'12 Monkeys' TV Series Gets Pilot Order From SyFy
Posted on Monday, August 26th, 2013 by Russ Fischer
Briefly: Terry Gilliam's film 12 Monkeys is going to be remade as a TV series. We've heard that SyFy was getting interested in a show based on the 1995 film, which originally starred Bruce Willis, Brad Pitt, and Madeline Stowe. Now a pilot order has been given based on the spec script by Terry Matalas and Travis Fickett (Terra Nova). There's no cast for the show at this point. The writers will co-exec produce with original film producer Charles Roven (The Dark Knight) and Richard Suckle.
We don't know a lot about the show, but it will follow the same basic plot as the film, with a man sent back in time from a strange post-apocalyptic future. His mission: find the origin point for a plague that eventually kills most of humanity. The pilot is currently set to shoot in November, but at this point everything depends on the cast assembly. We'll report on the choices made by the producers as they're made public. [Deadline; header by ~gsgill37 at DeviantArt]

Cancers of the mouth and throat related to oral sex, as well as thyroid, liver and skin cancers are on the rise among older adults, according to new stats released last week from the American Cancer Society.
There was some good news, however. The death rate is down for the well-known major cancers. The society's Cancer Statistics 2012 report found that overall, cancer deaths dropped by nearly two percent for both men and women from 2004 to 2008.
That may sound paltry, but Len Lichtenfeld, M.D., the society's deputy chief medical officer, says it is more significant than it seems: Many people avoided even hearing the words "you have cancer" because advances in cancer treatment caught problems early, while still in the pre-cancerous stage, he said.
The report found that death rates were down for all four major cancers — lung, colorectal, breast and prostate. The biggest drop was for lung cancer, which is down almost 40 percent in the number of men dying from the disease, thanks to fewer Americans smoking.
Deaths among women from breast cancer declined 34 percent, mainly because of increases in mammogram screening and a decrease in hormone use for menopause, the ACS report said.
On the other hand, some cancers are increasing, particularly among older Americans.
According to Medscape News , the ACS found that people 55 to 64 years of age had the highest increase in incidence rates for liver and HPV-related oral cancers; people 65 and older also had an increase in incidence rates for melanoma, or skin cancer.
For men with HPV-related oral cancer and women with thyroid cancer, rising incidence rates were highest among people 55 to 64 years of age.
The following cancers are expected to total about 245,000 new cases of the more than 1.6 million total cancer cases projected for 2012, according to the ACS.
Among those cancers on the rise, as reported by the Wall Street Journal :
Melanoma: More men over 55 and women of all ages are getting the deadliest form of skin cancer. This may be because of increased use of tanning booths, as well as increased awareness and detection of skin cancer. The good news is that two new drugs were approved last year to treat metastatic melanoma.
Thyroid: Rates increased from 1999 to 2008, possibly thanks to better detection of smaller tumors, with highest rate among older women.
HPV-related cancers of the back of the tongue, throat and tonsil area (oropharynx cancers): These cancers, caused by the sexually transmitted Human Papillomavirus (HPV), are increasing in part because of the increased practice of oral sex. On the good news side: Oral cancers from tobacco and alcohol use, and not from HPV, have been steadily declining.
Esophageal, pancreatic, liver and kidney: These are on the rise and obesity may play a role, according to the cancer society. Obesity is associated with a substantially increased risk for esophageal cancer due to acid reflux disease. As for liver cancers, half of the cases are among people with chronic hepatitis C.

