In a California memorabilia shop in 2010, collector Randy Guijarro bought this 4-by-5-inch tintype for just $2. After enlarging the image, he saw what looked to be a familiar figure—Billy the Kid—playing croquet with his gang known as The Regulators. Guijarro also thought he recognized the Kid's best friends Tom O'Folliard and Charlie Bowdre in the photo. As the gravity of the discovery began to set in, Guijarro initiated a chain of events that would lead him on a painstaking journey to verify the photograph's authenticity.
This series opens the doors to the only family-run pawnshop in Las Vegas, where three generations of the Harrison family use their sharp-eyed skills to assess what's real and what's fake. Objects the colorful customers bring in range from the obscure to the truly historic, and it's up to the guys at the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop — with help at times from their network of experts — to reveal the sometimes surprising answer to "What's this worth?"
Despite having never experienced the Friday night-lights of the lower 48, the Barrow High School football team lives for football. Last year they were 3-6 overall, and third in their conference, which spans the distance of the entire state and consists of only six teams. Ten years ago the school administered a survey to students, asking what activities they wanted to have available to them; the answer was unanimously football.

Oh, how did I not write anything on this series? It's only my favorite.
The first season of Higurashi was an extremely jumbled mess. I'll admit it was an interesting jumbled mess but the direction was quite off and the pacing was really erratic. Then again, that season had 6 chapters in it. So basically there was already part of Kai in the first season. As the mood of the story changes greatly from the first to second half, it just didn't really fit. And of course the art was terrible.
Despite all of this, the shock value and confusion was used pretty effectively. It managed to create a story that kept me watching. The complexity of the story left a lot of interesting details and plot threads to explore. And of course, the characters themselves played a huge role; you'd just really feel sorry for what's going on. Because you realize they are all genuinely good people that are being hurt from forces out of their control. So by the end of the series, I was rooting for them to get out of this mess. The impact of the turning point in first season's episode 25 was huge. It marked the ending of despair and a slim glimmer of hope that would start the long uphill battle for victory.That battle would not be without tons of more pain and sacrifice.
So even with the crappy direction, the story was simply too strong to mess up. I would give s1 a 8/10
Kai often gets a lot of flak for not being as suspenseful or as shocking as the first season. Indeed, it must have been misleading. Higurashi, by and far, was not a gore and violence show no matter how you slice it. In fact, even in season one, there aren't really that many extremely graphic scenes. Yes, they are shocking and effective but that's the point. Excessive use of violent scenes would make it less significant. People who expected that kind of shock value from Kai were basically looking for the wrong show. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with wanting that kind of thing, but sometimes you simply can't expect a show to be what it isn't. Personally, if Kai were to duplicate the same thing as the first, I would have found that boring and formulaic as with many other shows that just repeat more of the same.
With that out of the way, Kai is far superior to Ni in terms of storytelling. No longer are we relying on strange gimmicks to confuse us or "oh shit" moments, but we are here to view the crew's struggle and to find out what is happening. And so piece by piece, the mysteries are finally revealed. So now we know that it's all a conspiracy and Takano is the culprit, we can have a happy ending with the cops taking Takano away... "I would have gotten away with it... if it weren't for you meddling kids"
Well, no. That is not enough. Despite their best efforts, they still end up losing one more time because Takano's willpower is just that strong. I find this actually kind of fresh. A lot of series will usually have our protagonists struggling, then they find the answer in the last 5 minutes of the climatic battle and we have an instant resolution. But not here. Just trusting your friends isn't enough. Knowing how to win isn't enough. You aren't winning just because your willpower is strong and you are the good guys. Takano wants to win just as bad. A lot of the stuff is out of the protagonists' control and thus the only thing they can do is take advantage of what is given to them.
Initially, I found Matsuribayashi-hen somewhat anticlimactic. It did seem kind of convenient at places and Takano's minions got insanely stupid, not to mention that they apparently got the Ewoks to help them. But by the end of Minagoroshi-hen, and with Hanyuu's decision to finally assume her role, victory did seem inevitable. It became a matter of not if, but how, and a diablos ex machina would have pretty much ruined anything. And since by this time we are supposed to be rooting for the protagonists, it did seem that all the miracles would occur with enough rolling of the dice. So Rika did cheat to win. But wouldn't you after all this? Everyone is using whatever at their disposal to get what they want. It's only fair that Rika and friends should too.
The note in the last episode about Old Maid was pretty interesting. After all, a lot of the series involved placing blame and that led to tragedy. Also, the constant struggle of "our" happiness vs "their" happiness. But are these things mutually exclusive? Must someone always win or lose or be the one that gets blamed? Because that type of binary thinking has led to many previous tragedies.
In the end I saw a pretty damned epic story that started from the depths of confusion and despair to enlightenment and hope. Where there is distrust (Onikakushi-hen), there will be forgiveness (Tsumihoroboshi-hen). Where there is ignorance (Watanagashi-hen), there will be truth (Meakashi-hen). Where there is isolation (Tatarigoroshi-hen), there will be unity (Minagoroshi-hen), and where there will be inaction (Himatsubushi-hen), there will be action (Matsuribayashi-hen) And ultimately that will be the key to finally escape the endless cycle of tragedy.
So yea, I rate this a 10.

nice writing archon, i feel mostly similar
but i actually view Higurashi and -Kai as a complete one long series, no fun if u only watch one of them
-Kai does have better animations and everything looks smoother
but the most memorable is still the first chapter of Higurashi, i really feel the chilling on my back while watching it, the unpredictable Rena is really scary
for me -Kai is 9/10

I felt most of the stories were tragic. The deaths were senseless and you felt sorry for the characters as it was so preventable. But on the hand it wasn't stupid, because their options were extremely limited.
Well ok, Keiichi's actions in Watanagashi-hen were pretty dumb. -_-

Higurashi Kai :3
I loved this season so much, and following it as the episodes came out made it even more worthwhile. I really liked how this season was done. The animation was a lot better than the first season, and it was very suspenseful right until the end. They way they portrayed Rika's struggle to beat her fate was so cool :3 and whenever she would reach a breakthrough I would find myself super excited XD because she was that much closer!
Though the first season really was full of the question arcs, it really did set the viewer up well for kai. One of my favorite parts of the higurashi series are how well all of the character's are done. You can't help but really appreciate how well all of the characters are done.
Spoiler for for those who haven't watched all of kai:
Overall, really well done. Though when it ended I was hoping for more eps, and even with rei out, I'm still sad to say that higurashi is over.

