Scouring information available to anyone with an Internet connection, a team of genetic sleuths deduced the names of dozens of supposedly anonymous people who had their DNA analyzed for scientific and medical research.
The snooping feat, which took advantage of genealogy websites that let people compare their DNA to search for relatives, was in full compliance with federal privacy regulations. Experts said it underscored a stark reality about genetic privacy in the age of social media: Don't count on it.
"Nobody can promise privacy," said Mildred Cho, who heads up Stanford University's Center for Integration of Research on Genetics and Ethics, and wasn't involved with the study.
Whitehead Institute geneticist Yaniv Erlich and his team, who described their work Thursday in the journal Science, didn't provide a complete recipe that would help others ferret out the identities of research volunteers. Nor did they divulge the names of the people they were able to unmask.

Julia Lescova — Crush of the Day [PICTURES]
Julia Lescova was born in a small town in Latvia. In 2006, she won the title of 'Best Model in the World' and landed her first acting role in a popular television show in Turkey. Since then, Julia has worked on national campaigns for Guess and other top fashion brands and magazines.
While Julia is incredibly beautiful, were going to have to hear a little bit more about this 'Best Model in the World' crown. Exactly who sponsored the 'Best Model in the World' pageant? We're going to need to see some financial records. Not that we don't believe she could win, but because the title sounds very sketchy. It sounds like a variation of a trophy that grade school kids would compete for on the playground. "Ok, the next team that scores a goal is named 'Best Team In the Galaxy' and will go on to play the blue team for the overall crown of 'Most Awesome Group To Ever Play on the Earth.'"
We'd like to award our own trophy to Julia. Congratulations to her on winning the 'Best Model Named Julia We've Fantasied About Today.' She was a heavy favorite.

Chris Elsberry: UConn's 4 leaders step to the front
STORRS -- The question had been on Geno Auriemma's mind almost from the moment he returned from winning the gold medal at the London Olympic Games in early August and started putting his focus toward his real job -- coaching the UConn women's basketball team.
Who would be his leader?
Looking up and down the roster there wasn't a Maya Moore or a Tina Charles or a Diana Taurasi or a Rebecca Lobo (go ahead, throw a half-dozen other first-team All-American names out there) who could just put the team their shoulders and carry them all the way to the Final Four. And later, initially discussing that potential scenario with his coaching staff before the start of fall practice, Auriemma confessed that didn't think he had anyone who could become that kind of individual leader.
So, he called his four most experienced players -- Bria Hartley, Stephanie Dolson, Caroline Doty and Kelly Faris -- into his office and told them that they all had to be leaders.
All for one and one for all.
"I said, `Look, there's been some years when I just called Maya in the office or I just called Tina in the office or times when I just called either Sue or D or whatever,' Aureimma said before the season. "But since that doesn't appear to be the case this year, all of you guys are going to have to figure out a way to make this all work because you have the most invested in this."
So far, so good.
With Dolson planted on the bench after picking up her fourth foul with 16:15 left, it was -- who else? -- Auriemma's three Musketeers who picked up the slack against Duke Monday night. With Faris posting a double-double with 18 points and 12 rebounds (oh, she threw in six assists for good measure), with Hartley running the show, handing out a career-high nine assists, and with Doty doing a little bit of everything, UConn pulled away from a tight game to pound the Blue Devils 79-49 at Gampel Pavilion.
Leading the way was Faris, who not only has the heart of a lion, she's simply unstoppable. Case in point, with UConn up 26 late in the second half and coasting, Faris lunged and deflected a Duke pass out of bounds in front of the Huskies bench. And Auriemma, who was a bundle of energy himself on the sidelines, raced up to her and went "Gangnam Style" on her.
In a good way.
"Kelly Faris was amazing," Auriemma said after the game. "Man, oh man, that (performance) was one for the ages."
It sure was fun.
"I told them in the locker room, it's so much more fun out there when we play like that in the second half," Faris said. "We felt it. I think everyone in the gym felt it. It was something different. Something clicked and we had fun.
"It's exactly like (coach) said, we don't have one specific leader that's going to do everything that a leader does. We have a lot of different types of leaders. And I think tonight we showed, we as a team, not just us four, but as a team, how much we feed off each other and how much that can help us accomplish what we need to accomplish."
And at UConn, that means getting to the Final Four. At least.
Against the Blue Devils, Dolson, Faris, Doty and Hartley combined for 35 points, 20 rebounds, 16 assists and six steals. This season, the Four Musketeers are averaging 38.1 points, 17.7 rebounds, 14.1 assists and 6.7 steals. And usually, when one isn't playing up to her usual standards -- like Dolson tonight (six points) -- the other three always seem to rise to the occasion.
And they did.
"I think it's good," Hartley said. "You have Stef and she helps with all the post players and like me and Kelly and Caroline, we talk with the guards, so it's good. You see that dependency we have on one another. It's not just one person doing everything. It's like everyone has their little part. We all lead. We all follow. We all pick each other up. It's cool."

