BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - Ryan Perrilloux's off-field troubles have taken him out of LSU's quarterback rotation again -- this time for at least a week.
Coach Les Miles says Perrilloux and reserve linebacker Derrick Odom are being punished for their involvement in a nightclub brawl over the weekend. They sat out practice today while the third-ranked Tigers prepared for a highly anticipated showdown against former coach Nick Saban at Number 17 Alabama, and Miles
said he didn't expect the two to play on Saturday.
Miles says they will prepare to play without them.
That had to be good news for Saban, who apparently no longer has to concern himself with the option threat Perrilloux has posed this season when Miles has subbed him for starter Matt Flynn.
Miles said backup quarterbacks Andrew Hatch and Jarrett Lee could play Perrilloux's role.
Regardless, it's bad timing for Miles, who needs to beat Alabama (6-2, 4-1 Southeastern Conference) to give LSU (7-1, 4-1) the inside track to win the SEC West.
As for Perrilloux and Odom, missing what may be one of the biggest games of the year should be the least of their worries. Both players' status on the team had already been threatened by troubles with the law.
Miles suspended Perrilloux for three months this year after police cited the 20-year-old for using his older brother's ID card to get into a Baton Rouge casino, where the minimum age of admission is 21. Perrilloux has also been listed as a "person of
interest" in a federal counterfeiting probe.
Miles suspended Odom for three weeks in August, after the linebacker was arrested after allegedly damaging another student's vehicle and threatening the student.
No one was arrested in the fight early Friday near campus.

About Town
Chinese film screened tonight at the library
Due to snow on March 2, the Friends of the Jamestown Library rescheduled their third and final film in their 2006 Foreign Film Series for tonight.
"Not One Less" will be shown at 7 p.m.
"'Not One Less' is not only about the poor in China's remote rural areas, but could be dedicated to them; we sense that Zhang Yimou, the director of such sophisticated films as 'Raise the Red Lantern' and 'Shanghai Triad, is returning here to memories of the years from 1968 to 1978, when he worked as a rural laborer under the Cultural Revolution. His story is simple, unadorned, direct. Only the margins are complicated." -from a review by Roger Ebert
Directed by Zhang Yimou, written by Shi Xiangsheng, the film's running is 100 minutes. Rated G, it is in Chinese With English subtitles.
The movie is free and open to the public.
Free program on Lyme disease
On Tuesday, April 11, Thomas E. Forschner, the executive director of the Lyme Disease Foundation, will present a program on Lyme disease at the Jamestown library at 7 p.m.
Forschner is the co-founder of the Lyme Disease Foundation and has donated over 3,000 hours of volunteer service to the organization. Executive director since 1990, he also has 24 years of business experience. He decided to found the foundation in order to find the answers to a disease that was killing his son Jamie.
Although Jamie died in 1991, Forschner continues his work at the foundation knowing that he is helping to make the world a healthier, safer place.
The Lyme Disease Foundation is the premier non-profit organization dedicated to finding solutions for tick-borne disorders. Its board of directors includes the discoverer of the Lyme bacterium, as well as distinguished physicians, a retired congressman, and researchers. Its headquarters are in Tolland, Conn.
Forschner has lectured extensively on Lyme disease throughout the country. He will present this program free of charge to all Jamestown residents.

The complex and poorly researched E. coli O157:H7 issue, although mostly a threat in leafy vegetables, should be a concern for the California wine grape industry also, says a Monterey County farm advisor.
Steve Koike, who specializes in plant pathology, closely monitors E. coli in vegetables, and he recently warned Monterey County grape growers at a seminar in Salinas that wildlife vectors of the disease could possibly be linked to their vineyards.
The habitat of vineyards and the grapes themselves are attractive to wildlife. "That means," he said, "that if wild animals carrying E. coli were present they could possibly drop it in your fields. I'm not saying that does happen, but research down the road will have to resolve the question."
Given the current "hot, tense, and problematic" nature of the E. coli issue, some people, he said, are looking for places to blame as sources of the pathogen.
For example, if E. coli were found in a lettuce field downslope from a vineyard, the vineyard might be suspect as the potential source of bacteria carried by runoff into crops.
As a defense in such a case, the grape grower would need to be able to identify which strain of the disease, if any, was present on his fields to know whether it was the same as that in the lettuce.
Produce growers, Koike explained, are under tremendous pressure from buyers and distributors to install fences to exclude larger wildlife, do testing, and take other expensive steps to provide safe food for consumers.
Meanwhile, a host of responses ranging from self-regulation by growers to deep involvement by regulatory agencies and interest groups is heightening the tension.
Adding to the controversy is the fact that E. coli has many strains, some harmful, some benign, and sophisticated tests are needed to distinguish them.
"We all want to make lettuce, spinach, and other vegetables safe for consumers, but the biological fact is these crops are grown out-of-doors and exposed to E. coli, whether it is harmful or not harmful. But until we have more research-based information, we really don't know how to give that protection," Koike said.
His advice to grape growers is to realize the complexities of E. coli and be aware of its many forms. "When you read a newspaper article about a study, be critical about the source of it. Conclusions need to be based on sound research, and hopefully we will in time be able to do that."
Particularly lacking, he said, is research on how the various strains of E. coli, which has the rare ability to reside in both animals and plants, operate in both natural settings and cultivated agriculture.
Along with the need for more sound science, Koike said, communication about the issue needs to be improved. He recalled that after the E. coli incident in spinach in the fall of 2006, governmental agencies initially gave out misleading or incomplete information.
One example: when the source of contamination was found to be in San Benito County, the area was not immediately specified, and Monterey County and the Salinas Valley were implicated.
Koike also said research agencies, such as USDA and the University of California, particularly when animal, plant, and water and soil specialties are all involved, have not necessarily communicated closely with each other.
Before the E. coli issue, it was not likely that livestock specialists would collaborate with plant pathologists. Efforts are being made, however, to improve the exchange of information between researchers and agricultural industries at local, state, and federal levels.
Koike said key elements of the mystery confronting researchers include the actual source of E. coli, how it survives, why it tends to emerge in late summer, and how it spreads.
Attempts in the popular media to apply results of any available research to the problem have been misleading, he said. One publicized theory is that the pathogen is taken up by the affected crop. Koike said that notion comes from studies done in growth chambers or greenhouses, with plants grown in non-mineral soils, not typical soils found in coastal California. Plants in the studies were exposed to "astronomically high levels" of the pathogen.
"Yes, in this setting there was some internalization of E. coli," he said, "but what's important to tell the media and the consumer is that this was a very artificial setting with very high levels of inoculum and nothing that resembled a field situation."
Unfortunately, the researcher in this study, although he acknowledged the artificial setting of the trials, did link a health threat with consumption of fresh produce, Koike said.
Moreover, Koike added, years of practical, field research in the Salinas Valley have never found any connection between E. coli and internalization in plants. Still, he said, plant pathologists and others will continue to investigate the matter.
Another question is whether E. coli is spread by flooding water and if so how long it persists and how far it goes. "I can tell you right now we don't have answers, but we believe any information should be based on field research" he said, adding that his three-year survey, with extensive testing and analyses, failed to find E. coli O157 in soil, water, creek sediment, or plant samples.
However, USDA researchers, he said, later found one sample in one year in the same geographical area. "So that brings up the question about sampling and detection sensitivity. These are questions we have to answer."
Misconceptions have emerged about E. coli being on lettuce or spinach seed, based on some findings with alfalfa seed used for sprouts. Koike said there have been rare instances of E. coli and salmonella being found on alfalfa sprouts produced in moist, growth chamber environments.
But he said there is no evidence the pathogens occur on vegetable seed and if they did, planting the seed outdoors in mineral soils would leave little likelihood of the pathogens surviving competition from other microflora in the soil.
The exact role of wildlife as potential vectors of the pathogens is not clear. Wild pigs were linked to the San Benito County spinach case, but commercial cattle also are known sources of E. coli. Fences around vegetable fields were proposed as a solution.
"We don't have enough research-based information now to justify erection of fences. And fences might keep out some animals but not others, such as rodents or birds, that might also be found to be vectors," Koike said.

