Subscribe To Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes Conquers Blu-Ray This December Updates
I've already subscribed
Did anybody expect Rise of the Planet of the Apes to be any good? I know I didn't. While the newest Apes flick featured a solid cast, including James Franco, Freida Pinto, John Lithgow, and Brian Cox. Even more exciting was the involvement of motion-capture wizard Andy Serkis in portraying Caesar, the ape whose artificially accelerated intelligence starts all the trouble in the first place. Still...it was Planet of the Apes, not a franchise with an auspicious record in recent years.
Imagine our surprise, then, when Apes reviews started coming in, and they were mostly positive. Against all odds, Rise of the Planet of the Apes seemed to be not just a good summer popcorn flick, but a good movie, period. For those of us who weren't convinced early enough to check out the movie in theaters, Rise of the Planet of the Apes will be coming to Blu-ray, DVD, and digital download this December 13th from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Fans of the flick should be excited, because the Blu-ray looks to be fairly packed with content.
In the new Apes flick, James Franco plays Will Rodman, a neuroscientist working on a cure for Alzheimer's disease by attempting to increase the intelligence of chimpanzees (no, I'm not sure how this would help cure Alzheimer's). He bonds especially with an ape named Caesar, who is unfortunately ripped away from Will and taken to a primate facility. Inside the lock-up, Caesar's intelligence continues to spike and he begins plotting...wait for it...the Rise of the Planet of the Apes!
Here's the breakdown of what you'll get on the disc.

60in. x 48in. x 120in.
1. Given to me by Eli after he had to vacate his studio.
2. Found in a warehouse on the south side, which I was particularly excited about because I had just read that about how graphite is actually the most compressed version of coal short of diamonds, which I hadn't realized.
3. Salvaged from Mia's first attempt at her massive failed onion mold but which she eventually succeeded at to everyone's relief
4. Which was being used as a makeshift dry erase board I salvaged while demolishing the labyrinthine and ramshackle "office" left in Michael's new studio by the alcoholic contractor Frank who's name Michael liked to invoke as "The Frank Special" when something looked shoddily made.
5. With the eighth-inch stuff being cannibalized from an older piece that I reluctantly threw away but saved parts of in an effort to salvage some value from its expense, and the half inch stuff coming from a particularly good dumpster bonanza from Trident.
6. Bought from Plaza after I gold-leafed Michael's throne sculpture and decided I wanted to use it but that copper was better than gold because of its relationship to Arizona and the potential for it to oxidize turquoise, which it didn't.
7. From the perfectly usable scrap that the VCU AFO students left behind, for which I feel both resentful of and responsible for, as I'd like to think I taught them better than that.
8. Initially forced on me by the very talkative Alton who ran a boutique carpentry shop next door and who would come over when he was bored to chat for nearly a hour but which was then very much appreciated after I found a use for it and all the other things he brought me.
9. From 1940's-60's National Geographics bought at a discount from the Richmond Antiquarian and collected from various thrift stores after a conversation with Michael about how amazing the color prints were in the early issues when they still used lead-based inks and how you had to be careful not to lick your fingers because of that and afterwards felt a little worried that I may be ripping off one of Michael's materials but did it anyways because we had always had so many of the magazines lying around as a kid and felt a deeper personal connection to them.
10. From a house next door that was the site of a murder/arson in the 90's that was graciously loaded into my truck in the middle of the night by the renovators who would suspiciously only work from midnight to 5am.
11. Salvaged from joists in the dumpster outside the storefront site of the massive Broad Street fire that almost claimed Dan's apartment which was apparently started by a squatter who left a lit blunt on a pile of blankets.
12. Pulled from the burned floorboards of the arson house, hammered straight, oiled, and saved in a rinsed sour cream container.
13. Initially from the lumber salvage place on Hull Street that mills down old 19th century house timbers and then given to me by my studio landlord's because it was left over from his kitchen cabinet refinishing that he had been saving because he owns a massive warehouse and he's an inveterate packrat.
14. Salvaged from the VDOT warehouse liquidation.
15. Bought from Lowe's after seeing how amazing it was when painting one of Michael's sculptures.
16. Ordered from Ohio on eBay in a vain effort to start a collection of old USGS surveyors equipment after reading about John Wesley Powell and then abandoned after realizing the ultimate cost and impractical nature of the endeavor.
17. With a particularly nice sunset graphic on it I noticed long after forgetting the eatery of origin and then had to find a replacement cup because the first was soiled and I got it for free from the organic coffee roasters at the Oregon Hill farmer's market after I noticed they carried the same line and told them about the first one
18. Gathered from where it spilled out the open hoppers cars at the train tracks down by the James after I got the idea from Matt and his coal castle.
19. Scraps saved from too many previous projects to list.
20. Successfully traded as part of a package deal with James in exchange for a violin obtained from a craiglist trade with a sweet music student for drum hardware I had saved from high school.
21. Scraps from James' guitar-making days, unsuccessfully traded in part of another larger package deal with him for an as yet undelivered wooden Buddha, tuxedo, or tuba, none of which I seem to be able to find.
22. Bought from Pleasants years ago and initially intended for use in an ultimately misguided and failed video piece, but the current use of which in this later piece brought me a good degree of pleasure and provided the relished opportunity to seek out the colorful old chroming guys way on the south side in order to polish it up but was ultimately left sort of depressed by their squalid and hazardous working conditions.
23. Left in the studio from the previous tenant, a furniture designer who's name I think was Jesse and who's extensive use of walnut ended up covering every single square foot of that place with at least a quarter inch of toxic dust.
24. Retrieved after hours from the Trident Plastics dumpster after the good old boy owner told me I could hit it up because he "thought I was alright" but not to tell anyone else.
25. Left over material from building stretchers for Alexis
26. Given to me as a gift for helping a stressed and departing Arthur quickly move his studio and house into a cramped POD after he realized he was being optimistic with how many of his belongings he could actually keep.
27. Ordered on eBay after seeing the disturbing dinosaur logo from ads in old National Geographics and remembering them in Steve's garage from childhood.
28. Given to me by Matt from his salad days as a straightedge vegan punk and all he would wear was labor clothing from the San Quentin thrift store in Orange County.