Welcome to the
Buddhist Congregation Dharmaling
Non-sectarian Buddhist Community based on Tibetan lineages,
with emphasis on application of spiritual and human values in every day life.
The Dharma taught by Shakyamuni Buddha is about the mind and the nature of our existence, about the causes of our suffering and the way to bring a cessation to it.
Dharma's Wisdom is universal, knows no border, is not hindered by colour of skin or social level. It was taught to help to deal with the root of all: our mind; and since the mind is the same worldwide, it is meant to all people of the World.
Dharma's Compassion is wide and doesn't recognize any sectarism, therefore has never launched any religious war since it exists (2600 years), is non-violent by definition, and promote Peace.
The strength of Buddha-Dharma is an unbroken lineage of Transmission from Masters to Disciples, on the basis of Shakyamuni Buddha and other Buddhas' Teachings. Unfortunately, it has been predicted that in our time, the Teachings will degenerate and will lead to a 'dark age'. Therefore, there is an urge to engage in a very ethical way, and to practice as well and as soon as possible.
In 2018, Dharmaling has become a member of the European Buddhist Union in order to cooperate with all its members, for the sake of Dharma and all sentient beings!
Dharmaling proposes:
- Regular teachings and practices
- Advises for the spiritual path
- Wedding blessing ceremony
- Prayers when passing away
- Visiting patient at hospitals, and prisons
- Workshops for children and adults, about ethical values, anger/anxiety managment, ...Contact
Buddhist Congregation Dharmaling promotes the Teachings of the Buddha following advises of the highest Lamas and Holy beings of past and present time. Yet, Dharmaling aims at transmiting Buddha's Wisdom in the ways the most appropriate to benefit all beings, adapted to the countries where it is taught. Dharmaling is leading a regular program, organising initiations, seminars and retreats.

The cotton industry is often compared to a large, extended family whose members may fight among themselves at times but, in the end, come together to achieve a common goal.
That feeling of family was very much in evidence as Farm Press Publications and The Cotton Foundation saluted the winners of 2011 High Cotton awards at a breakfast at the Beltwide Cotton Conferences in Atlanta today.
"I started off in the grain business and then spent 20 years in the peanut business," said Ronnie Lee, who received the High Cotton Award for the Southeast. "I've been in the cotton business since 1995. All the industries are good, but the cotton industry is the greatest."
Lee, who farms 3,500 acres to 4,200 acres of cotton annually with members of his own family near Bronwood, Ga., was referring to the special nature of cotton after accepting the bronzed Cotton Boll trophy that is presented to High Cotton winners from Southeast Farm Press Editor Paul Hollis.
Industry together
"The people, the way the industry is structured, all the programs and having help on the farm bill and other issues – that's what makes the cotton industry great," he said. "The cotton industry, all segments of it, are together at the end."
Lee, whose family farm operation includes a gin, a cotton merchandising concern and a grain trucking company, has served on the American Cotton Producers, the organization which represents the cotton producers segment. He also is chairman of the Farm Services Agency state committee in Georgia.
Cotton industry members help set the standard for agriculture organizations," said Far West High Cotton winner Bruce Heiden of Buckeye, Ariz.,, after accepting the bronze award from Western Farm Press Editor Harry Cline.
"The cotton industry has been very good to our family. You've heard some of the things we've been involved in. We also are involved in other ag organizations, and I'm here to tell you, as I think Ronnie said before, cotton people are probably the best without question and the most effective, and I think that's something for this industry to be very proud of.
"The whole cotton industry, as Ronnie pointed out earlier, is so organized, and we need that organization," said Ray Makamson, the High Cotton Award winner from the Delta Region wsho hails from Itta Bena, Miss. "We need to be represented in Washington in a way that we can use our strength.
"This is just such a great industry to be a part of," said Eric Seidenberger, the Southwest High Cotton winner from Garden City, Texas. "In a profession that does not get recognized very often for awards, I am humbled and honored to receive this award."
Super Bowl MVP
Seidenberger, who farms 2,950 acres – most of it cotton – said he was highly honored to be selected for the High Cotton award program, which marked its 17th year in 2011.
"Being a big football fan, I told my wife, Christy, I felt like I won the MVP at the Super Bowl. It really is the MVP among Southwest cotton producers. But there are many young farmers in my area and in the Southwest who are just as qualified as I am to receive this award.
Saying he "didn't know where to start," Southeast winner Ronnie Lee said he was very honored to receive the High Cotton award. "The only way I can do what I do is with the help of my family and my employees. All these things they talk about are things we producers all do.
"We just do it because that's what we're supposed to do. I always tell my boys we just need to do what's right."
Delta Farm Press Editor Elton Robinson, who presented the bronze Cotton Boll award to Makamson, said it was easy to see the Mid-South regional winner is considered a leader among his peers.
"It's not just one thing; it's several," said Robinson. "It starts with a forward-thinking management style. He's always thinking ahead. When it's planting time, Ray is usually focusing on what he needs to do to make irrigation and the harvest go smoothly."
Giving back to community
Besides having one of the most environmentally friendly farming operations in the Mississippi Delta, if not in the entire country, Makamson also has a special relationship with his employees at a time when labor shortages are hampering many farming operations.
"The relationship between Ray and his employees is neat. His workers are all from the Greenwood, Miss., area, and some are the sons of men who worked for him in the past. Ray has steadfastly given back to the community of this Mississippi town by hiring from the local labor pool."

Principal Parts of a Verb
Verbs are usually identified by their four principal parts: the infinitive, the present participle, the past tense form, and the past participle. The infinitive is considered the "base form" of the verb because it serves as the stem for other forms of the verb. In English, the infinitive is constructed with the preposition "to" followed by the base form of the verb (a verb without the "to" is sometimes called the "bare infinitive"). If a verb is a phrasal verb, which means it takes a preposition afterwards, the preposition is also included in the infinitive.
The present participle is created by adding "-ing" to the stem or base form. The present participle is also sometimes called the "active" or "progressive" participle. Because the present participle is almost always formed in the same way, by adding "-ing" to the base form, some manuals will omit the present participle as a principal part.
The past tense form is the form the verb takes in the third person singular. Some verbs follow a pattern in the past tense by adding "-ed" to the base form; these are called weak verbs. Other verbs do not follow a pattern and actually change by modifying the spelling of the base form; these are called strong verbs.
The past participle is usually the same as the past tense form, except with some strong verbs. In contrast to the present participle, which only has active uses, the past participle has both active and passive uses. It has a variety of functions in English, but the most familiar uses are in forming the passive voice and in modifying a noun.
Passive voice: The document was signed yesterday.
Modifier: The signed document appeared on my desk yesterday.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So why should you learn the four principal parts? The principal parts can help you with particularly tricky verbs like "lay" and "lie." They can also aid in the reivising process. If, for example, your instructor remarks that you overuse the passive voice in your writing, a little knowledge about past participles and their functions may help you to recognize problem areas in your paper.
Open Questions
- What are some noteworthy exceptions to the four principal parts schema?
- Are there verbs that do not quite fit this pattern? Why? (of course there are, but that is for another post!)

