- Season the beef with the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and add to the pot. Cook, stirring, until the beef is browned evenly on all sides, about 4 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, beef broth, garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, red pepper flakes, and beans. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender, about 2 hours. Skim off the fat that rises to the surface.
- Open each bag of corn chips and remove half of the chips. Spoon 1/2 cup of the chili and 1 tablespoon of the cheese into each bag. Return the remaining chips to each bag and add another 1/2 cup of the chili, another tablespoon of the cheese, 1 tablespoon of the sour cream, and 1 tablespoon of the jalapeño to each one. Eat right out of the bag.

Tigers-Giants Preview
While Pablo Sandoval didn't play a big part in the San Francisco Giants' World Series run two years ago, he's already left his mark on this one.
After becoming the fourth player to hit three home runs in a World Series game, all eyes will be on Sandoval as the Giants host the Detroit Tigers in Game 2 on Thursday night.
Sandoval took Justin Verlander deep twice before belting a solo shot off Al Alburquerque, leading San Francisco to an 8-3 win Wednesday in Game 1. The two-time All-Star joined Babe Ruth, Reggie Jackson, and Albert Pujols as the only players with three-homer games in the Series, finishing the night 4 for 4 with four RBIs.
"Man, I still can't believe it," said Sandoval, who was benched in four of five games during the Giants' 2010 World Series win over Texas. "You have to keep focused, keep focused and playing your game. You don't have to be too excited. The series is not over. You have to keep playing your game.
"I didn't get a chance to play too much (in 2010). I'm enjoying this World Series. I'm enjoying all my moments."
Sandoval will look to stay hot against Doug Fister, who hasn't received a decision despite compiling a 1.35 ERA in two postseason starts. In his most recent outing, the right-hander allowed six hits and four walks over 6 1-3 scoreless innings of a 6-4, 12-inning road win over the New York Yankees in Game 1 of the ALCS.
A native of Merced, California, Fister has never faced the Giants. Marco Scutaro, batting .432 during an 11-game hitting streak, is San Francisco's only active player with any experience against Fister, going 1 for 11 in their matchups.
"Growing up, don't tell anybody, I was a Giants fan, and being able to come to a couple games when I was little, it's always been a dream and a goal for me, and now it's happening," Fister, 2-0 with a 1.75 ERA over four career playoff starts, said of playing in a World Series by the Bay.
"It's definitely special being able to come into the ballpark and play in a World Series is something that obviously is a moment that will never be forgotten."
The Giants counter with Madison Bumgarner (0-2, 11.25 ERA), who's struggled this postseason.
After giving up four runs in 4 1-3 innings of a 9-0 loss to Cincinnati in Game 2 of the NL division series, the left-hander was tagged for six runs and eight hits over 3 2-3 innings of a 6-4 loss to St. Louis in Game 1 of the NLCS.
"I think we were going through some mechanical issues that - just some small things that might have affected my arm and made it more difficult to throw, and I think that's really all it was," he said.
"I think we've got it fixed. Like I said before, there's no way to tell 100 percent until you get out there and get going game speed. But hopefully that's all it was. But regardless, whether the velocity is up (Thursday) or down or whatever, still got to find a way to make pitches and compete, keep us in the game."
Bumgarner was, in contrast, very sharp during the 2010 postseason, going 2-0 with a 2.18 ERA over four games - three starts. He threw eight innings of three-hit ball during a 4-0 win at Texas in Game 4 of that World Series.
In his only career appearance against Detroit, Bumgarner gave up one run, five hits and struck out nine over 7 1-3 innings but didn't factor in the decision of a 4-3 road win July 1, 2011.
The Giants, who trailed St. Louis 3-1 before storming back to win the pennant, have won their last four games by a 28-4 margin. San Francisco is hitting .316 with runners in scoring position during that stretch after going 4 for 6 Wednesday.
"I'm a guy that doesn't believe in momentum in baseball," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "I think momentum is your next day's pitcher."
Detroit had outscored opponents 25-6 during a five-game run prior to Wednesday's defeat. Jhonny Peralta connected on a two-run homer and Triple Crown-winner Miguel Cabrera went 1 for 3 with an RBI.
The winner in Game 1 of the World Series has gone on to win the championship 66 of 107 times.

Royals sign veteran backstop Ramon Hernandez to Minor League deal
KANSAS CITY, MO - The Kansas City Royals announced today that the club has signed veteran catcher Ramon Hernandez to a minor league contract for 2014. The Royals plan to announce all of the club's Major League camp non-roster invitees at a later date.
Hernandez, 37, has spent 15 seasons in the Majors Leagues and is a career .263 hitter with a .327 on-base and a .417 slugging percentage for Oakland (1999-2003), San Diego (2004-05), Baltimore (2006-08), Cincinnati (2009-11), Colorado (2012) and the Los Angeles Dodgers (2013). His 757 RBI since the start of the 1999 season rank fifth among Major League catchers in that time, while his 169 homers are seventh-most among big league backstops. He played in 17 games for the Dodgers in 2013, batting .208 (10-for-48) with two doubles, three homers and six RBI, before being released on June 22.
An All-Star in 2003, Hernandez hit .273 in 140 games that season for the A's, belting 21 homers and collecting 78 RBI, helping the team to its fourth-straight postseason appearance. He collected a career-high 23 homers and 91 RBI in 2006, his first year with the Orioles. Hernandez has participated in six postseason series, reaching the playoffs with Oakland (2000-03), San Diego (2005) and Cincinnati (2010).