NIH establishes cancer nanotechnology training center at Illinois
ECE News
Rick Kubetz, College of Engineering
Story Highlights
- A grant from NIH will establish a new Midwest Cancer Nanotechnology Training Center at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
- ECE Professor Rashid Bashir is one of the co-principal investigators for the project.
- The center will train students to use nanotechnology for early detection, therapeutic intervention, and imaging of cancer.
A recently announced grant from the National Institutes of Health will establish a new M-CNTC: Midwest Cancer Nanotechnology Training Center at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Funded by the NIH/NCI Alliance for Nanotechnology in Cancer, the M-CNTC will serve as a regional hub, partnering with the Mayo Clinic, University of Illinois at Chicago, Washington University at Saint Louis, and the Indiana University School of Medicine.
"This grant is a significant recognition of Illinois' leadership in nanotechnology and bioengineering," explained Ilesanmi Adesida, dean of the College of Engineering. "The ultimate goals of the educational component of this program are to train the next generation of researchers and educators in the interdisciplinary area of cancer nanotechnology and to aid the NCI Alliance in building a community of faculty, PhD students, post-docs, and colleagues from clinical institutions to collaborate on education and research."
ECE and Bioengineering Professor Rashid Bashir and Ann Nardulli, professor of molecular and integrative physiology, are co-principal investigators for the project.
"Imaging and characterization of normal mammary and breast cancer tissue, and identification of novel tumor markers are among some of the key challenges facing cancer researchers and nanotechnology can play a critical role," Nardulli said.
"Effective application of nanotechnology to cancer treatment needs formal training of both nanoscience and cancer biology," said Bashir, who is also the director of the Micro and Nanotechnology Laboratory. "In this training center, the graduate students and the post docs will be trained to employ nanotechnology to develop novel sensors for early detection of cancer from body fluids, new therapeutic interventions using nanoscale drug payloads, state-of-the-art in-vivo imaging nanotechnology, and interface of nanotechnology with mechanobiology."
According to the grant proposal, this new generation of educators and researchers will be knowledgeable in cancer biology, nanotechnology, and nanoengineering, and will have developed a network of resources (people, facilities, international connections) that will benefit them in their future careers. The project will develop innovative methods to integrate education and research in the area of cancer nanotechnology. The thematic basis of the proposed integrative efforts spans around the pathway of cancer, especially with a focus on early ex-vivo detection, in-vivo imaging and detection, therapeutic interventions, and understanding the physical basis of cancer metastasis using integration of nanotechnology and mechanobiology.
In addition to Bashir and Nardulli, Irfan Ahmad, associate director of the Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (CNST); Lizanne DeStefano, director of the I-STEM, Taher Saif, and K. J. Hsia, professors of mechanical science and engineering; Steve Sligar, professor of biochemistry; and one member from each clinical partner institutions (on a 1-year rotating term) will form the M-CNTC executive committee. An internal advisor committee at Illinois will include: Adesida; Ruth Watkins, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences; Herb Whiteley, Dean of College of Veterinary Medicine; and Deba Dutta, Dean of Graduate College.
"Once the program is fully institutionalized at Illinois, we also want to offer a certificate program in cancer nanotechnology at the University," added Bashir. As part of communicating science to the public, the members of the M-CNTC team will be working to build on existing partnership with the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry to help develop a nanotechnology exhibit for 2010 launch.
The M-CNTC proposal benefited from a recently completed NCI-funded UIUC node for the Siteman Center for Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence with Washington University in St. Louis, and the work undertaken under the aegis of the University of Illinois Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (CNST), and the recently introduced Bionanotechnology and Nanomedicine research thrusts at the Micro and Nanotechnology Laboratory.

A 33-year-old man who showed up at a Worcester hospital this morning with stab wounds is a known gang member, police said.
Officers were called to St. Vincent Hospital around 2:15 a.m. on a report that a stabbing victim had arrived at the hospital. The victim was uncooperative with police, authorities said.
Police said the man had been stabbed in the upper chest area. He had surgery and was listed in fair condition tonight with injuries that were not life-threatening, police said in a news release tonight.
Hospital security footage showed the man being dropped off at the emergency room, the news release said. A dark-colored SUV pulled up to the door and the driver helped the victim out of the passenger set and walked him to the door. The driver then walked back to the SUV and drove away.
Police located the vehicle later in the morning and took it to police headquarters. The news release said they had "minimal information" about a suspect or the motive for the stabbing.
Earlier, police were trying to determine whether reports of gunshots later this morning in the area of King, Bellevue and Elm streets were related to the stabbing.
Anyone with information may send an anonymous text to 274367 beginning with TIPWPD, or submit an anonymous message online via www.worcesterma.gov/police, or call detectives at (508) 799-8651.

Changing the default class template in Visual Studio 2012/2013
I moved to Visual Studio 2013 when it came out and have not had to go back to the 2012 version for some time now. That is a sign of how good the new version is. It does however mean this article now needs an update (again).
To recap:
How many times have you hit SHIFT+CTRL+A to get a new class in a Visual Studio 2012/2013 project? 100s? 1000s?
And after, that how many times do you have to modify the class file it creates because it is not exactly what you wanted… For me: Every single time!
For starters I want the class public by default. I also want standard regions installed to save me adding them afterwards.
Here's how to do it:
1. Find the files
The files have not moved around much so are currently in C:\<Program Files>\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\CSharp\Code\1033
(in VS2012 they are in C:\<Program Files>\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\CSharp\Code\1033)
The file you want is in an appropriately named folder (no more ZIP files!). If you open the Class folder you will find the following 2 files:
- Class.cs
- Class.vstemplate
2. Backup the original files!
Very important step as things do go wrong. Backup the original files e.g. by copying it to Class.cs. Orig so that it is not recognised by Visual Studio.
3. Change the Class.cs template file
This is where you get to be creative. You will notice the original looks something like this:
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; $if$ ($targetframeworkversion$ >= 3.5)using System.Linq; $endif$using System.Text; namespace $rootnamespace$ { class $safeitemrootname$ { } }
You might want something more like this:
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; $if$ ($targetframeworkversion$ >= 3.5)using System.Linq; $endif$using System.Text; namespace $rootnamespace$ { public class $safeitemrootname$ { #region Constants #endregion Constants #region Fields #endregion Fields #region Properties #endregion Properties #region Constructors #endregion Constructors #region Public methods #endregion Public methods #region Class override methods #endregion Class override methods #region Class extensions - virtual methods #endregion Class extensions - virtual methods #region Private helper methods #endregion Private helper methods } }
You will notice a number of Macros $ commands in the template. The complete list is here.
4. Save your changes
Simply save your edited files (again, there is no longer a ZIP file to recompress with VS 2012).
5. Tell Visual Studio about the changes
Your new changes will not be loaded unless you explicitly tell Visual Studio to reload all templates.
- Close Visual Studio (or the change swill not show until next time you run it)
- Open a command prompt (you should run this as Administrator if you are not an admin of the machine).
- Change to the IDE folder a few levels above the template folder (e.g. to C:\<Program Files>\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE)
- Run the following command:
devenv.exe /installvstemplates
6. Automate repetitive/fiddly tasks
If you are going to do this a lot I would suggest creating a batch file, e.g. in your template folder, to run the update step for you. For example create a text file called UpdateTemplates.bat containing the following 3 lines:
cd "C:\Prograsm Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common\IDE\" devenv.exe /installvstemplates pause