The quality of Hanppuri is extraordinary as it's essential for al our products to pass CJ's internal quality standards, which are stricter than those mandated by the law. Also, CJ thoroughly monitors pesticide residues by conducting a residue test on more than 400 types of pesticides every year so that consumers can consume safe ginseng.
There are countless foods that are said to be good for the body, but Hanppuri demonstrates that ingredients grown and produced in our land are the best fit for Koreans. Hanppuri is made up of local specialties with unique properties that change by land, season and water, such as Geumsan Ginseng grown in the homeland of Korean ginseng and Namhae Black Garlic gifted with distinctive energy obtained after living through strong sea winds.
Now, Hanppuri has turned from a grated ginseng root to "Korean root" which represents genuine Korean power. With over 60 years of dedication to excellence in taste, quality and safety as a leading food & beverage company, CJ offers natural energy that rejuvenates the consumers' lives. We aim to enter the world market so that Hanppuri filled with Korea's wisdom and energy can be also relished by people around the world.
"Our ancestors kept themselves healthy by eating raw ginseng roots, so why can't we modern people do the same?" In 2004, Hanppuri came into the world as an answer to this question. For the first time in the world, a ginseng root was bottled with our ultra-fine powder technology, enabling the root to be eaten whole.We succeeded in preserving and processing ginseng roots through a difficult and delicate process without losing nutrients , and made it easy for consumers to have it anytime, anywhere. CJ CheilJedang's Only One technology is the key that allows Hanppuri to hold the top spot as the number one Korean ginseng beverage for over the past decade.
Hanppuri incorporated the 9 times steaming & drying method, which was also applied to ginseng our ancestors presented to the royal family. The method of 9 times steaming & drying increased the level of polyphenols in the strictly selected quality raw ingredients used in Hanppuri. We steamed and dried ginseng, balloon flower and kudzu containing strong energy received from our land to ensure their nutrients remain intact.
It is not concentrated through boiling. It is the nation's first invigorating extract concentrated with low-temperature centrifugal concentration technology. To minimize nutrient loss due to heat, we formed concentrates of the raw ingredients at a low temperature using the centrifugal force and retained their original taste, flavor and fragrance.
Hanppuri is a genuine friend whom you can meet anytime, anywhere and never fails to give you energy whenever you feel exhausted. The charm of its design makes you feel energetic just by its looks. We will continue to reinterpret the great heritage of the Korean root for modern people.
In particular, Hanppuri has been loved by people during national holidays as a handsome, wonderful gift. Hanppuri Gift Package, which embodies the unique beauty of tradition, is the best present for your family and contacts. Express your appreciation with Hanppuri Gift Package that we have prepared with all our heart.

One girl's twistedly fantastic interpretation of what the hell is really going on in those tribes.

Carter: Narcoleptic Parrot
This is Carter. Carter is 24 years old and stars in Amy Heckerling movies. He was once married to Madonna, but that was tumultuous and short-lived. He then hooked up with the "Run Forrest, run" chick from Forrest Gump, but he cheated on her all the time and became a Haitian or something.
When Carter isn't busy hanging out with Eddie Vedder and banging twenty-something starlets, he coaches track and lives to motivate and inspire people. He likes to express himself using exclamation points which is a little unnerving! I know I do it too! But I do it out of exasperation! I do it with panache! Not like, I can't wait to play Survivor for the glory! I love my dad! That guy is a champ! My mom would dominate this game! I hate lazy people! Hey bud, let's party!
Oh Carter. Already, I can picture his voice in my head. It's slightly nasal and it wants another bong hit. Let's see if I'm right. Please to enjoy:
What a meek little Jell-o mold. He's wilting and the pineapple chunks are oozing out. *yawn* What a bore! (that was definitely an exclamation point of exasperation right there) Who casts Survivor? I want to have a word with that mental midget. How did this guy make it past a pre-interview? I mean, come on! (that one is bordering on anger) THIS is who you choose to take up a space on one of my favorite shows. A narcoleptic parrot with douche hair? Oh ffs! (that one punched a hole in the wall and got a bloody hand)
So, what do we think of... WAKE UP! No snoring when you read my blogs. Wake the hell up people. What do we think of Carter? Comment it out bitches and a have a great.... *snore*

Q. Must those who have received a vasectomy or a tubal ligation have it reversed to "be right" with God and the Church?
A. Here is a reply from Father Francis Hoffman, J.C.D.:
No, those who have been sterilized do not have to have the procedure reversed in order to "'be right' with God and the Church." It is sufficient that they truly repent and express their contrition in the Sacrament of Penance and receive God's mercy. However, if they do attempt to reverse the procedure, that would be an unmistakable and praiseworthy sign of true and profound repentance. Short of that, some couples refrain from marital intimacy during those periods that the woman might have been fertile in an attempt to mirror "natural family planning," and that, too, is a praiseworthy — though not mandatory — expression of repentance. I know of one couple who had their procedure reversed, and God blessed them with two more children. How beautiful!