Department of Defense (DOD) components provide health care to over 9.6 million eligible beneficiaries, including U.S. military personnel, retirees, and their family members. With more than 130,000 military and government medical professionals, a large network of private health care providers, 59 DOD hospitals, and hundreds of clinics worldwide, DOD's collective Military Health System (MHS) manages more than 200,000 medical visits and fills more than 300,000 prescriptions per day. Additionally, the MHS is an important source for education, military medical training, and research and development. However, MHS costs have more than doubled from $19 billion in fiscal year 2001 to $49 billion in 2010 and are expected to increase to over $62 billion by 2015. Studies by GAO and others over many years have identified opportunities to gain efficiencies and save costs by consolidating administrative, management, and clinical functions.
The responsibilities and authorities for DOD's military health system are distributed among several organizations within DOD with no central command authority or single entity accountable for minimizing costs and achieving efficiencies. Under the MHS's current command structure, the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs, the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force each has its own headquarters and associated support functions, such as information technology, human capital management, financial activities, and contracting. Additionally, the three services each have Surgeons General to oversee their deployable medical forces and operate their own health care systems. Moreover, while the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs controls the Defense Health Program budget, this office does not directly supervise the services' medical personnel.
In 2005, GAO identified DOD's health care system as an example of a key challenge facing the U.S. government in the 21st century as well as an area in which DOD could achieve economies of scale and improve delivery by combining, realigning, or otherwise changing selected support functions. In 2001, a RAND Corporation study on reorganizing the MHS uncovered at least 13 studies since the 1940s that had addressed military health care organization. All but three of those studies had either favored a unified system or recommended a stronger central authority to improve coordination among the services. However, DOD has taken limited actions to date to consolidate common administrative, management, and clinical functions within its MHS.
In 2005, DOD formed a working group to develop an implementation plan for a joint medical command. This group in 2006 developed and evaluated several reorganization alternatives to promote effectiveness and efficiency in its medical command structure by increased sharing of resources, use of common operating processes, and reduction in duplicative functions and organizations. One alternative would have established a unified medical command similar to DOD's unified transportation command; the second alternative would have established two separate commandsone to provide operational/deployable medicine and another to provide beneficiary care through military hospitals and contracted providers; and a third alternative would have designated one of the military services to provide all health care services across DOD.
Because of an inability to obtain a consensus among the services on which alternative to implement, the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness and the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs presented a new concept which, in November 2006, the Deputy Secretary of Defense approved. This chosen concept directed seven smaller scale, incremental reorganization efforts designed to minimize duplicative layers of command and control where possible; reduce redundant efforts, personnel, and expenses; and leverage efficiencies through combining common service support functions being performed within each of the services, such as finance, information management and technology, human capital management, support, and logistics. However, the concept left the existing command structures of the three services' medical departments over all military treatment facilities essentially unchanged. In updating its previous reviews, GAO found that DOD officials have made varying levels of progress in implementing four of the seven incremental steps.
More specifically, DOD is taking actions to (1) create a command, control, and management structure in DOD's base realignment and closure (BRAC) markets (National Capital Area and San Antonio); (2) realign command and control of the Joint Medical Education Training Center in San Antonio; (3) colocate the Military Health System and service medical headquarters; and (4) consolidate all medical research and development under the Army Medical Research and Material Command. Progress on these actions has been facilitated by the fact that three of them are related to BRAC recommendations made in 2005 that DOD must complete by the BRAC statutory deadline of September 2011. According to officials, DOD has not implemented actions to (1) establish a Joint Military Health Service Directorate under Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs; (2) consolidate command and control in other locations with more than one DOD component providing military health care services; and (3) realign current TRICARE Management Activity to focus on health plan management. The Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs has not provided guidance on how and when to accomplish the three remaining steps, and officials indicated that further action is not likely to occur until the results of a broader, ongoing DOD-wide organizational and efficiency assessment is completed.
For the three BRAC-related steps under way, DOD's BRAC budget reporting[1] indicates a net annual savings of $275 million after full implementation. However, DOD medical officials have expressed uncertainty as to whether these savings will be achieved because of changes that occurred within the MHS since the BRAC decision was made. For example, they point out that the care of casualties from operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and the congressional direction to provide "world class health care" in the National Capital Region have all significantly increased MHS costs.
Finally, GAO reported in July 2010 that DOD would benefit from enhanced collaboration among the services in their medical personnel requirements determination processes and recommended that DOD identify, develop, and implement cross-service medical personnel standards for common capabilities. The report made recommendations to each of the services to improve their medical personnel requirements determination processes. That report also recognized that while each of the services has unique operational medical capabilities, the day-to-day operations at military treatment facilities are very similar across the services and could be more collaboratively managed, and that DOD should identify the common medical capabilities that are shared across the services in their military treatment facilities that would benefit from the development of cross-service medical personnel standards. DOD replied that developing cross-service standards in specific medical functional areas where there is measurable benefit makes good sense, and the services generally agreed with the need for improvements to their respective requirements determination processes.
[1] DOD is required by section 2907 of the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990, Pub. L. No. 101-510 (as amended by section 2831(b) of Pub. L. No. 109-163 (2006) and section 2711 of Pub. L. No. 110-417 (2008)) to, among other reporting requirements, estimate the total expenditures required and cost savings to be achieved by each closure and realignment. To calculate DOD's expected BRAC annual savings, GAO used dollar amounts obtained from DOD's budget submission for fiscal year 2011.
To reduce duplication in its command structure and eliminate redundant processes that add to growing defense health care costs, DOD could take action to further assess alternatives for restructuring the governance structure of the military health care system. In 2007, GAO recommended that DOD needed to demonstrate a sound business case for proceeding with its chosen concept, including an analysis of benefits, costs, and risks of implementing that choice. Although not explicitly stated, such an analysis, to be complete, would require analyzing other alternatives such as a unified medical command. These analyses have not been conducted, and GAO's ongoing review will seek to determine the extent to which DOD has developed an approach for implementing the remaining actions in its chosen concept. Without such actions, DOD is not in a sound position to assure the Secretary of Defense and Congress that it made an informed decision in implementing its chosen concept over other alternatives or whether it will have the desired impact on DOD's MHS or achieve anticipated results.
In 2006, if DOD and the services had chosen to implement one of the three other alternatives studied by the DOD working group, a May 2006 report by the Center for Naval Analyses showed DOD could have achieved significant savings. GAO's adjustment of those projected savings from 2005 into 2010 dollars indicates those savings could range from $281 million to $460 million annually depending on the alternative chosen and numbers of military, civilian, and contractor positions eliminated. The report largely focused on personnel as the primary source of potential savings or costs.[1] However, the report indicated that these savings would require a long and potentially costly transition period to be realized. Additionally, the report stated that DOD's ability to realize the potential savings depended crucially on clear command and control to make the necessary changes.
In his selection of the chosen option in 2006, the Deputy Secretary of Defense acknowledged that implementing the chosen concept may not achieve the estimated level of savings of implementing a unified medical structure but believed minimum annual savings of about $200 million ($221 million in 2010 dollars) was a realistic goal. Additionally, significant cost avoidance from improved performance once changes had beenimplemented was anticipated. For example, in September 2010, DOD officials told GAO that they had identified about $30 million in annual savings from the reduction in contract medical staff among the newly established joint hospitals in the National Capital Regionone of the seven incremental steps of the chosen concept. Additionally, officials believe the colocation of the medical headquarters will provide improved collaboration and opportunities for consolidating their operations where possible.
[1]The Center for Naval Analyses categorized the potential savings into the following 10 areas: health care operations; comptroller operations; information management and information technologies; education and training; research and development; logistics; strategic planning; human capital management; force health protection and environmental health; and general headquarters.
The information contained in this analysis is based on the GAO reports listed under the "Related GAO Products" tab as well as work updating the extent to which DOD has (1) conducted a cost benefit analysis of its chosen concept and (2) implemented its 2006 chosen concept. To do this, GAO obtained, reviewed, and discussed with DOD officials any analyses performed related to the chosen concept or other alternatives subsequently considered. Additionally, GAO reviewed DOD documents, policies, directives, briefings, and concept papers related to DOD's 2006 chosen concept, as well as GAO's prior findings and recommendations associated with this effort. In meetings with officials from OSD, the services' medical departments, and other relevant offices, GAO obtained, analyzed, and discussed documents related to the status, costs, and results of the seven steps in the chosen concept. In obtaining oral comments, DOD officials said that they generally agreed with the facts and findings in this analysis.

