SAN DIEGO -- U.S. Coast Guard personnel offloaded more than 33 tons of impounded cocaine at the San Diego Harbor waterfront Sunday, a record take seized from seafaring traffickers over the last 10 months.
The bales of contraband carried into the bay by the USCG cutter Stratton was part of an overall 119,000 pounds of the illicit drug confiscated by U.S. and allied forces operating in the Eastern Pacific Ocean near Central and South America since last year, according to the federal maritime agency.
The combined haul carried an estimated total street value in excess of $1.8 billion.
The enforcement patrols also caught about 215 suspected smugglers, helping make fiscal 2015, which ends Sept. 30, already the most successful year in U.S. counter-drug operations in the Eastern Pacific since 2009, according to Adm. Paul Zukunft, commandant of the Coast Guard.
"This is about more than just trying to keep drugs off U.S. streets,'' Zukunft said. "The cultivation, trafficking and distribution of narcotics fuels violence and instability throughout the Western Hemisphere, (bringing) a path of destruction directly to the doorstep of the U.S.''
Transnational organized crime groups vie for control of illicit trafficking routes and power in many Latin American countries, resulting in increased violence and instability, according to government officials. The underworld competition has led to record-high homicide rates in Central and South America, as well as in the Caribbean.
More than half the unaccompanied children who crossed the U.S. southern border last year had suffered or faced harm from organized crime groups, a hardship that qualified them for international protection.
"There is still work to be done,'' Zukunft told reporters. "We can only act on 30 percent of known drug shipments in the Eastern Pacific and Caribbean. We must increase already hard-earned momentum to curb the rising tide of crime, violence and instability in our hemisphere.''
The amount of seized cocaine brought to San Diego this morning is equal to about 33 million doses of the drug, or 336 million hits of crack, according to U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration estimates.
The drug was seized in 23 separate actions by Coast Guard cutters and USCG law enforcement teams operating from U.S. Navy vessels in known drug transit zones around Central and South America.
During such interdictions in international waters, a suspect vessel is initially located and tracked by allied military or law enforcement aircraft or vessels. The actual boarding, search, seizures and arrests are conducted by Coast Guard personnel.
Allied and international partner agencies play a vital role in the operations, officials said.

Policy Project
Reimagining what new systems can look like requires systemic change. Policies are Rhode Island Education Policy Project (RIEPP) This project focuses on establishing a comprehensive education policy platform that promotes the development of a more racially, culturally, and linguistically diverse education workforce. This policy platform will also make recommendations to support and better prepare educators to effectively work with all students and improve the educational outcomes of students from historically underserved communities. The overarching objective of this project would be to assist in conducting research and producing four policy memos and issue briefs that will dictate the direction of our policy initiatives.
Main Question
What policy recommendations will help promote the development of a more racially, culturally, and linguistically education workforce and support educators, in general, in becoming more culturally responsive?
- What is the current state of educator diversity in Rhode Island? What data is available? What initiatives already exist to promote educator diversity? What type of initiatives may be needed?
- How does RIDE's Updates to Educator Preparation, Employment, & Professional Learning Regulations promote a more prepared and diverse education workforce? How will they implement these new updates?
- How can we best address some of the barriers to building a more prepared, diverse education workforce?