I was recommended this anime by a friend, and it was described to me as an epic psychokiller-loli-gorefest (since I liked Elfen Lied). So naturally, I was sketchy at first, since I like to watch shows with some substance, not just a lot of shock value. I'm glad I decided to go ahead and watch the show. It has a lot more depth than its reputation would have you know.

Kai was pretty good.
The animation was leaps and bounds over the first season. They seemed to put a lot more effort into the character designs and making everything look crisp, making it look prettier in High definition and such. It sort of set the standard for how Umineko would look as an anime in the near future.
That being said, there were some points were background textures looked absolutely dreadful...
Spoiler for Bad animation sequences:
Spoiler for Last two arcs:
A common complaint I hear is that this season lacks all the Yandere rage that made the first one so memorable, but I honestly think that's a good thing. This one strives to be more story oriented. Also it should be kept in mind, there's only so many times I can witness the same 16 year old girls get killed over and over again before I get bored (As cynical as that sounds xD), and as such this season went for less for mindless violence and more of a degree of reasoning and tolerance between the characters.
Spoiler for Ending?:
Spoiler for Umineko:
Overall, this was an awesome series. I really hope they expand this series more in the future.

Over the MLK Jr weekend, I watched both seasons in their entirety, and like many people felt the first season was better.
I was disappointed that the suspense in Kai was entirely gone. How the series was going to end felt pretty clear by episode 5. Since the ending was so obvious, I felt there was very little emotional investment in the second season. The mystery became so clear, and the solution was so obvious, that in the last 5 or so episodes I found my self getting quite bored.
Nit picking, but I also disliked that there were rather important scenes after the credits. I didn't realize that until episode 20 or so.
At the very end, there were some terrible decisions. Specifically, having Satoshi be alive. I absolutely hated that. It made everything I respected about it vanish the moment they revealed that he was alive and recovering. By telling the viewer only small bits and pieces about him in the first season, but letting you know how much he cared about Satoko, I felt there was a lot of emotional involvement. Sometimes brief flashes of back story and leaving a lot of blanks is a lot more powerful than explaining absolutely everything. You already knew plenty about Satoshi because of Shion's arc in season 1. Having him alive in season 2 was entirely pointless.
Then there was the ending. Oh wow, the ending couldn't have been worse (Okay, maybe it could have...), the kids all setting up traps home alone style was completely ruined the established atmosphere of the series. It felt so light hearted in Season 2 that it felt like an entirely different show from season 1. The kids defeating the Yamainu, who all were trained agents with guns should not have been defeated by them. It probably would have been better if the kids just ran until the other group from Tokyo arrived to arrest the Yamainu, or perhaps Hanyuu could have done something to scare them.
The fact that Shion and Kasai pretended to get knocked out in a gunfight is just stupid. The even stupider thing, is that the Yamainu fell for it. How do you get knocked out in a gunfight without getting it by a bullet? Why were they not suspicious that they were unconscious yet not bleeding? This scene didn't even need to exist! Its part of what ruined the atmosphere.
On top of that, Akasaka taking out all of the Yamainu outside was ridiculous (no matter how much the guy trained in the past 5 years, he couldn't have been able to take on 5 people who are also trained at the same time), plus why didn't they have guns? They were in a remote area in the mountains, on a private estate, and they had silenced guns. There is no reason they couldn't have had their guns drawn. Its things like this that just ruin the mood.
Overall though, I really enjoyed the series, and I was satisfied with the answers in Kai, so I give it an 8/10. Also, I wasn't actually bothered by the animation in either series.
While I enjoyed season 2, I think the first season was much better as it was actually able to maintain its atmosphere.

Actually the thing is that the Yamainu isnt agents trained for fighting at all the anime didnt tell this, they are basically an information gathering group. And Satokos traps where actually a lot more serious in the orginal, and adults do actually fall for things like the traps Satoko makes it isnt impossible at all, because a lot adults belive that kids are incompetent.

I absolutley loved Higurashi Kai. I would have to say that the story line (in my opinion) was much better than the first season. Sure, it didn't have as much violence, but I thought the story line was really good.
Spoiler for Higurashi no naku koro ni kai!~:
Either way I love EVERYTHING about Higurashi no naku koro ni / rei / kai!~ It is an absolutley amazing anime and manga!~ ✖

My second favourite anime of all time, it has simply the best writing iv'e ever seen in an anime, this comes simply by having such a twisty plot all make perfect sense in the end. I also enjoyed figuring out things before the characters, as well as just enjoying the ride at the time. The animation and voice acting were merely utilitarian, they did their job but nothing spectacular but didn't bother me really.
Overall i give it a 9.2, absolutely loved it.