MASSACHUSETTS-BASED Safety Research & Strategies recently sent a request to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to require "born-on" dates for passenger car tires and included an analysis of 50 crashes involving older tires. SRS President Sean Kane said rubber can begin to degrade after six years even if the tires have never been used.
However, most passenger vehicle tires already have a date stamped on them. The date is a small tag placed in the mold, and it is formed into the tire sidewall when cured. These usually have the week and year of manufacture (although some manufacturers might use weeks based on a fiscal year).
We called the Firestone Ag Tire factory in Des Moines, IA, to find out if tractor tires are handled in a similar way. Here is engineer Jay Wheeler's response:
"Firestone stamps manufacture dates on farm tires, too. [The first two numbers are the week and the second two numbers are the year.] We also code the tires with the particular curing press and side, if dual cavity, but that means nothing to the consumer.
"All rubber is subject to ozone depletion, and that produces cracking. Any old tractor tire will show this. Part of what happens is when a tire is new the protective oils in the rubber work out to the surface to ward off the ozone. On a tractor (or any tire) that stands idle in the sun long enough, this gets worn away and the degradation is accelerated.
"Rubber does harden up over time. One of our field engineers notes a higher-than-normal adjustments rate for farmers who take their brand-new tires out to 'bush hog' a rough piece of ground. The supple new rubber is more sensitive to puncture and damage than its grizzled old counterpart."

Release Date: July 20, 2012
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- For some time now, Josephine Anstey, associate professor of media study at the University at Buffalo, has been working with audience participants to explore not only the history, but the experience of diverse and radical theories of mind.
She does this through interactive performance workshops she calls "Improvising Consciousness Medicine Shows."
The performances/games are free, deliberately mind-boggling, mind-opening and coming to a "theater" near you. They will include, among other things, a lecture, a tank-bound "alien" and his avatar, and a game in which participants control robots serving as their avatars.
Anstey explains that specific exercises will permit participants the phenomenological experience of alternative mind configurations -- minds that may well have described a very different experience of being human in the distant past, and others that suggest quite a different future for us, cognitively speaking.
Participants will be able to experience the bicameral mind posited by a radical hypothesis of Julian Jaynes. It holds that, until around 1200 BC human beings had no awareness of consciousness at all, but obeyed the voices of gods (or neurological commands) that they actually heard in their heads.
They also will explore an imagined future, a "Multi-Mind" that marries the concept of multi-personality disorder and the fluidity of Internet-enabled personality. This experience will build on the provocative insights of media theorist Roseanne Stone and Truddi Chase, author of "When Rabbit Howls," about living with multiple personality disorder.
Workshops will be presented in the Manny Fried Theatre, 255 Great Arrow Ave., Buffalo, third floor, July 27-28 from 6-7:30 p.m.
They also will be presented at Burning Books, 420 Connecticut St., Buffalo, on July 29 from 5:45-7:15 p.m. and Aug. 1 from 5-6:30 p.m.
This project is supported by the UB Digital Humanities Initiative and the UB Department of Media Study, and the Department of Computer Science, Canisius College.
The Improvising Consciousness production team includes Anstey; Dave Pape, associate professor of media study at UB; Deb Burhans, associate professor of computer science and engineering at Canisius College; UB media study graduate students Neil Coletta and Devin Wilson; and Courtney Hatten, an undergraduate computer science student at Canisius College.
Patricia Donovan has retired from University Communications. To contact UB's media relations staff, call 716-645-6969 or visit our list of current university media contacts. Sorry for the inconvenience.

ASUS P7P55D Deluxe P55 Lynnfield Motherboard Preview
Layout and Features
ASUS took some time out over the month of July to wander around the country showing off its new P55-based motherboard, the P7P55D Deluxe. You will likely remember my video preview of another ASUS P55 offering - the P7P55D EVO - from just a couple of weeks prior. While I didn't get the chance to get this new motherboard captured with the camcorder I did have some information that I wanted to share with our loyal readers. Keep in mind that while some motherboard companies are actively working with us to get information to you all BEFORE the Lynnfield CPU launch, other motherboard vendors like Gigabyte are forcing us to keep data on their products hidden, for some incomprehensible reasons. Kudos goes out to ASUS for looking after the consumer first and foremost.
There are three total PCIe x16 slots, two of which are split off of the main PCI Express bus coming from the Lynnfield CPU itself - a new feature to the processor. When just a single of the slots is used it will run at x16 speed though with two cards (for SLI, CrossFire or just multi-monitor support) both will run at x8 speeds. The third slot runs at x4 speed and is powered by the Intel P55 chipset directly.
Storage includes 6 SATA 3.0 Gb/s connections from the P55 chipset and 3 additional ports courtesy of a pair of JMicron controllers. While there was planned support for SATA 6.0 Gb/s technology on the board originally, it was removed when the problems with the Marvell chipset were found last month.
Dual Gigabit LAN, 8-channel audio powered by a VIA chipset and Firewire round up the overall feature set and connectivity options. We should note the lack any eSATA or even USB-powered eSATA ports on the board though...
ASUS Xtreme Design
Along with the new features of the P7P55D Deluxe, and the entire line of P55 motherboard, ASUS is introducing a new initiative they are calling "Xtreme Design". It will attempt to gain traction with consumers by focusing on three key areas: performance, safety and reliability. The performance aspect comes from a range of feature upgrades and overclocking options available in both software and in the BIOS itself.
What is probably most crucial to our readers about all this stuff is the re-introduction of a crucial piece of technology missing over the past years: the Turbo button.
That's right boys and girls, the new ASUS motherboards will allow you to use the cases primary power button to initiate TURBO MODE just like the days of your 386! I'm not making this up - and I also think it's a cool feature - to enable a hardware button for a preset overclocking profile that will work on basically ANY chassis design available today.
There are other crucial new additions to the motherboards that come along with the Xtreme Design initiative including 16+3 phase controller, new and improved TurboV overclocking software, Stack Cool 3+ that offers 2 oz of copper and super ML capacitors to name just a few. We'll be going into more detail on these features when we get the board in-house for future testing.
While we STILL cannot show you performance results for the Intel Lynnfield processors and platform, the more we are learning about the support that companies like ASUS are throwing behind the platform, the more excited we get. ASUS is obviously pushing hard for its P55 motherboards to become the de-facto standard for users looking to build new systems or to upgrade their current ones and if the final products can live up to the expectations that ASUS is setting, I think they will be making a strong case for that goal.
We are eagerly looking forward to this coming fall and putting in some quality testing time with all of these products!

