Holy scam! Woman bilked out of $10,000
A scam comes in many forms, but this one was over the top.
When Mammoth resident Irene Molloy realized Monday that the man who coerced her to send him $10,000 had been calling her "Grandma" instead of "Nana," she realized she'd been had.
"I was sitting in a chair afterward, trying to regain my thinking, and I remembered," she said. "He was the only grandchild I had that called me 'Nana' not 'Grandma.'"
But it was too late. The money, wired to Lima, Peru, where a man claiming to be John Molloy had told her he would go to jail if she didn't send the money, was gone.
"I kissed that money goodbye right then," she said ruefully.
"I feel like such an idiot," she said, "but he sounded exactly like John. He knew John's friends, he knew the names of our family … he knew a lot."
Even after the man called a third time early Tuesday morning to ask her for yet more money – by then she had uncovered the scam and reported it to Mammoth police – she said she could have sworn from just the man's voice that it was her grandson.
"It still sounded just like him," Molloy said. "He said, 'Grandma, I'm OK but I've missed the plane home.' Then he said he needed more money. But when I asked him for his phone number, he hung up on me and he hasn't called me back since then."
Molloy has a landline phone with no caller ID. There was no way for her to identify where the caller was calling from or she would have given the police that information, she said.
"I think they target older people who live alone," she said. "If I had been living with someone, I think I would have talked it out, and figured it out sooner."
The man's story was compelling and believable, she said. He asked her first for money to cover a car insurance check that he had sent to Peru but that was not there yet. He told her then he was in Lima for a wedding of a fraternity brother, and he named friends that she recognized.
The caller also told her not to tell his parents he was in Peru because he didn't want them to worry about him. Then, when she bit that one, he called again several hours later and said he'd been in a car accident and destroyed a city street light pole. If he didn't pay for the street pole, he was going to jail, he told Molloy.
"And I'd had friends in foreign countries ending up in jail for reasons like he gave me, so I knew it was possible," she said.
She said she's been targeted by other people trying to get money from her, but never by someone who sounds just like someone she knew, or, someone who knew as much about her and her family as this caller did.
"I think they must have gotten the information from all those social networking sites," she said. "People put everything about themselves up on those sites. And I know now that you can alter people's voices electronically to make them sound different. He could have gotten all of the information about John's friends that way. I even asked him Monday who he was there with, and he told me a name I recognized. In retrospect, I can see what happened. But when you get a call like that, when you think your grandson is in trouble and could go to jail in a foreign country, you aren't emotionally stable.
"Even the way they handled it, putting me on the line for the wire transfer with someone with no accent, seemed plausible," she said. "I think it's being done by Americans.
"I thought about not telling anyone about this because I am embarrassed, but then I decided I want other people to know about this," Molloy said. "I've always prided myself on being aware and intelligent, but I wasn't expecting something like this."
Mammoth Lake Police Chief Dan Watson has seen it all, after decades in law enforcement. But this type of scam was something new, even to him.
"The elderly (in particular) are sometimes victims of embezzlement scams," Watson said. "But I've never heard of one like this, where the suspect had knowledge about the victim's grandson. This case was different because it involved two phone calls. The victim asked a series of questions and got responses that caused her to believe it was her grandson.
"That indicates this was a more sophisticated scam than the emails people get from someone in an African nation asking for your assistance in disbursing funds, or an Instant Message from a friend who claims their wallet was stolen while on vacation.
"Taking advantage of someone like this grandmother is despicable," he said. "If someone gets a request that doesn't seem right, as was the case here, they should go with their instincts and try to verify the information being provided. The Internet has now become a common way of approaching potential victims."
As for Molloy, now out some $10,000 that she could ill afford to lose, she's counting her blessings. After talking about it to friends and family, she realized a similar scam is going around other areas, which is why she decided to talk about it in public. Now, it's time to move on.
"It's a blow, but like my daughter and I were saying, it's still only money," she said. "Everyone in my family is alright, their health is good. That's more important than anything else."

FRANKLIN, Ind. (Sept. 24) – Franklin College put three touchdowns up on the scoreboard in the third quarter, pulling away from visiting Defiance to win 52-14 in a Heartland Conference football clash at Faught Stadium today.
The Grizzlies improved to 2-0 in the HCAC and 3-1 overall, winning their 12th straight league contest. The Yellow Jackets fell to 0-2 in the conference and 0-4 in all games.
FC senior running back Reece Craig rushed for 87 yards and two touchdowns, including a 55-yard scoring burst in the third period, on 13 carries and sophomore quarterback Jonny West threw for 318 yards and one score to help the Griz overpower Defiance.
Sophomore running back Ethan Cook also rushed for two touchdowns – a 1-yard run late in the opening quarter and a 9-yard run with four minutes left in the first half.
Franklin tallied five touchdowns on the ground in all.
The Grizzlies opened the scoring when Craig ran in from two yards out at the 10;22 mark of the first period. After Cook's first TD, Defiance cut FC's lead in half when quarterback Aaron Spencer rushed for a 2-yard score early in the second quarter.
Cook put Franklin up 21-7 with his second touchdown, but Spencer answered with a 9-yard rushing TD with just 47 seconds remaining in the opening half.
But Franklin drove downfield close enough in the waning seconds to set up a 30-yard field goal made by junior kicker Cole Richards.
Big plays highlighted the third period for the Griz.
After West rifled an eight-yard scoring toss to sophomore split end Kyle Linville, Craig broke loose to score on his 55-yard run and sophomore cornerback Zack Corpe smelled out the first pass tossed by Defiance subsitute quarterback Rick Powell, picked it off and scampered 69 yards into the end zone.
The game's final points were scored by Franklin sophomore running back Kyle Holzbog on a 6-yard touchdown run in the fourth period.
For the day, Franklin outgained the Yellow Jackets in total offensive yards 469 to 385.
The Grizzlies' defense was led by sophomore inside linebacker Sanchez Tate, who made seven total tackles.

