School me on Home Theater-in-a-box? Need some suggestions to look at
Hi all,
I am going to be researching some Home Theater-in-a-box systems but wanted to get a jump start here by soliciting for some recommendations that you've all had practical experience with (good experience)?
Presently I have a JBL SCS500SAT surround speaker setup married to a Harman Kardon AVR 146 receiver. System works out fine except for the fact the AVR 146 does not process digital data through HDMI, it just "passes" through the data requiring me to have separate connections for audio and video. Here's where the problem lies.
We recently moved into a new home that has a wall mount above the fireplace and is wired in the wall with an HDMI cable, red/green/blue component wires in addition to two sets of analog red/white audio and yellow video. In my old place using an optical cable for the audio was no problem, but for this new setup it's not an option because of the placement of the hidden wiring that comes out of the wall from the TV mount. I cant run an optical to where I have a tower that will house my receive and a blu-ray DVD player (that I have NEVER used). So I am guessing that my only option is to find a receiver (or system-in-a-box that processes HDMI data so that I do not need separate audio/video connections?
Am I wrong in this thinking or correct? I am by no means an audiophile, nor remotely close to being an electronics guru. I actually do not like setting up all of this stuff myself.
Crutchfield is a great place to start but their HT products are basically separate components and are pricey. I was thinking just going Best Buy (which is where I bought my first system) to gather intelligence and see if I can snag something on Amazon Prime. I'm not looking to spend a fortune here, I've already done that in purchasing this house and then all of the stuff we've needed since. Budget is really no more than $400 if I can swing it, I'd like to sell my current setup to help offset the cost. I havent' even begun looking so I'm not even aware of what I am getting myself into price wise for a home theater system in a moderate budget. Maybe $400 isn't even in the same realm, I don't know.
Thanks for reading and for any information/recommendations you can provide!
Edit: I do not care about 3D just to be clear.

I'd be tempted to use adapters that can be had from here:

first step is to decide what you want it to do. you have bluray and you have I would guess some form of sat/cable receiver and want a receiver to switch them. if you are never using the bluray and don't plan on it, run the hdmi to the tv and use the red/white pair back to the audio input on your receiver and job done, no money spent. if you are happy with the current sound, then no reason to step to 5.1digital sound.
won't take advantage of the bluray output, but you can also run hdmi from sat/cable to tv, use the rgb from bluray to other tv input and then connect tv to one receiver input and bluray audio outs to another input and done. again no money spent but really not taking advantage of bluray quality and still no 5.1 sound.
if you want a new setup, go to bestbuy and tell the guy what you have. they will be able to show you several sets from different manuf. that will have a small amp/switching box for 2-3hdmi inputs, a 5ch speaker system and a powered sub in the $4-500 range that will sound good. it'll be easy to install, easy to switch and be a solid tv setup, although lack the quality of sound if you enjoy music on a 2ch mode..
one other option is to check craigslist if you live in a metro area. lots of audiophiles switching gear all the time and might be able to find a 7-900 setup for 4-500 that's gently used. find the right guy to demo it and they will also love to walk you through how to install and setup as well. did that with the guy that bought my old polk setup. we talked for almost 2hrs on the system.
my .02 at the end of the day... budget $69 for the harmony remote control if you havent.. http://www.logitech.com/en-us/produc...te-650?crid=60
that remote is the shizznit at controlling a multi-piece setup, great pricepoint, easy to use and even easier to program. It's my 3rd harmony and the best one yet. bought it 2 months ago..

And after doing some prelim research I may just need a new receiver, rather than choosing a HT in a box and replacing the whole system. Others seem to enjoy the JBL system I have and to be honest I never really had a problem with it.
I would really prefer not having to resort to analog audio. I have a nice speaker setup and a nice room for it with everything all pre-wired (even F/R and surrounds) so I'd like to be able to have it setup correctly.
Good point about checking CL, hadn't thought of that even though I've been scouring it for other stuff we need for the home. I have had the Harmony One in the back of my mind for years now but just couldn't pull the trigger on a +$150 remote control. You like the 650 I assume? I would LOVE to get rid of the multi-remote setup I have going on now, what a fiasco!!
Just a receiver $249.99
Or Pioneer $249.99
I will take your advice and just head to BB and bring my owner's manual for the receiver and system and see what they say. It's better than trying to do all this research myself since I don't know anything about it....

max I would disagree with you. I just replaced my onkyo txds838(15years of faithful service) with a yamaha 675 from best buy. price was one of the lowest I could find. granted I don't consider it real high end, but if cig was looking for something beyond what bestbuy sells, he probably wouldn't be asking for advice on here. bestbuy owns magnolia and ships to stores. I would consider them on the moderate side of high end systems...
cig.. if you are happy with the speaker sound, then just go invest $3-400 in a decent hdmi-switching receiver and keep them. ht in a box isn't going to give you anything different if speakers are still good. this leaves you with the $$ for that remote. I would highly recommend it. I replaced my old harmony with this new one and difference is night and day. if it was my money, I'd spend it on either yamaha(first choice) or onkyo. yamaha seems to have a little better rep. onkyo will have a few more features for the $$ but doesn't sound like that's important to ya and they have had a few quality issues on some of the newer units.
on an unrelated note, assuming you have a sub? that makes all the difference imo to a setup.'06 Supra Launch 20SSV-gone but never forgotten

Wireless with Bluetooth? Is the technology there yet to deliver sound as good as wired? My LR is already wired up. Maybe wireless for the bonus room if I ever get around to it down the road.

