Over time, VCR's have been used to play back home movies and commercially made films and programs, as well as to record programming off of television. Prototypes and early versions of the VCR were made in the 1950's, but they cost thousands of dollars and were only used at large television networks. The Telcan, made it England in 1962, was the first home VCR, which cost what would be the equivalent of over $1,600 in 2014 US currency. It could only record for 20 minutes at a time and was exclusively in black and white. Other various VCR's competed for the market for the rest of the 1960's and into the 1970's. In 1972, commercial films were available to play on VCR's for the first time, and by the mid 1970's VCR's began having mass market appeal. At this time there were a few incompatible types of tape cassettes that were competing for the market share, and eventually the two main types to emerge were Sony's Betamax, sometimes just known as Beta, and JVC's VHS, which stands for Video Home System. This competition was known as a "format war". Eventually VHS won out, mainly because of their longer recording time. VHS was the preferred way to play and record video until shortly after 2000, when DVD's overtook the market and VCR's ended up in basements, attics, and yard sales.[/SIZE][/FONT][/I] [B][SIZE=7][FONT=verdana][COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]SU News[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [URL="https://www.syracuse.com/orangebasketball/2022/06/syracuse-announces-basketball-exhibition-with-southern-new-hampshire.html"]SU basketball announces exhibition with Southern New Hampshire[/URL] (PS; Waters)[/B] [I]Syracuse University’s men’s basketball team will play an exhibition game against Southern New Hampshire at the JMA Wireless Dome, the school said in a release on Monday.

Southern New Hampshire came to the Dome for an exhibition ahead of the 2017-18 season. Southern New Hampshire finished 13-11 a year ago and earned a berth to the NE10 Championship. Syracuse’s regular-season opener will be against Lehigh on Nov. 7. Other non-conference games that have been officially announced are a Nov. 15 home game against Colgate, a Nov. 26 meeting with Bryant at the Dome, a Dec. 6 home game with Oakland and a visit from former Big East rival Georgetown on Saturday, Dec. 10.

New York’s Excelsior jobs tax credits would be available for up to 20 years to any “green” semiconductor chip plant that meets the requirements for the incentives. The 1,250-acre [URL='https://www.nylovesnano.com/docs/Semiconductor%20-%20WP.pdf']White Pine Commerce Park[/URL] in Clay, owned by Onondaga County, would be the largest of any site in the state competing for the incentives, said Assemblyman Al Stirpe, D-Cicero. Gov. Kathy Hochul asked Stirpe and state Sen. John Mannion, D-Geddes, to help shepherd the bill through the Assembly and Senate before the legislative session ended on Saturday. [URL='https://www.syracuse.com/politics/2022/01/hochul-central-new-york-better-than-a-long-shot-to-land-computer-chip-plant.html']Hochul told syracuse.com | The Post-Standard[/URL] earlier this year that the state would offer a “very robust incentive package” for an undisclosed company to open a chip plant in Onondaga County that could employ up to 5,000 people. Hochul declined at the time to reveal details of the incentive package. The bill that Stirpe carried for the governor will provide up to $500 million per year in job tax credits to semiconductor manufacturers that open new fabrication plants in New York. The tax credit would be worth up to 7.5% of what a company pays in salaries and hourly wages. A company with $1 billion in salaries and wages, for example, would be eligible for a $75 million annual tax credit, Stirpe said. To be eligible, companies would have to create at least 500 net new jobs and spend at least $3 billion in capital investments over 10 years. In return, the chip makers would be required to build “green” plants that limit their greenhouse gas emissions and expand employment opportunities for economically disadvantaged individuals. ...[/I] [/QUOTE]