The New Yorker reported the factory's role behind the scenes with the Manhattan Project earlier this week, and according to records, the plant was once used for nuclear weapons research and development in the early 1940's.
It was also a major source for radioactive thorium, a byproduct of rare earth metals discarded in nearby sewers for years at the site at the corner of Cooper and Irving Avenues.
This practice went on from 1947 until 1954, in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission.
Although it was reported that the Department of Energy notified New York City of the contamination in 1987, it took until 2014, following multiple flawed surveys, that the EPA proposed the site for the Superfund list.
So why did it take from 1954 until 2009 for the EPA to take actionable interest in the site?
Moreover, how should the city respond to the residents and business owners in the surrounding neighborhood, many of whom were most likely unaware of their potential exposure to the harmful radiation?
Dangerous radiation levels threaten nearby residents and workers with heightened risk of lung, pancreatic and bone cancers, as well as liver damage – common issues connected to exposure to radioactive thorium, according to EPA Regional Administrator Judith Enck.
And with PS/IS 384 located only a block away from the site and leaking radioactive gas from a hole in an unused storage area for the school for who knows how long, the lack of public outreach, health screening and treatment becomes especially pronounced.
While the agency has not yet determined exactly how it will spend Superfund dollars on the site, one thing is clear: the focus should go beyond site's decontamination. The people of Ridgewood and Bushwick deserve to know in explicit detail exactly what the possible consequences of this long-term radiation problem could be.
At the very least, they deserve free access to full medical screening and any treatments that they may be in need of resulting from exposure.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Trailing 12-11 with one minute remaining in overtime, the No. 6 Notre Dame women's lacrosse team scored two goals in 30 seconds to stun Rutgers, 13-12, and improve to 8-0 on the season and 2-0 in BIG EAST play.
After Rutgers Kristin Kochor scored the tying goal with 15 seconds left in regulation to force overtime, Brittany Davis gave the Scarlet Knights the lead with a score at the 2:49 mark of overtime.
Despite playing in their first overtime game of the season, the Irish didn't panic on defense with only two minutes to go. Freshman Barbara Sullivan forced a huge turnover and picked up the ensuing ground ball to give Notre Dame an opportunity to tie the score. The Irish sprinted down the field and senior Tewaaraton Award candidate Maggie Tamasitis dished to junior Jenny Granger who planted the equalizer in the back of the net with 59 seconds remaining.
After a draw control by senior Kate Newall gave the Irish the ball once last time, Tamasitis delivered the game-winner to sophomore Margaret Smith with just 22 seconds left in the game. One final draw control by B. Sullivan allowed the Irish to run out the clock and claim the thrilling victory.
Sophomore Lindsay Powell tallied four goals to pace the Irish. She has now scored at least two goals in all eight games, including three or more in seven contests. Tamasitis scored and dished for Notre Dame, finding the back of the net twice, while handing out three assists. Junior Jaimie Morrison also chipped in with a pair of goals to give the Irish three multi-goal scorers on the day.
Junior goalie Ellie Hilling went the distance for the Irish, stopping six shots to pick up her eighth win on the year.
The Irish were especially dominant on draw controls on the day, holding a 18-11 advantage including the key ones in overtime. Smith had six draw controls, while Newall collected five.
The game opened slowly much to the liking of the Scarlet Knights, as they controlled the pace to try and contain the high-scoring Irish. It worked for awhile, as neither team found the back of the net in the first 10 minutes. Rutgers held a 3-1 lead with 12:49 remaining in the first half when Notre Dame went to work, scoring six consecutive goals to take a 7-3 lead with 24:00 minutes left in the game.
Rutgers steadily crept back into the contest cutting it to a goal on two occasions to eventually setup Kochor's equalizer.
The Irish improve to 8-0, which is the best start to a season since 2004 and the second-best start in program history. The '04 team opened 10-0 and advanced to the NCAA Tournament.
Tamasitis improved her consecutive games with a point streak to 45 with her five-point performance. She has scored five or more points in six of the eight games this season.
With 30 helpers so far this year, Tamasitis sits sixth on the Notre Dame single-season list. The Boyertown, Pa., product has now etched her name on the top-10 list three times in her career and sits 16 away from tying her school record of 46, which she set last season, with eight regular season games to go.
Morrison has six multi-goal games this year and 18 goals total.
Powell's hat trick gives her 27 goals for the year, which is tops on the team.

Sycamore Park District officials announced their purchase of 25 acres of land across from the sports complex on Airport Road at a press conference Saturday afternoon.
The land acquisition was the next step in the Vision 2020 plan to expand the park district's amenities over the next five years. The plan used results from surveys, public meetings, and a strategic planning team to come up with seven key facilities for construction and improvements. At least four of those — a new community center, dog park, splash pad and sledding hill — will be located on the new site.
"Many of the things [the community wanted] they were actually leaving the area to go and enjoy because we didn't offer them here," park commissioner Michelle Schulz said. "So based on that list, there was a need for the space. And we looked at a whole variety of different options and realized that this made the most sense."
The new site was selected for its location directly to the east of the current sports complex, which will locate all of the key facilities in a single campus, and for the important fact that it is not in a flood plain.
"I think 80 percent of the property across the street is under flood plain," said park commissioner Bill Kroeger. "In the spring time when we have the heavy rains, a lot of the ball diamonds and soccer fields are under water. The [Department of Natural Resources] will not allow us to make any improvements … so we basically have to get out of the property."
The new property was purchased a couple of weeks ago for $450,000 from the Ernie Carls family through a Resource Bank loan. Park board President Ted Strack is a commercial lender for Resource Bank in DeKalb.
The sledding hill, which may be built with the dirt from the construction of the community center, will replace the old hill that used to be near the property but was taken down years ago in order to construct a well.
"The sledding hill was one of the things [the community] told us they missed … The park district should offer fun that you can do year round. We've not been able to take care of the winter months," Schulz said.
The park board hopes to fund Vision 2020 projects through state grants for which they've already applied, public fundraising, donations with future naming opportunities, and probably, eventually, a tax referendum.
Chris Hughes, a Sycamore resident who was enjoying the warmer weather at Charley Laing Memorial Park on Saturday with his wife, Alicia, and their two dogs, said that getting people informed about the park district's plans is half the battle. They are most excited about the new dog park, as there isn't one close to them now.
"Now that I'm informed, it sounds pretty cool," Hughes said. "It sounds like a good location. I'm definitely willing to support it any way I can. Absolutely."
The public is invited to "An Evening with the Park District," from 5 to 7 p.m. April 11 at the DeKalb County Community Foundation building, 475 DeKalb Ave. in Sycamore, to celebrate the Sycamore Park District's progress and kick off fundraising for the 2020 Vision projects. Beer, wine and hors d'oeuvres will be served at the 21-and-over event and music will be provided by Black Tie Trio.

Stable cell lines play an important role in the study of recombinant protein preparation, antibody preparation, drug screening, gene function and other aspects. The stable cell lines can continue to grow, and express foreign gene. Changing the copy number and promoter activity can regulate the expression level of exogenous gene in target cells, which makes it increase, decrease, or equal to the endogenous gene' expression amount of target cells. Insert modes of exogenous genes can be divided into random insertion or fixed position insertion.
Creative Biogene is now providing stable cell lines construction service for the majority of researchers. We use the most advanced technology, to provide a stable cell line with high quality for you. The construction service can use CHO, HEK293, Hela, NIH3T3 and other tools, or use specific cells designed by customers. From cloning construction, cell line establishment, gene amplification, monoclonal screening, cell line identification, functional research, a full range of experimental options, researchers can meet the scientific research needs of protein expression, gene silencing and so on.
Select the Cas9 mammalian stable cell line construction service at Creative Biogene, you can:
1. Free choice of gene insertion mode
2. Free selection of cloning vector

