All the original information follows:
At San Diego Comic Con this year Shout Factory imprint Scream Factory announced they might have the extended cut of Clive Barker's
Night Breedcoming out sometime next year. Now they have an official press release to verify the claim, which I have included below.
Quote: Shout! Factory and Morgan Creek Productions officially announced today a strategic distribution alliance to bring Clive Barker's classic horror film
Nightbreedextended director's cut to the home entertainment marketplace in the U.S and Canada and on digital entertainment platforms next year. The announcement was made by Shout! Factory's founders Richard Foos, Bob Emmer and Garson Foos along with David Robinson, President of Morgan Creek Productions. The news initially broke at Comic-Con 2013, however the agreement formally reached by both parties occurred today.
For years rumors swirled about substantial missing footage from the film. A fan-driven movement was created (www.OccupyMidian.com) to see the full version of the film restored and re-released, which was not only a more faithful adaptation of Clive Barker's book 'Cabal,' but is what originally he intended
Nightbreedto be.
Clive Barker said, 'I had a dream about the tribes of the moon. They would live in a city called Midian and, though they were monsters of every shape and size, they would be the heroes of a movie called
Nightbreed. However, when I made the movie, the studio was not comfortable with this inversion of the classic structure. They wanted the monsters to be simple-minded scare machines, while I wanted them to be the dark side of all of us, mysterious and misunderstood. Finally, with this new version of
Nightbreed, which contains over forty five minutes of previously unseen material, my original vision has been realized. Come with me to Midian, the city of monsters. The tribes of the moon await us.'
'We are excited by this opportunity with Morgan Creek and are huge fans of Clive Barker. His cinematic works and brilliant storytelling continue to captivate fans worldwide,' stated Shout! Factory's founders in a joint statement. 'We look forward to working closely with Clive to bring his original vision to life.'
Shout!'s Scream Factory plans an aggressive rollout of
Nightbreedextended director's cut through physical home entertainment releases and a variety of digital entertainment distribution platforms sometimes next year.
'We'd also like to take this opportunity to thank the fans,' noted Robinson. 'Without their hard work and persistence, this would have never become a reality. Clive Barker is one of the greats, and we are tremendously proud and excited to be working with him and Shout! Factory on this release.'
Update: The fine folks at Shock Till You Drop noticed a Fangoria interview in which Clive Barker and Seraphim Films' Mark Miller state that the Scream Factory release will
notbe the Cabal Cut, but a newly assembled director's cut.
Quote: The Cabal Cut was created by us in-house from the footage we found in the storage rooms. This 160-minute beast has every bit of
Nightbreedfootage we had access to incorporated into the cut. We put everything we found back in a) just to be able to say we'd seen that version and b) because we needed as much of the proverbial scultpor's rock to chip away from for what would become the finished masterwork: The Director's Cut. More importantly, the VHS footage will be put through a high-definition digitization process to make certain that this is the best version of Nightbreed possible.
Hopefully there will be an official announcement from Scream Factory on this matter, though there is still no release date set for their release.
Update Number 2: There will be two versions of the film released on Blu-ray on October 28th of this year.
The Limited Edition collection (only 5,000 sets produced) will include:
- Disc 1: Unrated Director's Cut of the film on Blu-ray
- Disc 2: The 1990 R-Rated theatrical version of the film on Blu-ray (through a special licensing agreement through Warner Bros.)
- Disc 3: EXCLUSIVE-TO-THIS-SET Bonus Blu-ray disc packed with extras (details forthcoming)
- Collector's Book with an essay and rare photos
- Slipcase includes newly designed artwork approved by Clive Barker
The Special Edition collection will include:

MELBOURNE, Australia – Andy Murray was sucking in deep breaths, trying to recover from his exhausting win over Roger Federer. Pain was very much on his mind.
The U.S. Open champion defeated Federer 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-3, 6-7 (2), 6-2 in a 4-hour Australian Open semifinal Friday night. It was Murray's first victory against the 17-time major winner at a Grand Slam event.
But with the clock about to strike midnight, Murray was already thinking about Sunday's final against two-time defending champion Novak Djokovic, who is on a 20-match winning streak at Melbourne Park. This will be a rematch of their U.S. Open final.
"Every time we play each other it's normally a very physical match," Murray said. "I'll need to be ready for the pain. I hope it's a painful match – that'll mean it's a good one."
Murray had a 10-9 record against Federer, but had lost his three previous Grand Slam matches to the Swiss star. One of those defeats came at Wimbledon last year. Murray
says the disappointment of that loss triggered his run to the gold medal at the London Olympics, and then his drought-breaking triumph at the U.S. Open.
"You know, I've obviously lost some tough matches against him in Slams," Murray said. "So to win one, especially the way that it went tonight, yeah, was obviously nice."
Murray ended a 76-year drought for British men at the majors when he beat Djokovic in five sets in the final at Flushing Meadows.
He's hoping the step-by-step manner in which he has crossed career milestones off his to-do list will continue Sunday. He lost four major finals, including two in Australia, before winning a Grand Slam title. He lost three times to Federer in a major before beating him. Even then, he wasted a chance to serve out in the fourth set Friday night as Federer rallied.
"Those matches ... have helped obviously mentally," he said. "I think going through a lot of the losses that I've had will have helped me as well. Obviously having won against Novak before in a Slam final will help mentally."
Rod Laver Arena was packed with 15,000 people for the semifinal, including the great Laver himself, to see if Federer could reach a sixth Australian final. The 31-year-old Swiss has won four of his 17 titles at Melbourne Park.
He showed flashes of his customary genius, but also rare bursts of anger. Murray showed his frustration as well. The crowd started to turn on him after he challenged a call in the eighth game of the fourth set, booing each time he complained to the umpire. His unforced error into the net on the next point prompted a huge cheer.
In the 12th game of the fourth set, Federer appeared to yell across the net after Murray stopped momentarily behind the baseline during the rally.
Murray shrugged it off and seemed to dig in. He'd won that point but lost the game and was taken to another tiebreaker, which he lost.
"We were just checking each other out for bit," Federer said. "That wasn't a big deal for me — I hope not for him."
Murray said "stuff like that happens daily in tennis," and added that it was "very, very mild in comparison to what happens in other sports."
When Federer got break point with Murray serving for the match at 6-5, the applause was so prolongedMurray had to wait to serve. And when Federer got the break to force a tiebreaker, the crowd stood and roared as Murray slammed a ball into the court in anger.
The crowd cheered for every Murray error in tiebreaker. One man yelled, "Andy, don't choke."
He didn't.
Rather than wilting under the pressure in the fifth set, Murray hit his stride. He allowed Federer only four points in the first three games of the fifth set, bolting to a 3-0 lead and carrying it through to the end.
"It's big. I never beat Roger in a Slam before. It definitely will help with the confidence," Murray said. "Just knowing you can win against those guys in big matches definitely helps."
Federer could see improvement in Murray's approach in the tough situations.
"With the win at the Olympics and the U.S. Open, maybe there's just a little bit more belief," Federer said. "Or he's a bit more calm overall."
Djokovic already owns three Australian titles and is aiming to be the first man in the Open era to win three in a row. The 25-year-old Serb was nearly flawless in his 89-minute disposal of No. 4-ranked David Ferrer in Thursday night's semifinal, and said he was hoping Murray and Federer would go to five sets.
"Obviously, Novak goes in as the favorite, I would think, even though Andy beat him at the U.S. Open," Federer said. "Novak is the double defending champion here. He's done really well again this tournament. Obviously a tough match again, and give a slight edge to Novak just because of the last couple of days."