Topic: Shadow Circus (July 2010)
Posted: July 31 2010 at 16:02
Shadow Circus from USA is already a familiar name in ProgArchives. Both their albums is a breath of fresh air in our scene and there is no doubts this band has the potential to become the one of the leading prog rock bands in the near future.
I got in touch with John Fontana and he very quickly answered my questions.
Your history and the development from individuals to a band has been described in the PA profile so just let us jump straight over to your two albums. Please give us your long or brief thoughts on.......
Welcome to the Freakroom from 2006
This is, of course, where it all began. It's hard to talk about this album without repeating some of what may have already been covered here...After 15 years or so of playing in rock bands in NYC, I had taken a break for a few years. As I was coming back into it, I wanted very much to join a prog band, but since none of the recordings I played on before demonstrated this style, I needed to make a demo that showed I was capable of playing this genre, so I set out to record some demos. Before sending them out to prospective bands as audition material, I forwarded the recordings to a few colleagues to get their feedback. Two of those people - Corey Folta, formerly a bandmate of mine in an alternative rock group called Persona Grata, and my good friend David Bobick, a vocalist trained in musical theater, both had strongly positive reactions to it, and thought it would be fun to complete the recordings with a full band instead of offering them to established groups as audition material. And so the core of the band was formed, and I continued to write and record until all of the songs on Welcome to the Freakroom were complete. Dave and I formed the concept of Shadow Circus, based on a mutual appreciation for Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes, and thought it would also make for a fun image to surround the band with. The idea that we would put on an outrageous live show was a key concept early on.
Whispers And Screams from 2009
With the first CD, the band formed around the music as I described. But with this release, we had a band in place, so the writing was much more collaborative, and with the band's current lineup in mind. So, this time, the music formed around the band! With the first CD, the other players actually recorded directly to the demos I made, to click tracks and so on. This CD was recorded with the band live in a room, with no click tracks. We wanted to be able to do subtle and organic tempo changes based on feel, rather than the rigid constraints of a click.
As I wrote the songs for this album, it was apparent that the dynamics had quite a broad range. Some things were softer than anything on the first CD ("When Morning Comes" and "Angel"), and also much heavier ("Captain Trips", "Willoughby"). It was also much more emotional music. It was written during an emotional period for all of us - Dave was having a kidney transplant during the production, each of us were having heavy things that we were going through, but we all remained dedicated to completing this, and it gave us all a lot of strength through those times. The range of emotions and dynamics is what inspired the title, Whispers and Screams.
How is the creative processes in your band ?
It traditionally starts with me taking the phone off the hook for a month or two, working on technique and studying new types of music, until the influence of it settles down and I can begin to generate ideas. With the first CD, I had spent months studying classical piano. On the second disk, I did some of that as well, and also studies composers of Celtic music. The over the period of a few months, I accumulate various musical ideas until they begin to take form. I can hear an epic begin to evolve when i find a motif that can be expressed in many different ways (as with the themes in "Journey of Everyman" and "Project Blue"). Then Dave listens and begins to form the concept of the lyrics, and we go from there. Once Dave and I have some solid things to work off of, we bring in the rest of the band to help complete the puzzle, and play it live in the studio.
When it comes to your music and your artistic image, I feel it has some vaudeville theatre rock influences in addtion to your main symphonic prog influences. In particular on your first album. But how would you describe your music ?
As I mentioned earlier, the idea of the band's identity was important to the concept of Shadow Circus since the beginning. Dave and I observed that most new bands don't take much effort in the area of "showmanship". In the 70's and 80's, if you met a rock star on the street, you felt like you were meeting someone from another planet! There was magic and mythology in it. Now you look on any stage, and see guys in cargo shorts and t-shirts, and you wonder, who is babysitting their kids? I wonder if their wives mind that they have a band? When punk rock deconstructed the prog scene in England in the late 70's, it at least did it with a sense of bravado and charm - the capes and flowing gowns of Wakeman and others were replaced by Mohawks and piercings. But as the 90's went on, and MTV faded, there was a rebellion against image - which was needed in some regards. But then it turned rock concerts into something that looked more like a high school Battle of the Bands.
So, we always wanted to put the band out there as a group that could put on a show, and make you imagine that you are experiencing something from another world.
You have chosen to release both your albums on your own record label. What is the pro and cons of going it alone ?
The first is actually released on Progrock Records. We decided to release the second one ourselves for various reasons, but the biggest reason is freedom. The concern of an indie label is to simply sell CDs. Which is great, we want to do that, too. But that can't be the main focus when you are looking for your audience. The primary goal has to be getting the music out there so that as many of your potential fans as possible will know about you. The way to do this now is through direct and quality interaction with fans. We do all kinds of giveaways, get involved with charitable causes of all kinds - these things are tricky with a label, because even the indies have major distribution networks in place that will restrict your ability to distribute freely.
Just to find out some more about you, please give us your opinions on........
Gigs and festivals
Finding an audience through constant gigging is a relic of the 70's. What really killed it in the U.S. was when the drinking age was raised to 21. Before that, college kids used to pack the clubs and see as many bands as they could. Once the drinking age was raised, the clubs emptied out, and the only people who would see you were the ones you personally invited to come to the show.
Now, with the internet, you have a chance to gain an audience online before you hit the clubs, but the trick for a new band is getting the critical mass in one geographic location. A new band may quickly gain 2000 fans, but they are spread out all over the world in such a way that maybe only five will come to show in any given place! The trick here is to focus on a geographic area to start with, even though you have access to the world. So, we're pushing very hard in the New York area, and are currently planning shows on the East Cost beginning in September, and culminating in our big show at The Triad Theater in NYC in October.
As for festivals, we are looking forward to playing our first festival at Progday this year, and are very excited about it! We hope we will get to play another one next year. I wish there were more one-off events. It seems a shame to me that the prog live scene in the U.S. consists of only 4 or 5 festivals each year. I would love to see many smaller events throughout the year - I'd like to see this happen both as a fan and a musician.
Classic prog rock bands like Yes, Genesis and Camel
To me, Yes was always the prime example of a great progressive band. I can't say enough about them - Rick Wakeman and Steve Howe have always been my heroes and inspiration on guitar and keyboards. I have also always been a huge fan of ELP, Jethro Tull, and King Crimson.
Vaudeville theatre acts like for example Alice Cooper and Kiss
Of course! When I saw Alice Cooper's show, I thought - that's what I want to do! He has guillotines and dancers acting out the songs - his shows are so much fun! Kiss is less so an influence for me, but our singer, Dave, is a huge Kiss fan, and we agree that their magic is in their presentation, and we definitely aspire to have that kind of effect on people live. If only we could afford the pyro, we would do it!
Record labels and the future of the music industry
It's anarchy right now! There is more music than ever before. There are more music listeners than ever before. Yet the business model used by the labels is less effective than ever. The problem is, without labels acting as gatekeepers, and without DJ's and journalists telling us what to look out for, it is a monumental task for listeners to find the music they want to hear - it's a needle in a haystack. And artists wonder how to find their fans.
There will ultimately need to be a system of dispensing music that is similar to cable television. Producers of television shows do not need to figure out where there audience is - they are all sitting in front of a TV, so they at least have a starting point. Music will eventually get its bearing and find a central way to connect listeners with music, but it's not there yet.
The death of the record stores
As Brian Eno once said, selling albums in the post-internet world is like trying to sell oil lamps after the invention of electricity. There's going to be something new, we just don't know what it is yet. Personally, I think buying music was ruined with the invention of the CD - I miss getting that beautiful album packaging - big, legible lyrics, gatefold sleeves, great artwork. If albums were still the main medium, mp3's would never replace them because with albums you could hold something of value in your hands that you couldn't reproduce yourself. Now anyone can burn a CD, but you would never press a vinyl album on your computer. I would love to see a serious resurgence in vinyl, but that's doubtful.
USA and growing up in the USA
I have no reference for comparison! From what I know, I wish that music and arts education were better here. It seems there is more of an appreciation for musicianship elsewhere, yet so much of the world still looks to the USA for music. I don't think much about how geographics effects musical influence - the world is a much more homogenized place now. Now communities are spread out physically all over the world, the boundaries are the ideals, not the physical borders so much.
Barack Obama vs. Sarah Palin
Oh, good heavens - certainly not Palin! I am so liberal that I have marks on my palms from hugging trees!
Usa vs Europe
I'm going to make a lot of people mad. But, you know what? I am tired of artists that are afraid to take a position on anything anymore because they afraid of scaring people away, but it was the social statements of the 60's that made music more important to people. I wish the USA would get over its macho insecurities. It seems that the USA is more afraid of female leaders, gay rights, etc. It sickens me that there is so much bigotry here now, and the conservative element is so afraid of any kind of change. The partisanship and culture wars have gotten too extreme. The right is defined by a "tough love" attitude that's inappropriate, in my opinion, for modern times - and the left is incapable of moving passed it. It does seem like Europe has much more of a focus on "we'd rather be happy than right", and I wish the USA would adopt some of that attitude.
After these rather untraditional and very nerdy- questions; what is your plans for the rest of this year and next year ?
Starting with Progday in a few weeks, and the big show in NYC in October - some more live appearances are in the works. Then, after the holidays, we begin work on the new album.
Anything you want to add to this interview ?
I would like to thank you for this interview, and all of our fans at Progarchives for their amazing support! And to anyone in the NY area, come see us at The Triad in NYC on October 16th, and you will see what we're really about!
A big thank you to John Fontana for answering my questions.

