Previously photographed while breaking tackles and celebrating touchdowns, the only Aaron Hernandez images circulating nowadays show the former Patriot in handcuffs or holding a gun.
Previously photographed while breaking tackles and celebrating touchdowns, the only Aaron Hernandez images circulating nowadays show the former Patriot in handcuffs or holding a gun.
New images of Hernandez carrying a gun shortly after the shooting death of Odin Lloyd have surfaced in new court documents. Police said these images, captured by the video surveillance inside Hernandez's North Attleboro home, help link Hernandez to Lloyd's murder on June 17.
The black-and-white images, albeit grainy, appear to show Hernandez holding a gun inside his home at about 3:30 a.m. on the morning of Lloyd's slaying. Police found Lloyd's body later that day in an industrial park about a mile from Hernandez's home.
The previously unreleased surveillance photos hadn't been released to the public until Thursday, a day after Attleboro District Court Judge Daniel O'Shea approved a motion by The Patriot Ledger, the Taunton Daily Gazette and their parent company, GateHouse Media, to lift the impoundment of court records in the Hernandez case.
The court released 104 pages of warrant materials, including the arrest warrants for Hernandez and an alleged accomplice, Ernest Wallace. It was the second time in three weeks that O'Shea granted the media's request to unseal court records in the Hernandez investigation.
Hernandez, 23, has pleaded innocent to murder and other weapons charges in the shooting death of Lloyd, 27, of Dorchester. Hernandez, who is being held without bail, was released by the Patriots shortly after his arrest on June 26.
Wallace has been charged with being an accessory after the fact in Lloyd's slaying, and Carlos Ortiz, who police say was with Hernandez and Wallace on the night of the murder, faces a weapons charge.
Except for the surveillance photos, the records released Thursday contained a lot of the same information included in the records unsealed in Attleboro District Court earlier this month. The new materials include warrant applications, affidavits and returns for multiple searches of Hernandez's home and property on July 5.
Some of the materials that were being sought by police in the searches were redacted from the documents.
One new piece of evidence included in the latest round of court records was the police's alleged recovery of a palm print belonging to Hernandez on a rifle. The print was found on a functioning semi-automatic FEG Hungarian rifle, a 7.62x39mm caliber firearm, that was in a black gym bag on Hernandez's property, the warrants state.
Attached to the rifle was a Master Molder magazine with a 33-round capacity, investigators said. Police said Hernandez did not have a valid or expired license to carry or a Massachusetts Firearms Identification Card.
Investigators said they have not yet recovered the firearm they believe was used in Lloyd's slaying. Court records said five .45 caliber discharged cartridge casings were found on the ground in the immediate area around Lloyd's body. Although the murder weapon hasn't been recovered, police said they recovered a .45 caliber spent cartridge casing in the dumpster on the property of the Enterprise Rent-A-Car in North Attleboro.
A manager at the Enterprise told police she removed the casing from the 2012 Nissan Altima that Hernandez had returned on the afternoon of June 17, according to court records.
On July 9, the court released 154 pages of documents related to eight search warrants – executed between June 17 and July 1. The materials had been impounded at the request of the Bristol County District Attorney's office, but lawyers for GateHouse Media contended that state law says all warrant materials are public records.
The motion by GateHouse newspapers was supported by other news organizations including The Associated Press, CNN and the Eagle Tribune. Attorney Michael Grygiel, representing the Ledger and Daily Gazette, said he wouldn't be surprised if more search warrants are returned to the court as police continue to probe Lloyd's death.
Hernandez's defense team opposed the release of the court records, saying the widespread sharing of information would harm their client's constitutional right to a fair trial.

A New Trinity
While it is undeniable that ATI's new Radeon 5000 series graphics cards are the current talk of the town, we are taking the time today to take a look at the other side of the fence. The "green" side, if you will.
Despite the animosity between NVIDIA and Intel surrounding their chipset business (think ION), the two are still very much partners in other aspects. Recently, NVIDIA demonstrated the willingness to reconcile differences by licensing their SLI technology for use on Intel's latest X58 and P55 chipsets. This eventually led to NVIDIA's current ongoing "Power of 3" campaign.
You might be scratching your heads and wondering what's this "Power of 3" campaign. Quite simply, it refers to the combination of Intel's P55 chipset, Lynnfield processors and NVIDIA's GPUs. SLI used to be exclusive to NVIDIA's nForce chipset, making multi-GPU configurations on an Intel motherboard impossible. But now that SLI is licensed for use on the new X58 and P55 chipsets, multi-GPU setups with NVIDIA graphics cards are now possible on Intel's newest boards. And with this, NVIDIA is positioning it as a better solution to a comparable all AMD platform.
Hence today, we are going to explore the potential the Power of 3 brings, and whether it is truly the better solution for users. If you are currently on the look out for a powerful mid to high-end gaming system, you'd definitely want to read on.