Like most people who love to cook, I have an ongoing list of dishes I'd like to make one day. My list consists of various items found in magazines and cookbooks, classics that I have yet to tackle (like osso bucco and fresh pasta), things that I've eaten in restaurants that I want to recreate at home, and old family favorites. Now that I'm an adult I realize how fortunate I am to come from a family that loves food. My paternal grandparents were wonderful cooks. Because of them and their love for preparing delicious meals for their family, I really do appreciate a good home-cooked meal and homemade desserts.
My grandma's coffee crunch cake is one of those family favorites that I've wanted to make for quite some time now. I think it might have been one of the best things I ate as a child. Who wouldn't like a three layer cake covered in whipped cream and toffee? I know I've mentioned my grandma and her amazing baking before, but I just cannot say it enough – she was everyone's favorite baker in her day. And now that she's well into her 80's, she's become my favorite taster. If she says likes something that I've made, I know in my heart I've got a winner on my hands because she is not the kind of woman who just throws around compliments, especially when it comes to food.
A few weeks ago, while having dinner with Grandma, I mentioned that I wanted to make her coffee crunch cake and asked if she still had the recipe. To my surprise she said she did (my mom always talks about the way Grandma could bake without even measuring ingredients so I fear that some recipes will be lost forever). And then she mentioned Blum's. I didn't realize what she was saying at first but then it became clear to me; the coffee crunch cake that I grew up with was actually an adaptation of Blum's famous coffee crunch cake. Blum's was a bakery in the heart of San Francisco's Union Square (there were other Blum's shops around San Francisco and also in Berkeley and Palo Alto). It was the kind of place where people would go after a long day of shopping at Macy's or I. Magnin (the ladies who lunch set of those days likely frequented Blum's). My grandma was born and raised in San Francisco and I can imagine her and my Great-Auntie Teiko going to Blum's and eating coffee crunch cake. Unfortunately, Blum's closed in the 70's but their famous cake lives on in a few bakeries in San Francisco, including Yasukochi's Sweet Stop in Japantown.
A few days after our dinner, I had a photocopied newspaper clipping with Blum's recipe in my possession. After reviewing the recipe I realized that the individual elements of the cake are quite simple – sponge cake, whipped cream and a toffee like topping. Together, however, they create the most magnificent confection. It is the perfect combination of light, airy, creamy, crunchy and sticky with just the faintest lemony vanilla flavor. This cake is what the sweetest of dreams are made of. It's the kind of cake that would've inspired a Wayne Thiebaud painting, full of old world charm and elegance. When I brought the cake to our last family dinner, I can't describe to you how pleased my grandma was – she said she couldn't believe I made it. I could see the pride on her face when everyone ooh'd and ahhh'd as it was being served. It was a delightful experience, for myself and for all of the other coffee crunch cake fans. As Grandma says, it was just delicious.
blum's coffee crunch cake
from Flo Braker
serves 10-12
1 -1/4 cups cake flour, sifted
1-1/2 cups sugar, divided
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 egg yolks
1/4 cup water
1 cup egg whites (6-8 large eggs)
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
coffee crunch topping:
unflavored vegetable oil
1 tablespoon baking soda, sifted
1/4 cup strong brewed coffee
1-1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
for the cake:
Adjust rack in the lower third of oven; preheat to 350°F. Sift flour, 3/4 cup sugar, and salt onto a sheet of wax paper; set aside.
Using an electric mixer, beat egg yolks with 1/4 cup sugar until thick and pale yellow. Add water and beat until thickened, about 4 minutes.
Whisk egg whites in bowl of a heavy-duty mixer just until frothy. Add cream of tartar; whisk until soft peaks form. Add remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a steady stream, whisking until thicker, stiffer, glossy peaks form – about 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in vanilla, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Pour yolk mixture over whites. Fold together with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle a third of the flour mixture over the egg mixture; fold to combine. Repeat two more times just until ingredients are incorporated. Gently pour batter into an ungreased 10-inch round tube pan with a removable bottom (such as an angel food pan). Level top with a spatula.
Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until top springs back slightly when lightly touched. Invert pan over a long-necked bottle to cool for about 45 minutes.
To remove cake from pan, slip a flexible metal spatula down one side of pan; slowly trace perimeter to release the cake. When sides are free, push up on bottom to release cake. Tilt cake with removable bottom still attached, and gently tap bottom against counter to loosen cake. Rotate cake, tapping a few more times, until it appears free. Cover cake with a rack and invert; remove bottom of pan.
for the coffee crunch topping:
Generously oil a large baking sheet or line with a silicon mat or parchment paper; sift baking soda onto a sheet of wax paper; set nearby.
Combine coffee, sugar and corn syrup in a heavy, 4-quart saucepan. Place over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves. When mixture is clear and begins to boil, increase heat to medium-high; cook until mixture reaches 290°F on a candy thermometer. Toward end of cooking (around 270°-280°), stir occasionally to prevent mixture from scorching and becoming too foamy. Remove from heat and stir in baking soda (mixture will foam up fiercely). While still foaming, pour out onto prepared baking sheet. Do not spread; let cool undisturbed for at least 1 hour.
Crush into very small pieces. (Place between two sheets of wax paper or inside a freezer size ziplock bag and tap with a rolling pin). Store in an airtight container.
for the frosting:
Combine cream, sugar and vanilla. Whisk until cream holds soft peaks.
to assemble:
Slice cooled cake into 3 equal layers using a serrated knife. Spread whipped cream between each layer, carefully stacking layers. Spread remaining whipped cream over the top and sides of cake. Refrigerate.
Just before serving, generously sprinkle top and sides with the coffee crunch.
***Update 6/10/2012: I hadn't revisited this post in over two years and just realized that there was a discrepancy in the instructions involving the amounts of sugar being added to the cake batter. It has been corrected. Huge apology to anyone that experienced issues with this.

The amount of interest in data centers and data center networking continues to grow. For the past decade plus, the most savvy Internet companies have been focusing on infrastructure. Essentially, planetary scale services such as search, social networking, and e-commerce require a tremendous amount of computation and storage. When operating at the scale of tens of thousands of computers and petabytes of storage, small gains in efficiency can result in millions of dollars of annual savings. On the other extreme, efficient access to tremendous amounts of computation can enable companies to deliver more valuable content. For example, Amazon is famous for tailoring web page contents to individual customers based on both their history and potentially the history of similar users. Doing so while maintaining interactive response times (typically responding in less than 300 ms) requires fast, parallel access to data potentially spread across hundreds or even thousands of computers. In an earlier post, I described the Facebook architecture and its reliance on clustering for delivering social networking content.
Over the last few years, academia has become increasingly interested in data centers and cloud computing. One reason is the opportunity for impact; it is clear, that the entire computing industry is undergoing another paradigm shift. Five years from now, it is clear that the way we build out computing and storage infrastructures will be radically different. Another allure of the data center is the fact that it is possible to do "clean slate" research and deployment. One frustration of the networking research community has been the inability to deploy novel architectures and protocols because of the need to be backward compatible and friendly to legacy systems. Check out this paper for an excellent discussion. In the data center, it is at least possible to deploy entirely new architectures without the need to be compatible with every protocol developed over the years.
Of course, there are difficulties with performing data center research as well. One is having access to the necessary infrastructure to perform research at scale. With companies deploying data centers at the scale of tens of thousands of computers, it is difficult for most universities and even research labs to have access to the necessary infrastructure. In our own experience, we have found that it is possible to consider problems of scale even with a relatively modest number of machines. Research infrastructures such Emulab and OpenCirrus are open compute platforms that provide significant amount of computing infrastructure to the research community.
Another challenge is the lack of software infrastructure for performing data center research, particularly in networking. Eucalyptus provides an EC2-compatible environment for cloud computing. However, there is a relative void of available research software for research in networking. Rebuilding every aspect of the protocol stack before performing research in fundamental algorithms and protocols is a challenge.
To partially address this shortcoming, we are release an alpha version of our PortLand protocol. This work was published in SIGCOMM 2009 and targets delivering a unified Layer 2 environment for easier management and support for basic functionality such as virtual machine migration. I discussed our work on PortLand in an earlier post here and some of the issues of Layer 2 versus Layer 3 deployment here.
The page for downloading PortLand is now up. It reflects the hard work of two graduate students in my group, Sambit Das and Malveeka Tewari, who took our research code and ported it HP ProCurve switches running OpenFlow. The same codebase runs on NetFPGA switches as well. We hope the community can confirm that the same code runs on a variety of other OpenFlow-enabled switches. Our goal is for PortLand to be a piece of the puzzle for a software environment for performing research in data center networking. We encourage you to try it out and give us feedback. In the meantime, Sambit and Malveeka are hard at work in adding Hedera functionality for flow scheduling for our next code release.