singing heartbreak
I just finished marathoning the 2nd season. Rather than trying to write[type] 5 paragraphs of my thoughts that no one'll probably read, I'll just touch up on a little bit that I liked. I greatly enjoyed the 2nd season over the last, because of the defining 2 major arcs feeling like they were connected unlike the first season, were each arc felt more individualized.
I absolutely LOVED the cast in the first arc compared to the 2nd, especially Keiichi. He took charge in such a miraculous and powerful way, from trying to save Satoko, to convincing Rika to oppose fate, to talking back to Oryuu, all the way to his emotional death, he was by far the most amazing Keiichi in the entire series and I very highly enjoyed every moment of him in that arc. The rest of the cast was amazing in that arc too, it truly felt like they were all doing something. The 2nd[final] arc was kind of a disappointment in regards to the club; a bit more realistic in that they planned a strat to get the upper hand on the Yamainu, but NOWHERE near as cool as everyone taking their perspective weapons from their prev arcs(Keiichi's Satoshi bat, Rena's cleaver, Shion's taser) w/Mion using martial arts and kicking their ass, even if they got killed in the end. However, everyone lived, even Miyoko, so I guess that was a good thing. All in all, a very enjoyable end to this series.

A new sheltered arbor at Scott Alternative School will help troubled students focus on the sunny side of their stormy academic experiences.
Local contractors and students at the Scott Alternative School have finished building an enclosed arbor and picnic tables in the school garden. The structure is part of an ongoing community gardening project designed to provide positive experiences for students who have been suspended or expelled.
"These kids need attention and to see people are concerned about their well being and their future," said Joe Marchese of Marchese Construction.
Students in grades pre-kindergarten through 12th are sent to Scott because they've been convicted of a felony, expelled or suspended long-term for violating the Savannah-Chatham public school system's complex code of conduct. For years, the no-frills campus has been associated with all the things that are bleak about public education.
But last year, English teacher Karen Malofy received a $2,000 grant from The Excellence Fund to develop her idea for an outdoor classroom. She teamed with volunteers from The Home Depot and Sam's Club to transform a concrete slab and an unsightly grass lot into a garden they call the Sol Patch.
"That little lot has provided a huge opportunity for learning, and we're thankful for the outpouring of community support," said Principal Roy Davenport. "Students can go out there, work, see the fruit of their labor, and when they go back to their regular schools they leave something positive behind."
The outdoor classroom and garden provides students with a therapeutic outlet. They go there when they need counseling or just to relieve stress. They also grow herbs and vegetables. The addition of the new arbor will allow them to do lessons and projects outside.
"To me, the best thing that has come of this is the self-esteem it gives the students," Malofy said. "People judge them harshly, but when they get the opportunity to shine, they shine."
A crew from Marchese Construction started work on the arbor over the weekend. They returned Thursday to put on a roof.
Scott students wrote essays to participate in the effort. Additional funding and support was provided by Floyd Concrete Inc., the Kern-Coleman Company LLC, Georgia Power, the Savannah College of Art and Design and Cha Bella restaurant.
"It's not really about doing it for yourself. It's about doing it for the school," said student Jacob Hollis. "You would think people don't care, but this shows you that they really do."

Why are they called grinders?
The term "Grinder" can be traced back to the East Coast, where during World War I, Italian immigrants set up sandwich shops close to the shipyards. Their freshly baked Italian rolls were filled with generous amounts of meats and cheese, and were then baked and garnished with lettuce and tomato. These super-sized sandwiches were a favorite of the hard working men who ground off rivets on the metal warships. The friendly shop owners referred to these men as grinders, and the ever popular sandwiches also came to be known as GRINDERS.

Shortly after the one-year anniversary that marked the death of University of Texas student Haruka Weiser, a different student has died in a violent stabbing on campus.
Harrison Brown, a first-year student at UT from North Texas, was near Gregory Gymnasium when police believe a different student, Kendrex White, stabbed him to death. Brown was among several who were allegedly stabbed by White.
Here's what we know so far:
What transpired
In the afternoon of May 1, witnesses told police they observed White in the Student Activity Center on campus. He exited the building on the south side, UT Police Chief David Carter said at a May 2 press briefing.
Witnesses told UT police that he appeared "normal."
He walked southbound on the west side of Gregory Gym, where he encountered a female student. Carter said at the press conference that he then was seen kicking the female student, "as if he was kicking her out of the way," he said.
That's when police believe White stabbed Brown. In an affidavit obtained by KVUE May 3, a friend of Brown's told police that he saw a man make a "punching motion" toward Brown's chest.
White continued to walk southbound, found a male sitting at a picnic table and allegedly stabbed him in the back of the head.
White is then believed to have stabbed a third victim followed by a fourth victim in the vicinity.
Carter said UTPD received a call regarding the stabbings at 1:46 p.m., and that officers arrived at 1:48 p.m.
With what has been described as a "Bowie style hunting knife" still in his hand, Carter said he walked into the Jester Dormitory as a police officer told White to drop the knife. After White ignored the officer's commands, the officer gave him commands a second time. At that point, White dropped the knife and got down on the ground just inside the entrance to Jester. Officers took him into custody.
Carter said it's that quick response from UTPD that kept others from being harmed.
Here is a photo provided to KVUE of the suspect being arrested:
At 3:15 p.m., UT police said there was no longer a threat to campus.
When police read White his Miranda rights, he agreed to speak, according to his arrest affidavit.
When he was asked if he knew why he was there, White said, "Yes, accusations of pushing someone down and I think using a bladed weapon," the affidavit said.
When officers asked if he was hearing voices in his head, he said "that his mind told him to, 'tell the truth and withhold any action that he did because it really didn't happen,'" the affidavit said.
White allegedly stopped the interview and said, "If I did something I don't remember then I want to be told," according to the affidavit.
White has been charged with murder, a first-degree felony. He is being held on a $1 million bond.
What we know about the suspect
White is a 21-year-old student at UT.
He has been charged with murder, according to APD. Online records at the Travis County Jail state his bond has been set at $1 million.
Austin Police Department Interim Chief Brian Manley said other charges are expected to be filed. A search on his criminal records showed that he was arrested in early April for allegedly driving while intoxicated. During that arrest, he allegedly told officers he had been prescribed "happy pills."
During the May 2 press briefing, police said White was committed in another city.
What was the suspect's motive?
Shortly after the stabbing, rumors were flying on social media regarding the suspect's motive. Many were speculating that White had targeted members of UT fraternities and sororities.
Authorities do not have information to support that theory.
None of the victims were wearing anything that would indicate they were members of a fraternity. Police do not believe this was a targeted attack or that it was a conspiracy.
UTPD Chief Carter said White has a history of mental illness.
The victims
Brown, the UT freshman, has died.
Austin-Travis County EMS said that in addition to Brown, three other people were taken to the hospital. An additional one or two people were said to have minor injuries and were not taken to the hospital, according to ATCEMS.
Several hours after the attack, UT President Greg Fenves said two of the victims had been released from the hospital.
All of the victims were male students.
On the evening of the attack, Graham Independent School District in North Texas identified the deceased as Brown. He was a part of Graham High School's graduating class of 2016.
Graham ISD provided KVUE with photos of Brown on May 2:
KVUE's Michael Perchick spoke with Graham High School's principal. Here is what he was a part of at the school:
- Acapella choir
- Band
- Student Council
- Technology Student Association
- Key Club
- Drama Club
- Voted "student class favorite"
Brown was a non-initiated, new member of the UT chapter of Phi Delta Theta.
"… the brothers of the Texas Beta and the Longhorn community lost a close friend in Harrison Brown," Phi Delta Theta said in a statement.
KVUE's Rebeca Trejo witnessed two friends of Brown's place flowers at Gregory Gym to remember their friend:

