OCEAN CITY – A local surfer quickly was given the title of local hero after saving three young children from a rip current that was rapidly pulling them out to sea last Sunday night in uptown Ocean City.
Twenty-six-year-old Nick Wilson merely wanted to catch a few waves left over from Hurricane Bill as he had surfed all weekend on the summer's biggest waves and traveled to 122nd Street in Ocean City Sunday evening for one final session.
Instead, Wilson says that he quickly realized that the heaviest paddling that he would do all weekend was to catch up with three "probably 10-12-year-old kids" who were swept away from the shallow waters by a strong rip current.
"I was waiting for a wave, and I saw this rip current forming, and it was the biggest one that I had seen all weekend," said Wilson, "I had seen these three young kids in the water, and they got caught in this kind of rogue wave and were totally swept away. Within literally 15 or 20 seconds, they were almost out farther than I was to catch waves, and no one looked like they were coming for them."
Wilson said that he pulled the one girl onto his surfboard about 60-70 feet from the shore and instructed the boy to grab onto the board as they paddled over to the third little girl in distress.
With two children on his board, Wilson said that he instructed he helped get the third girl out of the current and she swam alongside his board while he paddled the other two back to the shore.
"They were pretty scared, but at least they were strong swimmers," said Wilson. "It all happened so fast that by the time we were almost back to the shore, the parents were only in the water up to their knees screaming for help."
Ocean City Beach Patrol Captain Butch Arbin was just a few blocks away at the popular "Sundaes in the Park" concert series at Northside Park when he received a call at approximately 7:15 p.m. from the emergency dispatchers informing him of three swimmers in distress.
"We went with lights and sirens and by the time we got there, the surfer had the kids almost back to the shoreline," said Arbin. "If that surfer hadn't miraculously been at that exact spot at that exact time, this story might not have had a happy ending."
Lifeguards are not on duty at that time of the evening, and Arbin says that the weekend's heavy surf conditions made it all the more dangerous for anyone to be in the water while the lifeguards were off duty.
"I was probably not very nice to the family because it made me so angry that after we had limited the areas where people could go into the water all weekend, these adults carelessly allowed their kids into the water and narrowly escaped having to return home without their children", said Arbin.
On Saturday, the beach patrol deemed the surf too dangerous for swimmers, but kept it open for experienced surfers and body boarders, according to Arbin. On Sunday, however, Arbin allowed swimming and his crew recommended that swimmers refrain from going into the water past their knees.
"This story could have been three kids perish in hurricane waters, but thankfully, the surfer was there," said Arbin. "That family should be thanking him and thanking God."
Wilson, however, remained a very humble hero in the days that followed the rescue, saying that he just was happy to help out when he was needed.
"I don't know if it was fate or me just being in the right place at the right time, but I'm glad I could help the kids," said Wilson. "I was relieved when I handed the father his daughter and the mother just hugged me and kept saying 'thank you'."
All three children, who were not named, escaped the near tragedy with no injuries, according to Arbin.
The heavy surf caused by Hurricane Bill also led to a widespread Coast Guard search for an unconfirmed man in the water near 20th Street on Monday afternoon.
The Coast Guard dispatched a 25-foot rescue boat, a helicopter and worked with the beach patrol and the Maryland State Police to locate the alleged missing swimmer.
One man was pulled from the water near the beach, but onlookers claimed another man was drifting out to sea, although there was no confirmation of a missing person in the water, according to Fifth District Coast Guard Senior Chief Petty Officer Brian Avelsgard.
The Coast Guard suspended the search as the widespread manhunt was deemed a "false alert" as they found "no reports of any missing persons in the area," according to officials.
Arbin said, as a whole, the weekend of heavy surf was managed well and commended the majority of swimmers and beach goers for complying to the beach patrol's advisements on the storm.
"Through education, we've had far less people going swimming before the lifeguards come on duty, and far less who swim after the guards go home this year, but when you see an incident like this, why any parent would allow their child to go into those waters without a lifeguard in the chair absolutely denies any logic whatsoever," Arbin said.