Jeff Binder, Matt Alley and Toby Siefert Team Up to Sell New Mexico Assisted Living/Memory Care Community
Senior Living Investment Brokerage, Inc. was engaged to sell a 69 unit Assisted Living and Memory Care community in New Mexico. The building consists of 54 assisted living units and 15 memory care units. Originally constructed in 1964 as a hotel, the building was converted in 1990 to seniors housing. The building was subsequently renovated in 2002 and again in 2010. The one and three story building is comprised of approximately 63,500 square feet on 2.4 acres. The community has a strong operating history and an excellent reputation in the market. At the time of sale, the census was 87%. The Seller is a national owner/operator based in Oregon who was divesting this asset to utilize the capital for other corporate purposes. The Buyer is a regional owner/operator based on the east coast. For additional information, please contact Toby Siefert or Matthew Alley at 630/858-2501 or Jeff Binder at 314/961-0070. www.slibinc.com
Jeff Binder Sells Oregon Assisted Living Community
Jeff Binder was engaged to sell a 53 unit Assisted Living facility in northwest Oregon. The building consisted of 41 studio units and 12 one-bedroom units. Constructed in 1999, the attractive two-story building sits on 2.15 acres. The community has a strong operating history, including several years at, or near, full capacity, and an excellent reputation in the market. At the time of the sale, census was near 93%. The building is a participant in the Medicaid program and the Medicaid census at the time of sale was 50%. The transaction closed at a 9.3% capitalization rate/$128,302 per unit. The Buyer assumed debt issued by the Oregon Housing and Community Services Department that carried unfavorable terms but certain penalties associated with the debt prevented pre-payment. The Seller is based in Oregon and divested the asset to exit the seniors housing sector and plans on using the proceeds on a more passive investment. A national seniors housing operator managed the facility for the Seller and will remain under a new third-party management agreement. The stable financial history, solid reputation and quality location just outside of Portland, helped secure multiple offers. The Buyer is a national owner with plans to increase their operating presence in Oregon. For additional information, please contact Jeff binder at 314/961-0070 or email@example.com
Brad Clousing Facilitates Florida Assisted Living Sale
Brad Clousing sold a 129 unit Assisted Living Community in St. Petersburg, Florida. The building was originally built as a hotel in 1971. In 1995 it was renovated and converted to an assisted living facility. It was again substantially renovated in 2005. The facility was unable to survive the high leverage placed on it in 2007 and was foreclosed on by the syndicate of lenders. The facility has been closed but the new owners plan on upgrading the building. Because of the large resident rooms, good condition and favorable location, the project will re-open as an ALF. The Buyer is a regional owner/operator of assisted living and has had success with hotel conversions to seniors housing. They plan on investing significant capital to upgrade and rebrand the facility. The demand within the primary market area is very strong and the facility will serve a needed niche. Once it opens, the facility will compete well with other communities in the market and it is anticipated the asset will reach stabilization within 3 years. For additional information, please contact Brad Clousing at 630/858-2501 or firstname.lastname@example.com

Hi. Why has my downloader stopped working on my laptop?
Hi. Why has my downloader stopped working on my laptop?
I am convinced with Hovsep A. Use CCleaner to remove the temp files. Often temp files create issues in the functioning of software. Or you can reinstall and then again install your application.
Oron is right further details are needed if there is error message then supply.
if it is add-on software you can reinstall.
try to clean windows with CCleaner do clean chrome temp files
sometime can be DNS problems,
Good answers above. I would also run " Anti -Malwarebytes" which you can download from CNET. Malware can affect downloaders also, plus this will check to see if there is any other malware lurking on your computer. I also agree with reinstalling and getting a fresh program
Can you give us some more information - what version of Windows are you using, what downloader and what web browser are you using? Also, what actually happened? Did you get an error message or did a download job simply stop in the middle?

A Mercedes-Benz official has announced there won't be a three-cylinder engine powering one of the company's main RWD sedans.
A Mercedes-Benz official has announced there won't be a three-cylinder engine powering one of the company's main RWD sedans.
Although the downsizing era has already begun, Mercedes-Benz's head of engine development Bernhard Heil recently stated at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show a three-cylinder engine will not be installed in the firm's core range of rear-wheel drive cars. This decision was taken because "there are too many compromises, such as refinement and the savings aren't that significant."
Heil does acknowledge Mercedes-Benz has done some experimenting with such engines but loss of refinement and vibrations are just too high especially at lower speeds when fuel savings could be maximized. However, the front-wheel drive A- and B-Class models could gain a three-cylinder gasoline and/or diesel engine in the future, as well as a hybrid configuration by installing an electric motor/generator between the front wheels.
In addition, Mercedes-Benz is also working on a new diesel engine which will have a 1.9- or 2.0-liter capacity making it smaller than the reputable 2.1-liter that powers around 70 percent of all Mercedes-Benz models equipped with a RWD layout.

