I've talked a lot lately about Rockford Promise, and today I'll do so again. It occurs to me that if Transform Rockford wants to accomplish something concrete in a short time, the Transformers should take on the funding of this college scholarship program.
Rockford's key problem is that its populace lacks sufficient book learnin' to supply the needs of a modern economy - we have about 20 percent of adults with a college education and need 25 percent or more. It's obvious we're not going to be bringing a giant, state university here; they're not making more of those.
Instead, it would be relatively easy to emulate 40-some communities around the nation and fully fund the "Promise" program to pay for every Rockford Public Schools graduate to get a college education or equivalent career training certificate. A study by the Upjohn Institute said such a program would cost $5.6 million a year.
Besides the Transformers, the local real estate groups and the Chamber of Commerce should actively promote "Promise," by which I mean fundraising.
If another key problem of ours is declining property values, one way to turn that around and offer people an incentive to move to the Forest City is the promise of a paid college education for their children.
Of course, industries and other businesses can also help by stopping the common practice of telling their new recruits that they should avoid living in Rockford at all costs - a common practice. That would be quite a transformation in and of itself.
I'd like to see this slogan become familiar to everyone in area: "Come to Rockford, where kids go to college free."
Pickleball on trial
I did not get to the Great Pickleball Caper court decision last week, when a judge rendered a thundering verdict, but I'll talk about it today.
In case you don't remember, a couple of octogenarian women living close to Sinnissippi Park sued the Rockford Park District because they didn't like the sound of "pickleball" games being played on converted tennis courts in the park. They demanded an end to pickleball.
Pickleball is kind of like tennis, only it's played with a wooden paddle and a plastic ball with holes in it - a whiffle ball. When you hit the ball, it makes a crisp, "whack!" sound. The park district installed pickleball courts in September 2010 to keep up with popular demand.
In June 2012 the two women, Jeanette Haskell and Barbara Friel, filed the suit saying that "the noise filters into every part of their property and household," and therefore was a nuisance. Haskell has since died.
Ruling for the Park District and pickelballers everywhere, 17th Circuit Judge Eugene Doherty said, "While pickleball was not (at Sinnissippi) when plaintiffs moved into the neighborhood, surely they knew that they were moving in proximity to a large park ... Part of living next to this particular park is that neighbors will experience sounds of picnickers at the pavilions, or children at the playground, or music from the bandshell or tennis from the tennis courts."
And, in striking a blow for common sense, Doherty concluded, "Plaintiffs are mistaken, however, if they feel that they have the right to lock the district into those activities, and only those, which existed at the time they became neighbors."
This reminds me of incidents in the 1960s when people were flooding into new subdivisions near Chicago O'Hare International Airport. When they got there they complained endlessly about jet noise from the world's busiest airport.
Modern times are noisy. So, when life hands you a pickle, play pickleball.

We've all heard how the h.264 is rolled over on patents and royalties. Even with these facts, I kept supporting the best-performing "delivery" codec in the market, which is h.264. "Let the best win", I kept thinking. But it wasn't until very recently when I was made aware that the problem is way deeper. No, my friends. It's not just a matter of just "picking Theora" to export a video to Youtube and be clear of any litigation. MPEG-LA's trick runs way deeper! The [street-smart] people at MPEG-LA have made sure that from the moment we use a camera or camcorder to shoot an mpeg2 (e.g. HDV cams) or h.264 video (e.g. digicams, HD dSLRs, AVCHD cams), we owe them royalties, even if the final video distributed was not encoded using their codecs! Let me show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.
UPDATE: Engadget just wrote a reply to this article. The article says that you don't need an extra license to shoot commercial video with h.264 cameras, but I wonder why the license says otherwise, and Engadget's "quotes" of user/filmmaker indemnification by MPEG-LA are anonymous...
UPDATE 2: Engadget's editor replied to me. So according to him, the quotes are not anonymous, but organization-wide on purpose. If that's the case, I guess this concludes that. And I can take them on their word from now on.
UPDATE 3: And regarding royalties (as opposed to just licensing), one more reply by Engadget's editor.

Authorities in the Oklahoma City area say they're planning to crack down on people who drive while intoxicated.
A team of law enforcement officers will be out in the Oklahoma City area looking for drunk drivers on New Year's Eve.
The team is composed of officers from the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, the Oklahoma City Police Department, the Oklahoma County sheriff's office and the Alcoholic Beverage Laws Enforcement Commission.
Patrols will begin Monday at 7 p.m. and end early Tuesday.
During the New Year's Day holiday period last year, six people died in six crashes across Oklahoma, and 219 people were injured.
Of those, the Oklahoma Highway Safety Office says one death and 31 injuries were in alcohol-related crashes.

(part 1)
Baseball card production was virtually halted in the early 1940's due to paper shortages created by World War II. The "Modern Era" of baseball cards began in 1948 when Bowman Gum Inc. offered one card and one piece of gum in a pack for a penny.
The first important football set was the Mayo set featuring college players in 1984. Other than the 1935 National Chicle set no other key football set was issued until 1948 when noth Bowman and Leaf produced sets.
1974 Topps StampsTopps released this 240 stamp issue in 1974. These 1 by 1 1/2 stamp are unnumbered and feature a color photo with the player's name, team and position inside a colored oval at the bottom of the stamp. Very similar to their 1969 Topps Stamps issue, the 1974 Topps Stamps were issued in panels of 12 stamps. Alomg with the stamps, Topps also issued a set of 24 stamp albums, one per team, to store the stamps. Due to double prints and different combinations of stamps on panels there are actually 24 different 12-Stamp panels. The stamps were not inserts but a totally separate issue and were sold in packs containing one 12-Stamp panel along with one stamp album.
The 1974 Topps Stamps set is packed with SuperStars including over 23 members of the Baseball Hall-of-Fame with greats such as Nolan Ryan, Hank Aaron, Johnny Bench, Ernie Banks, Pete Rose, Reggie Jackson, Al Kaline, Joe Morgan, Willie Stargell, Tom Seaver and plenty more !!! The set even contains seldom seen ROOKIES of Dave Winfield and Dave Parker.