Anticoagulants prevent blood clots and keep blood clots from getting bigger. They are also called blood thinners.
Apixaban and rivaroxaban block a blood clotting factor (Factor Xa) from working. Clotting factors are substances that make blood clot.
Dabigatran keeps thrombin from making a blood clot. Thrombin is a substance (enzyme) in the bloodstream that is needed for blood to clot.
Anticoagulants are used to lower the risk of stroke and blood clots in people who have atrial fibrillation.1
Your doctor may recommend an anticoagulant based on your risk of having a stroke. If you are age 55 or older and have atrial fibrillation, you can find your risk of stroke using this Interactive Tool: What Is Your Risk for a Stroke if You Have Atrial Fibrillation?
Apixaban, dabigatran, and rivaroxaban are newer medicines than the anticoagulant medicine warfarin. Warfarin has been used for many years to help prevent stroke in people who have atrial fibrillation. If you are thinking about taking a newer anticoagulant instead of warfarin, talk with your doctor to see if it is right for you.
Reasons why you might take an anticoagulant other than warfarin include:
You cannot take apixaban, dabigatran, or rivaroxaban if you have heart valve disease, an artificial heart valve, or severe kidney or liver disease.
These anticoagulants lower the risk of stroke in people who have atrial fibrillation.2, 3, 4
How much your risk
for a stroke will be lowered depends on how high your risk was to start with. Not everyone
who has atrial fibrillation has the same risk of stroke. It's a good idea to talk
with your doctor about your risk.
You will want to weigh the
benefits of reducing your risk of stroke against the risks of taking
an anticoagulant. Anticoagulants can help prevent stroke. But this medicine also
raises the risk of bleeding. Your own risk of bleeding may be higher or
lower than average, based on your own health.
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call 911 or other emergency services right away for signs of serious bleeding:
Call your doctor right away if you have unusual bleeding such as:
If you are injured, apply pressure to stop the bleeding. Realize that it
will take longer than you are used to for the bleeding to stop. If you can't get the bleeding to stop, call your doctor.
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
Call your doctor if you have:
Apixaban might cause a skin rash.
Dabigatran might cause stomach upset or stomach pain.
Rivaroxaban does not commonly cause other side effects, such as stomach problems.
Apixaban, dabigatran, and rivaroxaban are newer medicines. So doctors do not yet know if they have any other long-term side effects.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
Dabigatran storage. Keep your medicine in its original container or blister pack. Do not use a pill organizer or pill box. This medicine is sensitive to moisture.5
Do not stop taking your medicine without talking with your doctor first.
Take extra steps to prevent bleeding problems such as:
Apixaban, dabigatran, and rivaroxaban work differently from warfarin to prevent blood clots. So some of the precautions and safety tips for these newer anticoagulants are different from those for warfarin. Just as with warfarin, you need to take extra steps to prevent bleeding. But with these newer medicines, you do not need regular blood tests to check the medicine dose. And you do not need to eat and drink the same amount of vitamin K (found in many vegetables) every day.
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or trying to get pregnant, talk with your doctor. Do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to.
If you are pregnant, tell your doctor right away. Doctors don't know how these anticoagulants will affect you if you take one while you are pregnant. But these medicines have a risk of pregnancy-related bleeding. Apixaban is not recommended for pregnant women. You and your doctor will decide what medicines are safe for you during pregnancy.
If you are not planning on getting pregnant, talk to your doctor about how you can prevent pregnancy.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. You might have regular tests to check how well your kidneys are working.
Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

Kevin visits the Hurricane Research Lab at the University of Florida to see how they are protecting buildings through research and, with the help of the world's largest portable hurricane simulator, to feel what it's like to stand in a Category 3 hurricane.

I recommend using 3/16" I.D. tubing with about 6ft of length. It's always better to start with a longer line as you can always cut it shorter if need be.
Does that sound right 11.5 feet of tubing?
Is this the formula for 3/16" or does it matter if I use 1/4"?I am using 6 foot of 3/16" now.
At 14 psi with 3/16" tubing I would start with 10 feet. I'm not using an equation - morebeer says their 3/16" tubing has a restriction of 2.2 lbs / foot. My experience is that it is lower than that, more like 1.7-1.8 to get the pours that I want on my system. Since you can't make it longer, you might want to start even longer than 10 feet.
In my personal experience, I have found that 6ft of 3/16" beerline with a vertical lift of 2ft works best at 12psi and 38F

What to do with the pumpkins from the garden
7 comments:
How about a pumpkin risotto? You could it make using arborio rice or barley. The pumpkin soup recipe sounds interesting. Which of Bill Granger's cookbooks is it from?