In recent weeks, analysts have been predicting a Halloween treat from the Federal Open Market Committee, or FOMC,
Federal Open Market Committee
The FOMC consists of 12 members: the seven members of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; and four of the remaining 11 Reserve Bank presidents, who serve one-year terms on a rotating basis. The FOMC holds eight regularly scheduled meetings per year. At these meetings, the committee reviews economic and financial conditions, determines the appropriate stance of monetary policy and assesses the risks to its long-run goals of price stability and sustainable economic growth. in the form of a 25 basis point cut in the federal funds target rateFederal funds target rate
The federal funds target rate is the short-term interest rate that banks charge other banks to borrow money overnight from the Federal Reserve System. The actual rate, or effective rate, changes daily and may be above or below the targeted rate. The FOMC sets the rate at its regularly scheduled meetings but may opt to change it between meetings, should economic conditions warrant a change. . Today, they got it.
But are homeowners who now anticipate lower mortgage rates setting themselves up for disappointment?
"It's impossible to know," says Bob Walters, chief economist for Quicken Loans.
There is no easy answer to how — or even if — the Fed's rate cut will impact fixed-rate mortgages. Fixed-rate mortgages are tied to the 10-year Treasury or other long-term government bond yields.
As a result, these mortgages are more sensitive to changes in overall economic outlook than to Fed rate changes. Fears about inflation or recession, oil-market volatility and other factors sometimes have a greater impact on long-term rates than the Fed.
In fact, Walters says long-term rates were more likely to change before the Fed announced its decision, as bond traders priced in the likelihood of an October cut.
"Many times, the market is ahead of the Fed," he says. "The market gets to react every second of every day. The Fed only gets to react eight times a year."
Usually, long-term rates don't change dramatically after a rate cut unless the Fed's decision surprises the market, Walters says. Because the Fed's quarter-point cut was in line with most expectations, Walters does not expect dramatic changes in mortgage rates. But he admits that it's anybody's guess as to how things actually play out.
"It's possible they could cut rates and long-term rates could go up," Walters says.
One clue to the direction of mortgage rates might be to tune out the talking heads on financial news programs and instead ask a simple question, he says.
"The Fed just did 'X' — what did the bond market do?" Walters says. "The hundreds of thousands of people who buy and sell bonds every day control long-term rates."
In particular, he suggests keeping an eye on the 10-year Treasury rate.
"If that falls, it's likely that mortgage rates will fall," he says.
In contrast, the Fed's decision to cut rates by 25 basis points may have a more predictable impact on adjustable-rate mortgages, with rates falling. Most ARMs are tied to short-term indexes. Short-term indexes are highly sensitive to changes in the federal funds rate.
How soon will the rates decline?
"ARM rates would be quite responsive," says Orawin Velz, director of economic forecasting at the Mortgage Bankers Association in Washington, D.C. "With ARM rates, you'd probably see it pretty soon."
Most adjustable rate mortgages are tied to the performance of one of three major indexes: the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR,
London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR)
LIBOR stands for London Interbank Offered Rate. It's the rate of interest at which banks offer to lend money to one another in the wholesale money markets in London. It is a standard financial index used in U.S. capital markets and can be found in The Wall Street Journal. In general, its changes have been smaller than changes in the prime rate. It's an index that is used to set the cost of various variable-rate loans, including credit cards and adjustable-rate mortgages. the one-year federal Treasury note or the 11th District Cost of Funds Index, or COFI.11th District Cost of Funds Index (COFI)
Short for Cost of Funds Index. A yield index based upon the cost of funds to savings and loan institutions in the San Francisco Federal Home Loan Bank District. It is one of the indexes commonly used to set the rate of adjustable-rate mortgages.
ARMs tied to LIBOR or one-year Treasuries often react more quickly to a rate cut than ARMs tied to the 11th District Cost of Funds.

Topics include Dining Scene, United States: For Foreign Visitors & more!
Situated about halfway between New York City and Albany, Poughkeepsie is a National Heritage Area. Early on the area was home to the Wappinger Indians, part of the Algonquin federation. The name Poughkeepsie comes from the tribe's name for the area, which means "the reed covered lodge by the little-water place." This refers not to the Hudson River, but to a spring just south of the current downtown area.
Founded in 1687, the community became an incorporated village in 1799, and the city was chartered in 1854. Poughkeepsie was the state capital of New York from 1777 through 1783. In 1788, New York State ratified the United States Constitution at the Market Street courthouse.
Early on, the city was a major center for whale rendering, and during the 1800s industry flourished through shipping, hatteries, papermills, and several breweries along the Hudson River, including some owned by Matthew Vassar. Due to the area's natural beauty and proximity to New York City, families such as the Astors, Rogers, Vanderbilts built weekend resorts nearby. The city is also home to the oldest continuously operating entertainment venue in the state, the Bardavon 1869 Opera House.

