laptop fans not working properly
hi my laptops fan is not working can you please tell me what shall i do about the fan
Re: laptop fans not working properly
You posted in Desktop/Monitor, but you say you have a Laptop. I am assuming you have a Notebook computer.
Hopefully, it's just dirty. Dirty can be fixed with a can of compressed air and blowing out the vents.
Here's a link to the "All Things Fans" that should help.
There's a LINK inside this doc that has pictures that will scare you... I've NEVER seen a notebook THAT dirty: Do not worry that the inside of your computer looks like that unless you let it live in a pile of dirty socks.
Fan Runs Constantly, the PC Notebook Operates Slower than Expected and Generates Heat
The document will help you find out what is wrong...
If you do have a Desktop, you'll need a different solution and a different link. Smiling!
I hope this helps!
It is my pleasure to assist.

Re: laptop fans not working properly
I just bought myself a Cooler Master Notepal X2 Notebook Cooler R9-NBC-4WAK-GP and looks really nice. I cannot wait until will arrive.
Do you know anything about it?
Re: laptop fans not working properly
Looks like you'll be happy with this cooler. I have a similar product (Zyman 2000) and I am pleased with its perforamance.
The reviews for this Cool Master are positive - Cool Master is a poplular product with a lot of users.
The only major critique I found in the reviews for this cooler:
1) centered fan not ideal for the larger 17" notebook, but does get the job done.
2) nothing to keep the notebook from sliding off the cooler (when using the feet to elevate so cooler gets air flow underneath - important!)
The first is not easily solved - the cooler will either be OK or not depending on your notebook. You can elevate your notebook (I do this) to increase the air flow between the notebook and the cooler - this eliminates hot spots and just about any cooler can cool any notebook. See the Hercules X-Stand (Amazon sells these).
The second is easily solved - get a couple of tiny rubbery feet and stick them on the cooler. Sticky feet will catch the notebook and it won't slide off. Fixed. You may have to glue the feet with Gorilla Glue - the self stick feet may not stick over time. ?? Tiny Flaw.
I didn't see that this cooler has an ON / OFF switch.
The cooler does have a variable fan speed control - this is a nice feature.
There is mention of a USB port (or two) - I'd never use these, but there you go.
If you have concerns about your notebook's 500MA USB power ceiling, you could consider attaching this to a ZIIG USB hub with ITS own power supply with under/over current protection. It might be overkill - it depends on what you are running and how much "stuff" you have hanging off your notebook. The ZIIG hub still has to be plugged into the notebook, of course, but it doesn't suck the life out of it and protects itself. You can buy both 3.0 and 2.0 USB SIIG hubs.
Bottom Line: It's not a lot of money to spend on what appears to be a good product.
Check out the customer views at the Amazon site - they include some notes about that user's setup.

Dear Prospective Applicant to the Doctoral Program:
I welcome your interest in the Ph.D. program in Social Welfare at UCLA. Studying for a doctorate with us is a unique and exciting educational experience. After completing the first year foundation seminars, you pursue your own intellectual interests, drawing on the truly rich interdisciplinary environment of this world-class university. For many of our students, this is the first time in their life that they design their own advanced education. Using the multitude of resources available, students develop a study plan and select the courses they want to pursue, as they prepare for careers as researchers and teachers.
From the time of your admission, the faculty will work with you to ensure your success. At UCLA the social welfare faculty consider doctoral students as colleagues, and because of the individualized nature of our program, you will work closely with faculty by participating actively in research projects and by co-authoring articles for publication. We make every effort to provide you with financial assistance, especially in the first two years, and subsequently through research and teaching assistantships. In addition, we have a supportive learning environment that includes office space, computer support, and access to a superb research library. As a result, almost all of those admitted to our program graduate with their Ph.D., usually within five years.
The transition from a role as a practitioner to a scholar/researcher is more than a change in job title. It signifies a major change in the nature of the contribution you will make to social work and to society. UCLA doctoral students are tomorrow's social work scholars, researchers and professors, responsible for advancing knowledge and training the next generation of practitioners.
We seek students for our Ph.D. program whose career interests fit with our program and faculty. In this website we provide information about the program's mission, curriculum, admission requirements, and financial aid. Also, profiles of our students and faculty suggest the diversity of our academic interests. I encourage you to review these materials to see if UCLA is the right program for you.

As one of a handful of events comprising International Education Week at Bainbridge State College, the International Education Committee will host a viewing of "The Mission," a 1986 film starring Robert DeNiro and Aidan Quinn, on Tuesday, Nov. 12, at 6 p.m. in Room 961 of the Student Wellness Center on the main campus.
The event is free and open to the public.
"Featuring a majestic score by Ennio Morricone and lush Oscar-winning cinematography by Chris Menges, director Roland Joffé's film examines the events surrounding the Treaty of Madrid in 1750, when Spain ceded part of South America to Portugal, and turns this episode into an allegory for the mid-'80s struggles of Latin America," critic Paul Brenner writes. "Two European forces are on hand to win the South American natives over to imperialist ways. The plunderers want to extract riches and slaves from the New World. The missionaries, on the other hand, want to convert the Indians to Christianity and win over their souls."
Set in Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil, "The Mission" is a natural fit for this semester's International Education Week schedule of events, which will focus specifically on the country and culture of Brazil.
"International Education Week is a great opportunity for our students to explore cultures and issues that they might not be exposed to otherwise," said Emily Dowd-Arrow, assistant professor of English at Bainbridge State and a member of the International Education Committee, which was responsible for coordinating the week's activities. "Brazil was a consensus choice for this semester's focus, with its vibrant, diverse and cosmopolitan population and its upcoming role on the global stage as host to next year's World Cup and the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro."
The International Education Committee is a group of volunteers from among Bainbridge State's faculty and staff who share an abiding interesting in expanding students' multicultural awareness. Each semester, the Committee chooses to study a region or country that will both fascinate and enlighten students, broadening their sense of a global community by introducing speakers, performers, artists, creative contests and international foods to Bainbridge State.
International Education Week will take place on the Bainbridge campus from Monday, Nov. 11, to Friday, Nov. 15. In addition to the viewing of "The Mission," the campus will host a book discussion, Brazilian music, a presentation by poet and translator Juan Carlos Galeano and a tasting menu featuring the country's cuisine.

ancient art by the Khmer. captured in Hombroich/germany
Comment/Rate Critique Guideline Share this Image
I think the composition is original and well chosen. I see lots of gallery photography that does not do so well.
The BW works well, but there appears to be a bit of a DOF problem.
For me, the stark white background does not work so well. You might consider some shadow cast across the background in a way tha would emphasise the perspective. This is just a wild guess.
Best wishes...
Joe Sneed HoF ♥ ¤ at 12:46 EST on 2006-Feb-28 [Reply]
thanks Joe,
the DOF was choosen intentionally and with full conscious.
I wanted the foreground statue sharp and the second unsharp.
thought about adding some additionally 'artificial' blurriness but decided not to do.
to choose a different f-stop for more DOF would have been no problem.
the background was white and bright. but I must admit I was a bit unsure about the brightness. but had no
satisfying idea about this. maybe I'll make another try later with your suggested shadow idea.
could be a usuable solution.