In 2011, Lou Reed visited the Strand Bookstore to discuss his new book, The Raven, based on the Edgar Allan Poe classic. Watch him read from the book and answer questions about it.
In 2001, legendary songwriter Lou Reed immersed himself in the world of one of his spiritual forefathers, Edgar Allan Poe, to produce a cycle of songs in which Reed's poetically streetwise sensibility merged with Poe's dark chronicles of terror and despair. This suite of songs was released on 2003 on CD as The Raven. In 2011, Reed's Poe-inspired lyrics were collected into a book version of The Raven, complete with vivid, abstracted and enigmatic paintings inspired by Reed and Poe by Italian cartoonist Lorenzo Mattotti (The New Yorker).

Q. Is it legal to splice conductors in an "LB" fitting?
A. Splices are only permitted in conduit bodies that are marked by the manufacturer with their volume; and the maximum number of conductors permitted in a conduit body is limited in accordance with 314.16(B) [314.16(C)(2)]. Short-radius conduit bodies, such as capped elbows, handy ells, and service-entrance elbows must not contain any splices or taps [314.5].
Example: How many 12 AWG conductors can be spliced in a conduit body that has a capacity of 15 cu. in.? (Figure 314-16C2 01) The answer is 6 conductors (15 cu in. ÷ 2.25 cu in. = 6.67) [Table 314.16(B)]
Q. Can I install a panel in the clothes closet of a house if the working space of 110.26 is maintained?
A. No. Overcurrent devices are not permitted to be located near easily ignitable material, such as in clothes closets.
Q. How do you properly size a generator? Is there a standard somewhere that provides any guidance?
A. Prior to the 2008 NEC, the Code was silent on requiring any types of calculations for optional standby systems. New to the Code in the 2008 edition is 702.5(B)(2), which tells us that the optional standby power source must have adequate capacity to supply the full load transferred, if using an automatic transfer switch.
For a new installation, the load is determined by Art. 220 or an alternate method approved by the AHJ. For existing facilities, the maximum demand data for one yearr or the average power demand of a 15-min. period over a minimum of 30 days can be used to size the power source [220.87].
Non-NEC considerations: Consider the type of load and impedance of the generator; it's typical to size a generator for UPS services at three times the expected load in order to have the generator impedance low enough so that harmonics is not a problem. The issue with harmonics is due to the alternator size and impedance and not the engine. A less expense approach to this problem is to have an oversized alternator attached to the same size engine or specify an alternator with a lower sub-transient reactance. Generator sizing is complicated, and becomes even more so, when motor loads are involved. As generator performance varies with manufacturer, it's a good idea to consult the manufacturer and avoid manufacturers who cannot give you an answer.
Q. Does the Code address sharing a neutral for two conductors of the same phase?
A. Well, not really. Section 310.10 is the closest thing you will find, which says conductors must not be used where the operating temperature exceeds that designated for the type of insulated conductor involved. With that said, it would be legal to do this if the neutral was big enough.
Q. I was written up for having my NM cable in the same drilled stud hole as my doorbell wiring. I have been doing this for years. Have I been wrong all this time?
A. No, you haven't been doing it wrong. The section you were probably cited was 725.136(A), which states, "Class 2 and Class 3 circuit conductors and cables must not be placed in any enclosure, raceway, or cable with conductors of electric light, power, and Class 1 circuits." Notice that this rule applies to conductors of electric light and power, not cables of electric light and power.
Q. We typically put the refrigerator for a house on its own circuit, but do I have to do this for commercial as well? These are very small refrigerators, if it makes any difference.
A. There is nothing that requires a refrigerator to be on an individual branch circuit, either for residential or commercial applications.
Q. Does the Code specify a maximum length for a disposal cord?
A. Yes. A flexible cord is permitted for a waste disposal if the cord has a grounding-type attachment plug, the cord length is at least 18 in. and not longer than 3 ft, the waste disposal receptacle is located to avoid damage to the cord, and the waste disposal receptacle is accessible [422.16(B)(1)].