Want to annoy a potential scammer? Courier-Post columnist Danny Henley shares one way.
It's not hard to find someone willing to take what you have. And any more there seems to be a bumper crop of scammers with the charm necessary to convince you to GIVE them what you have.
Periodically I receive calls at the Courier-Post from readers wanting to alert others about a scam that someone tried to pull on them. But I don't have to be at work to hear about attempted schemes.
Like many in Hannibal, my residence suffered storm damage on May 20. And like many we (specifically my wife, Nancy) have been dealing with insurance and contractors ever since.
A few weeks ago we received a call from someone with an official-sounding title wanting to verify some insurance information. All they needed to complete the process was some information, like my Social Security number, to verify my account. My bride politely, yet firmly, said "no way."
A week or so ago Nancy fielded another phone call at home from an individual who expressed concern over the well-being of our computer.
The man, who Nancy at times had trouble understanding because of his foreign accent, explained that our computer had picked up files that were making it run slowly. If we didn't do something about it these files, which a standard virus protection program wouldn't detect, could ultimately begin corrupting data on our computer.
"I'm just calling to help you," he purred, stressing that his "help" would be provided at no charge.
But for him to "help" us, she would have to turn our computer on and complete a few key strokes, and he would walk her through that process. At that point he would deal with those troublesome files.
"If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them," he assured my wife.
However, when Nancy began posing inquires, the individual became agitated.
Even after 38 years of washing my dirty socks, Nancy can still tell when something stinks, and this was reeking.
At that point my wife instituted a popular and at times successful sports strategy. Albeit unintentionally I suspect, Nancy initiated a "delay game" that ultimately drove the caller to a high degree of frustration.
In games such as basketball and football, a delaying strategy is frequently initiated by the team that has the lead to lessen the amount of time the opponent has to make a comeback. When it comes to dealing with a would-be scammer, who likely made his money on the volume of computers he could gain access to, finding someone who did not immediately comply was taking money out of his pocket.
Since the start of their conversation, my bride had been taking an assortment of notes, writing down his name, location, phone number, and details regarding the files that had supposedly found their way onto our computer and what he was going to do. Because writing down such detailed information does not happen instantly, the caller found himself having to wait.
"Why haven't you turned your computer on yet," he demanded to know. "All I want to do is help you."
As minutes passed, the individual became even more annoyed. Finally, the frustrated individual shouted, "You're wasting my time!" and hung up.
As soon as their conversation ended, Nancy placed a call to the Missouri Attorney General's office and detailed what had happened. The individual she spoke to in Jefferson City confirmed that the low life Nancy had been speaking to was not legitimate and was only trying to gain access to our computer in order to steal personal information.
We've all been frustrated by time lost to sales and political calls to our homes. I was proud of my wife whose "delay game" tactic wound up wasting a crook's time.

