular meetings, so they don't overwhelm WTP status call with detail (that only a few on call are interested in).
Dates on Google calendar helps keep all coordinated by having dates in a central spot.
Frequent (weekly) but short status calls.
Things we'd like to improve on
Build, process, practice
Too many intermittent junit failures: especially in that there are too many long periods build failures. Failures (even compile errors) begin to be ignored since failures so common.
Builds take too long: especially in that it takes a long time to get notified if problem or not after checking in code.
Lots of code checked in with no junit test (both new function and bug fixes).
Lack performance suite or benchmarks.
Communication, Documentation
Lack of dependent project communication, such as emf or platform, both if and when "breaking" changes coming and once we learn of it, seems there's no central place to learn of all "breaking changes".

Hard for newcomers (even adopters) to get "acquainted" or integrated with WTP policies, practice, and rhythms so testing isn't done early enough and communication is awkward, hard and takes too long to get worked out. [The break-out meetings such as for JEE have helped.]

3" or 4" barrel 38 spl - what should I be looking for?
I currently carry a Ruger LCR for CCW. I'd like to pick up something with a 3" barrel - 4" maximum for CCW on the belt once in a while. I'm a 38 special lover - more in to shooting standard and not +P, etc.
In the 4" barrel - I've been looking at possibly a Colt Army Special/Official Police or a S & W M & P. I have both of those in 6" barrel length and based on those, I'd lean towards the S & W.
I know that S & W currently makes a model in 3" length. K frame I believe? I'd be looking at blue rather than shiny. I also want SA/DA. That said, what are my options in regards to models? I like vintage revolvers so as long as it's tight and in good shape, I'd be happy with something used/vintage - or, if there is something new out there that is reasonably priced.
I don't care if the finish is 100% as long as if it is used/vintage, it is in good operating condition. What price range should I expect to pay for a fair price on either a blued Colt AS/OP or a S & W M & P with a 4" barrel?
Are there other brands that offer 3" barrel length that I should be considering as well? It may seem strange to some that I'd want a longer barrel over the LCR snubby but I primarily carry when I'm in AZ - have always carried OTB and usually have a shirt tail out which would cover the print of a 3" barrel (or 4" if I went that route with the more vintage Colt OP or S & W M & P)
If a pair of '51 Navies were good enough for Billy Hickok, then a single Navy on my right hip is good enough for me . . . besides . . . I'm probably only half as good as he was anyways. Hiram's Rangers Badge #63

I have both S&W models 36 (Chief's Special) and 37 (the airweight version) with 3" barrels. They are not common, but they are out there. Both of mine were blessedly of C&R age, which was handy. I also have a strong preference for the older revolvers, because of the attention to detail that they exhibit.
If five shots is not enough, Colt made the Detective Special in a 3" version as well.
If CCW is a goal, I'd personally prefer a small-frame revolver to a larger one. And like you, I find .38 spl quite enough cartridge. Buffalo Bore makes a self-defense round that is loaded and charged especially for short-barrelled revolvers of a certain age, in which you wouldn't want to run +P loads.

Ruger makes the SP-101 in 3" and 4" models. Will use the same speedloaders as your LCR, too.
If you want something larger with six shots, Ruger has the GP-100 & the Security/Service/Speed-Six revolvers on the new & used market.
All are good guns. Choose your favorite....