It's more of a summery dish, but this is my favourite pumpkin salad ever: http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/14443/pumpkin+spinach+salad
I also love this, although I usually only do steps 1-3 (i.e. serve it just as a normal pasta, not a pasta bake) http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/22819/pumpkin+pasta+bake (blogged here)

Perfect timing, I've also got a heap of pumpkins from the garden.
We curried up some with some rogan josh paste with chick peas and misc vegies.
Mixed with some yogurt and rice and even Miss 9mths got into it.

I don't really have a pumpkin dish I can think of at the moment but I loved the recipes you shared. YUM!
Our garden is going pretty well too, plenty of rocket, basil. shallots and beans, just enough tomato and spinach for our use.
My mum is keeping us topped up with bok choy and snake beans so the only veges we buy are potato and onion.

- Ange said...
Gourmet getaways - your garden sounds like it is producing well for you at the moment, its funny but I swap with my mum too - lovely to have someone else to share the passion.
Also I had some other comments that didnt appear - anyone else had any probs with disappearing comments

- Johanna GGG said...
Blogger had huge problems a few weeks back and lots of comments and even posts around that time were lost
It is not exciting but one of my favourite pumpkin recipes is pumpkin scones - and my 2 year old just loves helping to make and eat them. I love pumpkin and have lots of recipe with it - you can find them at my blog if you (there is an index by ingredients with lots of ideas but it is not up to date)
Meanwhile I must look up stephanie's pumpkin hotcakes - sounds delish

WASHINGTON (AP) The Washington Nationals posted football-like numbers in routing the Chicago Cubs on Saturday with Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III watching from the stands.
The way Gio Gonzalez is pitching, it was much more than they needed.
Gonzalez pitched eight sparkling innings and Ryan Zimmerman tied a career high with four hits and drove in three runs as the Nationals roughed up the Chicago Cubs without recently traded Jeff Samardzija for a 13-0 victory.
''Today he didn't have the velocity he did in Chicago, but nevertheless when you can throw your breaking stuff for strikes then it makes your fastball look better,'' manager Matt Williams said after Gonzalez defeated Chicago for the second Saturday in a row.
''He's relied on (his curveball and changeup). If he gets in a jam he can throw either one of those, can use either one as a strikeout pitch,'' Williams added.
Jayson Werth and Anthony Rendon added three hits and two RBIs apiece for the Nationals on a day the Cubs were forced to start Carlos Villanueva (4-6) following the trade of Samardzija, the scheduled starter, and Jason Hammel to the Oakland Athletics.
''Somebody told me that earlier,'' Rendon said of the change. ''I didn't even know who we were facing to begin with. I just show up.''
Washington netted a season high in runs and hits (19), including eight doubles but no home runs.
''(The trade) had nothing to do with any of the things that happened today we spit out a bad ballgame,'' Cubs manager Rick Renteria said before the question could be asked.
He added he doesn't think it will be an issue going forward.
''I don't. You had two things happen,'' Renteria said. ''You had Gio who threw really well. So he stifles out offense pretty much and so that combined with us giving up a lot of runs it kind of looks like, `Wow - you know - what's going on?' It's just baseball.''
Gonzalez (6-4) allowed four hits, while striking out seven and walked one. He was lifted after throwing 109 pitches.
He's now thrown 29 consecutive scoreless innings against Chicago and 22 overall.
After spending a month on the disabled list with shoulder inflammation, Gonzalez is 3-0 in four starts since his return.
Villanueva was pulled after the first four Nationals reached base in the third inning. He was charged with four runs on five hits.
Chris Rusin, called up Saturday from Triple-A Iowa, was roughed up for five runs on nine hits over 3 2-3 innings.
Justin Ruggiano had two hits for Chicago, which had won four straight.
Williams flipped left-hander Bryce Harper and right-hander Rendon in the batting order, putting Rendon back in the 2-hole and Harper sixth against righty Villanueva.
''Bryce is a little tick off (his timing),'' Williams said before the game.
Harper (1 for 3 with a walk Saturday) is 4 for 18 since returning from the disabled list.
After Scott Hairston hit for Denard Span in the seventh, Hairston went to left field and Harper shifted to center.
Harper helped build the game's first run Saturday. After Zimmerman singled leading off the second, Harper bunted him to second base and Zimmerman scored on Desmond's single.
Washington sent 10-men to the plate in the third as they broke the game open and chased Villanueva. It was his fifth start of the season in 23 appearances.
Span started the inning off with a single, and Rendon, Werth, Zimmerman, Ian Desmond and Wilson Ramos had RBI hits. Adam LaRoche scored on Rusin's wild pitch.
''After that it's just go out there and attack the strike zone,'' Gonzalez said. ''Just try to stay consistent in the strike zone.''
When Gonzalez singled in the seventh, every Washington starter had hit safely.
NOTES: Washington's Danny Espinosa pinch hit in the eighth, his first at-bat since June 28. ... Rusin, 27, was 6-10 with 3.96 ERA in 16 starts at Iowa. ... Renteria said the team will add another reliever Sunday. ... In the seventh inning, Frandsen came on to play third base for Washington, with Zimmerman shifting to first. ... Desmond leads MLB shortstops with 53 RBIs. ... Griffin sported a No. 10 Nationals jersey with his name on the back and visited the locker room after the game. ... Chicago's RH Jake Arrieta (5-1, 1.81) opposes RH Jordan Zimmerman (6-4, 2.95) in Sunday's series finale.