UT President Fenves spoke with Brown's family following the attack. He said Brown was "trying to decide what path he wanted to follow in life."
Although he was interested in many things, Fenves said Brown "wanted to follow his passion in music."
"His family will never be able to hear Harrison play again," Fenves said.
A memorial fund has been set up for the Brown family. Go here to donate.
Other incidents in West Campus are not related, police say
There were two other incidents that happened in West Campus the day of the violent stabbing on campus. Police said those incidents are not related to the deadly stabbing on campus.
In one of the incidents, police said a man was stabbed after trying to stop another man from threatening a woman with a knife in West Campus at around 3 p.m. Police are asking for the public's help in finding the suspect who stabbed the man. Go here for details.
ATCEMS confirmed to KVUE May 2 that a body was found in a West Campus apartment the night of May 1. Again, police said this is not related to the other stabbing incident in West Campus or the deadly stabbing incident on campus that same day. Police do not believe that death is suspicious. Go here for details.
The investigation and police reaction
APD Interim Chief Manley said APD, the FBI, CIA, the District Attorney's Office, Department of Public Safety and U.S. Marshals are all assisting with the investigation. He said he is committed to lending every resource and to assist in any way the department can.
Manley said in the press briefing May 2 that APD failed in not putting out information on the incident in West Campus until 9:38 p.m. He said they should have released information on that incident earlier.
Although Manley said DPS will assist with patrols in West Campus going forward, he said that students need to be aware of their surroundings at all times.
Resources for students
The UT Counseling and Mental Health Center has extended their hours in light of the violent attack. They will be open until 7 p.m. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The 24-hour hotline can also be reached at 512-471-2255.

WebPredict necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 17 diseños de 6 diseñadores freelance.
WebPredict, Inc.
WebPredict is a pretty simple concept: it helps a person find web content they'll like by learning what that person is interested in and then highlighting links of interest while the person surfs the web (via a Firefox add-on). See current not very good screenshots on WebPredict.net for an example. It's closest conceptually to something like StumbleUpon, but with some significant differences.
The bottom line for this project: what we really need is to polish up our existing site and make it immediately clear on the front page what the service is about and why it's useful. Also, we want to display some interesting user activity, though maybe not as much as we are now (see second page after the front page on our site via the Try It button).
Site designs that we like:
We do not need to keep our current color scheme, though a predominantly blue background is preferable. You can tweak the logo colors as well if needed to make things work cosmetically.
Note: we will have more work to do for the winning designer!
Also note that the site is using Java-related web technologies but you don't need to worry about that - we just need HTML, CSS, and any JavaScript that might be needed for some particular effect. We will incorporate the dynamic elements into your html templates.
People who use Digg, StumbleUpon, Reddit, i.e., avid web surfers who would appreciate new ways to find fresh content that's of interest to them. The point of WebPredict is to make it easier for people to find this fresh content immediately, from any page that they're on (as opposed to having to go to some other site and browse submitted links or something like that), which they do via the add-on piece. The main site's purpose is to get people familiar with the concept and show some active community (and potentially let people discover other users with similar interests, etc), as well as to let power users tune the prediction service to their own particular preferences (the My Account page).
We would like 2 pages made over and two small templates:
1. very slick, clear (in terms of purpose/usefulness) front page, which should conceptually merge elements of the existing front page and second page (see the Try It button page) containing the following:
-some graphical example that makes it immediately clear what the concept is and why it's useful. It does not need to be screenshots like it is now, but it could be.
-button to download Firefox add-on
-some user activity (e.g., recently rated pages, user profiles, comments, etc.)
-login link/button
2. Cleanup for the initial page + header shown when a user logs in. Should have at least a presentable tabbed design to replace the feature buttons the user sees now on login, and maybe some tips on how best to use the service and what pages seem most interesting/highly rated recently by WebPredict users.
3. slick table template that goes with the site's color scheme (see History tab once you have any ratings history for an example of where this template will be used)
4. slick form template (see My Account area after login for existing form that needs improvement)
Feel free to deviate wildly from what's on our site now (cosmetically)! We're open to ideas/suggestions not mentioned here. We're even open to significant color scheme changes.
Note: please remove the 'our sponsors' sections (fake ads).