CHESTERFIELD, Mich. - Police have a man in custody after the gunpoint robbery of a man on his way to work in Chesterfield Sunday morning.
Police say 18-year-old Alontez Willis of Mount Clemens pulled a gun on a man who was walking from a bus stop to the Bed, Bath, and Beyond on Waterside Drive.
The 19-year-old victim from Warren, told police he got off the bus at 23 Mile Road and Gratiot.
He said a man also got off the bus and followed him down Vergote street.
The victim reported the man tapped him on the shoulder and asked him for a cigarette.
The suspect then pulled a handgun out of his pocket and held it to the man's temple while ordering him to empty his pockets.
The victim gave the robber his wallet and cell phone.
Police say the suspect fled and attempted to hail a bus as police units approached the scene.
The suspect fled on foot after seeing police.
Police searched the area and discovered Willis hiding in a dumpster on South Leona Drive.
The loaded .22 revolver and the victim's cell phone were found in the dumpster and the wallet was later recovered and returned.

Inbox: Will A-Rod wear pinstripes in '13?
Beat reporter Bryan Hoch answers Yankees' fans questions
By Bryan Hoch / MLB.com
There is less than a week to go before the Yankees begin filtering into the home clubhouse at George M. Steinbrenner Field, unzipping the bags that were sent south from New York on Friday. With Hot Stove season about to conclude, let's take one last winter look into the Inbox:
With the latest round of performance-enhancing drug allegations and rumblings of hip trouble, is there a chance the Yankees can escape the $114 million left on Alex Rodriguez's contract?
-- Justin N., Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
This was the most common question asked this week, so let's not waste any time getting to it. The short answer is that it's extremely unlikely, though we shouldn't be surprised by reports that the Yankees plan to go through Rodriguez's contract with a fine-toothed comb to explore their options once Major League Baseball's investigation is complete.
Rodriguez has denied any wrongdoing through a spokesperson, but even if it is found to be true that he received PEDs from the Biogenesis clinic, it would still only count as Rodriguez's first offense under the collectively-bargained Joint Drug Agreement. That could produce a 50-game suspension (during which Rodriguez would not be paid), but would not necessarily be grounds to void a contract. The Collective Bargaining Agreement, not individual teams, dictates repercussions for PED use. Those repercussions are restricted to suspensions and bans based on the number of positive tests; voiding of contracts is not included. There's no precedent to voiding a contract under those conditions; remember, the Yanks looked into voiding Jason Giambi's contract in 2004 and were unsuccessful.
So what are the choices? The Yankees could release A-Rod and eat $114 million -- a figure which would still count against the luxury tax, offering no help to Hal Steinbrenner's budget plans -- or they could trigger a messy divorce battle by trying to buy their way out of the deal. Rodriguez could also retire and forfeit the remaining money on his contract, but the odds of that happening aren't very good.
That brings us to the Albert Belle route, where Rodriguez would collect his full salary if it's decided that he must retire because he is physically unable to continue playing due to his hip condition. The Yankees would be refunded approximately 85 percent of his salary by insurance, but since Rodriguez's superstar doctors and the Yanks have both agreed that he should be back on the field and productive in 2013, that scenario doesn't seem terribly likely, either.
The most probable outcome is that the plan stays exactly as it was before the Miami New Times article came out -- A-Rod will rehab from surgery as a Yankee, with hopes of rejoining the big league club after the All-Star break. Beyond that, who knows? The chances of him finishing the 2017 season as a healthy and productive player at age 42 are questionable, but many suspected that would be the case when the Yankees offered the massive deal in the first place. We can be sure about one thing: Now, there will be much more noise surrounding his return.
Have a question about the Yankees?
E-mail your query to MLB.com Yankees beat reporter Bryan Hoch for possible inclusion in a future Inbox column. Letters may be edited for brevity, length and/or content.
Do you see Brett Gardner shifting over to center and Curtis Granderson moving to left field?
-- John P., Hyde Park, N.Y.
I do. The Yankees are keeping their options open and we probably won't know for sure until we actually see Granderson standing in left field, but there's a strong case to be made that Gardner is a better defensive choice and the Yanks realize that. There's some question about how Granderson would adjust to left field, but I wouldn't be too concerned about that. No matter how they're aligned, the outfield of Gardner, Granderson and Ichiro Suzuki promises to be solid defensively.
What are the chances that Eduardo Nunez plays third base this year, leaving Kevin Youkilis and Travis Hafner to split time at designated hitter?
-- Mike D., New York City
I don't see it, at least on a regular basis. If the Yankees felt that Nunez was ready to handle third base for a full season, they probably wouldn't have dug up the $12 million to bring Youkilis on board. Nunez will have to adjust to a utility role if he's on the big league roster. In a reversal from the shortstop-or-nothing stance we heard last year, general manager Brian Cashman is now saying that they could put Nunez anywhere except catcher or pitcher. Youkilis should be the Opening Day third baseman and Hafner will DH against right-handed pitching.
Has Nunez's trade value dropped so low that the Yankees couldn't get a utility infielder or a fourth outfielder for him? His fielding may not be Bronx material, but he could start for a few clubs elsewhere.
-- Andrew S., Fairport, N.Y.
If the Yankees were entertaining trading Nunez for that type of player, they would have to take a step back and realize that Nunez might still be a better option than what they could find on the trade front. Nunez has shown promise that his bat will translate at the big league level, and even with his fielding issues, I would think you'd rather roll the dice and take another shot at making the utility role stick for him. That's the plan for this spring, and if it doesn't work, Nunez can always be their DH against lefties, or go down to Triple-A to keep working on his defensive skills.
Why wasn't Mason Williams invited to Spring Training? Could he get any playing time this spring?
-- Michael B., Windermere, Fla.
Williams is coming off surgery to repair his left labrum, which ended his season after he attempted a diving catch in August, but he's expected to be fully recovered and ready to go this spring. He's probably one year away from a full invite, but Williams snuck into a few games last spring with the big league squad, and manager Joe Girardi seemed interested in seeing him. It wouldn't be a surprise to see Williams come over from Minor League camp and get a few at-bats or pinch-running opportunities again.