Great Cleaning Supply Recipes
Check out the great articles on the PYP blog page (http://www.pinchingyourpennies.com/)! There are instructions for making your own laundry detergent, dish soap, dishwasher detergent, cleaning and baby wipes. I love making my own cleaning supplies! I write down the recipes on 3x5 cards and tape them to the inside of the kitchen cupboard by the sink. Whenever I need to make a new batch the recipes are easily accessible. Check out my older post http://tightwadmomsfrugalforum.blogspot.com/2009/12/homemade-disinfecting-cleaner.html for the recipe for multipurpose disinfecting spray. I swear by it.

Every new government in Israel represents a rightward shift in recent years. After the dissolution of Ehud Olmert's centrist government 2009, Israel saw a right-far-right coalition installed, replaced in 2013 by a simply far-right coalition. The new coalition is moving the bar even farther right.
Things have gotten so bad within Israel that one normally hawkish top military affairs commentator on Israel's Channel 2 news urged his children to leave the country, saying he is genuinely afraid for their future, while former defense minister Ehud Barak warned the new government meant Israel is "infected by the seeds of fascism."
Other former officials are lining up almost uniformly to warn that the ouster of the comparatively moderate Moshe Ya'alon in favor of ultra-hawk Avigdor Lieberman marks an historic shift in Israeli politics, and one that's likely to have a particularly damaging impact.
Lieberman has agreed to a backdoor deal with the religious right, agreeing to give the ultra-Orthodox parties he used to antagonize virtual veto power over all religious legislation. Lieberman's previous advocacy for secularism, it seems, had to take a back seat to his military ambitions.
The final deal on this government hasn't totally been reached, but Netanyahu insists it will be reached within the next few days. Lieberman described the talks as "deadlocked," though at present this seems to be an effort to get better terms.

What a great gem hidden away. Plenty of hiking trails, a nice pond for fishing or boating. The trails are amazing and hardly used. Sites are clean and far enough apart that you're not right on top of each other. The bathrooms are clean and the showers are hot. There is even a sink outside for washing your dishes.
The ranger Seth was super cool. He gave me tips about trails and was really helpful. He was soaking wet because he was caught in the rain helping two girls make a fire and set up the tarp he loaned them.
I was one of two sites reserved so it was like I had the place to myself.
has mixed feelings towards this listing.