The Vampire Diaries Review: A Mother's NatureMatt Richenthal at .
Well, The Vampire Diaries proved me wrong tonight: there is something sexier than this week's cover of Entertainment Weekly.
My. Goodness. Gracious. I know it upset both Delena fans and Stelena fans, but let's just give hot props where hot props are due: "Dangerous Liaisons" concluded with the most erotic scene in show history.
But was it a worthwhile scene? Does it really move the story along or does it merely exist to act as an obstacle between Elena and Damon?
It certainly made sense for both characters. Two recently-scorned, vulnerable individuals fall into bed together? Following a slew of shots? Not exactly ground-breaking material there. Many of us have likely made similar decisions and regretted them in the morning.
And, yes, it also fits both characters. Damon is as self-destructive as they come, and - whether she knew the extent of what she was saying or not - Elena did just throw his love back in his face. As for Rebekah? Well, what single gal wouldn't sleep with Damon Salvatore? Moreover, what single gal with a vendetta against Elena would not sleep with Damon Salvatore? Again, perfectly sensible on her part in that regard.
But I can't help but think it feels contrived, coming across as a way for the writers to drag out the love triangle for as long as possible... which actually aligns with the rest of what - dare I say it?!? - was a bad episode of The Vampire Diaries.
It's one thing for very little to happen throughout an hour; I'm all for the occasional slow cooker, the focus on characters here and there over non-stop action. But the romantic teases thrown our way here didn't feel natural. Come on, Caroline would NEVER come close to considering anything with Klaus. Sure, it's interesting that he paints and likes horses and isn't always a violent maniac.
But all the daddy issues in the world can't change what he did to Tyler, who is clearly Caroline's true love. I don't buy any hints otherwise. I just see them as a way to get the Twitterverse buzzing about Klaroline versus Forwood and to get the shippers freaking out when, in reality, we all know Caroline will be with Tyler when he returns.
Then again... what is he doing if he's not following her dad's advice? Where is he? Whatever happens moving Forwood (get it?!?), it likely will NOT be as simple as Tyler simply coming back a cured hybrid and falling into Caroline's bed. Still, relax everyone. No way is she getting with Klaus.
So the romance, or hints at romance, didn't do it for me this week. The waltz? The set-up of both Salvatore brothers serving as Elena's date? Too forced, too dragged out.
Mother Original, however? She was easily the best part of the hour. Do we buy that she really wants to kill her children in order to make up for betraying the natural order of things? I think so. It's hard to believe she'd be lying to Finn, her right-hand son, about offing him and his siblings. That would be downright cruel. But will she actually go through with it? That's another matter.
It's probably easy to concoct a plan when you're chilling on The Other Side for 1,000 years (think she hung out with Anna and Vicki there?). But then to see your flesh and blood in person? Even if those persons are vampires? Esther seemed to be having second thoughts after her chat with the moral Elijah. Either way, we now have another direction in the Original storyline, one that forces multiple characters and agenda to intersect and one whose outcome I can't come close to predicting.
And that's when The Vampire Diaries is at its best.
Quick bites:
- Kol is totally the male version of Rebekah. I'm itching to kill something. What are we waiting for? Give him time and his humanity may come out, but for now, he's just loving life as a vampire. Or trying to at least.
- Might Alaric, somehow, be the Mystic Falls Butcher? It doesn't seem to make sense, considering he was actually stabbed, but the show likely wants us to consider that possibility based on the point of view - from a patient's room - it took early on inside the hospital.
- Then again, a doctor could easily be inside a patient's room, as well. The kind of doctor who, in one Fell swoop, could stake an ex-boyfriend in the woods.
- Poor Matt. As quarterback of the football team, isn't there some hot cheerleader he can get with? Someone who doesn't come with any supernatural baggage?
What did everyone else think? Have you stopped panting from the Damon and Rebekah sex scene yet? Did this slower episode do it for you? Or, like me, did developments feel both boring and a bit contrived?

Story highlights
- The boy has been released from the hospital and is with his mother
- His son is found with a large red pentagram carved on his back
- The father says on the call he acted because it was a "holy day"
- Wednesday's unusual date of 12/12/12 was seen by many as a noteworthy date
While many people saw Wednesday's memorable date of 12/12/12 as an auspicious moment to tie the knot or start a business, a Texas man appears to have interpreted the day as a reason to carry out a grotesque and sinister act.
"I shed some innocent blood," Brent Troy Bartel told a police dispatcher from the Fort Worth suburb of Richland Hills in a phone call just after midnight.
When the dispatcher asked him to clarify, Bartel responded in a matter-of-fact tone, "I inscribed a pentagram on my son."
"OK, why did you do that?" the 911 operator wanted to know.
Bartel responded, "'Cause it's a holy day."
At the same time, police say, the boy's mother was also calling police from a neighbor's house.
She had run there, they say, to raise the alarm that Bartel was hurting their 6-year-old son.
When police officers arrived at the home, they say they found the traumatized boy standing shirtless with a large red pentagram carved into the skin on his back. His blood was smeared on the front door of the house.
A pentagram is a five-pointed star that has associations with many different religions and belief systems.
The police officers wrapped a jacket around the child, who they say was "cold and shivering," and called paramedics, who took him to a children's hospital for treatment.
They arrested Bartel, whose manner was flat and emotionless, according to Sgt. Nathan Stringer.
He has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon on a family member.
"This is a very bizarre case," Stringer said.
What exactly may have motivated Bartel, who is being held in a local jail on a $500,000 bond, remains unclear. Police didn't disclose any comments from him beyond what he said on the 911 call.
Attempts by CNN to reach Bartel or his representatives for comment have not been successful.
The pentagram has had links with many of the world's religions and cults through the ages, including Christianity, Judaism and Paganism. It has also been used in certain forms by magicians and Satanists.
Wednesday's triple-12 date was considered noteworthy by numerologists because its digits add up to three, which has associations with the planet Jupiter, the largest in the solar system. The number 12 has astrological significance, since there are 12 signs of the zodiac.
It was the last such triple date for almost a century -- until January 1, 2101.
The boy's wounds were not very deep, Stringer said, and his condition was stable. He was later released from the hospital and is now with his mother.
Police say they believe a box cutter recovered from the scene was used by Bartel to cut his son, but they are waiting for the results of laboratory tests.