Technically, it looks OK.The upper corners are too dark. There is a white halo around parts of the building. There is some flair in the upper center that doesn't seem to add value.The copyright and name don't add anything to the image. There are plenty of images of this building. It may be that your image isn't significantly different enough from some of those to earn a copyright. MAybe you don't own a coyright. While the image could get stolen, would you really be harmrf?[{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
http://couleur.deviantart.com [a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=116813\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
As to copyright, every image is copyright by its creator the moment the shutter is released. There is no need for the image to be "unique". In any case it's hard to image another image taken from this vantage point and point of view being precisely the same as another image, in the quality and direction of the light and the quality of the sky. Think about how many images of the Eiffel Tower you have seen taken with a wide-angle lens looking up through the trees at the north west footing! Each of those slightly different images is copyright by its creator. So, Lim Wan Xiong definately owns a copyright in this image.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=116953\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
>>require that a work have some original creativity to be copyrighted<<You are correct, although the test is not usually applied as rigorously as you suggest. There is a marked difference between re-interpreting and out right copying. Xiong holds copyright in this particular image, of that there is no doubt. He may be prevented from using it for much other than personal enjoyment, for as you also point out he probably doesn't have a property release from the owners of the tower. Whether or not they would choose to enforce their property rights, or whether the architects and designers would choose to enforce their copyrights in the designs is another matter.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=116978\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
The sky looks completely unnatural; the burning-in of the upper-left corner in particular is very artificial-looking and overdone. For such things, use a light brush, not a sledgehammer.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=116613\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
I have to agree with that point. This photo was originally shot out with low contrast due to glare. So I push the levels up to increase the contrast. Here's a fresh version I shot a few weeks before.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=116986\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
... you will always get people carping about how they don't like it. It's just personal taste. And the reasons why Jonathan doesn't like it, are exactly why I and it appears others do like it.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=117026\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Or carping about how they like it. If you like it, are you right thinking? And if you don't, just carping?
If you think the image is improved by the copyright thingy, that's fine. Stick one on any image you want. I just think it is not attractive or needed.
It is just personal taste. And yours is no better than anyone else's.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=117027\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Whether you like the image or not, I don't think it has much market value. If it does have a big market value, then it is much more likely this photographer would hear fro, other photographers, the building's owner and/or its architech.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=116981\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

You know them; you know their rules. Keep them away from water. Never feed them after midnight. Sunlight will kill them. These guidelines were ingrained into countless kids since Amblin Entertainment debuted The Gremlins in 1984. And this imprint is what Amblin is betting on as they consider a reboot of the creature feature franchise that seemed to die with 1990's Gremlins 2: The New Batch.
Yesterday word hit that Warner Bros is in talks with Steven Spielberg's Amblin about relaunching Gremlins, which has spurred both cheers and outrage from fans of Gizmo and the gang. Here at Cinema Blend we're divided on the issue. Sean's already exhausted from the recent rash of '80s remakes, and Kristy is optimistic about this reboot's possibilities. Below they hash it out in the Great Debate, and you can join the discussion in comments.
SEAN: Kristy, the latest news out of the unoriginal Hollywood machine seems to suggest that they are ready to remake Joe Dante's critter classic. Add this to the pile of remakes and reboots that are digging into our 1980s memories for fun and profit. Footloose, The Karate Kid, Dirty Dancing... all have been remade or are on the docket for a remake. Does this bother you as much as it does me? Or do you want to see another Gremlins?
KRISTY: Well, I totally understand the kneejerk reaction to hate on remakes, especially in the horror genre where everything from Psycho to Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Carrie had been revamped. But I actually am intrigued by the idea of a Gremlins reboot. It was the first horror movie I remember seeing, and it had a huge impact on me. I sought out all of the creature feature rip-offs that followed, including Critters and Ghoulies. And those movies were tons of fun, even when badly done. So, yeah, I'm game for Gremlins rebooted.
SEAN: Part of me wonders, whenever I hear of yet another remake of a cherished '80s property, whether ANYTHING is sacred, though. Is there a title that is brought up in a Hollywood board room for a potential reboot, that would have a studio head say, "Oh no, we can't screw with that. It's a classic." Do you think anything is hands off?
KRISTY: Well, not when it comes to producers, no. I'm not saying I don't think there are some films that no one should endeavor to remake or reboot, but I think Hollywood was built on re-creation. I mean, even in its earliest days the same stories were recast, repacked and promoted once more. I think why this reboot is bugging people is because so many '80s reboots of late have been bungled. And it seems like an insult to the original we loved, and to those of us who love it.
SEAN: Right. I think what bothers me the most is that movies that we loved from that time period, be it the '70s or '80s, made an impact on us BECAUSE they were original, or they have a fresh take and a unique voice. I'm not saying Dirty Dancing or The Karate Kid were wildly original movies. Hell, Karate Kid was Rocky, with a different fighting style! But they did their own thing, and people responded to them.
I think I've come to realize that the one group of films from that time period that are COMPLETELY off limits would be the films of John Hughes. I mean, I can't imagine anyone being OK with a Breakfast Club reboot. I think I'd burn Hollywood to the ground. And yet, The Perk of Being a Wallflower is free to borrow Hughes' honest approach to the teenage years ... and because it doesn't ape the name and characters, and does it's own thing, it succeeds as its own right. That's what I'd rather see ... an original movie that REMINDS us of Gremlins, instead of a straight-up Gremlins reboot!
KRISTY: Because we're not talking about character types or Ferris Bueller-styled rebels. We're talking about the Gremlins. They are iconic, and their image on posters is sure to attract attention far easier/faster than some sort of inspired-by beastie. It's really just rebooting a brand of monster, like Dracula, or the Wolf Man. And I have no problem with that. This could even cause a relaunching of the creature feature trend, which I'd love to see happen.
SEAN: Now THAT's interesting!
KRISTY: Of course, I'd hope filmmakers would favor practical effects over CGI creatures, but that's admittedly a personal bias born from watching countless 80s movies.

