Story highlights
- Wales 3-1 Belgium
- Wales reaches first ever major tournament semifinal
(CNN)"Don't take me home. Please don't take me home."
The Welsh players certainly seem to be listening to the chant made famous by their fans at Euro 2016, as victory over Belgium in the quarterfinals ensured its fairytale run shows no signs of coming to an end.
Playing at a first major tournament since the 1958 World Cup, players and fans alike are making the most of this once in a generation opportunity to showcase themselves on football's biggest stage.
Belgium started the match as heavy favorite and it appeared to be going to script when Radja Nainggolan's vicious long-range strike gave it the lead inside 15 minutes.
However, goals from captain Ashley Williams and free agent Hal Robson-Kanu handed Wales a famous win.
It was backs against the wall for Wales from the referee's first whistle and only some outstanding last-ditch defending kept Belgium at bay inside 10 minutes.
Wayne Hennessey denied Yannick Ferreira Carrasco at close range, before Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku had shots cleared off the line as the Belgian players looked on incredulously.
But it wasn't long before Belgium's pressure told. Nainggolan was afforded far too much time and space on the edge of the Welsh box and he rifled a shot into the top corner that Hennessey's fingertips failed to keep out.
The goal seemed to spark Wales to life and Neil Taylor's goal-bound effort was expertly parried away by Thibaut Courtois.
Then, just after the half hour mark, Welsh captain Ashley Williams stooped low to head Joe Allen's corner past the helpless Courtois to draw his side level.
Wales continued to dominate possession after the equalizer and took the lead for the first time 10 minutes into the second half.
Robson-Kanu, recently released by English second division club Reading, controlled Ramsey's cross and produced a wonderful Cruyff turn to fool three Belgium defenders, before coolly slotting the ball past Courtois.
Belgium began to dominate as it searched for an equalizer but was left susceptible to the counter-attack.
Five minutes before the end, full-back Chris Gunter found himself deep in Belgian territory and delivered a teasing ball into the box. Substitute Sam Vokes beat Toby Alderweireld at the near post to glance the ball past the despairing dive of Courtois.
Belgium continued to press for a goal but, in truth, never looked like breaching the Wales defense again.
"No, I can't put it into words," manager Chris Coleman told the BBC after the match.
"To be honest we knew it would be tough, they're a tough team. I've said it before, we're not here to enjoy it, we're here to compete.
"We've got a very good team of players. They keep going past what they already achieved."

A student I know returned from the holiday and heard the news that coach Danny Hope was out. The same student , and her friends,then spotted Jim Tressel on campus. Could it be?
Who Next At Purdue. A Tressel Sighting.
Comments ... #
It wouldn't make much sense. He could be advising and taking a fee.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but all of those years he coached at YSU and OSU he was also paying into the PERS system, and he has to be close to thirty years, which would give him something like 75-80% of the average of his five highest salaries.
Right now he's working for U of Akron; tick tock, tick tock. He was making like $4mil a year at OSU and would get most of that annually for the rest of his life if he simply worked in Ohio. So why leave?
posted by BusterBluth on Nov 26, 2012 at 10:44:01 pm #
Also hiring him after what he did at OSU would be suicide.

Tressel was also given a Show-Cause penalty by the NCAA, which is in effect until Dec 19, 2016.

Speculating: Purdue football: Five candidates to replace Danny Hope
- Sonny Dykes, Louisiana Tech
- Darrell Hazell, Kent State
- Butch Jones, Cincinnati:
- Brock Spack, Illinois State
- Pete Lembo, Ball State
- Mark Helfrich, Oregon
Another article mentioned the Northern Illinois coach.
Nov 26, 2012 - Stop talk of Tressel
Already, there are all kind of Internet rumors about Jim Tressel, and with Bill Polian on AD Morgan Burke's advisory committee — along with Colts GM Ryan Grigson and Texans GM Rick Smith — Tressel's name is going to gain more traction.
He's got a five-year "show cause" penalty against him, which means some of the sanctions levied against him at Ohio State would follow him to Purdue.
Purdue's record was 6-6 (3-5 in the conference). They won their final three games. But Purdue had some tough losses.
The Boilermakers lost at Notre Dame 20-17 when the Irish kicked the winning field goal in the final seconds of the game.
Purdue lost at Ohio State in overtime. The Buckeyes scored a touchdown and a two-point conversion in the final seconds of regulation to force overtime.
Of course, Notre Dame and Ohio State are both undefeated.
I thought Tressel was working for the Colts? He is working for Akron?
posted by Molsonator on Nov 27, 2012 at 08:52:28 am #
He will only work in a consultant role thru the end of his own personal sanctions.
Akron created a position and hired him in Feb 2012.
Maybe he can consult Coach Bowden on his dietary plan.

How would a dechlorinator tablet effect the ph levels of water?
- print Print
- list Cite
Dechlorination of water aims to remove the chlorine or chloramine in the water systems before consumption. Usually, tap water is commonly chlorinated in order to purify it or kill microorganisms. However, high levels of chlorine intake are not good for humans and even to other organisms such as fishes and other sea creatures. To attain that problem, dechlorinating tablets are being used in order to reduce the chlorine to a less toxic substance chloride.
Common dechlorinators are the sodium thiosulfate. This compound is not toxic to humans and has wide range of usage in the industry. The reaction of the tablets produces protons which decreases the pH of the water but not drastic. Other compounds used are Sodium hydroxymethanesulfonate and Sodium hydroxymethane sulfinic acid which is used for marine systems does affect the pH but not so much as well.
The reaction of Chlorine with sodium thiosulfate can be written as:
`Na_2S_2O_3 + Cl_2 + H_2O -> Na_2SO_4 + S + 2 H^(+) + 2Cl^(-)`
Some people use vitamin C to dechlorinate the water. Although it is not as effective, it can also lower the pH levels of the water system.