If you have ever seen a video by Joshua Smith of CinematicBride, you are familiar with the beautiful colorization in each clip he produces. The colors, saturation, and other visual elements just pop off the screen. Josh has a remarkable talent and it is evident in his work.
When I received my copy of Dream in Color, his first training DVD, I was excited to see what I could learn from it to enhance the colorization in my own productions. When the DVD first begins, a very creative background screen welcomes you with an almost hypnotic menu displaying colored smoke trails. After breaking from my hypnotic trance, I realized I wasn't going to learn anything by simply staring at the pretty colors and the mesmerizing entry screen, so I hit the play button on the Basic Color option.
In the Basic Color tutorial, Josh mentions right away that "all the video filters used are pretty much standard in all NLE systems out there." This was encouraging, as I am an EDIUS user and I knew the tutorial (like all of Josh's work) was created on the Mac, mostly in Final Cut Pro (FCP).
After going through the Basic Color tutorial, I am happy to say that the techniques he discussed were easy to implement in EDIUS, so I would assume they can be easily copied in other NLEs.
The filters used in this section were a simple gamma correction, color balance, and contrast/brightness. Under Josh's control, these simple filters worked wonders on the demo clips. In the Advanced Color tutorial, Josh mentions again that "all these video filters have the basic building blocks in all NLE systems out there." Again, I figured that was great, and I would be able to easily implement the techniques in my work.
Once the tutorial started getting into the demonstration of the techniques, I noticed Josh was using filters like G Super Levels. I was wondering why an NLE would start a filter name with G. After doing some research I learned that many of the filters Josh was using were plug-ins created by Graeme Nattress specifically for FCP. Essentially, he was working with a combination of multiple filters with additional settings available for really advanced tweaking.
When I saw the functionality of some of these plug-ins, I realized it was possible in my NLE, but the work involved to pull off the look would be very cumbersome and time-consuming—much more demanding than Josh's tutorial would suggest.
This was disappointing. As I watched the tutorials I started to formulate some ideas of how to implement different elements of what Josh does into my workflow. It would have been nice to have Josh demonstrate the advanced techniques using only the filters included with FCP. That way, viewers would find it easier to replicate the techniques in their own work by finding analogous filters in their own NLE if they weren't FCP users.
But with the emphasis on the Nattress filters, even FCP users would have to make some additional investment ($100 for the Big Box package of the Nattress filter set) to be able to incorporate Josh's techniques into their own productions.
Josh moves along assuming the viewer understands all that is happening with his color-correcting techniques. Some foundational explanations of exactly what is occurring along the way from a technical point of view may have also been beneficial to many.
There is a chapter called Creative Motion that is basically a short, sit-down interview with Josh where he encourages you to get out there and do your best and be creative by listening to music. This is certainly something Josh is known for—drawing on music for visual inspiration, and creating inspiring work as a result—his Video 07 seminar on this topic helped make his reputation in the industry.
But as a component of Dream in Color, this segment felt more like a pep talk because additional content was needed. It didn't really match the colorization concept of the DVD.
A fourth chapter showcases many of Josh's demo clips to use for inspiration and ideas. It's great work that's a pleasure to watch, but it would have been a nice touch if Josh had done some voice-over narration explaining how the techniques he demonstrated were implemented in those clips. It would give you some insight into how his brain is working and thinking.
Some other things I would have liked to see added to Dream in Color would be to have a waveform/vectorscope visible in the display somewhere, so as changes are made, you could see the effect on the scopes. I am curious as to how much of his tweaking makes the video image "illegal" according to broadcast standard specs (this is a big issue with any color grading work).
Another item which would have been nice to include (and there is room on the DVD to do so) in a ROM portion of the disc would be the clips he worked with as SD .mov files so viewers could open the clips on their own and follow along to see if they could duplicate what he is doing exactly as he is doing it.
I know a user could use any clip of his or her own when attempting to follow the steps in the tutorial, but subtle differences in clips will yield different results with his techniques because lighting in his clip may be different from the user's clips.
Enabling users to follow along while working with the same clips would have made this tutorial much more hands-on.
Overall, while watching this DVD, I did learn some basic techniques that I was able to implement well in EDIUS (and these techniques should work easily in any NLE), but I found that the advanced concepts really required the Nattress FCP plug-in to apply in a time-efficient way.
If you are an FCP user and don't have the Nattress Big Box of Tricks (formerly known as Nattress Set 1 and 2) it would be a good $100 investment if you want to closely follow these techniques and attempt to reproduce the effects in an efficient way.
If you are not an FCP user, you may need to do some very creative thinking to get these techniques to work in your NLE, and you may very well find that making these color adjustments (cool as they are) adds too much time to your workflow to be worthwhile.
Overall, Dream in Color is a good training DVD, but it stops a little short of the greatness you might expect from a videographer as talented and innovative as Joshua Smith.

|Been here on four separate occasions now, on three different trips. First, second, and third times, played Night Games in the goblins until super late, super fun and recommended--the first time I got lost, but that's another story--then, after the third, we stayed in one of the campsites nearby, which also have some fun little goblins to climb on if you're bored. The fourth time me and two other guys wandered out far into the goblins and discovered a neat little cave, big enough to easily fit all three of us--I also tagged the highpoint of the nearby white dome--then, later that day, me and two friends scrambled along the quite exposed yet incredibly fun ridge of goblins to the left as you head down from the pavilion. Climbing the goblins--in particular the tooth-like ridge mentioned above--is an experience unlike any other, this place is a must-visit!

Apps Letting You Stream Your Own Music From The Cloud Being Pressured Over 'Licensing'
from the you-don't-own-what-you-thought-you-own dept
So it's interesting to see that some folks are writing third party apps to access music in Google and Amazon's cloud... but apparently Amazon flipped out about the aMusic iPhone app and, as sent in by Jeffrey Nonken, politely asked the developer to kill the app, noting that since Apple doesn't have licenses that "allow" third party access, he has to wait until they have such licenses.
This is, to put it mildly, stupid. If I have legally obtained files, and I put them in a locker where only I have the legal access to them, why shouldn't I be able to point any app I want at it. This would be like saying that if I had a cllient side app playing music on my hard drive, I couldn't then get another app to play the same files... unless the hard drive maker got the right "licenses" from the record labels. How does that make any sense at all?
This is definitely a big problem with "cloud" services these days however, where folks like the record labels think they retain ownership and control of files that people think they legally "own," limiting how they can listen to them. That seems to give the labels much greater rights than are reasonable granted under copyright law... just because the files are stored at a data center, rather than on a local hard drive.

What intrigues me even more than the variety of colors is the variety of names Crayola crayons possess. Some of my favorites:
Fuzzy Wuzzy
Electric Lime
Unmellow Yellow
Baby's Blanket
I admit it; I'm jealous. I am jealous of the people who get to sit down and decide the names of all these crayons. They honestly have one of the best jobs in the world. So that's one of my crazy little goals. To figure out how to name some Crayola crayons. I think it's good to have little crazy goals. The other day, my goal was to run out of shampoo and conditioner at the same time. Accomplished!
So I emailed Crayola.
Apparently they get their names from a book called "Color: Universal Language and Dictionary of Names" which was published by the U.S. Bureau of Standards. That's pretty awesome, if you ask me.
Lately, my knees and ankles have been awful. I don't know what's up with them!
So all and all it has been a good week, even though my arthritis has been very bad.

