Ryan Murphy Reveals Title of New Chapter of American Horror Story
"American Horror Story: Asylum"
"Asylum" Stars Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Lily Rabe, Zachary Quinto, James Cromwell, and Joseph Fiennes
LOS ANGELES, August 1, 2012 - Award-winning producer Ryan Murphy today revealed the title of the new chapter of American Horror Story, "American Horror Story: Asylum."
Set in 1964, American Horror Story: Asylum stars Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Lily Rabe, Zachary Quinto, James Cromwell, and Joseph Fiennes. Principal photography on the new minseries began on July 17 and it premieres on FX in October.
"When we launched the show last year, we kept quiet about the closed-ended nature of the show because we didn't want to tip off the audience that the characters were not going to survive," explained co-creator and executive producer Ryan Murphy. "Now that it has been established that each year is a closed-ended story, the time seemed right to reveal what we're calling the new installment.
"We picked 'Asylum' because it not only describes the setting - an insane asylum run by Jessica Lange's character which was formerly a tuberculosis ward - but also signifies a place of haven for the unloved and the unwanted. This year's theme is about sanity and tackling real life horrors."
The first installment of American Horror Story, which concluded last fall, earned 17 Primetime Emmy(R) Award nominations, tying for the most of any program this year and setting a record for the most Emmy nominations for a miniseries in basic cable history.
Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, Dante Di Loreto and Tim Minear are Executive Producers of American Horror Story: Asylum. It is produced by Twentieth Century Fox Television.
FX is the flagship general entertainment basic cable network from Fox. Launched in June of 1994, FX is carried in more than 98 million homes. The diverse schedule includes a growing roster of critically acclaimed and award winning original programming including the hit dramas series including Sons of Anarchy and Justified, the miniseries American Horror Story: Asylum, and acclaimed hit comedy series It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, The League, Louie, Archer, Wilfred, BrandX with Russell Brand, Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell and Legit. Its library of acquired box-office hit movies is unmatched by any ad-supported television network.

All too often in tech, we don't find out about the genius behind the gadgets until they're on the shelves. So we took a trip to the Bristol Interaction and Graphics (BIG) group at Bristol University, to meet some frighteningly intelligent people and take a look at the devices we'll be using in a decade or more.
In a large workshop in Bristol University's Merchant Ventures building, the interfaces and displays of the future are taking shape. They won't be built here, at least not in their final forms - this is a research lab, where the first prototypes of the next decade's consumer tech are being soldered, printed and programmed. Amid a jumble of drawers, boxes, desks and machinery, weird devices can be seen - a machine that blows bubbles full of scented mist, an augmented-reality printer, a volumetric display that creates 3D images in a screen of falling water droplets.
In the office next door, I'm introduced to Anne Roudaut, whose desk is covered with small articulated devices that bend and fold, blocks that work together to assume new forms. Her job is to design gadgets that change shape, of their own accord.
"We think that phones should be able to change shape", says Anne, "so that if I want to play a game, it will curve at the sides so that I can grasp it, or maybe there will be a joystick that will pop up. Or if I need a keyboard, one can come out of the screen. Or maybe if I need a stressball, I can just scrunch it up. I want to reintroduce all the shapes we have in the world around us into digital devices. So, it's a bit like Transformers."
Anne has created a great many different hardware prototypes, along with software to control them. "One of the first things I started working on was how we could make a touchscreen shape-changing", she says, and by this she doesn't mean bendy - she means a screen that has muscles of its own. "We took the sort of screen you find in an e-reader, and we attached some shape-memory alloy wires to it. It's a really interesting metal that changes shape when heated, so you apply a little current, and it changes shape," says Anne, demonstrating how the fine grid of alloy wires can bend the e-ink screen. And while bending is all very well, her next project - entitled Morphees - uses the same technology to fold into different shapes.
"The touchscreen would be made from tiles," she explains, showing me a prototype made from laser-cut wooden tiles, "and each one is articulated with wires made from shape-memory alloy. So depending on where you apply current, it folds up and changes into different shapes. The wires do heat up, but they're so thin that a user wouldn't feel the heat".
Anne says it'll be 10-15 years before you can buy a phone or a smartwatch that scrunches itself into different shapes, but she believes shape-changing technology will definitely have a role to play in wearable technology. Big business agrees - the lab has had visits from HP, Nokia and others - as does Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. And some of her work is going much, much further - "I have a colleague who's at the Mars Desert Research Station, where they have to do everything as if they're actually on Mars. We're also looking at using shape-changing technology to help people physically feel their environment through space suits." Which makes even a shape-shifting phone seem rather, well, terrestrial.
Sitting across the office from Anne is Diego Martinez, who's working on something larger and more collaborative. 'Mistable' is a tabletop display that doesn't use glass, but a screen made from a curtain of mist.
"Imagine we're a group working on a tabletop display," says Diego with the relaxed authority of someone who knows this will be a commonplace event in the near future. "We're all seeing the same stuff. But if you want to see your email, you have to make it visible to everyone. And if there's something you want to take a look at, it has to be on the tabletop, so it's occluding whatever else is on there." The solution is to have a flat tabletop display that everyone shares, and in front of each user is a screen made of fog. Users can transfer what's on their fog-screen to each other's private displays, or they can push it onto the main screen with their hands. It sounds like something out of a sci-fi novel, but it's not: Diego and his colleagues have already built one.
The display on the mist screen may be slightly turbulent, but it's usable enough even in this first prototype. A Leap Motion tracks my hand, allowing me to move images around, and with head-tracking they can be rotated in 3D. When I want to move a picture to the flat table display in the middle of the Mistable, I simply push it through the screen and onto the tabletop display. If in 15 years' time we're using Mistable displays to work collaboratively during meetings, then there will finally be a reason to want to go to a meeting.
Finally I'm allowed to gets my hands on (or rather, off) the game controller you'll be using in ten years' time. The Ultrahaptics project is something that has won the BIG lab a lot of attention, and rightly so: it's a brilliant idea that could revolutionise the way we interact with computers, because it allows you to feel what's being displayed, in mid-air.
The Ultrahaptics interface works by tracking your hand (again, the prototype I tried used a Leap Motion) and firing a tight beam of ultrasound at your hand when it comes into 'contact' with what's being displayed.
I played a simple Breakout-style game using an Ultrahaptics controller and a Leap Motion, and it was… well, it was weird. The hand tracking was normal enough - I moved my open hand from side to side, and the paddle on the screen followed it - but when the ball bounced off the paddle I could feel it make contact with a buzz, as if an invisible bumblebee had just blundered into my palm. It's dizzyingly futuristic, but at the moment this controller is made from off-the-shelf components.
"They're parking sensors," explains Sriram Subramanian, co-director of BIG, "the same things that go in the back bumper of your car. We'll soon be able to increase the resolution because there are new sensors available that take up a quarter of the space, and use less energy. We can do multitouch, too, and we're playing with different array sizes - the prototype we've got here is about the size of a keyboard but we can go up to a square metre. At a distance of one to two metres, that's going to be nice for gaming."
The BIG boffins are investigating all sorts of applications for Ultrahaptics, from light switches to car headrests that let you feel, on your neck, the presence of a car in your blind spot. Sriram says these are achievable in the near future, but what really has me enthralled is the idea of combining Ultrahaptics with a display like the Mistable. With tactile feedback added, you could really push pictures around on your screen. You could have 3D images that you could really reach out and touch, floating objects made of nothing but sound and light. If that doesn't set your imagination whirring, you're on the wrong website, and possibly the wrong planet.