There are different flavors and welcome for Chinese New Year. However, there are varieties notwithstanding for the most essential "Cheerful New Year!"
China likewise contains numerous tongues, for example, Cantonese, Shanghainese and the Beijing vernacular. What's more, those lingos do exclude the dialects of China's 55 ethnic minorities.
A European researcher once said that if each vernacular locales turned into a different nation, this territory would have a larger number of nations than Europe. Northerners and Southerners can once in a while see one another, despite the fact that the equivalent composed dialect is utilized.
Other than Mandarin (institutionalized Chinese), the most notable Chinese dialect is presumably Cantonese. It's more troublesome for outsiders to learn. English is certifiably not a tonal dialect. Mandarin has 4 tones. Furthermore, Cantonese has 9.
In any case, on the off chance that you wish to learn, "Cheerful New Year" in Cantonese is articulated: san1 nin4 faai3 lok6!
• (chūn jiē kuài lè)
Upbeat Spring Festival in Mandarin.
• ceon1 zit3 faai3 lok6!
Upbeat Spring Festival in Cantonese.
You can likewise say (chūn jiē yú kuài), which utilizes a more formal approach to state "upbeat." In Cantonese, it's: ceon1 zit3 jyu4 faai3
In Cantonese-talking areas, it's more mainstream to state (gung1 hei2 faat3 coi4). This is a gift for riches and success. The expression is likewise utilized in different districts (Mandarin: gong xǐ fā cái). Be that as it may, the Cantonese jump at the chance to state this instead of the standard thing "Glad New Year."
Some more lovely and "propelled" varieties of "Cheerful New Year":
• (gōng hè xīn xǐ)
Strict interpretation: aware congrats on the New Year.
• (xīn chūn zhì xǐ)
Strict interpretation: to record the joy from the new spring.
Bàinián and kowtow
It very well may be said that Chinese culture is dependent on Confucianism. This theory underlines conduct, respectfulness, and regard. Age, status, and rank are instilled in activities. This is particularly clear amid Chinese New Year.
The demonstration of welcome and gift amid Chinese New Year is called (bài nián), which actually intends to visit for the New Years. You should visit the oldest (seniors from the spouse's side) in the family first. Keep in mind to bring endowments!
Consequently, the grandparents and older folks will give the more youthful age red envelopes. The cash in red envelopes is otherwise called (yā suì qián). Actually, it is "cash to grapple the year."
Before, cash was as coins comparative fit as a fiddle to doughnuts. Guardians would utilize red string to integrate the coins and provide for their youngsters. It changed to be enclosed by red paper and now, put into red envelopes.
|Chines New Year money was given to children
By giving the cash to the kids, the older folks are additionally wanting to pass on a time of favorable luck and gifts. In a few areas of China, instead of between ages, wedded couples will give red envelopes to their unmarried companions to exchange some good fortune.
To get this, you should perform 3 kowtows to the seniors.
Kowtow (kē tóu) truly intends to thump your head (against the floor.) Basically, you bow and place your hands on the ground before you. Twist around and rest your head between your hands. This is a definitive show of regard.
Dinner customs
The most vital feast of the year is the New Year's Eve get-together supper. Since the Chinese love treating others to suppers, there will likewise be various different meals all through the occasion.
Regardless of whether it happens at home or in an eatery, the seating course of action is constantly set.
Chines Dinners at home
Dinners at home
In the event that the conventional table is utilized, there will be 4 seats. Every seat 8 individuals.
The oldest sits in the north, confronting the south. At that point in sliding request, individuals are situated in the east, west and finally south. This is because of convictions in fēng shuǐ.
There are allocated situates in each seat also. On the northern seat, the furthest left is the most essential visitor. The correct side is saved for the host.
For the eastern and western seats, the ones closer toward the north are generally more seasoned (or more essential.) It is more easygoing for the southern seat.
Dinners at a restaurant
The roundtables in Chinese eateries more often than not situate 8-12 individuals. In the event that in a private room, the deepest and focused table is saved for the most elevated positions. The host sits on the right, while the most essential visitor sits on the left.
For alternate tables, the seating game plan is the equivalent as at home.
Dinner superstitions and manners
Disney's Mulan was an incredible motion picture. In any case, they committed a grave error.
At whatever point they ate, they would stick the chopsticks straight into their bowl of rice. Never do that, particularly if eating with senior citizens! It would appear that consuming incense to recognize passed progenitors.
Not at all like in the West, it's respectful to keep your elbows on the table while eating. You ought to likewise ensure you eat everything on your plate. In any case, here's a well-disposed tip: in the event that somebody sees your plate unfilled, they'll normally heap on more nourishment. So on the off chance that you don't need this nourishment, endeavor to locate the correct equalization and timing!
Likewise, be set up for some ungainliness. The Chinese have a propensity for making inquiries that may make nonnatives awkward. Most really need to know since they give it a second thought or are concerned. Grandparents and close relatives and uncles will inquire:

Several hundred kilometres separate them, but Adelaide United regard their A-League elimination final against old foe Melbourne Victory next Sunday as a derby.
The sides clash at AAMI Park two days after Melbourne City and Brisbane Roar square off at the same venue, in the other game in the first weekend of finals.
Adelaide and Victory faced off in two of the first four A-League grand finals. both won by the Melbourne club.
They've clashed four times this season with a win apiece and a draw in league combat and Adelaide winning their FFA Cup tie.
"The first (thing) I heard when I came to Australia was 'please win away against Victory,'" Adelaide coach Marco Kurz said.
"I said 'why?'
"They said to me 'it's a derby and I said 'but it's 650 kilometres between the two cities.'
"But now after the three (A-League games) and also the Cup game I understood the rivalry.
"To me, it's a very good quarter final, two strong and good teams."
German midfielder Daniel Adlung, who scored one of his trademark long distance stunnersa in the final round 3-2 away win over Western Sydney on Sunday, has also quickly absorbed the significance of the rivalry.
"The boys told me about the history and thats one of the biggest derbies in Australia and it's always good," Adlung told AAP.
"We expect a big fight. We have to recover and then prepare for the game next Sunday."
.Fellow imports Johan Absalonsen and Papa Baba Diawara are playing more minutes as the finals approach, after each played just 11 of 27 games in the regular season.
"We get more experience back, in this part of the season especially in the finals it's very important," Adlung said.
Kurz said Absalonsen would ready to face Victory despite getting his knee struck by a kick from Wanderers' youngeter Keanu Baccus, who was sent off after the VAR reviewed the incident.
Senegalese striker Diawara, who scored a sublime goal with the outside of his foot from the edge of the area on Sunday was taken off after just an hour., with Kurz saying it would have been risky to play him longer.
Adelaide should have captain and midfielder Isaias back next week.
He was was rested from Sunday's game. presumably because Kurz didn't want to risk him picking up a yellow card that would have got him suspended from the first week of finals.
Kurz said Adelaide felt comfortable playing away, where they have had sx wins as opposed to five at home.