Michael I like this very much for the dof you went for and it is great to see shots set up deliberately with the dof in mind and pre-visualised as you have done here. This is a real art I would like to see more of this kind of decision represented. Like the others, I like the compo as well. I think it was difficult with the wall so white. Perhaps Joe's suggestion is apprpriate and if you experiment with it, would love to see the result of your work. We had a great time. I never lay down on my back before to do so much photography!
Eugene Donohoe HoF Win ♥ ¤1 $ at 03:58 EST on 2006-Mar-01 [Reply]
thanks Doro: guess playing with the DOF is a result from playing with the Lensbaby ;)
it enhances creativity more than I expected.
thanks David: glad u get what I were after with the comp. I also like it but think there is still
potential with the statues which I didn't use. guess one day I need to go back to make the images
I missed this time.
also thanks Eugene: after processing all the shots with you laying on the back *ggg I'll come
back to this one to see whats possible for me. it was really amazing to see you planning and
composing your images with such a conciousness and calm.
very different to my image making behavior which is much more faster, 'uncontrolled' and intuitiv.
but at least its the result which counts, no matter how someone is used to shoot.
think I should spend more time on planning. I would miss less images I guess ;)
michael hoefner HoF Win ♥ ¤ $1 at 06:48 EST on 2006-Mar-01 [Reply]
agree...the result is count no matter style of shooting...and this one is excellent "result"...great compo and tones...this conversion of yours gives more strenght to subject ( i just try to imagine diff. channels of this picture) and i like that second statule is little out of Dof...this little trick made picture more interesting instead all sharp.
denis grzetic HoF Win ♥ ¤1 at 10:16 EST on 2006-Mar-01 [Reply]
thanks Denis, yes the picture would be more ordinary if the second statue was sharp. I tried to give some sense for material and detail in the near FG and shapes in the BG. details need to be sharp while shapes are identifiable even if they are blurred. meanwhile after viewing it again and again I have no more doubts about the bright BG.
michael hoefner HoF Win ♥ ¤ $1 at 11:13 EST on 2006-Mar-01 [Reply]
It´s a great ...
example for shooting a detail and the whole object at same picture. Like it a lot, espec how the right figure fits in the curve of the left figure. Also conversion is perfect. Oping the thumbnail, I was surprised by arranging the DOF. Was expecting the left figure unsharp and the right figure sharp. But maybe it´s better to show the detail sharp.
Kind regards,

One of the weirdest movies ever and a cult object because of it, this 1986 deadpan satire about a married, upper-middle-class diplomat's wife (Charlotte Rampling) who has a love affair with a chimpanzee is getting a DVD release just in time for the gift-giving season -- perfect for those who already own King Kong.
Director Nagisa Oshima (In the Realm of the Senses) teamed up with co-screenwriter Jean-Claude Carrier and producer Serge Silberman (both of whom worked on Bunuel's Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie) for this Paris-set comedy of manners. After British diplomat Peter Jones (Anthony Higgins) discovers his wife in bed with Max, an adult chimp she met at the zoo, he tries to handle his jealousy with civility by inviting Max to move in. Then he drives himself crazy wondering if he's playing a chump to a chimp. Max, for his part, screams a lot and breaks things. Max Mon Amour can get really strange, but Oshima is so kind to his characters that the satire on middle-class morality has little bite. And the last act is as cutesy as a Spielberg movie. Maybe Spielberg should remake Max Mon Amour. (Steven Rosen) Grade: C+

Brooke Hogan grappling with stressBrooke Hogan is having stress-related attacks.
The 21-year-old reality TV star - daughter of wrestling icon Hulk Hogan - was due to perform at a New York concert last weekend, but pulled out after suffering from anxiety and other unspecified medical problems.
Hulk, who was scheduled to host the event, was so concerned for his daughter's health he withdrew from appearing at the concert to be with her.
A source told FOX News: "Brooke is incredibly sensitive. She really cares about everyone around her and takes on a lot."
Brooke - who has her own hit MTV series 'Brooke Knows Best' - is still struggling to deal with the breakdown of her parents' 25-year marriage.
Hulk - real name Terry Bollea - and Linda Bollea finalized their bitter divorce last month, and the split has inspired singer Brooke to pen a song about her strained relationship with her mother.
Brooke said: "All of the drama with my family and me and my mom and the separation between us and all that crazy stuff, I actually wrote about that. I have a song called 'Dear Mom' and it's about the trials and tribulations with my mom, so I wrote about that and just everything that I've been through."

Magazine article The Exceptional Parent
The Road to Atlanta
Article excerpt
World Congress Vision Becomes Clear as Leaders Shape Program
The road to Atlanta is paved with ... cooperation, enthusiasm, and commitment. As the old year, century, and such prepared to turn, the advisory/steering committee of the World Congress & Exposition on Disabilities (WCD) met for the first time. WCD, set to take place November 10 to 12 at the Georgia International Convention Center in Atlanta, has a unique, multifaceted orientation: uniting personal, family, and professional concerns and information in one conference on disabilities. It promises to combine the educational aspects of an international professional conference, the advocacy and "how to" of a families forum, and the in-depth product and service information of a trade exhibition.
Working together
The 19-member advisory/steering committee--including physicians, parents, educators, association leaders, advocates, and government office representatives--reflects WCD's unified approach. Its goal is a three-track agenda compatible with the educational interests of individuals with disabilities, their families and caregivers, and both the educators and healthcare professionals who work with them.
During the day-long meeting to hammer out both approach and detail, physicians, opinion leaders, special education professionals, and caregivers worked hand-in-hand to create a uniquely powerful education event with topics relevant to each other, yet positioned to offer value to each group. Professionals in the room listened attentively to parents, advocates to policy makers, caregivers to practitioners. They not only agreed on the importance of others' points and perspectives, but also bought into their inclusion as critical agenda items.
Joe Valenzano--Conference Director and CEO, President and Publisher of Exceptional Parent magazine--delighted in the committee's first efforts. …

Comments about Hal Leonard Fretboard Roadmaps for Acoustic Guitar Book and CD:
Great for beginners, thru mid level players. Even more experienced players may be able to garner information from this combo. Sokolov starts you out assuming you know nothing about the instrument in chapter 1 and progresses from there, teaching you notes, which leads to scales and chordal patterns, which leads to strumming or picking patterns etc. all over the fretboard. each successive lesson builds on the last one. I am only 1 day into self teaching myself guitar using this book and have gleened a bunch of information. Other books tell you how to form chords, but don't go into WHY and HOW of chordal structure. Sokolovs approach is one of start with the basics and build giving you the "what", "How" and "Why" of each lesson. The book also includes a playalong cd so you can hear what the goal of each lesson is suppossed to sound like. If you want a book to teach you the complexities of the guitar in a fairly easy to understand way-this may be your answer. Yes you have to stop and think about some of what he is writting in order to understand it,where as with a local teacher you could simply stop them and ask them a question, but overall a great book. shame the "Fretboard Roadmaps DVD" does not exactly co inside with this book.

I've been reminded that Pope Francis is planning to visit the Shrine of Our Lady of Bonaria in September and of the special link with the naming of Buenos Aires. At the end of a general audience in May, Pope Francis announced:-
"I would like to visit the Sanctuary in Cagliari—almost surely in the month of September," he said, "because there is a brotherhood between the cities of Buenos Aires and Cagliari because of an ancient story. At the moment of the founding of the city of Buenos Aires its founder wanted to name it 'City of the Most Holy Trinity', but the sailors who had brought him there were Sardinian and they wanted it to be called 'City of the Madonna of Bonaria'. There was an argument and, in the end, they arrived at a compromise. Thus the city's name turned out rather long: 'City of the Most Holy Trinity and Port of Our Lady of Bonaria'. Since it was so long only the last [word] remained: Bonaria, Buenos Aires, in memory of your image of the Madonna of Bonaria." Vatican City, 15 May 2013 (VIS)
When Pope Francis makes his pilgrimage he will see some ex votos (a votive offering in a church or shrine in thanksgiving for a miracle received) hanging in the sacristy corridor and in the sacristy itself, including silver hearts, pictures and models of ships.
And when he reaches the sacristy, built in 1666, the Pope will see that the walls are covered with paintings that depict the remarkable arrival of the Madonna and the Saints of the Order of Our Lady of Mercy whose friars found and opened the wooden case containing the Madonna in 1370.
Pope Francis won't be the first pope to make a pilgrimage to the Shrine of Our Lady of Bonaria. St Pius X proclaimed the Madonna of Bonaria as the Highest Patron of Sardinia on September 13th 1907. Pope Paul VI made a pilgrimage to Bonaria in 1970, and then Pope John Paul II in 1985. And Pope Benedict XVI was present at the celebration of the first centenary of her proclamation as the highest Patron of Sardinia on 7th September, 2008.