PTC is an expert in the design and application of Oracle Data Guard. We've designed and implemented Data Guard in both stand alone and clustered environments across diverse geographies, so we understand the requirements and considerations involved in its deployment.
Latest From the Blog
What Our Clients Say
"Performance Tuning was able to quickly troubleshoot and resolve many technical issues that often eluded other consulting companies we've worked with. I was most impressed by their quick response in emergency situations. They' ve been instrumental in the delivery of Oracle technologies such as Oracle RAC, Grid Control and Data Guard."
"Performance Tuning was able to offer unique insights to database design and performance tuning optimization on a world class level. They did a superb job of load testing, which was cited by Microsoft (a team member) as, the best we've seen in three years and 50 customers to come through our SQL Server Performance Tuning Lab. This statement came from the SQL Server Product Group in Redmond – a tough crowd to please. In addition, they accelerated several products including our flagship Thomson ONE Analytics and were a key part of a project whose success has lead to case studies by Intel, Microsoft, and Unisys."
"The Instructor was able to customize the course slightly to meet the needs and levels of experience in the class. It was great to get some real hands on to cement in what was reviewed and explained."
"We recently had a problem with SQL Server performance after introducing virtualization and a SAN in our server environment. After working with two different consulting companies without success, we contacted Performance Tuning Corporation. PTC rapidly set up a remote engagement with us, and within one week was able to identify a problem with a virtual device driver. We are very satisfied with the work PFC performed, and feel it is some of the best consulting money that we have spent in several years."
PTC has been phenomenal. It's a scary time when your most critical data is being moved while users are in the system working. Especially on the heals of our previous vendor's failed attempt. I can only describe it as a calming effect when true professionals are running the show.
"We are very pleased with the work that PTC performed. They were able to extract information from SQL Server and use that information to identify the exact causes of our performance bottlenecks. They provided us with information, tools, and instructions on how we can locate the cause of our performance problems. The final report contained good information and gives us a benchmark for doing future performance reviews."
"This is a well balanced course (Optimizing Oracle RAC on Linux) covering all major topics from System Administration to Database Administration unlike most of the courses"

I am trying to wrap my head around the proper way to do this. I would like to simulate the portfolio value adjusted for inflation with a fixed withdrawal rate.
To simulate withdrawal rate, I will need to adjust my portfolio nominal return series to real return using CPI. After getting real return series, assume that my fixed withdrawal amount is 5% of initial equity. If my initial equity is, say, $1, then my withdrawal rate is 0.05. Since my simulation is real return based, do I need to adjust my fixed withdrawal rate for inflation or do I just keep it fixed at 0.05 and withdrawal this amount each period?
If I do adjust it, I am using the following equation: if inflation is 1% then current withdrawal rate = 0.05 + (0.05 * 0.01) = 0.0505
Which is correct?

The Dark SideBy Beverly Spicer Wednesday, September 10th, 2008
There were rumors in Perpignan that festival goers were being attacked on the streets. Â We don't have any figures on how many people this happened to, but here is one verified victim. Meet photographer Jason Howe, who was attacked while walking at night on a sidewalk just northwest of the area where the festival was held. Â He was accosted, pushed to the ground, kicked and robbed. Â I'm not sure how he incurred the nasty looking blow to his forehead, whether it was by hitting the ground or by direct assault, but you can see he had a rough encounter. Â
Molly Roberts photographed him at lunch the next day and reports he was in pretty good shape in spite of his injuries. We guessed he might feel a lot worse in a day or two. Sorry to say, I don't know exactly what possessions he lost in the attack, but this incident brought to mind the very sophisticated equipment one sees hanging around people's necks as they casually stroll around town.  It's a wonder it doesn't happen more often. Â
As you might have seen from a previous post, there were many security officers stationed around town, but apparently they couldn't cover everything. Â It's all still a bit of a mystery, though I heard the suggestion "immigrant gangs" were responsible. Â If anyone knows more about Jason's or other incidents, leave a comment. Â We'd be interested to hear more. Â

HOUSTON - A lawsuit claims a 16-year-old girl is being coerced to have an abortion against her will.
The teen is two months pregnant and is represented by lawyers with the Texas Center for Defense of Life. A judge granted a temporary restraining order to save the baby's life.
"We were asking judge to stop them physically forcing her to have an abortion. She is legally protected. They cannot drag her to get an abortion, force an abortion on our client," attorney Stephen Casey said.
The lawsuit is eight pages long and details alleged verbal abuse by the teen's parents.
In the lawsuit, the teen claims her mom "... invited the paternal grandparents to a bar for further discussion, where she suggested that she might slip her an abortion pill through deception."
The teen also claims her father told her "he was going to take her to have an abortion and that the decision was his, end of story."
Even though she is a minor, the teen has the power to make that decision.
"What Roe established is minors have the choice. And when they do make the choice, folks are shocked that they want to carry the baby," said Casey.
Another hearing will be held Friday.

