Assemblyman John Ceretto, R-C-I-Lewiston, today announced his support for the hotel proposed by the Hamister Group in downtown Niagara Falls. The Hamister Group has proposed building a $25 million hotel, $22 million of which would be financed by private investment. The project would create jobs through its construction and upon its completion. It stands to improve the City of Niagara Falls' tax base, promote tourism and provide an influx of cash.
"I hope to see the Hamister Group's plan for a hotel in downtown Niagara Falls approved as quickly as possible," Ceretto said. "A hotel in downtown Niagara Falls will create jobs and promote tourism in an area that desperately needs economic development.
"The land proposed to be used for this project is currently a parking lot that brings little to no economic benefits to the people of Niagara Falls. We should use this land to put people to work and take another step toward improving the economic conditions in this community."
An agreement on the Hamister Group's plan is currently being held up by disagreements over details of the plan, such as the price of the land acquisition. Ceretto said the economic benefits of the proposal, however, are great enough that both sides should be able to come to an agreement that benefits the people of Niagara Falls.
"Though there are disagreements on the way to move forward with this project, everyone involved wants to see economic development and job creation in Niagara Falls," he said. "From that starting point, hopefully, all sides can see past their differences so we can get this project going. The people of Niagara Falls need to see this get approved."

ajay_m needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 36 designs submitted by 11 freelance designers.
I Spy a Bird
We are building a simple to use community website for amateur bird watchers to share their photos and experiences. The website will act as a place to keep a personal record of the birds you have seen, and provide a place to meet and chat to like minded people.
Our members are the sort of bird watchers that take pictures of birds in the garden, and not the sort who trek half way across the country to spot a bird.
Our audience is older (50+). Members are as much looking for like minded people as they are spotting birds.
A lot of our audience aren't likely to be be overly familiar with computers and the internet and may be nervous about trying things for themselves.
The winning designer will have designed the 1 page to be friendly, welcoming, relaxing and simple and will have incorporated all the elements in the attached image.
The colour scheme should match, or at least complement our logo (attached) which was designed by 99designs member Aticca.
Please assume our audience has relatively poor eyesight.
We are using the 960 grids 12 column layout (http://960.gs/). The main area (left) occupies 8 columns(640px) and the right is 4 columns (320px). The top of the right hand column will be occupied by a 300x250px advert.
We would like 1 full page showing an uploaded photo. Please see the attached file for a guide. The page elements in the image are to illustrate what should be present, feel free to move and resize them within the 2 column constraints. Please ensure the design includes a selected tab and both visited and un-visited links. Please also indicate what the header looks like when you are logged in, and not logged in.
The user-specific navigation (present on all pages) is similar to that here on 99 designs (e.g. prompt to join/login if not signed in, list of possible actions if signed in). This navigation will probably be in the header and can be done with a drop down menu if needed.
We want a layered psd file. No coding required.

I bought this tapestry for my mother who is in the final stages of lung caner. I wanted to brighten her room and bring her some cheer. I paid extra to have it shipped Next Day Air. We received the package 5 days after ordering. However, I was very diappointed at the taperstry when I opened it. It is very blurry and distorted. The fabric is OKAY somewhat thin, but not terrible. I have ordered many tapestries from another company recently as Christmas gifts for 1/2 the price that are way better quality and very clear and vibrant. I will not order again from Fine Art America....
Spring is the most gentle and mysterious season. All seemed so bleak and barren...then quite suddenly the world has a soft, pastel feel that is most welcome after a brutal winter. Iris versicolor is a species native to North America where it is common in sedge meadows, marshes, and along streambanks and shores. The flower get its name Versicolor from the Greek word for rainbow.
I am a retired professor at a college in Toronto and taught critical thinking and communications. In the past I also taught literature, creative thinking and problem solving. I've also had the opportunity to teach about and lead tours to a variety of world destinations including backpacking through the Canadian Rockies, traveling above the Arctic Circle in Norway, into the Sahara in Morocco, and throughout Southeast Asia with a special focus on Thailand. It was my four tours to India that formed me most profoundly, both as a person and as a photographer. It is a magic land of extremes in every sense of the word. More recently I had the opportunity to expand my world view with travel to the Peruvian Andes, the back roads of West...
Our return policy is very simple:
If you're not happy with a purchase that you made on FineArtAmerica.com, for any reason, you can return it to us within 30 days of the order date. As soon as it arrives, we'll issue a full refund for the entire purchase price. Please note - Fine Art America does not reimburse the outgoing or return shipping charges unless the return is due to a defect in quality.
Fine Art America sells thousands of pieces of artwork each month - all with a 100% money-back guarantee. We take great pride in the fact that hundreds of thousands of artists have chosen Fine Art America to fulfill their orders, and we look forward to helping you select your next piece!
All tapestries ship from our production facility within 1 - 2 business days of your order.

By ELAINE KURTENBACHTOKYO (AP) -- Japan's trade deficit rose to a record $83.4 billion in the last fiscal year, as exports faltered despite the weakening yen and costs for imported gas and crude oil rose. Customs figures released Thursday also showed a deficit in March for the ninth month in a row, of 362.4 billion yen ($3.7 billion), down from February's gap of 779.5 billion yen. Exports fell 2.1% in the April-March fiscal year from the year before, to 63.9 trillion yen ($652.4 billion) while imports rose 3.4% to 72.1 trillion yen ($735.8 billion). The deficit of 8.17 trillion yen ($83.4 billion) was up 84% from the previous fiscal year's 4.4 trillion yen ($45.1) shortfall. A sharp depreciation in Japan's currency since late 2012 has failed to fully offset weak demand for Japan's exports as shipments to China have suffered from a flare-up in tensions over a territorial dispute. Meanwhile, the weaker yen means higher costs for rising imports of natural gas, which is priced in dollar terms, to help compensate for the loss of nuclear power generation capacity after most atomic power plants remain closed after the 2011 disaster at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant in northeastern Japan. Japan's exports to China fell 9.1% in fiscal 2012, while its exports to the rest of Asia fell almost 42%, the figures show. Shipments to the European Union dropped 14%, while imports rose 4.5%. Exports to the United States, one of the few growth areas, rose 10 percent to 11.4 trillion yen ($116.3 billion), while imports also rose, 1.5%, to 6.1 trillion yen ($62.3 billion), boosting Japan's trade surplus by nearly 23% to 5.3 trillion yen ($54.1 billion). Japan's worldwide exports of cars and other vehicles rose 7.2 percent from the year before, but exports of machinery and electrical machinery fell. Imports of foodstuffs were flat. Costs for imports of fuel, which accounts for over a third of Japan's total imports, rose 6.6 percent. That included a 15% jump in the value of imports of liquefied natural gas and 5.3% for crude oil.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has pushed for a decline in the yen's value versus other major currencies to help Japanese export manufacturers regain some of their cost competitiveness, though Japan's long-time strategy of relying on exports to drive growth appears to have lost its potency. So far, the trade balance has gone increasingly into deficit as import costs have risen, though the inflows of earnings from the massive overseas investments of Japanese corporations have ensured that Japan's current account remains positive.