As an old Marine, I learned many lasting life lessons proudly serving my country in Vietnam. I've had more than 45 years to consider and apply those lessons and there are three leadership principles that I have come to value above all others:
1. You must always lead from the front; 2. You must always lead by example; and, 3. You must never ask your troops to do anything that you will not do yourself. These are principles I have tried to always draw on to guide my own conduct, and they are qualities I always look for in others.
These principles instantly came to my mind as details were made public regarding the recent failed attempt by the Orange County Board of Supervisors to select and hire a new county executive officer.
For many months, the board has doggedly preached austerity. Supervisors have particularly focused on austerity for their lowest-paid employees, championing the need to rein in benefits and to require all employees to pay their share of pension costs (something rank-and-file employees have done since 2004).
It was in this context that two supervisors, acting as the board's ad hoc negotiating committee, apparently, and disappointingly, cut a deal with the preferred CEO candidate. That deal would have included additional salary to offset the new CEO's employee contribution to the pension fund and other lavish benefits, including a car allowance that would have been enough to lease two Mercedes-Benzes, a $15,000 relocation allowance and 200 unearned hours of annual leave.
This proposal violated each of the most important life lessons about leadership I learned from my military service. The ad hoc committee "led" from behind closed doors, not from the front. They sought to have it appear the candidate would carry the burden of contributing the employee's share to her pension, rather than ensuring that she would lead by example. And the committee was prepared to allow the CEO to avoid the same kinds of economic sacrifices she would have been asked to demand from her troops, the rank-and-file employees.
When the deal (which, according to the candidate, had been worked out behind closed doors) became public, the majority of the supervisors rejected it. The candidate then declined the revised offer.
This style of governing, when unchecked, can lead to the kinds of corruption and abuses uncovered in Bell, Vernon, and other California cities. Many people in other cities have made it clear that they won't put up with it anymore in those cities, and I don't think the public in Orange County will put up with it.
A successful organization, public or private, requires outstanding leadership. And, above all, in my estimation, outstanding leadership requires leading from the front, leading by example and being willing to make any sacrifice you ask of those you lead.
I don't think it's unreasonable to expect the same quality of leadership from our elected officials that we expect from the brave men and women who we send to fight for the freedoms those officials are sworn to protect. In fact, I think that's an expectation we should demand and elected officials should feel obligated to meet.
Nick Berardino is general manager of the Orange County Employees Association.

Keeping online newsrooms sustainable in the developing world
"Independent news websites in the developing world tend to be on shaky ground, as they often oppose a corrupt regime or report in a censored environment. Their work attracts hacking attempts from the government and sends advertisers fleeing.
Offering a solution to this two-pronged problem of sustainability for these sites is Media Frontiers, a social-purpose enterprise of International Media Support, a nonprofit, Danish press freedom organization." READ MORE

Getting Into Customers' Heads via Surveys
You can conduct several different kinds of customer surveys, including demographic surveys, which help you determine which age groups, genders, races, and socioeconomic groups tend to use your business; and satisfaction and exit surveys, which help you refine and customize your business so that you can retain loyal customers and attract new ones.
Companies spend millions of dollars each year conducting surveys by using a variety of methods you're probably waaay too familiar with. Whether a company mails out questionnaires to randomly selected households, hires professional survey-takers to accost people at local shopping malls, or uses telemarketers to call customers during dinnertime, most people have a basic attitude about surveys:
- They hate them.
- They hate businesses that use them.
Internet shoppers are even touchier about surveys than the average Joe. After all, two of the big reasons they shop on the Internet are to save time and to remain somewhat anonymous. That's hard to do that when somebody keeps asking personal questions.
Nonetheless, customer surveys provide enough benefits — such as demographic information or feedback on a new site design — that businesses keep conducting them. Fortunately, the Web makes it possible to conduct surveys a bit less ruthlessly and much more efficiently. Here are some ideas:
- Don't hit your customers with more than a couple questions at a time. You may have 50 questions you want to ask — ranging from customers' annual household salaries to the number of dogs they have — but ask customers only two or three questions per visit to the site. Eventually, you'll have a full set of answers.
- Work with outside surveying companies. These companies offer customers incentives to complete online surveys (prizes, product coupons, and so forth) and can help you get more demographic information more quickly than you could on your own.
- Offer incentives for answering questions. Make sure that customers see the personal value of participating in a survey. Let them know you'll use the information to improve your product mix to cater to their interests, or that you'll be able to reduce the amount of advertising you send out by targeting it to their lifestyles.
Of course, money talks. You can take money off (discount) a purchase or drop shipping charges for anyone who answers your questions. Immediate aggrandizement offers are strong inducements.
Know thy customer: Demographic surveys
The customer base that you develop as a bricks-and-mortar organization is often quite different than your online customer base. To succeed at reaching new markets, you must determine who your Internet customers are and what attracts them to your business. Moreover, although you can open new markets through e-commerce, you may cannibalize your existing customer base. You need to understand who your customers are, what they want, and how your online business can meet their needs.
Demographic data also tells you whether you're dealing with individuals or businesses. You can also track the area of the country (or world) that customers live in, how much money they make, how many kids they have, and what kinds of hobbies they tend to have.
This information can be a gold mine to all aspects of business, online and offline. Of course, demographics are more important for the online end of the business because they enable you to understand who your customers are.
Don't assume that just because you have a good idea of your bricks-and-mortar demographics that you automatically know your online demographics. Some groups of people are more likely to shop online, for example, than others.
Know what attracts thy customers: Satisfaction surveys
A key to maintaining a successful business, of course, is understanding what attracts your customers. Is it that you simply have the best prices available? Or is it your superior customer service? What about the fantastic Web site design you created? Understanding what attracts customers to your online business enables you to keep the most popular items you sell in stock and thus retain loyal customers. You also can bring in new customers by understanding what's working on your site and expanding on those successes.
One way to find out what's working on your site is simply to ask your customers what they like about it! You can do this by conducting customer satisfaction surveys. You can conduct these surveys on your Web site immediately after a customer checks out, or conduct them via e-mail.
You should also consider hiring an outside firm to help you conduct satisfaction surveys. An outside firm helps ensure that your survey is conducted in the same, impartial way with each customer, and that the results are quickly compiled into useful information. These companies may conduct their surveys over the telephone, via e-mail, or on its own Web sites.
Determining why people don't buy: Exit surveys
What if you build it and nobody comes? Finding out why shoppers visit your site without purchasing anything can be tremendously difficult. You often have no contact information, so you can't reach those shoppers to do a follow-up survey, which is certainly the most obvious way to find out what the problem is. So what can you do?
One trick that's been gaining popularity is to program your Web pages to present an exit survey to shoppers who leave the Web site without completing a purchase, or even more importantly, shoppers who abandon a shopping cart full of items. The exit survey should:
- Appear on customers' computers as a small pop-up window with a couple of short questions asking the customer why he or she chose not to purchase anything and whether he or she plans to return.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Just as the previous two games between the softball teams of Tennessee Tech and Tennessee State went, hitting was at a premium. However, it was TSU that came out on top this time as the Tigers dealt the Golden Eagles a 4-1 loss.
The bulk of the games scoring came in the third inning as four of the game's five runs were scored.
The Tigers scored all three of their third-inning runs with two outs, using a solo home run off the bat of Tedra Alford to left center, and a two-run double from Jill Gardner, to put TSU in front 3-0.
Tech responded in the bottom of the inning as senior Lacie Coquerille drove in sophomore Melody Christian to cut into the Tiger lead at 3-1.
TSU's Caitlin Eaton circled the wagons as she allowed just three Tech base runners in the final four innings en route to the Tigers 4-1 win.
Eaton improved to 4-6 on the season, while junior Holly Thomas was saddled with the loss, falling to 6-3 on the season. Thomas gave up four runs, all of which were earned, while striking out six.
Tech (9-8, 2-1 OVC) hosts a doubleheader against Tennessee Wesleyan Tuesday, with the first game slated at 3 p.m.