text: Review : MacBook Air (13-inch, 2011) updated 07:00 am EDT, Sun July 24, 2011 by MacNN Staff Apple unveils what may be its best ultraportable yet. MacNN Rating: Product Manufacturer: Apple Price: $1,299 (1.7GHz Core i5, 128GB) The Good Dramatically faster for both everyday and serious work. Better value than most Windows-based opponents. Battery life still holds up with the added speed. 4GB of RAM now standard on 13-inch models. Thunderbolt opens up fast storage, docking possibilities. Backlit keyboard returns at last. Lion a good fit for the hardware. Still extremely portable. Excellent keyboard and trackpad. Quiet in most use cases. Sharp, low-glare display. The Bad No more than 4GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. Can't be user-upgraded. Not as fast as costlier rivals. Battery life could still be longer. Display isn't as vivid as on a MacBook Pro or similar. The redesigned MacBook Air in October 2010 sparked a minor revolution in notebooks; after years of ultraportables (even Apple's) being relegated to the margins, they were suddenly the future of computing. Intel went so far as to coin a new notebook concept, the "ultrabook," to spur Windows PC builders to do what Apple was doing. But with stiff competition emerging from Samsung, Sony, and even ASUS, Apple has had to step up its game with a much faster processor and Thunderbolt for desktop-level external storage. We'll see in our review of the 2011 13-inch MacBook Air if it's enough to keep the lead -- and possibly to replace traditional notebooks. Design and input If you've seen our review of the original 11-inch MacBook Air, much of the design of the 2011 13-inch model will be a bit of a rehash. In our mind, that's mostly a good thing. The wedge-shaped design is still one of the most attractive and yet functional in the class; it sits very comfortably on a lap and will fit into just about any bag. At 0.68 inches at its deepest point and 0.11 inches at its thinnest, it's extremely compact but still comes across as sturdy and well-built. New models are very slightly heavier than the 13-inch Air was, but at just under three pounds, it's still almost a non-factor for weight in your bag. Competition is definitely tighter this time around, though, and it's not quite the case that Apple is the winner in every area. If you're interested in absolute thinness, the Samsung Series 9 tops out at 0.64 inches tall, although it doesn't taper off as dramatically as with the MacBook. Sony's 2011 VAIO Z is also very slightly thinner at 0.66 inches, but that thickness is consistent across the entire notebook and is practically thicker. Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 ironically looks like the "fat" model of the bunch with a body that's 0.84 inches thick and relatively weighty at 3.7 pounds. Noise is, as you'd expect with a computer using a solid-state drive (SSD) and a low-voltage chip, quite low. The system isn't completely silent, though, and in a high-demand file transfer or 3D game, it becomes very audible. It's not as harsh as on the Sony VAIO S we tried. Rivals sometimes do have a slight edge in some areas of expansion. The Series 9, for example, has built-in Ethernet and separate headphone and mic jacks. Apple does have a potential ace in the hole with Thunderbolt, however. How many ultraportables can link up to a multi-drive SSD storage array at full speed? It's no coincidence that Apple released the Thunderbolt Display, a 27-inch LCD with FireWire 800 and even gigabit Ethernet thrown in, at the same time as the new MacBook Air line. Link the Air to that screen and you effectively get a dockable (if low-end) iMac. The catch, as you might expect, is adoption. Thunderbolt is a real standard and isn't locked into Apple, but its head start on the market has also meant just a trickle of devices so far. Most, like a Promise Pegasus RAID box and a LaCie Little Big Disk, are just fast external drives. That said, Apple is at least using a standard implementation that works with Mini DisplayPort; Sony's custom port, while it gives dedicated graphics and loads of expansion, will only ever be useful for that one dock. Some of the same could be said for the stealth addition of Bluetooth 4.0, which has both a very low power mode and a "piggyback" feature from 3.0 that hands transfers over to Wi-Fi. Apple likely added the standard because it was a no-cost option. Actual Bluetooth 4.0 and even 3.0 devices are still rare. In the cases of most of these systems, and certainly the MacBook Air, the real drawback for expansion is the amount of elements that are sealed in or otherwise inaccessible. Sealed-in batteries have so far not been issues in practice. RAM is much less of an issue now, too: with all 13-inch MacBook Air units and higher-end 11-inch models now shipping with 4GB standard, you no longer have to custom-order just to get beyond the frankly anemic 2GB of before. That memory is still soldered on to the board, though, and you can't go to 8GB or beyond if you're working with very large media files (full-length 1080p movies come to mind) and don't want to rely on virtual memory. You can technically replace the SSD itself, since it sits on a standard connector, but it won't be easy. You'll have to shop for the very rare stick-shaped drives such as Toshiba's X-Gale series. And if you find one, you'll still need to find a way around Apple's odd decision to use pentalobular screws, such as iFixit's 5-point Torx Plus screwdrivers. With storage topping out at 256GB, anyone who works with video or large amounts of audio will quickly hit the ceiling. We can understand why Apple didn't go for more, since even 400GB and 512GB SSDs are exorbitantly expensive, but it won't change the limits for some prospective buyers. Apple does still claim the crown for input. The keyboard remains a gold standard; it's comfortable and has a short but sure travel that makes it a pleasure to type on. And the 2011 design now cures one of the 2010 model's flaws with a backlit keyboard. Its absence was never fatal, but anyone who's been writing in a dark auditorium or classroom will immediately see the value of it. An ambient light sensor automatically tunes the brightness, so in most cases you don't have to think about whether or not you need it. Apart from new controls to manually adjust the key brightness, the keyboard only has a slight change that swaps out the Dashboard shortcut in favor of one for Launchpad. We personally use Dashboard more and are sad to see it go, although the key will invariably be handy for newcomers who want access to their apps folder at all times. No changes have been made to the trackpad, but this year, it's a lot more important. Apple's introduction of Mac OS X Lion now makes gestures extremely valuable for getting to the Dashboard, Launchpad, Mission Control, or just zooming in. It's a good thing, then, that the trackpad is both very large relative to the size and very smooth, responsive, and accurate. We've seen some good trackpads emerge on the Windows side, including the eerily familiar pad on the Series 9, but many of them are still slightly finnicky or still lack basic multi-touch gestures like two-finger scrolling. Display and audio quality The 13-inch Air is most conservative in its screen. The 1440x900 display is generally one of the better LCDs its size in the industry. It's not as high-resolution as others, but it has well-balanced color and is reasonably bright. It does wash out fairly quickly, though, suggesting that Apple's keeping prices down by using a TN (twisted nematic) panel, albeit a fairly good one. Day-to-day, our only real issue is a somewhat "flat" feel where MacBook Pros tend to look more vibrant. There is one advantage to the Air's screen over that on a MacBook Pro, however, and that's glare. Both the new 11- and 13-inch Air systems have glossy displays, but the gloss has been toned down such that you almost wouldn't notice anything. You'll still want to think twice about computing at the park on a bright summer day; in most other areas, though, it's a lot less prone to highlights from lamps or open windows. We're inclined to say Apple has struck a good balance between resolution and size. The Series 9's panel is too low resolution. The VAIO Z's stock LCD at 1600x900 is usable, but starting to get a bit small; with the optional 1080p panel, it gets to be ridiculous. A 1440x900 screen is as much resolution as a 15-inch MacBook Pro and, in our tests, gives as much practical workspace, just in a smaller size. If you wanted to go smaller than a MacBook Pro but didn't want to lose usable area, the 13-inch Air is nigh-on ideal. Don't anticipate miracles from the built-in speakers. By necessity, they're not as large or as up front as on a MacBook Pro. Still, they can get surprisingly loud, and they're good for the many incidental sounds from apps and the OS. Performance: objective and subjective tests By far the biggest liability, and for some the only liability, on the 2010 MacBook Air was its processor choice. To keep reasonable graphics performance and avoid using Intel's then-sluggish integrated chipset, Apple used Core 2 Duos and a one-of-a-kind NVIDIA GeForce 320M chipset for video. It didn't sour the deal for some, but many took a pass on what they saw as a trailing edge processor in a premium machine. All those disputes evaporate in the 2011 refresh. Apple has moved up to the newest ultra-low voltage Core i5 and i7 processors, and along with them gets Intel's newer HD 3000 graphics. You won't want to play a bleeding-edge game like Crysis 2 on this hardware, but we had success playing Portal 2 and Modern Warfare 2 with moderate amounts of detail at smooth (30-plus) frame rates at the native 1440x900 screen resolution. It's still not what you'd want to use for frequent gaming -- an Alienware M11x is a better pick for games in this size class -- but it's impressive that Intel video now has to be taken seriously. In regular use, what's impressive is that the system doesn't choke like even