Hillary Clinton's Syria dilemma
Hillary Clinton has answered calls that she pick a side in the Syria debate. But the former Secretary of State's brief statement Tuesday backing President Barack Obama's campaign for a military strike won't be the last time she's asked to talk about the potentially sensitive issue.
Clinton pressed during her time at Foggy Bottom to arm some Syrian rebels to combat the regime of Bashar Assad. And her endorsement of Obama's approach to military action comes as she plans a series of policy addresses this fall, some of her first extensive public remarks on issues since she left the administration early this year.
Story Continued Below
But her task in handling foreign policy or national security issues is complicated by her history as the nation's top diplomat and a onetime and potentially future presidential candidate. Clinton was seen as one of the more hawkish voices in the Obama administration and now needs to demonstrate to a liberal base that she learned from her 2002 vote authorizing the Iraq war and her carefully-calibrated walk away from it during her 2008 campaign.
( PHOTOS: Who's talking about Hillary 2016?)
No one is arguing that a potential strike against Syria is directly on par with the years-long war in Iraq. And how much the current debate matters to another national campaign probably depends on the success and duration of any military operation — as well as whether American troops become involved on the ground, something the administration is ruling out for now.
But just as some Republican presidential hopefuls face a tough call whether to get behind a military strike, Clinton will be pressed for maximum clarity on where she falls on the issue.
"I think Mrs. Clinton finds herself in the middle of a very ironic dilemma," said Bruce Riedel, of the Brookings Institution, who, like almost everyone interviewed, spoke with POLITICO before Clinton's aide issued a statement. "She probably lost the nomination for the presidency in 2008 because Barack Obama had spoken out about a stupid war and now he's put her in the place where she either supports him or speaks out against it. From a political standpoint I think she's in a tough place."
( PHOTOS: Syria: Where politicians stand)
Clinton's brief initial comments on Syria, made through an aide, came a week before the ex-Secretary of State is to give a speech at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia – the first in a series policy addresses that will be closely watched for any insights about how she believes the United States should handle the crisis in the Mideast.
The interest in her remarks goes beyond the titillation of potential 2016 implications and the what-does-it-mean-politically game. The debate over the U.S. involvement in Syria has galvanized national interest and has the potential to become a defining moment in Obama's second term – making his former appointee's response significant.
Will she go deeper than the clipped statement supporting Obama's ask of Congress to authorize a limited strike in Syria? Will she discuss the NSA leaks and the growing public concern about abuses, as she originally suggested? It's too soon to say, and her own announcement about the speech left it vague as to the intent, and the majesty of the moment.
( Also on POLITICO: Hillary Clinton backs Obama on Syria)
"I will talk about the balance and transparency necessary in our national security policies as we move beyond a decades of wars to face new threats," Clinton said at the American Bar Association recently of the upcoming speech on Sept. 10 – a day after Congress returns to face the Syria vote. "And later in the fall, I'll address the implications of these issues for American's global leadership and our moral standing around the world."
Answering the Syria question this week helps to counter the narrative about her lack of discussion of a subject over which she expressed "lasting regret" as she departed Foggy Bottom earlier this year.
"I think everything she does right now that looks like the [moves of the] heir apparent is important," said Steve Clemons, a well-known foreign policy writer and blogger, who, like most people interviewed, spoke before Clinton's late-day statement on Syria. "It's automatically relevant."
( See POLITICO's full Syria coverage)
He added, "She's got a fine line to walk because in the eyes of many of those who were either supportive of her or skeptical of her in her first run for the presidency [because] she had voted strongly for the Iraq war … and Hillary Clinton had always tilted more toward a hawkish position."
Indeed, Clinton owned a piece of the Syria puzzle while at State, as one former administration official put it. It is much harder to attack her to an operation taking place months after she left – but it opens the door for familiar criticism from her opponents over her tenure at Foggy Bottom.
"She's been pretty up front actually for a long time about the need to do something about Syria," said Joshua Foust, who writes about international security. "I think at a very bare minimum she's going to talk about how it's good that President Obama's trying to do something."
But he added, "As for the smartness of that, I think that's a little more complex."

GFBB Note: Craig Calcaterra who penned this post is a lawyer and has some really interesting comments on this case. Example: "…..the fact is, Bonds was asked a yes or no question and he answered "no. And " It is not the job of the criminal justice system to punish an evasive or non-responsive witness". If you've been following this case you'll like this article.

Barry Bonds lawyers will head into court today to argue his appeal of his obstruction of justice conviction today. There will be no decision today because that's not how appellate courts roll, but when you read the Bonds headlines later, that's what it's about.
To review: Bonds was acquitted on all counts of perjury, but convicted for obstruction of justice. The basis for that conviction: a rambling answer to a question about whether anyone besides team doctors ever injected him with anything. His initial answer was something incoherent about being a "celebrity child." Prosecutors and the jury say that that answer was "intentionally false, misleading and evasive."
What no one ever seems to mention, though, is that Bonds actually answered the question:
As I've said before: maybe that "no" is lie. Probably is in fact. But the jury didn't agree, acquitting him on that very question with respect to the perjury…