We are a few weeks to the unveiling of the new Leaf.
Bolt is not among my choices. I didn't even know except for the lack of adaptive cruise control, that its features were spartan (but range is quite good and something we likely need for a 130-140 mile commute once a week -- we live in Canada so there's winter to consider). I am not gravitating toward anything but I did put down a reservation deposit for a Model 3 with estimated delivery of late 2018 so plenty of time to look at other BEVs.
I don't need to be driving fast and furious so I don't need the Model 3's 5.6 0-60 and it seems a lot of Leaf are quite satisfied except for the battery degradation issues. The Leaf with the hatchback seems also more practical and packages are not as expensive as the Model 3's.
Besides price differential, potential drive unit issues, a few minor ones, and reliance on Service Centers to service and repair Tesla vehicles, what is making your gravitate towards the next gen Leaf?

Brutal winter storms keep generator company busy
Generac Power Systems officials said they are busy loading up generators for people along the East Coast without power.
Officials said that since the last storm on the East Coast, orders have been coming in nonstop.
VIDEO: Generac helping to provide power on East Coast
Generac reported fourth quarter sales increases of 10 percent from 2012 to 2013. The company reported sales of $376.2 million in the last three months of 2013.
ABC News reports more than 555,000 homes and businesses were without power because of this latest storm. The hardest hit areas are in South Carolina, Georgia and North Carolina.
"We're trying to get people the relief that they need to be able to power their home and run their lives as close to normal as possible," said Tim Hearden of Generac.
Generac is also considering sending a ground crew to help, but it said that depends on how long and how many people remain without power.
Generac's headquarters are located in Waukesha. The company also has facilities in Whitewater, Eagle, Jefferson and Oshkosh.

Today has been divided between multiple tasks on two different projects. I've already talked about my viking food culture project here, but my other job relates to a community archaeology project I've been involved in with my colleague (and wife) Aleks McClain.
For the last few years, we have been assisting the local community of the village of Helpston in west Cambridgeshire as they investigate the history and archaeology of their area. Helpston is most famous as the birthplace of John Clare, a 19th-century agricultural labourer, who went in to become arguably England's greatest rural poet. However, on the edge of Helpston village lies Torpel Manor Field: an enigmatic series of earthworks that has been little explored. The site is a Scheduled Ancient Monument, and as the remains of an Anglo-Norman ringwork, represents one of the first fortifications constructed in the area following the Norman Conquest. However, it is clear that the site is a more complicated, multi-phase phenomenon than this.
The site is stewarded by the Langdyke Countryside Trust, who have successfully won Heritage Lottery Funding to care for the site as both a heritage monument and a wildlife preserve. We have been working the the Trust, leading to the foundation of the Helpston History and Archaeological Group, assisting them in topographic and geophysical survey across the site, and in providing information for display in their newly constructed on-site Interpretation Centre. The group have also undertaken fieldwalking and testpitting at a number of sites across the village, as well as engaging in extensive documentary and archive research.
Earthwork and magnetometry survey at Torpel Manor Field. Note the mound in the south of the earthwork survey, the complex of perimeter ditches and banks, and a number of outlying structures and building platforms to the north. Geophysics has demonstrated that many of these earthworks conceal the remains of walls and robbing trenches, as well as identifying a number of previously unsuspected features.
As a result of all this work, a number of gaps in the village's history are starting to be filled in, so that Helpston is no longer thought of solely as the home of John Clare, and a narrative can now be written that extends from later prehistory, via the Norman Conquest, through to the present day. There will be numerous academic outputs from this work, but right now we are working on the production of a popular-interest book that explores the biography of Torpel's landscape. We hope to self-publish this within the year, and this afternoon was a busy and productive editorial meeting involving myself and Aleks.
Hard at work on the Torpel Story….
I'm not going to give away our findings here, but keep your eye out for further updates later in the year.
Check out our project here (we have a new website in development, to be linked from the same site).

Fatdog64-710 Final [4 Dec 2016]
Subject description: All 64-bit
Fatdog64-720 Beta has been released
720 Post-release Notes for 710 Final users
NOTE : Fatdog64 710 and 720 shares the same repository. When 720 is released, some older packages for 710 will be overwritten with 720's ones. While 720 is based on the same base as 710 and thus has a high-degree of compatibility, some packages and structures have changed between the two versions and there is a chance that an updated package meant for 720 will not work (or will not work properly) in 710.
Hence, from now onwards, if you wish to keep using 710, please refrain from further updates. If you still want to update, please do so in the sandbox first to test and ensure that the updated packages will work; before committing to your main savefile/savefolder.
NOTE 2: it is safe to update the kernels.
The Fatdog Team (Kirk, James and SFR) with lots of help from step, are happy to announce the final version of Fatdog64 710.
Post-release errata
Libreoffice is missing some icons.
To fix it, please download images_tango.zip from
, and the copy the file to /usr/lib64/libreoffice/share/config (overwriting the original images_tango.zip).