By ALEX BERENSON
Published: November 4, 2005
The drug giant Merck won decisively Thursday in the second Vioxx-related personal injury case to go to trial, an outcome that legal experts say could slow the flood of lawsuits against the company.
A nine-member jury in a state court here found by an 8-to-1 vote that the painkiller Vioxx had not caused Frederick Humeston, a 60-year-old Idaho postal worker, to have a heart attack in September 2001. Mr. Humeston, who survived, testified in the case.
Perhaps just as significant for Merck, which is already the subject of thousands of Vioxx cases and in August lost the first one to go to trial, the jury concluded unanimously that the company had properly marketed the drug. Vioxx was taken by 20 million Americans between 1999 and 2004. Merck stopped selling it after a clinical trial linked the drug to heart attacks and strokes in patients taking Vioxx for 18 months or longer.
The case was heard in Atlantic County Superior Court before Judge Carol E. Higbee, who is overseeing more than 2,900 suits filed in state court in New Jersey against Merck, which is based in Whitehouse Station, N.J. In all, more than 6,400 lawsuits have been filed against Merck in state and federal courts, and tens of thousands more are expected.
At a news conference after the verdict, Vickie Heintz, a juror, said that lawyers for Merck had convinced her that Mr. Humeston's heart attack had probably resulted from stress and anxiety, not from Vioxx. Mr. Humeston took Vioxx for less than two months before his heart attack.
''I just think Mr. Humeston had way too many health issues to pinpoint it to Vioxx,'' Ms. Heintz said. ''Stress was a huge factor in my decision.'' The jury deliberations, which lasted for nine hours over three days, were largely free of rancor, Ms. Heintz said.
Lawyers for Merck said they were pleased that the jury had decided that Merck did not conceal Vioxx's risks from doctors or consumers, even though company documents and e-mail messages show that Merck scientists were concerned about Vioxx's potential heart dangers as early as 1997.
''The company did provide information fully and promptly to the regulatory and scientific community,'' Kenneth C. Frazier, Merck's senior vice president and general counsel, said in a conference call with reporters after the verdict.
Merck and federal regulators continue to discuss the possibility of returning Vioxx to the market, Mr. Frazier said. Merck's shares rose $1.07, or 3.7 percent, after the verdict, closing Thursday afternoon at $29.48.
Merck's lawyers hugged and kissed after Judge Higbee read the verdict in the Atlantic County Superior Courthouse just before 11 a.m. Two members of the Merck trial team began to cry.
The decision comes less than three months after a Texas jury found Merck liable in the first Vioxx case to reach trial and awarded the plaintiff -- the widow of a man who took the drug -- $253 million, a decision that caused Merck stock to fall 8 percent that day. Texas law limits that award to $26 million, and Merck has vowed to appeal the case.
''We do have a good story to tell, and we are fully committed to telling it,'' Mr. Frazier said.
Merck this time also benefited from an evidently less sympathetic plaintiff, compared with the grieving widow in Texas. Letters that Merck lawyers showed to the jury indicated that Mr. Humeston often complained to his United States Postal Service supervisors about his workload. And the jury was told that the Postal Service was investigating Mr. Humeston as a suspected malingerer.
Christopher Seeger, Mr. Humeston's lawyer, sometimes seemed to struggle to connect with the jury. Ms. Heintz, one of only two jurors to speak to reporters after the verdict, said that Mr. Seeger and the other lawyers for Mr. Humeston ''were like barracudas.''
Mr. Seeger said afterward that the verdict was unfair and wrong but acknowledged that he shared responsibility for the loss.
''I'm going to be second-guessing myself for the way I tried this for many months,'' Mr. Seeger said afterward. ''Obviously, the jury rejected Humeston.''
Mr. Humeston -- who has essentially recovered from the heart attack, his own cardiologists say -- told reporters afterward that he still believed that Vioxx was ''a poison pill'' and that he hoped the verdict did not prevent other people from ''bringing their cases forward.''
Some legal experts said the case might discourage plaintiffs' lawyers from filing some marginal cases against Merck, especially in instances where patients took the drug for only a couple of months before suffering a heart attack, lawyers and analysts said. Still, both sides agreed that many more trials are coming.
Mr. Seeger vowed to move forward with other lawsuits he has filed, and Mr. Frazier said Merck planned to defend every lawsuit against the company. The next Vioxx trial is scheduled to begin in federal court in Houston on Nov. 28, and it is widely viewed as an even weaker case than Mr. Humeston's. Although the case in Houston involves a man who died of a heart attack, he had taken Vioxx for only a month before his death. And instead of the defense team that lost last time in Texas, Merck's defense will be led this time by Phil Beck, a prominent trial lawyer.

My favorite Dreamcast memory: playing Crazy Taxi. And seeing Sonic Adventure in action, not to mention the first time I played (it was in Japanese because the game wasn't out in America yet, but a local Babbage's had a demo station running the Japanese version).
Slightly off topic, but could you re-release some classic Saturn games as well. It would be nice to play NiGHTS into Dreams or Sonic Jam since I didn't get to play them the first time around.