NEW MARTINSVILLE - Magnolia High School will celebrate "Jim McCormick Night" Saturday at the home boys' basketball game between the Blue Eagles and Ravenswood.
McCormick, a resident of Lexington, Ky., will be an honored guest at the game and feted by the Blue Eagle athletic department and school, Magnolia boys' basketball coach Dave Tallman announced.
"Jim left his imprint on Magnolia and West Virginia University basketball and is a good ambassador for our school," Tallman said. "He is most deserving of this recognition."
The 1958 Magnolia graduate is arguably the most honored Blue Eagle basketball product.
A charter honoree for the Magnolia Boosters' Life Achievement Awards, he has been inducted into the Ohio Valley Athletic Conference and West Virginia U. Sports Halls of Fame. After starting four seasons-three varsity and one freshman, at WVU, he became the only Magnolia product drafted by an NBA team-in the sixth round by the old Cincinnati Royals.
He scored 1,156 career points, fifth best at the time at WVU behind four first team All-Americans-Jerry West, Rod Hundley, Mark Workman and his teammate, Rod Thorn.
At Magnolia, McCormick played only two varsity seasons but rewrote the school record book with 55 marks including season points (613) and game average (29.2), which lasted 45 seasons.
He scored a record 51 points in one game which has been tied but not broken after five decades. He averaged 22.1 points for his career.

"Greed is universal. But in China, it is especially dangerous because of the lack of regulations and enforcement," says Wang Fei-ling, an expert in Chinese policy at Georgia Institute of Technology. "That combination creates rampant corruption, which is the most serious problem China faces."
It's not hard to think of examples of the sort of thing Wang is talking about: In the past few years, lead-laced toys, toxic pet food, contaminated toothpaste, and other dangerous products have frightened and angered American consumers, creating an image of China as an entrepreneurial Wild West (or East), where reckless companies boost their profits by foisting poison on the world.
The latest example hits home for pharma. In February, Baxter was forced to recall millions of doses of the anticoagulant heparin—made in China—after nearly 800 people suffered severe allergic reactions and 19 died from taking it. As more facts emerged, the picture grew grimmer: The drug (a biologic manufactured from the intestines of pigs) came from a plant in Changzhou that had never been inspected by FDA. Contamination was discovered. And then, as this magazine went to press, the evidence suggested that a cheap copycat substance was intentionally cut into crude heparin.Greed may be universal and corruption rampant in China, but this act was a rare thing: a near-perfect crime, distinguished by its exquisite sophistication. Someone bought a common dietary supplement, then tweaked its molecular structure to resemble pure heparin so closely that only advanced techniques, such as nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, could detect it. The look-alike filler is even an anticoagulant—but one that can kill.
The question for the pharma is hair-raisingly obvious. If Chinese counterfeiters have achieved this level of scientific prowess, how is it possible to outsource the manufacturing of drug ingredients to China without incurring massive costs to safeguard the supply chain?
A Crisis of Trust—and Pigs
Last July, the former head of China's State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) was executed for taking $850,000 from national drug companies in exchange for approving fake and tainted products. More than 100 deaths were traced to drugs he licensed; the actual number is thought to be much higher—during his eight-year tenure, he approved 150,000 drugs.
"I was chief counsel at FDA and in talks with the Chinese government over the safety of food and drugs when that happened," says Sheldon Bradshaw, now a partner with Hunton & Williams. "The negotiations came on the heels of the melamine scandal, and the execution of the former head of the agency that I was talking with was certainly enlightening about how China does things."
The melamine—added to up the protein content of pet food—killed thousands of US dogs and cats last spring, and although it was only one of a rash of "Made in China" recalls, it sparked a special outrage in households nationwide.
The rawness of that memory may be one reason that the execution of the SFDA head fell short of reassuring US consumers. While 88 percent of Americans believe US-made prescription drugs are safe, only 14 percent say the same about drugs made in China, according to an American University survey last September.
While the pet food recall was going on, global health officials were growing alarmed about a mysterious epidemic laying waste to pigs throughout southeastern China, where SARS and bird flu were spawned. As in those health emergencies, the Chinese government for months maintained an information blackout. The epidemic, fueled by a virulent form of "blue ear" pig disease, has decimated China's pork industry, causing steep inflation and growing unrest.
It is also a likely indirect cause of the heparin scandal. According to Guy Villax, the CEO of Hovione, a Portuguese manufacturer of active pharmaceutical ingredients with a factory in Macao, China, the price of exported Chinese heparin more than doubled last summer, suggesting a shortage—most likely due to the pig epidemic. Yet, oddly, the volume jumped as well, a telltale sign of counterfeiting. "The shortages drove prices up, and that created an opportunity to make profits," Villax says. "So greed comes in."

DEA Recognizes Facsimile Technology
Fitzgerald, Walter F., Jr., Drug Topics
By reversing the policy prohibiting facsimile transmission of controlled-substance prescriptions, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has recognized the increased use of this technology. DEA reversed the previous policy through a combination of amending existing regulations and adding new regulations. The effective date of the new regulations is May 19, 1994, the date of publication in the Federal Register.
In recognition of DEA's expectation that registrants achieve "strict compliance" with its regulations, this column will review applicable state laws. Pharmacists may find that facsimile transmission of controlled-substance prescriptions is still prohibited by state law. They may also find in state law specific requirements on issues such as placing fax numbers on prescriptions and the type of facsimile paper used.
As expected, the regulation of facsimile prescriptions for Schedule II controlled substances is substantially more rigorous than that for Schedules III through V. While the regulations permit a pharmacy to receive a facsimile prescription for a Schedule II controlled substance, the original written Rx must be presented and verified against the facsimile prescription prior to dispensing. Additionally, the original prescription must be maintained as previously required. Following is the amended regulation, with new language emphasized in bold print.
"A pharmacist may dispense directly a controlled substance in Schedule II, which is a prescription drug as determined by the Federal Food, Drug, & Cosmetic Act, only pursuant to a written prescription signed by the practitioner.... A prescription for a Schedule II controlled substance may be transmitted by the practitioner's agent to a pharmacy via facsimile equipment, provided the original written, signed prescription is presented to the pharmacist for review prior to the actual dispensing of the controlled substance.... The original prescription shall be maintained...."
However, two exceptions to the requirement that the prescription be presented and verified prior to dispensing are included in the new regulations. The first exception is a prescription for home infusion/intravenous pain therapy.
"A prescription ... written for a Schedule II narcotic substance to be compounded for the direct administration to a patient by parenteral, intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous, or intraspinal infusion may be transmitted by the practitioner or the practitioner's agent to the home infusion pharmacy by facsimile. The facsimile serves as the original written prescription. …