For New Users / Users from Fatdog64 702 or earlier versions:
Fatdog64-710 is a major update built from source, with new packages and new build system.
It was in parallel development with 700 branch as early as Feb 2015. The 710 alpha was first released on April 2016.
The major change between 700 and 710 branch is 710 branch now supports 32-bit compatibility library natively. Earlier Fatdogs used libraries taken from either Puppy Slacko or Puppy Wary to support 32-bit applications; Fatdog 710 now builds its own 32-bit libraries from source as part of the operating system build. The acid test for this is building WINE: Fatdog 710 is now able to build WINE 64-bit and 32-bit natively without borrowing third party binary libraries. In the interest of size, 32-bit libraries are not included in the basesfs and is separated in an SFS package (32bit_fd64.sfs) which you can download using SFS manager or manually, just like earlier versions, however.
Fatdog 710 branch is part of 700 series, and as such as we expect a high-degree of compatibility betwen them. Some packages may not work due to inevitable library updates; but in general most of them should.
New Features:
- Native 32-bit libs
- Libreoffice suit replaces abiword, gnumeric
- Libreoffice comes with English spell checkers, check repo for other languages and offline help files.
- rc.sysinit: ability to load extrasfs even from unmounted device (by specifying device: prefix). These SFS can be loaded to RAM too. This enables fully savefile-less operations.
- rc.sysinit now supports loading extrasfs from device/label/uuid;
- fatdog-initrd: basesfs now accepts ram/expand parameter (deprecating base2ram)
- posixovl support enabling full POSIX filesystem features on FAT-based savedir.
- xattr enabled for all file systems
- Faster startup for Rox filer (remove gethostbyname)
- Simpler, and more accurate drive icons
- Default actions for various images updated to be more consistent. All of them will run defaultimageviewer.
- Fotoxx moved out of basesfs. Default image viewer is now viewnior.
- rox-filer-jun7
replaces legacy rox-filer
- Update is too numerous to list, because the system is totally rebuild with new set of base packages. Listed below is just a subset recorded from 710 alpha onwards to give you an indication of what have changed.
- Linux 4.4.35

Fatdog64-710 does not update from any earlier versions
, but if you are a 710beta2 users, it may be possible to keep your existing savefile/savedir and update just by copying over the new "vmlinuz" and "initrd" extracted from the 710 Final ISO.
Get it from the usual location in
or one of its mirrors:
(Mirrors may take time to replicate the copies).
SFS-es are here:
and on ibiblio's mirrors too.
In another thread, for those who like to do a custom build of Fatdog64, the package list and the ISO builder for 710 final have been released as well.

Various tidbits:
1. For those of you who love Firefox: Firefox requires GTK3. To be able to run it, you need to install GTK3 packages first from the repo; and then attempt to run Firefox from the menu.
2. Alternatively, you can install firefox-gtk2 package from the repo. This is our own build of Firefox that runs on GTK2, but it will not auto-update to newer versions.
3. Palemoon is also available from the repo if you prefer to use.
4. All will play html5 video from youtube; but for palemoon you need to install gstreamer2 and gst2-plugins packages from the repo.
5. If you love Chrome, just launch it from the menu and you will be redirected on how to automatically download the latest version and install it. It will also create a TXZ package for you (in /root), which you can keep for future installation (or on another machines).
6. The libreoffice built into the basesfs is our own build and is cut-down. If you need to use the full version, open a terminal, and run "getlibre.sh". This will download and create an SFS, which you can keep and load for future usage. Loading Libreoffice SFS created this way will override the built-in libreoffice.
Fun stats:
- There are 1063 commits from first commit of 710 branch until the final release.
- 710 branch was created in Feb 2015, and was in parallel development with 700 branch for a year until 702 was released on Feb 2016 (on which the 700 branch was retired)
- 700 branch was based on LFS 7.5. 710 branch was based on CLFS 3.0, which is halfway between LFS 7.5 and 7.6.
- Fatdog has gone full circle. The very first Fatdog (see here:
) had OpenOffice included. Fatdog 710 now has LibreOffice (fork of OpenOffice) included again.

New to Fatdog64?
FAQs/Documentation can be found on Fatdog64's Seamonkey home page and online
Installing Fatdog64:
Besides burning the iso to a cd/dvd you can install Fatdog64 to a flash drive. If you only want to boot on computers with BIOS, then use the Fatdog64 installer found in the Control Panel. If you want your flash drive to boot on both BIOS and UEFI computers see
For hard drive installation instructions see
If you've already got a bootloader installed with a ext2/3/4 partition, and want to get started quickly you can add a bootloader entry like this:
title Fatdog64-710
rootnoverify (hd0,2)
kernel /710/vmlinuz savefile=direct:device:sda3:/710/fd64save
initrd /710/initrd
The example above is for Grup legacy, but others are similar. Fatdog64 consists of only two files the kernel (vmlinuz) and the initrd. The savefile is optional, but you'll no doubt want it since that is where all of your changes to the filesystem go.
In the example above I have folder in the root of partition sda3 named 710. Inside the 710 folder I have the files vmlinuz and initrd from the Fatdog64 iso. Also inside the 710 folder I have created another folder named fd64save. Again, this example is only for Linux file systems. There are many other ways to boot Fatdog64, for full details see the links above.
Note: Fatdog64 should boot very quickly from a hard drive. If you experience slow boots this is probably due to a problem with the bootloader. Some bootloaders are VERY slow at reading ext4. You may not notice it much with a traditional Linux distro where the bootloader only has to load 10MB of data, but normally Fatdog64 is wanting it to load 360MB of data. Here are a couple solutions to this problem:
1) Create a small ext3 partition for Fatdog64's vmlinuz and initrd. The savefile/folder can be on a different partition, even ext4. Gparted can be found in the control panel.
2) Remove the fd64.sfs file from the initrd. The fd64.sfs is the main filesystem and most of the size. Fatdog64's initrd will then load the fd64.sfs instead of the bootloader. You'll have to specify the basesfs parameter as well. See

Duplicated from beta thread:
Wow! Early Christmas present - many thanks, jb/fd.
Truly a milestone for Linux & Puppy,
inter alia
.The mirrors don't seem to have it yet - probably later today, so I've entered the long wait with ibiblio. Later.
Will you be in time for tomorrow's DWW?
Later: Is it working? Oh, yes - sound, vision & connection OOTB. Fantastic!

Hi friend, the mirror sites sometimes take 24 hrs to show download links.
ibiblio is always the first one to show updates, although it's slower than others in download speed.

After burning an ISO on Ubuntu (a sort of very, very fat big dog) by having to try three different burners (eventually kb3 worked) . . .
I eventually got a fat dog running - straight in and working BUT I had to configure the eth0 with the unfamiliar network config tool from the FatDog64 Control Panel.
The control panel is excellent.
As is FatDog,
very impressive
Sound working for Armagetron Advanced fun game . . .
I tried to read my Canon Camera SD card with a USB SD reader but the SDC1 (I think it was) only came up once - same problem on Ubuntu . . .
Distrowatch still not recognizing FatDog as a distinct distro - what are they - slackers
I was quite intrigued with the Cloud Drive program. Not seen that before. Seems very simple and potentially useful for those so inclined . . .
Be interested if the Touch screen support works.
Under 'Utilities' in the menu 'Engrampa appears twice . . .
For the Puppy user there is a great deal of familiarity. Speed due to loading into memory, fast efficient, working programs, Seamonkey browser, Rox etc . . .
Bravo guys. Great Distro. Many thanks.