Maybe it's just me but I fail to see what's so "hilarious" about that.
I think the Ice Bowl is a cool idea and would've gotten (or tried to get) tickets if the whole trip, lodging & game was financially viable for me (unfortunately, at the moment, it's not). I guess I just don't get the whole, "put down the NHL every chance possible" thing.
Let me explain my position. Of all the cities you could hold this event, why Buffalo? Yes, you're almost assured of a cold day in a great hockey town, but the chance of a snowstorm washing out the whole thing is remarkably high compared to other cities. It just reeks to me of more foolish management by the NHL (in addition to the date of the game when people will either be too drunk or too engrossed in CFB to pay attention to the game).
I would find it hilarious that the NHL would look bad because it's so predictable. I put the odds at 10-1 that a snowstorm wipes this thing out (for the record, I hope it goes off without a hitch and is a smashing success) just because the NHL is luckless and poorly run. I love watching the NHL look foolish because it's the thing that stands in the way of its own game, that's all.
This is so wildy contradictory that I don't even know how to respond.
I'm no fan of the way the NHL runs things but I don't sit around hoping they fall flat on their faces at every opportunity.

I think at this point its safe to say Toriko has surpassed One Piece in sheer magnitude and scale of things.
Oda played around with size alot, but even Oz is tiny compared to the monsters here.
And the power levels are going exponential, everyone from now on are walking WMDs.

Last I recall, we still didn't get the turtle's capture level, so we still don't know for sure which "limb" is the strongest. And I kind of doubt that they'll have the easiest of times taking out monsters that can cause apocalyptic levels of destruction.
In scale and magnitude sure, but as much as I love it I also admit that it's a little thin on the story side of things (or to be more precise, character-development wise). I'm totally legit serious when I say that I'm looking forward to a full, detailed flashback of the 4 kings' past just as much as the upcoming epic battles against those planet-crashing beasts from the gourmet world.....

If Toriko's universe is the parallel world of us Earth then I wanna teleported and get to start live in here as soon as possible. Or wait. This series like a heaven. Only you can find that sort of gourment tastes in heaven. Sometimes I wanna taste those unique foods so much that my tears starts to shed its own, without my consent. I don't care if there are gourment cell which enables you turn into a super human. But even normal humans can able to taste such a delicacies. I just can't think what kind of new delicacies we are about to see once our Kinds enter the Gourment World. Things will be fun from here on.

But it wouldn't be surprise if Coco got the highest level, as in the most dangerous one because of the poison.
The rest of 3 wouldn't be able to handle Coco's opponent at all. Wouldn't make sense.
Well, not the easiest, but they will still win easily as in are still fresh enough to fight the Main Body and even the one controlling it maybe.
Apocalyptic levels maybe for the inhabited human world , which is actually smally compared to the whole Earth of Toriko Universe.
Otherwise the real beasts in the Gourmet World would have already destroyed the Earth.

You know, upon giving it some more thought, I think this is one of those times where the series' super-speedy pacing actually works AGAINST it. Like, even if they're just the "limbs" of an even greater monster, the 4 beasts are still our first real introduction to Gourmet World-level monsters. So I'd kind of think that the battles against the limbs alone would last a weeeee bit longer than 3 chapters. I'm not saying that it should be dragged out to 50 chapters or something, but I just figure that maybe each individual fight could have taken their time and at least had 2-3 chapters of focus to make them more interesting. Heck, part of the reason why I loved the Ice Hell arc was that the fights actually took their time (and mind you, most of these fights were focused on side characters who WEREN'T one of the Four Heavenly Kings).
So tl;dr, while dragging out fights may not be the best option, rushing them isn't really the best decision, either. So here's to hoping that the upcoming battles against the main body+mastermind will actually have a more reasonable pace than the limbs did.....

I agree it would have been better to draw it out over a few more chapters, they probably kept it short to emphasize the growth from learning Food Honor (and that Zebra's OP), but I'd have liked to see the Four Beasts put a bit more into the fights.

To put it bluntly: the 4 beasts just served to showcase how strong the kings got, as well as their new improved movements.
Now, with the big foe and the mastermind in the shadows, is where the real big battle begins.

^The fact that the beast limbs were beaten so quickly despite all the buildup they had is EXACTLY the problem I have, though. I mean, these are monsters that were hyped up as being more than capable of driving mankind into extinction. We just had a whole chapter where they instantly destroyed a bunch of the past locations that Toriko and co. visited during their adventures, and proved how useless the human world's military might was against them. So is it really asking so much for them to actually give the 4 kings a proper challenge, even if they're not the "true" bosses of this arc? At least Shima could have made it so that they had to be beaten in a specific pattern, like with the sphinx in the Gourmet Pyramid.....
And before anyone brings up the Food Honor training again, while I do agree that it's expected that the training would provide all the kings with a huge-power-up, that still doesn't necessarily mean that they should be able to instantly curbstomp their first new enemies (that monster Toriko beat at Chin's temple was acceptable since that WAS just a random monster). Heck, you can even look back at old-school manga like Dragonball and Kinnikuman where the heroes still had a rough time against their enemies despite having emerged fresh from training....