We're normally all for involving kids in food prep, but we're going to ask that you go ahead and bar the kitchen door for this one.
Del Sroufe, the man behind "Forks Over Knives — The Cookbook," is going to get your kids to start their day with kale.
They just can't know it.
Sroufe, like the documentary his cookbook accompanies, touts the benefits of a whole-foods, plant-based diet. His mean green smoothie is a nutrient-rich, fiber-filled, antioxidant-packed dream. But Jamba Juice it ain't.
How do you turn your child's morning smoothie — a relatively healthy option — into a breakfast powerhouse? You sneak stuff in. Sroufe's recommendations, with tips for making them palatable:
If it's not the world's healthiest food, it's at the top of the list. Cancer-risk lowering, packed with 45 flavonoids and rich in calcium, magnesium and vitamins B6, A, C and K, kale is a wise addition to all of our diets. Worth breaking out the surreptitious moves, in other words.
"You really don't notice the taste," he swears. "The thing is, you see it."
So prepare it behind their backs and serve it in a stainless steel container with a tight-fitting lid and a colored straw. Oh, the actual prep: Remove the ribs of the raw leaves, chop it finely and toss it in the blender. (This works equally well with spinach.)
Almost all of Sroufe's smoothie recipes call for Medjool dates. (Medjool are the larger, sweeter variety.)
"They're a fiber-adding sweetener with a bunch of vitamins and minerals, versus sugar, which is just empty calories," he says.
Swap out your smoothie's sugary yogurts and juices for unsweetened almond milk and 1/2 cup of pitted, coarsely chopped dates or 2 tablespoons date syrup.
Chia seeds
These little guys are all the rage, celebrated for omega-3s, omega-6s, calcium, protein and 11 grams of fiber per ounce.
"You've got to grind them really well," Sroufe says. "With kids, especially, it's all about texture."
He recommends using a good-quality spice mill or, if you're flush with cash, a Vitamix.
Coconut water
Proponents push this stuff for its electrolytes, potassium and magnesium. It's also low in sugar, which makes it a good substitute for fruit juice.
Sroufe pairs it with other tropical flavors like pineapple and mango. One cup will provide plenty of liquid to juice up your smoothie.

American Idol Breakdown: Contestant In Tears
February 29, 2008 01:01 AM by Joe Reality
American Idol host Ryan Seacrest is always attempting to find clever new ways to tell American Idol contestants that their dreams have been crushed. Sometimes he takes the direct approach. Other times he makes one contestant think they are going home, only to switch suddenly and eliminate another contestant.
On the most recent American Idol results show, Seacrest pulled the old switch job on the youngest contestant still in the competition. As eighteen year old Kady Mallow and sixteen year old Alaina Whitaker waited on center stage, Seacrest announced, "Kady [long pause], you are safe." Both Kady and Alaina reacted in shock when they realized that Seacrest had said Kady was safe instead of going home, which meant Alaina had been eliminated.
After hugging Kady Malloy, Alaina Whitaker broke down into tears and sobbed, "I can't sing. Sorry, this is embarrassing." Even though Seacrest had delivered the crushing blow, he quickly changed his tune and rushed in to comfort the distraught contestant. Seacrest hugged Alaina, assuring her, "It's ok. It's alright." Seacrest continued, "I just want to talk about the reality of what you've done and what you've accomplished. From meeting you, you know across the country, we saw thousands and thousands of people, you made it to a very small group on this stage, and almost nobody gets to do that. You're singing with these girls, and every week somebody has to go on this show. No matter how good you are, somebody's got to go every single week until we get to the end."
After a round of applause from the audience and words of encouragement from Paula Abdul, Seacrest told Alaina, "You said that this is embarrassing, and this is not embarrassing at all. You should be very, very proud of yourself. Very proud, congratulations." Seacrest gave Alaina the choice of if she wanted to sing a final song or not. As Alaina shook her head and started to decline, the other American Idol girls voiced their support. With the other girls joining Alaina on stage, she managed to make it through a farewell performance of "Hopelessly Devoted To You."

well said a good post.
The truth is the Rossi haters are clutching at straws, they do try and hold his age against him alot, laughable at best, ok we all get to the point in our lives where we can not compete or do things as good or as quickly as we could when we were younger, but 34 is not old.
I recently read a interview with Furasawa who said he is very good friends with Valentino and meets up with him regulary, he said that one thing he found out when speaking to Rossi recently is that he knows to keep up with the young ones he must put more effort in to exercising and he needs to be as fit as them, he said he's in the best shape of his life and you know what I beleive it because Rossi is a thinker and he knows damn well that he needs to be in good shape in order to win.
Roll on the first race.

I'm officially middle aged!
I'm 40.
My friends have done me proud with their range of useful, delightful and just plain weird gifts. Being one of the last of my friends to reach this significant milestone of life means they get the chance to reap revenge for the various insults masquerading as gifts they've suffered over the years.
However, a sizeable contribution to a new heart rate monitor/GPS watch was part of the present. Which, trust me, I will be abusing over the coming months. I say abuse, as it's a waterproof triathlon watch, and all I'm going to be doing is running, walking and climbing, often for a long time, and in rain, dry weather, snow—actually, abuse is about right!
The ability to record my runs has a couple of benefits. Personally, I like being able to see what I've done and where. It also counters the naysayers who say that I'm not actually doing what I say (trust me, there are some weird people out there).
The data has another use as well, as there is something delightful about turning up to my annual cardiology appointment with print-outs of long runs and hard climbs, calibrated by speed and height gain. It's only heart rate information, but it does give a decent data source of me being active.
For my birthday, I also will get to spend a day brushing up my skills with machine guns, sniper rifles and in close quarters combat. Yup, a day spent at "spy academy"! OK, there may be an interesting discussion with the people running the course, as they have a dreaded medical clause—something about running around and doing a bit of jumping about.
My actual 40th I spent on the hills, doing a 15 mile walk in the Peak District. Normally the views on this walk are fantastic, but not this day, with the cloud base 100 meters lower than the hill. So it was a gloomy but exhilarating walk, during which I ended up helping a walker off the hill (they'd got lost, and were naturally quite scared), sank up to my knees in peat a couple of times and generally enjoyed myself...
Which I hope will be the themes for the rest of my 40th year. I never expected to get here, so part of my living of this year is going to be doing what I enjoy and loving the attempt, even if I don't finish all of what I'm trying to do.
I've nicknamed this year my midlife crisis and have asked people for challenges; so far, it's a marathon (with mountains in the way), a normal "flat" marathon, an ultramarathon (only a 50 kilometer, but that'll do to start), losing 14 pounds, and for the first month of my 40th year to do 40 kilometers a week. So far so good—as I write this I'm three weeks in and 123 kilometers done. For those who don't "do" kilometers, I'm pretty much fitting a marathon distance of 26 miles of walking and/or running in my weekly life. It's not easy when you're away doing charity stuff three weekends, and your birthday party is the spare one!
So what have 40 years taught me? To walk tall, to run slow, to care deeply, to do what I think is right (even if it costs me) and most especially to remember that I am me, not what anyone else wants me to be!
Being middle aged is going to be just the same as the last 40 years, and I think I'm as relieved as some people are going to be worried. Oh well—that's their problem!

Montreal DJ/producer Poirier has long paired thick bass with big bounce. In the early 2000s, while still recording under his full name of Ghislain Poirier, he released ambient and experimental electronics. In 2007, Poirier wowed with the thick electronic dub and dancehall of No Ground Under, on Ninja Tune, followed by 2010's Juno-nominated, genre-smashing Running High.
Poirier has continued to run the dance while upping his tempos. Most recently, he's soaked up the influence of soca to give us releases such as the Soca Road EP and a quickstep remix of dancehall superstar Popcaan's "Get Gyal Easy." Both titles are newly out on Dre Skull's Mixpak imprint.
"The energy from groovy soca to power soca is incredible," says Poirier. "As a producer, I like to bring that soca energy into my own riddims and tracks, but obviously it sounds more electronic than what's coming from Trinidad and Tobago."
His affection for Caribbean sounds has also been apparent in Poirier's DJ sets, from his early Bounce Le Gros monthly parties through to the larger event series dubbed Karnival.
"Karnival is all about happy and intense music," Poirier explains. "It focuses a lot on the interaction between Caribbean music and electronic music, but I also play all kind of stuff that goes into that vibe, like Kuduro and other tropical madness. The crowd is eager to listen and dance to new stuff. Sometimes I get the best reaction of the night on a brand new track, and that's just gold to have a crowd like that."
It's an audience that's welcomed a wide array of Karnival guests – including Buraka Som Sistema's J-Wow, U.K. dubstep pioneer Kode9, German tech-dub duo Schlachthofbronx and low-end-loving abstract New Yorker DJ/rupture – with open arms. That's little wonder as Poirier's own thoughtfully crafted DJ mixes – like his recent "Dubs For Ninjas", this chilled bass blend for Channel One and a soca-soaked Mixpak special – run a wide range of tempos and musical vibes.
Poirier's current projects include running Also Records, a digital label devoted to multifarious sounds, recording with vocalist Natalie Storm for a forthcoming EP and directing a remix project for an as-yet-unnamed Québécois singer.
He's also proud to have produced a full half of vocalist Face-T's debut album, Tuff Like Stone.
"It's the first time I'm so involved in an album not from me and it's something I've wanted to do for a long time," says Poirier. "Producing for another artist is very exciting, especially when you create more than one track, because you can go deeper and more specific in a way. My goal is to make the artist shine the best way possible, while also exploring styles that I might touch on my personal releases. Ultimately, I'd like to produce and curate a full album for a vocalist."
Watch Face-t's video for "Jumbo"
Kickass article all around, Denise, I learned a lot about Poirier's activity since his Juno nom. Thanks! Some awesome production on Jumbo too, eh? Here's hoping Face-t creates an R3 Artist Page soon.