Great interview! John, if you read this, you're a man after my own heart in a lot of ways, it seems. I'm a nutty Libertarian politically, but found myself nodding my head in agreement to pretty much everything you said during that portion of the interview.
And of course, thanks to the interviewer for conducting it.

Very interesting interview, Shadow Circus are a band that I'm currently paying attention to, especially if their third album is as much of a step forward from their second as their second was form their first. Both albums are great but Whispers and Screams especially so!

Dub Noir is a soundtrack for a film noir. Imagine a private investigator in a city full of crime, thinking about all that went wrong. I used some acoustic guitars, as well as a Fender Rhodes. It's a bit experimental with some strange sounds and reversals but with an obvious rhythm and beat.

McCalls M6609 Variation
Added Oct 31, 2012
Kyneton, Central...
My second version of this fabulous pattern. I picked up this cotton jersey from Tessuti, just a metre for $10. I took out a couple of details from the bodice of the pattern (ie. he circular inserts). I also eliminated the lining. The neck is finished with bias binding and the sleeves are just overlocked and turned once to form a thin hem, as is the skirt hem. I cut the bodice on the bias and lining up the lines was crucial to a neat finish and took a few efforts but worth the patience.
And no zip as it's a stretch fabric. So it's a simple pull-over!
Very happy with this version and there will be many more to come.
Material Notes
Cotton jersey blend (think there's a little polyester in there)