This chapter was meant to look cool, and it worked. I fail to see the problem.
(But yes, this chapter really is just some lame excuse to show off just how much stronger they've become all of a sudden. It's plot convenience, a staple of the genre since the beginning of time. So I'd rather just sit back and enjoy what I'm given.)

History of the British Library
The British Library is, as national libraries go, relatively young. Its roots lie in the report of the National Libraries Committee under the Chairmanship of the late Lord Dainton issued in 1969. This was followed in 1971 by a White Paper recommending the setting up of a national library for the UK ('the British Library').
In 1972 The British Library Act was passed by Parliament, bringing the Library into operation with effect from 1 July 1973.
Under the Act the following institutions were administratively combined to form the British Library: the library departments of the British Museum (which included the National Reference Library of Science and Invention), the National Central Library, and the National Lending Library for Science and Technology (the centre for interlibrary lending, located at Boston Spa in Yorkshire). In 1974 the British National Bibliography and the Office for Scientific and Technical Information joined the UK's new national library.
Two additional institutions subsequently became part of the Library increasing the breadth of its collections: the India Office Library and Records (1982) and the British Institute of Recorded Sound (1983).
Constituent parts
Library of the British Museum
To the library community and the public at large, the best known component of the new national library consisted of the library departments of the British Museum. The Museum's Department of Printed Books was founded in 1753, the year of the foundation of the Museum itself. Over the intervening two hundred years, the library of the British Museum had grown into one of the largest in the world, sustained by its privilege of legal deposit whereby it was entitled to a copy of most items printed in the United Kingdom - not only books and periodicals, but newspapers, maps and printed music. In addition, the Museum's comprehensive holdings of non-legal deposit items had reportedly earned it the accolade from Lenin of possessing (in the 1900s) a more comprehensive collection of Russian books than libraries in Moscow and St Petersburg.
Lenin was one of those privileged to use the Museum's spectacular domed reading room. Designed in the 1850s at the instigation of Sir Anthony Panizzi, then Chief Librarian, the reading room and surrounding bookstacks were constructed in the courtyard of the British Museum providing its library with impressive premises in the heart of what was already an overcrowded building. The Reading Room had been thrown open to all for a short period at the time of its opening in May 1857, thereafter admission was by pass only, giving access to its collections an aura of selectivity and exclusiveness. In addition to Lenin (who used the pseudonym Jacob Richter), the roll call of those holding reader passes included Karl Marx, Charles Dickens, George Bernard Shaw and Virginia Woolf.
Patent Office Library (from 1962 National Library of Science and Invention)
Another constituent part of the British Library was the library of the Patent Office. Its origins lay in the Patent Law Amendment Act of 1851 which required "true copies of all specifications to be open to the inspection of the public at the office of the commissioners", the Patent Office library itself opened in 1855. For the remainder of the nineteenth century this was housed in cramped accommodation and it was not until 1902 that purpose built premises were opened in Southampton Buildings off Chancery Lane - an impressive 'Galleria' style structure by the architect Sir John Taylor. As with the Museum's library, despite new premises, the Patent Office collections soon suffered severe shortage of space.
The Second World War highlighted the need for a comprehensive scientific and technological network in the UK, specifically for a national library of science and technology. In the late 1940s and 50s there was considerable debate among the Scientific Community whether the collections of the libraries of the British Museum or the Patent Office should serve as the nucleus of this: the position was resolved in 1959 when a Working Party on the issue recommended that the proposed library should be based on the collections of both libraries and put under the control of the Museum Trustees. The National Reference Library of Science and Invention (as it was called) was set up in 1962, administratively as part of the British Museum library.
National Central Library
The National Central Library was founded in 1916 as the Central Library for Students. It was financed out of grants from the Carnegie United Kingdom Trust, and its primary purpose was to lend books to adult class students who had no other sources for borrowing. In 1927 the Kenyon Committee on Public Libraries envisaged the library developing as the central clearing-house of an inter-library network embracing all the nation's resources, and it suggested that this development should take place under the aegis of the British Museum. However, the Royal Commission on National Museums and Galleries subsequently recommended that the Library should have independent status.
These several recommendations led in 1931 to the Library's incorporation of the Royal Charter as the National Central Library, which was to be the official clearing-house for inter-library lending. It was to provide a bibliographic service as well as continuing its original role in servicing adult classes.
In 1966 the NCL moved to a new building in Store Street near the British Museum Library.
National Lending Library for Science and Technology
The third major component of the British Library consisted of the National Central Library or NCL which began operation in 1916 in London and the National Lending Library for Science and Technology (NLLST), in service since 1961 at Boston Spa in Yorkshire. These were amalgamated in 1973 as the British Library Lending Division (BLLD).
The function of the Lending Division was to support the library systems of the UK by providing a loan and photocopy service to other libraries throughout the country.
The NLLST had a stock specialising in science and technology, containing 25,000 monographs and subscriptions to 1,200 serials; its staff numbered 120. Around 600 tons of the NCL stock, which specialised in humanities and social sciences, was transferred to Yorkshire during the Library's first year of formation. The semi-rural site at Boston Spa occupies around 60 acres of an ex-munitions factory and is well served by road links for easy distribution.
During the 1970s the range of services was expanded and made available to international customers and use of technology became a more integral part of the service. The use of Automated Requesting grew by about 40% in this time and the Lending Division often acted in collaboration with academic and scientific partners in early days of exploring the future of fax transmission and satellite communications.