Seems the NSA can, without a warrant, snoop on anyone within three degrees of someone that they may have some suspicion about.
…the rather startling news that came out of yesterday's House Judiciary Committee on the NSA spying programs: NSA Director John Inglis revealed that the FISA Court permits the government to do three jumps from an initial number tied to a phone number reasonably believed to be tied to terrorism (or relevant to Iran, though that search criteria didn't get mentioned at all in the parts of the hearing I watched).
Three degrees of separation!
Remember, some years ago, every single person in the US could be connected via six degrees — the old Kevin Bacon game. There's some evidence that that number has become smaller — perhaps as small as 3 (I've seen more scientific numbers that say it is 4.5 or thereabouts).
In any case, if the US is using the excuse of terror to get three jumps deep into US person associations, then this program is even more intrusive then they've let on.
I imagine that would include everyone in our government, the Israeli government, the Palestinian authority, every head of state, every law enforcement officer, everyone who has ever been abroad, everyone who has ever interviewed a foreign person, everyone who knows anyone who knows anyone in:
the Quakers,
any demonstration of any kind,
anyone who has written a letter to an editor,
any person of color,
anyone who signed a petition, and
so on.
It's basically EVERYONE. and what will they do with it? Wait til Karl Rove or one of the Cheneys gets back in power and you'll see in short order. Or just some NSA guy who's curious about who his ex girlfriend in dating. Or some NSA girl with a grudge against oh, well, ANYONE!
We have a constitution; that used to mean something.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
When basically the entire population is legally suspect, doesn't that mean we're doing something wrong?

The results table presents information on an active substance, such as approval start and end date, evaluating competent authority and approval or assessment status. The substance name is a link to the substance information page (Infocard) which summarises information on a substance from all regulatory contexts managed by ECHA.
More information on a specific active substance authorisation can be found in the factsheet. The factsheet holds details on the latest approval data, including relevant documents, related authorised biocidal products, and an overview of all the changes on the active substance approval. The active substance factsheet is accessible through the eye icon in the results table.
In the results table, the number of related authorised biocidal products can also be visible. The number represents the count of product clusters (groups of authorisations) containing the given active substance.
The Summary tab lists all product-type applications that have been submitted for a given active substance, approval has been granted or refused. The approval status of an active substance and product-type combination is described with an icon. Hovering your mouse over the icon, you can see the status of an application for approval, the assessment step if the approval process is ongoing, and you can access the active substance factsheet.
Export results
You can export the active substance results to the ECHA website standard formats (XLS, CSV and XML).
Due to a technical problem, which is being fixed, certain substance/product-type combinations are currently displayed as "Cancelled application" or "Withdrawn application".
See the correct status for those substance-product-type combinations [XLSX]

UNESCO/Swiss Funds in-Trust Emergency consolidation of the monuments in Jam
Following the inscription of the Minaret and archaeological remains of Jam in the 'World Heritage List' and the 'List of the World Heritage in Danger' in 2002, the Government of Switzerland has decided to generously fund to the conservation of the Minaret and its archaeological site in the area of Jam, which had been seriously deteriorated because of its state of neglect and the civil war of the country.
In line with the aim of emergency assistance for restoration for the site of Jam, UNESCO has implemented various safeguarding activities. By collaborating with the Afghan Ministry of Information and Culture information since the inception of the project, the following activities have been carried out.
- Assessed the state of conservation and documentation of the Minaret of Jam (2002);
- Constructed a new road and a bridge to facilitate access to the site of Jam by the Afghan Ministry of Information and Culture (2004);
- Masonry work at the base of the Minaret (2005);
- Set up a protective fence around the site of Jam in order to prevent looting and vandalism (2006);
- Provided the training session for the Afghan experts in conservation techniques by international experts (2007).
Thanks to the prompt intervention funded by the Government of Switzerland on conservation of the Minaret and the site of Jam, the deterioration of this site has been now considerably stabilized.
In 2010, the World Heritage Centre resumed the on-site activities that are the first field work to the site undertaken by UNESCO since 2006. Through the three-week field mission from April to May in 2010 with the Afghan local NGO, Afghan Land Consulting Organization (ALCO), and the Afghan Ministry of Culture and Information, the World Heritage Centre has productively completed the establishment of a detailed topography of the archaeological remains of Jam. This topography will allow the Afghan government to conduct the better protection for the Minaret and the archaeological remains of Jam in the World Heritage Site.
Add to the above-mentioned topography, the monitoring of inclination of the Minaret of Jam including the training of the Afghan experts was also successfully carried out. On the basis of the recent field survey, the full documentation (including 3D documents) of the Minaret of Jam as well as the assessment for the conservation work to be carried out will be completed.
Also, World Heritage Centre is planning to prepare in 2010 a long-term conservation proposal after having made a thorough assessment on conservation for the Minaret of Jam and its site. For this, some of the activities including the training of the Afghan experts have jointly planned with the Project of the Italian UNESCO/FIT for "the Consolidation of the Site of Jam and Monuments in Herat".