Daguerreotype Death Portraitsby Kelvin Burzon '12 • April 13, 2012 Share:
After discovering old daguerreotype death portraits I became fascinated in the imagery of death, its expression, and the reasons for such a grim souvenir of a loved one. The idea of a portrait or monument to someone's guise is such a celebration and tribute. But why celebrate such an unsettling and mournful event?
I've been obsessed with such images, their beauties, and the taboos that revolve around them. The discomforts that surround these images explore our fear or sensitivity to death. My work investigates the beauty and fascination within images that suggest our final moments.
Using the Seven Deadly Sins as a point of departure for this photographic series, I've created a set of images that both represent each sin and delve deeper into the human imperfections we all possess. The production of my pieces relies as much upon my process as they do on my conceptual idea.
I choose to work and develop film simply for the quality and romantic nostalgia that the process provides. The idea that as a photographer I have control of every minute detail of the scene, the lighting, and down to the temperature in which my films are developed, is very important to my process. With this control, I balance it with the spontaneity of the inkjet transfers and presentations of the photographs.

Lurasidone Met Primary and Key Secondary Efficacy Endpoints at Both 40 and 120 mg/day; Weight and Metabolic Profile Similar to Placebo
Osaka, Japan & Fort Lee, NJ, USA | August 26, 2009 | Dainippon Sumitomo Pharma Co., Ltd., (DSP) announced today positive results from PEARL 2 - a phase 3 clinical trial of lurasidone for the treatment of patients with schizophrenia. In this trial, both lurasidone 40 and 120 mg/day were significantly more effective than placebo for the treatment of schizophrenia. Lurasidone was welltolerated with an overall discontinuation rate that was similar to placebo.
"We are pleased with the results of this study as these data reinforce our belief that lurasidone will be an important treatment option for patients with schizophrenia," said Masayo Tada, president and chief executive officer, Dainippon Sumitomo Pharma Co., Ltd. "We plan to submit our NDA filing package for lurasidone to the U.S. FDA in early 2010."
PEARL 2 (Program to Evaluate the Antipsychotic Response to Lurasidone) is part of an extensive worldwide phase 3 clinical development program, involving more than 2,000 patients, intended to evaluate the safety and efficacy of lurasidone for the treatment of schizophrenia. The PEARL 2 study was a double-blind, fixed-dose, placebo-controlled clinical trial involving 478 inpatients with acute schizophrenia that were randomized to receive either lurasidone 40 or 120 mg/day, olanzapine 15 mg/day or placebo for six weeks. The active comparator, olanzapine, was used for purposes of establishing assay sensitivity.
Lurasidone 40 and 120 mg, taken once-daily, demonstrated significantly greater improvement versus placebo on the primary efficacy measure, the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score, at study endpoint. PANSS score changes from baseline for lurasidone 40 and 120 mg/day versus placebo were -25.7 and -23.6 vs. -16.0, respectively, at study endpoint. A total of 53% of patients on lurasidone 40 mg/day and 47% of patients on lurasidone 120 mg/day demonstrated a 30% or more improvement on the PANSS total score from baseline versus 38% on placebo. In addition, both lurasidone dose groups were significantly more effective than placebo on the Clinical Global Impressions Severity scale (CGI-S), the key secondary efficacy endpoint. The CGI-S score changes from baseline for lurasidone 40 and 120 mg/day versus placebo were -1.5 and -1.4 vs. -1.1, respectively, at study endpoint.
"Patients with schizophrenia and their health care providers are in need of new treatment options that provide consistent efficacy with a lower impact on weight, lipids, and movement disorders", said Herbert Meltzer, M.D., a study investigator and professor of psychiatry and pharmacology at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. "Lurasidone appears to be a potentially significant new treatment option for schizophrenia."
The effect of lurasidone on weight was similar to placebo [median weight change: 0.9 kg (2 lbs) for 40 mg/day, 0.5 kg (1.1lbs) for 120 mg/day vs. 0 kg for placebo at study endpoint]. The incidence of clinically significant weight gain (≥7% increase from baseline to study endpoint) was 7.6% for lurasidone 40 mg/day, 4.2% for lurasidone 120 mg/day and 7.0% for placebo. Changes in total cholesterol and other lipid measurements for both lurasidone doses (40 and 120 mg/day) were similar to placebo (median change: total cholesterol -8.0 mg/dL and -5.0 mg/dL vs. -5.0 mg/dL placebo; and triglycerides -3.0 mg/dL and 4.5 mg/dL vs. -1.0 mg/dL placebo, respectively, at study endpoint).
"PEARL 2 data are consistent with previous lurasidone placebo-controlled studies and underscore the potential of lurasidone to effectively treat patients with schizophrenia," said Antony Loebel, M.D., vice president of clinical research, Dainippon Sumitomo Pharma America, Inc. Lurasidone was also well-tolerated with an overall discontinuation rate similar to placebo (40% vs. 39% placebo) and few adverse event-related discontinuations (9% for both the overall lurasidone group and placebo). Adverse events seen in the trial were generally mild. The most commonly reported adverse events for lurasidone 40 and 120 mg/day combined (greater than 5% and at least twice the rate of placebo) were akathisia (17.3% vs. 0.9% placebo), somnolence (12.2% vs. 4.3% placebo), sedation (11.4% vs. 3.4% placebo), parkinsonism (10.1% vs. 1.7% placebo), nausea (9.3% vs. 4.3% placebo), and dystonia (5.5% vs. 0.9% placebo).
Olanzapine 15 mg/day produced significantly greater improvements than placebo on both the PANSS total score (-28.7 vs. -16.0 placebo) and CGI-S (-1.5 vs. -1.1 placebo). A total of 64% of patients on olanzapine demonstrated a 30% or more improvement on the PANSS total score from baseline versus 38% on placebo. Patients on olanzapine reported a 3.1 kg (6.8 lbs) increase in median weight gain at study endpoint. The incidence of clinically significant weight gain (≥7% increase from baseline to study endpoint) for olanzapine was 34.4% vs. 7.0% placebo. Olanzapine-treated patients had a greater increase in lipid parameters versus placebo (median change: total cholesterol 9.0 mg/dL vs. - 5.0 mg/dL placebo; and triglycerides 24.0 mg/dL vs. -1.0 mg/dL placebo at study endpoint). The most commonly reported adverse events for olanzapine (greater than 5% and at least twice the rate of placebo) were increased weight (20.5% vs. 5.2% placebo), sedation (13.9% vs. 3.4% placebo), dry mouth (9.8% vs. 0.9% placebo), somnolence (9.0% vs. 4.3% placebo) and akathisia (7.4% vs. 0.9% placebo). The company has submitted the results of the trial for presentation at a scientific meeting at the end of this year.
PEARL 2 Study Overview
This randomized, fixed-dose, placebo-controlled, double-blind, multinational clinical trial was conducted at 52 sites worldwide primarily in hospital settings. Twenty-five sites in the United States randomized 286 patients, 18 sites in Asia randomized 115 patients, five sites in South America randomized 48 patients and four sites in Europe randomized 29 patients.
Patients were diagnosed with schizophrenia (using DSM-IV criteria) and were required to have an acute exacerbation of psychotic symptoms with a PANSS total score of 80 or higher at study baseline. Trial participants had a mean age of 37.7 years with an average PANSS score of 96.6 at baseline. Patients had been diagnosed with schizophrenia, on average, for more than 13 years and most had been previously hospitalized prior to entering the study. Multiple safety assessments were done, including vital signs, weight, ECGs, movement disorder scales (SAS, BAS, AIMS), and laboratory assessments. 3