Scary Movie 4: Unrated (US - DVD R1)
Gabe laughs exactly three times, and watches clock for nearly 90 minutes...
Anna Faris and Regina Hall are back, again, as duelling, unfunny idiots Cindy Campbell and Brenda. Director David Zucker, and his 'crack' team bring them into a spoof plot mish-mash of Saw, War of the Worlds, The Village, and The Grudge. Craig Bierko guest stars as Tom Ryan, a filler for Tom Cruise's War of the Worlds everyman, Ray Ferrier. Together, these humourless dimwits battle to save the world from a ruthless alien invasion. Cindy moves in next-door to Tom to take care of an invalid in a haunted house, ala The Grudge. The house's resident ghost warns Cindy of the invasion of evil alien 'Tr-iPods', and suggests that she go to a local village in order to find the way to stop it. There are a few jabs at the real life Tom Cruise, and some homophobic Brokeback Mountain jokes tossed in for good measure, and Leslie Nealson reprises his role from the previous Scary Movie as the moronic President of the United States.
I don't get it.
I don't get how the same tired jokes about erections and flatulence can still gross over $90 million in the United States alone. Did that many people really like the first three Scary Movies? I'll admit I still remember seeing the original Wayans Bros. film in a crowded urban theatre in South Phoenix, and thinking it was just about the funniest thing ever. Then I rented the DVD and had to turn it off half way through because it was so unbearably awful. Perhaps these movies only work in a crowd. Regardless, I didn't see the other two Scary Movies, and don't imagine they had much to add to the series' credit.
But I find it hard to believe that even in a stadium full of giddy schoolgirls I'd find Scary Movie 4 anything more than mildly amusing. I laughed at exactly three of the film's four hundred thousand gags, and I'll go ahead and ruin them for you here so you don't have to sit through the other eighty minutes of laugh-less boredom. I snickered as the aging Asian man showing Cindy around the Grudge-like haunted house desperately tried to hide the disembodied black ghost hair in the hopes that she wouldn't notice and take the homecare job no one else could. This is probably due to the fact that I've watched about sixteen such films over the last year, and could really relate to the gag. I also chuckled when the alien Tr-iPod's display read 'destroy humanity', it was cute, as was the following scene where Tom tries to let his mechanic into the only working van in Jersey (remember the scene from War of the Worlds?), but is foiled by the fact that they keep unlocking and opening the door at the same instant. There, those were the funny bits, use your imagination and save yourselves some money.
I'll give the four (!) writers a lick of credit for finding a way to tie together the main plots of The Grudge, Saw, and War of the Worlds. The overall arc is a little clever, but the lame jokes in between create such a rancid smoke screen it doesn't really matter.
I honestly like Anna Faris, Anthony Anderson, and Craig Bierko. I hope for their sakes that the money was good, because this kind of half-assed fluff simply can't look good on an honest resume. Anderson's been in a brew-full of horrible films, and often still comes out smelling rather rosy, but Faris has become entirely typecast because of this character. She's got a lot of base comedic talent that isn't obvious or well utilized here, but anyone fortunate enough to see Lucky McKee's May or Sophia Coppola's Lost in Translation knows that. Even when typecast, she can really shine. I'm most offended by director David Zucker's implosive work, as he's the one guy on this crew that really should know better; after all, he practically invented the modern film spoof along with his brother Jerry and cohort Jim Abrahams when the team made classics like Kentucky Fried Movie and Airplane!. Perhaps he wasn't the 'brains' of the outfit.
I suppose my biggest problem with the film, and in turn all films in of its ilk, is that I fail to see the point in spoofing such recent and irrelevant films or topics. How many of us are going to remember the 2005 version of War of the Worlds, the American re-make of The Grudge, or even Saw in ten years, let alone find them at all relevant? And for that matter, how many of us even saw The Village? I loved Spielberg's War of the Worlds, but let's be realistic, it wasn't his most memorable picture. I'll concede that black, flowing ghost hair, and Tom Cruise's much mooted Opera freak-out have probably entered the collective zeitgeist, but who cares about a film that's dated before its five month DVD turnaround?
Spoofing broad, engraved subjects makes sense, and some spoofs are truly timeless. For instance, I'm sure that Young Frankenstein and original Looney Tunes shorts will forever prove amusing to countless generations, as will Zucker's original Airplane. One could argue that these films and shorts were made in the hopes of creating some kind of art. Though Warhol fanatics may argue that all product is art when labelled so, I'm pretty sure that all of us, lovers and detractors alike, can agree that Scary Movies 2-4 were made in the pure pursuit of the almighty dollar, not as relevant works of art.
This creates a conundrum for me as an honest reviewer—how can I honestly critique this eighty-three minute commercial? Basically these things are released entirely critic-proof (with a few idiotic exceptions), and I'd even hazard to guess that in the eyes of their fans they couldn't possibly do any wrong. I could rant all day about how this film wasted an hour and twenty-three minutes of my life, and how I wanted to simply stop the disc, throw it out the window and tell the Weinstein Company I never received it and thus couldn't complete my review, but what would be the point. The folks who enjoyed this dreck will still enjoy it, and the creators least of all will give a rodent's fundament what I think on the way to the bank. And frankly the whole thing makes me feel conceited and arrogant in my personal tastes.
I guess it all goes back to the fact that I just don't get it.
Scary Movie 4 was filmed using the same HD cameras Bryan Singer used on the set of Superman Returns. The HD photography is sharp, but on a standard definition set can look slightly off during movement. It's hard to describe, but there is something 'different' about it. Even though I hated the film, I must admit this transfer's near-perfection. The cinematography isn't very imaginative, but it is colourful and gave my set a nice workout. There is little to no artefacting, nor did I encounter any major compression problems.
There's really nothing here to get excited about, and I'm actually surprised that Zucker and company haven't found a way to make surround sound funny. There are a few War of the Worlds inspired set pieces, but the audio is stilted and weak. I understand that Zucker didn't want the Tr-iPods to be frightening like they were in Spielberg's film, but when coupled with the (purposefully?) weak special visual effects, these sound effects come across as bargain basement. Music tracks fare better, and the awful hip-hop gives the LFE something to do.
I had this great line planned for my impending audio commentary review of Scary Movie 4—'The only thing worse then listening to a bad joke is listening to someone laugh at their own bad joke.' I held it in my hand and clutched it close to my heart as I started the commentary, featuring director David Zucker, producer Bob Weiss, and co-writer Craig Mazin, but as the track progressed I realized that the creators weren't really all that fond of the film either. For the most part they tell funnier stories about their pasts, even referring specifically to the better jokes of Zucker's earlier films. The track ends with Zucker thanking the viewer for purchasing the disc, followed closely by Mazin shouting a resounding 'sucker'. It's all too painfully appropriate.
The deleted scenes have all been removed for pacing, and it's obvious. If only Zucker had seen fit to remove a few more scenes, because even at eighty-three minutes the film is sluggish. I really expected some kind of King Kong joke here, but still didn't get one. Why is he on the cover, and what movie preview did I see a spoof of Kong in?
The rest of the disc is fluff. The bloopers are exactly what one would expect—actors forgetting their lines. Sadly it's actually the funnier than anything in the film to watch Faris space out. There are a series of really short featurettes devoted mostly to Zucker butt kissing, and again, watching the aging director laugh on set is actually funnier than anything in the film. On the even less funny and even less interesting end of the spectrum are a few featurettes about the hip-hop 'stars' of the film, an elaborate interview prank played by the cast on the disc's interviewer, and a look at the film's special effects. Personally, I find the inclusion of these rappers entirely placative, but maybe that's just me. As far as the special effects go, were these people actually going for realism? I thought the shoddy CG was part of the joke, but apparently they were meant to be taken seriously. It's kind of sad actually.
I issue a challenge to the creators of the next film in the Scary Movie franchise (we all know there's going to be one): Make the next film a totally Dadaist and plot-less mess on purpose to test your audience's endurance and taste. Just film a roomful of topless women on toilets defecating and throwing bowling balls at each other for eighty minutes. I'm serious. Let's make Scary Movie 5 a work of venomous art. How long can the average person laugh at the same thing? When is flatulence officially not funny any more? When do breasts lose their titillation? Extra points if you can convince the audience to where eye-propping apparatuses like that used on Malcolm McDowell in A Clockwork Orange.