3 inch chief special
S&W Chief Special 3inch HB
When I started as a cop (1981) most agencies around here carried S&W Revolvers, mostly K frames. Among the more knowledgeable shooters, the 3 inch Chief's Special was a very popular off duty & backup gun. I bought the first one I ever fired. (A friend made me a deal. I made the last payment on the day President Reagan was shot).
At that time the County Traffic Police was separate from the Sheriff's Department (they merged in January of 1982). Among the avid shooters there was one group that carried S&W Auto pistols. (Many of them carried Walther PP or PPK or PPK/S pistols as hideout guns); another group that carried Colt Pythons (with Detective Specials as hide-out guns) and a final group that preferred the Smith & Wesson revolvers, mostly 5 inch Model 27s. And ALL those guys had 3 inch Chief Specials for hideout guns.
I always thought the 3 inch J frames balanced better and looked cooler. .
I currently own an M36 with the 3 inch tapered barrel, an M36 with the 3 inch heavy barrel, an M60 stainless with the 3 inch heavy barrel, and a (now-discontinued) M650 3 inch heavy barrel in .22LR, that I use as a "practice gun" for the other two.
Originally, for service ammo I used the S&W Nyclad 125 grn "Chief's Special" load, later made by Federal.
Then I switched to the WW 158 grn Lead SWC HP +P and then to the Federal 129 grn Hydro-Shock HP. I was about to switch to the Speer 135 grn +P HP, but then the PD made a change in policy and mandated the use of Hornady Critical Defense FXT hollow points for any secondary or concealment guns, and so I'm using the 110 grain hollow points.
I usually carry the guns in a traditional leather holster with a thumb break retainer, and reloads are Bianchi speed strips or HXS speed loaders carried in a Safariland 371 split six speed loader carrier.
You can only learn from experience if you pay attention!

One point I forgot to mention when discussing the 3" Smiths: the extractor is longer than in the 2" pistols, so it will extract the entire fired cartridge case. (The 2" extractor range of movement is shorter that the 38 Spl case).
This might prove useful on rare occasions, when having something hanging up in your cylinder would be a Very Bad Thing.

IMHO.... The 3" S&W mod 60 is about as good as they come. It has adjustable sights, full underlug barrel and the carry ability of the famous J frame. PLUS.... it is chambered in 357 so ammo choice is up to you but I like the ability to use a wide variety......

You mean something like this?
1955 Smith & Wesson M&P, 4" barrel, 38 Special.
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
No problem at all to carry with a good pancake holster.

Lots of choices here. Most responses are right on target. Another option if you can find one is a S&W model 13 3 inch barrel. Was used by FBI agents at one time. Very good handing and has that typical good double action trigger.

To me 3 inch is about it for general CCW revolvers. More than that and the barrel sticks into the car seat when sitting.
Even my N frame 3 inch 625-3 above isn't bad. And the 2 1/2 Combat Magnum is a real good one. The 2 inch Centennial is a good 'always' gun to have.

I'm a really big fan of my 3" S&W model 36 no-dash (tapered barrel) for CC once I get my permit. As a J-frame, the width of it is nice and slim for easy concealment (practiced around the house), and the extra barrel length plus full length extractor really make it easier to shoot and handle than a full-on snubby. (I also like the extra velocity the extra inch of barrel likely gives me compared to the 1 7/8" versions). I keep thinking that I could get myself a newer +P rated snubby that could conceal a little easier length-wise or upgrade to a mid-size 44 special without adding too much size, but every time I pick it up, I get that "this is the one" feeling. A little too long for pocket carry, but with the right holster, it will work in or outside the waistband all day long.
After a small session of head to head wetpack testing, I like the buffalo bore standard pressure 158gr lswc-hc (20c), with standard pressure critical defense for reloads in an HKS speedloader due to the full jacket and strongly tapered shape.

A big "thank you" to everyone for the information, suggestions, etc.
I currently carry a LCR and am very comfortable with a 5 shot 38. I will be looking to see what I can find in a J frame and hopefully can stumble across one. If I run across a 4" M & P that is in good shape, I'd have no problems with that either.
I have a 4" Python - yea, I know a lot of folks love 'em but I really don't care for all the extra weight of the barrel and ejector shroud. That's why I'm thinking a more "vintage" model - such as the M & P with the tapered barrel, exposed ejector would fit the bill. However, I'll keep an open mind and see what I run across.
I have a more vintage M & P Target with 6" barrel - my first Smith. I enjoy the action and trigeer on it - just don't like the barrel length as far as CCW.
Thanks for the photos as well - gives me a good idea of what there is and what to look for!

"Everything you need. Nothing you don't."
Ummm..Cajun...that gun needs either better stocks or a Tyler T-Grip, either a night sight or gold bead, and chamfered charge holes. A trigger job is optional, but I prefer to have them performed on the gun. In my opinion, these features are the minimum changes required for a self-defense revolver.
I think the OP will find a gun with 3" barrel to be a good compromise for carry. A four inch barrel will work just fine though.