Now running off 710 final. Not surprisingly it looks a lot like 710b2. Smooth release.
No real problems, but then I created a new save file rather than use my existing one.
I now have my usual choice of three browsers: Seamonkey, Firefox, Google-chrome. Still using Sylpheed for text email.
While making the all-important selection of new wallpaper, (so I don't get confused about which system I'm on,) I ran into something which suggests modern misunderstanding about the Apollo program.

@Lobster - nice. Glad to have you back.
@Buddy - menu entries: didn't see that; but I suppose it's not critical. We'll fix it next time.
@prehistoric - wallpaper: now that's a good one
@Buddy - savefile: you must be using encrypted savefile. That's normal.
Long explanation: encrypted savefile is now done via dm-crypt instead of loop devices. Loop devices don't show up in desktop because we exclusively filter them out, but we don't want to filter "dm" devices because dm devices are used not only by dm-crypt, but also LVM, etc.

I can not find the online version of the FAQS but they are provided with FatDog and worth reading before asking silly questions . . . which I shall now do. [ahem]
- Could I use Secondlife which only supports 32bit wth 84bit Fatdog or do I need to add some extra files, which I noticed in the package manager?
- Do Seamonkey, Chrome and Firefox all use the same base code. If so what alternative browser is recommended as more secure?
- Is Mono available?
- Openshot?
Thanks to JamesBond and other Fatdoggian developers. Need to get up to speed after using Ubuntu which needs some Puppy streamlining to speed it up. I hope to try Barrys Quirky at some point and the new Slack Puppy when out.
I am a bit wary of installing Fatdog to a spare hard drive as last time (installing the Slacko64) it messed with the Ubuntu MBR and boot file (no doubt my mistake)
Openbox is better implemented than the JWM Window manager. I found it familiar and intuitive.
VLC worked perfectly.
I will be using composer in Seamonkey for HTML editing to further my plans to build a time machine (keeps me out of trouble)

Quad bike deaths spark safety call
AN URGENT need to improve the safety of quad bikes has been raised by Employment Minister Bill Shorten after 15 deaths on the bikes this year.
The minister has recently released key findings from a discussion paper on what needs to be done to improve quad bikes sold in Australia.
Among proposed changes is the need for crush protection devices attached to quad bikes, as well as mandatory use of helmets.
The proposals come after years of debate in regional and rural communities about the merits of roll cages and other safety devices.
Mr Shorten said the designers and manufacturers of quad bikes needed to improve design to minimise rolling, as well as create better roll cages.
"We are keen to bring manufacturers along with us in this process and it is pleasing to see that since our forum in October some quad bike manufacturers are now playing a positive role in offering to fit crush protection devices as a safety feature," he said.
"For the users the responsibilities are to wear a helmet, not to carry passengers and not to let children ride quad bikes."
About 20% of deaths involved children under 16 years of age.

Now that Intel has its efficient and expensive Ivy Bridge microarchitecture in tablets and computers everywhere, it's decided to launch a budget-friendly line of processors which use the same 22nm manufacturing process.
CPU World reports that Intel is launching three Celeron CPUs, four Pentiums and a new Core i3 processor, which should theoretically be available from today. If you're thirsty for detailed specs, check out the article, but a brief rundown reads like this:
The Celerons have 2MB of L3 cache, HD graphics and range from 2.3GHz to 2.7GHz, and all have two cores and two threads.
The Pentiums score 3MB of L3 cache, HD graphics and processors that manage between 2.5GHz and 3.2GHz. Again, two cores and two threads.
The i3 clocks at 3.2GHz, with 3MB of L3 cache and HD 2500 graphics, with four threads and hyperthreading.
All the chips are compatible with existing Socket 1155 motherboards and range in price from $42 for the lowest-spec Celeron to $112 for the i3. Time for an upgrade? [CPU World via Engadget]

Foley carries Penn State legacy to PGA Tour
Foley carries Penn State legacy to PGA Tour
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- The list of accolades Kevin Foley acquired during his Penn State career from 2006 to 2010 makes him one of the best men's golfers to ever represent the blue and white. However, his achievements didn't end when his collegiate career did. Today, Foley continues to make headlines as a professional golfer and will join the PGA Tour this year.
"Kevin was a fantastic player and teammate during his time at Penn State. He came in as a freshman and made an immediate impact on our team success," head coach Greg Nye said. "With the goal of making the PGA Tour clearly at the front of his thoughts, he was always very driven athlete. He was never completely satisfied with winning an event, there always seemed to be another goal just beyond."
As a 3-time All-American, Foley made his mark on Penn State golf early on in his career. He earned the 2006-07 Big Ten Freshman of the year honor and is one of four Nittany Lions to be named to the All-Region team each year of his career. The Somerville, NJ native is the program's only 3-time All-Big Ten selection and the first to acclaim back-to-back first team recognition.
Foley currently holds the university record for most tournament championships with six under his belt. He earned 16 top-10 finishes and 20 top-25 finishes during his four years in Happy Valley.
Foley's golf years were far from over when he graduated from Penn State in 2010. In 2011, he earned the NJSGA Open Championship and won his first eGolf Tour Title at the 2012 Pine Needles Classic. In the same year, Foley became the first Nittany Lion to earn full status on the Web.com Tour, which was founded in 1990 and is the primary developmental circuit for the PGA Tour.
"The biggest thing in my transition from golf at Penn State to playing professionally was really learning to create a routine and process that works and stick with it," Foley explained. "That goes with preparation for events, analyzing and decision making on the course and putting together a game plan."
Foley's first career victory came at the Panama Claro Championship, which marked the most significant professional win ever by a Penn State alumnus. Of the $144,000 dollars he earned on the Web.com Tour, $108,000 came from this single victory.
In August, Foley's 24th-place finish on the money list of the Web.com Tour earned him a 2013-14 PGA Tour card. Foley will be the first Nittany Lion since Dan O'Neill in 1975 to join the PGA Tour.
"Since his graduation Kevin has created another great story as a professional. Two years ago, Kevin had zero status on any of the levels of the professional tours. Today, he is a member of the PGA Tour. We couldn't be prouder of him, and look forward to watching him on tour this coming year," said Nye.
Kevin Foley's professional golf career is just beginning, and the future is bright.
"I'm really looking forward to next year out on the PGA Tour," Foley said, "and learning what it takes to win at the next level and compete with the best in the world every week."