Chiney Ogwumike faces her final season at Stanford with as much excitement and passion as she brought when she first arrived.
There's no question Ogwumike is one of the top women's basketball players in the nation, if not the best one. She averaged a double-double last year, was named a first team All-American, named Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year and conference player of the year.
None of that matters to Ogwumike. What matters is helping the Cardinal win, as in making a championship run.
"I want to be a better leader for my team," Ogwumike said. "I love to compete and whatever that brings is what I'll do, whether it's becoming a better passer or perimeter player. I'm down for any challenge."
Stanford faces quite a challenge in its opening weekend. The third-ranked Cardinal (33-3 last year) travels to Boston College for a game Saturday before moving on to meet defending national champion and top-ranked Connecticut on Monday.
"We're just jumping into the deep end of the pool," said Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer, who is six wins away from 900 for her career. "Let's find what we need to work on right off the bat."
The Cardinal returns four starters from the team that was upset by Georgia in the third round of last year's NCAA tournament. In addition to Ogwumike, seniors Sara James and Mikaela Ruef, and junior Amber Orrange also return.
James has missed practice due to a calf injury but is "doing fine," according to VanDerveer. Redshirt sophomore Alex Green has replaced her in the starting lineup for the time being.
Juniors Bonnie Samuelson and Taylor Greenfield, each of whom have been starters in the past, also have been banged up, limiting their playing time. The 6-foot-3 Samuelson, who is joined by her little sister, 6-0 Karlie, this year, is back practicing. Greenfield has a stress reaction and likely will miss a few more weeks.
Junior forward Erica Payne also has missed action following knee surgery, but is expected to join a rotation with Ogwumike and Ruef.
"She's working hard and learning from both Chiney and Mikaela," VanDerveer said. "They are showing her the way."
Freshman 6-3 foward Kailee Johnson, a McDonald's All-American and Oregon's 6A Player of the Year, has been thrown into the starting lineup because of the various aches and pains. She did not have a backup for most of training camp.
Sophomores Tess Picknell and Jasmine Camp are also in the mix, giving Stanford plenty of depth.
In addition to Samuelson, a WBCA All-American, and Johnson, Erica McCall, 5-7 Lili Thompson and 5-7 Briana Roberson came in as one of the top freshman classes in the nation.
McCall is a veteran of the United States national youth teams, Thompson received All-American
honorable mention and Roberson is a two-time CIF Southern Section selection.
"I tell them to be aggressive and don't back down," Ogwumike said of advice she gives the freshmen. "They need to leave it all on the court. We have a lot of upside with five freshmen who are eager to learn and play. We'll be a completely different team in a month, and the month after that. It will be exciting to see how we evolve."
Ogwumike made strides again during the offseason. Her constant attention to detail has put her in successful situations more often. She'll set the tone for the season.
"She's a student of the game," VanDerveer said. "She studies what others do and tries to recognize players like her and things she can do better. She's intuitive in a good way. She works at understanding the game better."
Stanford was picked to win the Pac-12 title despite sharing the regular-season crown with California last year. The Golden Bears also beat Georgia in the Elite Eight to advance to their first Final Four in school history.
The coaches showed a lot of respect for VanDerveer and Ogwumike.
"Last year at this time we didn't know what Chiney would give us," VanDerveer said. "She stepped up and did what she needed to do. She had a great junior year. She carried the team. Other people have to step up and take the pressure off her."
Orrange, named to the All-Pac-12 team last year, could hold the key to Stanford's success. She averaged 10.8 points a game, 4.1 assists and had a 1.60 assist to turnover ratio last year. That might have been just the beginning.
"Amber has made a lot of strides," Ogwumike said. She's so selfless and she can influence the team more than she thinks. She's passionate about making sure the team runs smoothly. She's more confident and she always puts the team first."
Orrange came into her own last year, scoring key baskets to help the Cardinal upset Baylor early in the season and then scoring 20 points, including the game-winning basket, in Stanford's 51-49 win over UCLA in the Pac-12 tournament championship.
"She's a bit of a perfectionist," VanDerveer said. "She's hard working but she has to learn how to let things go. The next step for her is to be a great leader for our team. She has to be more vocal and needs to push the tempo."
Last year ended Stanford's run of five straight visits to the Final Four. A return is a realistic goal this season.

When it began operations and went online last week, the first and maybe only federal credit union in the nation with a part-time competitive rodeo rider as a manager opened its doors.
The brand new Lacota Federal Credit Union is the only financial institution serving the residents of the more than 3,400 square miles of the Pine Ridge Native American Reservation in South Dakota, one of the poorest in the nation.
The new credit union, which has already been granted a low-income designation, will begin by taking deposits and offering a limited range of loans, including auto loans capped at no more than $5,000.
"That's enough money for the kinds of cars that people drive around here," said Whitney O'Rourke, LFCU's new manager. "This a pretty low income area."
Lakota FCU is sponsored by a community development financial institution, the Lakota Funds, and will have potential field of membership of over 40,000 people, O'Rourke said. O'Rourke has worked Lakota Funds since 2010 when the organization's long-held ideal of a credit union began to move toward reality.
O'Rourke, who is herself Lakota and who grew up on a ranch near the small town of Interior, South Dakota, made it through community college on a rodeo scholarship before earning an economics degree at South Dakota State University in Brookings. She used her degree to launch a career specializing in financial services issues among the Lakota and on reservations. She still rides in roping and barrel racing rodeo events, she said.
Only 40,000 people, for example, live on Pine Ridge's thousands of miles of territory and of those 35% are under the age of 18. And many residents have remained very suspicious of financial institutions, particularly those which have not been owned by reservation residents or even other Native Americans.
The combination of suspicion of financial institutions and low population has tended to mean that reservations residents have either been forced to use higher fee alternative financial institutions, such as check cashers or financial institutions off the reservations, which have also tended to charge high fees, O'Rourke explained. There simply has not been the perceived demand on the reservation to support a for-profit bank, she said.
The ability to cash checks for no fee or much lower fees should make the notion of LFCU as a depository an easier sell, but O'Rourke said that over the years a cash only culture has developed that the credit union will need to overcome.
"People need to get used to the idea that they can put their money in the credit union and still have access to it without having it at home or on their persons," she said.
One way the credit union is helping people make that transition is by offering debit cards instead of the traditional checking accounts. Checking accounts carry a stigma with many people because of their fees, O'Rourke explained.

Before re-inventing this I wanted to ask if there was a plugin or something that allowed me to have a storage area for documents that have a very long life. For example policies and procedures.
I would like to have a index page for these items generated automaticly and also be able to announce them in a regular story.
For a real example one thing I would like to be able to do is to post scores from a weekly match (USPSA) and have an index page that will show each weeks history. In addition a story would be posted with a link to that weeks scores. Another use would be to have a series of "white papers" that are avaiable from an index page and are also announced in a story.