I have an apology to make. In the past, I've made fun of anti-video-game lawyer Jack Thompson for his views on gamers, his rudimentary grasp of logic and the distinct scent of brimstone that surrounds him. I see now that I was wrong. So very wrong. Video games truly are nothing more than attractively packaged training devices for youthful violence, mayhem and nose-thumbing. What pulled me out of the sub-basement of denial and into the glorious, shining foyer of light? Well, I finally managed to buy a Nintendo Wii (or, as I prefer to call it, the Murder Appliance).
Sorry, I know that's not very catchy. It's hard to come up with a properly macabre pun on "Wii." "The Grim Wii-per" maybe? No, let's stick with Murder Appliance.
It takes only a few minutes with this gruesome plastic box of death to realize exactly how insidious it is. Every aspect of it is designed with one thing in mind: transforming innocent, wide-eyed, polite young people into slavering psychopaths.
Let's start with the much-ballyhooed controller. (Studies indicate that the Wiimote is the most ballyhooed video-game controller of all time by 3.5 kilohypes.) Is there any remaining doubt that it was designed expressly as a weapon? Nintendo needed to reinforce its control strap just to keep it from getting loose, werewolflike, and busting up all your home furnishings. To date, the remote has destroyed more than 400 television sets, 78 stereo systems, three bay windows and a monastery that was home to some exceptionally rowdy monks.
At 40 bucks each, the only thing keeping Wiimotes from replacing Glocks as the gang-banging weapon of choice is the fact that you can't actually find them for sale anywhere. Mark my words, someday soon you'll be walking down a dark alley, or at least navigating a poorly lit cul-de-sac, when a thug will emerge from the shadows and tell you that unless you hand over your wallet, you're going to have a D-pad-shaped dent in your skull.
And the controller attachment? It's called a nunchuk, the weapon of choice for antisocial youth with a collection of Bruce Lee movies and an inflated sense of their own dexterity. Enough said.
Now let's move on to the "games." What sadist came up with the "sports" included in the game? Each one is clearly designed to train people for the task of reducing other human beings to pink pulp. For instance, take this so-called "bowling." What practical application could there be for throwing massive, dense balls at people? Yes, in the game they're called "pins" but I think we can all see that they're supposed to represent toddlers. And this "baseball" game – it's nothing more than a ritualized gang war, with rival gangs attempting to kill each other with stones and truncheons. And there's also "boxing," which appears to involve people hitting each other, I'm not sure. I broke my TV with the remote before I got that far.
The point is that we never had violent games like this before video games came on the scene. People played nice games like "pass the parcel," "postman's knock" and "soggy biscuit." It takes the shriveled, degenerate mind of a game developer to come up with "entertainment" like this.
The worst of it is this, though: The Wii actually encourages gamers to get exercise. Up until now, murderous gamer rampages have been kept to a minimum by the fact that a good rampage requires you to get up and be mobile for a while, something most gamers are loath to do. By combining games with movement, you're breeding a generation of gamers who have no problem with standing up, waving their arms, and increasing their pulse rates. There's nothing to stop them now! In the near future we'll all be reduced to cowering in our homes, fearful that a murderous gamer gang will arrive to collect "power-ups," by which they mean our severed heads. Thanks, Nintendo. Thanks a lot.

Amazon Kindle and other E Book Editions
TTA are now established on Amazon Kindle with the January and March 2012 editions of Interzone (#236, 238 & 239) and February's Black Static (#27). You'll also find Black Static 26, the Dec 2011-Jan 2012 issue. I'll probably upload a couple more back issues to Amazon while waiting for Andy to send me the IZ 240 and Black Static 28 files. So readers can now obtain ebook editions of TTA Press magazines from 3 sources; Amazon, Fictionwise & Smashwords.
There are back issues aplenty on Fictionwise, where they go back to IZ 211 (Jul 2007), and Smashwords where IZ 230 (Sept 2010) is the earliest. Both sites do provide versions suitable for Kindle. All our ebooks are free of digital rights problems to allow transfer to many different reader devices. Let's hope no one abuses that. Some of the sites charge VAT others don't, so prices do vary.
Smashwords has a free copy of Interzone 230 and an 'optional price' copy of Black Static 19 - meaning it's free if you want - so anyone can try them. We can't set Amazon prices to zero, $0.99 is the minimum. Smashwords supply copies to other Ebook sources like iTunes, Barnes & Noble and Kobo. This can take up to 3 weeks from its 'going live' and an ebook that is free on Smashwords may not be on those retailer sites.
We can list up to 10 contributors to each magazine on Amazon so the authors and editors plus illustrators will fill all slots. It seems a pity to leave people out so I'll try to spread the credits when names appear frequently, Andy excepted - as you can search Amazon on his name to find issues.
You can 'look inside' most of the Amazon editions but not Black Static 27. I've no idea why. If anyone does look inside the order of contents is close to that of the print edition. With Interzone that means you can see Ansible and the beginning of the first story. With Black Static you can see Coffinmaker's Blues and Interference but no fiction. I could change the order of contents in either case to show, say, fiction in Black Static or reviews from Interzone. I'd be interested to hear your views on that.
With each E edition I have to post a 'blurb', a few sentences (Smashwords' limit is 400 characters) to sell the magazine to hesitant purchasers. I'd welcome ideas for blurbs and, as I'm unlikely to upload a magazine until at least 2 weeks after the print editions arrive, some of you have the chance to contribute a blurb should you feel creative. Let me know if you fancy trying your hand at blurbing.