Stocks: required. I do not like the triggerguard smacking my knuckles.
Night Sight: Required for improved shooting at distance in low light. I will point shoot at short range, but not past 15 yards. Improving the sight picture is important.
Fixing the charge holes could be argued, but anything that speeds up a reload with flat tipped bullets is essential. This includes using different JHP bullets.
Trigger work is a no-brainer (and I am bumping it up to required after thinking about my last revolver class). If you want to argue against the benefits of improved trigger control, you are just being cranky.

Colt made some of their superb Detective Specials with a 3 inch barrels if you'er ever lucky enough to find one.

- Dolores Umbridge: "I have testimony from Willy Widdershins, Minerva, who happened to be in the bar at the time. He was heavily bandaged, it is true, but his hearing was quite unimpaired. He heard every word Potter said and hastened straight to the school to report to me —"
- Minerva McGonagall: "Oh, so that's why he wasn't prosecuted for setting up all those regurgitating toilets! What an interesting insight into our justice system!"
- Fortescue: "Blatant corruption! The Ministry did not cut deals with petty criminals in my day, no sir, they did not!"
- — Dolores Umbridge, Minerva McGonagall, and the portrait of Dexter Fortescue discussing the Ministry's actions about Willy Widdershins[src]
Willy Widdershins was a wizard who repeatedly engaged in Muggle-baiting pranks. He was arrested by the Ministry of Magic for enchanting a series of regurgitating toilets in Muggle areas such as Bethnal Green, one of which backfired against him during its creation. He was badly injured in his capture and was wrapped heavily in bandages. He made a deal with the Ministry, that if he spied on Harry Potter and his friends, they would let him go. He did so, and reported to Inquisitor Dolores Umbridge and Cornelius Fudge that they were planning on making a secret Defence Against the Dark Arts group while they were in a meeting at the Hog's Head. By doing so he was able to avoid prosecution. He was later caught selling biting doorknobs, which bit off the fingers of two Muggles, and was subsequently given a prison sentence that he could not avoid.
Widdershins (sometimes withershins, widershins or widderschynnes) means to take a course opposite the apparent motion of the sun (in the Northern hemisphere), going anti-clockwise, lefthandwise, or to circle an object, by always keeping it on the left.[1]
Behind the scenes
- It is possible that Willy may be the same Will mentioned by Mundungus Fletcher earlier in the same book.

From Openmoko
Hello there!
If you've stumbled onto here, no doubt you followed the link from the North Texas group.
About Me
I'm a programmer that currently lives in Addison, TX. I'm hugely interested in Linux, specifically Slackware, and in networking in general. I have good backgrounds in many different programming languages (C, C++, Java, php & mysql, perl, VBA), but no experience with open source toolkits or any kind of embedded development. I enjoy settling in for beer at the Flying Saucer pub in Addison, but just about any pub will do. Send me an email and we can meet for a pint one day after work.
I spent 3 years at Texas A&M in the computer engineering department before deciding it wasn't what I wanted. I'm more interested in software, but at the time I was pretty burned out on computers all together. After a year of futzing around, I dropped out and got a job as a programmer.
Fast forward three years and I have started back to college again. I am going to the University of Texas at Dallas in the evenings, working towards a BS in computer science. I don't know how long it will take to complete (several years), but it is very important to me to graduate.
Interest in OpenMoko
I've been wanting to get involved with a worthy open source project for some time now, but I was uncertain where to settle. I've been monitoring the OpenMoko project from afar, waiting for it to mature enough for me to jump in.
With the release of the FreeRunner to the public, I feel the project has reached a stable point (some might disagree). I want to be involved in the infancy of this project, not just to say "I was there when" but to really contribute.
Current Tasks
As I am paying for college, I can't easily afford the $370 for a FreeRunner right now. I will be experimenting with QEMU to set up an emulator for development purposes. Afterwards, I want to start on a calendar/todo application similiar to what the Blackberry has.