The Edible Schoolyard Project
Bordering the wide steps leading to the entrance of Samuel J. Green Charter School in Uptown New Orleans are planters and beds filled with clusters of bright green herbs and brilliant marigolds and petunias. The plants are much more than decoration: They're symbols of the accomplishments of the students who grew them from seeds.
Many more examples of the kids' industry appear on the grounds behind and beside the school building, where beds and tubs hold cabbages, parsley, broccoli, and other herbs and vegetables, as well as flowering plants. They are some of the teaching aids used in the New Orleans Edible Schoolyard (ESY) program, introduced at the Green Charter School in September last year in a broad-based effort to teach children respect for life through gardening, food, and cooking.
Through Edible Schoolyard, the children learn about food while using food as a way to learn. They're introduced to fresh, healthy fruits and vegetables while growing and studying plants. They're taught about the connection between plant life and the seasons, and study soil types to use in their growing projects.
A prime mover in the effort to bring the program to the Green school is principal Tony Recasner, a psychologist and former Loyola University professor who reopened the school in January 2006, four months after Hurricane Katrina hit the city. His goal is simply stated: "We hope to renew New Orleans one okra plant and one child at a time."
Recasner and faculty members produce a school curriculum that augments academic subjects with ESY's hands-on learning projects. Math students are taught how to measure ground spaces and to identify different shapes. Science teachers instruct in plant parts, weather, and decomposition. Seventh and eighth graders learn about Creole cooking and its traditions as part of their curriculum on Louisiana history. Some of them recently visited a Vietnamese community garden and church, then planted herbs found in Vietnamese cooking and wrote poetry and journal entries about the experiences.
In cooperation with the Crescent City Farmers Market, local farmers and fishers come to the school to acquaint the kids with the fruits, vegetables, and seafood they produce, and the kids visit farms and fishing boats to learn how the food they eat is grown and harvested. A dozen restaurant chefs are similarly involved.
The 350 children attending Green, in kindergarten through eighth grade, come from neighborhoods across the city. Many were deprived of experiences other kids have in their everyday lives. At Green these children are encouraged to explore a host of things that others take for granted. Some had never touched a worm or a flower. Some had never tasted a fresh carrot. Some rarely share meals cooked at home (95% of the student body qualifies for the federal free-lunch program.)
The thread running through everything in the Edible Schoolyard program—the food, the gardening, the social environment—is this community approach. "A lot of kids don't have the experience of working as part of a team—getting along at home, at school, and out in their communities," Donna Cavato, the program's director, said. "Through the communities here at school, they learn to respect each other. Together, they learn to nurture and create. They learn that we have the power to be destructive or to be creative by growing things and sharing. When the time comes for them to find jobs, they'll need to know how to work in a small group that's part of a larger group."
The Edible Schoolyard concept first took root in the Berkeley, Calif., school district as the brainchild of restaurateur Alice Waters, one of the country's foremost advocates of fresh, nutritious foods. The New Orleans program is the only other one being supported by Waters' Chez Panisse Foundation, which provided $110,000 in startup money.
The Alice Waters connection is due in part to a chance encounter she had in New York shortly after Katrina with Randy Fertel, son of the late Ruth Fertel, who founded the Ruth's Chris Steak House chain. Fertel heads the Ruth U. Fertel Foundation, which provided a $75,000 grant to the school's ESY program. He and Cathy Pierson of the New Orleans Town Gardeners club have been working especially closely with the project since its start.
Cavato says the nutritional part of the program is critical "because we want to bring more fresh, local foods into our cafeteria. Many of our kids have no grocery stores in their neighborhood. A lot of their parents have no vehicles to get to supermarkets. So a lot of the children eat most of their food here."
While more funds are being raised, the school's complete garden is in the final planning stages. In two years, a specially designed kitchen is expected to be completed. Until then, the kids use portable equipment to prepare such foods as slow-cooked apple sauce with several varieties of apples and hand-churned ice cream with Louisiana strawberries.
In a recent third-grade cooking class, a group of about 20 chattering kids gathered around a large, U-shaped table to be led through the preparation of simple pizzas. Their enthusiasm was total as they spooned oil and sprinkled freshly picked herbs onto the store-bought dough. They sat fascinated before a toaster-oven while the pizzas cooked, and then they shared the fruits of their labor.
Among the goals of the New Orleans Edible Schoolyard project is to become a model for other schools in the area as a way to reinvigorate public education. Five months after the ESY program came to the Green school, teachers say they've already seen improvement in many of the children's attention levels, behavior, and teamwork ability.
"They're empowered," Cavato said, "and they're proud of what they're doing. When you give them a chance to create and improve something, they take a lot of pride of ownership from it. They have the power to create and nurture, and they ultimately realize that this is the power to realize their dreams."

Keeping LEDs Cool Gets More Manageable Through SimulationAulis Tuominen and Mika Maaspuro

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) offer many benefits over incandescent lighting, such as long life spans and high luminous efficiency, and they are environmentally friendly. One of the drawbacks, however, is that LEDs need to operate at the lowest possible temperatures and this must be carefully regulated.
Researchers at Business and Innovation Development Technology at the University of Turku in Finland have focused their attention on designing an efficient and inexpensive heat sink to regulate temperature. Simulation was crucial to their process as building prototypes is an expensive and time-consuming process.
Large manufacturing companies, such as Philips and Hella Lighting, use simulation to improve their LEDs as well. Simulation in COMSOL Multiphysics allows companies to determine the effect of new materials on the thermal behavior of the LED lighting device before a sample of that new material is even required for testing.
LED driver module simulation results where power dissipation in each component has been resolved by SPICE circuit simulation.

After a four-day trade mission in Havana and other rice industry areas of Cuba, the USA Rice - led delegation returned to the United States with a stronger trade relationship and a better understanding of Cuba's rice needs.
"Cuba is estimated to import 550,000 tons of rice this year, however, only a fifth of that comes from the U.S. due to U.S.-imposed export restrictions," said USA Rice Chairman Gary Sebree, a rice grower from Arkansas. "However, if that market was made available to us, it would become a top market overnight. This visit helped to further strengthen or relationship with the buyers of rice, the users of rice, and most importantly, the consumers of rice in Cuba."
The USA Rice delegation was the largest and most visible among the estimated 400 farmers and food traders in Havana to make trade contacts. During a week of activities designed to promote U.S. rice in Cuba, the delegation met with the president and CEO of ALIMPORT, Cuba's food import agency, who signed a joint communiqué with USA Rice, pledging to continue joint promotion efforts and work to create a more open trade environment. In addition, contracts were signed for the future delivery of U.S. rice.
Cash sales OK
While full two-way trade between the U.S. and Cuba is prohibited, cash sales of U.S. agriculture goods are allowed. The USA Rice delegation made a commitment to try to lower trade barriers in the U.S. so that two-way trade can be reestablished. The group met with leadership of Cuba's rice industry, touring and learning about the country's production capabilities and milling industry, and went into retail establishments to renew ties with major rice retailers on the supermarket side and in the popular market segment.
In addition to Sebree, the delegation included USA Rice President and CEO Stuart Proctor, Director of Latin American Promotions Marvin Lehrer, and the following USA Rice members: rice producers Linda Zaunbrecher of Gueydan, La., and Paul T. Combs of Kennett, Mo., Terry Harris of Arkansas-based Riceland Foods, Marvin Baden of Arkansas-based Producer's Rice Mill, Antonio Benavides and Javier Ferrer of Texas-based Riviana Foods, and Ramiro Velasquez of California-based The Rice Co.
The USA Rice Federation is the national advocate for all segments of the rice industry, conducting activities to influence government programs, developing and initiating programs to increase worldwide demand for U.S. rice, and providing other services to increase industry profitability for all industry segments.

One in five Nature readers -- mostly scientists -- say they up their mental performance with drugs such as Ritalin, Provigil, and Inderal. [...] when asked how they felt about professional thinkers using drugs to enhance their cognitive performance, nearly 80% said it should be allowed. While this report reaches a different part of science, the usage of these drugs can be utilized by software developers alike. What is your opinion on this, somewhat new, development?