ROCKFORD - Winnebago County Board member John Sweeney, his 4-year-old son, Johnny, and other family members had their sleds and the freshly coated snow-covered hill at Twin Sister Hills Park all to themselves late Tuesday afternoon.
His plans for New Year's Eve night were to stay in town and stay warm.
"They'll have a sleepover with the grandparents, and we'll bring in the new year with friends and family probably at my sister's house," Sweeney said.
Wind chills well below zero, accumulating snow, and the potential for more intoxicated drivers on the roads than normal most likely prompted many New Year's Eve revelers to usher in 2014 in the comfort of their homes.
Tuesday afternoon, a long line of patrons armed with DVDs snaked between the video display cases at the Charles Street Family Video.
"Once the weather gets kind of iffy, people tend to think it is the perfect time to stay in and watch movies, and we agree," said store employee Markeisha Harris.
Tuesday morning, the National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory for Winnebago, Boone, Ogle and DeKalb counties in effect from 2 p.m. Tuesday to 10 a.m. today.
Two rounds of snow were expected to fall in the Rockford area between Tuesday afternoon and tonight, dumping up to 6 inches of snow.
Today may also prove to be a good day to stay indoors. The National Weather Service is predicting a New Year's Day high of 17 degrees and an overnight low of 5. Thursday's daytime high is expected to reach 12 degrees with an overnight low of minus-15. Friday's high also is expected to top out at 12 degrees and remain there, falling just one degree my nightfall.
Register Star reporter Jeff Kolkey contributed to this report.

Eating Disorder or Not?
I normally have a small appetite and eat very little. Whenever I feel stressed, overwhelmed, angry, sad, etc. I stop eating completely. I will go for days without eating anything at all without realizing I am doing it. If I do realize I am not eating it is usually because someone has pointed it out to me or I have lost weight (I am 5`1″ and just under 100 lbs as it is). During those times, the sight or smell of food makes me nauseous and trying to force even a bit or two makes me vomit. I am 49 years old and have done this most of my life.
You describe many symptoms and tendencies that meet criteria for an eating disorder. It would be strongly recommended that you seek a specialized eating disorder assessment in the community near you. The National Eating Disorder Association has a referral listing for your state and area, and http://www.edreferral.com/ is also a common eating disorder source for referrals.
If you had a swollen ankle and it was not getting better, you would probably have it checked out; this note is to encourage you to do the same to discuss your symptoms around your eating, feelings, and thoughts about eating.
If you live in central Ohio, The Center for Balanced Living is the specialized eating disorder nonprofit clinic that provides assessments, education, support groups, and treatment for those 16 and above. OSU does not provide specialized ED treatment or assessments. Nationwide Children's Hospital provides outpatient specialized eating disorder assessments and treatment for those under 19 years old.

text: Fluorescein and Photographic Imaging Services The Retina Service provides a number of diagnostic photographic and imaging services for out-patient referrals. Referring physicians may order imaging services by contacting the Fluorescein Service at 617-573-3577. Fluorescein angiography is a procedure that is ordered by an ophthalmologist in order to evaluate the retinal circulation system in the eyes. The test highlights any abnormalities that may be present with the front or back of the eye and takes approximately 45 minutes to an hour. The eyes are dilated and the patient's vital signs and medication history are obtained. A small amount of a benign synthetic dye is administered intravenously and a series of photographs are taken while the dye enters and exits the circulatory systems within the eye. ICG (indo-cyanine green) angiography is also a photographic study ordered by an ophthalmologist in order to evaluate the choroidal circulation of the retina and takes approximately 30 minutes. A small amount of this dye is administered intravenously and a series of photographs are taken as the dye enters and exits the vessels in the eyes, highlighting any abnormalities that may be present. Color photography is performed on patients in order to document findings seen on clinical examinations. This category includes wide-angle photos, external photos, slit-lamp photography, and full face photography. Photographs of the posterior (rear) segment of the eye require dilation in most cases. SD OCT (spectoral domain ocular coherence tomography) is a measurement of the retinal tissue thickness in the eye. The test usually requires dilation and takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes. ERG (electroretinogram) is a performed on patients to evaluate retinal function, mainly rods and cones, and is performed at Mass. Eye and Ear in both the Berman Gund Lab and the Retina Service. The Retina Service performs both full-field ERG and multi-focal ERG. This test requires dilation of the eyes and is approximately 2 ½ to 3 hours in duration. It is recommended that patients bring sunglasses and have a ride home for any eye exam that requires dilation or utilizes medication. Appointments for the above testing procedures can be made by contacting the Fluorescein Lab in the Retina Service at Mass. Eye and Ear at 617-573-3577. All patients should check with their insurance providers to see if they require a referral for any of the procedures. Additionally, all patients need to register and provide insurance information before their appointments. The Fluorescein Lab is located on the 12th floor of our main building in Boston.