In 1985, the title was changed to the British Library Document Supply Centre to reflect the changing emphasis of document supply in which a greater proportion of requests were for copies of articles rather than loans. The stock has grown over the years and now contains over 260,000 journal titles, over 3 million books, almost 500,000 conference proceedings and almost 5 million reports, mostly of a scientific nature.
Current business from document supply totals about 4,000,000 requests per year from 20,000 customers worldwide. In 2001 the 100 millionth request was received. Services are now provided not just to the traditional customer base of UK and international librarians and information professionals, but also to commercial and business users and individual researchers. Use of the Web has provided direct access to our collection information and supply services, and location is no longer an issue for distribution, as document supply moves increasingly to electronic delivery.
Other constituent organisations
Two institutions became part of the British Library in 1974: the British National Bibliography (BNB) and the Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI).
Starting in 1950, BNB had been a run as a commercial company and its functions had been to produce and publish a weekly listing of all British publications and to develop a computer based system for storing and handling bibliographic information for the use of libraries and the book trade. OSTI was transferred from the Department of Education and Science to become the Library's Research and Development Department (in 1999 the functions of this were transferred from the British Library to the Library and Information Commission, now the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council.
In 1982 the India Office Library and Records were transferred to the British Library from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office: these contained the entire archives of British India from the foundation of the East India Company in 1600 to independence. The following year (1983) the Library took over the British Institute of Recorded Sound, a unique institution which specialised in collecting sound recordings. Subsequently renamed the Sound Archive, this is now one of the largest sound archives in the world.
The British Library at St Pancras
The 1971 White Paper recognised that the constituent bodies of the proposed British Library (principally the British Museum Library) were seriously short of space and that rehousing the collections was a priority. However, legislation setting up the British Library made no reference to this nor to the geographical location of the new institution.
Shortage of storage space for the collections was not new. As early as the 1910s it was clear that the Museum's library was suffering from a lack of space as the ceaseless intake of books, periodicals and other materials continued without interruption. (By this time newspapers had been transferred from Bloomsbury to premises originally outside London, now the British Library Newspapers at Colindale. The Museum building and collections sustained a number of direct hits by German bombers in the early 1940s which caused some of the original bookstacks to be rebuilt after 1945. By now lack of space was a major problem, and solution to this - leasing storage space in the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich in the early 1960s - was a short-term expedient. In the 1960s the Museum considered extending its library premises in Bloomsbury, abandoned in 1967.
The initial plan at the time of the Library's formation was that lending activities would be concentrated at Boston Spa, and reference, research, and bibliographic services would be united and rehoused in a second complex, adjacent to the British Museum in London. The Library's first annual report for 1973-74 stated "A new building on the Bloomsbury site is the British Library's most urgent need".
Colin St John Wilson, an architect who had previously worked on the 1960s scheme for extending the library of the British Museum, produced a plan for a new building adjacent to the Museum. However, in 1974, in response to local opposition to a building of that size being constructed in an historic area of central London, the Government abandoned the idea of housing the Library in Bloomsbury. The nearest vacant site to the environs of the Museum (where much of the Library's large collection of books and other material was kept) capable of housing so many items, staff and services was a derelict goods yard immediately to the west of St Pancras station.
The history of the Library's new building is described in The British Library and the St Pancras Building by Sir Anthony Kenny, Chairman of the British Library Board, 1993-1996. An outline follows:
In December 1974 the Library's Board agreed to examine with the Government the feasibility of siting a building on this site fronting on to Euston Road; the following year the Government paid £6 million for this to be the site of the new British Library.
By the end of 1977 an elaborate scheme had been prepared by Colin St John Wilson for the Library's new home.
The site was bounded to the south by Euston Road, the east by Midland Road, the north by Brill Place and Ossulston Street to the west. The shape of the site was angular which the architect emphasised in the public areas linking the two wings containing reading areas. The plan of the building resembled something akin to an inverted letter A, in technical terms a rhomboid, being shortest to the south (Euston Road) with sides tapering outward towards the longer end approaching Brill Place in the direction of Camden Town.
At the southern apex on Euston Road, the reader would cross an open Piazza to enter public areas including an exhibition hall, and find on the eastern side a block of open-access science Reading Rooms with rooms for lectures and seminars, and on the western side a block of closed-access humanities and rare books rooms. Books were to be stored underneath the building in a temperature controlled environment. A catalogue hall, subsequently changed to the Kings Library (Library of King George III), and public facilities including restaurants were to occupy the cross-piece of the A. The Library hoped that the completed building would enable it to unite all its London reference collections under one roof and would provide room for future growth of the collections.
As might be expected of such a large construction project, the British Library building became the victim of delays and rising costs. In 1988 the Conservative government then in power indicated that it would provide enough funding for a building approximately two thirds the size of the original plan.
The British Library was formally opened by HM The Queen in June 1998. Since then it has become firmly established as a major addition to London's library, intellectual and cultural scene.
The website
The Library's first website was not actually a 'Web' site at all. It was launched in July 1994 as a 'Gopher', delivering plain-text files accessed by selecting topics from menus or via a keyword index. It transferred to the web in 1995 at http://www.portico.bl.uk and then as http://www.bl.uk
The website adopted the use of frames when these became popular in the late 1990s. They were abandoned when a full redesign of the site, with improved navigation and accessibility, was completed in 2001. The average number of page requests per day trebled between 1998 and 2004.