SNOW HILL – Federal officials yesterday morning swarmed two businesses and a residence in Snow Hill in connection with a massive sting operation conducted over the last several months targeting 39 suspects involved in an extensive money laundering scheme involving funds the suspects thought were being diverted to terrorism operations and the bribing of immigration officials for illegal permanent resident cards.
Early yesterday morning, federal officials including the FBI and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raided two businesses in Snow Hill in connection with a months-long undercover sting operation targeting as many as 39 suspects. Raided were the Your Stop convenience store and the Chicken Man restaurant on West Market Street in Snow Hill as well as a private residence.
The raids were carried out shortly before U.S. District Court officials announced four indictments involving 39 defendants, many of whom were operating in Snow Hill, Ocean City and other locations on the lower Eastern Shore. The indictments arose from Operation Cash-Out, a months- long undercover sting investigation involving extensive international money laundering and bribery schemes. One of the indictments was connected to a suspect who allegedly attempted to conceal terrorist financing.
One of the four separate indictments specifically implicates several Snow Hill residents as well as residents of Salisbury and Parsonsburg. Two of the defendants named in the indictments issued in Baltimore yesterday owned and operated the two businesses targeted during yesterday's raid in Snow Hill and other defendants worked in the businesses.
Mohammed Gujjar, a Pakistani native who is a naturalized U.S. citizen, has owned and operated the Your Stop Food Market in Snow Hill since 1995. Also named was Mohammed Ijaz, the brother of Gujjar, who has owned and operated the Chicken Man store in Snow Hill since 1993.
According to the indictments, an undercover operative working with FBI and ICE officials represented himself as the owner of an import-export business with ties to drug trafficking and the trafficking of illegal cigarettes. The undercover operative also told the defendants he had the capability of funneling funds to terrorism cells around the globe and also had the capability of funneling bribes to U.S. Immigration officials for illegal permanent residency cards, according to the formal indictment.
"Afridi Services, trading as Afridi Trading, was a fake import/export company utilized by an individual acting in an undercover capacity under the supervision of law enforcement agents with ICE and the FBI," the indictment against several Snow Hill and Eastern Shore officials reads. "At the direction of ICE and FBI agents, this 'cooperating witness' represented himself to be involved in numerous illegal activities including large scale international drug trafficking, international smuggling of counterfeit cigarettes and other goods and contraband.
"The cooperating witness also represented that he had connections to high-placed federal and Maryland state government employees who would be willing to accept bribes in exchange for undertaking official acts of contravention of their lawful duties," the indictment reads. "Specifically, the cooperating witness represented that in exchange for specific quantities of U.S. currency, his Immigration contacts would be willing to issue lawful permanent resident cards and his contacts in the Office of the Comptroller of Maryland would be willing to abate business-related tax assessments."
It was the bribing of Immigration officials for illegal permanent resident cards that caught most of the defendants listed in the indictment from the Snow Hill area. The indictment lists several incidents during which defendants from Snow Hill passed substantial sums of money through the undercover agent believing the funds were headed to Immigration officials as bribes. Many of the incidents occurred in Snow Hill and a few of the transactions actually took place in Ocean City.
For example, on or about March 10, 2006, Gujjar and others met with the undercover operative in Snow Hill and provided him with $15,000 in U.S. currency to give an Immigration official was the first payment of a $40,000 bribe to induce said official to illegally issue lawful permanent resident cards to two illegal immigrants. Similar incidents are listed throughout the indictment including a handful of transactions that occurred in Ocean City. For example, on or about Oct. 11, 2006, Gujjar met with the cooperating witness in Ocean City and provided him with a $5,000 second and final payment of a $20,000 bribe for illegal permanent resident cards. In all, hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes for illegal resident cards were passed in the Snow Hill and Ocean City areas.
It's important to note the "cooperative witness" was acting as an operative for the FBI and ICE and no actual bribes were accepted by Immigration officials or the Comptroller's Office. According to a source, federal prosecutors made it clear during yesterday's press conference the sting was carried out with no actual bribes reaching state of federal officials.