Well, it doesn't quite rhyme, but I do wish that people gave out kids' books instead of candy during Halloween.
For those of us that really enjoy Halloween— you know who you are: you've had your child's costume since July, you're dying for a visit to the pumpkin patch, and you're dreaming of ways to make Halloween last longer than one fabulous day and night—this is the list you've been waiting for. There's the silly, the spooky, the scary, and everything in between. No tricks here—only treats!

On Thursday, a Korean court ruled that Apple did not violate three Samsung patents related to messaging services. The Seoul Central District Court rejected Samsung's request that Apple should pay 100 million won ($95,000) in damages, as well as a ban on sales of older iPhones and iPads.
According to the AFP, the court noted that two of three patents in dispute are invalid because they can be easily developed using technologies that already exist.
"We are glad the Korean court joined others around the world in standing up for real innovation and rejecting Samsung's ridiculous claims," Apple Korea spokesman Steve Park told Reuters.
Meanwhile, Samsung said it will appeal the decision. "As Apple has continued to infringe our patented mobile technologies, we will continue to take the measures necessary to protect our intellectual property rights."
In the recent damages retrial of Apple v. Samsung in a federal court in California, Samsung was found to owe an additional $290 million beyond the reduced amount it was previously ordered to pay. That brought the total damages bill for Samsung to around $900 million for the entire affair.