better-equipped 2010 models did. A fairly heavy workload of ours, which can include a dozen Firefox tabs, Mail, Adium chat, Twitter, Photoshop, an FTP client, and iTunes, runs smoothly. Although the 1.7GHz Core i5 2557M is a step back in clock speed, it's much more efficient per clock. With Hyperthreading, it behaves like a quad-core processor some of the time in the OS and is very graceful at handling multiple simultaneous tasks. When it doesn't need both cores, it also gets a lot faster, at up to 2.7GHz on one core. Combine that with more memory bandwidth (1,333MHz versus 1,066MHz) and faster solid-state drives, and you can see why it's faster. Many of the bottlenecks are just gone. And, as always, one of the kicks of an SSD-equipped notebook is watching the system fly by in tasks where a rotating hard drive would trip up. Booting is obviously quick and will take you from off to completely ready and online in about 24 seconds. The real thrill, though, comes from things like downloads or file transfers, which become much more consistently fast instead of fluctuating as a rotating hard drive reaches its limits. Apps launch very quickly, so if you're ever the sort who rushes into a class or meeting late, the extra 10 or 20 seconds you save may be worth it. In more concrete, objective tests, the 2011 MacBook Air is more surprising still. In Geekbench, a test that works the processor, memory, and storage, the new Air really is about twice as fast as a similarly specified Core 2 Duo model at about 5,446 points. Startlingly, the Core i5 is even 14 percent faster than our outgoing 15-inch MacBook Pro with a 2.4GHz Core i5 and dedicated graphics that should, in theory, demolish the Air. The speeds get faster again when you option up the 1.8GHz Core i7. Some of that again comes from the SSD, but it's also a similar leap in memory speeds and just the improved performance per clock that give the Air the edge. If graphics aren't vital to you, the Air is only outperformed by Apple's current generation MacBook Pros, and then only in areas where storage speed isn't the deciding factor. Geekbench 2.1.13 (32-bit) Cinebench is a bit less forgiving. As it leans heavily on the graphics chip, there's a clear gap in the frame rate for live rendering and a slight gap for 'offline' rendering. Even so, it's now in the performance territory of considerably larger notebooks, which could never have been said for the old model. We should add that the 11-inch Air is now finally a first-class citizen in terms of performance. Although it starts out at a lower 1.6GHz Core i5, it will often run nearly as quickly as the 13-inch system, and it can use the same build-to-order Core i7 option as its larger sibling. It's now virtually the same system from a subjective point of view, so if screen size and the lack of an SDXC card slot don't matter to you, it's entirely reasonable to opt for the smaller model. Battery life The 13-inch Air from last year was considered a minor hero for getting nearly seven hours of real battery life -- that is, with a realistic screen brightness and while performing a real task like web browsing. Even now, companies like Dell and Sony are still using very exaggerated claims that assume the system is basically unused and with a dim screen; it's not uncommon to see these systems lose 30 to 40 percent of their claimed battery life if you so much as open a web browser. Moving to the faster Core processors and Intel integrated video hasn't hurt Apple's reputation. When running the screen at half brightness, with Bluetooth off and doing regular web browsing without much in the background, we managed to get six hours, 45 minutes of life. Heavy duty use will shrink that considerably, such as by using a 3G modem or through frequent downloading; we got about four hours and 30 minutes in an additional test with a very large download running non-stop in the background and with more background apps open. As such, it's not the all-day battery life from a modern Dell Latitude or an HP EliteBook, but it's enough to last through the practical part of a working day and in a much thinner and lighter package. Those considering the 11-inch Air will have to remember that the lower battery life from the time should be true here as well. At five hours of claimed (and likely practical, based on reports) battery life, it will last through most situations but isn't for most heavy lifting or for when that work day revolves entirely around untethered use. For most casual use, the 11-inch system will be more than enough. Lion on the MacBook Air We mentioned in our Mac OS X Lion review that many of the features in the OS were designed around notebooks, and seemingly with smaller, flash-based notebooks like the MacBook Air in mind. That's all now proven true. The multi-touch gestures, Mac App Store (as well as other download stores), and app resuming are all seemingly tailor-made for the Air, where the large trackpad, the lack of an optical drive, and the fast SSD all either overcome limitations or take advantage of strengths. Full-screen apps make more sense on the 13-inch screen, although the 1440x900 resolution reduces the need for it. You may find some reason for objection in the iOS influence. The 'natural' scrolling still feels off to us, and Launchpad is a translation of the iOS home screen metaphor to the desktop that doesn't entirely work if you have a large number of apps. Thankfully, you can either toggle some of these (such as the scrolling) or just ignore them (like Launchpad). On the whole, though, the polish and little tricks largely work in Lion's favor and are things Microsoft could take a lesson from. Windows 8 will take the desktop even further than Lion and is something to watch, although we'd note that it's not due until mid-2012. This is also discounting iCloud, which wasn't active at the time of the review. Once it is, Apple will have an at least theoretically transparent way of syncing and pushing files without needing physical copies. One thing Apple will likely always have over most Windows rivals is the clean install. The company is well known for strict control of what apps come preloaded on a Mac, and that works entirely in its favor. There are no antivirus trials threatening that your system will be compromised if you don't pay for a subscription; there are no third-party utilities you'll never use occupying the desktop or eating into system resources. The Air will always boot quickly and always run well unless you, the user, weigh it down with a lot of login items and background apps. We did have an unusual problem with Migration Assistant between two Macs. Even when using Ethernet (through a USB adapter on the Air) and with Wi-Fi turned off, the Air kept flashing rapid-fire warnings that it had lost the connection to the source Mac and couldn't start a transfer. We're not sure how widespread this is, but it may behoove Mac users upgrading to the 2011 Air to use a Time Machine or SuperDuper backup instead. Wrapping up There are still some for whom the MacBook Air won't be the ideal pick. If you're still heavily tied to disc-based software and aren't keen on spending the $79 for an external DVD drive (or hoping for a Remote Disc share), this won't be for you. Likewise, if you depend on FireWire or your pro work regularly take you past 4GB of active memory, Apple won't have changed your mind. We suspect Apple isn't trying to cater to everyone just yet. What the processor, Thunderbolt, and Lion upgrades have done is to fit many more people into the Air's big tent. If you have a serious workload, it's genuinely realistic to get an Air. We're happy that we can do virtually everything we did on a year-old MacBook Pro at least as well as before, but in a package that's much smaller and certainly much lighter. If you'd told us a year ago that you could have an external drive on the Air that outperforms even the SSD inside, we'd have thought you were kidding. Lion plays a big role just by making the OS more accessible and removing some of the hesitation around a notebook without an optical drive. If you're coming to the Mac as a Windows user only familiar with Apple through an iPad or an iPhone, the MacBook Air is seemingly crafted just for you. It's no surprise that an official Apple migration tool for Windows users is making its first hardware-based appearance on the MacBook Air. The Air isn't the best at everything in the ultraportable space. If absolute speed is your desire and you're willing to pay at least a $400 premium over Apple, the Sony VAIO Z is faster and has a docking station already bundled in the box that turns it into a minor desktop replacement. Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 is also faster, has more expansion and is actually price competitive. Samsung's Series 9 is certainly the sleekest of Apple's immediate rivals, and if you're reading this in September 2011 or later, the ASUS UX21 is a virtual clone of the MacBook Air down to the processor speed. And yet each of Apple's rivals here seems to trip up on an important feature. The VAIO's $2,000 minimum sticker relegates it to the highest end of users where even Apple's maximum 13-inch model with 256GB of storage tops out at $1,600. Samsung's Series 9, even with less expensive models, still can't catch the Air: it runs slower processors and yet still costs $50 more. And once again, Lenovo's X1 is nearly out of the class with a noticeably heavier and thicker design, even if it has a lot working in its favor. We're left thinking that the MacBook Air succeeds by striking the right balances at the most points. It's very portable; it's fast; it's easy to use; it's long-lived; and in what's still a premium segment, it's affordable. If you want, you really can use the Air as your only notebook and, just possibly, as your only system. Apple made a risky bet when it dropped the white MacBook to make the Air its entry level, but after having tested an Air in some very demanding situations, it's clear the company is on to something.