At Work: Employee puts her needs over clients'; some people deserve to be fired
by Lindsey Novak
Q: I've been going to a gym for two years now, and I am having a problem with one of the employees. She is a part-time yoga instructor, and she spends several hours a day in the exercise room practicing yoga routines. Whenever she's there, she demands that the heat be turned up to 90 degrees. She says she will develop problems if it's not. She will not allow the heat to be lowered and is rude to me if I ask her to lower it or lower it myself. I am a paying member. I should not have to accommodate the wishes of an employee, yet if I approach the temperature gauge, she snaps at me to leave it. The room is for everyone's use when there is no yoga class. If I were to complain, what action should the manager take? If he didn't want to reprimand her, would he then get in trouble?
A: It sounds as if you would rather not complain, but this gym's employee is out of control and doesn't know her place. Customers' needs should be placed above employees' needs, and your request for the temperature to be less than 90 degrees seems more than reasonable. It also sounds as if the manager might be a bit afraid of this yoga instructor, which is absurd. It's kind of you to be overly tolerant of her, but she needs a lecture on customer service and the proper way to treat paying members. Go ahead and complain, and if the manager is fearful of her, go above his head and complain to the gym's owner. This yoga instructor deserves to be scolded.
Job Requirements Must Be Met, Even Under Americans With Disabilities Act Protection
Q: I have a 40-something daughter who is diagnosed with and takes medication for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. She is single with two children. She lost her job and is having difficulty paying her bills. I'm wondering whether the expanded definition of "disabled" under the Americans With Disabilities Act would help her. We don't live in the same state.
A: The ADA is a federal act, so state location is not crucial. There are, though, many facts surrounding her employment and being let go that would have to be reviewed by a lawyer to determine whether she is covered by the ADA. The government's Web site is not easy to use, so this is one subject on which she may want to consult a legal aid organization because she is in financial trouble. If the ADA does not cover her past situation, she will find out how to proceed in finding future employment. Having a disability doesn't mean a person can obtain a job just because of that disability; that person must be qualified and able to do the work required.
Unemployment Amount Determined by State
Q: My wife's company, where she has worked for 13 years, has informed its employees they must take a temporary 20 percent pay cut. If she eventually is laid off, will her unemployment be based on her new salary?
A: State laws determine the qualifying requirements for benefit amounts. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, "The states have developed diverse and complex formulas for determining workers' benefit rights." That said, each state determines a past time period, called the base period. The benefits depend on the time worked in a past time period. Because your wife doesn't know the length of time for the temporary wage reduction, she may want to start a job search or realistically viewing the job availability in her field.

The Steelers are 0-4 for the first time in 45 years, leading some to ask what changes will be coming over the bye week.
According to running back Le'Veon Bell, not too many. Bell said Tuesday that the team isn't planning to overhaul anything in an effort to halt their losing streak.
"We're going to keep working. We're not going to change nothing," Bell said, via Alan Robinson of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "Eventually, things will start going our way. We've got to keep chipping away. Nothing is easy in the NFL, so we've got to keep chipping away."
The point Bell's making is clear, despite the double negative. Giants coach Tom Coughlin recently pointed out his own team hasn't had a problem with effort on their way to 0-4 and effort hasn't seemed to be the problem for the Steelers either. They've been beaten at the point of attack on both sides of the ball, have a -11 turnover ratio and have the fewest sacks of any team in the AFC. While the team can't afford to dial back their effort, just chipping away at the same old thing isn't likely to produce markedly different results.
That said, it's going to be hard for the Steelers to implement any radical changes to their personnel or schemes four games into the regular season so they don't have much recourse beyond hoping that things will eventually start going their way.

Preemie Child Mailing List for parents of children born premature who are now school age or older.
Purpose | How to Join | Rules | Instructions | Meet Members | How It Started | Our Childrens Gallery
The Preemie Child mailing list, founded in 1997, provides support and information on the long term impacts of prematurity for parents of school age preemies. Parents of children 4 years or older who were born prematurely are welcome.
Children who are born very prematurely may have disabilities and special needs, including medical, physical and psychological impacts, which continue to require attention as they enter school and society. These disabilities and special needs are often difficult to address because they may be "invisible" and multiple. This listserv brings our families together for support to learn from each other's experiences.
Examples of special needs related to premature birth include:
The purpose of the list is to assist parents in raising their children, so that their child and adult preemies may reach their full potential. The underlying assumption of this group is that our children are valued members of our families and of society, who may need additional support, information, care and understanding as they grow up, and beyond.
Premature birth itself lets to a wide range of potential outcomes, which are represented within our group - from miniscule to severe, from emotional to physical, from head to foot! As in society, our group of preemie parents is diverse, representing many different values, education levels, and personalities. Our underlying unity is to explore the long term impacts - physical, emotional, and otherwise - of prematurity, and to support one another in the care of our children. Participation in this group is predicated upon an atmosphere of polite respect and consideration towards one another (and our children), and by our agreement to cheerfully abide by the basic list rules.