We've tried to stay on top of this planking thing for you guys, because it's confusing and new and stressful. Last we dropped in on sports-based planking, some wealthy—but now unemployed—NBA stars got prone on ostentatious objects (Beamers, Benzes, or Bentleys, we cannot remember which).
Last night, Mark J. Rebilas, a Phoenix-based photog, decided to plank during the Home Run Derby, while on the clock. He sent the photo our way today. We can't tell exactly when during the Derby this happened; nonetheless, he's a pioneer. Plank on, all.

I've installed Ubuntu 10.10 on this particular model, and it works perfectly out of the box. Once Ubuntu is installed, it will then ask if you want to download the proprietary ATI drivers, which, again, work perfectly.
I also attempted openSUSE 11.4 last week…this one was not so good. I had to tweak the video settings before running the install, otherwise the installer crashed out. Also, there's no inherent support for the wireless drivers, and after a few hours of searching the internet, I didn't come across any either.

Earlier this week we gave you the Pathfinder RPG: Beginner Box Transitions download and now we present you with something else with a "free" price tag.
For those of you who have Curse of the Lady's Light (either in your paws or downloaded onto the digital perusal device of your choice) you might have read James's foreword where he mentions something about a free web enhancement. In that foreword, he explains how a chunk of Mike Shel's adventure needed to get scrapped to fit the deity article on Torag (which we missed putting in the Skull & Shackles Adventure Path). This isn't something we normally do, but we had the art and James really liked the extra social interaction encounters. This is GM-focused bonus material that provides a few more encounters and helps move the story from Magnimar to the Lady's Light—so stay out players!
But for everyone else, enjoy your time with the new characters you'll meet in this free supplement and use it to bring more fun to your Shattered Star campaign!

Terry Crews has gone from secretly hilarious to just plain old hilarious. The Muppets have always been the best. The Toyota Highlander isn't exciting. And a hallucinating Terry Crews doesn't make it exciting.
Toyota picked a great cast for the ad, and most everyone is a sucker for The Muppets whether they're shilling for Toyota or disposable enemas. Terry Crews has gone from tough guy to comedy jokester in Old Spice ads as well as the latest season of Arrested Development.
So they have the recipe for something exciting and funny, and they then pair it with the most boring car in the world. This is a car that was at the Detroit Auto Show, and we actually had to look at the plaque to know what it was.
So, characters in the car, no character in the car itself.

LANCASTER — The pastor of Immaculate Conception Parish in Lancaster has been removed from his post by the Worcester Diocese because of a "credible allegation" that he engaged in sexual misconduct with a minor 40 years ago, Bishop Robert J. McManus announced at the parish's Masses this weekend.
The Rev. Edward P. Lettic, who has served as pastor at Immuclate Conception since 1993, was placed on leave after a victim came forward with the allegation, which was investigated by the Diocesan Review Committee.
"It is the first and only report of an allegation of misconduct which we have received involving Father Lettic," McManus told parishioners. "Because of the serious nature of the allegation, and consistent with the Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People, I must relieve Father Lettic of his duties as pastor of the parish and to remove his faculties as a priest."
McManus said he will appoint a temporary administrator this week to oversee the parish until a new pastor is named.
"A canonical process has begun including a report of the allegation to the Congregation for Doctrine of the Faith in Rome," a statement from the Worcester Diocese said. "The result of that canonical process, if found guilty of the allegation, could include removal from the clerical state or a sanction such as a life of prayer and penance."
According to the diocese, Lettic was ordained a priest for the Worcester Diocese in 1973. He has served as an associate pastor at St. Joan of Arc in Worcester, St. Denis in East Douglas and St. Joseph in Auburn, as well as a chaplain at Westboro State Hospital before being named pastor of Immaculate Conception.
Text of announcement the Most Rev. Robert J. McManus, bishop of Worcester, shared at all the Masses this weekend at Immaculate Conception Parish in Lancaster.
"I come before you today with a saddened heart to announce that I have placed Fr. Edward P. Lettic on administrative leave due to a credible allegation of sexual misconduct with a minor which took place forty years ago. Recently the victim came forward to the diocese with this allegation which has been investigated with the oversight of the Diocesan Review Committee. It is the first and only report of an allegation of misconduct which we have received involving Fr. Lettic. Because of the serious nature of the allegation, and consistent with the Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People, I must relieve Father Lettic of his duties as pastor of the parish and remove his faculties as a priest."
"I truly realize that this news is a shock for you as it has been for me. I ask that you join me in prayer for the parish community, as well as for those who have been hurt in any way by sexual misconduct. I also ask that you keep Fr. Lettic in your prayers."
"The Catholic Church is often referred to as the family of God. As your bishop, I have a serious pastoral responsibility for the spiritual care and wellbeing of this family. That is why I have come to this parish personally to share this very troubling news. A family rejoices together in good times and also grieves together in times of hurt and sadness. My fervent hope and prayer is that, relying on each other's support and on God's grace, we will work together to continue to make Immaculate Conception Parish a strong and vibrant community of faith, hope and love. This week I will appoint a temporary administrator to oversee the pastoral life of the parish until a new pastor is named. After Mass, I will be here to meet with anyone who wishes to gather in the rectory along with Mrs. Frances Nugent, director of the Office of Healing and Prevention. I pray that God's all powerful grace may bring you comfort and healing in the weeks and months ahead."