Plankton put on a show at Lake Victoria
MICROSCOPIC plankton more commonly known as ''sea sparkle'' has given Lake Victoria on the Gippsland Lakes an electric blue trim.
The bioluminescence is caused by a chemical reaction inside the micro-organism, which gives off the light when disturbed by movement in the water.
The natural glow generated by the plankton, Noctiluca scintillans, was photographed by astrophotographer Phil Hart between January 11 and 16. ''Because it reacts to movement, you can see fish swimming about in the water, you can see ropes tied to boats moving about and if you throw stones or look at the small waves lapping at the shoreline you can see it,'' Mr Hart said. ''But if the waves are too big then the water is too disturbed and you don't see it as much.''
Areas where Noctiluca scintillans is present are much more attractive at night - by day the water appears little more than cloudy. At high levels the water may appear to have a reddish scum on the surface. But at night the electric blue steals the show.
''If you've seen it once, you keep trying to see it again,'' he said. ''It seems an unnatural colour for what we normally consider the natural world.''
Perran Cook, from Monash University's faculty of science, said floods last June created ideal conditions for the microscopic plankton, which measure a tenth of a millimetre in size.
While the micro-organism is in the water year round, it is only noticeable when it blooms. The floods washed nutrients into the water system, which prompted a boom in phytoplankton - the primary food source for Noctiluca scintillans.
''These guys are now cleaning them up,'' Dr Cook said. ''They're like the vacuum cleaner of the phytoplankton in the water column.''
A biogeochemist, Dr Cook said the plankton could adjust their buoyancy allowing them to exist on the surface and deeper in the water column.
He said unlike blue-green algae outbreaks, Noctiluca scintillans posed no risk to health. However he said a diet of nitrogen-rich phytoplankton produced high levels of ammonia, causing odours.
Bioluminescence is not uncommon in nature - it appears in fungi and fireflies. However, Dr Cook said there was no definitive explanation for why the microscopic plankton luminesced when disturbed. Theories range from it being a defence mechanism to scare predators to a camouflage technique.
''It sounds counter-intuitive,'' he said. ''But imagine if you are looking up from below in the water, instead of looking at a dark silhouette against a moon and star-lit sky, it becomes less visible.''

Vintage vibe that doesn't break the bank.
If you're looking for a budget electric guitar but want something with personality, DiPinto's Belvedere Deluxe may be exactly what you need. It features a double-layer semi-hollow mahogany body, single f-hole, two-tone finish, massive paddle-shaped headstock and small humbucking pickups.
The Belvedere's light, semi-hollow body provides rich resonance and percussive punch, and its mini 'buckers deliver fat tone that still has plenty of bite. The three-position pickup-selector switch and master volume and tone controls produce everything from a raucous rockabilly twang to a sultry jazz swing. In overdrive, the Belvedere growls with a vicious bite and howling sustain that are perfect for blues dogs and rock hounds alike.
Featuring a comfortable, 22-fret painted maple neck, 24-3/4-inch scale and bound ebony fingerboard, the Belvedere's neck feels and plays like a real vintage guitar. Although the body looks large, the guitar weighs much less than most hollow and semi-hollow electrics and is comfortable to play for hours on end. The tastefully designed single cutaway provides excellent access to the uppermost frets while it complements the Belvedere's classic lines. Acoustically the DiPinto is loud and punchy; amplified it sounds immediate and full.
The Belvedere's distinctive retro design, combined with its many usable tones, sets it apart from other instruments on the market. If you want to stand out from the crowd and sound like a star, the DiPinto Belvedere Standard is the best way to get noticed.

Emphysema, Congenital Lobar
Disorder Subdivisions
General Discussion
Congenital lobar emphysema is a rare respiratory disorder in which air can enter the lungs but cannot escape, causing overinflation (hyperinflation) of the lobes of the lung. It is most often detected in newborns or young infants, but some cases do not become apparent until adulthood. This disorder may be severe enough to cause associated heart problems (15% of cases) or so mild as to never become apparent. Some cases of congenital lobar emphysema may be caused by autosomal dominant inheritance while others occur for no apparent reason (sporadic).

ORLANDO, Fla. — SeaWorld Orlando is raising ticket prices.
The new ticket prices went into effect Tuesday, bringing the cost of a one-day adult ticket to $84.99. That's an increase of $3.
The Orlando Sentinel reports that multi-day passes pairing admission to SeaWorld and Busch Gardens in Tampa will rise by $10 to $134.99. Passes combining visits to SeaWorld, Busch Gardens and Aquatica will increase by $10 to $144.99. Orlando-based SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment owns all three parks.
This is the first price increase for SeaWorld's Florida parks since September 2011.
SeaWorld officials told the Sentinel numerous discounts and perks are available. Single tickets include a second day free, and Florida residents can get discounts when purchasing tickets online.
The increase comes about a month after Disney and Universal Orlando raised ticket prices.
NOTE: SeaWorld San Diego kept ticket prices the same, said spokesman David Koontz. San Diego prices went up by about $3 to $73 late last year.

Students Innovate with Digi: Formula Buckeyes
Some of the most creative applications of our products come from students. Every year, we are involved with student-led projects that are breaking new ground in industries like automotive, solar power, smart energy, and more. We support these efforts as it leads to insightful feedback on our products and fuels a talented workforce. Here is one of the many projects Digi is helping to support.
The Formula Buckeye SAE Race Team is made up of students from all disciplines. From mechanical engineers, to business, to art students, it's truly a team effort. The completely student led team must fund, design, build, and test, a high performance racing vehicle that will compete across the country in races with over 100 schools. The car can accelerate from 0-60 in 3.5 seconds!
This year, the team has decided to implement a telemetry project to monitor engine performance and troubleshoot issues. Data is currently stored locally on the car's ECU and this telemetry project would allow for remote access to these data points. The Digi product being used is an XTend Serial Module. With this module, they are able to read sensor data at a range of more than 15 miles!
Around 20 different sensors are gathering data on the car. They include:
- Engine Temperature
- Incoming Air Temperature
- Vehicle Speed
- Traction Control
- Steering Wheel Position
- On/Off Switches
- Manifold Air Pressure
- And More
They plan to create either a Java or Labview application, which will act as a virtual cockpit for the vehicle. The application will display the read outs of each sensor on a computer monitor. This will enable the team to remotely troubleshoot and diagnose performance issues in the vehicle. Future plans hope to accomplish remote control of the engine.
Preparations for the 2014 racing season are underway! Check out their website and Facebook Page for updates.
Are you student? Are you working with Digi products? Let us know how you are innovating on Twitter, our Facebook Page, or in the comments below. And check out the other student projects we are a part of here.