COLUMBIA - As a ridge of high pressure pushes warm, moist air in from the Gulf of Mexico, the Carolinas braced Friday for multiple days of temperatures expected above 100 degrees.
The excessive heat is not expected to dissipate until Wednesday, just in time for July Fourth.
Extreme heat watches and warnings were in effect Friday and Saturday for coastal areas in North and South Carolina, where forecasters warn outside temperatures could feel as high as 118. The cause is a strong area of high pressure that provoked high temperatures over the Central Plains for the past week. It will make a home over the Tennessee Valley and Deep South on Friday, then move over the Southeast.
During the busy, pre-July 4th travel weekend, AAA Carolinas warned the more than 1 million motorists expected to be traveling in both states around the holiday to take precautions to ensure that their vehicles don't overheat.
"In the summer, heat is your vehicle's worst enemy, and the most vulnerable component is the battery, followed by your air conditioner," said Dusty Holcomb, president of the Charlotte, N.C.-based motor club. "Heat dries up fluids and reduces the battery's ability to function properly. Weak cooling systems often fail in extreme heat."
Holcomb advised motorists to check those systems before hitting the road as well as coolant and anti-freeze levels.
In South Carolina, state officials also warned those who might be staying at home to be aware of the heat. On Friday, South Carolina's Department of Health and Environmental control issued a poor-air-quality alert for 34 of the state's 46 counties because of increased ozone levels, with officials recommending that anyone with respiratory problems stay inside if possible.
The orange alert covers all the counties in the Midlands and Upstate and also includes several Pee Dee counties and the Charleston area.
Officials also warned against leaving children or pets in vehicles, even for a short time, as temperatures inside can quickly climb higher than 150 degrees. In North Carolina, officials said that a child in Burke County died earlier this month after being left in a hot car, the first such death in the state since 2009.

WASHINGTON — Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich says his consulting group never lobbied for clients. But his business hired state and federal lobbyists to work with clients, and some staff left to take lobbying jobs, according to lobbying disclosures and corporate reports.
Gingrich's Center for Health Transformation hired a former Georgia lobbyist to help develop business in that state; a former Missouri state agency director who was a registered lobbyist before joining Gingrich's group; and a Washington lobbyist hired from a firm led by former Oklahoma Rep. J.C. Watts, a Gingrich supporter.
Gingrich's center also paved the way for some employees to leave for lobbying jobs, turning their experience with his group into a selling point for clients. One former vice president started his own Washington lobbying firm, attracting clients also represented by Gingrich's organization. Two other center employees left to manage Washington lobbying operations for trade associations.
Gingrich's consulting business has been the focus of claims by Republican rival Mitt Romney, who paints the former House speaker as a Washington insider who peddled the influence he acquired in Congress to hundreds of corporate clients after he left the House in 1999. Gingrich stressed that he was not lobbying when he created his business and rented space along Washington's K Street corridor known for its high-dollar lobbying firms. And he's criticized Romney in the campaign for characterizing him as a lobbyist.
The center's website notes "we do no lobbying for clients" and says the staff hired constitutes "a team of experts in strategic thinking, policy, planning, research, coalition building, training, writing, communications and analysis."
Avoiding the label of Washington lobbyist is a common practice, made even more popular after President Barack Obama vowed to distance his administration from them. The result was a drop in the number of actual registered lobbyists. In Washington, the legal definition of a lobbyist requires certain narrow criteria to be met, including being paid by a client to spend at least 20 percent of the time attempting to influence "the formulation, modification or adoption of federal legislation." But that leaves out a lot of activity that would fall under a common-sense description of "lobbyist."
Gingrich last year cut ties to his Center for Health Transformation and the Gingrich Group, although he's still owed between $5 million and $25 million for his share of the business, his financial disclosures show. His group created the center in 2003 to focus on health-related initiatives like improved health care technology, Medicare changes and Obama's health care overhaul. The center won't identify its clients, citing confidentiality concerns. The Gingrich Group and the center have acknowledged generating $55 million between 2001 and 2010, serving more than 300 companies and organizations, including $1.65 million from the government-supported mortgage company Freddie Mac.
The Associated Press has identified more than 200 companies and associations that paid Gingrich's group about $42 million since 2003, according to lists of clients and client fees the group posted in the past on its website.
Two dozen of the nation's largest health care companies and businesses with major health-related costs paid Gingrich's group nearly $21 million during the period, or almost half of the $42 million in client fees identified by the AP. They included pharmaceutical companies like Novo Nordisk, AstraZeneca, and GlaxoSmithKline; insurers like Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Health Group and WellPoint Inc.; hospital networks like Sutter Health and Cancer Treatment Centers of America; medical equipment manufacturers like GE Healthcare and Siemens; health benefit manager MedImpact; and other businesses like Gallup Organization, UPS, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Co.
Six of the major health care companies and Booz Allen Hamilton, a large Washington government contracting and consulting firm, paid more than $1 million each to Gingrich's group since 2003. Seventeen others paid more than $500,000 each over the period, according to their membership levels identified by the center and the center's listed annual membership costs. Most of the 24 companies paid the top annual fee of $200,000, which provided the most access to Gingrich through private telephone conference calls, personal appearances, and regular updates and opinions that he offered members on national health issues and legislation.
Gingrich's 2010 tax return shows he earned $2.4 million of his total $3.1 million in income from his various businesses, but he's declined to show how much of that income came from clients at the Center for Health Transformation and the Gingrich Group.
Gingrich was the major draw for businesses paying his center. The Missouri Hospital Association paid $20,000 in 2007, but the money wasn't for a particular project or purpose, said David Dillon, an association vice president. "When you have the Center for Health Transformation in the biggest city in your state, you want to be engaged," he said.
The Indiana Health Care Association paid $70,000 in 2008 to become a client of Gingrich's group, which offered regular newsletters, website access, position papers and staff contacts.
"The only benefit that we were aware of is that we were able to have Mr. Gingrich as a speaker at our convention," said Kate Vaulter, an association spokeswoman.
Booz Allen Hamilton paid Gingrich's center to help sponsor health-related events, where Booz Allen consultants spoke and offered position papers on issues, spokesman James Fisher said.
Gingrich didn't work alone. He hired others, including lobbyists, to help serve the clients and develop state projects that Gingrich would later promote as model programs.
Robert Egge worked as a Washington lobbyist for J.C. Watts Companies, focusing on Medicare in 2005 before joining Gingrich's firm as a project director in March of that year. At the center, Egge "worked extensively with the Congress, executive branch and state governments on key policy initiatives related to Alzheimer's disease, as well as cancer, diabetes and long-term care," according to a bio produced after he joined the Alzheimer's Association, where he now works as vice president in the Washington public affairs office. The association became a client of Gingrich's group in 2010.
Wayne Oliver left his chief lobbyist job in 2006 with the Georgia Pharmacy Association, where he worked for 19 years, to join Gingrich's group. He's a vice president at the center now working on pharmacy issues and promoting changes at the Food and Drug Administration. But he also has worked on the center's Georgia Project, one of the state-based initiatives Gingrich's organization started to promote health care improvements and increased technology.
Julie Eckstein led Missouri's Department of Health and Senior Services, a cabinet position that required her to register as a state lobbyist before she joined Gingrich's group in 2007. She worked as a vice president at the Center for Health Transformation, overseeing state projects, including an office in Missouri that she helped create. She left last year to become managing director of health care services at St. Louis-based Guidon Peformance Solutions, another Gingrich group client.
Jim Frogue turned nearly six years working at Gingrich's firm into a new Washington lobbying business. Frogue, who served as a congressional legislative director for two House members before going to work with Gingrich, left the firm in late 2010 to start his own lobbying business, FrogueClark. His Washington office is in the same K Street building as the Center for Health Transformation. Some of Frogue's first lobbying clients were health care reimbursement company Qmedtrix Systems and pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly, who also were clients of Gingrich's group.
Frogue said he wasn't aware of anyone who lobbied before or during their time at Gingrich's center. "As far as I know, nobody was lobbying," Frogue said in a telephone interview while campaigning for Gingrich last week. He joined a number of other Washington lobbyists in December for a $1,000-a-person fundraiser for Gingrich's campaign.
Jill Randolph left her job with Gingrich's group in 2007 to run Washington lobbying efforts for the American Benefits Council and to manage the political action committee for the trade association representing employee benefit programs. Randolph, a project director at Gingrich's firm, was hired by the American Benefits Council to "draw upon her extensive legislative experience," according to the 2007 news release announcing her hiring.
Associated Press writer Ray Henry in Atlanta contributed to this report.