Apple has released the source code for WebKit in iOS 4.3, which it had been withholding for eight weeks. However, according yo Jay 'saurik' Freeman, they are still not, and never have been, in compliance with the LGPL. "Apple's provided source code (which /is/ heavily modified for the iPhone) [...] isn't even complete enough to compile (it is missing a bunch of code for the WAK* classes), so Apple has simply never been in compliance with this license," Saurik writes. So, it would seem that Apple is still violating the LGPL, and has been doing so for a very long time. Funny how this never makes it to mainstream technology sites. I guess they find their pre-release review devices more important.

Hi Zephan, I could hit at UNM this weekend if you want to just rally...no pressure. Let me know! I am new to ABQ since September from San Francisco. I have played in ABQ but not at UNM... Dena
that'd be cool! I work at 2 tomorrow, and I'll be busy all day Sunday. But I'll be free all day today! So anytime between now and 2pm tomorrow. :)
Before noon on Saturday is good for me...between 9 and noon? ...do you want to pick a spot and maybe send me the map link? I know there are courts off of "Campus" behind all the construction, but I have only biked by them and not played there...I have seen people playing on the weekends. My texting phone is a CA # ... i really don't want to post it on the list here. Dena
So I tried looking for a map, but I can't find one. But it's really easy to find if you've seen the courts already. It's just beside all that construction at Johnson field. And I'm down to play 9-12! If you want, you can just email me so it won't be on the post. [please share private info via our PM system or Friend Request. Thanks.]
okay - will send an e-mail now to confirm time...Dena
I can play near UNM Im about a 3.5. I can play anytime.
good morning, zephan-
i live in silver hill/unm-if you're still looking for a partner, i'd be happy to hit with you. i work m-th till 5-6pm-off fridays and most of saturday and sunday.

Katherine Heigl Photos From the Set of Her Upcoming Movie, "27 Dresses"Steve Marsi at . Comments
Looks like Patrick Dempsey isn't the only Grey's Anatomy star spending part of his summer filming a project for the big screen.
Our staff came across a few photos of Katherine Heigl on the set of her new movie, 27 Dresses, that we thought we'd pass along.
As you may be able to tell from the pictures, Katherine Heigl plays a perennial bridesmaid who wonders if she'll ever be a bride...
Of course, in real life, Katie is happily engaged to musician Josh Kelley. Her current film, Knocked Up, has received critical and commercial praise.
For more of these Katherine Heigl photos, check out this gallery of the vivacious Grey's Anatomy star on her movie set.

Before & After: Emilie's Brighter, More Functional Kitchen
Like this entry? Favorite it below!
- Name:
- Emilie
- Location:
- Ithaca , NY
- Division:
- United States
- About my kitchen reveal:
- We wanted a brighter and more functional cooking space that still felt like it belonged in our Victorian house, all on a modest DIY budget. By changing the placement of the sink and stove and making careful use of Ikea's cabinet and drawer options (along with several modified cabinets and custom-built pieces), we increased the useable counter and storage space and improved the organization of cooking and pantry items. We were also able to preserve several original features: we kept the bead board wall; we scavenged window trim from the basement to match the rest of the house; and we refinished the fir floors, which had been buried under several layers of other flooring.
- My best tip for a successful kitchen makeover::
- Plan—and measure!—carefully ahead of time, but be open to changes when the project is underway. We considered many different layouts and even thought through what would go in each drawer and cabinet before beginning the project. As a result, we think we've made really good use of the space we have. But some of our favorite features—adding a custom pullout pantry next to the refrigerator and preserving the bead board around the sink (rather than putting in a tile backsplash)—were not in our original plans.
- My favorite meal to cook in my kitchen::
- One of the nicest things about our new kitchen is that there is now space for my husband and I to work together (with plenty of room for our 8-month old to play with spoons and bowls on the floor!) We've cooked holiday meals for a crowd, made big batches of jam and applesauce, and even baked a wedding cake for friends.