Ugh, this is murder. E3 costs so much to go to, so I can never attend. Then you tease us with these, and I know I'll never win one in a contest.
I absolutely love the Dreamcast, even to this day. Lord knows how much time I've sunk into Phantasy Star Online. I've still got my original black Dreamcast shirt from 1999. Hell, I would pay for this shirt if I could get it. ;_;

Oh Sega of America, how much double moral can you take? Seems like a lot…
You have been the first who pulled the plug of the Dreamcast back in 2002, when it comes to regional comparision with Europe and Japan. You have been the first who discontinued support for this lovley mashine in the world. And what for? Peter Moore wasn't a gamer, he hasn't had the passion, you just followed our leader without question it. The same Peter Moore who didn't give a darn anyway because he went to EA afterward due to money.
And now money is the only reason you put your smile on your lips and point it with your new Dreamcast shirts in the direction of old Dreamcast fans. How pathetic can you be?

Ohh nice! I wish I could visit E3 unfortunatley I'm living too far away haha!
I'll never forget the wonderful days I spent with my Dreamcast though! I got it to my birthday as a surprise along with Sonic Adventure, and it was jawdropping.
It's good to see that some of the Dreamcast magic lives on 😉

I REALLY, REALLY want one of these shirts. I am a longtime Dreamcast gamer who still plays it today! I have always been a HUGE Sonic fan (still am!) but I was only bought on the DC when I saw Sonic running through the sand, leaving behind his footprints on an in-store demo kiosk. As a 64-owner, this was the most amazing thing I had ever seen and I HAD to get one! (and I did!) I remember Christmas day I had the system, but no VMU (I didn't know I'd need one) I played Sonic Adventure for 10 hours trying to beat it. I went to the bathroom, came back and found my four-year-old sister had turned my DC off when I was so close to beating it!
The DC was home to several other games I LOVED. I remember downloading free DLC through the web browser, playing NBA 2K1 on 56k (and getting disconnected whenever we would get a phone call grrr) and finding a game that remains an all-time favorite to this day: Skies of Arcadia. My dreamcast played in upwards of 40 states when I would take it on the road with my trucker dad and play it in the back of his semi.
I remember my Dreamcast for SEGA Swirl, MDK2, Sonic Adventure, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, NBA 2K2, Crazy Taxi, Dead or Alive 2, Jet Grind Radio, Virtua Fighter 3TB, Tennis 2K2, NBA Showtime, Tony Hawk 2, and NFL 2K1.

S-T-H wrote, "Let me be an orange swirl of awesome amongst the green swirls of Redmond!" I can't say anything better than that. I want a Dreamcast shirt, too! 😀
I wish SEGA had a merchandise store, like on CafePress, or something. I'd loooooove to buy cool stuff like that shirt and the inflatable GH101. I'd be happy, and SEGA would make more money. Everybody wins! 😛

I have fond memories of Dreamcast. The first time I saw Soul Calibur and NFL 2K, I had to have one. Sadly, Sonic Adventure was the begining of the end of good Sonic games, Good graphics, very shoody control and it never captured that Sonic feel. Sonic never belonged in 3D.
Now Crazy Taxi wasn't worth a dime. The game was short, lacked depth and just got plain boring after playing it after a couple of times.
Time after time, Sega refuses to re-enter the console market but here some 8 years later, Sega still tries to market the system and gamers that they abandoned themselves. I can agree with peter. It's pathetic. However, Peter Moore left Sega for Microsoft. He didn't get to EA until he did the same thing to XBOX 1 gamers. Did I mention that the 2 games here was probably 2 weekest quality Dreamcast games that Sega made? What's next? Chu-Chu Rocket and Sega Swirl?

Oh please, please send me one!
My favorite Dreamcast memory: picking up my preorder on 9/9/99 at EB Games, and excitedly rushing home only to be faced with the ultimate decision… try Sonic Adventure or Soul Calibur first? (Ultimately I had to choose Sonic!)

Thanks Sega!

The Dodgers' bullpen lost Brandon Morrow in the offseason and potential replacement Tom Koehler this spring, but Kenley Jansen and Josh Fields provided a little reassurance in their first Cactus League outings on Thursday.
Shortstop Corey Seager made two throws and closer Kenley Jansen 13, with the key Dodgers coming out of a Monday "B" game test saying they are healthy. Starting the game for the Dodgers was reliever Josh Fields, who has been nursing minor ailments and hasn't pitched in a Cactus League game. He threw a 15-pitch scoreless inning.