Today's best: Amazing eye operation
We were fascinated by a story in today's Post about an 82-year-old woman who got a pea-sized telescopic device planted in her eye in an operation at Sky Ridge Medical Center in Lone Tree.
Doris Ekblad-Olson suffers from a severe form of macular degeneration and the implanted device could improve her failing vision.
It's as astonishing advance in medical science, and we hope it significantly restores the eyesight of the retired teacher.

It should be no secret to anyone regularly reading this blog that I'm mostly focused on the quarterback.
I care how the current quarterback is doing. I want to know how the college quarterbacks are doing. I want to know who the next quarterback is going to be. And all this, mostly because I know the past quarterbacks have simply killed the Dolphins and you and, most importantly, me.
So quarterbacks, quarterback, quarterbacks!
For the time being, I have to applaud Matt Moore. He is playing relatively well of late and overall through five starts, he's shown himself pretty much the equal of what Chad Henne was before he got injured.
The statistics speak for themselves. Moore has 4 TDs and 5 INTs with a 62.9 completion percentage, a 78.9 quarterback rating and 1,159 yard to his credit. In four starts, Henne had 4 TDs and 4 INTs, a 57.1 completion mark, a 79 QB rating and 868 passing yards.
Relatively equal.
The thing is they aren't supposed to be equal. Henne was supposed to be the better player. It shows us that if Moore continues on his current trajectory, he might come closer to assuring himself a role on the team next year whereas Henne is not likely to have a role on the 2012 Dolphins.
As to the quarterbacks that will have a role ont he team in the future, let's talk college QBs for a sec. On Thursday, my radio show, Armando and the Amigo on 640-AM in South Florida and streaming live video here at The Miami Herald website hosted a segment with Bucky Brooks. Brooks is the talent analyst for the NFL Network and NFL.com.
I asked him about the incoming QB class of talent:
"This could be a pretty good class," he said. "I've been told by scouts that as many as eight guys could carry a second-round or higher grade. At the top of the board you have Andrew Luck who will likely go as the No. 1 pick. After that you have some intriguing possibilities. You have Landry Jones at Oklahoma, Matt Barkley at Southern Cal, Robert Griffin III at Baylor, this guy Ryan Tannehill down at Texas A&M. Those are some of your top guys."
As the Dolphins aren't getting Andrew Luck from all indications, we concentrated on folks other than the Stanford quarterback. I asked Brooks his opinion of Barkley:
"The big thing about Matthew Barkley is he plays in a pro style system that is similar to what most teams run in the NFL," Brooks said. "When you look at him on tape, he takes a lot of snaps from under center. He executes some form of a West Coast offense at Southern Cal. He has great instincts and intangibles. His awareness is on point. The one thing that people talk about is he doesn't have elite arm strength. When you think about the Matthew Staffords of the world, the Cam Newtons of the world, his arm strength is not necessarily in that class. However, he can make all the throws. He has the ability to come in and be a productive player. So he's one of the guys that is definitely sitting at the top of the board."
How about Robert Griffin III out of Baylor?
"Outstanding player. Outstanding prospect," Brooks said. "When you think of Robert Griffin, you have to think of someone with the athleticism of Michael Vick and also with the pocket presence of any of your top quarterbacks, whether it be Aaron Rodgers or whoever. This is a guy who can really do it all and he may break the mold of the spread quarterback myth when it comes to it. He's very efficient, very effective. He can make all the throws. he can spin it. He can throw it deep down the field. He can really put it in tight windows. Even though some of his production would be inflated by the nature of the Baylor offense because they're throwing at will, he's done a great job of making all of the throws. You can see all of the throws on tape. In fact, when I talked to a scout who just recently went through there, he said he hasn't seen an athlete like him that can do the things he does also as a passer. He is somebody who probably has not gotten enough of the attention leading up and through the season. But if he does come out, he'll get a lot of attention. He'll be a fast riser up draft boards across the league because he is so talented and so versatile."
I like Brandon Weeden so, of course, I asked about him. Yes, I know he's 28 and will be 29 next NFL season, which would be his rookie season.
"Anytime you're dealing with an older player there's a concern," Brooks said. "The thing that helps him is he plays the quarterback position and we've seen quarterbacks play up into their 40s and play well. The thing that helps him is the maturity should allow him to get on the field faster because he's been through a lot of experiences. He doesn't have to go through some of the things young quarterbacks go through in terms of having to get used to the lifestyle. I think he has a bigtime arm. He's very productive. There are things in his game you'd like to see corrected. He does take chances. He does throw the ball into tight coverage sometimes. But in terms of being able to spin it and having the arm strength and doing all those things that you look for, he grades out well on all those things."
Does Brooks think Weeden will be among those picked in the top two rounds?
"I think so. I see him as a top 64 pick ... His talent stands out on tape."