Comics Review: WALT DISNEY'S COMICS AND STORIES #703 (Boom! Kids, January 2010)
I certainly wouldn't have minded seeing a few extra pages from Castellan -- even if it would have messed up that great cliffhanger -- but Boom! serves up an out-of-left-field backup story, giving us part one of Alberto Savini and Abramo Leghziel's "Peg-Leg Pete and the Alien Band." This thing is just plain weird. To wit: (1) "Peg-Leg" Pete has both feet intact; (2) Pete is abducted bodily out of his bathtub in a manner not unlike that of the Elephant Girl in DuckTales' "Duckworth's Revolt" (the Elephant Girl's tub came with her, but I doubt that any force in the universe is powerful enough to lift both Pete's tub and his body at once); (3) Pete's alien abductors appear to be the "love children" of an unidentified Muppet and The Way-Outs. Evidently, the aliens intend to "change Pete's skin," for whatever cockamamie reason. A pre-story blurb attempts to tie Pete's travails, however loosely, to the events of "World to Come" ("With Mickey otherwise occupied, who will keep Mouseton safe from the sinister machinations of Peg-Leg [sic] Pete?"), but it hardly seems necessary. I will admit, though, that I can easily hear Jim Cummings providing Pete's voice in this story. I can hardly wait for Pete to snap out of his initial fright and try to sell the aliens a used spaceship...

You should be able to see that original story in two months' time, as Boom has announced it for the upcoming "Mouse Mayhem" Classics compilation.

Great news! It might have been better had the original story preceded the debut of "World to Come," but I'm certainly not complaining.
Is the little boy inventor (Everett) who created the Atombrella going to appear in "World to Come" as well?
- February 18, 2010 at 9:04 PM
- ramapith said...
As you'll see, Everett didn't create the Atombrella—Eega Beeva did. Everett was simply the only scientist who would deign to help Eega actually test the Atombrella; adult scientists thought Eega was too wacky to take seriously.

I would have also liked to have had the "Mouse Mayhem" Classics compilation out in time to reference it for "World To Come"... but sometimes, you have to go with what's approved for print. :D
We knew we wanted to include that story in the compilation, but it wasn't approved for print by Disney, hence I didn't refer readers to the hardcover in case it fell through.
Sometimes there is a method to our madness!
- February 22, 2010 at 8:22 PM
I was hoping you'd review this one eventually - glad you did! When I saw that painted cover on Boom!'s web site, I was ready to cry, "Mouse comics Rennaisance! Thoroughly Gottfredsonian!" ... but realized I shouldn't jump the gun, and wait and actually read the thing. And now that I have, I've received it as well as you have. Color me pleased!
David, glad to see that you're involved at Boom! now!

Enable IPv6
0.25pre [8bf5157] allows users the option of connecting to MythTV via IPv6
IPv6 Configuration
Interfaces typically have multiple IPv6 addresses. For help picking the right one, see #Which IPv6 address should be used?.
If IPv6 is known to be working, just complete the following. Otherwise, see #Prerequsites.
Stop all frontends and backends.
mythtv-setup on the Master Backend, go to the General page, enter the
address of choice in the
Local Backend IP address: and in the
Master Backend IP address: fields.
The fields should look like this.
Local Backend IP address: fd01:a:b:1::123 Master Backend IP address: fd01:a:b:1::123
Note that addresses aren't enclosed in brackets (
[]) nor is there
a trailing percent sign and Scope ID (
mythtv-setup to configure any slave
backends with their own IPv6 addresses.
Restart the backend(s). Frontends will connect to them via IPv6 as they're restarted.
Which IPv6 address should be used?
The most likely choice is a Unique Local Address (ULA.) Use ULA's if all access to the backend will be within a LAN.
[Note that ULAs have bit 8 set and are, therefore, global addresses - no self respecting router will pass these addresses out on the internet.]
Use a search engine and look for: 'Unique Local Address generator' to find a site that will create ULAs correctly.
Details on constructing ULAs can be found in RFC 4193.
MythTV must have a globally routeble (e.g.
2001:db8::1) address configured only
if it is necessary to run MythTV from a frontend/slave located outside
of the Master Backend's LAN.
Site Local (
fec0::/10) addresses were deprecated in 2004.
Host (::1) and Link Local (
fe80::/64) addresses are not
routable and shouldn't be used.
To list currently assigned IPv6 addresses, type:
ifconfig ethX | grep inet6
inet6 addr: fe80::222:22ff:fe22:2222/64 Scope:Link inet6 addr: fd01:a:b:1::123/64 Scope:Global inet6 addr: 2001:db8::123/64 Scope:Global
In the above, the middle address is probably the best choice. It is also probably one that must be assigned manually.
If the desired address doesn't exist, use the configuration tool provided with the host's distribution to add it.
Entries in
/etc/hosts (DHCP, router etc.) are optional. The following
is an example for one host:
192.168.1.123 masterbe.local masterbe fd01:a:b:1::123 masterbe.local masterbe 2001:db8::123 masterbe.local masterbe
Back to #IPv6 Configuration
Verify that IPv6 is active on each MythTV host.
If ssh, for example, is known to work, a simple test (run from the Master Backend) is:
for HOST in <list all frontend and slave backends here> do ssh -6 $HOST ls -l /bin/ls done
If the test works for all frontends and slave backends, the system is ready for conversion.
If the above fails, see the following section.
Back to #IPv6 Configuration
What if there's a problem
- Make sure IPv6 hasn't been disabled either system wide or for the interface MythTV will use. Type:
sysctl -a | grep ipv6
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 0 net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 0 net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 0 net.ipv6.conf.eth0.disable_ipv6 = 0
- If:
net.ipv6.bindv6only = 1
and IPv6 is active and the MythTV system is sill configured with IPv4 addresses, clients will fail to connect until they are converted to use IPv6 addresses, as IPv4 addresses won't be able to connect to the backend (#9820, #9840 and #10165.)
- Some distributions keep these options:
/etc/sysctl.d. Look for file names like
60-bindv6only.conffor example, and put
net.ipv6.bindv6only = 0in it.
- Be sure any firewalls have been adjusted to accept the IPv6 addresses being used.
- MySQL connections are currently selected by the information in config.xml and mysql.txt files. Unless a version of MySQL that supports IPv6 is being used, no changes are required.
- If there are entries in
/etc/hosts(etc.), for both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses that have the same hostname (which is perfectly legal,) make sure the host's preferences pick IPv4 first.
/etc/gai.confmay exist and control this.
Back to #IPv6 Configuration
Tools and sample output
These examples are all from a host with
running and using IPv6. MySQL is running and using IPv4.
Obviously, they can be run on frontends and slave backends.
Warning: The output of some tools and in logfiles may expose IPv6 addresses. Some addresses contain a modified MAC address or globally addressable IPv6 addresses. When posting output to a public form, consider camouflaging them.
To make sure
mythbackend and
are listening for connections:
sudo netstat -pant | egrep '3306|6543'
When the backend is running, but no frontends are connected, expect:
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3306 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1436/mysqld tcp6 0 0 :::6543 :::* LISTEN 2123/mythbackend
With a frontend connected, expect:
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3306 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1436/mysqld tcp 0 0 192.168.1.123:3306 192.168.1.200:33878 ESTABLISHED 1436/mysqld ... tcp6 0 0 :::6543 :::* LISTEN 2123/mythbackend tcp6 0 0 fd01:a:b:1::123:6543 fd01:a:b:1::456:35220 ESTABLISHED 2123/mythbackend tcp6 0 0 fd01:a:b:1::123:6543 fd01:a:b:1::456:35219 ESTABLISHED 2123/mythbackend
If installed,
nmap may help diagnose the reason
that a connection fails. For example, a firewall
could be blocking access.
nmap -P0 -p 3306,6543 -6 --reason someHostName
The expected response is:
PORT STATE SERVICE REASON 3306/tcp closed mysql conn-refused 6543/tcp open mythtv syn-ack
Port 3306 fails in this test, as expected, because the MySQL version
doesn't support IPv6 (remove the
-6 flag above and this will work.)
As always, both
mythbackend and
can be started with additional logging enabled:
mythbackend --verbose general,network --nodblog --quiet \ --logpath=/var/log/mythtv --loglevel=debug
A currently running backend's logging can be changed with:
mythbackend --setverbose network --quiet --nodblog