Topic: Grrr! (01/28/10)
TITLE: Bruce Strong-arm the Terrible
By Daniel Kane
Bruce Strong-arm was not so very different from most other, more famous rulers. Henry VIII, as every school book will tell you, lopped off the heads of anyone who annoyed him. Adolf Hitler has gone down in history for trying to take over the world, along with his buddy Joseph Stalin. William the Conquerer wasn't content with just France; he wanted England too. Bruce Strong-arm shared a common trait with all men who get together an army and go off conquering lands: a desire for power. It all began when he was only seven years old.
Bruce did not have a very nice childhood. His father was a mean English teacher in Green-Grove, and he was horribly strict with Bruce. Poor Bruce, even when still learning to talk, couldn't utter a single phrase without his dad jumping in and correcting some minor grammar mistake. Bruce himself always was rather short and ugly, and also unusually strong for his age. This made him look much like a bad-tempered baby ape, and the teasing that every child in school directed at him caused him to behave so. After putting up with extreme humiliation for a few years, Bruce finally snapped. He was being teased as usual by a big boy a few classes above him who made the mistake of offering a banana to the "Sweet Little Gorilla". The next thing the boy knew, he was on his back on the cold, grimy pavement, experiencing empty lungs for the first time since his birth, and Bruce was slowly mushing the banana all over his face. Thus began Bruce's rule.
Bruce, having realized his strength, then proceeded to establish his domain. He crushed any rebels as harshly as necessary, and was often seen to go so far as to snarl at his unfortunate victim. Like some wild animal he would mutter harsh curses into their ear while grinding their arm into the tarmac – his most loved form of punishment. Though many students' wounds were reported to the school head, Green-Grove was a cruel school. The teachers insisted that they were not a police force, and their job was to teach. Hence Bruce ruled unopposed. It was his domain, run by his rules, and his favorite was that ancient law that the strong survive.
And so it was that the years went by, and Bruce more or less settled down in his pleasant role of lord of the pupils. Few uprisings occur, and only when he was in a foul temper did the occasional pupil go home with a bleeding, mucky wound filled with grit. He found an odd delight pushing his victims down a muddy hill to crash into the oaken fence below. He was given the finest cafeteria food, and nobody objected when he pushed past them, unless they actually wanted to be thrown into a shallow pit littered with pebbles. Bruce was content.
But then came the time that he had to leave Green-Grove Elementary school. After all, every child must be educated, and Bruce had finished all there was to be done in Green-Grove. So, in the year 2010, he left. He prepared to make the trip to secondary school, already planning how he would set up his kingdom there. He felt completely ready for anything it could throw at him. When his first day came, however, he saw the enormous, hulking students with their leering grins and their deep gruff voices that already had top place. Straight away he realized that he would not be able to overwhelm these monoliths, and, fear gripping his heart for the first time in six years, Bruce Strong-arm shrank back into a corner and begged for his mommy.

As an analytical firm, we pay for a lot of special data that the public can't get. Sometimes, the data is of major importance relative to what is going on in the stock market.
One such piece of data has to do with what Institutional Investors are doing. We all know that they are responsible for over 50% of any given day's volume ... which is why following this investment group is so important.
So today, let me share some of that data with you today. The data we will share is the daily "Institutional Selling Action". Every night, we take the data and feed it into a trending model chart that shows us the direction and trend of the Institutional Selling behavior.
This year's July to October chart is below, and by looking at the trend changes, you can see that the NYA (New York Stock Exchange Index) moved up or down in direct correlation with Institutional Selling activities. Note that yesterday, Institutional Selling was close to starting an Inverted down trend which would correlate with to the NYA and the market moving down. (If the pink data bar moves down lower today, then the odds of a down trend will increase substantially now.)
Notes about the Inverted Institutional Selling chart:
[Note 1: The data is "inverted" so that it will directly track with the movement of the stock market. For that reason, when the inverted data trends "down" on this graph, you will notice that the numbers get larger instead of smaller.
Note 2: This data is posted every morning as part of the Multi-I model chart on our paid subscriber site. It can be found on the last chart at the bottom of Section 3.]

What are the early signs of pregnancy?
If you're really tuned into your body and aware of how it ticks, you might begin to suspect that you're pregnant within the first few days of pregnancy. However, most women don't suspect they are pregnant until they miss a period. Some don't suspect or think they are pregnant for some months after conception. All women are different and will experience individual signs and symptoms.
Even before missing a period, most pregnant women report having to go to the toilet more often. You may even have to get up during the night. This occurs after the embryo has implanted in the uterus and begins producing the pregnancy hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). This hormone triggers frequent urination. Constipation is another one of the possible early signs of pregnancy.
Fatigue or exhaustion is a very early sign of pregnancy in the first 12 weeks. Raised progesterone is one of the factors that contribute to fatigue in early pregnancy.
Morning sickness
Morning sickness or sickness and vomiting at other times of day. Despite the popular name, that queasy feeling isn't limited to mornings. Most pregnant women who experience morning sickness feel slightly nauseated at other times during the day as well. About half have vomiting, but very few have severe enough morning sickness to develop dehydration and malnutrition.
Sore, tender and larger breasts
If you're pregnant, your breasts will probably become increasingly tender to the touch or may tingle. The feeling may be similar to the way breasts feel before your period, only more so. Once your body grows accustomed to the increase in hormones, the discomfort will subside.
Emotions change
Hormonal changes in pregnancy can affect emotions, making many women feel more emotional and upset at times.
Missed period
Missing your period is one the clearest early signs of pregnancy, but it is not definitive, as stress or other factors may cause irregular periods. Also, some women who are pregnant may still have a very light period.
Pregnancy test
A typical pregnancy test can be done with a urine sample from the first day a period is missed, that's usually around two weeks after conception. Some sensitive pregnancy tests can be done before a period is missed. Pregnancy tests are free through the NHS or test kits can be bought from pharmacies. Once you know you are pregnant, see your GP. There's a lot to start planning and thinking about.