What started out as a thesis by an University of Georgia Landscape Architecture graduate student, was transformed into a 19 year long $24 million dollar community transformation. Curtis Stewart, a graduate from the University of Georgia and now Associate Professor at the University of Tennessee completed his thesis on the revitalization and transformation of the streetscape alongside the West Prong of the Little Pigeon River that flows through downtown Gatlinburg, TN. What he didn't realize when he graduated was that he would soon be working for a design firm and that the city of Gatlinburg would be using his plan.
Gatlinburg, a city with roughly 4,000 permanent residents expands and contracts seasonally with approximately 9-10 million tourist annually. Settled in 1806, Gatlinburg has grown to be one of the most popular tourist destinations in the southeast United States. This fact has largely been made possible by the close proximity of the nations most visited National Park, The Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
In 1992 the City of Gatlinburg submitted an ISTEA grant to receive funding for improvement to the streetscape mention previously. In 1993 they were awarded this grant and the total cost of this phase came to approximately $1.8 million. This was just the beginning of a trend. Over the ensuing years the city and private investors would contribute a total of approximately $24 million dollars towards improvements for this tourist hotspot.
Each phase brought with it new design features and challenges. From the start Barge Waggoner Sumner & Cannon, Inc. (BWSC) was the lead landscape architect and engineering firm. BWSC is an architectural/engineering firm with offices in Tennessee, Alabama, Ohio, and Georgia. Steve Fritts, of the Knoxville office, managed this project throughout its numerous phases and met with me to discuss the project in length.
This project, its designers, and workers, can claim many accolades. One of which was the seamless construction workflow which took place throughout the six phases. Unlike most projects, the workers were required to begin and finish construction in six month segments so that seasonal tourism would not be hindered. Often construction would begin in November and completed before May and June.
A variety of uncommon design techniques were implemented as well. The riverwalk, which was completed alongside the West Prong of the Little Pigeon River was designed to withstand the erosive effects of mountain flooding. Previous issues existed alongside the river in which floods would occur and wash away bank-sides, thus compromising the sidewalks and the safety of the pedestrians. Also during this project, a 3D laser was used during Phases 4, 5 & 6. The state of the art laser took a topographical survey of the site and created a useable 3D image. These images were then used for planning purposes throughout the project.
The riverwalk walkway was designed to stop the erosion by creating a cantilevered sidewalk which had a concrete face. It was designed in such a way that the concrete face would stop water from eroding the bank. The other decision which drastically changed the face of this street was the decision to place all of the overhead utilities underground. This utility undergrounding was carried forward in each of the following phases and led to a completely new look for the city which respected the views of the mountains and opened up the storefronts to the street.
This major facelift for the city brought on unanimous public and private support for more growth in other parts of town. Possibly the most drastic growth came with the commitment from Ripley's to place their new $40 million aquarium adjacent these improvements. This commitment came with a stipulation that the city must improve the area near their attraction as well. This began the second phase of growth.
In 2000, BWSC was hired to complete a master plan for the entire city which would lay out future development. This master plan led to four more phases. The next 11 years saw a lot of change. Construction crews worked winters as usual, private and public came together to fund the work, hotels were built, three parking garages were added along with a built in visitor's center. Sewer and gas lines were rebuilt and all utilities were place underground and therefore the parkway was repaved.
During this construction phase BWSC examined the spaces between the roads and store fronts, and for very good reason. This area is where the people are. The sidewalks in Gatlinburg are the arteries of not only income but experience. BWSC had to ensure that this space was aesthetically pleasing and logically sound. BWSC took to other cities to examine how they designed their spaces. From these findings they created a 'design basis' from which they designed each storefront area.
Each area was a different depth from storefront to curb. A minimum was set up at 15' to ensure that people could pass by each other and allow room for someone at a storefront window or door. The maximum extended out to 19.5' from the building facades, should there exist benches, fences, or awnings.
The streets were completely tied together with unifying aesthetics and material. Concrete, brick, site furnishings, plantings, rhythm, and color all helped pull the entire city of Gatlinburg into one well designed destination. Site furnishings, street signage, lighting, plantings, and more were all upgraded and given a regional style. Rhythm and reason now informed pedestrian movement throughout the city.
Not many communities see such a successful endeavor take place like this. Landscape architecture is certainly more than simply coming in and shrubbing up a site. Landscape architecture is changing the way we see our communities and helping us redefine the way everything relates to each other; design, economic revenue, people, and more. In 2012 Gatlinburg was named one of the top ten prettiest cities by Forbes and in 2013 BWSC received the Engineering Excellence Award from ACEC.
What started as a simple design concept changed an entire community.
In any successful project you will typically find a good team. The following are members who were involved:
Landscape Architect and Engineering: BWSC
General and Electrical Contractor: Efficient Electric Company
Cindy Cameron Ogle
City Manager: Larry Henderson
City Street Department
Gatlinburg City Commission

From The Mineral County Miner (Guinevere Nelson):
The Creede Mining District had many waste rock piles, seeps, mine adits and mill tailings when the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and the Colorado Department of Health and Environment (CDPHE) performed their preliminary assessment of Willow Creek in 1994. The findings prompted further inspection of Willow Creek's water and were summarized into a report in 1997.
This report provided the basis for listing the Creede Mining District on the National Priorities List under the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Com-pensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), commonly known as the Superfund Act.
The Superfund Listing encompassed the entire Creede Mining District, including both branches of Willow Creek. The consequences of Superfund designation on Creede's tourist based economy were unknown, but a few concerned citizens were not interested in finding out.
Steve Russell from the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and Mark Haugen of the Rio Grande Soil Conservation Service and with the support of the City of Creede, held a meeting and informed attendees about the proposed listing.
A year later, the Willow Creek Reclamation Committee was taking action to address the issues causing poor water quality in Willow Creek without EPA intervention. The Creede Mining District was not listed as a Superfund Site and the Willow Creek Reclamation Committee went to work.
To complete their work, the WCRC defined six core goals to guide their efforts: 1) Protect the Rio Grande from future fish kills associated with nonpoint source releases during unusual hydrologic events. 2) Improve the visual and aesthetic aspects of the Willow Creek watershed and its historical mining district. 3) Implement appropriate and cost-effective flood control and stabilization measures for nonpoint sources. 4) Protect and preserve historic structures. 5) Reclaim the Willow Creek floodplain below Creede to improve the physical, chemical, biological and aesthetic qualities of the creek as an integral part of the local community. 6) Continue to improve water quality and physical habitat quality in the Willow Creek watershed as part of a long-term watershed management program.
From its inception, the Willow Creek Project has had a firm commitment to find innovative, non-regulatory approaches to improve the water quality in Willow Creek and to protect the gold medal fishery in the Rio Grande River downstream – a premier fly-fishing stream. Local residents were ready and eager to apply best management practices (BMP's) to reduce the metals in the stream so that water quality standards could be achieved, only to find out that the information and data on the sources and loadings of the metals were incomplete. The WCRC received CDPHE funding and spent from 1999-2003 sampling surface water, groundwater, waste rock piles, mine pools, macroinvertebrates and fish to fill in the information gaps.