UK 'Snooper Act' Threatens Global Information Flow
Listen closely if you make and market any types of communication equipment, because a law under revision in the United Kingdom will most likely affect your operation. The UK government is proposing an extension of the Regulation of Investigatory Power Act (RIPA). This will allow greater access to people's phone and email records. The traditional English humor has already sprung into action and given RIPA a new moniker: the Snooper Act. But what's new? Didn't we have Big Brother watching us everywhere already?
Of course we do, under the existing Act -- but not without a warrant. So what's new? Here are some details of the original RIPA Act, from The Guardian:
The government's new regulation seeks expansion of this law. (See Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000: Proposed Amendments Affecting Lawful Interception.) This regulation should be of interest to companies in the electronics industry because it governs the use of many of the communication devices they manufacture. The law will in many ways impact consumers and enterprises, and it's not clear yet how it will affect the propagation of communication devices.
What does this really mean? In the words of a senior Tory MP, it gives "unfettered access to every single communication people send." The Home Office, a government department responsible for taking the lead on policies relating to immigration control, counter-terrorism, policing, drugs and crime, wants to extend the powers of the security services to monitor emails and phone calls, to help prevent terrorism. A spokesman from the Home Office clarified further in a statement:
The law will monitor the time of communication, duration, and dialing numbers of a phone call or an email address. The home office spokesman further stressed that, "it does not include the content of any phone call or email and it is not the intention of the government to make changes to the existing legal basis for the interception of communications."
OK, I understand a bit better. This law is aimed at terrorists and other law breakers, but is it possible that many innocent people might be caught in its wide jaws? Here is the rationale given by Nick Clegg, a Liberal Democrat and Deputy Prime Minister:
What this tells me is that the current law does allow the government and its officials to essentially do as they please. The government wants complete control of all its citizens' daily activity, not just the terrorist or criminally minded ones.
Critics say the proposed revision to RIPA will constitute a violation of our basic rights to privacy, and I totally agree. Why would the government require further power to demand that Internet service providers install hardware enabling the UK's Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), which coordinates all "signal intelligence activities," to monitor all phone calls, text messages, emails, and Websites "in real time without prior warrant"? The law, as Tory MP David Davis noted, "is not focusing on terrorists or on criminals." We are all a target.
These concerns are not without basis. Governments tend to overreach under the guise of protecting the citizenry, and often their actions tend to impede the free flow of commerce. I found that the main concern and reason for opposing the extension of this new law -- that "the system could be wide open to abuse," according to Malcolm Bruce, a senior Liberal Democrat MP -- is one that should resonate with ordinary citizens and business.
In the past, information generated under RIPA has been lost, leaked, stolen, or distributed unnecessarily even by the police themselves. This is the general worry. Just imagine this being done without a court order.
This was why a similar widening of the law was rejected under the Tony Blair government. Current Prime Minister David Cameron's party opposed the measure when it was in opposition. Why are they pressing ahead now with a once abandoned regulatory expansion? And what will its passage mean for your business?