Radio Shack: Still Relevant for Neighborhood Engineers?
43 comments
The Wall Street Journal reported today that Radio Shack will close 1,100 stores, or about 20% of its total. Frankly, I've wondered how Radio Shack has survived this long anyway.
There is a Radio Shack in my local area, known as Coolidge Corner (see photo below). I go in once in a while if I happen to be on the block, but I hardly ever buy anything. I did buy a tool for making Ethernet cables and a few RJ-45 connectors for home wiring, plus some F-type connectors and a crimping tool for connecting cable TV.
Radio Shack stores vary greatly from one to the next. From a hobbyist or designer perspective, this store has a good selection -- for Radio Shack -- of components such as resistors, capacitors, and LEDs. It also carries soldering irons, meters, and even Arduino and Raspberry Pi kits. See the following pages for photos.
I was honestly surprised to see so many hobby products at the local store. But in general, why buy components from a Radio Shack when you can buy them online from major distributors such as Digi-Key and, in some cases, receive your parts the next day if you're willing to pay the delivery charge? If you happen to live near a real electronics component store such as You-Do-It Electronics or Fry's, you'll likely find more of the parts you need there than at Radio Shack.
There was a time when you could buy CB radios and other gear at Radio Shack. Then the company began selling computers such as its own TRS-80. No more. Now you can get phones and TVs, but why buy them there when you have so many other outlets -- often at better prices.
There was also a time when we had more local electronics stores that sold real parts and equipment, not just consumer devices. For example, do you remember Lafayette Radio Electronics in the New York area? I remember visiting the flagship store in Syosset with my father. The place seemed to have everything.
Some Lafayette catalogues are still floating around. The photo below shows one for sale at a local electronics swapfest known as the Flea at MIT. Last year, I also found a 1961 catalogue Linear Electronics. That Waltham, Mass., company existed into the early 1990s. In fact, I would regularly buy components for design when I worked at Extech, which was also in Waltham at the time. Linear Electronics was a tiny store, and it was a mess, yet it often had the components I needed.
Do you ever buy from Radio Shack? Is that because it's the only electronics store in your area? (I don't consider stores such as Best Buy to be electronics stores.) I can see myself buying from Radio Shack only when I need something right away and it happens to be in stock, as was the sace when adding connectors to the new home Ethernet and cable wiring.

The Phils' bat breaks the game open in the late innings, as they defeat the D-backs, 9-2.
The Phils' offense erupt for seven runs in the late innings, as they beat the D-backs, 9-2.
The Phils took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first as Jimmy Rollins started off the game for the Phils by launching the first pitch into the left center field seats for a home run, his fourteenth home run of the year. The D-backs then took the lead in the second as, with one man on, and with nobody out, Paul Goldschmidt hits a two-run home run, his third home run of the year, knocking in Chirs Young, who had lead off the inning with a walk, giving the D-backs a 2-1 lead. The Phils then tied the game up at two-all in their half of the second as, with one man on, and with nobody out, John Mayberry, Jr. hits an RBI single, scoring Hunter Pence, who had started the inning off with a double. The game then became a pitchers' duel between the Phils' starter Cliff Lee, who only gave up only two more hits after the homer to Goldschmidt, and one more walk after the walk to Young, for the next five innings, while striking out a total of seven batters, and D-backs' starter Joe Saunders, who would give up no more hits during the next four innings that he'd pitched, while walking a total of three Phils, as he struck out three. The Phils then retook the lead in the seventh as, with two men on, and with nobody out, Wilson Valdez hits a two-run double, scoring Pence, who had earlier walked, then went to third base on Mayberry's single, and Mayberry, who had just singled, giving the Phils a 4-2 lead. The Phils then made it a 5-2 lead as, with a runner now on third, as Valdez moved up a base on Brian Schneider's sacrifice bunt, 5-4, and with one man out, pinch hitter Ben Francisco hits a sacrifice fly, scoring Valdez. The Phils then broke the game wide open in the eighth as, with two men on, and with nobody out, Ryan Howard, who had started the inning off with a single, then stopped at second base on Pence's single, scored from second base on Mayberry's infield single, as third baseman Cody Ransom committed a throwing error, giving the Phils a 6-2 lead, while Pence, who had just singled, would stop at second base. Two batters later, after a force attempt throwing error by relief pitcher Brad Ziegler on a Valdez grounder loaded up the bases, as Pence beat out Ziegler's throw to third, while Mayberry would stop at second base, and Valdez would be safe at first, Schneider made it a 7-2 Phils' lead as he hits an RBI single, scoring Pence, while both Mayberry and Valdez would move up a base, leaving the bases still loaded. Two more batters later, with the bases still loaded, and now with one man out, Rollins hits a sacrifice fly, scoring Mayberry, making it an 8-2 Phils' lead. The Phils then took a 9-2 lead as Shane Victorino hits an RBI double, scoring Valdez, while sending Schneider on to third. That would be the final score as Ryan Madson easily handled the D-backs in the ninth.
Cliff Lee (13-7, 2.83) got the win, becoming the third Phils starter to reach thirteen wins, as he pitched seven innings, giving up just two runs on three hits and two walks, while striking out seven. Antonio Bastardo received his twelfth hold of the season as he pitched a 1-2-3 inning. Ryan Madson pitched a scoreless innings, giving up a walk, while striking out a batter. Joe Saunders (8-10, 3.91) took the lost as he went six innings, plus three batters, giving up five runs on five hits and four walks, while striking out three. Joe Paterson pitched an inning, giving up two hits. Brad Ziegler pitched to four batters, getting none of them out, as he gave up fours runs, only one of which was earned, on three hits and a walk. Zach Duke pitched an inning, giving up two hits.
The Phils had twelve hits in the ballgame, with most of their hits coming in their last two at-bats. John Mayberry, Jr. lead the team with three hits, all singles, as he knocked in a run. Jimmy Rollins (Single, Home Run, 2 RBIs), Shane Victorino (Single, Double, RBI) and Hunter Pence (Single, Double) all followed with two hits each. Ryan Howard (Single), Wilson Valdez (Single, 2 RBIs) and Brian Schneider (Single) had the other three Phils' hits. Pinch Hitter Ben Francisco knocked in one run with a sac fly, while another run (Howard) scored on Cody Ransom's throwing error.
The Phils (79-42, 1st East) will conclude their series with the D-backs (69-54, 1st West) with a night game tonight. The game will start at 7:05 pm EDT and will be played at Citizens Bank Park. The Phils will send to the mound Vance Worley (8-1, 2.85), who is coming off a no-decision against the Dodgers on August 10, as he went only four innings, giving up six runs on seven hits and three walks, while striking out six, in the Phils' 9-8 comback win. He will be trying to come back from that bad start. The D-backs will counter with their ace Ian Kennedy (15-3, 3.12), who is coming off a win against the Mets on August12, as he pitched seven innings, giving up a run on six hits and three walks, while striking out five, in the D-backs' 4-3 win. He will be going for his eighth win in a row. The Phils will be going for another series win, while trying to end Kennedy's winning streak.