Bush oil stockpile plan could cause oil prices to rise
Michael Roston
Wednesday January 24, 2007
A component of the energy independence plan laid out by President George W. Bush in his State of the Union address last night could result in higher oil prices. According to a report today from Bloomberg News, the president's call to double the nation's Strategic Petroleum Reserve could put a new "floor" on the prevailing price in global oil markets.
President Bush again emphasized the theme of reducing America's dependence on foreign oil in this year's State of the Union address. In the course of his proposals, he made reference to the need "to further protect America against severe disruptions to our oil supply." He therefore called on "Congress to double the current capacity of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve."
But a report at Bloomberg News suggests this step could lead to a gain in the price of oil around the world. Bloomberg reporters Manash Goswami and Hector Forster write that doubling the reserve "may help to stem a six-month slide in prices as China, India and South Korea bolster their defenses against shortages as well."
They added, "The U.S. plan "helps puts a floor in the market," said Antoine Halff, head of energy research at Fimat USA Inc. in New York. "It creates competition for the same barrels. It tightens the market on top of the strategic reserve builds elsewhere such as China.""
Because winter has been mild in much of the country, oil prices have been low for the past few months.
According to the Department of Energy, the strategic petroleum reserve, or SPR, was created after the 1973-74 oil crisis. The 2005 Energy Policy Act called for increasing the SPR's storage capacity to 1 billion barrels of oil. Managed by the Department of Energy, the SPR oil is stored "in salt caverns...deep within the massive salt deposits that underlie most of the Texas and Louisiana coastline."
The system of petroleum reserves in the United States goes back to 1912 when the Naval Petroleum and Oil Shale Reserves were first established. One such reserve, at the Teapot Dome in Wyoming, was involved in a massive scandal during the administration of President Warren Harding.

He hit .299 against righties, .200 against lefties, and 11 of his 13 home runs -- in 244 at-bats -- were against righties. His .375 on-base percentage against righties should also have appeal to the Sox. He hasnt approached the 29 home runs he hit in Texas in 2004, but after being paid just $950,000 last season, he figures to deliver a good return on his price.

Last week's earthquake in northern Japan has caused production delays and work stoppages throughout the PC industry as manufacturers including Lenovo, Toshiba, and Apple may face supply shortages and price increases -- and possibly panic buying.
Some Japanese IT factories were damaged by the earthquake and subsequent tsunami, while others were shut down as a result of ensuing power outages and concerns about aftershocks -- but the impact on the industry itself is only now starting to come to light. According to a report from IHS iSuppli, some semiconductor facilities in Japan have suspended manufacturing, as any earthquake over 5 on the Richter scale causes them to shut down automatically. Aside from the devastating impact of the disaster itself, the earthquake has caused tremors among system builders and others in the distribution channel that rely on product supply from Japan.
"Unequivocally people are talking about it -- distributors, memory manufacturers, partners are all talking about it," said Steve Bohman, vice president of operations at Columbus Micro, a Columbus, Ohio-based system builder. "What I haven't seen is any literal effect. After the earthquake, I fully expected prices in the memory market to spike, but a week later, aside from a few panic buyers, people are standing pat and memory prices are soft."
Bohman said it was difficult to gauge the impact from the other side of the world. Still, he said he has heard that hard drives and optical drives in particular will see the impact of the disaster. "I fully expect to see prices go up before too long and to see shortages -- real or false -- in Flash, DRAM, hard drives and optical drives, and also LCD panels. So we shall see," he said. "I've been in the industry for 20 years and I've seen earthquakes and fires in factory and all kinds of excuses for shortages or price increases, and you just never know if it's real or imaginary. Or in the case of a natural disaster, you don't know if it will affect the industry or if the industry will take advantage of it to raise prices."
In fact, according to IHS iSuppli, several OEMs could end up panic buying from semiconductors and electronic components based on forecasts of supply disruption, as distributors experience a surge in orders from customers seeking to ensure their inventory. "I certainly expect for people to buy up in anticipation," Bohman said. "I don't see why you would think prices are going to drop. In my opinion that doesn't make any sense. They are probably at bottom for the foreseeable future so why not start buying. And that's how it starts."
According to Nick Gold, director of business development at Chesapeake Systems, a Baltimore-Md. based system builder, the earthquake could have far-reaching effects. "The crisis in Japan is going to affect MANY aspects of the global technology industry before long," Gold said. "I am certainly expecting supply issues across the board with fully-integrated systems, as well as individual components such as hard drives, RAM, etc. over the coming weeks."
Gold said he expects other suppliers outside of Japan will experience a rapid increases in demand, which will be difficult for them to meet. "Even if manufacturers are located outside of Japan, individual components for various types of systems may be sourced in Japan," he said. "And, even if this is not the case for any given product, demand pressures placed on other manufacturers who are located outside of Japan, who now need to supply more customers than they normally would because of supply problems with Japanese manufacturers, will tend to affect products across the board."