Hearings were held on both sides of the Hill last week to consider a trio of surveillance powers set to expire under PATRIOT Act sunset rules. But the stage is set for a much broader fight over the sweeping expansion of search and surveillance authority seen over the past eight years; the chairmen of both the House and Senate Judiciary Committees have announced their intention to use the occasion to revisit the entire edifice of post-9/11 surveillance law. Two major reform bills have already been introduced: Sen. Russ Feingold's JUSTICE Act and Sen. Patrick Leahy's USA PATRIOT Sunset Extension Act. Both would preserve the core of most of the new intelligence tools while strengthening oversight and introducing more robust checks against abuse or overreach. The JUSTICE Act, however, is both significantly broader in scope and frequently establishes more stringent and precisely crafted civil liberties safeguards. Most observers expect the Leahy bill to provide the basis for the legislation ultimately reported out of Judiciary, the central question being how much of JUSTICE will be incorporated into that legislation during markup later this week. While the surveillance authorities and oversight measures covered in each bill are varied and complex, it's worth examining the differences in some detail.
One thing to get out of the way first: Most of the press coverage I've seen of Feingold's bill to date leads with the provision that would repeal the retroactive legal immunity Congress granted to telecommunications firms that participated in the National Security Agency's program of warrantless wiretaps. During last year's debate over reforms to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, most reporters seem to have decided that because the immunity controversy was the sexiest or the easiest aspect of the FISA amendments to explain, it was also the most important. Which is pretty much backwards. Granting retroactive immunity was a bad idea, but the repeal clause in the JUSTICE Act is (a) not terribly likely to pass, and (b) ultimately trivial compared with the need to place reasonable limits on powers that, without strong oversight, could permit large-scale spying on Americans. In a paradoxically somewhat ominous development, a separate telecom immunity bill was introduced Monday with the co-sponsorship of both Feingold and Leahy, along with Chris Dodd and Jeff Merkley. I say "ominously" because it can be read as indicating a consensus among Democratic senators to focus on the headline-friendly immunity issue at the expense of the more important safeguards on future surveillance. More hopefully, breaking it out could be a "we tried" move designed to win plaudits from allies and draw fire from enemies without letting the measure be a poison pill in the broader reform bill, where the stuff that matters ends up. Time will tell, obviously.
Lone Wolves
That aside, let's start with the three expiring provisions, which I discussed briefly last week. The so-called "lone wolf" provision allows the special investigative powers of FISA, which normally require a target to be an "agent of a foreign power," to be used on non-citizens who lack any apparent affiliation to a terrorist group, but nevertheless are thought to be engaged in "international terrorism or activities in preparation therefor." The Leahy bill would renew it; Feingold's JUSTICE Act does not. Lone wolf authority has never been invoked, suggesting that, as yet, it has been neither subject to abuse nor particularly urgently needed. But since the statutory definition of a "lone wolf" requires evidence of criminal conduct—engagement in "international terrorism"—any case in which it would apply should also be a case where investigators would be able to obtain an ordinary Title III criminal warrant.
That seems like the more appropriate approach for some of the cases that the Justice Department apparently thinks would be covered, such as a person who "self-radicalizes" by reading terrorist Web sites. If that is the extent of the "international" connection required, the provision uncomfortably blurs the line between domestic national security investigations, for which the Fourth Amendment demands a traditional warrant, and foreign intel investigations where an array of special considerations closely linked to the actual involvement of "foreign powers" justify greater leeway for investigators.
Roving Taps
Both bills would renew FISA's "roving wiretap" authority, which permits investigators to eavesdrop on targets without specifying a particular phone line or e-mail account in advance, in order to deal with suspects who may rapidly change communications venues in an attempt to thwart surveillance. Under FISA, however, owing to the difficulties inherent in foreign intel surveillance, the target of a warrant can be merely described rather than directly identified. This led to worries about "John Doe" roving warrants that would contain neither the target's name nor any particular location. Congress added some extra language in 2006, requiring the target to be "specifically described"—that is, if not a name, a precise enough description to single out a unique individual—in roving warrants, and also required after-the-fact notice of the court when surveillance "roved" to a new facility.
Given the secrecy inherent in FISA proceedings, it's impossible to know precisely how investigators and the court have interpreted this new language, or whether it truly provides an adequate safeguard. Where the Leahy bill would renew roving as currently written, JUSTICE adds the requirement that roving warrants contain the "identity" of the target, and codifies the principle that roving taps should only be activated during periods when it is reasonable to believe the target is "proximate to" the facility. The latter language, it should be noted, may actually have the practical effect of loosening restrictions on roving taps. Even in roving cases, FISA's minimization provisions require an evidentiary "nexus" between the target and a facility that "is being used, or about to be used" by the target. The "proximity" standard pulled across from the Title III criminal context may actually be more permissive.
215 "Tangible Thing" Orders
Last of the provisions expiring this year is authority under section 215 of FISA, to compel the production of "any tangible thing" from just about anyone, though it's primarily intended to cover various kinds of business records. Under the original PATRIOT Act, this required only a certification to the secret FISA court that the records or objects sought were "relevant" to an investigation. In 2006, Congress added a requirement that applications for 215 orders include some factual showing of relevance, but many kinds of requests were deemed presumptively relevant.
Both bills tighten this up, with some minor differences. All now limit 215 orders to records pertaining to suspected agents of foreign powers, the activities of those agents, or persons known to be in direct contact with or otherwise linked to those agents. This preempts expanding friend-of-a-friend fishing expeditions where the target's father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate's colonoscopy results are potentially "relevant." Feingold adds a "least intrusive means" requirement when the records pertain to "activities"—since in that case the presumption is that the identities of the specific targets are unknown, and the order seeks to discover them. Feingold's bill also permits records to pertain to a "subject of an ongoing and authorized national security investigation" other than an agent of a foreign power, which would appear to broaden the scope of accessible records.
Neither bill responds to the concern raised by civil libertarians that "contact" with a suspect is too vaguely defined. Again, since we're necessarily ignorant about precisely how courts have construed the "relevance" standard, it wouldn't hurt to make explicit that when the records sought pertain to non-targets in "contact" with a target, there be some showing that establishes a nexus between the nature of the contact and the investigatory purpose to obtain foreign intelligence information.
National Security Letters
That covers the expiring provisions. Fortunately, both bills recognize that it would be fruitless to tighten restrictions on 215 orders without doing something to rein in the vastly more frequently used National Security Letters. An Inspector General audit found that in at least one instance, the FBI improperly used NSLs to obtain information they had previously sought under a 215 order, and which the FISA court had denied on the grounds that the investigation raised First Amendment concerns.
More generally, it's believed that, especially after Congress imposed some restrictions on the scope of 215 orders, investigators have preferred to instead rely on relatively unfettered NSLs whenever possible. Almost 50,000 were issued in 2006 alone, and the majority were used to obtain information about U.S. persons. These are slightly more restricted in their application, allowing acquisition of records from telecoms and "financial institutions," but PATRIOT removed many limitations on the types of records that could be sought from those institutions, and post-PATRIOT reforms vastly expanded the definition of "financial institution" to cover many businesses we wouldn't intuitively describe that way: pawnshops, casinos, travel agencies, businesses with lots of cash transactions, and probably your nephew's piggy bank. Crucially, they are issued by investigative agencies—mainly the FBI—without court approval. Inspector General audits have discovered rampant misuse of this tool.
Both bills contain language parallel to their 215 sections requiring a tighter link between the records sought and the subject of the investigation. Significantly, the JUSTICE Act also restores pre-PATRIOT limitations on the kinds of records that can be sought, limiting NSLs to relatively basic information about clients or subscribers and requiring a court order for more sensitive data. The Leahy bill would establish a new four-year sunset for expanded NSL authorities; Feingold's does not, presumably because it already substantially rolls back PATRIOT's expansion of those authorities. Greg Nojeim of the Center for Democracy and Technology argues that NSL reform is the most important part of the PATRIOT reauthorization debate.
Gag Orders
NSLs and 215 orders are both routinely accompanied by gag orders, which several courts have found to raise significant First Amendment problems. Both bills allow recipients of NSLs or 215 orders to challenge both the orders and any accompanying gag, and shift the burden of proof from the recipient to the government to show that the gag—now limited in duration, but renewable—is necessary to avert harm to an investigation or to national security. Previously recipients seeking to challenge a gag were in the unenviable position of proving that there was "no reason" to think disclosure could have any adverse consequence. JUSTICE, however, goes further in detailing the specific kinds of harms that may justify imposition of a gag, and requiring a showing a direct link between the alleged harm and the particular investigation, while the Leahy bill permits more generalized and vague allegations of harm.
Also covered under both bills are pen registers and trap-and-trace devices, typically bundled together under the rubric of "pen/trap" surveillance, which involves acquiring communications metadata—the numbers and times of incoming and outgoing phone calls, e-mail addresses, Web URLs visited, and the like—under a lower standard than would be required for a full-blown search or wiretap. Again echoing the language of their 215 and NSL provisions, both bills put some teeth into the "relevance" requirement by limiting whose metadata can be obtained. JUSTICE, however, also imposes these limits on criminal pen/trap orders for the first time, closing a potential loophole that would remain if only FISA pen/trap orders were covered.
Reporting and Audits
Finally, the Leahy and Feingold bills both include an array of enhanced reporting requirements, mandating somewhat more detailed public disclosure of how often different investigative tools are used. Leahy's bill also requires the Inspector General of the Department of Justice to conduct a series of annual audits, with reports to Congress, on the use of "tangible things" orders, pen/trap surveillance, and NSLs.
JUSTICE-Only Reforms: FISA Amendments Act
That covers the terrain in which the two bills overlap. But arguably the most important difference between the Leahy and Feingold bills—and along with more stringent NSL reform, perhaps the most important component of the JUSTICE Act that should be ported into whatever bill is finally reported out of Judiciary—concerns the changes made to the ill-advised FISA Amendments Act passed last year.That law gave the Attorney General broad power to authorize wiretaps aimed at communications between the U.S. and other countries, with only anemic court oversight.
The JUSTICE Act provides stronger barriers to "reverse targeting," in which an authorization nominally directed at a party abroad is granted for the purpose of eavesdropping on a particular U.S. person's foreign communications. The new language clarifies that surveillance is impermissibly "reverse targeted" when it is a "significant purpose"—as opposed to "the purpose"—of the surveillance to listen in on the American party. When one side of a communication is in the U.S., the bill triggers additional requirements that either the particular communication be relevant to terrorism (not merely "foreign intelligence," which is far broader) or that the foreign side of the communication is affiliate with a terrorist group.
Perhaps most important of all, JUSTICE bars "bulk collection"—massive, vacuum cleaner acquisition of international communications—by requiring that at least one party to any communication "acquired" be an actual individual target, though not necessarily a named or known target. While this is plainly intended to prevent the kind of Orwellian computer-filtered fishing expeditions civil libertarians have worried might be authorized, it's important to note that there's a potentially huge loophole here, involving ambiguity about the point at which a communication is technically "acquired." It's too complicated to cover in detail here, but I've written about it in my previous life as a journalist. If, as the government has argued in the past, acquisition only occurs when an intercepted communication is "fixed in a human readable format," the new language would bar bulk recording in an intelligible form, but not necessarily bar bulk collection for computer filtering. Again, the issues here are fairly complex, and I'm working on a paper that takes them up in greater detail.
Other JUSTICE-Only Reforms
There are a hodgepodge of other changes in the ambitious JUSTICE Act, and I'll just mention very briefly some of the most important ones. The bill puts some stricter limits on the granting of so-called "Sneak-and-Peek" warrants, which allow for disclosure of a search to its target to be delayed for long periods. As David Rittgers observed yesterday, these were sold as necessary for terror investigations, but as with some other PATRIOT powers, have ended up being invoked overwhelmingly in ordinary criminal cases. It tweaks the language of a PATRIOT provision designed to allow monitoring of computer hackers to prevent abuse. It narrows the definition of the crime of "material support" for terrorism to make clear that it covers knowing support for criminal activities—as opposed to, say, humanitarian aid. And it ensures that PATRIOT's definition of "domestic terrorism" can't be applied to (legitimately illegal but non-terrorist) civil disobedience by political groups.
Either bill would do a great deal to halt the erosion of civil liberties safeguards we've seen over the past eight years, and in general these are reforms well crafted to provide oversight and checks against abuse without depriving investigators of tools vital to legitimate national security investigations. The most important items here, however, are the more stringent limitations on National Security letters embodied in the JUSTICE Act, and that legislation's common-sense limits on the frankly astonishing discretion to authorize surveillance granted the executive branch under the FISA Amendments Act. How those provisions fare will tell us how serious Congress is about protecting civil liberties.