Hello. , Beemerred here and I drive construction equipment to job sites out of St. Lou
Well, this week-end I left (FRI.) for Odessa, TX. Round Trip back to home and the Beemer crowd did us proud on I-44 all week-end long. Saw lots of GS`s, lots of RT`s and such and the occasional old airhead. I thought some were going to the MO. State Rally which I hope they move back to June next year and then on to the Nat. I CAN`T WAIT! to ride my new bike back to St. Louis. My finances are such right now that it`s my only way to have TWO bikes and if I do happen to win one I also can`t wait to stick it in front of my wife`s nose who said and I quote "You`ve never won anything in your life!!!" Well that would be almost as much fun as riding one home. Good Luck to everyone, enjoy the "RALLY" (remember there is A/C this year) and I`ll see you in the Beer Garden.

Starc, Siddle bowl Aust to victory
Pacemen Mitchell Starc and Peter Siddle have claimed nine wickets to bowl Australia to a 137-run victory late on day five of the first Test against Sri Lanka in Hobart on Tuesday.
Siddle (4-50) posted match figures of 9-104 while left-armer Starc (5-63) produced his second five-wicket haul in consecutive Tests.
Starc sliced through the tail as Sri Lanka lost 6-54 to be all out for 255 with 10.4 overs remaining after the home side had set a victory target of 393.
Australia's 137-run win came under duress with pace bowler Ben Hilfenhaus out of action after breaking down with a side strain during Sri Lanka's first innings.
The victory was also achieved with skipper Michael Clarke hobbling around at first slip after injuring a hamstring while batting in Australia's second innings.
Hilfenhaus has already been ruled out of the second Test starting on Boxing Day in Melbourne while Clarke is in doubt.
Sri Lanka had resumed on their overnight score of 2-65.
Siddle made the only breakthrough of the opening session when Michael Clarke completed a brilliant low catch at first slip despite nursing a hamstring injury to dismiss rival captain Mahela Jayawardene for 19.
Kumar Sangakkara was LBW to Shane Watson on 54 but the decision was overturned on appeal. However the star left-hander had no such luck on 63 when Siddle trapped him leg-before and this time the third umpire upheld the original decision.
Sri Lanka were looking safe at tea at 4-186 but Siddle struck in the 98th and 102nd overs to remove Angelo Mathews (19) and Thilan Samaraweera (49).
Starc stepped up in Australia's hour of need to claim the wickets of wicketkeeper Prasanna Jayawardene (21) and tailenders Nuwan Kulasekara (nine) and Rangana Herath (eight) who failed to keep out a yorker at 9-250.
Shaminda Eranga was last man out, caught behind off Starc at 6.04pm (AEDT).
Spinner Nathan Lyon, who was unable to bowl Australia to victory on day five of the Adelaide Test against South Africa last month, had no impact on Tuesday with figures of 0-57 from 32 overs.

Review: FRITT VILT (COLD PREY)
Posted by: Peter Hall
Directed by Roar Uthaug, 2006
Written by Thomas Moldestad and Roar Uthaug
There is an implacable aura to COLD PREY other modern slashers may not find relief in purely because it is Norwegian. Not that Roar Uthaug's film (top that name, by the way; I feel manlier just saying it out loud) gains any particular insight by its residence that would have gone undreamed written in any other tongue, but it's stale first third is ventilated from a Yank perspective by a country of origin not known for its slasher pictures. Once the co-ed band of skiers are established within the setting of an abandoned lodge atop a snow cap, the cultural barrier dissipates and what remains is an above average game of mouse and masked colossus with a pick axe.
If you ever wondered what a slasher from Norway would be like, and I can't imagine why one wouldn't concern themselves with such important matters, turns out it is exactly like an American slasher. FRITT VILT is eating at a Subway in Europe. It's familiar, you know what's on the menu, but the people behind the counter speak a different language. Okay, so maybe that part is none too different. They serve beer, though, so that's cool, right? Either way it's the same and not the same and that latter not grants an inexplicably fresh air to the proceedings.

So that you commit to lose weight quick huh? Properly you have come towards accurate location. More than adhering to few minutes I am going to share with you some beneath the radar strategies that can a person have dropping 25 pounds in as little as 25 days. This is not a joke. What I'm about to give away to you will have you dropping body fat faster then you ever believed doable.
Aside from ensuring it's whole grain goodness, every person important help to make it sure you're getting a good deal added all kinds of sugar. Check the label produce sure sugar is not within reduce costs 3 ingredients and it's sugars don't exceed 10 grams per serving. But the best technique to get a full grain is from it's origin – including raw oats, quinoa and buckwheat corn kernels.
Perhaps such an thinking really has some merit. But it makes no use whatsoever of developments in nutrition and using supplements. Granted, many may have a seeming endless list of questions regarding these types of. Nevertheless, the answers are right the web for anyone willing to look. They are mysterious or even dangerous enough to make consulting doctor necessary.
They involve low fat and low carbohydrate eating, keeping sugar and salt at much less than. And, they include fortifying one's diet with nutrients usually are seriously low in grocery store food. Associated with factors–diet and supplementation– are absolutely needed muscle repair and wind turbine. With both, a person can easily recover via a minor injury and also experience enthusiasm for regular daily workout. These are necessary for anyone wanting to do what end up being done, namely sticking that has a weight loss, fitness or body building routine for the long haul.
The beautiful scenery in spring may possibly people open-minded. It also promote cell metabolism, improve blood circulation, increase lumbar and leg muscle activity, strengthen cardiovascular and lung function, reduce blood fat and blood pressure, and quit cardiovascular ill health. Therefore, spring has a special role in health care.
The home food delivery service was made specially in this kind of people. It is also important you need to enjoy your food otherwise it would not have any effect.
The easiest to remove warts is often a to have a proactive stance and attack the cause as well as incredibly. Since we fully grasp that a weakened immune system makes you more susceptible, instead of rubbing those fruits globe your body, why not try incorporating them into your diet, and also speed settings whole body – plus your immune system – can reap the advantages?