The Independent: "In the pantheon of competitive sports is there room for a universally recognised digital event?"
This person obviously doesn't realize just how poorly made most olympic games really are. They are the worst of the worst. The only decent one is Mario & Sonic.
The English would buy any olympic type games right now simply to rep their country, which is understandable, but they won't be playing any quality olympic game.
Saw a video recently of USA vs. Japan in a Street Fighter 4 tournament.
Honestly, it was laughable. USA won the first round of fights, commentaters where having sly digs at the Japanese player, crowd were chanting 'USA, USA' etc then the entire USA team got owned by the next Japanese player. Hardly a word was spoken in this time.
I persoanally loved how the USA commentators attitude changed from 'getting owned son!' to 'Street Fighter 4: Arse Edition' when losing but most will just see that as childish.
Anyway, EVO basically fills this requriement.
The problem is gaming in a professional sence is no where near popular enough and has great amount of negative stigma. I agree archery,shooting.... require more skill than physical effort and in that way are similar to gaming but gaming still has this immature side to it that makes traditioning into an olympic style thing almost impossible. I feel the whole industry would have to change to a more mature attitude before we can start thinking about this.

Persecution of Christians reveals Muslim views
Over the Christmas holidays I read that Christmas was cancelled in parts of Iraq due to relentless Christian persecution by Muslims. I felt I had to write about this and I hope you will be able to print my letter.
In 1391, Byzantine emperor Manuel II Palaiologos stated: "Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." This could not be more relevant and true than today.
Muhammad was nothing more than a conqueror and theocratic despot. His successors, continued his reign of terror and forced conversion, by hacking their way through Roman and Sassanian armies in order to seize the better part of the known world for the Caliphate. These were the very founding conditions of Islam, and the unkind contrast with the generally peaceful circumstances of other faiths like Christianity is stark.
We owe Muslims the respect due to them as possessors of the common natural rights of man –––– but we do not owe Muhammad or Islamic orthodoxy any respect for their own sake. This seems fairly clear, based on Islam's nihilistic doctrine of jihad.
I encourage all men of good will to resist the world invasion of Islam and the false prophet Muhammad.

The Albino Spider was cut from the final product of Thief: The Dark Project. It was first seen in the Thief 1 promo video and the skin textures can be found in the game files, labeled "spidera", likely meaning albino. These are modified, however, as the small yellow sewer spider uses the same textures. The other spider textures being labeled "spiderg" for green and "spiderR" for red.
Because the texture file shows a humanoid torso and a three-fingered arm, it may be assumed that the Spider Beast was previously meant to be very different from the one shown here.

The Douglas County District Attorney's Office charged a 67-year-old Lawrence man Wednesday with one count of first-degree murder in the Tuesday shooting death of his 61-year-old wife.
Lawrence police allege that Larry L. Hopkins shot Margaret Hopkins because of her ongoing health concerns, according to a statement on Wednesday by the District Attorney's Office.
Larry Hopkins, who was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of first-degree murder, appeared via video from the Douglas County Jail to be formally charged in District Court on Wednesday.
If convicted, Hopkins faces a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole for 25 years.
District Court Judge James T. George set Hopkins' bond at $150,000 and scheduled Hopkins' next appearance for Nov. 13. Hopkins was also appointed an attorney, Clinton Lee. Before the hearing was adjourned, George asked Hopkins if he had any comments regarding his bond.
"Your honor, even if on my own recognizance, I have no place to go," said Hopkins, who wore a long gray beard and eyeglasses and used a walker.
Lawrence police arrested Hopkins on Tuesday after he was brought in for an interview following a police investigation at his home earlier that morning. Police were called to a reported shooting in the 1600 block of West Second Terrace at 8:45 a.m. At the home, Margaret Hopkins was determined to have died from a gunshot wound.
The case marks the second homicide to take place in Lawrence this year. In July, the shooting death of Gary Edens, 51, was the first homicide since 2008. Brittny Marie Adams, 19, of Topeka, was charged with second-degree murder and remains in Douglas County Jail on a $100,000 bond. She is next scheduled to appear in District Court for a preliminary hearing on Dec. 18.
There have been 18 homicides in Lawrence since 2003 with none in 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009 and 2007.

