Ron Howard will never be returning to Mayberry for an "Andy Griffith Show" movie -- unless, by some miracle, Don Knotts decides to make a career comeback from beyond the grave.
The Andy Griffith Show is one of the BEST sitcoms of ALL time. My parents grew me up watching it, and I LOVE IT to this day! Mayberry.. a place where you can go and forget all your problems...
Don Knotts was a comedic genius, and the complete casting/writers on this show were excellent!!!! Good Ol' Shows will Never Die.. either will Aunt Bee, Opie, Andy, Barney, Gomer, Ernest T Bass.. etc etc :D
The lake in the beginning credits is supposed to be "Franklin Resevoir" up near Mulholland and Coldwater at GPS 34.0947, -118.4109.
That's too bad there won't be a reunion. I loved watched "The Andy Griffith Show", along with all the other wholesome shows of the 50's.. Those were the days,,,,,
With regards to No, 2, did anyone know that "Carrie" the original, was filmed at the high school I went to, Pacific Palisades High in Pacific Palisades, CA? Fun fact..
"Andy, we've got to nip it... NIP IT IN THE BUD!"
RIP Don Knotts.
The Andy Griffith Show...from the 50s? Wholesome? Yes. Funny? Absolutely. But it started in 1960.
i SURE MISS AUNT BE!
I know he doesn't like whole Opie thing. A co-worker was telling me a few years back that he saw him somehwere in midtown, I think near Grand Central. He started yelling (really LOUD) 'Hey Opie" "Opie!!1" . I seem to remember him telling me that Ron Howard turned around, gave him a fierce look and also flipped the bird.
Those are some sad sad sorry ass FOlk at sad BUTTss true TMZ....hanging droopy fat ass lazySS.
Heres my plot for Ron Howards next movie.
Marty McFly leaves his time machine DeLorean at Fonzies auto shop for a tuneup. The Fonz and Richie take it for a test drive and hit 88 miles per hour and end up in Mayberry 2009 at which point they run over Opie (now Mayor of Mayberry). Fonzie just says "Ayyyyyyyyyyyyy 100 points" with thumbs raised. Sheriff Taylor (forced to go back to work after losing his life savings when Enron collapsed) arrives on the scene in a souped up Hoveround Power Chair, arrests the 2 for assault by vehicle.
Meanwhile Opie lies near death due to multiple organ failure. DNA testing is done its discoverd Opie and Ritchie are the same genetically so Andy smothers Ritchie with a pillow and arranges for organ transplants to save Opie. Fonzie discovers what Andy did and runs over Andy with the DeLorean and upon hitting 88 mph ends up in Salem Massachusetts circa 1692 and is burned at the stake for being a witch. The DeLorean is also burned as a tool of the devil. THE END.
How could there be a reunion???
Barney is dead, so is Aunt Bee, Helen, Floyd the barbar, Howard, the county clerk, Emmett, the repairman, Ernest T. Bass, Clara, Aunt Bee's friend, and Otis the town drunk
# 11 MITZI. I also love the Andy Griffith Show. I did not know "Helen" died. Had not heard about it. Do you know when and more about it ? Would love to know. Thanks!!!
#12.. your best bet is to look at IMDB on the internet... just put in Andy Griffith Show and you can check the cast on who has and has not passed away!
#5.. hhahahaha. NIP IT IN THE BUD!!! lol
Oh look! It's dopie Opie! Takes after his dad...bald as a cue! His last good acting job was The Andy Griffith show.
The "bird" episode was one of the best. I watch those old shows on TVLAND daily, but Opie has become another big time
LIBERAL hollywierd nutjob.
# 13 THANKS FOR TIP, I'LL DO THAT!!! Many, many thanks!!!

There was 5.2 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter and Ray Allen had just finished sending the world into chaos.
When he hit that shot – THE Shot – everything started anew. It was a reset button. The Miami Heat had new life, a new opportunity, to win Game 6. History has shown that they would win that game, followed by Game 7, to win the Finals and the claim their second championship in as many years.
All because Ray Allen hit The Shot.
As many know, Allen works tirelessly at his craft. Because of that work, he's a career 40% shooter from downtown. It's his ability to hit 3-pointers that made him an important asset for the Heat. That's his role on this team.
That's what the Miami Heat have surrounding LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh: Players that have a role on this team, and each can be important when the time comes.
When the NBA Finals begin on Thursday night, one of the spotlights will shine on the much maligned Heat supporting cast, as perception is that anyone beyond The Big Three isn't to be relied upon. The core of this team have led the Heat to 4 consecutive NBA Finals appearances, and 2 NBA Championships. But they've had help along the way. Now that help will be an important part of their goal to win their third consecutive championship.
To question the Heat's depth is just being uninformed. No, they don't have a Reggie Jackson or Manu Ginobili, creators that can come off the bench. They just have role players. The role players are tasked with offering support to the Big Three, whether it be by spreading the floor or being plugged in to provide defensive effort.
Mario Chalmers is the greatest player ever to be named "Mario Chalmers". I'm sure if you sat down and spoke to Chalmers about world events, his beating Derrick Rose in the NCAA National Title game would somehow be brought up. He's somebody that drives fans (and teammates) crazy with his decision making, but he's someone that doesn't shy away when he has to shoot from beyond the arc (39% in 2013-14).
Norris Cole has turned into a rabid pit bull on the perimeter, using his quickness to keep guards in front of him and forcing them to force the ball where they don't want it to go. Granted it's one thing when you're guarding Lance Stephenson, it's another thing when you're going to get asked to check Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili. He's also improved his outside shot, shooting 42% for the playoffs.
Chris Andersen has evolved from being "Birdman" to "Birdzilla" over the course of the season, and he proves that by being a monster in the paint. His shot-blocking has been vital when Miami goes to a conventional center lineup. Offensively, he cleans up the mess with put-back dunks, pick-and-rolls, and drive-and-dishes.
Rashard Lewis has had a mini-renaissance in the past couple of weeks, coming in and being a physical presence on the Pacers' David West by making him work for position. But Lewis' calling card has always been his ability to extend a defense by shooting the three (39% for his career) and will make Spurs coach Gregg Popovich have to think whether he's going to use Tiago Splitter alongside Tim Duncan when Lewis and Bosh are on the floor together.
Shane Battier has been a niche player in this year's playoffs, but can have his timely moments with his 3-point shooting and can still be a nuisance on defense. Same for Udonis Haslem, the Heat's enforcer, as he sees time as someone who can muscle-up with big guys and do some of the dirty work. Maybe you'll even see James Jones, Greg Oden, Toney Douglas, and even Michael Beasley, if the situation warrants it.
The Heat's role players won't individually put up 18-20 points every night, but they do a lot of the little things that help the Heat get the job done. That's the beauty of the Heat's rotation, it has moving parts that are designed to fit the machine. And for this machine to work, everyone is going to have to contribute in their own ways. Miami's defense, when engaged, moves on a string, with everyone knowing what rotations need to be made, forcing turnovers, and making life difficult for opposing offenses. You don't think they'll be engaged for the next two weeks?
That's how the Miami Heat have made it this far.
The voyage to a dynasty will need all hands on deck.