Saying Goodbye
There are players that have defined just about every era of Texas Rangers baseball, good and bad.
The first team I followed, as the Washington Senators in 1970, were known primarily for Ted Williams managing and Frank Howard hitting.
Following the move to Texas, the first Rangers teams saw the emergence of Toby Harrah, followed by Jim Sundberg and Jeff Burroughs. In '74 Fergie Jenkins came over from the Cubs and became the Rangers' first dominant pitcher.
Buddy Bell came along and was the dominant name along with Sundberg for Texas starting in '79 and going through '83.
During the early Bobby Valentine years, the names we knew were Charlie Hough, Steve Buechele and Pete Incaviglia. In 1989, Nolan Ryan became the face of the Rangers, where he remained a fixture through 1993.
In '91, the golden era of Texas Rangers baseball began with Ivan Rodriguez, Juan Gonzalez and Rafael Palmeiro fronting the team that would win three AL West crowns in four years from 1996-1999.
Gonzalez was the first to leave in 2000. At the end of that year came the next in line, Michael Young.
Young was the second guy in the trade with the Blue Jays that sent Esteban Loaiza to Toronto. Pitcher Darwin Cubillan was supposed to be the main piece. He appeared in all of 13 games in a Rangers uniform, compiling a 10.70 ERA before being sent packing to Montreal.
The second guy in the trade would only go on to play in 1,823 games for the Rangers, the most in club history. He also leaves Texas as the Rangers' all-time leader in at-bats, runs, hits, doubles, triples and total bases. He was selected to seven All-Star teams, second only to Ivan Rodriguez in club history. He was named the Rangers Player of the Year five times, tying him with Juan Gonzalez for the most in club history.
Here's the funny thing about Michael Young. He has never been the most important player in the Rangers' line-up. His first couple of years, he had Palmeiro and Pudge right there with him. After they departed, there was Alex Rodriguez taking up the mantle. When A-Rod left, there was still Mark Teixeira and Hank Blalock. They would then be supplanted by Josh Hamilton, Adrian Beltre and Nelson Cruz.
All those players who provided the real pop. Yet Michael Young was anointed as the face of the franchise. Part of that is certainly due to longevity and continuity. Through all the changes, Young was a constant. But it was more than that. Every manager he's ever played for has admired his work ethic, his professionalism. Ron Washington admits the running of the Texas clubhouse was a job he ceded to Michael Young.
The past few years he had major detractors, mainly because he twice demanded a trade. He volunteered to move to shortstop. He didn't volunteer to be the third baseman. Two years after that he didn't volunteer to become the DH/super utility guy. His relationship with General Manager Jon Daniels was strained, virtually non-existent at the end. Once he put on the uniform, though, Michael Young was all business. In the clubhouse and on the field, he didn't complain about his role. Once the season began, he did his job to the best of his ability. Could I do that if I was asked to take a role I didn't want? I seriously doubt it.
Young had a farewell press conference yesterday. He said in retrospect, he should have been more accepting of his move to third base but doesn't regret anything about his displeasure in moving to DH. He looks at the move to Philadelphia as a new challenge and that he loves new challenges.
My guess is he will have a rebound year as the Phillies third baseman. He won't be great defensively, but he'll get his average back towards the .300 mark and he'll hit for more power than he did in 2012. I'm also willing to bet Charlie Manuel and every Phillies player to a man will, by the end of the season, say he has made a positive difference in their club's fortunes, no matter what his WAR might indicate.
I also predict that after his playing career is over and Jon Daniels has moved on to his next opportunity, Michael Young will return to the Rangers, be it in the front office, as a coach or even Rangers manager. And when that day comes, even his detractors will welcome him back with open arms.
I'm looking forward to seeing the development of Jurickson Profar, Leonys Martin and Mike Olt over the next few years. Maybe they'll be the ones who finally deliver that long sought after World Championship. If they do, I'll be ecstatic. I'll also think about Michael Young and wish he was there to see the dream come to fruition.

You enter the Brancacci Chapel through an exquisite cloister, go up a flight of stairs, and find yourself face to face with Masaccio's masterpieces, Scenes from the Life of Saint Peter, and the Original Sin. And masterpieces they are.
Beginning on the right hand side, there is the Temptation of Eve by Masolino (compare the figures and their expressions with those of Masaccio's expulsion from the Garden of Eden, to the left). The large upper right panel shows Saint Peter healing a cripple, by Masolino, though the cripple may be Masaccio's; the background, an accurate rendition of Florence, is almost certainly Masaccio.
The panel below it, the Crucifixion of Saint Peter, is by Filippino Lippi; the first person in profile on the left side of the fresco is Botticelli, Filippino's teacher.
The panels on the back wall, which were separated by the altar that is presently in the centre of the chapel (it was moved during the restoration) show Saint Peter preaching (upper left), by Masolino, and Peter baptizing converts, Peter berating Ananias for withholding personal property when the community was giving alms (the man falls dead at his feet), and Peter's shadow healing the sick, all by Masaccio; again, his figures are far more vigorous and lifelike than Masolino's.
The upper left hand panel is Masaccio's masterful rendition of Jesus' command, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's (Mat. 22.21), with Jesus indicating the lake, and Peter plucking the coin from the fish's mouth and giving it to the tax collector.
According to Vasari, the young man on the extreme right of the central group of figures is Masaccio's self-portrait. The panel below, Saint Peter Enthroned, and Saint Peter reviving Theophile, Prince of Antioch, was Masaccio's last; and was finished by Filippino Lippi.
The rightmost of the three people kneeling before Saint Peter Enthroned is said to be Brunelleschi. Filippino completed the decorative elements of the scene, and did the revived prince and the people to the right of him.
The two panels below the Temptation and Expulsion are Filippino's: Peter visited by Paul while in jail, supposedly based on Masaccio's drawing, and the Angel freeing Peter.

Turns out that when they're not jumping up and down waving their arms for attention towards their ratings metrics, some of the guys at Pro Football Focus know a lot about football.
Love this piece on Sherman. It's not just his tools, but his tape study, spatial awareness, and understanding of coverage and receivers' body language that makes him so good. Makes him sound like a long-term stud for us.

Building a JTAG Interface
The best way to speed up development, in my opinion, is to make jtag access available to as many people as possible. With Openwince's JTAG tools and one of these cables a user can flash anything to their Kuro and still have the ability to recover. It is this safety net that allows developers to try things that otherwise could render their Kuro useless (except in the case of needing a doorstop). In the time since JTAG access has been made easily available the following list of items has been accomplished. There are more success stories that aren't listed here:
1. Multiple versions of U-boot for the Kuro and Kuro HG has been tested and have had the bugs worked out with no permanent bricks (and there were several bricks including my own Kuro). These firmwares would likely not have been tested without access to JTAG for recovery.
2. A replacement firmware has been released with 2.4.31 kernel that accepts arguments from the bootloader without requiring NGNG in flash to boot to EM mode.
3. Many damaged boxes which would otherwise be completely useless have been repaired.
Building a JTAG interface cable can be accomplished in part of an evening by following these instructions. I have built 10 of these and assembled 12 kits with all parts and an etched predrilled circuit board which we are making available to the community in an effort to spur more development. There is a thread in the Forums for discussion and announcememnts regarding the availability of these kits. If you are interested in assembling and distributing kits or have any assembly questions, please post a note in the forum thread. If not, then I must assume you are here to assemble your kit, so lets get started.