IP Lawyer Explains Why Uploading Files May Not Be Distribution For Copyright
from the forget-making-available... dept
The reasoning requires a very literal reading of the law. Section 106 of copyright law lists out the specific "exclusive rights" granted under copyright law to copyright holders, including things like reproduction rights, performance rights and distribution rights. The text of the distribution right is: "to distribute copies or phonorecords of the copyrighted work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending;" From this reading, one might conclude that uploading a file is a "copy." But if you go to Section 101, which holds the definitions for the law, it states (quite clearly):
"Copies" are material objects, other than phonorecords, in which a work is fixed by any method now known or later developed, and from which the work can be perceived, reproduced, or otherwise communicated, either directly or with the aid of a machine or device. The term "copies" includes the material object, other than a phonorecord, in which the work is first fixed.Note the emphasis on material objects. As such, you can read the law, as written, to conclude that passing around the song itself, which is not a material object, is not actually an infringement of the distribution right under the current law.
Now, before people get too excited about this, in a later panel this question was raised again, to the EFF's Fred von Lohmann. He agreed that this appeared to be a literal reading of copyright law -- and that just about every copyright scholar he's spoken to agrees -- but that every time he's argued it in court, the court has disagreed or ignored it. He says he'll continue to make the argument, but that it has not been effective. Also, as Bridges noted in making the original statement, just because the distribution right isn't infringed, doesn't mean there aren't other issues. For example, whoever downloaded the file downloaded it to a material object (the hard drive) probably violates the first exclusive right, the "reproduction" right. And, thus, an argument could be made that the person who uploaded the file contributed to the violation of the reproduction right. However, based on this argument, it does seem clear that uploading a file is not, technically, a violation of the distribution right under copyright law -- not that the courts recognize that. Of course, if the courts ever did recognize this fact, you could bet that within a matter of days, a Congressional Representative would introduce an amendment to copyright law to change the definition of "copy" to include content not tied to a material good.

I might just have to settle on a term for it. Try explaining to your two year old the difference between experimental film, avant-garde film, poetic cinema, underground film, etc, etc, blah blah blah. He can say "mommy making movies" and "mommy working". But what of the films I like? "Experimental" film seems falsely modest. "Avant-garde" sounds self-important. How about "Film art"? (but in a theater which I prefer over the gallery?) I want to show him a Pat O'Neill film for some reason. What to call it? Yes, Yes, just let it speak for itself, but sometimes a label is required.
It is amazing to see Teo learning a new language- his first of course. I cannot even begin to describe how wondrous it is. He and I are also trying to learn Mandarin and it is as if my brain is fossilled over and nothing penetrates. Teo has the memory and "brain absorption capacity" of a champion. I admire it immensely (and I have a little nostalgia for when I might have had such a spongy brain).
But back to the point of this....What to call those challenging, sometimes beautiful, complex, sometimes difficult, personal, non-commercial, debt-producing films that I love (to watch and make)? It's a tired question that I never bothered with much before (using all terms interchangeably) - well maybe that's the best that we can do since the film work I'm discussing defies fixed language.