Why Madison Presidential Listening Tour: New York City
"Why Madison?"
President's Journal
New York City
March 28, 2013
JMU in the Big Apple
Today we traveled to downtown New York City, the heart of the Big Apple, for our 16th "Why Madison?" listening tour event. You could feel the excitement and energy coming together from all of the alumni and Madison supporters. We had a great crowd of people in both business and the arts, as well as other disciplines, and it was exciting to witness the strong presence JMU has here in the nation's largest city.
Alumni salute the value of teamwork
One of the major themes that alumni brought up this evening was the real-world importance of working in teams and how they were able to hone those skills at JMU. For example, we had a lot of alums from the College of Business at our event tonight. At JMU they took CoB 300, which is a College of Business course taught by teams of faculty. The class requires groups of students to collaborate and put together business plans. While students say that the course is very rigorous, they appreciated having to stretch themselves because the experience so appropriately applies to the group work they encounter in today's work force. In any professional setting, you have to listen to other people's perspectives and learn from others to get things done. So while CoB300 requires more resources and a lot of intentionality, that kind of group work experience is something that is a real hallmark not just of the business world, but other disciplines as well. In addition, many of our alumni who were in the audience tonight are in the performing arts field. They described that working in teams is essential to success in their careers as well. Whether it is in an orchestra, a chorus or a theatrical production, they emphasized that the group work they completed at JMU has taken them everywhere from Broadway to Carnegie Hall.
Having alumni connections in New York City is invaluable
We also spent a significant amount of time discussing the role that alumni can play in being mentors or role models to current students and recent graduates. These important intergenerational connections have become a consistent theme throughout our listening tour. Here in New York this rings especially true because it is a challenging place to break into. We are all familiar with the songs and stories about what it is like to come into New York City, particularly if you or your family are not from there. To have connections in a city like New York—and to know that there is an alumni network available to you—is so important and valuable.
Building on existing networks takes intentionality and alumni engagement
We do have those networks in a lot of areas. In fact, we know of alumni in the finance sector who have helped each other. We have seen different generations break into that field and become successful, in part because of alumni connections. But we can certainly do more of this and encourage it across the other sectors that are represented by JMU alums in New York City. It requires us to be organized and to think very intentionally, but it inspires alumni to stay engaged with our current students, recent graduates, and the university itself.
Together, there is nothing that we can't accomplish
As an institution, we know that we have to emphasize this type of outreach and to continue saying, "This is a way that you can help us; this is a way you can remain engaged in the JMU community." It was encouraging to hear some real examples of these types of relationships forming and resulting in alumni success. We know we can do it, especially because we already have successful models to follow. But we can be more intentional and more systematic about it to encourage more of this networking within the JMU community. Our alumni, our students and the university will benefit. If we work together, there is nothing that we can't accomplish!

i written this howto for alsa:
please give me feedback so i can improve it.
The reason is that i got tired of explaining alsa over and over again on irc
now i just can give them an link
Freedom is what i love
Just what I need... you'll save me a lot of time. Now I don't have to figure out how to do it myself, nor do I have to document my experience.
I'll let you know when I install alsa whether or not I have any additions or changes to suggest. That was supposed to be this week...
Add users to the group:
- edit the /etc/group and add at the end of the line of "sound:x:" the name of the user you wish to give access to the soundcard.
Afaik it is recommended not to edit the file.
Instead, you will use
gpasswd -a (username) (groupname)
to add users to a group.
Nice howto. I will try it if I set up my arch on xfs, what is a bit of work.

I have a little problem:
I have a VideoLogic Sonicfury soundcard and there exists an Alsa documentation for my soundcard.
No, I followed the Alsa Howto in this thread and installed with pacman -S all packages (alsa-driver, alsa-lib, alsa-oss and alsa-utils).
The next step would be to load the modules with "modprobe <module name>".
I tried to load severals modules, e.g.
modprobe snd-sc46xxx and
modprobe snd-pcm-oss
but both commands resulted in a
modprobe: Can't locate module <e.g. snd-sc46xx>
Could someone tell me which modules to load?
@ Blaasvis: I would have asked you via E-Mail, but there is no e-mail adress in your howto.

depmod -a. I guess that is a missing step in the howto. After installing alsa-driver you have to depmod -a.