Colorado women's golf coach Anne Kelly and assistant Brent Franklin looked to the Northwest and Canada to fill their class for the current recruiting cycle.
Signing with the Buffaloes during the early signing period are senior high school players Megan Haase of Spokane, Wash., Alexis Keating of Olympia, Wash., and Jamie Oleksiew of Vancouver, British Columbia.
Oleksiew is completing her high school education at the IMG Pendleton College Prep School in Bradenton, Fla., where she also receives top-flight golf instruction.
"The Northwest continues to be a good recruiting area for us," Kelly said in a CU release. "We've had success there in the past, and with our move to the Pac-12, that makes CU golf even more to top-notch players."
Haase: Playing for Lewis and Clark High School in Spokane, she has three individual top-10 finishes in the state championships. Placed 10th individually at the 2011 Girls Juniors America's Cup competition in Reno, Nev. Career best round in competition: 68.
Keating: Has been No. 1 player at Elma High School in Olympia since her freshman season and earned medalist honors in the state tournament as a sophomore. Placed 33rd at the 2010 Callaway Junior World Championships in Torrey Pines, Calif. Career best round in competition: 66.
Oleksiew: Has lowered her stroke average of 75.0 during her sophomore year at Southridge High School in Surrey, British Columbia, to 74.3 last year at IMG Pendleton College Prep in Florida. Finished seventh at the 2011 British Columbia Amateur Championship. Career best round in competition: 71.

NAGS HEAD N.C. (Reuters) - A weakened Hurricane Arthur was aimed at southern New England on Friday, wielding tropical storm-force winds, after an earlier landfall in North Carolina that caused only slight damage.
The summer resort areas of Nantucket and Cape Cod, popular destinations for visitors over the long Fourth of July weekend, were issued tropical storm warnings by the National Weather Service's National Hurricane Center, which predicted powerful winds and several inches of rain.
"It will certainly have some impact for southern New England," said John Cangialosi, an NHC meteorologist. "It's very tricky conditions there for the Fourth."
Arthur was expected to bring rain and winds of tropical storm strength, or 39 to 73 miles per hour (63 to 117 km per hour), to the Massachusetts coast, the center said.
Also set to be pelted with rain but slightly weaker winds was eastern Maine, the NHC said.
The storm was forecast to be near or over the Canadian province of Nova Scotia early on Saturday and expected to weaken to a post-tropical storm system.
The first hurricane of the Atlantic season, Arthur cut power to almost 20,000 homes and businesses, downed trees and cut off barrier islands from the mainland after making landfall on North Carolina's Outer Banks late on Thursday.
State officials said there was minimal damage from the storm, the earliest in the season to hit North Carolina since records began in 1851. A dozen counties were under states of emergency, and the tourist haven of Ocracoke Island was without power.
"This has been a very good day. There have been no casualties or serious injuries reported," North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory said at a news conference in Raleigh.
Arthur hit with top sustained winds of 100 mph (160 kph), earning a Category 2 status on the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale. It weakened to a Category 1 as it moved northeast into colder waters of the Atlantic Ocean with 90-mph (145-kph) top sustained winds.
McCrory said North Carolina's beaches were open. Thousands of Independence Day beachgoers had left the low-lying Outer Banks ahead of the storm as it disrupted July Fourth festivities and fireworks.
Kathleen O'Neal, owner of Island Artworks on Ocracoke Island, said she could feel her house lift up as the storm passed overhead.
"It was very bad here," she said, adding that many trees had been knocked down and part of a neighbor's roof had been pulled off.
Thousands of tourists were wandering around looking at damage, she said
Hyde County officials on Ocracoke said power could be restored by late Sunday. Meanwhile, a generator on the island was supplying power on a rotating basis.
State officials said ferry service to Ocracoke would resume, with residents and property owners to be let in on Saturday. Only emergency personnel were allowed on incoming ferries on Friday.
McCrory's office said Highway 12, the 50-mile (80-km) road connecting Hatteras Island to the mainland, had been blocked by flooding, downed power poles and sand.
The road was expected to reopen by late Sunday.
Arthur is the first hurricane to hit the United States since Superstorm Sandy devastated parts of New York and New Jersey in October 2012, causing an estimated $70 billion in damage.