This is a comment for a possible new thread.
Over the years I have heard that top programs don't allow their students to fail out b/c it would reflect poor judgment on the smart selectors of grad students.
Now that Leiter is promoting getting data for attrition from programs this will be interesting to see.
Clearly there is a combination effect. Better students in better programs should finish. But MIT had 55 of 60 graduate with 2 still enrolled and 3 leave). That's a staggering 91 success completion rate, and if you think the two left in are from 2006 and will finish, that's a 95% completion rate.
I know my program didn't do that well. I was the only person from my cohort who finished with a Ph.D. There were a lot of M.A.s given, but 95%!
Good lord that's a lot of grads. If the better programs are doing something greater than just training good students, then we need to know. The person who told me they weren't allowed to drop out was a Princeton person. It will be interesting to see if Princeton provides its data.
Another question is: What should an attrition rate be, really?
- April 10, 2012 at 10:52 AM
Off topic for this thread, but not, I hope, for this blog: Is anybody else *totally done* with the "Your qualifications were very good, but we have found someone whose qualifications better fit the needs of the position" language in this year's batch of PFOs? Like, totally done? It's getting all over my nerves. I'm not sure why this jargon in particular is getting to me, but I find it terribly patronizing. So, PFO writers, if you're reading this blog, knock it off with this, okay?
End of rant,
- April 11, 2012 at 9:38 AM
I'm only interested in attrition rates if we also have reasons for attrition. I would suspect that programs with poor funding, limited opportunities for professional development, or notoriously bad advisors to have higher attrition rates. But that would just be my guess.
- April 11, 2012 at 8:45 PM
Yes, I agree. I just received a PFO with that language. The person hired had three publications and was one year outside of theIr Ph.D. I have thirty publications plus two books and am five years post-Ph.D. However, I did notice that the hire is a family man, and so are most of the faculty in the department, while I'm a single gay person. Way to to use "fit" as a tool to discriminate!
- April 12, 2012 at 4:59 AM
How did they know you were gay?
- April 12, 2012 at 10:36 AM
I told them in my cover letter. I'm out of the closet. Also, I am cross trained in queer studies. The notion that you should be private about your sexual orientation and marital status is so heteronormative.
- April 13, 2012 at 2:12 PM
And my next question is, how do you know that was why they didn't hire you?
It might have been their reason. But it might not have been. To assume that a search committee is homophobic because they didn't hire you is a bit extreme.
- April 13, 2012 at 5:26 PM
Let's not assume the worst without evidence shall we? Maybe the other person's publications were better than yours? Maybe the committee thought they were more important or were in better places or fit in better in the context of the department?
Maybe it was a million things. Maybe you're cover letter isn't all that good? Maybe it was, in all seriousness, bad circumstantial luck on the part of the person reading your application (they were in a bad mood and so didn't give you the consideration you deserved) etc etc.
- April 13, 2012 at 7:40 PM
Or maybe you just weren't as good as the other guy. Often times the 'fit' language is just used to be nice (it's not you, it's me).
- April 13, 2012 at 10:01 PM
Maybe that's why philosophers do not "fit" with the rest of society. We're just not as good as the plumbers and CEOs of the world. Let's be honest: Search committees hire people like themselves. If you don't fit, that just means you don't come from the same social strata as they do. That might include not having the right skin color or sexual orientation.
- April 14, 2012 at 8:47 AM
I'm going to keep saying this until I'm blue in the face, but it's worth repeating.
4:59 writes: "The person hired had three publications and was one year outside of theIr Ph.D. I have thirty publications plus two books and am five years post-Ph.D."
OK, and so what? People on the market need to stop believing that there is a magic formula for hiring, and that Search Committees routinely get it wrong. (Yes, I mentioned this on a previous post, and will keep doing so so long as my comments get approved.) OK, so you have more publications. And if that were the sole criteria for all hiring decisions, then perhaps you could attribute their decision to improper bias. But search committees don't think that way. (If they did, why would we bother with such detailed applications? Just send us your publications list, we can do simple math, and the biggest number gets hired.)
Just from your description, I'd guess that the person they hired showed a great deal of promise. 3 publications 1 year after PhD? That's impressive. (Sure, you also seem impressive, but it's not like they turned you down to hire someone unqualified.)
But there is so much more that goes into such decisions:
1. Academic fit matters. Do you and this person overlap in every teaching and research area? If not, perhaps they wanted someone who could offer something you can't. That means you're out of the running from the start.
2. Maybe they see you as a potential flight risk. What school was this? If it's not a top researching school, the SC might worry that you would leave the first chance you get at a more research-focused job. Some SCs want the best, regardless of the risk. Others want a long-term investment. Your career trajectory may not fit what they want in a colleague.
3. Quality matters. If those 3 publications were more substantive, innovative, better written, and in better journals than your publications, that may have swayed them. (One reason why SCs don't just count the number of publications is because many of us would rather see fewer, better publications than more, weaker ones.) And your books? Written or edited or co-edited? Which presses? These things matter, and the SC may not share your views on how impressive your publications are.
The bottom line is, there is no magic formula. And SCs do not all work in the same way. Even the same department will appear to have very different values and criteria from year to year, if different people serve on SCs.
Is it possible they discriminated against you? Absolutely. Is it a certainty? Not by any means.
- April 14, 2012 at 10:45 AM
Let's be honest: you're talking out of your ass.
Many job candidates will go to enormous lengths to avoid the conclusion that they aren't as good at philosophy as the one who actually got the job. Sometimes they're right – choosing a colleague from the pool of candidates is a very inexact science.
- April 14, 2012 at 11:15 AM
Search committees hire people like themselves. If you don't fit, that just means you don't come from the same social strata as they do. That might include not having the right skin color or sexual orientation.
Prove it or gtfo.
It's understandable to want to make excuses for why you didn't get a job. I do it. What I don't do is ever really believe that a group of people who don't know me, who have had to sift through applications, have decided that the only reason not to hire me was because of some irrelevant reason. It takes a whole lot of mind-reading and wishful thinking to bring yourself to believe that with zero evidence.
In a job market as bad as ours even really excellent amazing people will not get jobs. When a search committee can ask for, and receive, applications from hundreds of people even for crazy specific bizarre jobs, I think it's delusional to assume you were the best candidate.
- April 14, 2012 at 11:16 AM
I'm interested in the idea of explicitly mentioning one's sexual orientation in a cover letter. (a) Is this good strategy? Does the mention of one's sexual orientation increase the odds that you'll get an interview? (b) Is it appropriate to mention your sexual orientation (apart from whether it's good strategy to do so)? A sexual orientation isn't a credential. Of course, cover letters can include facts about one's hobbies, hometown, family situation, etc., and these aren't credentials either. But given that sexual orientation isn't a credential, we need some other reason to think that mentioning it in a cover letter is appropriate. What's that reason?
- April 14, 2012 at 4:23 PM
Is it possible they discriminated against you? Absolutely. Is it a certainty? Not by any means.
This is the truth bomb. Why are we still talking?
- April 14, 2012 at 4:45 PM
Obviously you don't know the meaning of heteronormativity.
- April 15, 2012 at 9:30 AM
Obviously you don't know the meaning of heteronormativity.
Again, there's a burden of proof here and you are unfairly shifting it. You are assuming, with no proof whatsoever, that you can divine the secret reasons behind your not being hired and that it all boiled to the fact that you outed yourself.
You were given a lot of different alternative reasons why you might not have been hired. What was wrong with those again? Why assume the worst?
- April 15, 2012 at 1:20 PM
Hilarious, a Rejection Generator! You must love this:
- April 15, 2012 at 2:44 PM
Reagrding the issue of bias, I have no proof but I do believe that there is bias involved in SC decisions. Bias against rival views, against certain programs, against national origin, against candidates' advisors, against non-traditional programs, against interdisciplinary programs, against single people, against city people, and several other biases that some of you may wish to add...
In this so-called job market, there are too many well-qualified candidates, which makes it almost a necessity for SC's to appeal to irrelevant factors, which certainly may create bias. Again, I have no proof, if I had proof, it would be a matter of court now! But I do believe that such biases exist and lead a lot of very good philosophers to be discouraged, disillusioned, disheartened!
I also have to say that I find it absolutely disgusting to attack a person like this by implying that they are lousy philosophers and that's why they didn't get the job! Trying to rationalize SC decisions is simple wishful thinking. In this market there are no rational SC decisions! There, I said it, fight me...