text: TV / VideoCommunity Earns Low Grades, The Assets Is D.O.A.Rough night for NBC, ABC as premieres flopBy Anthony Crupi|January 3, 2014 ShareBy Anthony Crupi|January 3, 2014 Share It was a case of feast or famine on the first night back after broadcast's long holiday hiatus, as CBS' Thursday night comedy lineup put up big numbers, while premieres on NBC and ABC went largely ignored. According to Nielsen live-plus-same-day data, The Big Bang Theory put on its usual steamroller performance at 8 p.m., drawing 19.2 million viewers and a 5.4 in the adults 18-49 demo, marking the show's third highest-rated episode of the season. In so doing, the CBS sitcom obliterated NBC's returning Community, which delivered just 3.85 million viewers and a 1.3 in the demo in head-to-head competition. The return of prodigal showrunner Dan Harmon did little to boost Community's Six Seasons and a Movie prospects, as the premiere was down 32 percent from last year's opener (1.9), although it did tie time slot predecessor Parks and Recreation's opening delivery for the 2013-14 campaign. A second all-new installment of Community fared no better, eking out a 1.3 in the dollar demo against a fresh episode of CBS' The Millers (2.8, up 8 percent from its most recent first-run broadcast on Dec. 12). NBC's Thursday night woes became even more pronounced as the night wore on, as freshman comedies Sean Saves the World and The Michael J. Fox Show returned to their lowest ratings to date. The Sean Hayes vehicle delivered a 0.9 in the demo, while TMJFS slumped to a 0.8.. At 9 p.m., CBS' Robin Williams vehicle, The Crazy Ones, delivered a 2.0 in the 18-49 demo, up one tenth of a ratings point from its most recent original broadcast. Two and a Half Men improved 16 percent with a 2.1. While HUT levels for the final hour of prime time were up slightly (+2 percent) versus the year-ago period, most of those who were tuned into a broadcast network managed to sidestep ABC. With its 10 p.m. hit Scandal on hiatus until Feb. 27, ABC last night rolled out the first installment of its eight-part limited series The Assets. The spy drama staggered into the lineup in front of an audience of just 3.77 million viewers; moreover, its 0.7 in the demo made it the lowest-rated in-season drama premiere in the history of the Big Four. By way of comparison, Scandal's mid-season finale delivered 9.22 million viewers and a 3.2 rating on Dec. 12, effectively quadrupling The Assets' demo performance. CBS' Elementary won the hour with a 1.9 rating, up two-tenths of a ratings point from its latest original broadcast, while NBC's Parenthood was up a tenth with a 1.3. Fox aired encores of Sleepy Hollow and Bones, while the CW was also in repeat mode with encores of The Vampire Diaries and Reign. Fox gets back into the swing of things on Jan. 16, when it bows its first American Idol results show of the season; the following week marks the premiere of the network's new Greg Kinnear drama, Rake. The Vampire Diaries and Reign also are slated to return on Jan. 23. All told, the broadcast deliveries were most likely eroded by ESPN's coverage of the Allstate Sugar Bowl. Per Nielsen live-plus-same-day estimates, the Alabama-Oklahoma scrap averaged a stellar 16.3 million viewers and a 5.2 in the demo, up nearly 60 percent from the 10.1 million viewers and 3.3 rating delivered by last year's Louisville-Florida matchup. Oklahoma's 45-31 upset of the No. 3 Crimson Tide was the most-watched Sugar Bowl in a decade. The 2004 game, which served as the season's BCS title game, was watched by 23.9 million viewers. Incidentally, Brent Musburger did not call the Sugar Bowl for ESPN. As such, there was no reprise of this memorable performance. Sharehttp://adweek.it/KnD4Yn copy Adweek Adweek