Settling a claim
When the parties to the claim, i.e., the injured worker, employer and BWC, agree to a sum of money which BWC will pay to the injured worker, they settle the claim.
The settlement forever resolves all past, present, or future medical and compensation issues, and liabilities in the claim, whether known or unknown.
BWC always acts in the best interest of all parties to establish a fair and equitable settlement.
BWC administers and approves all claim settlements. The Ohio Industrial Commission may review a settlement within 30 days following the agreement date to ensure that the settlement is fair to all parties.
Requesting a settlement
You must file the Settlement Agreement and Application for Approval of Settlement Agreement (C-240) (state-fund claims only).
The Settlement Research service offering allows you to view information about your claim to assist you in the settlement process.
Settlement terms
The settlement agreement defines the specific terms of settlement. Those terms include, but are not limited to:
- Effective settlement date is the date BWC mails the settlement approval letter. This is the same date the settlement agreement is published.
- BWC will not make any payments after the effective settlement date for medical bills or services rendered, regardless of the date of service, whether or not BWC received the bills.
- All settlements are subject to court-ordered family support, which may be the entire settlement amount in some cases.
- All settlements are subject to overpayment recoupment. This can be the entire settlement if the overpayment amount exceeds the amount of the agreed-upon settlement.
- Settlement of the claim does not impair BWC's right to subrogation recovery. View the subrogation page for additional information.
- Any finding of fraud allows BWC to rescind the settlement agreement and address any overpayment due to fraudulent activity and refer for criminal prosecution.

SportsCenter covers the shootings in Newtown: It takes a truly national story for ESPN to look outside the sports world. The Dec. 14 edition of SportsCenter, the day of the Newtown massacre, opened with a moment of silence and featured reactions from some big-name athletes. Throughout the week, ESPN highlighted teams who paid tribute to the shooting victims. The rapid changes in tone (cue the somber SportsCenter theme) were jarring, but it was something that had to be mentioned, and ESPN did a solid job.
Oh God, Billy Crystal: Even though Crystal anchored the 6 p.m. edition of Dec. 19th's SportsCenter, ESPN was kind enough to give primetime viewers a three-minute behind-the-scenes look at Billy's time behind the desk. Why did Crystal host an episode of SportsCenter, you ask? Well, Billy had an awful movie to promote, and ESPN had several segments that were sponsored by Parental Guidance throughout the week.
ESPN piled on Mark Sanchez in one of their funniest montages of the year: Sanchez had one of his typical, dreadful games against the Titans, and was benched the following day. Instead of just relaying the news, ESPN went scorched earth. They spliced together a montage of his worst moments of the game, coupled with condemnation from Jon Gruden, who loves everyone. It concluded with Steve Young and Trent Dilfer becoming physically enraged by Sanchez's play, and potshots from additional ESPN commentators. You got the feeling the person who put this together was a seething Jets fan who had been waiting for this moment. Take a look at the Sanchez montage, because it's pretty amazing.

Note: Please note that the following reflects changes for a future release of MythTV currently in development and not recommended for production use. The current release is 31.0.
Note: With due respect to the previous author, this page is here mostly to store the Special Notices and Instructions section.
0.26-release encompasses development revisions from [df47df3] though [TBD]
Key New Features
Add HTTP Live Streaming recorder [17c164a]
Major Changes
- Conversion of internal times to UTC. Stored times will be converted by the database update mechanism. For example, tables
program, recorded, oldrecorded, recordupdatewill have their
endtimesconverted to UTC. This should be of interest to daylight savings time users.
mythsyslogserver, a new system for handling all log requests. ZeroMQ is included in this release.
- Numerous HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) playback fixes.
- Add ability to override Bonjour's service name (
-O BonjourHostname=mycomputer.)
- Almost a complete rewrite of RAOP server, used for Airtunes/AirPlay.
- Added recording rule templates [71c65b]
- The format of
config.xmlhas changed and
mysql.txtis no longer used. Example:
- Allow themes to customize caption/subtitle formatting [f13eeb0].
- Make the subtitle zoom factor into a live setting [0089f7d].
Prerequisite Changes
Added support libraries/prerequisites
Removed support libraries/prerequisites
Special Notices & Instructions
- MySQL must have time zone tables added, see MySQL_Time_Zone_Tables.
- If you need
mythffplay, add
--enable-sdlto your
configurerun [fb90f73].
- User scripts/tools that depended on
mysql.txtshould be reviewed. Since MythTV no longer uses
mysql.txt, its no longer updated. Scripts/tools could stop working.
- The (broken) "Expire in deleted order" setting has been removed [928135e].
- HLS users must use
--enable-libmp3lamewhen running
- Note that a "DEPRECATED_608_TELETEXT" message will now appear in logs. Support for CEA-608 teletext captions is to be removed. The log entries will allow users to check whether they would be affected. Refs #10786 [7b1aef8].
New Features
Bug Fixes
- Speed up loading of the Watch Recordings screen and the Previously Recorded screen by doing most of the buttonlist initialization in the background. The speedup is most noticeable when the screen contains hundreds or thousands of entries and mythfrontend is running on a relatively slow processor such as an Atom.
Key Bindings, Jump Points, and Input Devices

New Features
Bug Fixes
Video Playback
New Features
Bug Fixes
- Upside-down videos taken on an iPhone are correctly flipped.
- An option is added to the playback OSD menu to allow an in-progress playlist to be cancelled.
- The
ExactSeekingsetting (seek to exact frame) is removed, in favor of more adaptive, sensible behavior. When doing relative seeks, snap to the nearest keyframe if its distance from the target frame is within 10% of the total seek distance. When seeking within the cutlist editor, use a value of 50% instead. Exact frame seeking is always used for absolute seeks (bookmark seek, skips based on cutlist/commskiplist, preview generation), and for keyframe and single-frame seeking in the cutlist editor.
Disc Playback (DVD, Blu-Ray, etc) and Media Detection
New Features
Bug Fixes
OSD, EPG, MHEG, CC, and Subtitles
New Features
Bug Fixes
- Formatting of text-based captions and subtitles is put under theme control, via the new theme file osd_subtitle.xml. The
DefaultSubtitleFontsettings are removed.
- The
Prefer708Captionssetting is removed. CEA-708 captions are now always preferred over CEA-608 captions (though CEA-608 captions can still be selected during playback).
- The
OSDCC708TextZoomsetting is removed from the setup options and is now implemented as a live setting. The Subtitles sub-menu of the playback OSD menu has an option that allows the user to change the zoom setting for text-based subtitles during playback and see the effect immediately. Changes are immediately saved.
- A similar live setting is added for bitmap-based subtitles, such as in DVD/BD videos.
- Improved handling of forced subtitles, both at the track level and at the individual subtitle level.
- Track auto-selection is improved to take forced tracks into account.
- A complete set of CEA-708 fonts is provided.
- CEA-608 teletext caption support is deprecated and will be removed in 0.27. Note that this is different from DVB teletext subtitles and standard CEA-608 closed captions.