Obviously I need to be able to do this on Windows 7/Server 2008 R2. Because, you know, the built in native TRIM isn't good enough or something.
Let me explain-
I have a test Hyper-V server that you gerbils helped me pick out SSDs for a while back (the samsung 830's are flipping amazing for this workload BTW). My existing board doesn't have SATA 6G so I tracked down a IBM 1015 which I then cross flashed to a LSI 9211 8i because all the cool kids cross dressflash RAID controllers these days. Even in IT mode however there is still a SAT layer which prevents the TRIM command from being passed.
I'd rather not run these without TRIM and would gladly run something once a week/month that would accomplish the same thing.
I know you could do this on XP Intel's toolbox for example, but I'm not entirely sure how one would go about this now days and with a Samsung drive. Any thoughts?

Negotiations behind the scenes are still going on, The Hollywood Reporter says, but things are heating up as Magical Elves, the folks behind Justin Bieber: Never Say Never, and the creators of Top Chef and Project Runway, are throwing their hat into the ring to work with Perry.
Perry is no stranger to the camera, having guest starred on How I Met Your Mother, voiced a Smurf, and just this week making a return to the small screen on Raising Hope. On the latter Perry played a rough and tumble security guard named Rikki, sporting the hint of a mustache and clownish red hair.

What would an M version of the E84 X1 look like? Something like this, X1M rendering.A French BMW blog decided to render their take on what an E84 X1 M would look like. The rendering obviously looks better than the real deal but the idea of an X1M is not really our cup of tea. Will it happen? Well, the X1 is very hot at the moment with demand far outstripping supply. As a matter of fact, BMW can not produce enough to even bring the car to the USA. What motor would this car get if produced? Likely a higher horsepower version of the N20 turbo 4 cylinder putting it somewhere in the 340 horsepower range. Will it happen? Time will tell but expect an X3M first.

Great point! +1
It seems like that is what would be taught on the first day at the Academy.
Core breach=bad
"Well, look at that! 'Breach hull, all die' - I even had it underlined!"
According to german side areadvd.de season 4 is scheduled for release in Germany on July 18th.
That pretty much lines up with what I saw on the Australia section of blu-ray.com. Apparently Paramount have set the release date for Season 4 as July 23 here.
Yes, those dates for S4 are accurate. Expect it around the 2nd week in July. We'll have some S4 news coming soon!
In the meantime - here's some more information on the special feature "Inside the Writers' Room" included on Season 3 - out in a few weeks!
I really hope that the restoration work in the Season 4 trailer measures up to CBS-D standards. I've already skipped season 2, I don't want to skip anymore.
As I've said at TrekCore, it's looking good to my eyes!
Looking forward to your Season 4 coverage. Yeah Season 3 comes out in a few weeks, but it's never too early to start thinking about Season 4. Hell, I'm excited in your report that you linked to that we might get a Braga commentary Track on Sub Rosa. Having commentary tracks on bad episodes is just as, if not more so, valuable than having them on good episodes in my opinion.
Season 2's visual effects restoration may not have been up to the standards of season 1, but they still look many times better compared to SD broadcasts. Furthermore, HTV's remastering of the live action elements can hardly be faulted and the VAM by Lay and Burnett is absolutely fantastic. You're missing out on a lot by skipping season 2.
Yes, you are right. He's missing out. Definitely S2 on Bluray is better than S2 on DVD. That is clear. But...
The truth is, however, we all are missing out because of the major HTV screwup.
The S2 VFX (ship shots, planets etc.) in majority are vastly sub par to the fantastic S1 (and so far looks like) S3 jobs.
And the reason is not because the original show is old and shots do not hold up, as evidenced by the same footage comparison between S1-S2-S3, but because HTV got greedy, lazy or incompetent.
Not sure how many German fans are here, but Amazon in Germany have a special edition steelbook version of TNG Season 3 available for pre-order. It looks stunning!
Greedy? Lazy? Let's not exaggerate. HTV's work is a mixed bag. Some shots look very poor, others look as good as the work done by CBS-D. Overal, the VFX was lacking but it still a huge improvement over the SD versions. And let us not pretend that HTV were the only ones to blame. Dan Curry, the Okudas's and CBS all dropped the ball on that season for not keeping closer tabs on the work being done by HTV. My point is, the season still looks and sounds way better than it has even done and is well worth getting.
I no longer feel like there's Vaseline smeared on the camera lens when watching season two. That alone made it worth the purchase.
Anticipation is very high at this point..the sheer thought I might get to see these fantastic episodes in HD is making me giddy
And no steelbook for the US. Well, at least we have Best Buy with our Best Buy-only special VAM content.
I just can't wait for the set to arrive.
Considering little more than a year ago, this was considered a pure wishful thinking and sci-fi on its own (remember this will never happen talks), I have still hard tim to believe it is happening.
S1 & S2 are more like...OK cool... but S3, thats where Star Trek started for me. Seeing all those episodes remastered into the superb quality shown by trailers, it is a dream come true.
Here's hoping DS9-R, another dream, will come true as well.
Many of those "Vaseline" scenes were caused by some of the widescreen pan-and-scan conversion shots, which we covered this week over at TrekCore:
I haven't received the full set for review yet, but the material I've seen so far is indescribably beautiful. I'm gonna have a hard time coming up with fresh adjectives to represent the quality I'm seeing from CBS Digital.
The only problem with this (and not a dig at your site, which I LOVE), is that you weren't critical on the work of season two until a bit after its release. You often posted about how people were rushing their complaints.
I am someone who isn't going to assume the new company is doing a poor job, but I also won't believe they are doing a good job also until we see footage to judge for ourselves.