EDIT: wow am i the only one who thinks attack on titan is far better than any mainstream action show or movie currently? fights, music, plot, idea and characters wise?
Okay so after i'v abandoned hollywood movies and popular TV series because i had my hands full with watching so much anime i decided to give iron man 3 a chance and it felt very underwhelming as opposed to the emotions i got from Aot or Hunter x Hunter's episodes, hell even some moments within the big 3.
i really do think that the stories, the designs and the characters depicted by the Japanese are far superior and more original than any mainstream show currently.
and if anime ever had the opportunity to showcase to the world what it really is i believe it would conquer the mainstream entertainment, and if that is accomplished we will have more shows, better animation and more stories to tell due to the budgets being exponentially increased and subsequently increasing the potential of the anime industry.
EDIT: since the replies weren't centered around one subject let me be specific and raise two questions:
1) Is anime Better than current mainstream american shows? (not in terms of popularity)
2) Will anime one day be as popular as or even surpass mainstream shows and become subsequently the mainstream media?
I think a 1 billion dollar profit disagrees with you by far.
anime can only wish to make that out of a single year (all anime shows)
I will say that some anime movies, some, do get pretty good releases like spirited away.
kung fu panda is a cartoon and it did very well i believe both movies made 1.4 billion
finding nemo also did very well 900million
In all honestly it is because it is Japanese they don't market it.
His Holiness Optimus Maximus Decimus Meridius Colossus Nemesis Nexus Genesis
if it was mainstream there is no doubt it could but that's where the problem lies, it's really hard to make "cartoons" for adults mainstream because that's what everybody thinks when they see anime. the mainstream entertainments only uses cartoon for comedy shows that aren't to be taken seriously.
hell would break loose.
On an ever-so slightly more serious note, no. Anime can only appeal to a select audience as of current.
CR is missing out on a great market: movies.
You see in the US plenty of movies get aired pretty fast, there can't be that big of a gap to license movies versus series. They could always charge you more to get movie access.
It's just good business, if the service is good people will pay.
His Holiness Optimus Maximus Decimus Meridius Colossus Nemesis Nexus Genesis
Simple answer,nope
We have shows like Breaking Bad,Walking dead,Sons Of Anarchy,Vampire Diaries and such Its to different sets of people and anime fans are the minority
There are way to many closed minded people to give anime a chance anyways. And there ARE those great movies that even surpass anime like Inception,Dark Knight trilogy,The Great Gatsby etc
I used to watch a lot of anime when I was younger, I just recently started watching it again after a 3 year break. Within that period of time I had tried to watch anime again, but anime is certainly something that one has to acquire a taste for, which I had lost for a bit, it's very different from that of mainstream media. I think anime can be a bit quirky and obscure, especially compared to mainstream media, so the mainstream media just seems to resonate better with the majority. I don't think it will ever be more popular than mainstream media, but I think that at times it could be just as popular, like Studio Ghibli films have a relatively large fan base even among people who don't watch anime regularly.
Nobody with Naturally Wavy Hair Can Be That Bad
Anime is cool and all but pffffft good luck but I would still choose Anime over any mainstream show
If the works of Miyazaki-sensei aren't "mainstream" enough for the average person, then I have a hard time seeing them accept the more specialized, niche anime. But you just never know. The possibility for change is always there.
You are now reading my status message.
Yes, it could. Hollywood hasn't come up with fresh ideas for quite some time now. While some anime are repetitious, most are original ideas. Anime has even been dominating over cartoons on Saturday mornings for quite some time now. It's literally taking over the toy department shelves as well. Finally, most people have been using the internet instead of utilizing the tv. No American channel has fully utilized streaming other than selling a few on video game consoles, and only way after it's been released. Anime, on the other hand, has been easily accessible on the web. Japan doesn't just hold them back, making it easier to access. It's only a matter of time before Honey Boo Boo goes out the door.
Winter isn't just coming. It's here.
I enjoy anime and I enjoy 'mainstream" entertainment as well. One is not superior to the other. They both have good and bad tat are enjoyable. One of the biggest thing that tends to keep anime from becoming mainstream is the cultural difference. It took me a long time to adapt to the idiosyncratic sensibilities apparent in a lot of anime. Hell half the shows I watch now I would have never given a chance 10 years ago. One thing I have seen is the influence that anime has on certain filmmakers (Guillermo Del Toro comes to mind). That influence will only grow with time just like Asian action films and directors have influenced mainstream cinema (Akira Kurosawa, John Woo anyone?) Although there is much that I love about anime there is also a lot that I don't like as well. I guess it clashes with my western sensibilities. My dream one day is to make and release a successful mature animated movie in theaters. So who knows maybe I will be one of the heralds to help change the perception.
I'm not sure that I care. I enjoy what I enjoy. and as long as I can acquire it. I'm happy. Not sure if it would be as fun with millions of others all watching the same thing. Though it would make casual conversation consist of more than weather and sports.
11. Everything is air-droppable at least once.
Depends on the anime you are watching.
White, cis, teenaged girl here.

There are still way to many people who look at Anime as some cartoon show. when they break that mold and accept Anime as an art form then things will change.

CD Arbitrage Slapped Down In The UK
from the higher-prices-for-everyone! dept
Because, apparently, fair market values for CDs are just too inexpensive for UK and Irish customers, the recording industry in the UK has slapped down an online company that dared to sell cheaper CDs they ordered from overseas. This is part of the same investigation of Amazon we mentioned a couple of weeks ago - though Amazon still hasn't caved in on the issue. Once again, I don't see how this sort of protectionist policy can stand. The company was simply ordering legal CDs at their fair market value and reselling them elsewhere. That's just good business. However, the UK recording industry wants to keep CD prices artificially high and therefore drive their customers to look for other alternatives (file sharing, ordering their own CDs from overseas, etc.). This does nothing to help the consumer at all.

The Marshall License Office has been awarded to Minerva Licensing Services, LLC, which is associated with Rebecca Buie of Marshall. Ms. Buie has been the incumbent agent since 2005, and the office will remain at 120 N. Lafayette Ave.
James R. Williams of Kansas City has been named as the new agent for the North Kansas City License Office. The office will stay at its current location of 2600 Burlington, Suite 100.
Linda Harris will remain as the agent at the Salem License Office – a post she has held since 2005. The office will stay at its current location of 102 W. Third St.
Details about any changes in office operations, if any, will be announced by the agents.
The five offices awarded today are the latest to have their management chosen using a bidding process that was implemented when Gov. Nixon took office on Jan. 12. The process calls for people or groups to submit detailed bids to obtain the management contracts to operate the offices. The Dexter, Lebanon, Marshall and North Kansas City license offices all received two bids, and there was one bid for the Salem office.
Gov. Nixon signed legislation on July 1 that permanently puts his competitive bidding process into state law. The bill endorsing the change passed with huge bipartisan majorities in the Missouri Senate and House.
"Republicans and Democrats alike endorsed this new, transparent method of awarding the license offices, and legislators from both political parties praised the legislation at the recent bill signing," Gov. Nixon said. "Since I took office, the Department of Revenue has focused on awarding license office contracts to those who pledge to run their offices in an efficient and customer-friendly way. It's hard to believe that anyone would want to undo this progress and return to the old patronage system."
Alana M. Barragán-Scott, acting director of the Missouri Department of Revenue, said she is pleased with how the competition for license offices has progressed.
"The new system provides incentives for current office agents and new bidders to improve the services at the license offices," she said. "Instead of just awarding a license office without any regard to the customers, the new system demands that potential agents detail their office operations, including how many hours they will stay open and how they will handle busier times at the office. The bids are reviewed by the professional staff here at the Department of Revenue, and once a winner is selected the relevant bid documents are open for public inspection."
Some winning bidders have chosen to return part of their estimated office revenues to the state. The Dexter License Office will return 2 percent ($3,058) of its first-revenues, Lebanon will return 3 percent ($6,858), Marshall will return one-half of 1 percent ($624), North Kansas City will return 3 percent ($11,040), and Salem will return 1 percent ($928) to the state. The cumulative amount of estimated funds that will be returned to the state in the first contract year from the 38 license offices that have been awarded so far is $261,343.
"The willingness of agents to return some of their profits is a great cost-efficiency measure for the state, and the amount returned to the state will undoubtedly grow as more bids are awarded," Barragán-Scott said. "This money will be able to be used for a variety of vital state services."
Of the 183 license offices, 38 have been awarded and the bidding time has closed for another 86. For a list of winning bidders for license offices, please go to http://oa.mo.gov/purch/awardedfeeoffices.pdf.
All local license offices provide services that are overseen by the Missouri Department of Revenue, but each office is operated by an independent contractor. Transactions that are conducted at these offices include the issuance and renewal of driver licenses, applying for titles for motor vehicles, and the issuance and renewal of registration for motor vehicles, boats and outboard motors.
Additional information on the bids will be posted by the Missouri Office of Administration within the next few days.