How to Analyze Data Variances in Models with R
An analysis of variance (ANOVA) is a very common technique used with R to compare the means between different groups of data. To illustrate this, take a look at the dataset InsectSpray:
> str(InsectSprays) 'data.frame': 72 obs. of 2 variables: $ count: num 10 7 20 14 14 12 10 23 17 20 ... $ spray: Factor w/ 6 levels "A","B","C","D",..: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ...
This dataset contains the results of an agricultural experiment. Six insecticides were tested on 12 fields each, and the researchers counted the number of pesky bugs that remained on each field. Now the farmers need to know if the insecticides make any difference, and if so, which one they best use. You answer this question by using the aov() function to perform an ANOVA.
How to build the model
For this simple example, building the model is a piece of cake. You essentially want to model the means for the variable count as a function of the variable spray. You translate that to R like this:
> AOVModel <- aov(count ~ spray, data=InsectSprays)
You pass two arguments to the aov() function in this line of code:
The formula count ~ spray, which reads as "count as a function of spray"
The argument data, where you specify the data frame in which the variables in the formula can be found
Every modeling function returns a model object with a lot of information about the fitted model. Always put this model object in a variable. This way you don't have to refit the model when you need to perform extra calculations.
How to look at the model object
As with every object, you can look at a model object just by typing its name in the console. If you do that for the object Model that you created, you see the following output:
> AOVModel Call: aov(formula = count ~ spray, data=InsectSprays) Terms: spray Residuals Sum of Squares 2668.833 1015.167 Deg. of Freedom 5 66 Residual standard error: 3.921902 Estimated effects may be unbalanced
This doesn't tell you that much, apart from the command (or the call) you used to build the model and some basic information on the fitting result.
In the output, you also read that the estimated effects may be unbalanced. This isn't a warning — it's a message that's built in by the author of the aov() function. This one can pop up in two situations:
You don't have the same number of cases in every group.
You didn't set orthogonal contrasts.
In this case, it's the second reason.

World literature is the literature of many worlds[1], intersecting on one "endlessly rotating earth[2]" (Chen Li). This summer, come play Spin the globe![3] with the only magazine that could assemble never-before-published[4] writing from 27 countries and 21 languages[5] in one issue. Alongside an interview with Michael Hofmann, fiction by master story-teller Mercè Rodoreda, poetry by Ghassan Zaqtan and Marosa di Giorgio, essays on Bohumil Hrabal and Tove Jansson[6], and reviews of the latest titles, we celebrate the very best the canon has to offer via a showcase of contest winners[7] picked by judges David Bellos and Sawako Nakayasu. While new words pave the way for new worlds, every one of these gems, to quote repeat contributor Ko Un[8], also represents "[a] world…in want of the world.[9]"
Noemi Schneider's Life as Trauma[10] introduces us to Binjamin Wilkomirski, the author of a fabricated Holocaust memoir, and hence a man who has never existed. In Orshina, Hanit Guli's poignant drama, a promise to the family is revealed to be empty when, all packed up, the father remembers he has no address to provide the movers. And in Mercè Rodoreda's Aloma, remembrance of childhood loss punctuates a woman's mundane existence, just as Ah-reum Han's tribute to Kerascoët's "dazzling, ruthless worlds" is interwoven with the mourning for a deceased teacher. While Samudra Neelima's narrator plants "black seeds" in order to grow a "beloved black tree," Alejandro Albarrán desires to "write the amputation"—both poets sketch writing's failure, but, through performing failure, succeed.[11]

By Jim Stoppani, Ph.D. Flex
Defense Rows are great for building a wide, thick back. They hit all areas of the lats as well as most other back muscles, such as the middle traps, rhomboids and teres major.
Prosecution Wide grip pulldowns, as well as pullups, are one of the best exercises for building wide lats due to the great stretch they place on them and the downward motion of the arms.
EVIDENCE One study found that when trained lifters did wide-grip overhand pulldowns, they used more muscle fibers in the lats than when they used an underhand grip or a neutral grip on a V-bar.
A study from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (Toronto) directly compared lat muscle activity on wide-grip pulldowns to that on rows. When subjects did seated cable rows, muscle activity of the lats was more than 40% greater than when they did wide-grip pulldowns.
Rows appear to be a better exercise for stimulating more of the lat muscle fibers and, therefore, helping to build a bigger back.
SENTENCING Starting most of your back workouts with rows will help you place more overload on the lats (resulting in increased muscle size). Although the Canadian study used the seated cable row, we suggest that you use the barbell or dumbbell row at the beginning of your workouts when you are strongest and include other versions of rows later in the workout. You should also do a variety of pulldowns and/or pullups and, occasionally, start your back workouts with pulldowns or pullups. If you can't do more than 10 pullups, do them first in the workout (before you're fatigued), so that you'll be able to complete an adequate number of reps for stimulating muscle growth.

It's Fire Prevention Week. Each year, the Pella Fire Department makes the rounds to area schools to help educate first grade classes on fire safety tips like how to stop, drop and roll and when to call 9-1-1. Pella Fire Chief Doug Van Gorkom says they also introduce the students to one of the Firefighters dressed in full gear and breathing apparatus, so that in case of a fire, the children are familiar with what can be a scary sight. Van Gorkom reminds residents that a burn ban is currently in effect in Marion County.
The Knoxville Fire Department will be out and about all week to help promote National Fire Prevention Safety week as well. Knoxville Fire Chief Mike Roberts says that they will visit with local elementary and preschools to show them how firefighters put on their gear and help teach them fire prevention tips. Roberts says that most of the children already know important information, such as dialing 9-1-1 in an emergency and stop, drop, and roll. He adds that something all families should go over during this month is where their meeting place will be in case of a fire.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Laurienda from Beautiful porcelain mugs! I use these mugs daily for morning coffee. They've held up very well as I've been using them for a few years on a daily basis. No chips, cracks or other problems. Very pretty and a nice weight. My favorite mugs! I have other pieces from this basketweave design and they, too, are wonderful.Date published: 2016-06-15Rated 2 out of 5 by ambur007 from Chip Easily I have the entire dinner set of this basketweave pattern and it has help up wonderfully...except for the mugs. They chip easily whether you are using the dishwasher or hand washing. I wish they held up as well as the rest of the set.Date published: 2016-06-02Rated 5 out of 5 by McKenna from Coffee Lover's Favorite I am so pleased with the quality of these mugs - so lovely to handle first thing in the morning. They make the day start out better for just being there. The workmanship could not be better. I plan to add to my collection of Pillivuyt.Date published: 2015-06-30Rated 1 out of 5 by Beachgolfer from Pretty Look/Flawed Design The rim of this mug is wavy. Within hours of unpacking it and giving it an easy wash in the Dishwasher, 2 of my dozen mugs had chipped on the rim. I had placed them in the DW carefully, with room around each mug. Despite my precautions, 2 chipped, so the wave on the edge renders the mug too fragile for practical use. Obviously, the mugs can't be stacked.Date published: 2014-11-18Rated 5 out of 5 by anninsouthworth from Sturdy and attractive After more than 40 years of marriage, my husband and I finally decided to invest in matching dinner plates, salad plates, bowls and mugs. After researching many different patterns and prices, we settled on this basketweave style. They are suitable for everyday use -- you can put them in the microwave and the dishwasher without fear -- but fine for company as well. We ordered them online, and they came in separate boxes, well wrapped for travel.Date published: 2013-03-21Rated 5 out of 5 by DianafromFrance from Perfect coffee cups! These cups are the perfect size and weight for a good cup of coffee. More importantly, Pillivuyt basket weave line of dinnerware is the best everyday porcelain I have seen in years. I have purchased the entire line, but wish Wm. Sonoma carried more pieces, i.e., bread plates, serving bowls and platters.Date published: 2012-01-17