Create Your Own Horde of Groupies with This iPhone App
Is your ego underinflated? Do you lack the mass media ubiquity and blind teen adulation required for true self worth? Luckily there's an iPhone app to help! Meet "Fan Mail."
"I am your BIGGEST fan!" reads one message. "Just want to send you a note to you know that YOU ROCK!" I hope one day I can be as cool as you are." You, too, can have such genuinely heartfelt (sounding) messages delivered to you — and customized! Just pay 99 cents, tell the app your name and occupation, and it will produce an entire inbox filled with messages like "You're an inspiration," "Autograph?" and "A feature on you."
Lest you fear this iPhone app reflects on the disturbingly precarious emotional state of the typical American, rest assured that it does. "A twelve-year old boy sent an email telling me how much he enjoyed my morning radio show," app inventor and Jacksonville morning radio host Mark Kaye wrote in a press release. "It made me realize how lucky I am to be in a position to receive encouragement from people who appreciate what I do... Wouldn't it be great if teachers, doctors, volunteers, and everyone else got fan mail too?" It would be more "great" if people didn't need to bask in the attention of a 99 cent robot, but, hey, to each his own. Just don't call us when your groupie HAL turns stalkery and starts sending "WHY HAVEN'T YOU WRITTEN BACK??" and "I want to wear your skin like a suit" messages.

While it is true that you can take a 12V input from a cigarette lighter plug and create 5V to a USB port, not every PC can be charged from a USB port.
We have bought 3 inverters that quickly die.
My Dad doesn't like me to use the generator to power up my laptop batteries, yet likes to dry camp for several days at a time. Any suggestions? We have bought 3 inverters that quickly die. I have extra laptop batteries that I try to keep charged up, but even so run out of power.
Old Radios is right about the reduced efficiency with an inverter (about 10% loss), so a 12v adapter for the laptop is the best bet. But whether using inverter or adapter, the battery is still the critical path.
If you want one now and do not want to order it, Radio Shack has the small to large inverters that work well. I got a 1000w and it lasted me 5 years of heavy use
Radio Shack? Where is there still a Radio Shack?
Does anyone know which outlets throughout the coach might be 'hot' when we have the inverter turned on? I know the TV can work w/ the inverter on.