From the time the first lighthouse was lit at Alexandria, Egypt in 300 B.C.,
lighthouses have been an integral part of maritime navigation. These beacons
are an aid to navigation on oceans and lakes, keeping ship captains on
course and away from danger.
The new Cornerstone Series® Gold Ribbon SeriesTM
Rocky Point Lighthouse,
933-3603 $49.98, is the first easy-to-build plastic North American
lighthouse kit in HO scale. Based on a typical lighthouse with attached
keeper's quarters, this new model makes a valuable addition to any
waterfront model railroad scene.
Rocky Point Lighthouse, like all Cornerstone Series® Gold Ribbon SeriesTM
kits, features finely detailed, snap-together main components molded in
realistic colors. Fewer pieces mean quick assembly with minimal gluing and a
detailed, finished look with no painting required. Interior lighting effects
include a flashing light for the tower and a fixed light inside the keeper's
quarters. The finished model measures: 3 x 8-1/8 x 8-7/8".
Whether standing vigil at the entrance to the harbor, perched high on
shoreline cliffs or at the point of a breakwater, this new structure is sure
to add interest to any steam- or diesel-era HO layout. Modelers can also use
it to imply a body of water by placing it on the edge of a cliff towards the
backdrop. The "water" would be below the cliff extending into the backdrop
in an area not visible from the front of the layout. Maritime modelers will
also find it a good focal point for dioramas.
The Cornerstone Series® Gold Ribbon SeriesTM Rocky Point Lighthouse is
available only from Walthers dealers. To locate a dealer, use our dealer
locator at www.walthers.com. Contact Walthers at 414-527-0770 or write

Killing the Shadows by Val McDermid
Reader Reviews
A gripping thriller, August 3, 2003 Reviewer: pompfis_hoppi from Near Hannover, Germany Dr. Fiona Cameron ( aka "Candid Cameron") is drawn into the middle of a nightmare that also threatens her lover Kit Matrin, although at first she refuses to believe that Kit might be in danger too. Working on several cases at the same time, more and more she gets drawn into the undertow of events. Candid Cameron has a few character traits that remind me of Dr. Kay Scarpetta, Patricia Cornwell Daniels' heroine. I assume that is one of the reasons why I liked the book so much.Let me assure you that you will not be able to put the book down until you have found out about the end of the story.It is worth every single cent!

First swine flue death reported in Tulare County
A highly infectious, yet rare strain of the flu is sweeping through the country and has claimed its first victim in Tulare County.
On Jan. 16, the Tulare County Department of Public Health confirmed that a Tulare County woman died from an H1N1 influenza-related infection.
"It is with great regret that I am informing the community of this death from influenza," stated Dr. Karen Haught, Tulare County Health Officer. "Unfortunately, we are reminded that the effects from this illness can be very serious."
H1N1 influenza A, commonly known as "swine flu," is a pandemic influenza strain first reported in April 2009. According to the Center for Disease Control, the swine flu gets its name because the strain showed various similarities to the influenza strain afflicting pigs. Between 5 and 20% of the population gets the flu with about 200,000 people being hospitalized each year, according to the Center for Disease Control. The number of flu-associated deaths in the United States is about from 36,000 people each year.
There are much fewer cases of people in the U.S. dying from the H1N1 virus because it's much rarer than the seasonal flu. In fact, its rarity is what makes the disease so deadly. Because most people have not been exposed to the H1N1 virus it spreads much faster than the seasonal flu. The CDC also reports people under the age of 25 are more likely to be affected by the strain than the common flu. But even though it is a rare strain of the flu, that doesn't make it easier to identify. Symptoms of H1N1 are nearly identical to the seasonal flu.
The woman had not been vaccinated for this flu season, as each season has a different vaccination for the strains estimated to be the most prevalent. While her age was not released, the woman was younger than 65 years old because flu deaths are not tracked or reported for people 65 and over. It is especially important for high-risk groups to be vaccinated. These groups include:
-Any person with a chronic medical condition that requires frequent medical attention (Examples include asthma, diabetes, chronic lung disease, and chronic liver disease; there are many others)
-Pregnant women
-Any person who will have contact with an infant less than 6 months of age or with someone who has a chronic disease during the influenza season
-Children under the age of five
Tulare County residents are urged to get flu vaccinations, as the H1N1 strain—the pandemic influenza strain—has been detected and is covered by the vaccination. Vaccination is the best protection against the flu and helps prevent the spread of the flu virus from person to person.
Vaccination is recommended for everyone over the age of six months, and the vaccination is available at physicians' offices and local clinics, at many local pharmacies, or through the Health & Human Services Agency (HHSA) immunization program. HHSA immunization program staff can be reached at 685-5725. At this time, the vaccine is widely available in the community. Additional information can be found at www.flu.gov.
Good preventive health habits include:
-Stay home if you are ill
-Wash your hands with soap and hot water
-Cover your coughs and sneezes
-Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth
The Tulare County woman was the ninth Valley resident to die from the H1N1 virus this year, including three in Merced County, one in Fresno County and three in Kings County. The virus spread quickly in the Fresno County Jail affecting at least four inmates. On Jan. 13, a 61-year-old inmate died while being treated for the flu at Community Regional Medical Center. The spread of the disease and the ensuing isolation of those with flu-like symptoms, prompted the Tulare County Sheriff's Department to take precautionary measures.
On Jan. 17, Sheriff Mike Boudreaux temporarily suspended visiting to all of the Tulare County Jails. In a released statement, Boudreaux said the action will help minimize the possible exposure of the flu virus to the inmate population, their families, jail staff, volunteers and the public.
Detention staff are communicating with the inmate population in regards to how this is a proactive, protective measure for the inmate population, their families, jail staff, volunteers and the public. The Sheriff's Department is working with the inmates to help provide communication to their family members to prevent them from unnecessary trips to the facilities and to make sure their families have a point of contact to verify whether or not visiting has resumed. The Department has set up phone numbers that will provide a voice message regarding the status of visiting at the detention facilities. For English call 559-636-4652 and for Spanish call 559-735-1845.
Currently there are approximately 1650 inmates housed in Tulare County Jails. This does not include the number of inmates that are currently participating in the Sheriff's Work Alternative Program, Day Reporting Center and Weekender Program. These programs will continue to operate as usual, with a daily screening regarding health issues before they are allowed to continue their work program. The Sheriff's Department will update its news feed as more information is available. Visit our web page at www.tularesheriff.info/news.php
For the expanded monthly flu clinic schedule, please check www.tchhsa.org under the "Spotlight" section and the TulareCountyHHSA Facebook social media page. Residents with questions should contact their health care provider.