1. Re: Audio & Video get out of sync when rendering. Using Elements 11.the_wine_snob Oct 20, 2013 6:53 PM (in response to BrifromBool)
Welcome to the forum.
Can you please tell us which OS version you are on?
Then, please tell us the full specs. of your Source Files (your Imported media)?
Last, your Project's Preset?
Good luck, and let us know a bit more,
2. Re: Audio & Video get out of sync when rendering. Using Elements 11.BrifromBool Oct 20, 2013 8:37 PM (in response to the_wine_snob)
Thank you for the welcome. I am a novice video editor, but learning fast. My main video projects consist of taking HD video with my phone then making MPEG movies to watch on my PC and through my XBOX, watch on my HDTV. I hope I have all the aswers you are looking for. If not, I might need more guidance on where to look for various settings.
I have tried this on two different PCs. One PC is running Windows 8. The other is running Windows 8.1
Source Files:
I took the video with my Nokia Lumia 920. It is an MP4 file. Frame width: 1280. Frame Length: 720. Frame Rate: 30 frames/second. It should be HD. The source files play nicely on both PCs with no issues.
Projects Preset: (I chose this when SETTING UP my project at the start)
There are so many choices of which I did not know which is best to choose. Under Hard Disk/Flash Memory....I think I chose Full HD 1080i 30.
* When I go into Edit -> Project Settings, it says HD 1080i, then 29.97 frames/second for Timebase.
Question? I am not sure what the Project Preset is used for? It seems I can choose dozens of different Save/Rendering types as well. I appreicate if you could explain the difference here.
When I make my video, I choose MPEG, then for the Presets, I have tried the following:
* HDTV 720p 29.97 High Quality
* HDTV 1080p 29.97 High Quality
* HD 720p 30
I didn't try any of the MPEG2 formats because they they reference the file type as being for Bluray.
I hope this helps. I'm looking for some file output that looks nice on my HD TV and PC. If I missed any important information, please let me know.
3. Re: Audio & Video get out of sync when rendering. Using Elements 11.A.T. Romano Oct 21, 2013 9:31 AM (in response to BrifromBool)
I have a few things for you to try until Hunt returns to your thread.
Some might buy into the a variable frame rate for your cell phone video as the cause of your out of sync audio in Premiere Elements 11 and suggest fixing the frame rate in Quicktime Pro. I do not find that necessary in the cases that I have looked at so far with my iPod video and iPhone video. But, for the record, does your video properties readout indicate whether you record from the cell phone with a fixed (30 frames per second) frame rate or a variable one with min and max frame rates shown?
From what you wrote, it would appear that you or the program are not setting up your project correctly. Match the source media properties with those of the project preset.
If you have 1280 x 720 @ 30 frames per second source, set up the project preset manually.
- Open new project.
- Go to File Menu/New/Project
- In the new project dialog, select NTSC/AVCHD/AVCHD Lite 720p30
- Before you exit the new project dialog, be sure to have a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on this Project".
When you are back in the Premiere Elements 11 Expert workspace, use Add Media/Files and Folders/Projects Assets from where you drag your video to the Timeline.
When you are ready to export that Timeline, please look at
MP4 - HD720p60
then go to Advanced Button/Video Tab for that preset to change the frame rate to 29.97 and other settings as soon exactly as in screenshot of the lower part of the Export Settings dialog for MP4 - HD720p60.
Leave the Bitrate settings found as is for now.
Just focus on the details under the Video Tab as shown in the screenshot.
Please let us know the outcome.
4. Re: Audio & Video get out of sync when rendering. Using Elements 11.BrifromBool Oct 31, 2013 6:53 AM (in response to A.T. Romano)
Just wanted to check in on this thread and say "THANKS" for giving me this information. I have had a busy week and now am traveling for two weeks so I won't be able to test this out till later in November. I will surely share my results on success/failure once I get a chance. Sorry for my delay in working on this.
Regarding my Frame Rate, when I take Video with my Nokia Lumia 920, it appears that Frame rate is VARIABLE, not fixed at 30/second. I will test out what is suggested above, then see if that corrects the issue.
5. Re: Audio & Video get out of sync when rendering. Using Elements 11.A.T. Romano Oct 31, 2013 6:57 AM (in response to BrifromBool)
Thanks for the update.
We will be looking forward to your results when your schedule permits.

Minister: Algerian Parliamentary Elections Scheduled for April; No Delay Ahead
Algerian Justice Minister Ahmad Oyahya said Friday that parliamentary elections would be held next April.
Oyahya, head of the National Democratic Congregation, the largest party in the ruling coalition, said at a meeting with his party's executives that there was no reason for any postponement of the elections.
According to the official Kuwaiti news agency (KUNA), Oyahya, who is known for his close contacts with the influential circles in the army, ended press speculations that the parliamentary and local elections would be delayed until President Abdelaziz Bouteflika carried out planned political "reforms."
The first parliamentary elections that paved the way for a house grouping Islamists, secularists and nationalists took place in June 1997.
The outlawed Islamic Salvation Front (FIS) won the 1991 elections but the army cancelled the results, sparking a civil war in which more than 100,000 people have lost their lives, most of them civilians.
At the economic level, Algeria has lost some $20 billion due to the fighting, according to the agency - Albawaba.com

Apple claims the iPhone 5 battery lasts longer than the iPhone 4S despite a larger display and power-hungry 4G LTE connection.
Now that the first iPhone 5 reviews are up, there are finally a good number of iPhone 5 battery life reviews to highlight how long we can expect the iPhone 5 to last.
The following iPhone 5 battery life reviews should answer the burning question, " Will the iPhone 5 battery last all day?"
Read: iPhone 5 Reviews
iPhone 5 Battery Life Claims
Apple doesn't share the rating for the iPhone 5 battery, but it's clear that the iPhone 5 battery takes up a large part of the thin and light device. Apple's battery life claims are usually close to real world use.
The iPhone 5 should last as long as the iPhone 4S for talking, and longer than the iPhone 4S when it comes to browsing the web.
- Talk time: Up to 8 hours on 3G
- Standby time: Up to 225 hours
- Internet use: Up to 8 hours on 3G
- up to 8 hours on LTE
- up to 10 hours on Wi-Fi
- Video playback: Up to 10 hours
- Audio playback: Up to 40 hours
Here's how Apple tests the iPhone 5 battery to come up with the battery life ratings.
iPhone 5 battery life is of particular note because there is no way to replace the battery when it runs down. We expect iPhone 5 battery cases, but most users will want to use the iPhone 5 without a battery pack case.
iPhone 5 battery life is also important because spare Lightning to USB cables are scarce.
iPhone 5 Battery Life Reviews
Based on the early iPhone 5 reviews, battery life looks promising, though we are looking forward to seeing more iPhone 5 units in the wild before proclaiming Apple's battery claims on the mark.
Tim Stevens at Engadget
On our standard battery rundown test, in which we loop a video with LTE and WiFi enabled and social accounts pinging at regular intervals, the iPhone 5 managed a hugely impressive 11 hours and 15 minutes. That's just 10 minutes shy of the Motorola Droid RAZR Maxx.
Jim Dalrymple at The Loop
I use my iPhone 5 to make phone calls, iMessage, text, Web browsing, email, Twitter and generally keep up-to-date with what's going on around the world. I unplugged my phone from the charger at 10:00 am, used it all day doing the things described above and then waited for it to run out of battery.
It wasn't until about 7:00 am the next morning that it finally died. I didn't watch any movies or intensive things like that, but I had Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on. Basically this was real-world usage testing for me. It was a normal day.
John Gruber at Daring Fireball
Battery life seems good, exactly on par with my 4S.
David Pogue at The New York Times
In practical terms, you encounter fewer days when the battery dies by dinnertime — a frequent occurrence with 4G phones.
Walt MossBerg at All Things D
The iPhone 5's battery lasted between 9 and 12 hours every day, in mixed use. For most people, the phone would last the day without recharging.
MG Siegler at Techcrunch
While it's hard to judge against a year-old iPhone 4S, the battery seems to be a bit better than it was a year ago (though there were some iOS issues as well). Apple claims 8 hours of 3G and LTE usage, and that seems about right.
Luke Peters at T3
In our testing, real-world battery life doesn't seem to have changed much since the iPhone 4S, which could be seen as a good thing considering the iPhone 5 is a more advanced product, but you'll still need to charge it every night to give you enough juice for the next day.
You can watch a couple of films on a flight or listen to hours and hours of music on one charge, but talking and 3G surfing take a heavier toll, and 4G connectivity could be even more of a drain.
Overall it looks like the iPhone 5 will last a full day of use for most users. Heavy users may need to plug-in, especially if they rely on 4G LTE throughout the day. For these users, an iPhone 5 Mophie Juice Pack is high on the wishlist.