Parts Required
In order to build one of these you will need the following parts:
|Part Description
|Mouser Part Number
|100 ohm 1/8 watt resistor
|Shown on component layout as 100. First 4 of 5 stripes are Brown Black Black Brown
|2.2 K 1/8 watt resistor
|Shown on component layout as 2.2K. First 4 of 5 stripes are Red Red Black Brown

|Printed Circuit Board
|circuit board
|Order from www.expressPCB.COM. 21 boards total for $59. Single boards may also be available from one of the wiki maintainers. Board revised to attach solder side of D25 to ground. Revised board says "kuro ver 2" on it.
All of the parts save the circuit board can be obtained from Mouser Electronics. They are also available at many electrical parts suppliers. The circuit board can be purchased in quantities of 21 from www.expressPCB.com. Kits and/or single circuit boards may also be made available by one of the maintainers here.
Tools Required
15 watt (maximum) soldering iron
Diagonal cutters for trimming component leads
Thin rosin core 60/40 solder (included in kit)
Wire strippers.
Three hands (a small vice will also work)
Solder the D25 Connector
Solder the D25 connector to the circuit board. pay close attention to the orientation of the circuit board and the D25 connector. Note in the photo in the following step the side of the D25 connector with 13 pins is facing up and pin 2 (on the right in the photo) is aligned with the first pad on the circuit board. Also note that the circuit board is double sided and you must make sure that you have the same side facing up as shown in the photo below. In some cases the board may have been cut a bit short on the D25 connector edge. Just line up the ends of the pins with the top of the solder pads on the circuit board and solder it in place. A good example of this condition is in the "Install the 2.2K resistors" photo. Also note that aside from soldering the D25 plug on both sides of the board, all soldering is done on the bottom of the board.
Install the 100 OHM Resistors
Using the Component Layout, populate the board with the 100 Ohm resistors. You can also determine the locations of the 100 Ohm resistors in the photo below. Start by folding one of the leads of each resistor over so it makes a U shape (the resistor should stand on its end on the circuit board). Insert one resistor at a time, solder it in place, and trim the leads before moving on to the next resistor. If you do not insert, solder, and trim the leads one at a time you will find that there is very little space for the soldering iron and solder to fit in between the leads of the resistors. When you have soldered all 5 resistors in place and trimmed the leads move on to the next step. Note that soldering has been completed in the below photo, you just can't see the solder as it is on the opposite side of the board.
Install the 2.2K Resistors
Populate the board with the 2.2K resistors. You can determine the locations of the 2.2K resistors using the Component Layout and the photo below. Again, start by folding one of the leads of each resistor over so it makes a U shape and insert, solder them in place, and trim the leads one at a time. When you have soldered all 4 resistors in place and trimmed all the leads move on to the next step.
Install the Integrated Circuit
Solder the 74hc125 Quad Buffer in place. The square pad on the circuit board marks pin one of the integrated circuit. If you are looking at the chip from the top (pins down) with the notch on the left side (as oriented in the photo below), pin one is at the lower left. Some chips may have pin one marked with a small dot. Solder two opposite corner pins to hold the chip in place and then go back and solder the remaining pins in place.
Install the 0.1uF Capacitor
Insert the 0.1uF capacitor in the location shown in the photo below and on the Component Layout and solder it in place. The Capacitor is polarized (it has a positive and negative lead). The lead marked with a plus should be inserted into the hole that is closest to pin 14 of IC1.
Assemble the IDE Connector
Next, assemble the IDE connector to 6 strands of wire. An old hard drive or floppy drive cable works well as a source for the wire. connect the wire to pins 1, 3, 6, 7, 9, and 16 on the IDE connector. If you use a cable that doesn't have a red wire (marking pin 1) make sure to mark pin one on the connector so you don't connect it to your Kuro backwards. A red permanent marker works well for this. Note that I have made a mistake which is shown in the photo. The wire shown on pin 13 was later moved to pin 9. The wire connection points for the pins on the IDE Connector are arranged as follows:
2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15
Attach the IDE connector Cable
Attach the other ends of the wire from the IDE connector to the circuit board using the Component Layout to locate the correct pads for the IDE connector wires. The pads are marked J1, J3, J6, J7, J9, and J16 on the Component Layout. It is a bit spaghetti like so take your time with this step. Making the wrong connection will definately cause problems and possibly bricking.
Inspect the Assembled Circuit
Inspect the entire circuit board for short circuits and cold solder joints. You can reheat any (or all) of the solder joints and make sure all of the connections are good and clean.
Button up the Cable
Place the circuit board and connector in the connector hood and close the hood making sure to screw down the strain relief over the ribbon cable. It may be necessary to trim the corners of the board off to enable it to fit inside the hood. A pair of diagonal cutters works well for this.
Install the Header in the Kuro
Solder the double pin header into position on the Kuro mother board. In some cases the manufacturer of the Kuro filled the jumper holes for the JTAG header with solder. Removing the solder from the jumper holes on the Kuro board is simple.
Press the tip of a 15 watt soldering iron with a good sharp tip (if the tip isn't sharp use a file to sharpen it and tin the tip) into the hole from the back of the circuit board.
When the solder is flowing nicely, get your mouth about 1" from the front of the board and blow hard into the wet solder while at the same time removing the solder iron. You will blow the solder out of the hole leaving a hole that you can easily put a wire through.
The header should be soldered in place so the jtag cable can be connected on the side of the board with the writing that indicated the pin numbers for the connector and r67 location. Access to the installed header requires removing of the 4 screws that hold the motherboard in place.
You will also need to bridge R67 with a small piece of wire in order for the interface cable to draw operating voltage from the Kuro.