Discussion in 'TV & Media' started by Starkers, Feb 9, 2013.
Ok thanks to everyone who entered, but there can be only one winner. Vote for 003! (Three)
Ack! I'm so sorry! I was talking to hubby and I misread the instructions and voted for 4. Ooops. I'm sorry Starkers! :-(
I just voted
Voted, I have.
Ooh! Lots of really tough contenders here. There are at least a couple that I feel really bad about leaving out. But my top 3 were:
Starkers because, while Timothy Dalton was my favorite James Bond, I think he's even better when playing villains. And nowhere does that show better than in Hot Fuzz. And to all those who didn't vote for Simon Skinner, "May their heads be struck from their shoulders!"
JiNX-01 because Lara Croft: Tomb Raider is one of my favorite action movies and is woefully underrated.
Showdown because, even when I vote for three, there can be only one!
Honorable mentions:
Chris3123 because any Doctor Who av is worth consideration.
Evil Twin because it's probably the best performance of Sean Connery's entire career.
auntiehill because, even though Cowboys & Aliens was a terrible movie, that's still a pretty badass shot of Daniel Craig.
Chris, Kai & Evil Twin. I had to vote for Kai just because Mars Attacks is one of my faves.
I'm sure it won't have affected the outcome too much
Well it was a close run thing, but I hereby declare Aragorn the winner! The next contest is yours...

text: I was watching some nostalgic former Raptors player's mixes by LONGER on youtube, and I came across one of formerly heralded Raptor, Pops Mensah Bonsu. I started thinking about the current situation at the 3 and it struck me that Pops played far better and harder than Fields and Pietrus. Maybe I'm crazy, but I think signing the fan favorite to another contract could help in the short term. What are your thoughts, Raptors Nation?

'I'm not some kingpin': Jeremy Meeks, 'hot mugshot guy', responds to online attention
Bad news for fans of California prison stud Jeremy Meeks - he's married with a 3-year-old child, it has been revealed.
Meeks, whose 'dreamy' mugshot went viral last week, told local TV he had been informed about his newfound internet fame by his wife.
"I appreciate [the attention] but I just want you to know this is not me, I'm not some kingpin," he told News10, a California news network.
Meeks' chiselled jaw and light blue eyes caught the world's attention when his mugshot was posted online by the Stockton Police Department. Since then it has appeared in a number of photoshopped memes, including ads for Calvin Klein and Givenchy. Several fan communities have popped up on Facebook, the largest of which has more than 126,000 'likes'.
The 30-year-old reportedly spent nine years in prison for 'grand theft' and has previously been involved in violent criminal gangs including the Northside Gangster Crips. He has been charged with illegal possession of firearms and ammunition, carrying a loaded weapon in public and street gang activity.
Police stopped Meeks as he was driving a car with two passengers away from a house that was due to be searched as part of an FBI anti-gang operation.
"A search of the passenger compartment yielded a 9mm round of ammunition and a small amount of what is believed to be marijuana," police said.
"A search of the trunk located an unregistered and loaded Springfield Armory .45 caliber XD(M) semi-automatic handgun along with two extended magazines for the firearm."
Mother Katherine Angier is now asking for money online to support her son, having so far raised $2680 from a goal of $25,000.
"Please help. My son was taken into custody on his way to work," she wrote. "He is a working man with a son. He is being stereotyped due to old tattoos...please help him to get a fair trial or else he'll be railroaded."
While no doubt many women and men would be interested in bailing Meeks out, at $900,000 it won't come cheaply.
Meeks' wife is furious and upset, according to Simone Johnson, a friend quoted by CBS local news. His brother, Bryan Varela, said Meeks is "a man who learns from his mistakes".

When Is Medication Uniformity Not Really Uniformity?
- Feb 3, 2014
- Topics:
Stakeholders said third-party Salix administration on race day is working well, but they indicated the "four-hour rule" for administration of the anti-bleeding medication really isn't uniform.

A Jan. 30 meeting of horse racing stakeholders in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions showed how difficult it can be to achieve uniformity, even with the best intentions or most basic of regulations.
Regulators and horsemen's representatives at the Delaware meeting said third-party administration of furosemide (also called Salix or Lasix) on race day is working well, but they indicated the "four-hour rule" for administration of the anti-bleeding medication really isn't uniform.
In Maryland, for instance, furosemide can be administered three to four hours before a race. In Delaware, the range is three-and-a-half to four hours prior to a race. Pennsylvania and New Jersey mandate the cut-off at four hours.
"If this is going to be uniform, we all need to be on the same page," said Todd Mostoller, executive director of the Pennsylvania Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association. "Just tell us what we need to follow. I just want everyone to follow it."
"The element of four hours is something we have to enforce," said Frank Zanzuccki, executive director of the New Jersey Racing Commission. "Everyone wants to comply with the Maryland rule, but this creates an issue for us."
Alan Foreman, chairman of the Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association (THA), said the long-held four-hour rule for furosemide was a "policy decision" not based on the science of use of the drug. Still, the national model rule being adopted from state to state maintains the standard four-hour administration cut-off.
Ed Martin, president of the Association of Racing Commissioners International, said the organization hasn't entertained changes in the administration time for furosemide because no one has asked about it. "It seems to me more states are adhering to four hours than are not, so I would consider (keeping that policy)," Martin said.
The group also discussed issues with flunixin meglumine, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that is on the list of 24 therapeutic medications with threshold testing levels and withdrawal times. Officials said the advised administration of 20 nanograms at 24 hours before a race is problematic and in need of more research.
In New York, a study was done using 20 horses in the care of trainer Rick Violette Jr. The advised dose and administration time of flunixin meglumine (also called Banamine) resulted in four or five positives, extremely high given the number of horses sampled. Another study produced similar results in California.
Violette, president of the New York THA, said there is concern among horsemen that following guidelines and rules isn't enough to avoid positives and penalties. He likened the process to "using a sundial" to set administration times but then using pinpoint technology to test for substances.
"As trainers, we want to be told what we can do and sleep at night," Violette said.

This is a head scratcher.
Darius Maskoliunas was Jonas Valanciunas' head coach at Lietuvos Rytas last season and recently shared some of his thoughts on Toronto's first round pick from the 2011 NBA Draft.
He works hard in practice and never talks back, Maskoliunas said. Hes 100 percent concentrated. It was a pleasure to work with him."
Valanciunas is unlikely to play for the Raptors before the 12-13 NBA season.
I see him as a Chris Bosh type, Maskoliunas said. He can play back to the basket, facing the basket He has to take that mid-range shot. He can shoot it. But he can run, he can rebound, he even has a three-point shot."
Personally, I think that Bosh has a better mid-range game. From the videos I've seen and some games watched, JV's a back-to-the-basket kinda guy with relentlessness for put-backs and dunks. I'm not sure if the comparison is apt. Thoughts?