Corps launches lifejacket campaign
"Wear a lifejacket."
It's a simple, potentially life-saving message U.S. Army Corps of Engineers officials hope to convey through an awareness campaign – with a Bulldog twist.
Corps officials are in the process of distributing posters bearing the image of Bully – the Mississippi State University mascot – and Buddy Beaver, the water safety mascot for the Corp's Mobile Division.
Males age 18-36 are the predominant demographic among those who drown on Corps of Engineers projects, said Joseph L. Ponder, natural resource specialist/ranger with the Corps's Tennessee Tombigbee Waterway Management Center. Ponder is the office's water safety coordinator.
Corps officials recently developed the poster targeted "to the whole fan base. In doing that it will reach the ones who are drowning," Ponder said.
"We're proud of this and what MSU did for us," he said, expressing thanks to MSU and the university's Spirit Groups, head coached by Melissa Nichols.
Officials plan to distribute the poster at MSU and around the city, he said, trying to get it out at the beginning of football season in advance of Labor Day.
In the Corps' Mobile District this year, two females and 14 males have drowned, according to Corps statistics.
The average age was 31. None wore lifejackets.
Some 4,000 to 6,000 drownings of all types take place annually.
After wearing a lifejacket, the next thing people need to know is how to swim and the other is being on the watch, Ponder said.
Corps officials offer key points on water safety. These include:
• Enter the water only when conditions are safe; wear a life jacket; use the buddy system while swimming, snorkeling or diving.
• Warn others never to jump, dive or swim in unfamiliar waters.
• Don't mix alcohol with activities around the water. Make good choices if consuming alcohol or if with others who are.
Ponder provided a basic guide on how to approach someone who is drowning:
• Reach. Get something – a piece of wood, a limb, a rope – to reach out to the person in the water.
• Throw. Toss anything that floats – including a boat cushion or cooler – to the person. "Be innovative," Ponder said.
• Don't Go. People should not try to go into to the water on their own to try to help a drowning person. Instead, they should try to get help and call 911.
"It needs to be a very thoughtful process," he said.
TTWMC personnel have made more than 25,000 water safety contacts this year, Ponder said.
For information on water safety through the U.S. Corps of Engineers, visit http://watersafety.usace.army.mil/safetytips.htm or call (662) 327-2142 to hear a water safety message or to speak with a ranger about the subject.

Are you 100% sure you hold worldwide rights to whatever these films are? It's not exactly new for releases of the same film to be put out by rival companies in other territories at the same time... Although there are some very unethical Euro-labels it has to be said [mostly continental]. So unless you've got some hidden watermark in your print OR unless someone is stupid enough to leave a CR credit on their alleged bootleg release you'll have a struggle proving anything. As to English DVD companies pinching your titles - they must be obscure labels then because the only two doing 70s Splatter/Euro-Horror regularly are 'Shameless' and 'Arrow', even Vipco seems to have dried up.
However, as a photographer I fully understand the frustrations of copyright theft and piracy... I come down like a ton of bricks on people like that.
We don't need any more obstacles to getting much sought after titles on 'region zero' CR DVD... Although they sometimes take several years to squeeze out they are worth having when they arrive - especially as I cannot imagine anyone else doing such a thorough job on low-budget obscurities like The Strangeness, Madman, Night of the Demon, let alone the long awaited 'holy grail' of horror 'Nightmare' - which is my birthday gift to myself.