@Proceedings {export:154547, abstract = {
Online social networking tools are used around the world by people to ask questions of their friends, because friends pro-vide direct, reliable, contextualized, and interactive respons-es. However, although the tools used in different cultures for question asking are often very similar, the way they are used can be very different, reflecting unique inherent cultur-al characteristics. We present the results of a survey de-signed to elicit cultural differences in people's social ques-tion asking behaviors across the United States, the United Kingdom, China, and India. The survey received responses from 933 people distributed across the four countries who held similar job roles and were employed by a single organ-ization.

The FDA has approved the Edwards SAPIEN Transcatheter Heart Valve only for those patients with severe aortic stenosis who have been determined by a cardiac surgeon to be ineligible due to age or other medical conditions for traditional open-heart aortic valve replacement.
This minimally invasive alternative involves delivering a collapsible artificial valve into the heart using a catheter inserted through a small incision in an artery of the leg or in the chest. The artificial valve is expanded inside the diseased valve by inflating a balloon and almost immediately goes to work.
It is estimated that 300,000 U.S. patients suffer from valve deterioration each year and approximately 50,000 people undergo the conventional open-heart surgery. TVAR is proving to be a viable way to make valve replacement feasible for a broader range of patients.

Versatile actor Paresh Rawal feels film stars have lost their charm owing to extensive marketing and promotions.
"The stars have lost their magic in Bollywood. If I call myself a star, then no need to go door to door and ask the audience to come and watch me in theatres. There is no need for that. Does Rajinikant do that? Does any Southern star do that? Only we do that," Paresh told IANS.
"We have blown this marketing thing out of proportion as, if we don't do this, then we are going to die. Do aggressive marketing through TV and media. What is the need to go to Nagpur and wave your hands. People come because they like you. This is a very childish way of looking at marketing," he added.
Paresh has witnessed the film industry very closely in his two decades long career, and says now the stars in Bollywood want to play characters and don't want to sacrifice it for the sake of stardom.
"Star system will always be there, every film will need a star. Even if there is no star, you want to make somebody a star. Now fortunately, all the stars like Aamir Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, they have started playing characters," said the 62-year-old.
"Now the change that I see is, all of them want to play the character. They don't want to sacrifice the character for the sake of stardom and this is a very positive sign," he added.
Paresh recently turned producer with Akshay Kumar-starrer "Oh My God", which not only won critical appreciation, but also raked in moolah at the box-office.
But the actor says he doesn't associate himself with figures.
"I don't associate myself with any kind of figures. Rs.100 crore, Rs. 200 crore – they are just mere numbers. I feel the best film will stay with you. Few films will stay with me for ages like '3 Idiots', 'Kahaani', 'Vicky Donor', 'Oh My God'," said the actor.
"These are the health cinema which will entertain you with a message. It is good entertainment. Films like 'Teesri Manzil', 'Johnny Mera Naam' were also good entertainment," he added.
The actor, who has pulled off all his roles to the best of his ability, feels his best is yet to come.
"I would still say my best is yet to come because there are new writers, new directors, new ideas coming. The work culture has changed because of the multiplexes and all that. All the small films like 'Vicky Donor', 'Kahaani', 'Oh My God' among others have got an audience who are ready to watch these kind of films," he said.
"At this point of time, I would enjoy working more and I feel my best is yet to come," he added. – IANS