Walkers Beach,
Maria Island, TAS
Put one foot in front of the other for long enough and you might just forget where you came from. Of course, it helps if you're headed through the epic, ancient and transforming wilderness that has made Tasmania a haven for walkers across the world. Almost half of this small and scenic state is protected within national parks and reserves and 20 per cent is World Heritage-listed. The 17 national parks are crisscrossed with thousands of kilometres of trails ranging from daredevil to dreamy. Long and short, gentle and giant, here are just some of the wonderful Tasmanian walks that can take you away from it all.
From Hobart
From Hobart, its 20 minutes to rugged Mount Wellington, where the three to four hour Organ Pipes Walk takes you over the towering, dolerite cliffs of the same name. To Hobart's east, on nearby Bruny Island, you can walk the coastal track to Penguin Island from Adventure Bay or climb the timber stairs to Neck Lookout for dizzying ocean views. You'll soon see why director Baz Lurhmann recommended this place. Further along the east coast is Tasman National Park, where you can spend days exploring the fluted sea-cliffs and giant rocks. If you only have a day, spend an hour on the cliff walk to Waterfall Bay or take three to four trekking to scenic and remote Bivouac or Fortescue Bay. To Hobart's west lies the wild, vast expanse of South West National Park. Do a day walk to deep, ice-carved Lake Judd or test your mettle on the 70km Port Davey Track and 85 km South Coast Track to remote Melaleuca. From here you'll need to be collected by boat or plane, or do the whole distance all over again!

Success in school is determined by many factors, and as higher education funding continues to dwindle the cost of education is increasing. While Utah State University is one of the best values around, scholarships funded during the campaign allow students to defray some of their education costs without sacrificing the quality. Throughout the course of the campaign, USU raised $32 million alone to establish 195 new scholarship endowments to be used by students over time. In addition, $26 million in expendable scholarship funds were given as gifts to be used by students immediately.
One of the highlight scholarships established during the campaign was started by USU President Stan L. Albrecht. The Aggie Promise Scholarship Endowment was created to provide financial assistance to first generation college students and other students with limited economic means as an incentive to encourage these students to enter college and complete degrees. The endowment is already a success as Aggie Promise scholarship recipient LaDonya Jackson can attest. Hailing from a rough neighborhood in Stockton, Calif., LaDonya is working hard to earn a degree in veterinary science so she can pursue her childhood dream of becoming a veterinarian.
USU alums have also done their part to generously donate to the scholarship fund during the campaign. Before his passing in 2008, College of Engineering alum David G. Sant established the Undergraduate Research Scholar Endowment to support up to eight engineering students per year pursuing engineering degrees. The annual stipend is matched by a corporate sponsor and awarded to students involved with a USU corporate sponsored research project overseen by a USU faculty member housed in the Sant Engineering Innovation Building.
Dell Loy and Lynette Hansen, both USU alums, began the Hansen Scholars fund at USU to support retention scholarships for an estimated 20-25 students a year who might not have otherwise been able to afford to attend USU.
The Ray L. and Eloise Hoopes Lillywhite University Scholars Endowment was started by the the estate of Ray L. and Eloise Hoopes Lillywhite, helping USU attract and recruit top students in all areas of study at the university.
And the students are appreciative. Natalie Nelson, a speech-language pathology graduate student in the Emma Eccles Jones College of Education and Human Services, is a scholarship recipient. Since her days as an undergraduate studying communicative disorders, Nelson has worked with faculty mentors Ron Gillam and Sandra Gillam to help children learn how to read and speak.
Nelson is especially mindful of the donors who have helped fund her education. She feels lucky to work with such esteemed faculty mentors and said that she wouldn't have the opportunity to do so without the help of scholarships and grant assistance.
"That is the only way I, and many of my fellow classmates, can afford to go to college," she said. "When I graduate I can go out into life and not be in debt."