"When are you going to start saving? Don't forget there's a girl growing up in the house..", countless wives have been reminding their husbands in Indian households and sometimes on TV screens. Parents in the country place too much emphasis on marriage. And if you're a girl, this gets doubled. The moment the doctor announces the gender, the planning starts, the saving starts. And more importantly, the worrying.
Because of the pervasive dowry system that devours most families by attaching itself to destructive notions of what constitute status, honor and respect, this directly affects the family's management of financial resources and how girls are brought up. An unmarried daughter becomes a burden to be removed which in turn subjects her to differential treatment. Giving your daughter's marriage utmost importance means everything you do for her is ultimately influenced by this concern. You either don't educate her beyond a basic level because you don't have enough money to spend on both (and clearly you've decided marriage is to be given the bigger priority), or you educate her (often according to your own wishes rather than hers) with the prospect of fetching a well qualified groom so that she can be 'sent off' to a 'respectable' home.

I was checking out the latest offering from UK based Last Exit To Nowhere and stumbled upon an excellent Ghostbusters themed T-Shirt. Last Exit To Nowhere did not go the traditional "cartoony" route, like this Threadless T-Shirt, instead, they went sophisticated. Venkman Stantz Spengler Paranormal Studies features not only great typography but also has green glow in the dark ink, something that the die hard fans of Ghostbusters can appreciate.
Inspired by the Columbia University Paranormal Studies team in the first part of the film Ghost Busters. (The reason Ernie Hudson's character Winston Zeddemore isn't featured in this particular design is because he joined the team after they had left University when Ghost Busters was already established).
Venkman Stantz Spengler Paranormal Studies is available now from Last Exit To Nowhere for £18 ($28).

The design for the Guggenheim Helsinki seeks to transform a barren industrial site between the city and sea into a dynamic urban place of culture and ideas. Global in its reach but specific to its local climate and building culture, the museum design draws inspiration from nature and traditional Finnish building materials to create an art experience which is engaging and accessible, and expressive of Nordic ideals.
Inspired by the cellular structure of indigenous wood, the design proposes a spatial organization of flexibly adaptive art gallery spaces and integrated outdoor exhibition areas. Informed by Finnish building traditions and leveraging the capabilities of the Finnish lumber industry, the design seeks to create a monument integrated with its urban maritime context, a place of ideas which brings together nature and building, people and culture.

Mini Fried Vegetarian Eggrolls (Cha Gio Chay in Vietnamese)
Eggrolls (Chả giò in Vietnamese) are a staple in Vietnamese cuisine. Despite its name, eggrolls contains no egg. They're filled with taro root, carrot, dried mushroom and rice vermicelli noodles. They also usually contain tofu or a meat product. This version is fried but there's also spring rolls that are not fried, I'll make those and post them some time soon.
This recipe is for my version of vegetarian eggrolls. They are very convenient when you're serving a large crowd. Eggrolls are the perfect party food. You can make them large and serve them with the main course, or make them smaller and serve them as appetizers. All you need is a good fillling and a ton of little helpers to wrap the crispy delicious cigar shaped snacks. Some of my earliest culinary memories are of my mom making me wrap a bunch of eggrolls before a party.
It took all of us about half an hour to wrap everything whereas if you're alone it'll take about 2 hours. It won't take that long for your guests to devour them though!
Yields: 81 lb taro roots (or red potatoes), shredded
1 carrot
2 shallots, finely diced
1 yellow onion, finely diced
1 Tbs fresh cilantro, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 block fresh tofu, firm
1/4 cup mung bean
1 oz black fungus mushrooms, dried
1 tsp mushroom powder
1 pack rice vermicelli noodle, dried (2 oz)
2 packs eggroll wrappers, frozen
1 tsp black peppercorns, freshly ground
2 tsp salt
3 cups canola oil (or any neutral oil), as needed
Slice about 1 inch thick the block of tofu. Bring a big saucepan full of water to a boil. Boil the tofu for about 30 seconds. Drain, cool down, then hand mash it. Set aside.
Cut the root end off of the carrot. Peel it. Wash it. Then julienne the carrot into thin strips. Finely Chop. Set aside
Place the whole package of dried rice vermicelli noodles in a bowl. Don't forget to cut the little thread and discard them! Soak them in cold water for 20 minutes, then drain. Chop into 1 inch threads. Set aside.
Place the mung beans in a small saucepan, barely cover with water, then slowly cook for about 30 minutes. It will form a dry paste. Set aside.
Place the black fungus mushrooms in a large bowl, soak in boiling water for 2-3 minutes then drain. Chop finely. Set aside.
Peel, wash and shred the taro roots (or potatoes if using). Place in a big bucket. Add all the rest of the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper.
In the same large pan, add about 2 more tablespoons of oil. Sprinkle about 4-5 tablespoons of shredded taro evenly into the pan. Do not stir. Wait for at least 2 minutes until one side is nicely fried, crisp and golden. Flip the taro using chopsticks. Continue until all the taro is fried. Add more oil if necessary.
When the taro are nicely fried and golden, transfer to a platter lined with paper towels. As soon as all the oil is drained, transfer to a large bowl.
And now it's time to call in your eggroll wrapping reinforcement. Basically call your family in. This is a perfect way to give the little ones a taste of cooking.
Get a bowl filled with cold water ready.
Assign one person to cut in 2 the eggroll wrappers into triangles and separate them. It's sold by 30 squares and they are stuck to each other.
Assign another person to place 2 tsp of the mixture at the base of the triangle.
And assign the rest of the crowd to wrap them. You fold one of the corners along the base towards the other corner along the base so that it just covers the filling. Then roll the wrapper once towards the top corner. Repeat with the other corner that it along the base. Moisten the expose top corner with water using your finger. Then finish rolling.
Once a plate is full with uncooked eggrolls, you can either store them with plastic wrap, then place in the refrigerator overnight or in the freezer up to a month. Once you're ready to cook them, fill a large frying pan with peanut oil or another neutral oil about 2 inches high. Make sure your pan is tall enough so that there is enough room to add the eggrolls without the oil overflowing. If you have a deep fat fryer, by all means, use it. Place the eggrolls in the hot oil one at a time, seam side down. You will see bubbles. As soon as each eggroll turns slightly golden, rotate it. When the eggrolls are even and golden all the way around, remove from the pan and place on a paper towel to drain the oil. They should be golden, crispy and delicious.
Taro root is a firm, hairy vegetable as starchy as a potato and is used very often in Asian cuisine.
Taro root is toxic when it's raw. And it will turn sour when it's mixed and stored in the freezer. So if you plan to make eggrolls in advance, substitute the taro root with potatoes, then it can be kept in the freezer.
Store the taro root no more than a week in your refrigerator.
If you can't find the frozen eggroll wrappers, you can substitute with bánh tráng (dried rice paper sheets). It's as good, but maybe a little greasier. That was how my mom used to make eggrolls. Fill a bowl with beer and add a teaspoon of baking powder. Brush each bánh tráng with the beer mixture then let it dry for about 2 minutes on a paper towel. Then continue as you would with the frozen eggroll wrappers. Personally I prefer the frozen ones, it's a big time saver which is important considering that making eggrolls is time-consuming to begin with.
I'm not a big fan of the cabbage and bean sprout filling. You want a crispy result so you should avoid any vegetable that will release moisture.
I found this wonderful gadget from Messermeister. It's THE best utensil for julienning vegetables. Is that a verb?
A good way to check if your filling is properly seasoned is to saute some in a frying pan with a little oil. If it's not quite seasoned, add more salt and pepper as needed to the mix. Once the eggrolls are wrapped up, it's too late!
One of the most common condiment to serve with Vietnamese eggroll is Sriracha sauce. It's the red chili sauce with the green cap. For those who are not into spicy food like me, you can serve it with a soy sauce condiment. I'll post the recipe later.
I prefer to serve mini eggrolls. First because it's crispier and second because it makes you feel less guilty when you polish off half a dozen of themPublished By: on February 7, 2009.