UN Human Rights Council Duplicity
By Stephen Lendman
A previous article
said the following:
On May 5, Reutersheadlined "UN has testimony that Syrian rebels used sarin gas:
Geneva-based "UN human rights investigators have gathered testimony
from casualties of Syria's civil war and medical staff indicating that
rebel forces have used the nerve agent sarin, one of the lead investigators
said on Sunday."
"The United Nations independent commission of inquiry on Syria
has not yet seen evidence of government forces having used chemical
On May 6, the UN News Centre headlined "Syria: UN human rights Inquiry has 'no conclusive
findings' on use of chemical weapons."
The International Commission
of Inquiry on Syria (COI) issued a statement saying:
It "wishes to clarify that it has not reached conclusive findings
as to the use of chemical weapons in Syria by any parties to the conflict."
"As a result, the Commission is not in a position to further
comment on the allegations at this time."
"The Chair of the Commission of Inquiry, Paulo Sergio Pinheiro,
reminds all parties to the conflict that the use of chemical weapons
is prohibited in all circumstances under customary international humanitarian
"In line with its mandate, the Commission is currently investigating
all allegations of violations of international law in the Syrian Arab
Republic and will issue its findings to the Human Rights Council (HRC)
on 3 June 2013, as mandated by resolution 22/24."
In other words, clear evidence that Washington-backed insurgents used
sarin and perhaps other chemical weapons no longer matters. HRC's COI
about-faced. Credible testimonies are now inconclusive.
Western pressure forced the retraction. COI's had no credibility since
inception. Neither does HRC. More on that below.
On August 22, 2011, HRC resolution S-17/1 established the COI. It's
mandated to investigate all alleged human rights violations in Syria
since March 2011.
"The Commission was also tasked to establish the facts and circumstances
that may amount to such violations and of the crimes perpetrated and,
where possible, to identify those responsible with a view of ensuring
that perpetrators of violations, including those that may constitute
crimes against humanity, are held accountable."
On September 28, 2012, the Human Rights Council (HRC) "adopted
six resolutions in which it extended" the COI.
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay is the organization's
chief human rights official. She works closely with the Human Rights
Council. She long ago fell from grace.
She's an imperial tool. She suppresses truth. She ignores Western
and Israeli human rights abuses. She's in lockstep with Washington's
war on Syria. So is Paulo Sergio Pinheiro. More on him below.
Pillay's a former South African High Court judge. She also served
on the International Tribunal for Rwanda (ICRT). From 1999 - 2003, she
served as president.
ICRT lacked credibility. It served imperial interests. It pointed
fingers the wrong way. Guilty parties were absolved. Victims were prosecuted.
While president, Pillay bore full responsibility.
She serves Washington's imperial agenda. She did so on the International
Criminal Court. She served from 2003 - 2008.
ICC targets victims Washington and other Western powers want charged
with crimes of war, against humanity and genocide. Responsible major
powers are absolved. Victims are guilty by accusation.
Pillay went along. She advanced her career by doing so. She's doing
it again now. She's waging war on Syria. She targets victims. Guilty
parties are absolved.
She wrongfully blames Assad for "massive scale" killing.
Doing so turns truth on its head. Earlier she asked "Where is the
international community? Why aren't (world leaders) acting to stop this
She favors intervention to do so. She's complicit with Washington's
longstanding plan to ravage and destroy another country.
So is Pinheiro. In September 2011, he was appointed COI chairman.
His reports lack credibility. They suppress truth. They show contempt
for justice. They bear testimony to his pro-Western bias.
He repeatedly blames Assad for insurgent crimes. His mandate is facilitating
Washington's longstanding plan to oust him.
On May 6, the Washington Post headlined "US skeptical on reported use of chemical weapons
by Syrian rebels," saying:
They "had seen no evidence to confirm the reports."
"The Obama administration has said it believes the Syrian government
likely used the nerve agent sarin in recent months and has supported
a UN investigation into the use of chemical agents in Syria, where the
government of President Bashar al-Assad has alleged the illicit weapons
were used by the opposition."
During his May 6 press briefing, White House press secretary Jay Carney said:
"We are highly skeptical of suggestions that the opposition could
have or did use chemical weapons."
"We find it highly likely that any chemical weapon use that has
taken place in Syria was done by the Assad regime. And that remains
our position."
"The fact of the matter is the terrible situation in Syria is
the fault and responsibility of Bashar al-Assad."
"He has murdered tens of thousands of his own people. He has
acted with impunity like a tyrant to hold on to power."
"And it is the rightful demand of the Syrian people that they
be rid of this tyrant and that they have a say in their future."
"And we have worked with international partners as well as the
Syrian opposition to help bring about that opportunity for the Syrian
Asked about Israel's weekend bombings, he said:
"I'm not going to comment on any actions the Israelis may have
taken. What I can tell you is that we are in close coordination as a
matter of course with the Israelis, and continue to be."
"But I'm not going to comment specifically on actions that the
Israelis may or may not have taken. I would certainly refer those questions
to the Israeli government."
Asked what the administration plans to do next, he added:
"Well, you heard the President address this several times last
week. It is essential that we continue to gather evidence, that we work
with our partners as well as the opposition in the accumulation of evidence
about the use of chemical weapons."
"But we are not waiting for United Nations action alone."
"We are working through other means to try to build on the evidence
that we already have of chemical weapons use, to assert in a concrete
and firm way the chain of custody, when chemical weapons were used,
by whom, and the full consequences of that use."
"It is by definition a game-changer (if) chemical weapons (were)
used. (T)he president made clear (it's) a red lineâ¤|.(If) crossed
(he said) he would take appropriate action."
On May 6, Fairness & Accuracy
in Reporting (FAIR) said:
"US suggestions that the Syrian government could have used chemical
weapons have been treated as fact by some media outlets, and are helping
to fuel the case for greater US military involvement."
Those outlets include US broadcast and cable channels, as well as
major publications. Former New York Times executive editor Bill Keller warned:
"Whatever we decide, getting Syria right starts with getting
over Iraq." In other words, he claims, Syria won't become a similar
catastrophe. It's well along toward one now.
Keller promoted war on Iraq. He supported it once begun. He's urging
Obama to wage war on Syria.
He and other Times editors back Washington's imperial agenda. Rule
of law principles and unconscionable carnage don't matter.
FAIR commented on the mindset of many so-called pundits. "(O)nce
again (they're) rallying in support of US military action based on sketchy
reports about weapons of mass destruction."
On May 6, Wall Street Journal editors marched in lockstep. They headlined "The Non-Intervention
War. The US failure to lead on Syria has resulted in a wider regional
It "threatens toâ¤|.damage US interests from the Levant to
the Persian Gulf and perhaps even reach the homeland."
Journal editors urge forceful US intervention. They favor "imposing
a no-fly zone and air strikes against Assad's forces."
They don't "rule out the use of American and other ground troops
to secure the chemical weapons."
Invading Syria means replicating Washington's war on Iraq. "(T)he
most important strategic goal continues to be to defeat Iran,"
Journal editors stress.
On the one hand, they blame Obama for creating a "wider regional
conflict." At the same time, they urge one.
On May 6, Mossad-connected DEBKAfile (DF) headlined "IDF on war alert. Iran-Syrian-Hizballah war
of attrition threatened. US set to act on Syria."
Israel's weekend airstrikes "appear to be part of a tactical
plan put together by the US, Israel, and two Sunni powers, Turkey and
Qatar, to break up the Tehran-Damascus-Beirut radical bloc and eventually
force Iran to give up its nuclear bomb aspirations."
"Washington is meanwhile expected to follow up on the Israeli
operation in Syria by the end of May, early June, with operations ranging
from US arms supplies to the Syrian rebels to demolishing Syrias
air force facilities and missile sites by US air strikes from Turkey,
Europe and Israel."
"Barak Obama used this tactic to overthrow Muammar Qaddafi in
Libya two years ago."
"Since the Syrian rebels are being systematically ground down
and falling apart under the crushing weight of the Syrian army backed
by Iranian and Hizballah troops and Moscow, feeding the rebels more
weapons may no longer avail."
"So this would be the less probable of the two options."
On Sunday, Israel initiated its "highest level of war alert."
Who'll make the next move, asked DF.
Michel Chossudovsky discussed "The Syria Chemical Weapons
Saga," saying:
"(T)he Pentagon not only provided chemical weapons to Al Nusra,
an affiliated Al Qaeda terrorist organization, but also provided training
to the rebels in the use of these weapons."
"And once these Al Qaeda rebels had been supplied and trained
in the use of WMDs by military contractors hired by the Pentagon, the
Syrian government would then be held responsible for using the WMDs
against the Syrian people."
"This in turn would provide a justification for a humanitarian
R2P intervention to 'protect' and come to the rescue of the Syrian people."
"Believe it or not: that is the justification for waging a 'humanitarian
war' on Syria."
What goes around, comes around. History repeats. Washington wants
Assad ousted. Replacing him with subservient pro-Western puppet leadership
is longstanding policy.
It bears repeating. Syria's being systematically ravaged and destroyed.
It appears just a matter of time before full-scale US-led intervention.
Libya 2.0 looms.