This is real, and perhaps your university puts this on too. This is how we knew people are gay in the Midwest.
Time: 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Location: University Union
Description: Do you think you have good, "gaydar?" Come and test it out at our, "Guess Who's Gay Panel!" A panel of 8 people will keep you guessing! Gay? Lesbian? Bisexual? Straight?
You be the judge!
- April 16, 2012 at 11:57 AM
You're right. In this market, just about any position ends up attracting a huge pool of candidates who are, for all intents and purposes, identically qualified on paper--i.e., they have the same number of publications, or their publications are all of roughly the same quality, or their publications are all published in roughly the same calibre journals, etc., etc., etc., etc. When that happens--as it invariably does!--the SC may choose to break the tie on the basis of arbitrary and irrelevant factors. And if we are honest with ourselves, we should recognize that this is often only one of two possible courses available to it in such situations--the other being to randomize the decision procedure entirely. But SCs would much rather be biased than fair, because at least they're getting what they want that way.
- April 16, 2012 at 2:38 PM
I also have to say that I find it absolutely disgusting to attack a person like this by implying that they are lousy philosophers and that's why they didn't get the job!
Wait, who implied that?
I see some commenters objecting to the *assumption* that not getting a job was due to the disgruntled commenters sexual preference. I see some offering alternative explanations.
Trying to rationalize SC decisions is simple wishful thinking. In this market there are no rational SC decisions! There, I said it, fight me...
What's to fight? You already admitted that you have no evidence. You're lying down before the fight begins.
- April 16, 2012 at 2:43 PM
"Trying to rationalize SC decisions is simple wishful thinking. In this market there are no rational SC decisions!"
Sigh. So *all* SCs do it wrong? Hell of a way to end a comment about the problems with bias.
- April 16, 2012 at 2:43 PM
And if we are honest with ourselves, we should recognize that this is often only one of two possible courses available to it in such situations--the other being to randomize the decision procedure entirely. But SCs would much rather be biased than fair, because at least they're getting what they want that way.
If I'm honest with myself I, first, do not automatically assume that search committees are racist or bigoted. Then I appreciate just how bad the market is. Then I put myself in the position of a SC member who has 30 excellent candidates but room to interview only 12.
Then I ask myself how I would break this kind of tie and which side considerations are justifiable. In my mind the following are all justifiable *and* more likely to have happened than simple bigotry:
1. You might be one of the best qualified but you seem to be a potential flight risk. I don't know if I will be able to secure funding again next year for another search so I don't want the candidate we hire to immediately jump back into the market next year.
2. If you are as qualified as you say (dozens of pubs, two books) then there is a decent chance I've met you before. If we didn't get along then there's a good chance I'll throw out your application. I'm looking for a colleague and you rubbed me the wrong way [this may or may not be defensible depending on why we didn't get along]
3. Your area of expertise is not exactly what we were looking for or overlaps too strongly with someone we already have in our faculty. Even if you are clearly superior to this person, there is little sense in hiring you when we already have someone covering that area.
4. Your cover letter or writing sample was poorly written in some way. I'm not saying that I would toss you out because you outed yourself but if the cover letter is also poorly written or seems to misunderstand the mission or aims of my university then I might toss you if we have others who are also qualified and had better letters. Furthermore if your cover letter was not up to snuff or simply just not as amazing as some others then even though you did everything right it could still be true that you just didn't measure up this time.
5. Your letters of reference implied that you would be a bad fit for this job. If this was a teaching heavy position and your letters say nothing about teaching and you yourself also say little about teaching (you did say you have had two post-docs which I assume means little teaching experience) then I'll pass you up all things considered.
6. I don't think it's entirely unfair to consider the quality or reputation of your dissertation advisers.
7. I hate gays so I pass you up.
It may very well be that you were an excellent candidate but for any number of reasons, not the least of which is 1-5 above, you just didn't make the cut. Maybe you were #13 on a list of the top 12, who knows. The problem is that it is a mistake, an understandable but still highly irrational and unfair mistake, to assume that a search committee decided against you because you outed yourself. There is no reason to think that heteronormativity ruled you out anymore than that your race or geographical location did.
You can keep believing that the one and only reason why you didn't get an interview is because you outed yourself but given the arguments amassed against you then you might as well believe that god told the search committee not to hire you.
- April 16, 2012 at 6:11 PM
"I have thirty publications plus two books and am five years post-Ph.D."
READING #1: In the last 5 years or so, you have managed to publish close to 30 standard length articles in top 20 general journals and/or tippity top specialty journals, as well as bust out two monographs with top presses. You fucking rule.
READING #2: Not counting book reviews, conference proceedings, discussion pieces, and edited anthologies, you still have a handful of publications in top journals and a monograph with a pretty decent academic press. Not too shabby for 5 years out. Well done, mate!
READING #3: Not counting book reviews, conference proceedings, your blog, letters to the editor, articles in journals unfamiliar to anyone outside or inside your field, textbooks with churn 'em and burn 'em presses, and books in the Philosophy of Pop Culture Series, you likely have a CV that is for utter shit. Your desperate need to pad, exaggerate. or just actively lie about your accomplishments makes you simultaneously deserving of scorn, pity, and a right hard smack to the face.
For starters, #1 is just obvious bullshit. I can think of 1 perhaps 2 people that come anywhere near this, and I am positive that you are neither. The mere fact that you would implicitly paint yourself such a ludicrously rosey picture strongly suggests that we abandon all good will and charity in order to bypass #2 and move you straight into the lying sack of shit space of #3. Furthermore, the fact that you obviously didn't merit an on-campus (and quite likely I suspect also failed to receive an initial interview) confirms your boasts to be little more than the fantastical delusions of a no-talent poser. Perhaps that had something to do with you not getting the job.