$75M Rolesville High School set to open
$75M Rolesville High School set to open
Wake County schools are getting ready to open the most expensive high school the district has ever built.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reports the district spend $75 million on Rolesville High School, where classes begin Monday. The school is four stories and is the first one in Wake County designed to hold over 2,200 students.
Backers of the school say it is state-of-the-art and is built in pods to feel like 16 smaller schools. But critics said the price tag is too high.
Voters will get a say in October, when Wake County schools ask them to approve $800 million in bonds to build more schools for the district, which is projected to grow by 3,000 students this school year.

1st Place Champion: Shin-AMV
2nd Place Runner-Up: pacotacoshell
3rd Place: siny
Judge Comments/Scores
Avg: 88.2
Nice song/ anime combination, but I feel that you focused a little too much on each of the back stories and not enough on your overarching story. It became difficult to keep up with how each of the characters and back stories were related to each other and the overarching story of their dead friend disappearing. (score: 75)
The execution was fine and the text selection was appreciated, but in terms of the duration I thought this was going to be shorter. Felt kinda long
Audio and visual quality were perfect. It was also very good from the point of view of the editing: I liked the scenes choice, which did a great work for the understanding of the story. The parts with the characters over the white background were very well-made, and in general there was a nice work of the writings. The gaussian blurs were fairly well used, particularly those used as a frame in the memories. However, in the transitions they were annoying sometimes. A negative point were precisely the transitions. Very often there were a lot and too much fast, which gave to the video a bad rythm; maybe it could have been better with hard cuts or internal sync. Even the continuos zooms out were a bit annoying in some scenes. Anyway, it was a pretty nice video from all the points of view.
This was cute and really tugged on the heartstrings. Timing was spot-on, and I was easily able to follow the story you were telling without having seen the source. Perhaps a touch of over-sync on the piano, but not hugely so. One of my favorite videos of the whole competition.
I've never seen anohana, but this video gripped me in such a strong way. The raw emotion you captured. The loss, the regret. Even after multiple viewings I simply couldn't watch this video without tearing up. This was powerful.
Video #2
Avg: 92
great song/ anime combination, and I really like your concept of the AMV being an actual picture book of memories. If you had some more time, I think that you could have improved some of the transitions and picture effects, but you still did a nice job at implementing them. (score: 88)
The editing is solid and there are a great scenes choice. I liked the idea of making the video like a photo album, and the realization has been very good for all the duration of the Amv. There aren't major defects, maybe just some zooms were a bit annoying and several crossfades were too fast. In general, the video flows well, it has a great atmosphere and it's also quite original. Nothing to say about the audio and video quality, they are excellent.
Also a very well-done video that really hit all the emotional high notes. I really liked the scrapbook framing all through the video. It was effective without being repetitive and rarely distracting. The timing was a tiny bit loose in a couple places, but that's more nitpicking than a complaint. Some of the incredibly quick crossfades could stand to be a couple frames longer or converted to straight cuts, though.
You've truly grown up. And think that this time the video moved in the same pace, which is something appreciated. Needed more impact though but it was fine
You did a spectacular job at capturing the essence of the series, and it's roller-coaster of emotions. Very well done.
Video #3
Avg: 89.2
good song/ anime combination, and I like the simplicity of this video. I also feel that you did a really good job of editing this and maintaining the mood sync from scene to scene.
Not bad, but it felt like something was missing. You got the story related very well
Another well-done video, though this one had a few more issues than the others. There was a lot of noise in a lot of the darker shots; a bit of smoothing would have helped here a lot. Some of the timing was loose, other parts were much tighter, so the loose parts were a little bit distracting. Otherwise, it held the mood of the video very well throughout and was very enjoyable.
well executed, I could feel emotion in the flow of the video even if I couldn't exactly make out the exact plot.
It was quite interesting, the scenes choice was very good and the anime/song combination was well chosen, has made the atmosphere very well. Below the point of view of the editing it was neat, it hadn't particular defects and it was constant for all its duration. Maybe in some moments it needed scenes more dynamic, because it was too much static or the scenes were too much long.
Coordinator Comments:
Congratulations to our newest Champion, Shin-AMV! You're officially a part of the Project Editor Hall of Fame alongside Nya-Chan Production and Ileia.