By Andrew Aragon, For the Express-News
SALT LAKE CITY — Devin Harris finally showed up. The Utah Jazz found a way to slow down Tony Parker. Derrick Favors got the much-deserved playing time he'd been clamoring for, and for the first time in their first-round Western Conference playoff series, the Spurs had to sweat.
But all that happened in the first half of the Spurs' 102-90 victory over the Jazz in Game 3 on Saturday night that gave them a 3-0 series lead. After halftime, the Jazz regressed to the team that lacked confidence in miserable defeats at the AT&T Center in Games 1 and 2.
Harris was again a non-factor. Favors sat the first eight minutes of the third quarter. The Jazz's offensive execution was the opposite of San Antonio's unselfish, well-oiled machine. They didn't the push the ball as much, settled for long jumpers and rushed offensive possessions.
Same old Jazz. Same old Spurs. Same old result.
"It hurts because it puts us down 3-0," said Utah coach Tyrone Corbin. "It's a tough loss. I thought we played better. We just couldn't put it together to get over the hump against these guys."
Game 4 is Monday night, and it's just a matter of time before the Spurs advance to the Western Conference semifinals and the Jazz have all summer to collect their thoughts and think about what went wrong.
It's no mystery. Utah has no consistent answer for Parker, gets pushed around too much by the Spurs and lets San Antonio dominate the paint. And it takes more than one half of decent basketball to defeat a top-seeded juggernaut like the Spurs.
"They're a great basketball team that doesn't make many mistakes," said Jazz forward Paul Millsap. "We have to play them the full 48 minutes."
In the first half of Saturday's game, unlike Games 1 and 2, the Jazz had hope.
Harris flashed his former All-star self, scoring 14 of his 21 points. He was aggressive in getting to the basket, played with confidence and got his teammates involved. That was a far cry from the first two games of the series when he had five points and an assist in Game 2. He had seven points and two assists in Game 1.
Having the 6-foot-8 Gordon Hayward defend Parker finally neutralized the standout 6-foot-2 guard — at least in the first half and much of the third quarter. Parker couldn't drive into the paint against the bigger defender and had to settle for jump shots.
Favors had seven points and seven rebounds in the first half and gave the Jazz a spark with his energy and hustle in the 16 minutes he played.
But much like the second quarter of Game 2, things started to go wrong for the Jazz, and they hung their heads. This time it occurred during the third quarter. Back-to-back 3-pointers by Danny Green and Stephen Jackson made it 66-60, and it was just enough to place some doubt back in the minds of the Jazz.
"We just got to make the plays down the stretch," Hayward said. "We get some stops, and we can get some more easy buckets instead of just getting tough ones on our end."
Hayward said hope is still alive for the Jazz.
"We can take the fact that we're still alive," he said. "We still got another game. We still have another chance."

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Daytona Beach police arrested a Bethune-Cookman professor for allegedly trying to meet with a minor for sex.
According to an arrest report, Brian Jansen, 44, used the Internet and his cell phone to arrange a meeting with a girl he thought was 14-year-old. However, the girl was actually an undercover cop.
Investigators said Jansen took a substantial step towards bringing about or engaging in a sexual activity when he drove from his home at 142 San Robar Drive Holly Hill to where he believed he would be engaging with some form of sexual activity with a 14-year-old girl.
On Thursday, investigators said Jansen had exchanged emails with the undercover officer back and forth. Eventually, Jansen wanted to meet with who he thought was a 14-year-old somewhere in Daytona Beach, driving a purple Dodge minivan.
After contacting the undercover officer, authorities said Jansen was arrested Thursday by the Daytona Beach Police Department, where police said he uttered "I knew it, I knew it. My life is over, I made a stupid decision."
According to the arrest report, Jansen stated that he had been successful in the past, securing sexual intercourse with women he had met on online sites, and that he came to the same location to meet the 14-year-old girl that he had been chatting with.

D-backs forced to keep moving Prado around
By Steve Gilbert / MLB.com
SAN FRANCISCO -- Ideally, D-backs manager Kirk Gibson would like to leave Martin Prado at third base every day.
But things are not ideal right now for the D-backs. Not with key injuries depleting their roster and an offense that has struggled of late to score runs.
Gibson said last week in New York that after Prado played four positions in two days, he wanted to settle on a position for him.
However, Prado started at third Saturday, second Sunday and in left field Monday.
By playing Prado in left rather than third Monday, Gibson was able to get Eric Chavez's bat into the lineup at third.
"I don't want to do it," Gibson said. "We need more offense, so that's just the way it worked out. Ideally I don't have to do it. What I said initially, I said if you need to do it, he can take it. I do believe there's more stability, I think, if you leave them in one spot more often. He's not a utility guy."
Prado is off to a slow start offensively, hitting .241, but Gibson does not believe that has anything to do with shuffling him around.
"He's fine; he just loves to play," Gibson said. "Prado is one of those guys that when things don't go well he works harder; he wants a bigger challenge."
Montero optimistic hitting will come around
SAN FRANCISCO -- Miguel Montero entered Monday's game 2-for-19 through the first six games of this road trip, but the D-backs catcher is not overly concerned.
"I feel all right, I don't feel bad," Montero said. "Just haven't got a hit. I'm seeing the ball good. I'm laying off too many good pitches and swinging at too many bad pitches. I just have to make the transition to swing at the good pitches and lay off the bad pitches."
Don't misunderstand: Montero is not pleased with the numbers, but he also understands that it's a long season and he knows that things have a way of evening themselves out, especially when you have a track record of being a good hitter like he does.
What bothers him most is not coming through with runners in scoring position and a chance to break open a game.
Yet each day he comes to the park, he said, he thinks could be the day that he turns it around.
"Obviously you want to get hits and especially at key moments," Montero said. "I've had a couple of opportunities to bring a couple of guys in and change a game, but it's part of the game; everyone goes through it. I don't feel like I'm in a slump; I don't feel like I'm struggling. I'm just not getting any hard hits. It will come. Today could be different. One day I'm going to wake up and feel good at the plate."
D-backs hope to follow Giants' example
SAN FRANCISCO -- The D-backs have a tremendous amount of respect for the Giants and in some ways have used the Giants as a model in building their team.
"I think they're a pretty good example by what they do," D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said.
The Giants have won two of the last three World Series, so that in and of itself is something to admire, but it's their style of play that attracts the D-backs.
The D-backs believe that, like the Giants, their team is built around pitching, and this past offseason they continued their trend toward acquiring hitters with better plate discipline and a grind-it-out mentality, much like what they feel the Giants have.
Gibson is even a big fan of Giants manager Bruce Bochy.
"They battle, but they're good at everything," Gibson said. "They're just a well-rounded team. They do so many things good, I think you have to match it. Bochy has been doing it for a while -- respect him tremendously; he's a good friend. Love competing against him and there's a lot to learn by watching what they do."
The crowds at AT&T Park can be rough on visiting teams, but Gibson even likes that.
"It's good, it's a good environment," he said. "Good city, fun place to play."