If you follow boxing, especially the career of Worcester's Edwin "La Bomba" Rodriguez, then you've seen the headlines plastered all over the Internet lately.
Like the one that screamed, "Edwin Rodriguez Turned Down 500K!"
Not true, according to Larry Army Jr., Rodriguez's manager.
When the handlers of WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (22-0, 21 knockouts) offered to fight Rodriguez for a hefty purse (reportedly approaching $500,000), Team Rodriguez agreed, according to Army. The next thing Army knew, he saw the story on various websites saying that "La Bomba" had turned it down.
What actually happened, according to Army, is that Golovkin's people came back and reduced their offer "to a much smaller number" after the stories broke. One online scribe even said: "It looks like Rodriguez's 0 is more important than money."
The amount of the reduced offer is not known, but it apparently wasn't enough for Rodriguez to risk putting his unbeaten record (22-0-0, 15 KOs) on the line, even though the fight was going to be at Rodriguez's weight (168 pounds).
Golovkin, 30, is an ethnic Russian who was born in Kazakhstan but lives in Germany, if you can absorb all that. He never fought in the U.S. until his most recent title defense in Verona, N.Y., hence his low profile.
Abel Sanchez, Golovkin's trainer, initially spread the hearsay about Rodriguez on BoxingScene.com.
"Gennady will fight anyone from 154 to 168 pounds," Sanchez said. "It's like you said, right now it's high risk, low reward to face Gennady, but I was told that Edwin Rodriguez turned down a $500,000 payday to face him. That's a lot of money. Nobody wants to face this guy right now but that will change as Gennady gets more exposure here in the U.S."
As it stands now, Golovin still is scheduled to appear in the main event of the HBO card on Sept. 19 at Madison Square Garden, but no opponent is listed. Rodriguez no longer plans to fight on that undercard, which had been his second choice.
With both Rodriguez and fellow super middleweight/stablemate Thomas "Tommy Gun" Oosthuizen (20-0-1, 13) out as opponents, Golovkin reportedly is considering either former NABF middleweight champ Fernando Guerrero (25-1-0, 19) or junior middleweight contender Gabriel Rosado (21-5-0, 13). Both would certainly bite for the smaller purse.
Meanwhile, Rodriguez and Army leave tomorrow for Cancun, Mexico, site of the 50th annual WBC Convention. One objective, Army said, is to lobby for a higher ranking from the WBC, which recently dropped Rodriguez from No. 3 to No. 6 despite his impressive TKO of Jason Escalera in September.
That was no doubt Rodriguez's penalty for surrendering his WBC-sanctioned USNBC national title, which he won in November 2010 by beating James "Buddy" McGirt Jr. Rodriguez stopped defending that belt after he won the USBA title in March against Donovan George.
"The goal," Army said, "is hopefully we come out of there with some options of what's next for Edwin, at least in terms of the WBC. I would expect that within the following 4-5 days after Cancun, we'll have something in place."
Army said there are two "high-value targets" on the radar screen, and that "both would involve very large purses and very large opportunities." He stopped short of saying that either was a title fight, but he confirmed that one was an HBO telecast and the other was for more money.
Rodriguez, 27, has been working out recently with Carlos Garcia, his old coach at the Boys & Girls Club of Worcester, who introduced him to the sport back in 2001. Last week, the two-time national amateur champ sparred in Worcester with 6-foot-5 heavyweight prospect George Foreman III, son of the former heavyweight great.
Foreman (15-0, 14 KOs) is trained by "Iceman" John Scully, the former Hartford super middleweight/light heavyweight who also trained Worcester's three-time world champion, Jos� Antonio Rivera, late in his career.
After Rodriguez, who is ranked No. 3 by the IBF, returns from Cancun on Friday, he'll settle in for the holidays with his family before heading to Houston right after New Year's to begin working under trainer Ronnie Shields. By then, we should know his next opponent.
Garcia and Kendrick Ball of Camp Get Right have been chosen as coaches for the 16-person New England team that will compete in the upcoming USA Boxing regionals, probably in Lake Placid, N.Y.
"I was a little shocked they picked both coaches from Worcester," Ball said. "It's quite an honor."
New England champions from Worcester include Jamaine Ortiz, 132 pounds; Bryan Daniels, 201 pounds; and Owen Minor, 201-plus pounds. If they win in New York, they'll advance to the USA Boxing nationals in Tacoma, Wash.
Last year, the New England winners advanced directly to the nationals, but in an effort to save money, the New England and New York winners are meeting to choose one regional participant in each weight division.
Allie LaVigne of Sterling put up a good fight in losing to National Golden Gloves champion Liz Leddy of Portland, Maine, in the women's 132-pound final last weekend.
"She let (Liddy) know she's definitely right there on her level," Ball said.
Ball's son, Kendrick Ball Jr., will fight Robert Butler of John Ruiz's Quiet Man Boxing Club in the USA Boxing New England 165-pound novice final on Saturday night in Lowell.
Five young fighters from Garcia's stable at the Boys & Girls Club of Worcester began competition last night in the New England Silver Gloves in New Bedford.
The team is led by 13-year-old Nicholas Briggs (125 pounds), a past Junior Olympics and Silver Gloves champion. The other members are Omar Mercedes, 11, who is ranked second in the country at 60 pounds; Edwin Monell, 11, 75 pounds; and Juan Ruiz, 12, and Joel Maldonado, 15, who will meet in the first round of the 119-pound division.
Khiary Gray-Pitts of Camp Get Right, who suffered a dislocated shoulder while winning the 155-pound championship of the Rocky Marciano Tournament in Brockton three weeks ago, is back in the ring, according to Ball.
Gray-Pitts is "doing everything real light" right now as he prepares for the start of the Golden Gloves in January, Ball said. He returned to the ring just before Thanksgiving.
By the way, Worcester fighters now will compete in Holyoke rather than Lowell in the first round of the Golden Gloves. The reason, reportedly, is because too many Worcester fighters were taking Lowell's spots for the next round.