Big Second Half Propels Cowboys Past Nevada in MW Tournament, 85-81
Larry Nance, Jr. scored 19 points and grabbed 8 rebounds to lead the Wyoming Cowboys to a 85-81 victory over the Nevada Wolfpack in the opening game of the 2013 Reese's Mountain West Basketball Championships in Las Vegas Tuesday night. Nance was one of four UW players in double figures, as the Pokes survived a late push by Nevada and advance to face top seed New Mexico in quarterfinals Wednesday night.
Wyoming (19-12) held a slim 73-72 lead with 2:11 left, but thanks to 10 free throws and three huge turnovers by Nevada, the Cowboys hang on. Leonard Washington converted a key 3-point play with 1:08 left off a steal. That was part of 53 points scored in the second half by UW.
"It was a game of runs," UW head coach Larry Shyatt said. "I thought our run during the second half, when we came out and showed a level of toughness and a level of rebounding, maybe separated us. But the shots that they were putting in at the end were terrific."
A 19-4 run over six minutes at the start the second half put the Pokes in control, 51-40. Nance scored 10 points in the spurt and punctuated it with a steal and dunk off a lob pass from Derrious Gilmore.
Nance went 9-10 from the field and added 3 assists, a block and a steal. Leonard Washington scored 18 points, 16 of which came in the second half, Gilmore had 17 points and Josh Adams chipped in 10. UW shot 27-47 (57.4%) on field goals, 7-18 (38.9%) from deep and was 24-37 (64.9%) at the foul line. They had 18 assists on their 27 field goals, which included a career-high 8 from Gilmore. The 85 points scored were a season-high for UW.
Nevada (12-19) was led by Deonte Burton with 27 points, while Malik Story added 20. The Wolfpack went 28-59 (47.5%) from the floor, 10-25 (40%) from 3-point range and were 15-25 (60%) from the charity stripe.
Burton and Story combined with 8 offensive rebounds helped Nevada to a 36-32 lead at halftime. Thanks to some timely 3-pointers by Nance, Gilmore, Riley Grabau and Nathan Sobey helped them stay within striking distance.
Wyoming will face the New Mexico Lobos on Wednesday night in the quarterfinal round of the 2013 Reese's Mountain West Basketball Championships. You can listen to Cowboy basketball on Y95 Country. The broadcast will begin at 7 p.m., with the game scheduled for a 7:30 p.m. tip-off from the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas.

Los Angeles: Actress Scarlett Johansson doesn't Google her name any more because the results do not bring anything good.
"I've stopped Googling myself - nothing good ever comes of it. It gives you an inflated sense of yourself, too. It makes you feel like everyone is paying attention to you and they're not," she said.
According to eonline.com, the 28-year-old revealed this during a conversation with Elle Canada magazine.
"You don't know me. I don't particularly care about the romantic life of a person I don't know. I guess we're all nosy in some way... I know that people like celebrities and maybe it gives them something to dream about," she added.
Talking about the kind of work she would like to do in the future, Johansson said: "It would be such a waste to just continue to do the same thing and not take a risk. I don't have anything to lose by taking a risk artistically - I only have something to gain, even if it doesn't work out."

I have not been around the forum much but just checked in and saw my old posts and applications come up in this thread. To be honest, I have not gone beyond Puppy 1.0.8 for my Linux and music needs. I got all the applications I needed to run a stable, minimal Linux audio and MIDI setup on my old laptop and stopped developing around the end of 2006. Since then, I tried fiddling with MicroMuppy2 a bit but basically decided to leave Puppy music development to those with far more knowledge than a hack music producer and musician.
I suspect most of my old applications and dotpups will not work with the newer versions of Puppy given the advances and changes made to the operating system but most of those applications have also been updated. It looks like a few folks here have taken the music development ball and run with it so I look forward to the day when I see good reason to dump Puppy 1.0.8 and upgrade to the newest Puppy version with complete confidence in its audio/MIDI capabilities!

Good to see you around toddyjoe. Now, that Puppy is moving from unionfs to aufs, I really hope that someone goes for a musicians.sfs. It could transform Puppy into a music studio in just a.....click.

jcagle - thanks for the info.
I've decided that for the time being, rosegarden is sufficient for me (after I learnt that rosegarden can also be used to manage digital audio, perhaps not as good as ardour, but well ...).
hi toddyjoe, good to see you around !
Thanks for the compilation of the dotpups, I wish to retract my earlier statement: I could actually make some of them work on 2.15CE !!
For the benefit of others who are still looking, while waiting for someone to create an updated package:
1. jackd & qjackctl - works
2. zynaddsubfx - works
3. fluidsynth & qsynth - works
4. gmorgan works
5. vkeyb - works with the following note:
a) get libtk8.4.so from
b) extract the dotpup (the usual way)
c) copy /usr/local/TclTk8.4/lib to /usr/lib
6. rosegarden - works with the following note:
a) get libcurl.3.so from
b) extract as usual
Just that it's a bit old though, version 1.0.
Oh yes, one final note. After finishing installation, go to /usr/local and delete the "usr" directory in it. That's right, there will be a directory called /usr/local/usr --- remove it. You can keep it there but it's not necessary. I guess this has something to do with the way dotpups operate way back in 1.08 version.
Just wondering - once digital audio is rendered from rosegarden, what tool I should use to convert it into a WAV file which can then be burned as audio CD?