helloIm from cornwall and im trying to identify a spider. I havent got a photo unfortunatly but the lil fellow we found at work in our warehouse yesterday is about 5mm it is black with two horizontal white stripes on its abdomon it looks a little fuzzy and had very big pincers its was a good lil jumper too. I thought it looked rather cute but my collegues thought i was crazy they were saying it might be a false window but i explained to them it wasnt even the right shape to be a widow let alone colour not that it would matter as they dont harm you if you leave em alone. i dont know much about spiders but i like them and was interested couldnt find what it was looking on ID websites but maybe if you could suggest a few species i could look them up and see if they match. thanks
It sounds like a good description of Salticus scenicus a.k.a. the zebra spider, the most common type of jumping spider found around houses etc. See -

Jennifer's gift
Often in the communities where World Vision works, blessings abound.
Two weeks ago, our writer Kari Costanza discovered a new blessing: Mercy, a young mother in Zambia whose village believed her possessed because she had malaria so often, her 7 year old son Steven, and their whole village no longer get malaria!
Kari also discovered that the American couple that sponsors Steven are her friends! And the greatest gift to Mercy and Steven. Read their story!
I'll be honest. One of the reasons I love reporting stories in the field for World Vision is that I see God at work. The work is challenging and often heartbreaking, but along the way, blessings abound.
It happened today.
World Vision photographer Jon Warren and I were reporting a story on malaria in Hamaundu, Zambia, interviewing Mercy Mumbala, 27, a mother of five. Malaria did more than nearly kill her. It made her the town freak show.
"Whenever I had malaria," says Mercy, "I would have seizures. It has been perpetual. We never had two weeks of being well. It was quite difficult. We thought we were bewitched."
So did her neighbors.
Rennie Miyoba, a World Vision-trained caregiver who would check on Mercy, says, "I had to visit her regularly because she had malaria so much. I would help take her to the hospital. People said she had demons. It was like a show for everyone to watch."
"I wouldn't know what happened," says Mercy. "I didn't know what was going on until I opened my eyes and saw people staring at me."
And then Mercy's son Steven got malaria.
"That fateful day, my son Steven was experiencing a high body temperature. I took him to the hospital," she says. "They gave him an injection and then sent us home. I put him on the bed to sleep. I saw his him turn his eyes upside down." They went back to the clinic.
Steven, now 7, shut down. "He was just quiet," remembers Mercy. "He didn't shake or make noise. At that point, I was frightened. I thought he was going to die. He couldn't walk. We went to the hospital for two weeks."
After a time, he opened his eyes. "He could not move his body, his hands, or legs. But when he ate food, I knew he would survive," says Mercy. "Then he began to sit up. He was weak and very thin. He couldn't do things on his own. Malaria is truly a terrible disease."
World Vision distributed mosquito nets—with training on how to use them properly—in the village right after Steven was stricken.
"I feel good now. I do not suffer anymore," says Mercy. "There's more dignity to my life. I feel blessed by God that I'm still here. The son of the principal died, but I survived." And so did Steven.
"Now we no longer suffer from malaria," says Mercy. "The hospital no longer treats malaria cases," she adds.
Steven is healthy again. He's shy and sweet. He has a sponsor in the United States who visited him in 2011.
"She told us that they have two kids and that they sell motorcycles," says Mercy.
I ask if they have a picture of Steven's motorcycle-selling sponsor and Steven runs into the house to find one. When I look at the family smiling back at me, I see it is my friends, Mark and Jennifer Smith.
A few years ago, I traveled to Ethiopia with the Smiths to visit World Vision water projects. Jennifer is effusive. Mark is a little more reserved. But in Ethiopia, he had a profound experience, carrying a heavy jerry can of water to the home of Kuma Wanboro, an Ethiopian father who had lost a daughter to sickness caused by dirty water. Mark was never the same after that walk.
In 2011, Jennifer visited Zambia. "Only Jennifer came," says Mercy. "I was really excited. When I saw her, I knew she was a loving person, that she is loving and kind."
Now it is Mercy's turn to be effusive. "Tell her that I met you," she says. "Tell her I say hello. I was so moved when she visited. She brought clothes and sweets. It made me realize that God has his own way of doing things."
Dozens of chicks scamper about underneath the guava trees as Mercy marvels at Jennifer and her kindness.
"I see God in our relationship," she says. "I see developments happen in our family as a result of sponsorship. I see God in the middle of it." For that, she gives thanks.
"I pray for Jennifer," she says. "I am thankful that she sponsored my child. It's not about gifts. The most important thing is that she has given herself to my child."
For Mercy and Steven, Jennifer herself is the greatest gift they could have.
But I ask Steven one last question—if Jennifer might send him something, what would it be?
"I would love some cookies," he says.
While Jon photographs Steven with one of the World Vision-provided mosquito nets that now protects his entire family from the deadly disease, I go to the car. We have cookies there. They would be the perfect gift for Steven.
I walk back to the family's home. "If Jennifer were here, she'd want you to have these," I say, presenting Steven with delicious chocolate cookies. A big, bright smile replaces the shy grin he's been wearing.
It's time to let the family get back to the business of life—a life free of malaria and brimming with possibilities. Mercy gets busy cooking beans tonight with mustard greens and the local maize, nshima.
And thanks to Jennifer, there will be cookies for dessert.
Be the greatest gift in a child's life! Choose a child in Zambia to sponsor today.