Wait, just one question; are you being ironical, or are you just plain stupid and mean? If you're being ironical, I just got it, which would make me stupid. But if you really are a mean stupid sob, well, that's that and nothing can be done about it...
- April 17, 2012 at 1:47 PM
I was being ironic, although I don't think that makes you stupid.
In a profession that has such obvious problems with sexism, racism, and classism, I, for one, do not find it all inconceivable that there gazillions of homophobes among us as well, that a sizeable portion of said homophobes sit on SCs, and that the homophobia of said homophobes occasionally works against LGBT job candidates.
- April 18, 2012 at 4:12 AM

Mort naturelle définie comme un « décès inattendu de cause cardiaque dans la première heure qui suit le début de symptômes ».
Dagres N, Hindricks G. Risk stratification after myocardial infarction: is left ventricular ejection fraction enough to prevent sudden cardiac death? Eur Heart J. 2013;34(26):1964-71 « A combined approach is probably the appropriate way to improve risk stratification in patients with reduced LVEF identifying subgroups that would not benefit from ICD implantation due to a low total risk or a very high competing risk for non-sudden death as well as in patients with preserved LVEF who represent the majority of SCD victims but are not considered for prophylactic ICD implantation. Although we do not know which stratifier combination yields the best results, LVEF will most probably remain part of our stratification scheme. Another principal uncertainty derives from the dynamic character of the SCD risk, which is changing over time, influenced for instance by left ventricular remodelling, development of heart failure, ischaemic episodes, or other factors that alter the electrophysiological substrate. Furthermore, the parameters used for stratification also change with time, as demonstrated for LVEF but also for other stratifiers.36 We currently do not know which is the optimal post-MI time point for application of these techniques and how often a periodic reassessment should be performed."

By Jessica Dye
(Reuters) – A U.S. appeals court on Wednesday reinstated part of a legal fight by AstraZeneca over a patent protecting its Pulmicort Respules asthma drug, months after the court temporarily halted competitors from distributing generic versions.
The ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit reverses an earlier decision that generic drugmakers -including Apotex Inc, Sandoz Inc and Watson Laboratories Inc -had not infringed an AstraZeneca patent relating to the drug.
The court left intact a finding that another AstraZeneca patent related to the drug was invalid.
AstraZeneca said in a statement Wednesday that it had "full confidence in the strength of its intellectual property rights" concerning the pediatric asthma drug.
The defendants were not immediately available for comment after regular business hours Wednesday.
AstraZeneca had filed suit earlier this year seeking to block the generic drugmakers from introducing versions of Pulmicort Respules. The defendants countersued, saying that the patents were invalid and that they had not infringed them.
The case went to trial, and in April a federal judge in New Jersey found that one AstraZeneca patent had not been infringed, and that another was invalid. AstraZeneca appealed, and in May the Federal Circuit issued a temporary injunction to block generic versions of the drug from being distributed in the United States.
Defendants Apotex, Watson and Breath Limited had received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the drug, and Sandoz received approval while the appeal was pending, AstraZeneca said in a statement.
None of the manufacturers have launched a generic product in the United States, although AstraZeneca has an agreement with Teva Pharmaceuticals allowing that company to sell a generic version, the company said.
According to a regulatory filing from AstraZeneca, Pulmicort generated $ 866 million in worldwide revenue for AstraZeneca in 2012.