Barbara "Joan" Muckelbauer
Barbara "Joan" Muckelbauer of Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., passed away surrounded by her family on Sunday, March 3, 2013 at U of M Hospital in Ann Arbor, Mich. She was born on December 5, 1934 in Brantford, Ontario to Arthur and Irene Pennell.
Joan graduated as a nurse from Montreal General Hospital in the class of 1956. Joan also earned a Bachelors Degree in Sociology from Lake Superior State University in 1992.
As a young nurse, she took a job in a remote native village in Frobisher Bay, North West Territories. While in the Arctic, she met Robert Muckelbauer. They married on December 30, 1961 in Brooklyn, NY. They raised five children, while moving around the US with the USAF and eventually settled in Sault Ste. Marie.
Joan traveled throughout her life, with what started as a two week trip to Europe and was extended by a year to work at a clinic in Vevey, Switzerland. Her recent adventures took her to India, Russia, Newfoundland, Poland, Greece, and Japan.
Joan retired as a Registered Nurse from Kinross Correctional Facility in 1995. During her retirement she became an avid artist learning and mastering her craft, specializing in hooked rugs. She was also actively involved with Olive Craig Art Gallery, the Sault Animal Shelter and the War Memorial Hospital Auxiliary.
Joan also became an avid mandolin player and loved playing duets with Bob to the delight of their pugs Wanda and Wendell.
Surviving Joan are her husband of over 51 years, Robert Muckelbauer of Sault Ste. Marie; sons: Arthur Muckelbauer (Yana) of Ann Arbor; Andy Muckelbauer (Jodi) of Moorestown, N.J.; and Don Muckelbauer of Anderson, Ind.; daughters: Tracy Muckelbauer (Brian Berry) of Mount Tremper, N.Y.; and Denise Mason of Brimley; granddaughters: Lauren, Tracee, Alexis, Shauna, Kelsey, and Mia; grandsons: Cal and Donald; great-grandson Aaiden and nephew David Anderson.
Joan was preceded in death by her parents and her sister Geraldine Anderson.
Joan was the love of my life, my friend and companion for over 50 years. Every where I look I see her smiling face or involved in her passion, rug hooking. I have no doubt that she is already teaching classes to the angels in heaven. One day she will again teach me.
A memorial will be held this summer. Donations may be made to the Chippewa County Animal Shelter or the Olive Craig Gallery.

Eva Jane Stork
Eva Jane Stork completed a long journey and slipped peacefully from this earth to be welcomed home by her Lord and family on March 27, 2013. Born October 7, 1922 and raised in Sault Sainte Marie, Eva lived most of her adult life in Sierra Madre, Calif., but eventually returned to her place of birth. This is where, surrounded by the comfort and love of her family, her life of this earth drew to a close.
Eva was predeceased by her husband Richard (Dick) Stork and son, Richard Stork. She was the daughter of the late Sarah and Alfred Cook and sister of Virginia Malette and the late Clayton Cook.
Eva was the very special aunt of Sandra Wallenius and Robert Cook and Great-Aunt to Dr. Samantha Wallenius and Lara Cook. She leaves behind several dear friends in California, especially Tom Curtiss Jr., Esq.
The family is particularly grateful for the kind, compassionate and skillful care of Dr. Thalik Chander and the staff at War Memorial Hospital. Special thanks and much appreciation is extended to the dedicated staff at Freighter View Assisted Living facility, particularly those who cared for Eva over the last seven years, including several of the "original" staff, Cindy, Rachel, Wanita and Debby. Freighter View became Eva's home, and she was always treated with the utmost dignity and respect.
Gone from my sight- Henry Van Dyke
I am standing upon the seashore.
A ship, at my side, spreads her white sails to the moving breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength.
I stand and watch her until, at length, she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.
Then, someone at my side says, "There, she is gone"
Gone where?
Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast, hull and spar as she was when she left my side.
And, she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.
Her diminished size is in me — not in her.
And, just at the moment when someone says, "There, she is gone," there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout, "Here she comes!"
And that is dying…
Cremation has taken place, with arrangements entrusted to C.S. Mulder Funeral Home. At Eva's request, a Funeral service will not be conducted. A private memorial ceremony will be held in California. Memorial donations may be made to Hospice of the EUP. Condolences may be left online at www.csmulder.com

Even if they can't be there in person, Nebraska 4th graders are invited to take part in the 146th Statehood Birthday Party. For the first time, the event will be streamed live on the internet.
Even if they can't be there in person, Nebraska 4th graders are invited to take part in the 146th Statehood Birthday Party. For the first time, the event will be streamed live on the internet.
The event itself will take place at the Durham Museum, March 12 at 9:30 a.m. More than 400 4th grade students and their teachers from Omaha Public, Omaha Catholic and Bellevue Schools will be entertained by Cactus Jack (Secretary of State John Gale), Deadwood Dave (Chris Sayre), Sodbuster Sam (David Seay) and Julia Jubilee (Julia Gale). This is the 12th year for this event. In the past, Gale, Sayre and Seay have traveled from city to city with their show entertaining 3,000 students a year. They play a variety of instruments, sing songs and quiz students about their knowledge of state history.
"We are delighted to be hosted by Durham Museum for this event," said Gale. "The Durham has been a great partner of ours over the years. To use their very modern technology is a wonderful gesture on the part of the museum."
This year, with the assistance of Durham Museum, students from five other schools will also be taking part, through distance learning technology. Those schools are: Bayard, Pleasanton, Wahoo, Superior, and Plainview.
"At a time when we are trying to do more with less when it comes to our state budgets, the ability for us to use such technology is a real bonus," said Gale. "It allows us to achieve our goal of reaching out to Nebraska's youth, and in a way that possibly exceeds what we were able to do before."
In addition to the five distance learning schools, the Statehood Birthday Party will be streamed live across the state, courtesy of a link set up through ESU10.
"That bridge will be open and ready for teachers to use starting at 9:15 a.m.," explained Mike Irwin, distance learning coordinator for the Durham Museum.
To dial in, teachers should complete the following three steps.