What was your best experience in the field covering this story?
It was great to be at a conference in the Afar region and announce that National Geographic had committed to funding the construction of an interpretive center in the village of Eloha, where people can learn about Lucy—the famous 3.2 million-year-old human ancestor—right near Hadar, the site where she was discovered. And I was honored to go to Eloha and sit down with the village elders and the Ethiopian minister of culture at a festive goat dinner, where the townspeople presented me and the minister with traditional Afar knives. The entire village was celebrating the planned center, which will not only benefit their children but will also designate the town as the tourist destination spot for Lucy. It was wonderful that National Geographic could contribute something to a group of people who, through their decades of toil as field workers on paleoanthropological expeditions at Hadar, helped bring so many wonderful finds to the attention of the world.
What was your worst experience in the field covering this story?
One day at the Lucy site, storm clouds started moving in. Bill Kimbel, a member of the Dikika baby study team, said, "Oh, no! We better get out of here." But the rest of us wanted to stay and look around for fossils. Bill was getting nervous because he's been going to that region for years, and he knew how bad it could get.
As it started to drizzle, he finally managed to get us back to the Land Rover. By the time we had driven halfway to camp, the dry plains had turned to slippery mud and became crisscrossed with fast moving little streams. The Land Rover started slip-sliding all over the place, and we got stuck as we tried to cross a stream. We tried to work the car out of the water, but the mud was so slippery that we couldn't get any traction. Finally, we just had to leave the car there and walk back to camp, totally soaked, muddy, and humiliated that Bill was right.
What was your quirkiest experience in the field covering this story?
When I was in Addis Ababa, I was invited to the palace of Haile Selassie—the Ethiopian emperor who was deposed in 1974—to see his treasures. The collection was set up in the basement like a museum exhibit, reflecting what a head of state might acquire after being in power all of his life: autographs from movie stars, silver bowls and finery from fellow royals, and gifts from foreign dignitaries. But probably the most precious things there were the emperor's beautiful, ornate crowns; big, golden scepters; plush robes; and gilded throne. And in the garage, he had an extensive collection of Rolls-Royces and other luxury cars, limousines, and even an elaborate European-style carriage. Yet, not far from the palace gates, the streets were lined with the sick and infirm, and kids would run up to cars begging for a little money to buy something to eat. I understand the need for royal splendor, but it was strange to see such wealth juxtaposed with such poverty.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) – Haiti's government has declared the search and rescue phase for survivors of the earthquake over, the United Nations announced Saturday, saying there is little hope of finding more people alive 11 days after much of the capital was reduced to rubble. The statement from the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs came a day after an Israeli team reported pulling a man out of the debris of a two-story home and relatives said an elderly woman had been rescued. Experts say the chance of saving trapped people begins diminishing after 72 hours, but one mother still missing her children said it's too soon to give up.

You've probably noticed numerous military (or special operators) personnel acting out against Democrats and President Obama. Some are active duty, some are retired. All are leveraging their public-funded training and experience for partisan advantage.
Military Headaches Come In Threes?
The three most recent incidents are: (i) a group of low-ranking active duty military committing murder to further a scheme to assassinate the president; (ii) a former SEAL trying to publish a book on the UBL raid without submitting it for clearance; and (iii) that now well-known front group of former SEAL and special operators attacking Obama for the election. (Video h/t @Sam_Lowry_USA).
No one should deny anyone's First Amendment rights if retired and in compliance with classification rules. Still, these examples risk creating the perception of the military as just another partisan special interest group. And it's perceptions that are important here.
Senior military leadership have an opportunity to set or re-establish bright, emphatic lines of expected behavior. And communicate what's permissible, even if unwelcome. In a healthy domestic political environment, much of that would be undertaken by both parties. What is crucial is that communication occurs.
We're just entering the first phase of resource contraction for the military/intelligence/contractor community after unprecedented largesse. Severe domestic cuts are also likely, regardless of November's results. The service chiefs need to look ahead.
The Military Benefits From Clarifying Bright Lines
Chairman JCS Dempsey's statements that he's "disappointed" by recent events and that they "don't make my job any easier" are candid but only a tepid first step. Admiral McRaven's reaction to the SEAL book, while adhering to an unwritten code of understatement, should be only the beginning in clarifying for the public what is or isn't permissible activity. Especially after a year of 'leaks' being used as a partisan wedge issue.
Public trust is a crown jewel for the military but can be fragile. Internal military cultural signals, personnel shifts, etc. to address recent events won't be enough. This isn't about trying to clean house at Colorado Springs because of Evangelical excesses. A national stage is involved. Given the permeability of military culture with the civilian social networks, service chiefs can't assume their cultural signals are axiomatically ascendant.
These three events occur amidst the long-standing civilian-military divide. We've devoted decades to following that matter and tried to focus attention in the 1990s. We spoke about it with the old Office of Force Transformation, NDU and elsewhere. Lots of smart people work the problem; solutions still elusive.
We'd be the first to argue that civilian inattention and indifference to obligations, commitments and cultures remains a large contributor to the gap. We see little sign of civilian leadership and culture changing focus soon. Work must be incremental in both directions. Yet the military is subordinate to our civilian society and must remain so.
All the more reason for the military to do its utmost to assure the public it remains apolitical. To be be perceived as such. Above all, we urge that when in doubt, err on the side of communicating where its control over personnel and their actions begins and ends.