A helpful guide when selecting automobile insurance, including local rates and common questions. Download the print version here.
Factors that Affect Premiums:
Insurance companies use a variety of factors to determine a policyholder's likelihood of experiencing an accident or loss. Some factors include but are not limited to: driving history; type of vehicle (including model, year and value); territory (where you garage and drive the vehicle); number of accidents; gender; age; and credit scores. Driving record history can only be used for three years.
How to Find the Best Rate:
Shop for the company or agent that offers the best service for the best price. If you have a clean driving record, avoid companies and agents that advertise to high-risk drivers. Their premiums often are higher. Get quotes from several companies before you buy. Make sure you understand what coverages are included and that you're comparing equivalent policies.
How Filing Claims Impacts Your Premium:
While Oklahoma law prevents an insurer from raising your premiums for not-at-fault accidents, they may apply surcharges when filing at-fault accidents or other types of losses. Also, the surcharges are not calculated based on the dollar amount of the claims files. For example, the surcharge applied is the same whether you filed a $1,500 or a $100,000 claim. The surcharges are typically applied for a three-year period and the penalty severity varies.
What To Ask Your Agent:
• Am I in your lowest-priced company/tier? If not, why not? • How can I get a better rate? • What payment plans do you offer and what are the fees associated with each plan?
You can save money on your premiums by increasing your policy deductibles. However, you'll have to pay more out of pocket if you have a claim. It is important to note that insurance is for catastrophic events and filing small claims may result in larger premiums due to applied surcharges.
Ways to Save Money:
You may qualify for discounts on your rates. A three-year discount is mandatory if you successfully complete an accident prevention course approved by the insurance company of the policyholder. This discount does not apply if the course is taken for any court order in connection with a motor vehicle violation or an alcohol/drug-related offense.
Other optional discounts may be available including, but not limited to: • Anti-theft devices • Anti-lock brakes, air bags or daytime running lights • Good student grades • Continued policy renewals • Drivers Education • Claims—Free Discount • Credit Score • Placing another type of policy with the same insurer
Oklahoma Automobile Insurance Plan:
If you are having problems finding auto insurance due to a high risk driver classification, you should contact Oklahoma's Automobile Insurance Plan at (405) 842-0844. This program may be able to connect you with insurance agents that may be willing to cover your automobile. Contact the Oklahoma Automobile Insurance Plan between 8 am and 5 pm, Monday – Friday.
Common Coverage Myths Regarding Private Passenger Auto Policies:
• The liability policy covers hit-and-run accidents and uninsured motorists.(Uninsured Motorists coverage is not included but can be added to the policy. • The policy pays for a rental car. (not included in basic insurance, but can be added) • The Uninsured Motorists policy covers property damage. (In Oklahoma it only covers Bodily Injury) • Your medical expenses will be covered if you are involved in an accident. (Med Pay can be purchased to assist with minor medical expenses) • The coverage follows the owner of the policy. (there is some coverage but you must meet the requirements to be covered. Look at your policy under Coverage for the Use of Other Cars) • There is no liability coverage for trailers. (there is coverage for liability when it is attached to your insured vehicle only) • Customization to the vehicle is covered. (You must buy an endorsement to cover customization, otherwise you will be reimbursed for the stock model vehicle. ) • Your vehicle is covered while you are participating in racing activities. (specifically excluded) • The policy covers theft of all personal property inside the vehicle. (homeowners/renters insurance would pay for stolen contents) • The collision or comprehensive coverage will pay off my car loan if the car is totaled. (It will only pay Actual Cash Value. You will need to buy a GAP policy to help pay off any additional money owed) • The policy allows me to have my vehicle towed at no additional cost if it breaks down. ( you can buy a towing endorsement for your policy. There are limits and possibly a deductible of $50.00 check with your insurance company for more details) • The policy will repair my windshield at no cost if it is damaged by debris. (this is not guaranteed as each company determines whether glass chipping is covered under their policy without deductible.)
How to Read Your Auto Declarations Page
While motorists have little control over escalating fuel prices, you may be able to save money by simply reviewing your auto insurance policies.
The policy you receive from an auto insurance company will have several parts:
What to Look for on a Declarations or Information Page
Visit this interactive web page to see an example declarations/information page
The above site explains the following:
1. Personal Information – Verify the address listed on the policy is correct. Parking your car in a garage, or even parking it off the street can mean lower premiums. Notify your agent if there has been parking changes since the policy was written. 2. Year, Make, Model, Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) – How much you pay is heavily based on the car you drive so make sure this information is accurate. If your declarations or information page is wrong, it could also cause problems if you file a claim. Do not get caught by increases when trading in your car. Call your agent for a quote before you buy. 3. Lienholder Information– If you obtained a loan to purchase your car, the lienholder will likely require that it be listed on the policy. If you have paid off the loan, call your agent to have the lienholder removed. Your agent or insurance company may ask for a copy of the new title (without the lienholder listed) or other proof you paid off the loan. 4. Coverages – For an overview of your coverage choices go to InsureUonline.org and click on your life situation. The auto tab includes explanations of the different coverages and some tips on evaluating your auto insurance needs. You can also download the NAIC Consumer's Guide to Auto Insurance here 5. Collision – The higher your deductible, the lower your premium. However, since this is the amount you have to pay if the car is damaged in an accident, make sure you will be comfortable paying the amount. 6. Comprehensive – This is sometimes referred to as "Other Than Collision" coverage. It is possible that removing the comprehensive and/or collision coverage from a policy could save some money. Before you decide to cancel comprehensive coverage weigh the value of the car and the cost to replace or repair it against what you would save in premium costs. 7. Premium – The amount of premium you are charged generally depends on a number of factors. You can find out more about the factors your company may use to determine your premium here. If you have questions about how your insurer determines your rates and what steps you can take to improve your risk profile, contact your insurance agent or insurer. 8. Discounts – When looking at your declarations or information page, you may see discounts listed at the bottom of the page. Typically, the company has included any discounts in the premium amount listed. Check the list of discounts to see what was included in your overall premium. Check here for a list of discounts typically available. If you think you are eligible for a discount you are not receiving, review with your insurance agent or insurer. 9. Agent Contact Details – If you have an agent, their name and contact information will likely be listed on your policy. You can always contact your insurance company directly if you have any questions.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (Blugolds.com) – Behind a career rushing performance by Joel Sweeney (Jr.-Tomah, Wis.), the UW-Eau Claire football team ended the season with a 28-7 victory over UW-River Falls at Carson Park on Senior Day today.
Sweeney completed the game with 281 rushing yards, a mark that ranks fourth best on the Blugolds' single game rushing records list. He carried the ball 32 times, an average of 8.8 yards per carry. Sweeney also had two rushing touchdowns today, the first being a 65-yard run, tying for the 19th longest run in school history. For the season, Sweeney finished with 1,223 rushing yards and 264 carries, which both rank fifth best in a single season for Eau Claire.
In a game where the Blugolds held the Falcons scoreless through the first three quarters, Eau Claire got on the board on its second drive of the game. The drive started after Tyler Janus (Sr.-Sussex, Wis./Hamilton) intercepted a pass on the Falcons' second play of the game. Austin Neu (Sr.-Iron Ridge, Wis./Hustisford) ended the eight-play, 66-yard drive early in the first quarter with a 16-yard touchdown pass to Austin Goetsch (Sr.-Waunakee, Wis.).
The Blugolds' next touchdown came just three minutes into the second quarter. On the third play of the drive, Sweeney took the ball 65 yards to the end zone, which helped give the Blugolds a 14-0 lead, an advantage they held at halftime.
In the third quarter, the Blugolds scored two touchdowns. The first one came from Sweeney, capping an eight-play, 53 yard drive with a 13-yard touchdown run. The second was a four-yard touchdown pass from Neu to Jy Corbett (Jr.-Port Edwards, Wis./John Edwards) with one minute remaining in the quarter. After three quarters, Eau Claire led 28-0.
River Falls finally got on the board in the fourth quarter with less than 11 minutes to play. It took the Falcons just five plays to find the end zone, ending the drive with a 43-yard touchdown pass. River Falls had three more opportunities the rest of the game but all three drives ended after the Blugolds stopped the Falcons on fourth down each time.
The Blugolds finished the game with 412 yards of offense, including 325 on the ground, the most the Blugolds have reached since a 369-yard rushing performance on Sept. 20, 2008 against Hope College (Mich.). River Falls had 371 total yards of offense, 315 passing and 56 rushing.
On offense, Nate Piel (Fr.-Wausau, Wis./West) led Eau Claire with 23 receiving yards on three catches while Neu went 12-for-20 for 87 yards passing.
On defense, Sean Graham (Jr.-Hales Corners, Wis./Whitnall) led the Blugolds with seven tackles. In addition to Janus, Coltan Ellis (Jr.-Rice Lake, Wis.) also intercepted one pass while Scott Burzynski (Jr.-Stanley, Wis./Stanley-Boyd) recorded a sack on the Falcons' final play of the day.
Both teams had trouble with penalties today. Eau Claire was flagged eight times for 96 yards, a season-high and the most for Eau Claire since the 2006 season, while River Falls had 14 penalties for 135 yards.
The Blugolds finish the season with a record of 4-6 overall and 4-3 in the conference to take fourth place while the Falcons complete the year with a 2-8 overall record and 2-5 in WIAC play, taking sixth. The 4-3 record in the WIAC for Eau Claire is its best mark since 2009 when the Blugolds also finished 4-3.