It is exceedingly rare to see a juvenile whalefish (a tapetail) in shallow water.
From YouTube: "Flora Teng and Bill Durbin saw this unusual fish at only 20 feet (7 m) on the morning of March 26, 2011 while diving at Rock Point West, Apo Island, Philippines." View the clip on You Tube.
The 'hidden identity' of the tapetails was revealed in 2008 in the ground-breaking paper of Johnson and colleagues.
Tags fishes, ichthyology, Larval whalefish, tapetail, Apo Island, Philippines,
Hi randys. I agree with you. The life cycle of the whalefishes is truly remarkable, not the least of which is, as you say, the differences in habitats between the larvae and the adults. In case you didn't see it, this page gives more information on the amazing life cycle of the whalefishes.

It will boast further functionality for performers as well as composers. EZplayer will be available through all Toontrack's distributors.
So what is EZplayer Free?
EZplayer Free is the MIDI browser from Toontrack's dfh EZdrummer and it showcases the MIDI handling capabilities of EZdrummer. It lets you add, catalogue, audition and use your MIDI files with your favorite drum sampler.
How do I use EZplayer Free?
You simply connect EZplayer Free to the track in your host to which you´ve assigned your drum sampler, using the MIDI OUT function (check the manual found in the help menu in the EZplayer Free interface for specific procedure in different hosts). Then use the browser and play buttons in EZplayer Free to browse through the MIDI and audition it through your drum sampler. When you find a MIDI track that you like, simply drag it into your host to start building a drum track.
Will EZplayer Free work with any drum sampler?
Yes, EZplayer Free in its basic mode works in GM standard but if you have a sampler that uses another mapping (dfh Superior for example), you simply click the mapping menu found in the top edge of the EZplayer Free interface and pick the product that you´re using. Now the MIDI files in EZplayer Free are adjusted to the chosen mapping.
A preliminary list of supported sampler mappings are: DFH-S, EZD, DFH 1&2, Strike, BFD and GM.
More to come at a later date.
What does EZplayer Free cost?
Nothing. The only thing you have to do, is register a user account with Toontrack using a valid E-mail adress, activate the account and download EZplayer Free. EZplayer Free also comes with a number of free MIDI files for drums.

Now your MIDI files and folder structure inside the user MIDI show up in the browser of EZplayer Free - ready to be auditioned, dragged and dropped into your host.
Where can I get more MIDI files for EZplayer Free?
Either purchase any of the Toontrack EZdrummer EZX expansion packs and install on your computer. The MIDI files included will show up in your EZplayer Free browser automatically.