The preferred method would be to first run your mixed tracks through Jamin (not sure if you can get it to run in puppy though) I'd look for a .deb or something that should work in puppy and install that and any dependencies. This will "master" your music.
I'd assume that you are recording in 32 bit floating point. In which case, install audacity and convert to 16 bit with 1 bit dither. This will preserve as much of the audio wave as possible and give a better product.
Then just use any burning program to burn the 16 bit wav files to a cd.
(I am told this is how the pros do it
Hope that helps

I have a question.....
I use the planet ccrma packages along with F7_64 at home, but I am REALLY interested in knowing if these packages will work on puppy 3.0?
I have a 400Mhz Thinkpad that i would love to have a smaller version of my studio on - For quick moments of inspiration and working "on the road"
I would switch my Main rig over to puppy, but alas. Puppy doesn't have a 64 bit kernel as far as I know. And after attempting 6 builds of a working kernel, I destroyed my F7 install (Dont ask) took me 3 days to get grub working again. So I have accepted defeat and won't attempt what is obviously NOT my expertise.
If anyone is willing to build me a kernel That would work with my etup, i would gladly switch.
Here's what I have and need supported(in case someone get's the gumption):
Dual Core 64 bit Intel CPU (not core duo or C2D, just the plain dual core they first came out with)
real time patches etc...
nvidia support for the 7200GS chipset
Intel HDA sound (soon to be M-Audio 1010LT so the envy24 mixer would help too
If someone can get that to work (I don't care what version of puppy, although the latest stable apps would be nice LOL) I'd immediately switch my studio to puppy. For obvious reasons
Thanks in advance

.... since we're in "Wish-list Mode" ...
Has anyone got a Sibelius like/compatible setup working in Puppy? Or some other product for producing scores? For my wants it doesn't need more than 4 voices (divided) for an SSAATTBB choir, but others may need more.
If something's there already, then just reply with a link.

@pyrael: Thanks. For my main audio needs, I switch to either 64studio or ubuntustudio these days. The instruction I left was for those who would like to do it in puppy. I don't do the 1-bit dithering though - too lazy :p
Btw I don't think your 400mhz setup is enough, especially if you use soft synth. I found that jamin eat a lot of cpu time --- enough that I was forced to upgrade from my old trusty 8-year old Athlon XP to Althon64 XP dual-core.

Oh, I wasn't going to use soft synth on the laptop
Just basic GM crap sounds from the soundcard.
And maybe a MIDI editor just to have the Ideas saved so That I could transfer them to my main studio for the "real deal"
I may be upgrading to a better laptop soon anyway. Although if I don't find a decent one in my (cheap) price range I may just resort to popping Cakewalk PA9 on it with 98SE or 2k (since I have the coasters........er I mean disks laying around
) and accept defeat. As I said, The laptop is just for putting down the Ideas and such. (I don't think I can even plug my guitar into that thing:P

Hi all,
pity I saw this thread only now, I'm also trying to setup my home studio with Puppy: only Audacity and Timidity are working for the moment, but that's better than nothing. Please put also my name in the Ardour wish list...
for perfect scoreprinting with old-fashioned but very efficient text input, I suggest ABCPlus: http://abcplus.sourceforge.net/
It is a polyphonic version of ABC, a simple and straightforward music notation language you'll easily learn to handle: don't be fooled by the apparent sluggishness, it's actually faster than graphic-input programs (anyway, there are graphic-input addons if you want).
I've been using it for almost three years now, mostly for choral scores. I simply opened the rpm then copied the files in Puppy's same-name folders: runs smoothly. I did post my result as a DotPup, but it was deleted... possibly because I didn't include the manual.
Only annoyance, EPDF (in 3.01) doesn't "watch" a file and Ghostscript (in 1.08 to 2.14) needs pressing the "r" key every time even if the "watch file" option is set, possibly because of Rox's behavior.
I've uploaded one of my scores here to let you see what comes out:
There are other notation programs of this kind (Lilypond, PMW, MUP, to say a few) but IMHO this one is the simplest and lightest, with excellent graphic quality. Only GUIDO beats it for complex notation, but sadly is no longer developed.

very good score! it's your own composition? (I see also an anacrusis at beginning before regular beat bracket in 4/4) I will run to download this program, but, it's a way to hear what you compose in real time or not? It wolud be useful, without I must go to my piano any time
a final question: I must use:
to extract rpm? and then? what happens?

We're going a little OT here, I'll just say it's a Negro Spiritual, i.e., a traditional American Blacks' chant I found arranged by André Van Ryckeghem in the CPDL library (www.cpdl.org) and rearranged it a bit to my taste.
BTW, the original version is made with TeX-music, and since the CPDL site isn't working at this moment I've posted it here so you can compare:
Yes, unrpm should unpack the files, which are in folders called /usr, /etc and so on: just copy what's inside into Puppy's folder of the same name.
There are very nice utilities for ABCPlus (see main page in Sourceforge) with which you can obtain a MIDIfile from an ABC text file and vice-versa, though some adjustment is generally needed. This way you can hear how an ABCPlus score (text file) sounds without leaving your PC.
However, let me recommend to train your musical reading skills till the music resounds in your head when you read a score, just as words resound in your head when you read text.
Ah, for Pyrael and all who may like the idea of getting a new laptop for 10$ plus some everyday clicking, here's a site offering just that (I hope this is OK to comply with the forum's rules):
You must then register and get credits every time you click inside their messages, or someone registers with your referral; when you have enough credits, you can have a brand new laptop sent to you with no further expenses.
I'm registered, and if you register using the above link you'll also give me credits -- if you don't like the idea, just use the plain site name; if you do, thank you.

I also want to try installing Sibelius. I understand it has to run with Timidity and Wine and maybe some dlls added. I also understand is slow. I will like to have Sibelius in Puppy since I have many scores, but I may like to find a nice native score writer ...
In the meantime, tthuxx made a great job compiling MuseScore 0.9.2
here is the link:
there are some graphics for buttons on top that do not show, but if you let the pointer for a while you will discover the function or check out with
Once installed please help me to make it multitimbral. I do not know how to do that with soundfonts. I think it may be better to use it with Timidity too ...
I hope it will work. Please post any bugs.

Hi bill
Last week a couple of puppy users have joined forces to build a studio version of puppy 3.0.1 and we'll be compiling just about everything we need for this new puppy release. You might want to consider using this when we get it off the ground, But a quick fix for your problem very might be installing gslapt
and update it..(Sometimes you have to update twice before you get all the sources.)
After the 3.0.1 release is finished I could see it moving up to 4.0 series , just kind of waiting for some bugs to be fixed in 4.0 before releasing any variants.
once installed you should be able to get just about anything you want, It will be larger in size because it wasn't compiled for your system fully, but that will only be for the first couple of programs until you get the base down.
<-- excellent site
<-- Codec Test Files
<-- excellent HTML5 games