Sometimes a company has worldwide or just North American rights to a film. It just depends on the contract. However, what Code Red is getting at with this post, is that after they have token the time to remaster something and include bonus features, that other companies are lifting that for themselves overseas. They are burning a copy of their films and then mass producing and selling it as though they did they work at remastering it, etc.
I really hate what all these thieves have done to the home video market. They have pretty much destroyed it.

It saddens me to hear things like this. We've been battling the same sort of thing for years and we've been successful in squashing many illegal releases of our product. Just recently, a US distributor was caught bootlegging our DEADLY SPAWN DVD... even so far as using our original cover art, UPC code and full project menus, etc. without our permission. The giveaway was the awful reproduction of the cover without the gold foil we used on the paper showing up on their scan!
It sucks, but it's an expensive venture to go after these thieves and I can totally sympathize with CR on their plight. We're all in the same boat. It's absolute hell for indie DVD companies to continue to survive with things like this and torrent sites uploading releases as son as they are out.

Suing people in other countries sure is a breeze. ::rollseyes::

I'm very sad to hear that. I'm french and if I understand well, it's "Artus Films" who stole your masters. It's really sad because it's very difficult to get some rare movies on dvd in France, we often need to deal with import and sometimes it's very expansive, with no subtitles and everything... so it was a good thing to have a french label with grindhouse and rare titles... But I really don't approve this method. Code Red made such a great work, it's a shame to do that. I don't know if my english is clear but I hope you gonna find a way to solve tis problem.

According to Retroslashers, Code Red were dumb enough to expect a translator who works for another DVD publisher to transcribe the Scavolini interview - why would a competitor do it, you gave them a great chance to roll you over!!
Any US/Italian bilingual University student in need ot rent money could've done the translation.
It's almost as if Code Red put this feature on to say "Here you are, you've been moaning coz we broke all our promises AND ignored genuine customer enquiries on this title for months/years, have the bloody interview without subtitles if the DVD is that urgent, and see how you like it..." Probably not so far from the truth given that CR is prone to dramatic outbursts.

To those thinks it easy file a overseas lawsuit. Got $5,000 and a overseas lawyer?
BTW, STATUE is legit in UK and did extremely well compare to my release.
eyecatcher, I believe release 6 code red titles and never paid a dime. They are enjoying the money they made.
I don't understand trolls posting about NIGHTMARE subtitling garbage on this thread. Stop, wake-up, and pause for a second. Yes, you can traslate the interview, but how the hell can you get it in the actual image? All subtitle company wanted $5,000 to $1,800. This dvd didn't even sell that much to pay kind of money.

This reminds me of all the crap Synapse heard about their Street Trash release. People would not stop nagging them, they said they wanted to finish the documentary, and were also trying to track down one of the starts.
That wasn't good enough for some people, they started questioning if Synapse would ever release Street Trsah, or if Synapse even had the rights at all! So, Synapse decided to toss a single DVD release out there, to pacify some people, until they finished the documentary. Still, people complained.
About a year or two later, they released a two-DVD release, with the documentary. From what I recall, they still were unable to locate that actress for the documentary. Once again, certain people complained, saying they felt ripped off by Synapse, as though they fooled people into buying the single-DVD release.
I think Code Red did fine with this release. I actually find it funny the way that interview was thrown on their, without subtitles. Who knows, maybe down the line Code Red will release a blu-ray of this title, with subtitles on the interview! I'm sure eventually someone else, out there on the internet, will eventually translate and type a transcript to read. If anything, it gives some people an incentive to learn another language!

Just because someone posts a few comments containing criticism about an aspect of your product that displeases them doesn't mean they are 'trolls'.
Has it dawned on you that the people that made those comments weren't aware of the process or money involved in subtitling video on your discs? Maybe if you worked a little harder at pleasing your customers rather than alienating them, you may make a little cash so you can afford to properly release an extra worth watching.
Bottom line, you need our money and as I do the ordering in the video department at the large chain store which I manage, I will perhaps think twice in ordering your titles when and (IF!) they do ever see release. You may want to think twice before dealing with your paying customers in such an unprofessional and juvenile manner. Trust me, nobody and I mean nobody within atleast a hundred mile radius carries your product and those who are not familiar with your website or your company has been turned on to your release due to my ordering of them.
Perhaps you should just concentrate on actually getting your sometimes decent product out there.
PR is important for you little guys.

I hate pirates and think they should spend some time in a prison, if only real crimes were punished.
I'm worried that with the advent of blu ray and the region locked encoding of cult movies which will probably not get released in another territory may stimulate these thieves into copying legitimate titles minus the encoding and subsequently the quality. I for one won't be buying anything which is not original.
Long Live Code Red.

A-ha, two points 'Code Red' -
i/ The excuse you kept giving, for ages and ages, was the actual translation NOT the subtitling costs.
ii/ The excuse of costs has only now come about AFTER the Nightmare DVD is released. HOW can you announce a special feature [as you did with the Scavolini interview] BEFORE acquainting yourself with the costs of realizing it? Are you that NAIVE? Or just very disorganized/dishonest? You shouldn't be that CLUELESS after a few years in the business, or maybe you shouldn't be in business..?
Methinks Code Red is making it up to suit himself as per usual, and he wonders why his customers don't give him a warm reception..?! Lies, delays, mis-information, ignoring customers. Oh, how I feel my repeat custom is valued.
We can only hope SCORPION - Code Red's brother! [apparantly] - is more clude-up and professional, as he has got some great titles in the works.
PS - please STOP being so damned childish and sarcastic on your DVD covers - I paid good money for Nightmare only to have to put up with your snide bullshit & sour grapes all over the front AND back of the cover instead of having an inlay I enjoy looking at. Pull that game again - on such an important release - and you've lost me as a customer for starters. You need a smack in the head for ever thinking that kind of inane crap should ever get printed on a DVD inlay.