Hi ladies!
I was just wondering how many of you used donor eggs and got pregnant? At what point did you decide to use donor eggs? How did the process work? Was it hard to find a donor? I have so many questions. I am now in an IVF cycle now and hopefully will make it to ER and ET. I am a poor responder to meds and it seems like every cycle my RE brings up donor eggs. I'm not ready to go there yet, but have to start considering it if this cycle isn't a positive one. I am trying to prepare myself if I have to.
I appreciate all who is willing to reply.
Congrats on all of your pregnancies! I am so happy for you! It gives all of us hope that it can happen!
Take care and God bless.

Howdy all-- I am at wits end with my problem. I sent the following to ATT Closed Captioning e-mail and got an autobot reply to use the online tech service. I did so, and they walked me through a "disaster recovery" reset (not using the reset button, but dowloading and flashing the operating system software for the box) with them finally referring me to ATT ICU (what the heck is ICU, Intensive Care Unit?) Any Ideas from forum people appreciated greatly.
Hello: I am profoundly deaf and must use closed captioning on my televisions. I have had and currently have a serious and annoying problem with one of the set top boxes (Motorola HD DVR). The closed captioning begins and runs for any where from 1-10 minutes, then freezes (sometimes in mid-sentence) and does not pick up again. The Philips HD TV is connected to the set-top box by means of a HDMI cable. The only way to regain the closed captions are to either switch channels and then switch back to the channel I was watching; or do a quick (7-second) backspace of the program, then captions will be there for the part that was not captioned. It will then run captions for a while, then freeze again. I can record a few minutes of a program and then replay it. However, the recorded closed captions will eventually freeze and disappear even in recorded programs. As I said, I know the captions are being sent by the programmers and by the U-verse system because they are being recorded. I also checked some local channels using my antenna when the U-Verse captions disappear and they are being sent and read by the over-the-air television HDTV tuner.
The following have not solved the problem -- - turning on both digital (high definition) and analog (standard definition). - turning captioning to digital off and analog on and vice versa. - re-setting the set-top box. - restarting the set-top top box by disconnecting and reconnecting power. - resenting/restarting U-verse 3800HGV-8 modem. - calling ATT help line and re-performing the above steps several times. - having a service call by ATT U-verse technician, xxxxxx xxxx who again performed the above steps.
He then did the following -- - determined that there could be a low signal problem with the Time Warner Cable installation which was used when the system was installed over a year ago. - replaced the RG television cable connected the set top box that was having problems with a direct connection to the modem by means of an Ethernet CAT-5 cable ($55 service installation charge) and replaced the second set top box (Motorola) (which was not having problems) with a Cisco, wireless set top box (which works well) with the Cisco transmitter connected directly to the modem. - returned the next day, when notified that all his work on the system was for naught, and personally saw the problems for himself. He then obtained a new work order from his supervisor and replaced the Motorola HD DVR. We then watched and waited until the same freezing and drop out again. We check the over-the-air signal and found that the captions were being transmitted by the station and could be seen on the U-verse system if the program was re-wound 7-seconds. We both then agreed there was nothing more he could do to solve the problem and that he would report it to ATT. I said I would also report it, which I am doing in this e-mail.
I really know little about how the system works, but offer the follow information and suggestions -- - the problem appears to only occur on the one set top box (Motorola VIP1225/297; (Current Serial No. Mxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, bootstrap ROM 1.1027, TV2 Client Version 2.1.2295.10), not on the second SDTV installation using the Cisco box. - because the captioning signal is present on the U-Verse feed, the problem appears to be in the hardware software/firmware in the set top box that uses the signal and is probably present in all boxes of the same Motorola model available to ATT service in this area. With my very limited knowledge of digital electronics, hardware, software/firmware, programming, etc., I suggest it could be a glitch not allowing the used captioning to be dumped and thus loads up the buffer until it can store no more captioning data. I am very anxious to have this problem solved ASAP.
Please forward this e-mail to the appropriated department for resolution.
Thank you very much, in advance, for your prompt attention to this problem.