DAILY NEWS: A Look at the Huge Toronto Film Festival (Again); And the Buzzin' Tidbits From Toronto and Elsewhere
by Eugene Hernandez and Wendy Mitchell/indieWIRE
>> Ears to the Ground and Eyes on the Screen in Toronto; For a Few Films, the Buzz is Already Deafening
(indieWIRE: 09.06.02) -- It goes without saying (and yet we say it every
year), there are an intimidating number of movies that screen at the annual
Toronto International Film Festival. Checking in at the Festival's new Four
Seasons press office results in an immediate flood of information about
countless tantalizing new films. Pouring over the festival catalogue, which
is the size of a phone book, only adds to the stress.
Upon further consideration, though, one's racing heart slows a bit as the
festival comes into focus. Attendees just in from Venice or Telluride help
to narrow the choices a bit, and this year pre-fest screenings in New York
gave many journalists a leg up. The showings also created all-important buzz
on a number of films for the Festival, which opened last night here in
Todd Haynes' "Far From Heaven," a gala presentation set to unspool on Sunday night, arrives in Toronto after solid word-of-mouth from Venice. Attendees
at New York City screenings of the movie last month have already hailed the
film as Haynes' best. Indeed, it's a knockout film, with a stellar
performance by Julianne Moore and technical achievements that cannot be
overlooked. In town to toast the film, fresh from signing new one-year deal
with Warner Bros., is the Killer Films team. The indie company will join
forces with financier John Wells to celebrate tomorrow night, at what
promises to be a must-attend party in Yorkville.
Less glamorous, but equally powerful, is a moving new documentary by Steve
James ("Hoop Dreams") that will no doubt have audiences talking. Entitled
simply "Stevie," the personal project finds the filmmaker sucked back into
the life of the title character. James, who once served as Stevie's Big
Brother, decides to catch up with the grown-up Stevie and capture it on
camera. As the story of Stevie's impoverished, trailer-park life is
revealed, the filmmaker and the audience get more than they bargained for.
Stevie is arrested for a horrifying crime and James quickly becomes a part
of the story, while at the same time documenting his experience. The
resulting film should spark debates about social issues as well as the role
the filmmaker plays in shaping this evolving drama.
"There's a lot of wisdom in the people in this film, a lot of wisdom in a
lot of everyday people," James explained in a conversation with indieWIRE
earlier this week. "This is not a Robert Evans kind of extraordinary life."
Indeed it captures an array of people from Stevie's life. Individuals who
would be reduced to one-note caricatures by Jerry Springer are revealed
as people whose true nature seems at odds with our own pre-conceived
notions. How we should then apply this logic when judging the title
character is the most vexing aspect of the film and will lead to
charges that James, in creating a portrait of someone he cares so much
about, is forgiving the person's unforgivable actions.
"There were times when I was very tortured," director James told indieWIRE,
in advance of his trip to Canada to unveil the new doc. "I was fairly
tortured throughout (the making of this film)."
Sellers Cinetic Media will be eyeing audience reactions when the picture is
unveiled on Sunday morning in Toronto, convinced that moviegoers' feelings
about the picture will drive distributor interest.
"This is a difficult film. We are hopping that a distributor will be
interested in the film, we would like to see if get out there," James told
indieWIRE, adding that no matter what he and partners Kartemquin are solidly
behind the project. "We are not just pinning our hopes on distribution, we
are taking it on, we believe it has something to say."
One film that has already provoked controversy is Larry Clark and Ed
Lachman's "Ken Park," a picture that indieWIRE did not screen in advance of
the festival. Written by Harmony Korine ("Gummo," "Kids"), the film is making waves at the Venice Film Festival for its explicit sex scenes between
adults and teenagers. Festival audiences here will be able to judge for
themselves on Tuesday. Following Wednesday's industry screening, buzz will
no doubt include speculation over whether buyers will pursue a film assured
of an NC-17 rating.
And not to be forgotten in the controversy category is "El Crimen del Padre
Amaro," the hit Mexican film that has been condemned by that country's
Catholic church for its depiction of a priest's scandalous fall from grace.
Played by sensation Gael Garcia-Bernal ("Y Tu Mama Tambien," "Amores Perros") in a mature starring role, the priest's relationship with a
teenaged villager will no doubt also raise an eyebrow stateside when Samuel
Goldwyn/IDP release the film this fall. As for the Festival in Toronto,
organizers are offering the movie as counter-programming for churchgoers; It
is screening Sunday morning at 11 a.m. [Eugene Hernandez in Toronto]
>> Echo Lake Launches World Visions Label
(indieWIRE: 09.06.02) -- Echo Lake Productions, the production and financing
company headed by Doug Mankoff, has announced plans for a new initiative
aimed at giving international filmmakers the opportunity to direct
English-language pictures. Filmmakers CheeK from Singapore and Santosh Sivan from India have closed deals with the company to write and direct the first
projects in the slate, dubbed "World Visions." Fatih Akin from Germany is in development on a project as well.
Company EVP Andrew Spaulding is here at the Toronto International Film
Festival to hype the initiative to financiers and distributors. The company
intends to secure at least $2 to $3 million in financing from its own equity
fund and other sources.
CheeK, in Toronto last year with his first film, "Chicken Rice War," won the
Festival's Discovery Award, while Santosh Sivan was in Toronto in 1998 with
"The Terrorist." The film also screened at Sundance and received an
Independent Spirit Award nomination. Sivan also directed last year's
"Asoka." Fatih Atkin has just finished his third feature, "Solino" starring
Moritz Bleibtreu ("Run Lola Run," "Das Experiment").
Among other projects, Echo Lake recently financed Ed Solomon's "Levity" (set for release by Sony Pictures Classics) and Jill Sprecher's "Thirteen
Conversations About One Thing," it also financed and produced Allison
Anders' "Things Behind the Sun" and David Riker's "La Ciudad." [Eugene Hernandez in Toronto]
>> indieWIRE: BUZZ for Friday, September 6
With summer officially over, indieWIRE's weekly BUZZ column now moves to its
regular slot on Fridays.
LYONS GATE: Variety reporter Charles Lyons will be doing more than writing
about this year's Toronto festival, he'll also be screening his short, "The
Ghost of F. Scott Fitzgerald," in the contemporary world cinema section. The
12-minute, 35mm work screens on Monday. "It will be tricky to cover the film
festival and also be a filmmaker," Lyons tells indieWIRE. "Fortunately, we
don't write about short films otherwise I would be forced to say something
nice about myself." For a more unbiased opinion, we turned to the fest's
website, where Toronto director Piers Handling writes: "Charles Lyons's
short film, 'The Ghost of F. Scott Fitzgerald,' is another tale of love
rivaling the power of death. James is crazy about Bess, but Bess is obsessed
with 'Scotti' -- her pet name for the long-deceased author. Years go by and
James gives up on Bess, until an afterthought makes him wonder if they
weren't meant for each other after all."
LEARNING TO FLY: Eric Bogosian was seen (and heard) causing a ruckus on
his way to the Toronto International Film Festival, where he appears in
opening night film "Ararat." Bogosian evidently was selected for a random
bag search at the airport, and reached for one of his bags before the
guard was done with it. The guard yelled at him not to touch the bag and
then our spy reports that Bogosian started yelling about his rights, and
when a larger group of guards came over to tell him not to yell, he said
it was freedom of speech. Our source at the airport, also a film vet
heading to Toronto, likened it to one of Bogosian's infamous ranting
FATLIP AND MORE: RESFEST has picked 60 shorts to showcase on this year's
tour, which hits San Francisco later this month before moving to New York
and Los Angeles. The shorts, divided into seven themed programs, were
selected from more than 1500 entries. Potential highlights include Spike
Jonze's "What's Up, Fatlip?, " Mike Mills' "Hair, Shoes, Love and Honesty," Robert Bradbrook's "Home Road Movies," and Johnny Hardstaff's design-oriented short for Radiohead.
NEW ROUNDTABLES: The Reel Roundtable has programmed the fall season of its new film series in New York, "The Film Medley." The weekly series will be
held at technogeek-friendly nightspot Remote Lounge; it kicks off September
30 with a Gen Art evening. The October 7 program will present Gill Holland of CineBLAST! on "networking," October 14 will feature Jen Hollander and her new screenplay, October 21 will feature Magnolia Pictures' Eamonn Bowles with a sneak preview of and discussion about "Interview with the Assassin," and October 28 will be a program devoted to spooky shorts. In November,
speakers will include Barney Olfield, Cynthia Kane, Shane Smith, and November 25 will bring the New York premiere of "La Moitie gauche du frigo," hosted by the Montreal Film Festival. For more information, visit
NORDIC NIGHTS: New York's Scandinavia House has announced its fall series,
Directors from the Edge, featuring several U.S. and World premieres from
influential Scandinavian directors. The series, which runs through
mid-December, includes a Jorgen Leth retrospective, and Leth will be on hand
to discuss his work. Mika Kaurismaki and other filmmakers will also be in
New York for select screenings. For details, visit www.scandinaviahouse.org.
SPIKE GETTING SOFT? Spike Lee isn't trying to push any buttons with his
latest project, a children's book that he wrote with producer/wife Tonya
Lewis Lee. "Please, Baby, Please" (Simon & Schuster), due on shelves in
November, is dedicated to the couple's two children, Satchel and Jackson,
and features illustrations by Kadir Nelson. The message behind the book is
to reinforce the importance of using affirmative language with toddlers.
indieWIRE pulled some strings to get an advance peek at the tome, and found
such memorable lines as, "Don't eat the sand, baby baby baby, please."
"Anything with wedding in the title seems to sell: 'Wedding Singer,' 'My
Best Friend's Wedding,' 'Monsoon Wedding.' The titles make it clear that
these pictures are about a party -- and that's what people want to see right
now." -- art-house theater booker Roger Paulson, as quoted in the Wall
Street Journal's article about "My Big Fat Greek Wedding."
It'll be an action packed week for indieWIRE next week, with full coverage
of the Toronto International Film Festival, including film reviews,
features, and breaking news. Plus, stories about how the indie film
community is remembering September 11, Howard Feinstein's full report from
Venice (including a "Far From Heaven" review), Joe Leydon's industry insider column, and Erica Abeel's interview with "Alias Betty" director Claude Miller. [Wendy Mitchell]

Hello from Tampa Bay, FL
Hey guys, I just started recently, both as in the forums and in the exciting field of Security work.
After a long 'wonderful' career in retail (both pre and post college, 8 years) and being in my mid 20's with a wife and child, I was given a chance to take up a career in security work. I signed up with a big contract company that has treated me well so far, complete with training and the state's security license. I want to expand my skills to Computer/Network Security, maybe even Computer Forensics and/or Law Enforcement, later down the line.
But for right now, I want to see how far I can achieve with what I have right now.

During a press conference Thursday, Rep.Trent Franks (R-Ariz.) characterized the the Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act (PRENDA) as a bill necessary to prevent "the ultimate violence against women," a nod to the recent passage of the Violence Against Women Act in the House.
The bill would criminalize abortions motivated by the gender of the child, particularly if the fetus is a female. Referring to the abortions as, "sex selection" and "gendercide," PRENDA aims to protect unborn females who would be aborted based on their gender.
PRENDA would hold a doctor criminally liable for knowingly performing or abetting an abortion on a woman whose reasoning for the abortion is based on the sex of the child. Doctors that willingly aid or carry out abortions aware of woman's intent to end a pregnancy due to the basis of the fetus' sex could receive up to five years in prison and fines. Doctors could also be forced to pay civil remedies to women on whom sex-selection abortions were administered.
Franks drew parallels between sex-selection abortion in the United States and the forced abortions in China and India. Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.), who was one of several Republicans at Thursday's briefing, called sex-selection abortion on females, "the real war on women," a reaction to women's groups and Democrats' accusations that Republicans have declared a "war on women." Smith also deemed sex-selection abortion as "population control."
A recent undercover video taken at Planned Parenthood by the anti-abortion group Live Action also sparked outrage. In the video an actress speaks to a social worker explaining that she has taken an over the counter gender test and that her fetus is going to be a female. The social worker explains that, "at Planned Parenthood we believe that it is not up to us to decide what is a good or bad reason for somebody to decide to terminate a pregnancy." Planned Parenthood responded to the footage by stating that their policy is to provide, "nonjudgmental care to all" who come to their clinics looking for abortion services. Lila Rose, a spokeswoman for Live Action, spoke at the press conference in support of PRENDA as well.
The PRENDA vote will take place Thursday afternoon.