I am new to this forum and just starting with Funcube.
I am a teacher application programming in, mainly, C# and Arduino. On our school (ICT, technical, age between 17 and 21) we want to start a Funcube project. The goal is to make the rotation of Funcube visible. The first part will be to create a rotating object on screen. When this succeeds we want to take it a step further by putting a model of Funcube in a transparent globe and move it around by controlling stepper motors. For this we need to decode the raw Funcube data. I have taken a look at the data and it seems to be encrypted. Another option was to use the .csv WOD, however this seems to be incomplete since the Z+ and Z- solar panel data are missing (or are they..).
Is there someone who can tell me how the raw Funcube data is encrypted?

BRITISH POLICE SAY a man has been arrested at London's Heathrow Airport as part of an investigation into travel to Syria in support of alleged terrorist activity.
Scotland Yard said the 24-year-old, whose name and nationality were not provided, was taken into custody by counterterrorism officers after immigration officials stopped him once he arrived on a flight from Bahrain Monday morning.
Police said the man was arrested on suspicion of the "commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism" and is being questioned at a south London police station.
One man previously arrested in connection with the same investigation was charged in October with the kidnapping of two Western journalists in Syria.

KidLitosphere Central strives to provide a passage to the wonderful variety of resources available from the society of bloggers in children's and young adult literature.
Some of the best books being published today are children's and young adult titles, well-written and engaging books that capture the imagination. Many of us can enjoy them as adults, but more importantly, can pass along our appreciation for books to the next generation by helping parents, teachers, librarians and others to find wonderful books, promote lifelong reading, and present literacy ideas.
The "KidLitosphere" is a community of reviewers, librarians, teachers, authors, illustrators, publishers, parents, and other book enthusiasts who blog about children's and young adult literature. In writing about books for children and teens, we've connected with others who share our love of books. With this website, we hope to spread the wealth of our reading and writing experience more broadly.
What started as individuals blogging independently about children's and young adult books became a collective of like-minded people. While maintaining our own sites and unique perspectives, shared activities made us a thriving community. Now — with weekly celebrations of poetry and nonfiction, discussion groups, contests, social networks, an annual conference, and our own book awards — we've become a society.
This thing that Melissa Wiley dubbed the "KidLitosphere" has become a valuable resource that celebrates fiction and nonfiction, poetry and prose, authors and illustrators, writing and reading. Bloggers cover everything from picture books to young adult titles, writing process to publishing success, personal news to national events.
KidLitosphere Central strives to provide an avenue to good books and useful literary resources; to support authors and publishers by connecting them with readers and book reviewers; and to continue the growth of the society of bloggers in children's and young adult literature.
Welcome to our world.

App reviews: Wake up in a musical way with Pandora, plan sights to see with Peek
Peek tours and activities
Planning sights to see can be stress-free
We've all been there: You're on a trip with an over-planner, the type of person who is more focused on scheduling every second of a trip than enjoying it. Or maybe it's the other way around: You're in a city and realize you have no idea what to do. In either case, the travel site Peek and its new app could help, thanks to its carefully curated list of activities that you can book on the fly. The app, which combines its own editorial write-ups and user reviews, is designed to learn what activities are right for you, what's nearby, and it has the added bonus of showing only open reservations. So you can be sure that whatever Peek lists will be there for you if you want it. Free, for iOS devices.
Wake up a musical way
Every once in a while, it's good to revisit an old, favorite app - even one that might be collecting digital dust on your phone. In the case of the app for Pandora, the online radio service, the latest update brings something that could really please music lovers: an alarm clock feature. In a move that could give the service an edge (at least temporarily) over Apple's iTunes Radio, Pandora's lets you set an alarm, its snooze length, the station of your choice and the volume. For the alarm to work, you have to keep the Pandora alarm screen up while you sleep. And, as is the case with all clock alarms, don't forget to plug it in. The new feature hits iOS devices first but should roll out to Android devices soon. Free, for iOS and Android; $3.99 in-app purchase for ad-free listening.

I have inherited some code:
Process p = new ProcessBuilder("/bin/chmod", "777", path).start();
Basically, there is for some ancient and highly voodoo based reason for storing key/value pairs on disk as files. I don't really want to go into it.
However, I am left with a bunch of IO exceptions:
Exception :Cannot run program "/bin/chmod": java.io.IOException: error=24, Too many open files
Message: Cannot run program "/bin/chmod": java.io.IOException: error=24, Too many open files
And by a bunch I mean in the realms of 10k - millions
I get the feeling the waitFor call was to stop these from occurring waiting for the process to complete it and exit back, however I think the chmod is returning a result before the file is actually closed. Does anyone know if that would be the cause of these exceptions?
My other inclination is that the opening and closing of thousands of files is not happening quickly enough on the java end and that there is something else going on, maybe something like that there is some form of file buffer that isn't getting cleared out when fw.close() is being called.
I am pretty new to java and this was a hell weird one that has me stumped. (gladly the app still runs somehow.. after spitting out a very large log file that is)
Can anyone else think of a way to get around this, clearing buffers or increasing the files open limit to something where the jvm can keep up with itself (assuming that is the problem)

FTO Rose Over 50% In Last 14 Days – Did You Get Yours Yet?
For some reason, many didn't believe me when I said "hey, you should buy FuturoCoin right now while the price is only around $4 because it will never be this cheap again"!
In fact, not only were they not believing me but they were whining because they already had some FTO and they figured they should be rich already and were just complaining because it sat so "low" for a little while.
With the upcoming plans of what FutureNet is doing and the marketing tools that we, as affiliates, will have at our disposal.. I see the coin just continuing to rise for many years to come.
http://BuyFTO.com – Buy FTO now! 🙂
What is actually even better than simply buying FTO? Mining FTO. I understand – it doesn't all show-up in an instant but you get more of it than you would get from simply buying it. Something to think about!
Here's where you can register to begin mining the FuturoCoin: http://MineFTO.com
If already a FutureNet member, you don't need to register, simply login to to FNWallet.com with your FutureNet info. If that does not work, change your password but don't us any special characters in it.