(Deutschsprachiges Howto für Anfänger)
Well, I have followed your howto and dmeg still tells me Alsa devices found: no soundcards found.
I am using kernel 2.6.2 and I followed all the steps but no luck.
When I try to invoke amixer> amixer: Mixer attach default error: no such device
aplay: main:502: audio open error: No such device
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I know I must be doing or not doing some little thing
and probably that's why I can't get alsa to work.
eh what soundcard ? and what modules ?
Freedom is what i love
Sorry for not being more specific. I have a SB Live which uses the emu10k1 module. I also load snd_pcm_oss. I tried to load the snd_seq_oss modules but there is a conflict when I try to do this. Are the snd_seq_oss modules needed for alsa to work. Why isn't the card being recognized at boot time?
I'm not in Linux atm (my apologies :-)) When I am I will recheck everything I've done and do it again. If anything new comes up, I'll post the info.
Thanks a lot for your reply. I tried to get the sound working without using Alsa and wasn't able to do that either. Obviously, I'm not doing something correctly.
I followed your tutor with one exception :
After reboot alsa loses it`s settings so after the amixer commands I did an alsactl store & added a /usr/sbin/alsactl restore in rc.local .And worked fine.
Thanks, i have had the same problem, and doing it, it is solvent and work perfectly
Thanks Blaasvis too. I was getting crazy trying alsa to work. And i think you must add the comment of SCOvsfreedom in your how-to.
PD: sorry about my poor english, i'm spanish
Ok. here is the output of lsmod: snd_pcm_oss, snd_pcm snc_page_alloc snd_mixer_oss
ac97_codec(emu10k1) sound(emu10k1
Alsa will not recogozie my SBLive card, therefore I can't access alsactl ,etc. I have placed alsamixer in the daemons array, but it also throws an error and will not load. At this point, I haven't a clue. Help!!! :-)
Y luisfeser: No tengas que preocuparte por tu ingles. Te entendi perfectamente bien. Viva Espana! :-)
Arriba Linux!
Miguel de Yanquilandia!! :-)
Well, I know that my sound module is loaded. Lsmod tells me so, but when I do dmesg | grep sound it says that no soundcards found. Could this be a glitch in the 2.6.2 kernel?(probably not, but I had to ask)
Mike :-(
hello keeper,
This is my lsmod about sound:
snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_emu10k1,snd_rawmi di,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_seq_device,snd_ac97_codec,snd_util_mem,snd_hwdep
I have a SB live like you. When i compile my kernel (6.2.3) i include alsa as a module and i don't include oss (but yes the alsa oss emulation)
Are you sure you modprobe de correct module?
- emu10k1 is the oss module
- snd_emu10k1 is the alsa module
good luck
thanks a lot man!
Have you tried
Mr Green
I got follwing problem:
I compiled my Kernel 2.4.25 myself, because my DSL-Modemdrivers need special Kernel settings. After installing alsa-pakages with pacman i make a "depmod -a" but there seem to be several Problems with alsa:

I use a Terratec DMX XFire1024 which uses snd-cs46xx as ALSA driver, but of course a "modprobe snd-cs46xx" fails :

What is wrong? Should i disable Kernel sound support completely?
EDIT: OH! Sorry :oops: ! Just saw in the forum, that alsa-driver-pakages are compiled for ArchLinux-standard-kernel. I didn't know about abs, but now i'm compileing a pkg of alsa-driver for my costum-Kernel 2.4.25 at the moment !

OK "depmod -a" now keeps silent ! No errors, but now i have a new problem :
[root@myhost alsa-driver]# modprobe snd-cs46xx
/lib/modules/2.4.25/kernel/sound/pci/cs46xx/snd-cs46xx.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg

/lib/modules/2.4.25/kernel/sound/pci/cs46xx/snd-cs46xx.o: insmod snd-cs46xx failed

Have you looked ?
Have you got all the alsa libs installed.....
Mr Green
I recompiled and installed alsa-driver, alsa-lib, alsa-utils and alsa-oss so they should match with my Kernel 2.4.25.
/lib/modules/2.4.25/kernel/sound/pci/cs46xx/snd-cs46xx.o exists too.
Perhaps this is interesting too:
dmesg says: "Sound Fusion CS46xx soundcard not found or device busy".
I activated Soundcard support when i compiled the Kernel, but didn't choose any driver. Perhaps it's a configuration error of the Kernel :?:

Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and decide whether or not to stay in Cleveland, or go somewhere else. Anywhere else. LET'S GO!
TOP CHEF DC – 9:00PM (Bravo – an NBC/Universal network) Okay, so Angelo and Kenny got their comeuppance last week during the whole school lunch challenge. But this is Top Chef. No one really cares if you can make a low budget meal for kids using horrible tasting, low fat foods. I doubt the top two contenders are fazed all that much by their little veggie-free snafu. No other chef has stood out thus far this season, not even that bossy gal who won the challenge last week by being EXTREMELY possessive about her pork tacos. Settle down, dear. No one cares if the oat tortilla was your idea. Just make the food and be done with it. Trying to verbally persuade people on this show is pointless. You get judged by what's on the plate. YOUR LAMENTATIONS MEAN NOTHING.
Anyway, I'm desperately hoping some of the other chefs begin to stand out this season, because right now this cast is proving fairly bland. The fact that this is a two-horse race so early doesn't help. There needs to be a bigger group of contenders at the top, because these opening episodes are always just a long wait to get rid of the chaff. Maybe oatmeal tortilla lady will triumph again. ANTICIPATION: TASTES LIKE BURNING!
WORK OF ART – 10:00PM (Bravo – an NBC/Universal network) This show is getting to be downright fascinating. Your favorite is Miles, who is a complete lunatic who makes concrete sphincters and reads entire books when he should be working. He also appears to have no mental filter of any kind. He's awesome. And we still have evil Nao walking around, being judgmental of other people's work when her own work is wretched. They got rid of crazy old Judith last week. This week, that one girl who always paints herself naked will probably get the heave ho, because the only thing she's good at is being naked and relatively attractive among a group of fairly unattractive people. I'm also fascinated by the fat dude who's really good at photography and computer design, but is really more of a designer than an actual artist. Anyway, unlike this season of "Top Chef," it appears that virtually anything can happen on this show, and that's what makes it so thrilling. Also, the judges are BRUTAL. Love it. ANTICIPATION: CRAZY ART HOBOS!
TODDLERS AND TIARAS – 10:00PM (TLC) Tonight, the kids participate in Brooklyn's Darling Divas pageant. And if you thought showbiz parents were insufferable before, imagine showbiz parents from BROOKLYN, with their Bugaboos and low-carbon footprint lifestyles and love of Animal Collective. Terrifying. ANTICIPATION: PARK SLOPE!
BILLY THE EXTERMINATOR – 10:00PM (A&E) Billy tackles a home infested with a… nine-foot alligator? Really? I did not realize alligator control was within an exterminator's jurisdiction. I thought they tackled mice and insects. A nine-foot alligator? I'm tempted to buy a rhino and toss in my house, then call the Orkin man to see if he blinks. ANTICIPATION: GATOR!
DINNER: IMPOSSIBLE – 10:00PM (Food Network) Chef Michael Irvine needs to create a gourmet meal that will fetch $15,000 for a charity auction. That steak better be made of solid gold and Streisand tickets. ANTICIPATION: CAVIAR AND STUFF!
Wednesday Watch List: "Work Of Art" Might Be TV's Best New Show

The UVC driver queries the hardware directly to obtain its capabilities and then drives the device, with no proprietary driver required.
You can optionally extend UVC driver functionality to add vendor-specific processing.