YW PHOnos and that's an easy slip to make, component vs composite, most of us have done before.
Just curious why you are watching the HD channels, where you're having CC problems, on a SD set and not the SD channels? Especially when using an analog video connection with a composite cable? Video connected by component cables is also analog but carries a HD signal where composite video won't.
I know all sets are different and I use a SD set in my basement. Seems like the picture quality of the SD channels is just as good as the HD channels. Maybe you're watching HD programming which is not available in SD?
I'm not trying to get around you're having problems with the CC's cutting out/freezing on the HD channels with your Philips HDTV. Are you still noticing this more on the local HD channels rather than all of them?
Hopefully you sent David an email on this problem as suggested. He, or a member of his team, will get back to you on this CC problem if you sent him an email.

It was just an experiment. Wanted to see what would happen when the CC failed on he receiver, because as some one said (maybe it was you) it could be a possible HDMI cable problem on the HDTV. Just think I proved something by feeding the signal to the CC on the SDTV and seeing the drop out, but I'm not sure what other than that. BTW the SD is a Toshiba with built in VHS recorder

I agree quality is just as good on SD, but yes, my wife likes to have both SD and HD channels available on both TV's because the programming, for example,The Food Channel, are not always the same programming at the same time SD and HD. Also, as you say, some HD channels, i.e.. HDnet is not available on SD.
I'm not trying to get around you're having problems with the CC's cutting out/freezing on the HD channels with your Philips HDTV. Are you still noticing this more on the local HD channels rather than all of them?
If it was just the locals, I could get around it by using my antenna. However, it occurs on all HD channels, i.e.. Food Network; HGTV, all the ESPN channels that broadcast in HD; Fox Sports West; Fox Sports Prime Ticket.
Hopefully you sent David an email on this problem as suggested. He, or a member of his team, will get back to you on this CC problem if you sent him an email.
No, I have not. Christmas preps, baby sitting the grandkids and their birthdays, going to the doctor(s) and dentist has kept me pretty busy (I don't know how I ever had time to work before I retired). Going to Las Vegas tomorrow with the neighbors for a couple of days (I don't know why my wife sets these things up this time of the year). Maybe get around to it this weekend,
So, I take it you have not be able to recreate my CC drop-out problem on HD channels?
I've been forcing myself to go non-Premium for a few days and have to report this issue is rampant. I watched a lot of DYI channel, and it acted just like the major networks.
If I change the channel, or go to LAST and then back, CC comes up again.
I'm stumped and no idea why or how this is happening, and haven't noticed it on the Premiums I watch.
Also, some channels use all caps, then a mix, or just a mix; no consistent formula--if that even makes a difference. Don't even get me started on the errors and misspellings.
FYI, all HDMI here.
Yep, I too have seen the closed captions freezing/shutting down on many channels. Without a doubt the local ABC channel (WSYX ABC6) in the Columbus, OH, market is the worst in my area. After shutting down, you can go to another channel, right back again, and the CC's start back up again but not for very long. The one exception to this on channel 6 are reruns of "30 Rock" where the CC's have no problem at all. I did some searching and I'm not sure why the closed captioning through "CaptionMax" work so well but it does.
I have an email drafted to "6 On Your Side" pointing out the cumbersome method in accessing CC's through U-verse TV service. I said not only has AT&T/U-verse not resolved this issue but they made the closed captioning even worse through their latest upgrade. This thread and the specific problem on their network is mentioned. Hopefully they will take note of the email/CC problems since they are good about bringing this type of issue to the publics attention. I'll finish and send the email this weekend.
It's obvious this is a nationwide problem since U-verse users in Irving, CA, Houston, TX and Columbus, OH, are seeing the same CC freezing/shut-down problems.
PHOnos, thanks for answering the questions I asked. I kind of figured there was HD programming not available on the SD channels you are watching. You may want to try and send an email to David since his team would be aware if this is a known closed caption issue and if they are working on a fix. If they don't know at least you would be making them aware of it and point them towards this thread.
I'm guessing this isn't considered a problem since the majority of viewers don't use CC. I keep it on all the time here.
Another thought, maybe it has something to do with channels who run commercials? Different feed for local vs. national markets? MOST commercials don't seem to do CC. But when a commercial is coming, the CC does NOT complete for the program, it cuts off the last few sentences of dialog. Is it a computer problem?
The Premiums don't have CC on their breaks during programming (pseudo-commercials for their own programs), but maybe all of their feeds are coming from the same place?
All I know is this is VERY annoying, and I feel for anyone who is hard-of-hearing.
I thought I read somewhere that an update or something was rolled out to resolve the CC issue. I read something last week, I think thats when it was.

Now that's something I'd like to read/see. Can you see if you can find it RC since you've gotten our hopes up?
I do searches all the time for "closed caption" posts/threads and haven't seen one which said a fix was already rolled out. Besides my remote works exactly like it did before in the long drawn out process in accessing closed captions.
The latest thread, other than this one, is the below thread which was posted a month ago. I hope you aren't referring to my post which said they are supposed to send out an update in 2012 for easier CC access. It's anybody's guess if and when that will happen.

Made a new discovery -- If I turn off both HD and SD captioning on the DVR, the SD TV using the composite video input will continue to show the captioning on all channels (including HD channels) without disappearing. Turn on the SD or HD captioning on the DVR, and the HD channel captioning on both the DVR and the TV fails at the same time and does not start up.
So, it definitely is a problem in the DVR closed captioning reader not outputting the captions and blocking the captioning input to the TV on HD channels.
As long as I don't replace the SDTV I guess I'm A-OK.
This sucks . . . ! ! !
I keep them both turned on and use HDMI, but this was not a consistent problem in the past; so something happened, and I'm guessing it was after/during Phase 3.
Mostly watch HD, but not all SD channels have HD counterparts.
My father and I both experience the same problem with the CC dropping out. We're in the San Francisco Bay Area, have the Motorola DVRs/STBs, run an HDMI connector to the TV, and have CC on all the time. I've had U-Verse since 2009 and have never had this problem before - it just appeared recently. HD ABC (1007 in our area) is the worst offender, but we've seen it in on Fox (1002) and other channels as well.
Keep this thread alive and let's get AT&T to fix this!
It's really getting annoying! I'm still seeing it on the 4 big networks, and tired of going to another or last channel to get it back.