CONWAY, Ark. — Nicholls State University junior guard KK Babin scored a career-high 32 points, including 14 of the Colonels' last 15 points, in a 68-62 win over Central Arkansas on Saturday at the Farris Center.
CONWAY, Ark. — Nicholls State University junior guard KK Babin scored a career-high 32 points, including 14 of the Colonels' last 15 points, in a 68-62 win over Central Arkansas on Saturday at the Farris Center.
With the win, Nicholls improves to 13-8 and 5-5 in the Southland Conference. The win was the first for the Colonels at Central Arkansas (13-8, 6-4 in conference) in seven tries. The Sugar Bears have now lost two straight at home after winning 22 in a row.
Babin lit up the scoreboard for 18 points in the first half, making 4-of-4 from behind the 3-point line as Nicholls led 41-29 at the break. The Colonels went on runs of 8-0 and 11-0 in the first half to lead by as much as 17.
In the second half, the Sugar Bears gradually chipped away at the deficit, cutting the lead to single digits after Megan Herbert knocked down a pair of free throws at the 12:25 mark, making the score 53-45. But the Colonels were stuck on 53 for over seven minutes as Central Arkansas clawed back to make it a one-point game.
Babin broke the drought with a jumper at the seven-minute mark and put Nicholls up 60-56 after another 3-pointer with less than five minutes remaining.
Central Arkansas scored the game's next four points to tie the game at 60 before Babin sank her sixth 3-pointer to give Nicholls the lead for good. On the Colonels' next possession, she sank a jumper to make it a five-point game before Nicholls went on to win, 68-62.
Babin finished 11-of-18 from the field and 6-of-7 behind the 3-point line, while adding six assists and three steals. The six 3-pointers tied her career-high, set last season against Belhaven.
Emani White sparked Nicholls off the bench, scoring 10 points with two 3-pointers and three assists. LiAnn McCarthy rounded out the leading scorers with 10 points, with Jasmine Scott adding eight points and seven rebounds.
Saturday's win was the Colonels' first over the Sugar Bears since last season's SLC tournament.
At Conway, Ark., Fred Hunter scored a career-high 36 points and collected 11 rebounds, but it wasn't enough as Central Arkansas held on for the three-point win on Saturday.
Nicholls (6-14, 5-5 in the SLC) led 47-43 at halftime, but Central Arkansas (9-11, 4-6 in the SLC) outscored the Colonels 36-29 in the second half for the win.
The Bears led by as many as 10 points late in the second half before Eric Hunter scored six straight points to get Nicholls within 75-71 with 1:45 remaining. Nicholls' Amin Torres sank a 3-pointer to make it it 78-76 with 12 seconds left, and after a free throw by Robert Crawford, Torres (10 points) had a chance to tie from behind the arc with two seconds left but missed.
Crawford led Central Arkansas with 19 points, and Jordan Harks chipped in 13. Central Arkansas' leading scorer Jarvis Garner did not play for Central Arkansas while serving the second game of a two-game suspension for breaking team rules.
Dantrell Turner added 11 rebounds for the Colonels.

A Morris Plains pharmaceutical manufacturing site will stay in operation under new ownership.
Dendreon Corp. today announced the sale of a 173,100-square-foot immunotherapy manufacturing facility to Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corp. for $43 million in cash.
As part of the deal, Novartis will retain about 100 employees at the site, nearly half of the existing work force.
"It actually fits in with the restructuring plan we announced back in July," said Christine Mikail, executive vice president for corporate development at Dendreon.
In July, the Seattle-based firm said it would close the Morris Plains plant and consolidate the manufacturing of its prostate cancer drug Provenge at existing plants in California and Georgia.
Mikail said Dendreon had "more than one interested party" inquire about the Morris Plains plant, but said Novartis was the best fit, in part because Novartis in August entered into a research and licensing agreement with the University of Pennsylvania to study and commercialize cellular immunotherapies.
Novartis spokeswoman Julie Masow said the plant will be used to "support clinical and commercial production of potential new products/personalized cell therapies" that come out of the Novartis-Penn collaboration. The first such therapy, known at CTL019, is the subject of a pilot clinical trial at Penn, Masow said.
Dendreon will continue to have a presence in New Jersey. Mikail and Chairman and CEO John H. Johnson work out of the firm's Bridgewater office, and the state also is home to Dendreon's commercial group.
Asked about future hiring plans for the site, Masow did not give specifics.
"To manage the future capacity and volume needs, Novartis intends to build on the strong foundation and know-how at the site," she said. "The current plan is to retain nearly half of the existing employees, as they have the experience with the production of human cell therapy products, including the entire product end-to-end process."

This will be the last time Santa visits Blake
e's 10 now. It is time to crush all of his hopes and dreams.
Today is my son Blake's 10th birthday. It is also the day we are celebrating Christmas as a family because our other celebrations include a pair of eight-hour round trip drives into Oklahoma and there is no way I am hauling all of the boys' presents back and forth.
So like other years, Santa has been asked to come to our house a little early. He always does. Santa is nice like that.
But this will be the last time Santa visits Blake. For that matter, the goofy little Elf on the Shelf is going to have the magic kicked out of him too.
When I sit Blake down to have the first of many coming of age talks to explain that there is no Santa Claus and Elf on the Shelf is also merely a tool to make Christmas fun for kids and their parents, I don't think he will be shocked.
He goes to school with all of the soulless little joy thieves who have told him for years about how Santa isn't real. These little punks have also made sure to tell him his mother is moving the Elf on the Shelf and he isn't going back and forth to the North Pole every night.
These will be the same people he works with who tell him when he is having a bad hair day or how he looks like he has gained weight. Some people love to bring others down – and trust me, it starts young.
So Blake knows. But he has continued to believe despite his disbelief.
Why wouldn't he? If you believe, Santa brings you video games, and other toys you want. His Elf has been a lot of fun too.
He tries to keep his belief alive. He saw some videos on youtube.com where people had animated an Elf on the Shelf and "proved" they came alive at night. Of course, he also found his mom's web history and saw where she had looked up fun ideas for what the Elf could do that would keep the magic happening. It is hard to overcome evidence.
It will be hard on my wife because she has been playing the role of Santa and Elf on the Shelf for years. She wraps trees in toilet paper and positions the elves in all kinds of crazy scenarios to entertain the boys. She shops for Santa and fills stockings and does all of the real work.
I help play the role of Santa too, though. I eat iced sugar cookies and drink the milk. I even remember to leave one cookie on the plate with a "Santa bite mark" in it.
That's hard work but I have been glad to do it.
But Blake is now asking direct questions like, "Mom, are you the one moving the Elf every night?" and, "Dad, is Santa really real."
He even asked me why all the hair on my beard has turned white since he was born but I don't think he was implying that I look like Santa.
I'm tired of lying and he knows anyway. So Saturday afternoon when the fun of one last visit from Santa has tapered off, I will let him see behind the curtain.
I will explain what has been done to keep the myth alive and I will also explain that we did it to give him joy and increase the fun of the season.
I will also invite him to avoid being a joy thief like many of his classmates and have him join the team to keep the magic alive for Dawit.
After all, kids aren't the only ones who love Santa. You know, "they know that Santa's on his way, He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh. And every mother's child is gonna spy to see if Reindeer really know how to fly."
Blake knows a lot now but after Saturday, he will know everything. In some ways it is sad leaving those childhood milestones in the dust.
But it is equally exciting seeing the fine young man those 10 magical years have produced.