H.264 is an open standard that allows efficient video compression techniques for reducing the use of network bandwith and storage space. This leads to a higher video quality for a given bit rate. For more information, see USB H.264 Video Cameras Support. Also refer to theMicrosoft Proposed Extensions to the USB Video Class for H.264.

Before I begin this article, let me make a few things clear: I agree that the death of Rutgers student Tyler Clementi is tragic. His privacy should have been respected, and the world lost someone who could have contributed something spectacular.
That being said, if Dharun Ravi is charged with anything other than a privacy crime, and if Molly Wei is charged with anything period, the justice system has over-reacted.
Yes, Ravi screwed up big time. He set up a webcam and filmed his roommate having sex with another guy and posted it on the Internet. It was a stupid idea to share someone's intimate moments in the bedroom with the world. It's inappropriate no matter who is in the bedroom, and no matter what they are doing.
Dharun Ravi violated his roommate's privacy. But he did not commit murder.
This situation is barely an issue of bullying, as much of the media would have you believe. Other than a few Facebook status updates, there is no conclusive proof of bullying. It was a prank, meant to embarass a roommate. It just worked too well.
Legally, collecting and transmitting sexual material without consent is a third-degree crime with a maximum prison sentence of five years. That's all Ravi deserves. In everything I've been reading about this case, there was no call for Clementi to kill himself.
In the case of Molly Wei, her only involvement was being mentioned by Ravi in a Facebook status. I believe in "guilt by association," but that is absolutely ridiculous.
Too many people want this to be a national thing. Too many people want Clementi to be an example of "cyberbullying" and hate crimes. But the only crime that occurred was someone took a tape of two men sharing an intimate moment and putting it on the Internet.
In fact, it upsets me a little bit when people compare Clementi's situation to that of Matthew Shepherd, a young man from Laramie, Wyoming, who, in 1998, was taken by two men, beaten, robbed, and left for dead on the side of the road.
Shepherd's situation is tragic and blatant. Clementi's situation is exploitative and tragic, but ultimately boiled down to a personal decision.
I'm blaming Tyler Clementi's suicide on Tyler Clementi, because he chose to jump off that bridge. The circumstances leading up to that decision is the fault of Dharum Ravi, because he illegally filmed Clementi and his partner and posted it on the Internet. Molly Wei was just unfortunately wrapped up into the whole situation purely by being mentioned by Ravi.
The whole situation is a privacy issue. Not a gay rights issue, not a cyberbullying issue, not a hate crime issue. Someone's privacy was violated, and they made the unfortunate decision to kill themselves rather than better themselves.
I usually have a lot of sympathy for those involved in tragedy, and this is no doubt a tragedy. However, the major players in this tragedy are only 18. They're still stupid kids. They had been in school for a month. Real world consequences for their stupid actions are falling down around them, and it's up to them to grow up and deal with it.
Ravi's punishment will be five years in prison for his privacy crime, and the ever-lasting guilt of knowing his actions lead to someone's suicide. Nothing more, nothing less. Anyone who tries to make it something more is guilty of their own form of journalistic bullying.

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN River Falls
Grief occurs in response to the loss of someone or something. The loss may involve a loved one, a job, or possibly a role (student entering the workplace or employee entering retirement). Anyone can experience grief and loss. It can be sudden or expected; however, individuals are unique in how they experience this event. Grief, itself, is a normal and natural response to loss. There are a variety of ways that individuals respond to loss. Some are healthy coping mechanisms and some may hinder the grieving process. It is important to realize that acknowledging the grief promotes the healing process. Time and support facilitate the grieving process, allowing an opportunity to appropriately mourn this loss.
Individuals experiencing grief from a loss may choose a variety of ways of expressing it. No two people will respond to the same loss in the same way. It is important to note that phases of grief exist; however, they do not depict a specific way to respond to loss. Rather, stages of grief reflect a variety of reactions that may surface as an individual makes sense of how this loss affects them. Experiencing and accepting all feelings remains an important part of the healing process.
Denial, numbness, and shock
Seldom does a person go into one side of grief and come out the other side the same as before the loss. Think of going through your grief, rather than getting over the loss. By seeing the process through, you can develop personal strengths to cope with other types of loss and difficulties that may come up later in life. Acceptance of the loss means gaining a perspective - a new sense of self and what you can do with you life. You may find the following helpful:
Grieving, as natural and healthy as it is, can also be a painful and frightening thing to go through. If you'd like to talk to someone about anything you've read here, or anything that the reading this might have stirred up for you, please contact Counseling Services at 715-425-3884.
Social support for the bereaved is most important. Others can provide a patient presence to allow the bereaved an opportunity to tell the story of the loss and to share how he or she is feeling. Remember that it is up to the individual to get through the grieving process; others can only provide support. If you are concerned for someone who appears to be having a difficult time managing alone, you may want to suggest seeking professional assistance.

Better yet, it even packs a quaint stylus for drawing cute apples and other fruits. Manufacturer: Shenzhen Huayi churns out the clone in the Shenzhen, the city known for pickpockets and tech look-alikes, and begs geeks to buy this latest of clones.
While Redmond Pie asks you to be wary of purchasing fake gear, TMA says: if you are fully of wasteful dosh, go ahead, but see if you can't save your pennies on something worthwhile, like an Apple iPad.