After falling short in a series of late game rallies the Lipscomb Bisons scored three runs in the seventh and five more in the ninth to beat the University of Kentucky 8-7 on a cold and drizzly Tuesday night at Cliff Hagan Stadium in Lexington, Ky.
"It felt good to get one like that and give someone else the medicine we were given Sunday at Florida Gulf Coast," said Bisons coach Jeff Forehand. "We were loose. It was cold and it rained all night. But we had a lot of enthusiasm."
The win was the first in five games against Southeastern Conference teams this season. The Bisons are 3-0 all-time against Kentucky in the NCAA era with the first two wins dating back to 2002 and 2003.
The Bisons had to battle back from behind. Kentucky jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the second inning and added four more ruins in the sixth. They scored one run in the ninth, but fell short of stopping the Bisons comeback.
Matt Bowling started for the Bisons. He gave up two runs, both earned, on three hits. He walked one and struck out one.
Josh Cotham was the first pitcher called in from the bullpen. He also last three innings, scattering four hits and allowing four runs, all earned. He walked two and stuck out one.
Martin Grude got the call next, pitching two innings. He was touched for three hits. Kentucky scored one run against him. He struck out two. Grude was credited with the win, evening his season record at 1-1.
Kyle Tognazzini closed the game out for the Bisons, earning his sixth save of the year.
"Bowling, Cotham and Grude all pitched great," said Forehand. "Tognazzini came in with runners on first and third and no outs in the ninth. He got Kentucky to hit into a double play and a ground out."
The Bisons had nine hits with Tyler Wilson and Branden Cadavid each collecting two hits. Wilson also had two runs batted in.
In the seventh inning Tennyson Dodd doubled down the right field line. He drove in Andrew Nickerson who had walked. With two outs Wilson singled through the left side to score Dodd and Antonio Butler who had reached base on a fielder's choice. Butler would score on a wild pitch.
The Bisons struck again in the ninth. Justin Sanders singled to the shortstop scoring M.L. Williams who was on base as the result of an error by Kentucky's second baseman. Wilson, who had singled to left, scored on a passed ball. Nickerson then reached base on a fielding error by the second baseman which sent Sanders and Channing Brown home.
"This was a good team win," Forehand said. "We had big hits. We made good plays. We had solid base running and great pitching."
Wilson has 23 stolen bases. Cadavid and Dodd each had a double.
It was the last non-conference road game for the Bisons this season. They are 16-24 overall. Kentucky is 21-18 overall.
The Bisons continue their string of road games this weekend when they return to Atlantic Sun play Friday, Saturday and Sunday at Jacksonville.

You know I obsessed with Chanel Quads at the moment? Well they aren't cheap, at £30.50p in the UK but they are a really luxury, gorgeous item to own.
I made the mistake of buying a fake Chanel quad not so long ago even though I should have known better. Not because there aren't genuine cosmetics on Ebay, but because there was no name for the Quad, the colours; bright turquoise, bright pink, bright yellow, bright red, didn't look very Chanel to me, but I was intrigued.
I won the bid for around £16, received it and it was a complete and utter fake.
I remember being at school and the girls buying clothes from the market that spelt Abbibas. It was that obvious.
The case was rectangular, the box had weird lettering on it, the colours were rock solid it was a case of no colour will be coming off this…it came with brushes, not sponges. I should have taken photos of it, but I was too disgusted too look at it twice. I contacted the seller who agreed to refund me. She said it might have been bought at an airport. Or a van by the airport seems more likely.
So if you see a Chanel Quad or another high end eyeshadow you want from Ebay remember to:
1. Ask for the official name of the product and…
2. Google it. You should be able to find a Make Up Alley review, or a picture or an article writing about its release (if it is Limited Edition). I doubt there is much that is so obscure or so out of date that it cannot be found in some way on the Internet. If it can't do you really want 10 year old make up?
3. Chanel Eyeshadows are SQUARE with rounded corners.
4. They come with white tipped sponge applicators.
5. Go to the Chanel site to check items actually exist and to compare swatches.
6. Europe and Asia Shadows come in a round form, in the US it is square. No, it doesn't come in triangle.
7. There are some limited items which do come in rectangular cases (like aqualumieres) but if you Google it, you should be able to find an image of it somewhere.
For example, there is a current listing: 360010741355, on the UK site for a Chanel Quad in Nymphea. As I am obsessed with that quad but cannot bring myself to buy it, I know that the colours are off and look too matte. The green particular (which I have tested many times on the back of my hand – ahem), is the wrong shade entirely – it is too matte and dark. Then, with further inspection, there is a brush supplied with this, not sponges. The edges of the case look sharp, not rounded off like other Chanel Quads. The outer box looks real.
I have no doubt in my mind that that one is a fake but the seller may not know it. In this situation I would inform the seller and see what he/she does about it as it really isn't fair on the unsuspecting shopper to have to end up with fake goods and wonder why Chanel shadows are such a let down. Also, there is no saying what has gone into this eyeshadow product.
I can't let you go without some beauty.
Wentworth! Who on earth is that! She's too pale for you!

In the Product Showcase section, we've just posted some products that need a little highlighting.
First is a trio of products from Siemens: Three rugged RFID readers. They're worthy of attention because of how easily they can be integrated into existing industrial-automation systems with any communications bus.
Second comes a wireless Q45 sensor from Banner Engineering. It deserves some special notice because of its ability to interface with any PNP or dry contact outputs.
Finally, the latest additions to the family of Gore Skyflex aerospace materials should be recognized because they provide surface protection in the most challenging environments.
Siemens Simatic RF200 With IO-Link Interfaces
Siemens Industry Inc. has added three compact, rugged, and affordable RFID readers with standard IO-Link interfaces to its family of Simatic RF200 RFID products.
Two of the new readers are cylindrically shaped -- the RF210R (M18) and RF220R (M30) models are for small assembly lines with cramped mounting conditions. The block-shaped RF260R (75mm x 75mm x 40mm) reader offers a longer sensing range (HF field), useful for track guided assembly lines and conveyors.
"The new RFID readers easily integrate into existing industrial automation systems with any communications bus," said Michael LaGrega, RFID and Code Reading Systems Engineer, Siemens Industry, in a press release. "It is an economical option for easy and open connections."
The industrial-grade readers' standardized IO-Link interface makes it easy to integrate them into sensor level automation. No RFID-specific programming is required, further simplifying any application.
In addition to sensor level automation, the IO-Link readers seamlessly integrate into Simatic ET200 distributed control systems using Profinet and Profibus communications networks with one of two IO-Link master modules. The master module ET 200S 4SI is suitable for IP20 control cabinets, while the master module of the ET 200eco PN with a high 1P67 protection rating is suitable for field mounting.