Fordlandia: The Rise and Fall of Henry Ford's Forgotten Jungle City (Metropolitan Books), by New York University History Professor Greg Grandin, has been named a National Book Award Finalist in the nonfiction category.
Grandin's work, which comes at a time when Detroit's status as a hub of the automobile industry is in grave doubt, chronicles a little-known Henry Ford endeavor aimed at creating a more perfect American company town in the Brazilian Amazon-and, with it, a Midwestern America of the automaker's imagination. The work recounts Ford's attempt to turn a tract of land twice the size of Delaware into a rubber plantation. But the venture was more than that. Drawing parallels with English Puritans seeking to complete the Protestant reformation by coming to the New World, Grandin writes that "what made Fordlandia more quintessentially American was the way frustrated idealism was built into its conception."
Fordlandia, Grandin concludes, was Henry Ford's worldview put into practice. The author cites the observations of journalist Walter Lippmann to make his case.
"Lippmann identified in Henry Ford, for all his peculiarity, a common strain of 'primitive Americanism,' " Grandin writes. "For Lippmann, Ford represented the essence of Americanism not just because he embodied a confidence born of money but also because he reflected 'our touching belief that the world is like ourselves.' 'Why shouldn't success in Detroit,' Lippmann asked, 'assure success in front of Baghdad?' "
This year's winners will be announced at the 60th National Book Awards Benefit Dinner and Ceremony at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City on November 18. For more on the National Book Awards, including all of this year's finalists, go here.

A new website launched for a company staffed by former Infinity Ward employees who plan on making games for virtual reality devices such as Oculus, mobile devices, and current-generation consoles. The company is called Reload Studios, and according to the site, it is staffed by former Call of Duty artists, producers, and developers.
Reload's plan is to "make games for upcoming virtual reality and existing platforms." The studio was founded by James Chung and Taehoon Oh. Oh is a former lead artist from Infinity Ward. The company says that it has 12 employees at the moment.
What the company's first game will be is unknown at this time, but given its collective resume one would imagine something involving guns and shooting things.

Tulane University Law School will mark Constitution Day on Tuesday (Sept. 17) with a panel discussion exploring the U.S. Supreme Court's recent rulings on marriage equality.
Titled "Marriage Equality After Windsor: Where Are They Now?" the event will take place at 11:30 a.m. at Tulane Law School, Weinmann Hall, Appellate Moot Court Room 110, 6329 Freret St. It is free and open to the public.
The panel will feature Tulane Law School professors Catherine Hancock, Robert Westley and Saru Matambanadzo, with Vice Dean Ronald Scalise serving as moderator.
Constitution Day, also called Citizenship Day, commemorates the formation and signing of the U.S. Constitution on Sept. 17, 1787.
In U.S. v. Windsor, the Supreme Court ruled that the federal Defense of Marriage Act was unconstitutional because it denied equal protection of the laws to same-sex couples legally married in the states where they live. While the ruling extended numerous federal protections to gay couples, the court did not say states have to recognize same-sex marriages.
That has led to various conflicts that must be resolved. For instance, the Louisiana National Guard recently said it wouldn't follow a Pentagon policy requiring the military to honor spousal benefits for same-sex couples because the state Constitution bars gay marriage.
Hancock teaches First Amendment, Constitutional Criminal Procedure, Criminal Law and Law & Gender, and her scholarly work on constitutional issues includes areas such as privacy and hate speech.
Westley teaches Constitutional Law and is well-versed on the 14th Amendment and the rights of groups.
Matambanadzo, an associate professor of law, is the author of the newest edition of "West's Sex Discrimination in a Nutshell" (forthcoming 2014) and teaches Gender, Law & Public Policy as well as Law & Sexuality.
Scalise specializes in civil and comparative law.

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
Couresty or not, There are other items, such as gas and electric in this park, added to the statement with the lot rent on it that I think I am entitled to have specific knowledge of because I use it. The lot rent is a given because you know what that amount is going to be from month to month, but the other items are different each month. I suppose PG&E and the telephone companies no longer need to provide you with a bill either. When I call park management, they can tell me whatever amount this wish to, no matter what the real bill is for the gas and electric. I have a problem with that strategy.
On the statement
gas is listed first
.....gas provides details of tells you how much you used and it varies depending on the season winter is usually more than in summer.
electric is listed next
.....electric provides details of how much you used and it varies too, but not as much as the gas does.
and the lot rent is listed last and that currently is 408.99 until October, when it goes up to 421.26.
I am trying to do what I can to protect myself by making copies of the checks before I place it in the park management office mailbox, but I feel that is insufficient. How do I prove what I owe, if anything, at any given time without a statement? I was using the statements to see if there was any way I could cut down on the gas and electric and I was very pleased with the results and now I have nothing to go by.
I think I will seek legal counsel on my own. Thank you!

Eugene, Ore. - The offensive energy of seniors Sarah Bach and Megan Burker powered the Cardinal to its second-straight MPSF Championship this afternoon, defeating the Denver Pioneers 12-6 at Pape Field in Eugene, Ore. In the highly anticipated championship match-up, the seniors combined for eight goals and ten points to lead Stanford to its largest conference title victory since 2002. The Cardinal, riding a seven-game win streak, improves to 12-5 while the Pioneer squad ends its best season in history at 15-5.
The first half looked familiar to yesterday's semifinal for Stanford, as the teams traded four rounds of goals before Stanford broke open a two-goal halftime lead. Denver's Kristie Leggio started off the scoring with a free position goal just under five minutes in, but Bach answered with a successful free position of her own. The Pioneers managed three more goals to open the half, but Bach had an answer each time. The senior, who needed just one goal to meet the 100 career goal mark, scored four times in the first half, and cruised past the marker within seven minutes of the opening draw.
Sophomore Megan McClain finally broke the trading pattern with just under two minutes to play in the first half. The midfielder broke through the Denver defense and sent a hard shot past goalkeeper Becky Childs to give Stanford its first lead. With 11 seconds left, Burker knocked in a free position shot to give Stanford a 6-4 halftime lead.
In the second half, Burker picked up where fellow senior Bach left off and recorded three more goals for the Cardinal. Denver threatened early in the period, pulling within one goal on a tally by Karen Morton and later by Leggio. With just under eight minutes to play, however, the Cardinal started a rally that would secure their second-straight championship. Burker scored with 7:53 left to play and won the ensuing draw. The attacker passed the ball off to junior Liz Piselli, who made a long run down field and scored within 23 seconds of Burker's goal.
Denver called a timeout to try to break the Stanford momentum, but Burker and the Cardinal offense were far from finished. In the final five minutes of the match, Burker netted another free position shot and found teammates Daphne Patterson and Michelle DeChant in front of the goal to give the Cardinal a solid lead and seal the win.
Burker and Bach scored four apiece to lead the Cardinal. Patterson, Piselli, McClain and DeChant were credited with the other four. Kristie Leggio recorded four goals to the lead the Pioneers.
Stanford out-shot Denver 25-21 and won 12-of-19 draw controls. Goalkeeper Laura Shane recorded seven saves and three ground balls. Junior Bri Ned, along with Bach and Patterson were named to the All-Tournament Team. Burker was named the tournament's MVP.
Stanford, currently ranked No. 16 in the nation, will await the announcement of the 16-team NCAA Tournament field tomorrow. The bracket will be announced live on CSTV at 5 p.m. (PST).