The interconnect survey will be posted on ClusterMonkey.net > as soon as I can get around to finishing it :) Jeff points out one of the two issues slowing down adoption of 10GigE in HPC. The first bottleneck is the lack of a cheap high port count non-blocking 10GigE switch. As Jeff points out above, there is now movement towards addressing this. The second issue is the lack of a broadly adopted RDMA implementation. It appears that there is movement forward in this arena as well with the move to adopt the verbs interface from the OpenIB group. But as someone pointed out in a previous email, just as 10GigE will surely catch up to where IB is today, by that time, IB will be at the next generation with DDR, QDR, 12X, etc, etc, etc... There is also the question as to whether GigE will be able to demonstrate the ultra low latencies seen in high performance interconnects such as Quadrics, InfiniBand and Myrinet. In the end, there will most likely remain a market for high performance interconnects for high end applications. -Gary Green

- Holy crap. Just went through hell trying to finalize my application for a credit card when they wouldn't even accept the relay calls for some reason and kept shuffling me around. I have never been so ANGRY before.
Apparently, they don't like dealing with deaf people!
The ADA noncompliance lovefest continues, inside…

- "Earlier, I got a phone call from them and my mother picked it up and tried to explain to the verification Dept (which was apparently based in India) that I was deaf and they still refused to let my mother interpret the call. My mother had another call to make so I had to get on sprintrelayonline.com to make a on line relay call to the credit card place, I got this number 1-800-733-1421 which mysteriously was a 911 emergency place. I looked up on line and finally used the customer service phone number: 1-800-955-7070…
The guy in customer service was very kind to me but said he could not help me so he sent me to the account department. She could not help me either because she didn't deal with the verification… and that was when the trouble started again.
The verification department immediately said they did not accept relay calls and would not talk to me, but instead would send me back to customer service dept which had told me that they could NOT help me. I got angry at this point and told them that I was not happy with being shuffled about because as a deaf person, I've had to deal with this sort of crap before the ADA laws came in place. I then told them that I would be reporting them to Better Business Bureau and asked the relay operator to hang up on them (which she happily did because she was not happy with the mistreatment either!)"

The UIC Event Calendar is built around the UICalendar system. One benefit of this relationship is the ability to post events from the Master Calendar to your own personal calendar (assuming that you are using UICalendar for your personal calendar). Another benefit is the possibility of creating departmental, college or group calendars and posting ievents to multiple calendars with one entry.
You can use the Events Calendar webpage as an interface (henceforth 'EventCal') to your departmental calendar, using it to view or add events, much as you would a normal calendar client program. Events can be shared between these calendars as desired. Thus you could add an event to your departmental calendar that would also appear on the main UIC events calendar, or make it appear just on your department's calendar, or any number of others.
For example, a department might have its own calendar, it might be affiliated with a department that also has a calendar, and the college might have one as well. The program might have an event that was of potential interest to the entire community. By entering the data using EventCal, the individual entering the event information could choose to post the entry to any or all of the four calendars at once (assuming that they have access rights to the program, departmental, and college calendars).
When you connect your departmental calendar to EventCal, you can also modify templates to change how your particular departmental calendar is displayed, so it can look however you want it to look. We also create automatic daily RSS feeds that can be aggregated usign Google Reader or any number of RSS aggregators. You'll also be able to control access to your calendar from this interface, so you can set who will be able to post events, delete events, etc.
First you'll need to create your department's or organization's calendar on our calendar server, UICal. Each department has a REACH member who is authorized to set up such calendars using a special interface. Not sure who your REACH person is? See the REACH page. If you're not able to get your calendar created that way, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com for assistance.
Once your calendar is created, assuming your REACH member properly assigned you ownership of it, you'll be able to access it and change options for it on our UICalendar Utilities Interface (Bluestem login required). From there you'll be able to connect your UICal calendar to the EventCal interface. Again, if you're unable to access the calendar there, and/or your REACH person can't help, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com for assistance.
As part of the process, your UICal calendar will have its default viewing/booking permissions set to allow any user user to view/book this calendar. Don't change these settings or else your calendar will not be able to properly interact with other calendars via the EventCal interface.
Once your calendar is created and connected to the EventCal interface, you'll be able to access it by modifying the main address slightly. The address will look like this, except that you will replace CALENDARNAME with your calendar's loginid.
We can also create a webalias, more suited to advertising, which will automatically redirect browsers to that address, something like
Just let us know what name you want by sending us a note at firstname.lastname@example.com.
UICalendar allows for users to be added as designates of a calendar, meaning they have authority to add, modify, or delete any event on a calendar. You can control the list of designates for your calendar using UICalendar Utilities Interface, but you can also do via the EventCal Admin Panel. In the latter case, anyone listed as a designate can use the interface to view and change the list of designates.
By default, calendars are added as publicly viewable, but only designates may post to those calendars. If you want to allow any UIC user to post to your calendar, you can add "public" as a designate using the Admin Panel. Users who post events who are not designates will have control only over events they have posted.
If you do allow public access, you also have the ability to exclude certain users if that should become necessary. In the Admin Panel you will see a button to "ban" any netid.
Note that if you add designates directly to your UICal calendar via other calendar clients, the EventCal interface will not recognize them until the following day, as each night all designates are copied to the EventCal utility from your actual calendar.
When you use the EventCal interface to enter new events or modify events, it updates its own copy of the event, as well as the data on the UICal calendar, keeping the two synchronized. However, if you add events directly to your UICal calendar using some other client, those events will not become visible from the EventCal interface until the next day, after a nightly update has run to copy them over.
You might also notice that some fields used in EventCal are stored in the "notes" section of the event in UICal, using particular formatting. If you use the same formatting, the fields will transfer as such to EventCal, otherwise all the "notes" will just show up as the description of the event.
You may wish to modify the calendar's HTML templates in order to change the calendar's appearance to suit your department's needs. To do so, you'll need some basic familiarity with web design and file management. You will also need to create a tigger account if you do not already have one.
On tigger, you'll find a directory named for your calendar at:
By default there will be a file there called "title", in which you can specify the name of your calendar as you would like it to appear on the EventCal interface. All the other templates are not in your directory, they are in a default directory here:
You can copy any or all of the files from the default directory to your directory and modify them as you see fit. They will automatically be incorporated when your calendar is invoked. When a specific template file is not present in your directory, the default template will be used. The templates use Template Toolkit templating language.
We automatically create daily RSS feeds from your calendar, just replace CALENDARNAME with your calendar's name - deptname.deptcal - in this URL:
You'll also find an RSS link on your calendar's default page that points to this same address.