China white-box players have not been able to lower their Wi-Fi-based tablets' prices since the third quarter of 2013 because there is no room for further reductions in their BOM costs.
The average BOM cost for a white-box tablet - most of which adopted a dual-core processors - stood at about US$25 as of the fourth quarter of 2013. Dual-core processor pricing could not drop any furrther, as their average prices came to about US$4, only less than US$1 higher than that of a single-core one.
Memory and 7-inch TN LCD panels are the two key components that account for major shares of white-box tablet BOM costs. However, most panel suppliers have been only willing to upgrade specifications instead of dropping their quotes, and therefore, white-box players have been left with upgrading their devices with better panels without an option of reducing the panel cost.
While cost reduction is no longer a feasible way to attract consumers, many white-box players have turned to push tablets with phone functions to increase their devices' functionalities and value. The devices also provide higher gross margins for vendors.
Digitimes Research estimates that currently, 80% of white-box tablets are available in countries other than China, because white-box tablets with phone functions have seen rising demand in Russia and other markets in Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia since the second half of 2013.
China white-box players' partnerships with regional brand vendors in emerging markets have also helped raise local consumers' demand for tablets with phone functions.
In the first half of 2013, most white-box tablets with phone functions adopted China-based Allwinner Technology's solution which combined an entry-level single-core processor with a discrete baseband module. However, many white-box device makers have turned to MediaTek solutions for their tablets since thesecond half of 2013 after the Taiwan-based chipmaker also integrated a baseband chip into its tablet processor solution.
MediaTek's solution is more expensive, but its support for product development and hardware design has given it an upper hand over competitions. Meanwhile, independent design houses (IDHs), which provide white-box players with product design services, also started to design tablets using MediaTek's smartphone processors in the second half of 2013, which prompted white-box players to adopt MediaTek's solutions.
Digitimes Research estimates that tablets with phone functions will account for 40% of 7-inch white-box tablet shipments in 2014, up from 20% in 2013.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Occupy Wall Street protesters and state officials in Tennessee squared off for a third consecutive night Saturday, even though a local judge has consistently refused to jail the demonstrators and said the state lacks the authority to set a curfew on the property.
The protesters, some of whom have been arrested two straight nights, were galvanized by the friction between state officials and the local magistrate. Several new demonstrators showed up at the state-owned plaza near the Capitol for the first time Saturday.
"My heart has been here all along, but the arrests gave me the momentum to come," said Vicki Metzgar, 61, director of a Nashville Public Schools science and math initiative. "This (plaza) belongs to us, not the politicians."
The Nashville arrests came after a week of police crackdowns around the country on Occupy Wall Street activists, who have been protesting economic inequality and what they call corporate greed.
In Oakland, Calif., an Iraq War veteran was seriously injured during a protest clash with police Tuesday night. In Atlanta, helicopters hovered overhead Wednesday as officers in riot gear arrested more than 50 protesters at a downtown park. In San Diego, police arrested a similar number of people who occupied the Civic Center Plaza and Children's Park for three weeks.
Nashville magistrate Tom Nelson has said there's no legal reason to keep the demonstrators behind bars and he has released them after each arrest. He has refused each night to sign off on arrest warrants for more than two dozen people taken into custody.
Some legal experts agreed with the judge.
The arrests appeared to be a violation of First Amendment rights that allow for people to peacefully assemble, said attorney David Raybin, a former prosecutor. He and others said the nature of the arrests, coupled with the judge's refusal to sign off on the warrants, could become ammunition for lawsuits.
"The government is exposing itself to serious liability here by doing this," Raybin said.
Nelson did not return an email seeking and a phone number for him could not be found.
The curfew at the Legislative Plaza, which state troopers began enforcing Thursday night, runs from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
Others questioned the timing of the curfew. The protesters had been demonstrating for about three weeks before it took effect, a point that Nelson said he factored into his decision.
"You can't pass a curfew mid-protest because you disagree with this group of protesters," said criminal defense attorney Patrick Frogge, who is representing some of those arrested.
The state Department of Safety is carrying out the arrests. Commissioner Bill Gibbons, who until he joined the Haslam administration was the district attorney in Memphis, said he didn't have a role in developing the curfew but assured Haslam his department could enforce it.
Gibbons developed a reputation as an able and tough prosecutor in Memphis, where gang and drug violence have been problems for years. He ran against Haslam for governor in the GOP primary, touting his law-and-order credential and sharply attacking his multi-million-dollar opponent for refusing to divulge how much income he gets from the family-owned chain of Pilot truck stops.
Cecily Friday, one of the original Occupy Nashville protesters, said the administration's attempt to get rid of the demonstrators has "completely backfired."
"Over 1,000 people have been added to our Facebook page since the arrests," she said.
On Saturday afternoon, about 150 people showed up for an Occupy Nashville meeting. Lisa Keylon, a city planner, was there for the first time. She said she was recently in Atlanta, discussing with friends how unorganized the protests seemed, wondering how long they could last.
Then people were arrested in Atlanta, followed by those in Nashville.
"Now people are fired up because their First Amendment rights are being violated," she said.
Among those arrested Friday night was journalist Jonathan Meador, who told troopers he was a reporter covering the story for the Nashville Scene alternative newspaper. On Saturday, the owner of the newspaper sent a letter to Haslam's staff.
"I expect the governor to publicly apologize to him for this violation of his rights and to assure the people of Tennessee that this administration will not interfere with the right to a free press that has been a fundamental right in this country since our founding," SouthComm CEO Chris Ferrell wrote. "I'm sure you understand that every media outlet in this country will vigorously defend our right to cover government action without fear of arrest or reprisal."
A gala arts event honoring a prominent Republican fundraiser is happening at an adjoining state-owned plaza Saturday night. Near the scene of the Fest De Ville Gala, one enterprising protester stuck new placards beside those announcing the curfew. They were similar in size and color with text from Article 1 of the Tennessee Constitution: "Citizens have a right, in a peaceable manner, to assemble together for their common good."

Spread the cream cheese frosting between 2 cooled cookies and roll the edges in finely chopped pecans, if desired