NVIDIA has released a public beta of the PGI CUDA-enabled Fortran compiler. Developed in collaboration with The Portland Group , it is the first Fortran compiler compatible with NVIDIA CUDA-enabled graphics processing units (GPUs). For more information on CUDA, see the article series CUDA, Supercomputing for the Masses.
GPU computing with the CUDA C-compiler has gained traction in the high-performance computing (HPC) space as it lets developers get transformative increases in performance with minimal coding. However, the case can be made that HPC is still dominated by Fortran, a programming language particularly well suited to numeric computation and scientific computing. Fortran is widely used in applications such as weather modeling, computational fluid dynamics, and seismic processing.
Developers can download the beta CUDA Fortran compiler for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS from The Portland Group website. The PGI CUDA Fortran compiler requires the CUDA SDK which is available from CUDA Zone. For more information on the CUDA Fortran compiler, go here.

The National Nuclear Security Administration has launched a project management mobile app for its Global Threat Reduction Initiative that runs on both the Apple iOS and Google Android platforms, according to the agency's blog.
The app hooks mobile users into G2, GTRI's project management system, to help GTRI project managers in their mission to secure nuclear and radiological materials around the world. The app allows mobile users to quickly filter and analyze all the real-time information about locations and coordinate that with schedules and infrastructure.
Since NNSA established GTRI in 2004 to consolidate efforts to prevent the acquisition of nuclear and radiological materials for use in weapons of mass destruction and for other acts of terrorism, the agency's workload has grown. It developed G2 to help NNSA project managers filter and analyze large amounts of real-time, geospatial data and integrate that data with scope, schedule, cost and infrastructure information for the entire portfolio of GTRI projects, according to the agency. With G2, NNSA said it was able to do more work and manage greater resources without having to hire additional staff.
The new app makes the G2 system available to mobile users, allowing the GTRI team to manage projects wherever they are in the world from their smartphones or tablets.
This is the first time that the GTRI has released an app for more than one operating system, which indicates the administration's commitment to multiplatform mobile device management.The NNSA has previously experimented with networking strategies that ended up being used departmentwide.