Big Boom Shakes Missoula's North Side [AUDIO]
Residents of Missoula's north side were startled by a very loud explosion in the Allied Waste Company landfill just before 10 o'clock Saturday morning.
Missoula County Sheriff's department spokesman Jason Johnson said some workers at the landfill spotted a large amount of dynamite that someone had improperly disposed of on Friday night. The workers contacted 9-1-1 and the Sheriff's Department sent their Emergency Ordinance Disposal Team (EOD) to the site.
The team determined that the landfill would be the safest place to detonate the explosives, rather than attempting to move it to their usual disposal location out by the airport.
Johnson said the team cleared the area and detonated the dynamite at about 9:50 on Saturday morning, and the blast was heard and felt all over the north and west sides of Missoula.
Johnson said no one was injured, and that it would be next to impossible to trace the dynamite to its original owner, so he took the occasion to ask the public if they spot dynamite anywhere it shouldn't be...to not touch it, but contact 9-1-1 immediately for proper and safe disposal.

Socks have a thankless job. They spend their days shoved deep inside a shoe. They try desperately to hold onto our foot and not slip around as they get walked on, all the while trying to breathe and not be too overwhelmed by the heat and moisture given off by the foot. Oh, and they still need to stay pretty just in case you hike up your pant-leg to show them off to a fellow knitter.
It takes a special yarn to be able to handle this responsibility. Those yarns that are up to the challenge will reward you with enduring beauty and, depending on the yarn, a possibility for subtle intrigue as well.
I like intrigue, which is why I chose a sock pattern to swatch for this column. Chrissy Gardiner's Buttercup socks feature a sweet, U-shaped buttercup motif running down the leg and the top of the foot, bordered on either side with a single purl rib column. There's enough going on to keep you entertained, but not so much that it overwhelms your eyes or conceals any unique qualities in the yarn you're using.
We begin with the gold standard of sock yarns, Louet Gems.
Mind you it doesn't have nylon, and it's composed of only two plies. Yet a very large percentage of the hand-dyed sock yarns on the market are made from this base yarn. It is a superwash Merino whose springy two plies give shadow and three-dimensionality to your knitting. I chose a solid color to accentuate the qualities of the yarn itself, and Chrissy's stitch pattern took on a beautifully rippled, lacy look.
Next I played with another perennial sock standard, the plump and springy Socks That Rock Mediumweight. This three-ply superwash Merino yarn has been plied very tightly, the plies almost perpendicular to the direction of the yarn, to produce an extremely energetic fabric.
The three-ply structure produced much more rounded stitches in which the k2togs and ssks stood out in a very high-relief, three-dimensional way. While Tina Newton makes some extraordinary variegated colors, I chose a faintly semisolid colorway for this swatch so that it wouldn't overpower the stitches.
You don't quite realize what a different tightness of twist and ply can make until you see the next swatch, which I knit from Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock. The four plies in this yarn have been spun and plied very smoothly, with only moderate twist.
It's still strong and well-constructed enough for socks — especially with its 20% nylon content — but it delivers a smoother, more serene face for the stitches. Still, the CDD at the base of each U has a slight pucker that lifts the tip off the surface, like the scales on an upside-down asparagus tip. For this swatch I bumped up the variegation just a hint by using a color that drifts from pink to yellow to white. (It's my colorway, Clara's Garden — sorry, I couldn't resist!)
This pattern needs a reasonably harmonious color variegation to keep the pattern from being obscured. If you were to work with stronger contrasting colors — ones that went from red to blue, for example — you'd obscure a great deal of the stitchwork (and your time). Some people like that effect, others don't.
So far, all the yarns I've talked about had a superwash Merino foundation. The challenge with sock yarn is that it needs to have spring and bounce in order to hug the leg. Spring and bounce are two qualities that wool embodies best. Thanks to the miracles of modern spinning and fiber technology, we have some beautiful non-wool sock yarn alternatives out there now. I swatched Panda Cotton, an intriguing blend from Crystal Palace Yarns that mixes 59% bamboo, 25% cotton, and 16% elastic nylon.
At first glance the yarn looks normal enough, but when you look more closely you'll see that it's got a bit more going on. It is composed of four strands, each of which is composed of two standard strands of fiber and one nearly invisible wisp of fiber. Those strands are wrapped tightly around the wisp in a way that creates a springy strand that is rendered even springier by being plied to a near vertical degree with the other plies.
All those multiple layers of plies—combined with the 16% elastic nylon—give you a well-wearing yarn that also has bounce and spring, while you still get to enjoy the comfortable qualities of the cotton.
This yarn delivered the smoothest, most well-rounded fabric of the bunch, although it was slightly denser than the Merino-based yarns. It rendered the U bases in slightly lower-relief than the other yarns. But whereas those Merino yarns were primarily matte, the bamboo component in Panda Cotton introduced a delicate striated shimmer in the finished fabric.
For me, this exercise helped affirm a cardinal truth in knitting: the yarn really does make a difference. Even if you want to knit the same pattern over and over again, you can swap one yarn for another and get fresh new results.
Which yarn will you pick?