The Nature of our Arguments and the Christian Worldview
The circular nature of our debates goes something like this: A believer may begin by quoting the Bible to us, like John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
So we pick on one of the issues in the quote, and we may say something like, "I see no reason for God to condemn us for our sins. The punishment does not fit the crime." And the debate begins.
The believer may argue that our sins do indeed deserve eternal condemnation because they are an offense against an infinite God.
Then we may respond that hell is such a terrible punishment no civilized person would punish their worst enemy by casting them into hell.
The believer will probably respond that people in hell prefer to be there than in the light and glory of God in heaven.
We might ask why God ever gave us free will in the first place if people end up in hell.
Believers might respond that God wants people who freely worship him.
Non-believer: Besides, it has been shown that there was a long process of transmission of the texts of the Bible along with a long process of canonization that we cannot really know what the Bible truly says, and if so, why do you believe it?
Believer: Because God guided this process perfectly behind the scenes.
Non-believer: How do you know God exists in the first place?
Believer: There are some strong philosophical arguments for the existence of God.
Non-believer: No, all of them have holes in them.
Believer: But they add up cumulatively to the existence of the God of the Bible, besides, there is very strong evidence for the resurrection of Jesus which confirms both that God exists and that the Bible is God's word.
Non-believer: No, the evidence for the resurrection is very weak coming from an ancient superstitious world.
Believer: The rest of the ancient world was indeed superstitious, but early Christians were different and based their beliefs upon evidence. And Jesus died on the cross for my sins to I can be saved and rose again.
Non-believer: I see no way that a human sacrifice can do anything to save me from my sins.
Believer: Jesus took upon himself the punishment for your sins so you can be forgiven.
Non-believer: Then what about those who have never heard?
Believer: God knows their hearts.
Non-believer: What about all of the intense suffering in the world?
Believer: God gave us free will, and even if I cannot say why there is so much suffering, God knows the reason why, and I trust him.
Non-believer: Why do you trust God when it comes to all of this?
Believer: Because the Bible is true and is confirmed by arguments for God's existence and the resurrection of Jesus.
Okay? This is the nature of our debates, and it goes round and round.
Here's the rub. We are dealing with a whole worldview. Worldviews serve as a set of control beliefs that reinforce one another. When an argument is weak on one issue the Christian can lean upon other background beliefs to support the weaknesses in any one particular issue we're speaking about. But we can only speak of one issue at a time! We cannot effectively deal with all of the issues of the whole Christian worldview.
That's why I wrote my book. It deals with all of the major issues of the Christian worldview. The Christian who has a hard time defending hell who must punt to a separate issue, like the omniscience of God, or the resurrection, will find those other issues dealt with in that same book. In my opinion we cannot effectively deal with the whole Christian worldview unless the Christian is willing to read up on all of the issues in a skeptical book like mine.
So round and round we go. Where we stop nobody knows.
Christian, if I hadn't written my book, I would still highly recommend it. If you seriously want to deal with the whole range of issues you must defend, then I challenge you to get it and read it. You will not have the option of retreating to background beliefs to support your other beliefs, because they are all dealt with in my one book.
I dare you. If you think your faith is on solid ground then you have nothing to lose. If you can read my book and your faith becomes stronger, then I have helped you. If your faith falters then your faith wasn't worth having in the first place. Think about it, there is nothing to lose. And you will learn a few things in the process, no matter what you conclude when you're done with it.

Three members of a family who left Tecumseh one week ago for a move to Wisconsin were killed in a traffic accident on an icy highway in that state Thursday. Locally, many of their friends are now mourning the loss while keeping the family's surviving child in their thoughts and prayers.
Three members of a family who left Tecumseh one week ago for a move to Wisconsin were killed in a traffic accident on an icy highway in that state Thursday. Locally, many of their friends are now mourning the loss while keeping the family's surviving child in their thoughts and prayers.
The Wisconsin State Patrol said Roy and Jenny Kato, both 34, and their 13-year-old son, Joshua, were killed when their vehicle slid into the path of another vehicle near Maine, Wis., the Associated Press reported. The couple's 5-year-old daughter, Brooke, suffered non-life threatening injuries and was hospitalized.
Julie Bivens, a family friend from Tecumseh, said the Kato family was in the process of moving back to Wisconsin, where Roy Kato was transferring from his job at Shawnee's Oldcastle Glass to another facility in Wisconsin.
She said his job originally brought the family to this area about four years ago and they were well known and loved in the community.
"They were very good Christians — they're going to be missed," Bivens said. "They were loved by everybody who knew them."
Bivens said Joshua, who was an eighth grader at Tecumseh Middle School, played soccer for both the Shawnee Soccer Association and Tecumseh Association. Brooke also played soccer in Tecumseh and was in kindergarten at Krouch Early Childhood Center, she said.
The family also was very involved with Scouting, with Joshua starting as a Cub Scout.
"They were one of the closest families I've ever seen," said Elizabeth Williams, who knew the family through Scouting. "They were the kind of people who would give you the shirt off their back, even if it meant they had to do without."
Bivens, who described Brooke as both a "momma's girl and a brother's girl," said she can't imagine what the 5-year-old is going through after losing her entire family in such a tragic accident.
Williams agreed, adding Joshua would have done anything for his little sister, even giving his life for her. Williams said their deaths have been hard to accept.
"We all talked to them just the other day," she said.
While the Kato family lived in Oklahoma, they were active in Rock Creek Baptist Church, Williams said, where Jenny Kato also taught the second grade Bible class.
"They were genuinely nice people," Williams said.
Clorisa Brown, who knew the family, said their deaths have affected the Scouting community in Shawnee, Tecumseh and Bethel.
"It has really rocked us hard," she said about the news. "They were an all around great family."
Bivens, who has had contact with some of family's relatives in the Wisconsin and Michigan areas, said Brooke is reportedly staying with her grandparents.
The driver of the other vehicle involved in the crash was also hospitalized with unknown injuries, the patrol reported.
A funeral service for the Kato family members has been scheduled Tuesday in Wisconsin, Bivens said.
Relatives are working to set up a trust fund for Brooke Kato, she added.