Two Nisei veterans of World War II from Hood River will be honored Sunday at a town hall hosted by Sen. Ron Wyden.
The annual Hood River town hall will be at 3:30 p.m. at Hood River Valley Adult Center, 2010 Sterling Place.
Wyden, a Portland Democrat, holds one town hall meeting in each county every year. He will give a legislative report, and the community may ask questions and make comments to Wyden on any topic.
Wyden will present Congressional Gold Medals to Sab Akiyama and Taylor Tomita.
In 2009-10, Congress passed and the President signed legislation honoring the "Nisei" soldiers of the 442nd, several of whom are living in Oregon. Wyden co-sponsored the legislation. Many of the Nisei soldiers eligible for the Congressional Gold Medal went to Washington, D.C., earlier this year to personally receive the medal.
"Many were not able to go, including Mr. Akiyama and Mr. Tomita, so Senator Wyden is bringing the medal to them," said Tom Towslee, Wyden's communications director.
Akiyama was a member of the Military Intelligence Service that served with American soldiers in the Pacific during World War II.
Tomita fought with the 442nd Regimental Combat Team in Europe during World War II. The 442nd Regimental Combat Team of the U.S. Army was composed of mostly Japanese Americans who fought in Europe during World War II while many of their friends and families were held in internment camps back home in the United States.
The unit became the most highly decorated regiment in the history of the United States Armed Forces, with 21 Medal of Honor recipients. The motto of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team was "Go for broke." Other Japanese-American soldiers served with the military in the Pacific, acting mostly as translators.

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Policy. It is the policy of the United States to plan and prepare for the timely provision of medical countermeasures to the American people in the event of a biological attack in the United States through a rapid Federal response in coordination with State, local, territorial, and tribal governments.
This policy would seek to: (1) mitigate illness and prevent death; (2) sustain critical infrastructure; and (3) complement and supplement State, local, territorial, and tribal government medical countermeasure distribution capacity.
Sec. 2. United States Postal Service Delivery of Medical Countermeasures. (a) The U.S. Postal Service has the capacity for rapid residential delivery of medical countermeasures for self administration across all communities in the United States. The Federal Government shall pursue a national U.S. Postal Service medical countermeasures dispensing model to respond to a large-scale biological attack.
(b) The Secretaries of Health and Human Services and Homeland Security, in coordination with the U.S. Postal Service, within 180 days of the date of this order, shall establish a national U.S. Postal Service medical countermeasures dispensing model for U.S. cities to respond to a large-scale biological attack, with anthrax as the primary threat consideration.
(c) In support of the national U.S. Postal Service model, the Secretaries of Homeland Security, Health and Human Services, and Defense, and the Attorney General, in coordination with the U.S. Postal Service, and in consultation with State and local public health, emergency management, and law enforcement officials, within 180 days of the date of this order, shall develop an accompanying plan for supplementing local law enforcement personnel, as necessary and appropriate, with local Federal law enforcement, as well as other appropriate personnel, to escort U.S. Postal workers delivering medical countermeasures.

Implementation of a Federal strategy to rapidly dispense medical countermeasures requires establishment of a Federal rapid response capability.
(b) The Secretaries of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services, in coordination with the Secretary of Defense, within 90 days of the date of this order, shall develop a concept of operations and establish requirements for a Federal rapid response to dispense medical countermeasures to an affected population following a large-scale biological attack.
Sec. 4. Continuity of Operations. (a) The Federal Government must establish mechanisms for the provision of medical countermeasures to personnel performing mission-essential functions to ensure that mission-essential functions of Federal agencies continue to be performed following a biological attack.
(b) The Secretaries of Health and Human Services and Homeland Security, within 180 days of the date of this order, shall develop a plan for the provision of medical countermeasures to ensure that mission-essential functions of executive branch departments and agencies continue to be performed following a large-scale biological attack.

(i) authority granted by law to a department or agency, or the head thereof; or
(ii) functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

MELBOURNE, Fla. -- Barry assistant coach Maria Lopez gushed over her team's effort. Finally, they have doubles dynamics.
"I haven't seen our doubles teams play that well in a long time," Lopez said. "Our girls were working so well together. They were coming together after every point. It was great."
A good start indeed for the No. 5-ranked Buccaneers in a 9-0 victory at No. 18 Florida Tech Saturday to open the season. Barry used three new players in a lineup that featured a major facelift. But they all delivered.
Freshman Elisabeth Abanda knocked off No. 4-ranked Kristina Huba, 6-2, 2-6, 10-5 at No. 1 singles in her first collegiate match. She and fellow freshman Emma Onila paired to beat Huba and Stephanie Dohner, 8-2, at No. 1 doubles.
Barry's 18th-ranked doubles team of Linda Fritschken and Isabelo Miro rang up an 8-2 win over Abbey Keister and Chloe Chanley at No. 2 pairs. Akemi Maehama and Karina Goia defeated Jessica Widmark and Charlotte Fahnehjelm, 8-0, at No. 3.
Fritschken, ranked 19th in the nation in singles, rolled to a 6-2, 6-1 victory over Dohner at the No. 2 spot. Onila collected her first collegiate singles victory with a 6-1, 6-2 win over Chanley at No. 3. Maehama breezed to a 6-0, 6-1 win over Fahnehjelm at No. 4.
Miro, a transfer from Oklahoma State who played during the fall season with the Bucs, beat Keister, 6-2, 6-2, at No. 5. Goia won her first college match, defeating Katie Close, 6-0, 6-1, at No. 6.