Transfer latest: Pep Guardiola key to Thiago Alcantara's Bayern Munich move
Thiago Alcantara says the chance to link up again with coach Pep Guardiola was a vital reason he joined Bayern Munich.
Last Updated: 15/07/13 11:07pm
The European champions have completed the signing of the highly-rated versatile midfielder from Barcelona on a four-year contract for an initial fee of 20million euros (£17.3m), with add-ons taking the total amount to 25m euros (£21.6m).
After arriving in Munich on Monday afternoon, the 22-year-old was quick to hail the significance of Guardiola at Munich, having worked under his fellow Spaniard when they were both at the Nou Camp.
When asked why he chose Bayern, Thiago told the club's official website: "On the one hand, there's the history of the club, which has been one of the best in the world for many years. On top of that, this team plays very attractive football. And I believe the arrival of Pep Guardiola will provide an additional boost.
"We've known each other for a long time and he's a coach who has placed great faith in me. I'm a huge fan of the way he likes football to be played.
"There aren't many coaches in the world with his ability. He was definitely one of the important reasons for me making the move to Munich."
Guardiola last week pinpointed Thiago as his number one transfer target in his first summer with Bayern and club chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge was delighted to appease his new coach.
"We're delighted we've successfully negotiated this major transfer," said Rummenigge.
"Only recently, Thiago was named best player at the Under-21 European Championship. He's a fantastic player with huge potential, and he will make FC Bayern stronger."
Thiago came to the fore in Spain's triumphant Under-21s European Championship campaign in Israel with a string of impressive performances, most notably when he scored a hat-trick in the final against Italy.
He becomes the fourth member of that victorious squad to make a big-money move this summer, following Real Madrid's signings of Isco, Asier Illarramendi and Dani Carvajal.
"I'm really looking forward to it and I'm extremely happy. If there's a day in your life when you can be completely happy, today is one of those days. I'm thrilled to be at a massive club like Bayern Munich," he said.
Thiago was heavily linked with a move to Manchester United, who have quickly switched focus to his now former Barcelona team-mate Cesc Fabregas, but the Italian-born star is relishing the chance to settle down in Bavaria.
"Munich is a spectacular city with fantastic flair and a tremendous passion for football. I'm really enthusiastic about this adventure. I hope I play plenty of games, and that we can retain the trophies from last season," he added.

- (Kill Rock Stars)
Sleater-Kinney's lead vocalist has been focusing on raising her kids since the band went on hiatus a few years ago. She's now back making music, debuting under her own name with an album that's mostly quieter and more intimate than the music of Sleater-Kinney, but in some ways, it's also just as powerful. Tucker & co. bring a more varied sound to 1000 years, particularly a greater emphasis on acoustic instrumentation like piano, cello and violin to flesh out the basic rock band lineup. She also hasn't lost her touch as a songwriter, exploring the everyday trials of love and being a mother with her typically unblinking honesty, while also laying bare the economic devastation to working families caused by the new Depression. 9/23/2010 - Don Yates

While it's a very short hike, it was peaceful and we had the little mountain all to ourselves.

Rumor: Next-gen iPhone to feature quad-core processor
Date: Friday, July 6th, 2012, 07:14
Category: Hardware, iPhone, Rumor
You have to admit: a quad-core ARM processor in your new iPhone would qualify as nifty.
Per a Thursday report from DigiTimes, Apple's next-gen could feature a quad-core processor according to industry sources. Other details on the rumored processor, including clock speed or graphics processing capabilities, were not presented.
Last year's iPhone 4S features a custom dual-core processor clocked at 800 megahertz, dubbed by Apple the "A5." That chip was first introduced months earlier in the iPad 2, where it ran slightly faster at 1 gigahertz thanks to a larger form factor with a bigger battery.
With the third-generation iPad launched this year, Apple didn't unveil a true next-generation chip, choosing instead to name the processor the "A5X," suggesting an evolutionary upgrade over its predecessor. That CPU is based around Samsung's 45-nanometer low-power architecture, also found in the A5 CPU in the iPhone 4S and iPad 2.
The main change with the A5X was an updated integrated graphics processor. While the CPU remained dual core, the GPU was upgraded to quad core in order to push the 3.1 million pixels found on the tablet's high-resolution Retina display.
If Apple does build a quad-core ARM CPU for its next iPhone, the upgrade could presumably be significant enough to earn the chip the "A6" distinction. DigiTimes said Apple's expected introduction of a quad-core iPhone will help "heat up" competition with other quad-core smartphones.
Samsung, HTC, LG and Meizu all launched quad-core smartphones in the second quarter of 2012, most notably Samsung's Galaxy S III, the latest flagship handset for Google's Android mobile operating system. However, the quad-core Galaxy S III has thus far only been available in international markets, while the 4G LTE-capable model released in the U.S. features a dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor. Next week, Samsung will launch a quad-core LTE Galaxy S III, but only in Korea.
More quad-core smartphones are expected to be introduced in the second half of 2012, thanks to volume production of chips from Qualcomm.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.


text: Recently, I've been re-watching Deep Space Nine and I just love the format of episodes in which they are telling one big long story. Things that happened in one episode is often relevant in continuing episodes and I really like that. It's funny, when DS9 was in production, I hated it, but at the same time, I never really gave it a chance. I watched maybe 2 episodes total. I was so loyal to TNG that everything else was just fluff. It wasn't until years later that I watched it, gave it a chance, and grew to love it. My question is this...what happened? Why were the ratings or popularity, according to many comments that I've seen here and there, so...lame? I mean I always understood why they brought the Worf character to the show, but it just seems to me that this is one of the most well written and thought out shows in the Rick Berman/TNG era. Was the show not properly pushed or something??