Penn State Football: Third Down, Not Arm Strength, Will Help Determine Quarterback Race
The question isn't really if Sean Clifford or Will Levis can throw the ball.
The question is what they'll do on third down in Columbus.
For Penn State football the Nittany Lions' quarterback competition is as much about what lies between the ears as it is the arms throwing the ball. They can both do that, but only time will tell how well they can read the game, and only time will tell what they might do under pressure.
In the eyes of coach James Franklin, that's the next step any quarterback has to take going from a backup to starter, from a player who has been around the system, but has yet to really play within it.
"I think there is a difference between getting reps in practice and talking about situational football," Franklin said after practice on Wednesday. "How much we talk about four-minute, two-minute, drive-starters, earned first downs, and kind of how they all play out differently and the things that factor into it. There is a difference between talking about all those things and doing it in practice, it's another to be comfortable enough that you're not just out there in the stadium just running plays, you understand why we're running the play."
If Trace McSorley's leadership is the most obvious loss with the quarterback's graduation to the NFL, his eye for the moment is not far behind. McSorley's career may have had its fair share of hiccups, but behind every big play by Saquon Barkley or Mike Gesicki, there was a smart decision by McSorley. Remember that overtime win against Minnesota in 2016? McSorley's long run near the end of regulation set up the game-tying field goal. That's game sense, not arm strength.
And understanding those moments is what Franklin is hoping his quarterbacks learn to do.
"It's third-and-eight across the 50, how [is that] different compared to third-and-eight on the minus-30, things like that," Franklin added. "Early on there are so many things going on in your mind in terms of the play, the defense, that the situation that you're in doesn't always factor in."
"You want to get to the point where you know the play without even thinking about it, you can identify the defense and have a really good awareness in what the situation is. To me that's the big step, there is the one step when the game slows down for you and you can start to anticipate what the defense is going to do and the next step in the development is really understanding situational football and really how to manage it."
The good news for fans hoping to see Sean Clifford come out on top of Penn State's quarterback competition, however much of a competition it might be, Clifford thinks his ability to see what is in front of him, and what is about to happen is one of his strongest assets.
Time will tell if that is in fact the case.
"I would say that visualization and preparation is my biggest strength [mentally]" Clifford told StateCollege.com earlier this summer. "I always think that I'm gonna set myself up to be in the best situation possible when it comes to pretty much anything especially in game situations."
Check back in about two months.
"The biggest difference [between being a backup and starting] is just, I've really got to know what they're going to give me on third-and-three."

If the Mojo SDI and DNA problems are not fixed by July 15th (the update deadline for purchases made after March 17th) will that July 15th deadline be extended so DNA users aren't left in the dust?
Good question...... let me check with corporate marketing on Monday and report back.