Nordic Convoy Heads for Syria on Delayed Chemical Weapons Mission
Four Norwegian and Danish vessels, which are due to ship hundreds of tons of deadly chemicals out of Syria, headed for international waters off the Syrian coast on Friday, a Norwegian military spokesman said.
The operation has missed its Dec. 31 target date but, Lars Magne Hovtun said, the ships have now left the Cypriot port of Limassol, about 160 miles (250 km) west of Latakia port where they are due to collect their chemical cargo.
"The four ships have now set a course toward a holding area in international water outside Syria, so we are most ready to enter the port of Latakia when the order arrives," he said.
The original deadline was missed because of poor weather, logistical delays and the conflict inside Syria, where President Bashar al-Assad's forces have fought to clear rebels from roads along which the chemicals will be transported.
The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), which is overseeing the removal of the chemicals along with Syrian authorities and the United Nations, has not said exactly when the chemicals will be ready to ship from Latakia.
"In any operation of this kind one does not state the day of execution but we are comfortable in the knowledge that all the work is about to be completed," the Special Coordinator of the OPCW-UN Joint Mission, Sigrid Kaag, told Reuters this week.
"This is a very complex management exercise - over and above the fact that it is a chemical weapons program that has to be destroyed at a time that a country is at war," he said.
Syria agreed to abandon its chemical weapons under a deal proposed by Russia and hashed out with the United States, after an Aug. 21 sarin gas attack that Western nations blamed on Assad's government. Syrian authorities deny they used chemical weapons, blaming rebels for that and other attacks.
Once they have removed the chemicals from Latakia, the Nordic vessels will be escorted by Russian and Chinese ships to an Italian port where the cargo will be loaded onto a U.S.-owned ship adapted to destroy the chemicals.
The U.S. vessel, the Cape Ray, is due to leave the United States for the Mediterranean in about two weeks.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Assistant Manager Dismissed Days After Giving Birth, Federal Agency Charges
SAN FRANCISCO — Apparel retailer Genesco, Inc. violated federal law when it fired a female employee instead of allowing her to return to work after having a baby, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit filed today.
Leah Marshall began her employment in 2005 as a sales associate for the Genesco shoe store Journeys, in a shopping mall in Newark, Calif., and had been promoted to an assistant manager before taking her maternity leave in October 2007. According to the EEOC's investigation, she was assured she could return to work after her child was born. However, in November 2007, just a few days after her child's birth, she received a call informing her there was no longer a position for her. Her termination was effective December 2007.
"When I talked to my manager, I could not believe what I was hearing," said Marshall. "I now had a child to support and no job. I had been dedicated and reliable employee, and it was devastating to be tossed aside just because I was a new mom."
Pregnancy discrimination violates Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, as amended by the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978. After first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement through conciliation efforts, the EEOC filed suit (EEOC v. Genesco, Inc., Civil Action No. CV 12 2220 DMR) in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The agency seeks lost wages, damages for emotional distress, and punitive damages on behalf of Marshall, as well as injunctive relief such as training for company managers and employees, and compliance monitoring by the EEOC.
"All employers need to understand that sex discrimination includes discrimination based on pregnancy, childbirth and pregnancy-related conditions," said EEOC Regional Attorney William Tamayo. "The EEOC has seen pregnancy- and childbirth-related claims increase along with the economic crisis, and so we will vigorously defend workers' rights in this area."
EEOC San Francisco District Director Michael Baldonado said, "Ms. Marshall was willing to return to work, wanted to work to support her family, and had performed well in her job. Working women should not be forced to choose between motherhood and their livelihood." He noted that in February the EEOC held a public meeting in Washington concerning discrimination against pregnant women and workers with caregiving responsibilities. Material from this Commission meeting can be found at www.eeoc.gov/eeoc/meetings/2-15-12/index.cfm.
According to its website, Genesco, Inc. is a Nashville-based specialty retailer with more than 2,380 retail stores throughout the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom. Its retail brands and stores include Journeys, Journeys Kidz, Shi by Journeys, Schuh, Lids, Lids Locker Room, Johnston & Murphy, Underground Station and Dockers Footwear.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Anyways, I told myself I can only justify going if I get a substantial amount of aid ("substantial" being yet to be defined, probably something like 1/3-1/2 off first year merit) and that means I have to crush, absolutely conquer, the LSAT. And I have a plan, a plan that involves me being just miserable and endlessly mired in practice tests for the next three months. I made a bombass spreadsheet and everything. Wish me luck.
For the love of God, don't pay sticker at a TTT like Vermont. Their employment statistics are absolutely horrible. There is no scenario where it makes sense to drop $240k on a school that only places 45% of its graduates into full time legal jobs (with no associate salary information provided), and where a full 23% are completely unemployed.
Yeah, I read what you posted, I just didn't respond because it wasn't helpful. If you have something for me besides "don't", feel free to chime in.

Aviva Premiership
McCafferty: Anglo-Welsh comp unlikely

Premiership chief executive Mark McCafferty admits to talks with Welsh counterparts © Getty Images
The prospect of the four Welsh regions joining the Aviva Premiership remains "pretty unlikely" despite talks between the two parties, according to Premiership chief executive Mark McCafferty.
McCafferty confirmed he met with Regional Rugby Wales chairman Stuart Gallacher and Cardiff Blues chief executive Richard Holland. He insisted the majority of the meeting revolved around other issues but admitted they had discussed the possibility of the four Welsh regions - the Blues, the Ospreys, the Scarlets and Newport Gwent Dragons - joining an Anglo-Welsh competition.
"It is certainly true I met with Stuart and Richard," McCafferty told the Rugby Paper. "People may think its (Welsh involvement in the Aviva Premiership) a great idea especially with Wales having that long historic rivalry with English clubs but it's pretty unlikely. The practical difficulties are pretty obvious.
"There was a pretty broad agenda. We are conscious of the fact that the European agreement finishes at the end of next season. The main focus of the discussions was around Europe, the LV=Cup and the possibilities of Wales joining up in Sevens' competitions.
"Europe only has one season left. We all have to figure out what happens after next year which is why we are talking to a number of partners. The meetings with ERC (European Cup Rugby) have been hugely unsuccessful. The Welsh regions and the French clubs are natural allies as far as we are concerned."
The Welsh regions are eager to explore new options as they struggle to hold on to their top players, such as George North who has been in talks over a move to Northampton, in a difficult financial climate. And despite the potential opposition from English clubs, the other RaboDirect sides and the International Board, a senior Welsh official is optimistic progress can still be made towards an Anglo-Welsh league.
"There have been a couple of meetings," the official told the Rugby Paper. "At this stage it's a matter of exploring the possibilities. The English clubs seem relatively warm on the idea otherwise we wouldn't be having a chat with them."
"We are at the stage of trying to find out whether anything would fit. We are looking at a number of different ideas to recreate competition with the English clubs. There's no doubt it would be brilliant if it happened. Never say never."
