Please advise if this is a permanent change and if it is, all I have spoken with will be canceling their subscriptions too.
Sad for all/Jacqui. Answer: In response to complaints about the disappearance of the Idaho public records in our newspaper, we're working on a solution. We believe we'll be able to publish them in our weekly zoned editions -- the Handle Extra and the Post Falls Voice. Please bear with us as we work on the details of getting the information published again/Gary Graham, managing editor

Radio & TV Talk
TBS, which aired its final local Braves game Sunday, will keep airing weekly Sunday baseball games and some playoff games while Peachtree TV will air 45 Braves games next year. For folks with rabbit ears, this means no more TBS but Peachtree TV will offer up many of the same sitcoms, mostly at different times e.g. "Fresh Prince of Bel Air," "King of Queens," "Friends," "Family Guy," "The Steve Harvey Show" and "Seinfeld." "Sex & the City" and "Everybody Loves Raymond" air on WATL-TV so Peachtree couldn't pick those up. You'll miss early 90s cheesefest sitcom "Saved by the Bell," which airs from 7 to 9 a.m. weekday mornings on TBS. If you have Comcast Cable, no worries. While Channel 7 becomes Peachtree, Channel 39 is going to take the nataional TBS feed.
Tallmadge company preserves families' treasured images
People still bring Betamax tapes to Gary Stennett. For those too young to remember, Betamax lost out to VHS in the videotape format war a couple of decades ago. For that matter, people bring Stennett even more VHS cassettes, now just another has-been analog medium in the 21st century digital-recording era. And then there are the reels and reels of even older 8mm and 16mm home movies. Plus packages of 1970s 3/4-inch videotapes, SuperVHS and other tape formats, along with more contemporary video CDs, mini DVDs and others on which people have recorded memories, only to see them become obsolete. Stennett and his co-workers give new life to all those aging recordings. Stennett is the owner of ARS Video Inc. on West Avenue in Tallmadge, a family-run business started by his parents 20 years ago.
Broadcom's Android alternative: An SoC supporting Symbian, Linux, WM6
Broadcom's Android alternative: An SoC supporting Symbian, Linux, WM6 By Scott M. Fulton, III, BetaNews February 11, 2008, 12:19 PM In an attempt to blockade Google's Android platform at the big Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this week, Broadcom is putting forth a chip with some real ammunition behind it, supporting the existing big three mobile OSes all at once. Perhaps the least likely partners you might think you'd ever see on a joint ticket together may not end up being Google and Yahoo after all. In Barcelona this morning, Broadcom -- which makes chipsets for many brands of mobile phones and smart handsets -- threw a big lasso around Symbian, mobile Linux (LiMo), and Windows Mobile, corralling them under a collective tent it calls "OpenOS." .
First Look: Apple TV, take two
Should Steve Jobs' presentation have blotted the functionality of the “original" Apple TV from your memory, allow me to compare and contrast that original device with the “Take Two" update announced during Jobs' address. Price: Okay, easily done. The 40GB Apple TV sold for $299 and yesterday Apple shaved $70 from the price tag. The 160GB Apple TV, which those of us who preferred to stream our content thought bore more storage than necessary, moved from $399 to $329; another $70 price drop. (People who invested in the early days of the Apple TV will be rewarded not by a $70 rebate but by receiving the new "Take Two" software update as a free download in two weeks.) Content: For the most part, you had to move content to the original Apple TV from your computer (streaming YouTube videos and previews from the iTunes Store being the exception).