Americans for Prosperity to rally against Obamacare
July 31. 2013 8:33PM
CONCORD — A long-time opponent of the Affordable Care Act, Americans for Prosperity, will host the Wrong for New Hampshire Picnic and Rally today on the State House lawn beginning at noon.
"We all know the implementation of Obamacare has been a disaster and if fully implemented Obamacare will lead to cuts in services, higher premiums and doctor shortages," said Greg Moore, state director of AFP-NH.
But supporters of the ACA say the group is trying to use health care for leverage in the next election.
"While actual consumer health advocates are looking for ways to get more people covered, groups like Americans for Prosperity are trying to come between people and their doctors and make health access as burdensome as possible so that they can use health reform as a political wedge issue in the next election," said Zandra Rice-Hawkins, director of Granite State Progress.
A legislative commission is studying the potential effects of expanding Medicaid eligibility to include individuals and families at 138 percent of the federal poverty level or below. The federal government will pay 100 percent for the new enrollees for three years under the ACA.
One of the AFP-NH's top priorities this year was to block Medicaid expansion. Gov. Maggie Hassan and the Democratically-controlled House included expansion in their budgets, but the Republican-controlled Senate blocked expansion saying more time is needed to study it.
House and Senate negotiators agreed to establish the commission, which has to make its recommendations by Oct. 15.
Key elements of the ACA begin Jan. 1, including the individual mandate and online health insurance exchanges allowing individuals and small businesses to compare health insurance plans.

If you don't want to wait, 'thestealthtank' has a ton of them on ebay with starting bids of $0.01. Looks like he bought a few Master Cases and is selling off everything extra he has.
Yes, I got the AT-ST driver in one case and the Rebel Trooper in the other. I haven't opened up the third case, yet, however I believe the chases are split pretty evenly.
I got my box from NCSX today and I'm sad to say like the last two boxes I have purchased no chases.

Silva says the Padres want "a couple of prospects back," one of which is Michael Fulmer.
Fulmer, the 44th overall pick in the 2011 first-year player draft, is 5-4 with a 2.70 ERA in 14 starts with Single-A Savannah this season. He has walked 25 while striking out 62 in 70 innings this season.
Quentin, 29, has hit .273 with a .403 OBP, seven home runs and 17 RBI in 110 at-bats over 32 games this season. He missed the first two months of the season after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his knee.
Quentin was acquired by the Padres from the White Sox during the off-season, and signed a one-year, $7.025 million contract to avoid arbitration. He can become a free-agent this winter.
[avatar name="erni"]Brian Erni: The idea of adding a bat like Quentin's is certainly enticing, but it doesn't come without risk. Quentin missed the Padres' first 49 games of the season after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his right knee to repair a torn meniscus and remove loose cartilage. Quentin spent 2008-'11 with the White Sox, where his knees could be given a rest every few days by using him as the designated hitter, so it's worth asking how long he could hold up as an every day player. That said, Quentin has hammered the ball since returning, hitting seven home runs in 32 games. He served as the Padres' DH during interleague play in five of those 32 appearances.
As long as the Mets are attached to players like Quentin, who could take the starting left field job and run with it, the elephant in the room is Jason Bay and the remaining salary the Mets have left on his contract. Could the Mets cut ties with Bay and eat the rest of the money due to him? Or reduce his role to a two-to-three-start-per-week player? Absolutely, but I do think they'll give Bay one more chance to see how he performs when he's activated from the disabled list. It won't be a long leash, but I think the Mets would give him one final look before they move on a bat like Quentin.

Our radio hero Hugh Hewitt has staked out a journalistic beat that involves paying attention to the words uttered by (or on behalf of) John Kerry in various settings and trying to make sense of them. It's tough work, and few of us have a high enough pain threshold to do it with the kind of meticulous attention to detail that Hugh brings to it.
In his Standard Online column today Hugh attends to Kerry's Softball appearance with Democratic hack Chris Matthews earlier this week: "We may yet find them." Hugh asks why Kerry concedes that Saddam's weapons of mass destruction may yet be found and congratulates him for lapsing momentarily, in his own peculiar way, into the truth.
Hugh quotes this characterstic Kerry exchange with Matthews:
MATTHEWS: If there was an exaggeration of WMD, exaggeration of the danger, exaggeration implicitly of the connection to al Qaeda and 9/11, what's the motive for this, what's the "why?" Why did Bush and Cheney and the ideologues around take us to war? Why do you think they did it?
KERRY: It appears, as they peel away the weapons of mass destruction issue, and–we may yet find them, Chris. Look, I want to make it clear: Who knows if a month from now, you find some weapons. You may. But you certainly didn't find them where they said they were, and you certainly didn't find them in the quantities that they said they were. And they weren't found, and I have talked to some soldiers who have come back who trained against the potential of artillery delivery, because artillery was the way they had previously delivered and it was the only way they knew they could deliver. Now we found nothing that is evidence of that kind of delivery, so the fact is that as you peel it away I think it comes down to this larger ideological and neocon concept of fundamental change in the region and who knows whether there are other motives with respect to Saddam Hussein, but they did it because they thought they could, and because they misjudged exactly what the reaction would be and what they could get away with.
What's goin' on? Could it be that Kerry has been briefed on the latest events in Jorda, spelled out in today's Wall Street Journal editorial? The editorial is: "Al Qaeda's poison gas." Al Qaeda's foiled poison gas attack connects a number of the dots on which the Bush administration predicated the war on Saddam Hussein, although you almost have to be a master of the blogosphere to know it.
Jeff Jacoby rivals Hugh in his ability to parse Kerry's words. In his Boston Globe column today Jacoby does a masterful job recapping medalgate: "The Kerry medals mystery." Given the venue of Jacoby column, I hope he puts Hugh's column together with today's Journal editorial and turns his spotlight on the Kerry WMD mystery.