Spin classes start as India looms
THE Australian batsman from the past I most wish I had seen is Neil Harvey, for his dancing feet. A spin bowler once said that Harvey came so far down the wicket 'I thought he must want to shake my hand'. Yet for all the risks he took, Harvey was never stumped in a Test match.
A few years of watching Michael Clarke has lightened the disappointment.
Surely nobody since Harvey (perhaps Allan Border?) has moved down the wicket to spin bowling with such speed, lightness and precision. At the SCG on Sunday, against some testing spin bowling and under no little pressure, Clarke was again playing a different type of cricket to his teammates. As was said of Harvey when he played spin, the further Clarke skips down the wicket, the safer he seems.
Sunday's chase, which was more tense than the scorecard indicates, provided a guide to how the Australian batsmen will fare in the Test series in India. Rangana Herath is not dissimilar to India's Pragyan Ojha, a left-armer who imparts not so much spin as suspicion onto the ball, which is hard to predict and impossible to trust.
Compared with Clarke, the other top-order batsmen play spin from the crease. Ed Cowan gets further down the track to the pacemen than to the spinners. His approach to spin is to stretch forward and smother. If the ball drops short, he adjusts his shot to deflect, mostly to the leg-side. If it floats, he might drop a knee and sweep. His extravagant step with his front pad means the ball hits it a lot, so Cowan can expect to find himself constantly embattled and appealed against in India. The manner of his dismissal, pressing so far forward that the pad became the first line of defence and the bat the second, was the type of thing he'll have to watch out for.
Being under siege may not be a bad thing for Cowan. His temperament so far shows a preference for struggle. On a plumb wicket against a third-rate attack, Cowan can be relied upon to lower himself to the prevailing standard. By contrast, his best innings this summer have come in desperate times: his century in Brisbane prevented a rout, he prospered in Perth when all others were falling, and his second innings in Sydney cannot be underestimated. In the strictly limited way that Cowan is a strictly limited batsman, it was a match-winning knock.
There are more reservations about Cowan's batting than there are at a new Matt Moran restaurant. In India, his lunges and his limitations will be questioned, but so far he has shown himself a good man in a crisis, and on Indian wickets crises can feel permanent.
Phillip Hughes' approach to spin has worked on the subcontinent before.
Like a butcher, he takes his position and waits for something to cut. He has brought lighter feet back into the team, and will try to force the bowlers off their length from time to time. He did not face Ravi Ashwin in the Test matches here last summer, and the tall off-spinner will challenge him. The English left-handers who liked to cut were sometimes caught out misjudging Ashwin's pace in the recent series. Hughes will do well to watch some video of Alastair Cook, learn what he can about patience, and then throw the video away and be his own man.
Those three nervous hours at the SCG were just a taste of Chennai and Hyderabad. It won't have gone unnoticed that the batsman who coped with the spin bowling and noisy close-in fields better than anyone except Clarke was the bloke who came in at No. 5. A cover-drive, a pull, a reverse-sweep. Farewell, Mr Cricket, we'll miss you. And for your team, 46 days from now in Delhi, they'll miss you.

An American writer who was held hostage by an al Qaeda affiliated group in Syria for 22 months and then freed over the weekend has been reunited with his mother in Boston, his family said.
Forty-five-year-old Peter Theo Curtis arrived at Newark Liberty International Airport late Tuesday afternoon, and then was reunited his with his mother Nancy Curtis at Boston Logan after a connecting flight that evening.
Curtis' family is asking the media for privacy as he readjusts to life back in the United States.
In a statement, Curtis said he's thankful for government officials in the U.S. and Qatar for working to get him back home.
"I have been so touched and moved, beyond all words, by the family who have come up to me today - strangers on the airplane, the flight attendants and, most of all, my family to say welcome home," the statement said.
His mother said while she's relieved by her son's release, she's also grieving with the family of Jim Foley, the American Journalist beheaded by ISIS in a gruesome video that surfaced last week.
"It was a great relief to know that he (Theo) was safe finally after such a long time, but the events of the past week have left me really numb, so it's hard to feel elation when you are also feeling terrible pain," Nancy Curtis said.

This week we compare the National Restaurant Association's 2014 Forecast to Technomic's updated numbers and explore the significance of a variety of foodservice-related economic indicators.
The National Restaurant Association forecasts foodservice industry sales will increase 3.6 percent in total dollars in 2014. Real growth, meaning the increase in sales after adjusting for menu price inflation, will be 1.2 percent, according to the NRA. With the exception of airline feeding, the NRA projects all segments will see dollar growth. This will be the fifth straight year of real growth for the foodservice industry, according to the NRA. The NRA projects sales for restaurants and bars, which account for roughly 70 percent of foodservice dollar volume, will rise similarly to the overall forecast rates of +3.6 percent and +1.2 percent.
And, Technomic, the Chicago-based market research firm, just revised its 2014 forecast to project a 3.6 percent increase in dollar growth and 1.1 percent in real growth. This represents an increase from Technomic's previous estimate, which called for 2.5 percent dollar growth and 0.5 percent real growth. So, in general, both major industry forecasts are pretty much in synch with one another, save for some variations that we can chalk up to methodology and some simple judgment calls.
The take away from all this? Assuming the prognostications are correct, the foodservice industry can expect a decent but far from fantastic year in 2014. While a $20 billion dollar sales increase is certainly not small change, it will not drive a huge increase in supplier sales. The rising tide may lift all boats but in the case of foodservice, this year it isn't going to lift them very far.
In other words, 2014 will bring more of the same. Suppliers will have to scratch and claw by introducing new products, targeting those operations experiencing better than average growth, and developing sales and marketing programs to take share from competitors.