Thanks, Marianna. I'd really appreciate it.So they can better understand the situation some of us are facing, here's a little run-down of why it is so important to support the DNA:1) I purchased Avid MC 2.8 (and my Intel 8-Core Mac Pro) just before NAB '08 because I was concerned that Avid might show/announce something radical at NAB that may push Avid out of my budget range.2) I'm in an Avid 24 frame animation project collaborating with others. Since the mojo doesn't work, there is no way to either digitize footage, make tapes, or even see my work on a client monitor!
So that makes my work flow look like this... I have my buddy digitize the tapes on his Media Composer OS9. Then I edit the footage in my MC 2.8. When it's time to output, I have to make a Quicktime from the Avid, then bring it into Final Cut Pro and Compressor to add the pull-up and make the output via firewire and DVCAM deck.So that means my mojo-sdi literally has zero functionality and sits there collecting dust while I do these crazy time-consuming work-arounds.3) To make matters worse, we are now collaborating via the internet and pumping our live edit sessions through Slingbox (slingbox.com). So that means I have to edit in Final Cut Pro for the live sessions, then painstakingly conform the Avid project afterwards so that all our Avid projects and media are working together. Woe is me, I know... but my Mojo is currently 100 percent useless and my amazing avid interface is not feeling so amazing any more.Thanks,Kirk
Srill waiting to hear back so hang tight and I will respond once I know more.
"... but my Mojo is currently 100 percent useless and my amazing avid interface is not feeling so amazing any more."We know what you mean. At my school facility we had no way to view HD footage on Avid except on 2 of our Adrenalines with HD boards.Our only option was to purchase a bunch of Matrox MXO boxes (which only work in presentation mode with Avid but in full quality Mode with FCP After effects etc.)We were hoping Avid would finally get on the ball and support 3rd party hardware but NO. Barring that we were hoping that at least they would write device drivers so 3rd party software could use Avid Hardware even if it required an alternative boot. NO. The Mojo DX is exorbitantly priced for what it does. If I could use it with FCP/ Color/ Motion/ Premier Pro/ Photoshop/After Effects etc etc. I could rationalize the cost. So my facility is slowly squeezing out Avid 10-15 seats at a time.At one time we had 72 seats of Avid, now it's around 44. By this time next year it will be half.
Yeah. I definitely feel your pain. At least you have a more admirable problem... you are trying to view HD! I'm only trying to view lowly standard def. using 14:1 omf
The avid hardware thing may be the death of this company. People just want to use Kona or decklink or anything! They just want to plug and play any old hardware like Final Cut does. I love Avid and the 3.0 software really seems to have addressed all the requests for new tools. But in order to make a living, I need to have an easily upgradable system. Let's hope they figure it all out... and soon.
Kirk Ryad:
If the Mojo SDI and DNA problems are not fixed by July 15th (the update deadline for purchases made after March 17th) will that July 15th deadline be extended so DNA users aren't left in the dust?
Can't you download the upgrade, sit on it until the patch is released, then install it and the patch?
Also, truly annoying, Avid blaming Apple for their firewire problems! Why aren't other companies with firewire based video devices having problems? The Aja IO works with firewire, Motu's v4 and v3 work via firewire.Avid does firewire the wrong way. That's why it doesn't even work with standard firewire decks correctly. Their hardware tries to hog the bus. I bet this won't be a quick fix because it was badly implemented from the outset. When and if there is a fix it will probably result in poorer DNA performance.
That seems like a good idea, but I was afraid it might not be a patch, but rather a whole install. I was also afraid they wouldn't let me download a second time once the problem is fixed.
You have no idea what you are talking about. The data packets Avid sends are completely different from other NLEs. Just one reason the system is so much more capable. the MUCH higher demands revealed a flaw in Apple's bus architecture acknowledged by Cupertino. It will be fixed sooner rather than later.
In agreement, Unity. In Disagreement, Discussion. In all things, Charity.
Kirk Ryad:That seems like a good idea, but I was afraid it might not be a patch, but rather a whole install. I was also afraid they wouldn't let me download a second time once the problem is fixed.
Just to be safe, wait a little and see what Marianna comes up with. She's always on the ball with this sort of thing, and I'm sure she'll have an answer for you in plenty of time.
I just finished a couple of solid days cutting a :30 sec spot on 3.0 running on my 17" MBP 2.33, using an analog Mojo with barely a hiccup.
I had only two error prompts - one was an underrun message and the other a flamethrower. Neither required even a software re-boot. I digitized over FW 400 using a DSR-11. All good so far.
BLKDOG:revealed a flaw in Avid's bus architecture acknowledged by Apple
Hi OZE,
But it seems like you are on a G5 with OS 10.4, right? We're talking about MC. 3.0 not running the Mojo on Leopard (specifically, a Mac Pro Intel 8-core)