With their assigning of Matt Bartkowski to Providence (AHL) today, the Bruins met the NHL deadline for trimming their roster to 23 players and being compliant with the league's salary cap.
As expected, No. 2 overall pick Tyler Seguin remains with Boston over in Prague. Seguin has enjoyed a hot hand with three goals in the two exhibition games in Europe and has settled in, for now, as the club's third-line center with the likes of Daniel Paille and Michael Ryder flanking him.
So the clock now begins to tick on Seguin's nine-game audition to be a full-time NHLer. Seguin can be returned to his junior team in Plymouth (OHL) anytime, but after he plays 10 NHL games the first year of his NHL contract kicks in. If he hits the 40-game mark, the clock begins to tick on his free-agent status down the road.
Here's a thumbnail look at the Bruins' 23 remaining players, minus unsigned tryout Brian McGrattan, who could still sign and crack the lineup between now and Saturday.
Tuukka Rask
Plus: With just a couple bumps along the road, Rask has accomplished every goal put in front of him and should be ready to emerge as one of the league's top three goaltenders this season.
Minus: If Tim Thomas cannot serve as an adequate back-up, we don't know if Rask could handle a workload of 60, 65 NHL games.
Tim Thomas
Plus: If he's healthy and on top of his game, the Bruins are the favorites for the Jennings Trophy because they won't suffer much drop-off when Rask gets a night off.
Minus: If he doesn't get off to a solid start to the season — and it's going to be tough to work in a start or two early — the fan base will turn on him and his teammates might even begin to let doubt creep in.
Nolan Schaefer
Plus: Should serve as a perfect veteran mentor to one or two of the Bruins' prospects in Providence once he returns from Europe.
Minus: If for any reason he's forced into action at the NHL level, that means the Bruins are having trouble in the one area — goaltending — that's not supposed to be a concern for the club.
Johnny Boychuk
Plus: Seems to be grounded in his second season and focused on improving after his breakout stretch run and playoff performance last season.
Minus: No longer an unknown quantity, Boychuk will be challenged more by opponents and has to perfect his positioning to make up for less-than-fleet feet.
Zdeno Chara
Plus: No one probably took last spring's defeat harder than the captain, who knows he has to regain his Norris-worthy form and usually accomplishes the tasks he sets out for himself. Chara should have his edge back with a better supporting cast around this season.
Minus: The contract extension his agent is working on might linger into the regular season and distract the routine-obsessed defenseman.
Andrew Ference
Plus: Healthy again, Ference holds down a top-four job and serves as that puck-mover Boston really needs to succeed as a team.
Minus: We don't know how Ference's game will hold up over the course of 75, 80 games. The rigors of a full NHL season can take their toll on even the most experienced veteran's decision-making.
Matt Hunwick
Plus: Playing third-pair minutes on a healthy team could allow Hunwick to slowly regain his confidence and show the two-way ability he produced in spurts as a rookie in '08-09.
Minus: Hunwick might be best served by a change of scenery as he continues to lack confidence and smarts and fails to fit into the system.
Adam McQuaid
Plus: Gritty defenseman proved last year he can be ready at the drop of a hat (or an injured blueliner) even after long stretches of not playing in games last season. He might have carved out his niche as the perfect sixth or seventh blueliner at the game's highest level.
Minus: If forced into action, McQuaid's going to have to limit those mistakes he coughed up in limited duty last season. Those mistakes become more glaring when you're only on the ice 10 minutes.
Dennis Seidenberg
Plus: In a brief audition on Boston's back end last spring, a healthy Seidenberg finally reached some of the potential expected of him in his previous NHL stops. He could be the perfect No. 2 defenseman.
Minus: Much like Boychuk, we still don't know how much Seidenberg can produce playing top-four minutes over the long haul. Seidenberg's four-year contract extension has set the bar mighty high for the backliner.
Mark Stuart
Plus: The first injury-plagued year of Stuart's career should be a distant memory by the time spring comes and he has cracked the top four with some rugged defensive play and some unexpected offensive contributions.
Minus: He's unable to get back on the developmental track and is relegated to a stay-at-home third-pair role averaging barely 13 minutes a night.
Patrice Bergeron
Plus: Veteran center should continue to emerge as a perennial Selke-worthy candidate and should sign an extension that establishes his permanent place in Bruins lore.
Minus: If the ongoing contract extension talks don't distract him, the auditioning of wingers to play alongside him and Mark Recchi might hamper his production.
Gregory Campbell
Plus: The Bruins' revolving door of fourth-line centers should stop for two years with Campbell doing everything asked of him and doing it with an overflow of grit.
Minus: Something forces Campbell, injury-riddled last season, to lose his snarl and the Bruins aren't able to roll four lines the way they like to.
Jordan Caron
Plus: Based on his size and instincts, he should be able to survive as an NHL rookie season logging third- and fourth-line minutes on a team that shouldn't require him to chip in much offensively.
Minus: If other players relied upon for scoring don't produce, the Bruins might ask Caron to do more or be forced to replace him with someone that can contribute.
Nathan Horton
Plus: The winger is so "happy to be here" he'll do anything, including crashing the net and ravaging the corners to get the puck and march to at least 30 goals.
Minus: Without Marc Savard to set him up, Horton gets off to a slow start and loses his confidence — especially when the Garden faithful turns on him.
David Krejci
Plus: With Savard out, Krejci takes the extra ice time — at even strength and on the power play — and becomes a point-per-game performer.
Minus: The focus of opposing defenses combines with Krejci's desire to do too much and leads to him having to be shuffled from line to line in search of his game.
Milan Lucic
Plus: In the first year of his new deal, Lucic takes the step injuries prevented last season and he pops in 20 goals to go with 10 fights and numerous goals caused by blocking out goaltenders from seeing the puck in front of the net.
Minus: The top-six role goes to his head and Lucic resorts to being too fancy with the puck, leaving the Bruins with a slow banger when they need a point-producer.
Brad Marchand
Plus: After two full seasons of pro hockey, Marchand finally "gets it" and toes the line between agitator for and detriment to his team.
Minus: Without adding anything offensively, Marchand spends his little bit of ice time earning his ticket to the penalty box.
Daniel Paille
Plus: Finally adds hands to speed on his resume and at least surpasses 15 goals while still serving as a solid penalty-killer.
Minus: He fails to find chemistry with Campbell or another PK performer and it costs the Bruins a spot in the top five among power play extinguishers.
Mark Recchi
Plus: Even at 42, he continues to play like he's 24 in all situations and continues to wreak havoc in front of the net.
Minus: Age, or at least injury, has to catch up to Recchi sooner or later. For the Bruins' sake, it better not happen this year.
Michael Ryder
Plus: The lure of a new contract next summer inspires Ryder to quiet the naysayers and return to 25-goal form with a little bit of edge added to his game.
Minus: Last year turns out to the rule instead of the exception and the Bruins have to either stick Ryder in the press box or bite the bullet on burying his contract in the AHL.
Tyler Seguin
Plus: Depending on his ice time, the rookie emerges as a Calder-worthy scorer or a solid complementary piece while learning the ways of the league.
Minus: The demands of playing defense in the NHL take their toll on Seguin's offensive game or — worse — earn him the scorn of head coach Claude Julien, who's forced to make some tough lineup decisions.
Shawn Thornton
Plus: After a training camp during which he again he proved he can bring more than just his fists to the rink, he gets a couple bounces and actually scores a few goals in the regular season.
Minus: The Bruins somehow decide to go with McGrattan in Thornton's slot in search of out-and-out intimidation and turn Thornton into a press box dweller.
Blake Wheeler
Plus: His stated desire to use his size more and become a more productive, regular presence around the net comes to fruition with a return to 20-plus goals.
Minus: The new skates and the new outlook don't pay off and Wheeler is still a mistake-prone detriment to the Bruins' cause on the attack.