Nice catch.Oh, actually, while write_buf() can technically be in a removable module,the RAM backend can't be removed once loaded.

My husband and I had the pleasure to spend the week at 'Endless Summer' with our 2 sons and their girlfriends, and my sister....I must admit I was leery to go to Florida in August, but we were pleasantly surprised at not only the beauty of Captiva but this perfect home!!! spacious, well appointed, tranquill and just steps from a beautiful beach...living in the northeast minutes away from NYC we all enjoyed this peaceful, tropical property and never once felt like we were in Florida-we were all swept away by the serenity of the island.
Never were bored, at our finger tips-bike rentals, boat rentals, scuba diving, snorkeling, swimming, paddle boarding and just plan old relaxing in the sun.
Walking distance to some colorful and fun eateries and short driving distance to many attractions.
Would recommend this property for familys of all ages. Hope to visit again in 2015!!!!
The house is very nice with great outside pool and patio with great windows and great location. The house is very well appointed and great location. Plenty of towels but glassware and plates were short. Cleaning firm needs to do a better job on the kitchen upon arrival. Would rent again. Elevator is great for elderly people.
Had my wife, three teenagers and their five friends for the week. From the moment we arrived loved it. Only complaints are the small stuff like you need to be a PHD to work the big screen TV in the living room. I hate COMCAST with a passion. DIRECTV is the way to go and for what we paid for the week house should come with HIGH DEF. Also little stuff like the air co on the bottom floor did not work and the dish washer needs to be replaced. That all being said the location was great. Short walk to beach and all the restaurants plus YOLO (all water sports) right around the corner. Kids also loved the pool and hot tub and yes the barbecue worked the one day we used it. All in all I would 100% rent this house again.
House is within 100 feet from famous Captiva restaurants, a 2-min. walk to the beach, yet the house is located on one of the quieter lanes in Captiva Village. Close to all attractions w/o being on the main road.

Volunteer Opportunities
Get involved at The Philadelphia Art Alliance. Volunteers are needed all year long to assist the staff with special events and administrative duties. Please send inquiries to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Unpaid undergraduate and graduate internships are available over the summer months and may be arranged for credit or non-credit status. Philadelphia Art Alliance interns work closely with our professional staff to gain knowledge about various aspects of gallery work such as: administration, development, education, public relations, curatorial and planning special events and community programs. Every effort is made to tailor the duties of each individual intern to coincide with their particular academic and professional goals.
Pre-K to 12th Grade
The Philadelphia Art Alliance is an approved arts provider for the Philadelphia Public Schools and welcomes teachers and their students to the museum. To support the educational work of teachers, the PAA will create teaching materials on exhibitions upon request.
Higher Education
The Philadelphia Art Alliance also collaborates several times throughout the year with college instructors to provide free tours to their students. During the course of the 2010-2011 season, over 35 tours were provided to area colleges as well as adult learning programs provided by such institutions as the Barnes Foundation.
Gallery Hours: Tuesday through Friday: 11am – 4pm
Group Size: Tours are designed for classes of up to 25 students. Larger groups may be accommodated by special arrangement prior to the visit.
Admission Fees: $3 per student unless otherwise noted. Chaperones and teachers are admitted free of charge. It is recommendd there be one chaperone for every six students in grades 3 to 6. For children grades 2 and under, additional chaperones are suggested.
Visit preparation: Educators will receive a confirmation prior to a scheduled visit. Exhibitions have pre-visit materials, which will be mailed approximately two weeks prior to the visit. The pre-visit material and the rules of conduct should be reviewd prior to the field trip. Educators find that students who understand why they are visiting the museum and know what to expect find the visit experience more rewarding.