Yale Blasts North Dakota in 3rd Period
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – If yesterday's win over top-ranked Minnesota was a giant step toward a national championship, today's come-from-behind, 4-1 NCAA West Regional Final win over North Dakota that sent the Bulldogs to their first Frozen Four is the current cornerstone for the men's hockey program.
The Bulldogs overcame a 1-0, third-period deficit with three goals in just over five minutes to stun North Dakota, which had held off its ECAC opponent for 52 minutes.
Josh Balch broke the bubble at 12:25 for the equalizer, Jesse Root followed almost three minutes later and then Stu Wilson found the net at 17:39, finishing off one of the most famous offensive explosions in the history of the program. Kenny Agostino's empty-netter capped a weekend sweep of WCHA teams as the No. 4 seed at the Van Andel Arena.
The Elis face UMass-Lowell, winners of the Northeast Regional, in one of the April 11 semifinals at the Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh (ESPN2, AM-1340 WYBC).
"We were thrilled to be able to get the win today. We were playing well throughout the game, we have such a great unit. Our team just stuck with the plan and eventually they broke through," said Keith Allain '80, Yale's Malcolm G. Chace Head Coach.
It took a while for the Elis to break through, but they put the rubber on the seven-time NCAA Champions all game. In fact, Yale attempted 87 shots compared to 54 for North Dakota; it was 39-25 in shots on goal.
Jeff Malcolm, Yale's senior netminder, was outstanding for a second straight night with 24 saves, including nine in the third period. There were a few times where he had to withstand a flurry but never lost his focus and control.
UND opened the scoring at 7:22 with a Corban Knight wrister that went top shelf. This was the second time the No. 2 seed thought it had taken a 1-0 lead. Nearly five minutes earlier, Connor Gaarder crashed the net and appeared to score a goal at 2:31, but the officials took the tally off the board following a very long video review. It was later explained that an offensive player made contact with the goalie and that is why the goal was waved off.
Knight's goal stood through the opening frame despite Yale having a 11-8 edge in shots on target and having two pretty good looking power plays. The Elis, who won many of the battles, moved the puck well in the period and attempted 24 shots overall.
Yale came out buzzing in the second. Tommy Fallen and Root had great chances to break through for the Blue but Fallen's blast from point-blank range sailed high and Root's backhand shot from 10 feet away was knocked aside by Saunders, who came up with numerous quality saves to keep a hard-charging team off the board.
The Elis outshot UND 14-8 in the middle frame and used a ferocious fore-check to sustain the pressure. It may have been one of the best Yale offensive periods of the season where it did not score. The passes were on target the lower seed had the favored squad chasing for much of the period. Yale actually had 10 more attempted shots than in the first.
The Bulldogs finally broke through thanks to a great neutral zone play by Wilson and a great job by Balch to get open in the low slot. Wilson stole the puck outside the blueline, kicked it away from a UND skater to himself and went into the right circle before sending it over to Anthony Day to his right. Day, who had two assists, immediately sent it across the slot for Balch, who had broken free from the defense. The senior forward held for a moment and then wristed it inside the near post to make it 1-1.
"We've been close the first two years [in the NCAAs]. We've got a lot of will, a lot of heart. We're going to get to work the next two weeks and we're halfway home," said Balch, who has two OT game winners this year and one of the most crucial goals in the team's history.
With 6:15 left, UND's Mark MacMillan went to the penalty box and the Bulldogs licked their chops for another chance. Andrew Miller carried in over the blueline and got to the top of the right circle. He moved the puck to the middle for Root, who will head home to Pittsburgh next week.
"It will be great to go back to the Burgh. I'm really excited," said Root, the junior center and West Regional MVP who gathered the Miller pass and then flicked a wrister inside the near post.
"It's a great accomplishment. It's a great accomplishment for any team. We have a young team, and that helps us bounce back from a tough weekend. A little naïve which is good, but we brought it this weekend," said Miller, Yale's captain, whose assist brought him to within one of the school's career record.
The Blue still needed a few great stops from their goalie and a great blocker save by Malcolm with 3:10 left on Drake Caggiula was the highlight. That save helped ignite the next Yale rush.
"The guys did a great job in front of me. We just kept at it," said Malcolm.
Day broke out of the Yale end with a 3-on-1 and held all the way into the left circle before unleashing a nasty wrister that bounced off Saunder's blocker and in the air. Wilson, crashing the net from the other side, swiped it out of the air and into the back of the net.
All of this late offense came against a team that was 15-1-2 when leading after two periods this season and was looking for its 20th Frozen Four appearance.
Kenny Agostino and Gus Young made the West Regional All-Tournament team while Jesse Root was the MVP... Yale is now 5-5 all-time in NCAA Tourney games... All six Yale seniors were in uniform in 2010 when the Bulldogs beat UND at the Northeast Regional; UND has four players on its roster who played in that game. None of the current players scored in that semifinal… The Blue went with the same lineup as Friday… Both officiating crews sent to the West Regional were from Hockey East... Yale played in the NCAA Championships in 1952 in Colorado as one of two teams representing the East. It was not called the Frozen Four.