Looks Like This Sunday's Mad Men Premiere Is a Christmas Episode
Jingle bells in Hawaii.
We already knew Mad Men's sixth season premiere would involve a Hawaiian vacation, but it appears we'll get some Christmas in the bargain as well. A bunch of new images posted Monday evening show a slew of holiday decor as well as a possibly jovial, definitively older-looking Pete Campbell. Check out a few photos here, more at AMC, and proceed to speculate wildly. The Matt Weiner-written, Scott Hornbacher-directed two-hour episode is called "The Doorway."

LANCASTER, Calif. (AP) — Los Angeles County prosecutors say a man who built a Mojave Desert compound known as Phonehenge West has been sentenced to almost 18 months in jail because he failed to pay for its demolition.
The Los Angeles Times reports (http://lat.ms/WCpkNn) Friday that Alan Kimble Fahey was ordered to pay more than $83,000 in costs incurred for the dismantling of the 20,000-foot labyrinth of interconnected structures and telephone poles. But Fahey has repaid just $1,250 to the county.
On Wednesday, L.A. County Superior Court Judge Daviann L. Mitchell questioned Fahey's claims of financial hardship before sentencing him to 539 days in jail.
Fahey's attorney Jerry E. Lennon says the nonviolent nature of his client's offense and his documented heart condition will likely make him eligible for early release.

What Do You Suppose Is Wrong?
Dear Editor,
Good old American Joe, who recently lost his job at General Electric Company, when they moved his job to China, wakes up to his alarm clock imported from China.
Joe wakes his wife and they notice the bulb is burned out in the night light. Joe says, "We'll have to get some new bulbs today."
Joe starts shaving with his electric razor that's imported from Taiwan, and his wife makes coffee with their Black and Decker coffee maker that's imported from China. Joe, meanwhile, puts on his shirt that's made in Brazil, his pants from the Philippines, his socks from Vietnam and his shoes that came from Mexico.
His wife is cooking good old American eggs and bacon in their new frying pan they bought at Kmart, and it was imported from China. His wife then puts her homemade bread in their Black and Decker toaster that came from China and serves the bacon, eggs and toast on their dishes that came from France.
They eat their breakfast, and Joe gets in his car that is imported from Japan, and goes looking for a job. Joe's wife puts a batch of dough in her Toastmaster Bread Maker that's made in China and leaves in her car, that was made in Canada, and goes shopping.
Joe has no luck finding a job and stops at Kmart to buy light bulbs; he finds bulbs from General Electric that he won't buy and picks a package of two bulbs made by Westinghouse. He buys them for $1.57 and goes home and turns on his Panasonic T.V. that's made in China and wonders why he can't find a good-paying job.
His wife comes home with a package of four light bulbs that she bought at the Dollar Store for $1 and says to Joe what a good buy she got. Joe says, "I'll bet they are made in China." They looked at the ones he bought; they also were made in China by Westinghouse.
And that's the way it is. So, what do you suppose is wrong with our economy?

I have been trying to find a theme for my blog. I want one that displays the writing in a clear and clean manner, and …
Nearly everywhere I have read recommends the Thesis theme, but my understanding is that is is well built at the back end but you need coding skills to design the front end. I may end up going that way, because the alternatives all have problems.
I found Elegant Themes, which look very nice. It's US$19.95 per year to use all of them, and you keep them if you don't renew. I've been experimenting with one now – StudioBlue – it's on the right. Ih shows featured posts and lists of posts by category and is very configurable. It allows ads in the top right corner, but I've realised that I have to insert code to put them in there, instead of just in a widget editor, so that's out.
I also tried one called eNews which showed pictures, but it required a thumbnail to be generated for each post, as well as the code-insertion drama mentioned.
It's not that I am unable to learn to code, I was a programmer for many years. I just don't want to spend my time doing that. If writing a post is an extra hassle I'll do it less often. I would be prepared to spend more to get something more user-friendly but I want to try it out before I buy it, and not find out that I have to mess with code when I've already paid for it.
Of course, the real reason for all this mucking around is not for this blog but for my business blog and website.

NEW ORLEANS, LA (WWL) - Port officials in New Orleans are not expecting flooding along the Mississippi River in the Midwest to cause an interruption in shipping in Louisiana, but they are getting prepared.
One official said the flooding problem this year is nowhere near the stages seen in 2011 at this point.
It was just two years ago the Army Corps of Engineers opened the Morganza Flood Control Structure to keep overflowing along the lower Mississippi River. Prior to that, it had not been opened since 1973, which was the first time water was allowed to flow through the floodgates since the construction was completed in 1954.
Right now, the river is expected to crest in New Orleans at 14 feet on May 11. That's three feet below flood stage.
The Mississippi River levees in the New Orleans area are built to protect against a 20-foot crest at the Carrolton gauge. That's six feet above what they're expecting this spring.

Tonight I made the amazing recipe for tortilla soup from the Real Food Daily cookbook. It is SO Delicious!!! If you have this cookbook, I really recommend this recipe. It's thick and hearty and delectable. Also, we had some steamed broccoli with it. As always, we had to share the broccoli with our cat yummers.
We've still got a few lingering holiday leftovers, which we're making our way through at lunch time!

Take on the game with the Tour Voyager Home jersey. Made with 100% polyester and Tour's revolutionary light-weight AIR-ET mesh material that allows for better air circulation and easy mobility so you won't break a sweat even when it comes down to the wire. The colors and graphics are fused (sublimated) into the jersey which keeps the overall weight of the jersey down and also keeps the graphics from fading or cracking, hello washing machine.
Tour stayed true to their core by incorporating a hockey player's design, with wider shoulder sections for a better overall fit, double reinforced elbow sections for added durability, and lastly reinforced seams so this jersey can outlast you.
Please Note:
If you plan on customizing this jersey with your own team graphics, names, or numbers, here is a friendly reminder that silk screening on a sublimated jersey is NOT recommended, as it may cause the colors to bleed. If customizing, it IS recommended that applications should be heat pressed or tackle twilled.

cl-wav-synth is a wav sample editor. It comes in two parts, the main library for manipulating wav files and a (Mc)CLIM interface with a full lisp listener, a sample pane editor, a spectrum pane editor and a song pane editor.
The wav sample editor is driven from the lisp REPL: you can watch immediately the result of each applied functions. cl-wav-synth comes with some effects as echo, delay, pitch...
The spectrum editor is here just for educational purpose. It show the effect of adding sinus together. But it can load spectrum from the sharc project and can be used to produce instruments sounds (the sample amplitude need to be modified to have a real sound).
The song editor is a way to express a song. A song is just a list of events to write on a wav file. cl-wav-synth traverses the song list and evaluates the form of each song-sample, if the result is a wav sample, it is merged in the song wav file.