Annual Review Objective:
Through this Annual Review, the Canadian Conservation Institute (CCI) presents results achieved in 2010–2011 to the Department of Canadian Heritage, to CCI clients and partners in Canada and around the world, and to the Canadian public.
CCI's Mission
Through its expertise in conservation science, treatment, and preventive conservation, CCI supports the heritage community in conserving Canada's heritage collections so they may be accessible to present and future generations.
To achieve its mission, CCI organizes its operations under three business lines:
- research and development in conservation, including scientific research, advanced techniques for treatment and restoration, and practical and innovative solutions for caring for collections
- equitable provision of expert services to the heritage community in Canada, including scientific services, conservation treatments, and preservation advisory services that meet the community's needs
- dissemination of conservation knowledge, through training, professional development, online learning materials, and publications, to assist professionals, workers, and volunteers in the heritage community in making informed decisions about care of their collections
Meri Karinen (CCI curriculum intern from Finland) is treating the varnish top coat of a medicine wagon. The wagon is a unique local artifact from the Cumberland Heritage Village Museum, Cumberland, Ontario. It was built by J. Dufourd, a local carriage maker in Ottawa during the late 1800s, and owned by Mr. John D. Ferguson, a pharmacist in Cumberland. Ferguson, son of Dr. James Ferguson, used the wagon from circa 1890 to 1910 to sell Stroud's Tea, Spices, and Cordials, as well as his father's patent medicines.
Rémi Catillon (CCI curriculum intern from the Institut National du Patrimoine, France) is removing a white polish residue from a Japanese cabinet. This complex teak and ivory Asian trade cabinet is from Eldon House, London, Ontario, and was collected by the Harris family on an 8-month-long trip to Japan in 1897.

Message from Minister
As Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages, I am pleased to present the 2010–2011 Annual Review of the Canadian Conservation Institute. This review offers a complete overview of all the Institute's achievements and activities and describes how it is responding to the needs of the heritage community all across Canada.
This community—made up of our museums, art galleries, archives, and historic sites–has the mission to protect, restore, display, and transport the treasures of our culture and heritage so that they are accessible to current and future generations. The Institute, which supports the heritage community in this work, is recognized around the world for its technical skill in the science of conservation, in restoration, and in preventive conservation.
I would like to congratulate the Institute and everyone who believes in the importance of promoting our heritage. Your efforts are helping increase our knowledge of Canada, a vast country forged through a history rich in events, acts of bravery, and achievements large and small.
The Honourable James Moore
Director General's Message
The Canadian Conservation Institute's Annual Review for fiscal year 2010–2011 not only reports on our accomplishments but also highlights our work on some of Canada's most significant heritage collections and objects. These objects — concrete examples of Canada's history that reflect the country's diverse heritage — include a beaded pouch made by First Nations in the 1940s and 1950s and a painting by one of Canada's most important artists of the 19th century. In addition to the work done for objects and collections, we also contributed to the preservation of heritage interiors, including an historic house with exceptional 2nd Empire architecture built in 1882–1883, and Canada's Parliament Buildings, arguably the country's most significant heritage buildings. We also continued to address some of the present-day challenges facing Canada's heritage institutions: the preservation of digital heritage assets, and the identification and care of plastics in museum collections.
Examining the statistics, you can see that CCI increased the number of expert services provided to clients in Canada (by 60%) as well as the number of workshops delivered in all provinces and territories. The number of clients in Canada and internationally who have registered for our CCI e-News continued to grow as did the number of participants in our internship program — with 12 interns participating throughout the year, including 5 who came from France, Austria, and the United States as part of their conservation education programs.
Like most government organizations, including the Department of Canadian Heritage, CCI experienced budget reductions. While these exercises are always challenging, they help us focus on priorities such as protecting our ability to deliver conservation and conservation science expertise and services, basing decisions on becoming more effective and efficient, and improving ways to communicate with and disseminate information and advice to our clients. To support client needs, we also began the review and redesign of our website to ensure tools and learning materials are easily accessible, implemented a new approach to strengthen our client inquiry centre, and increased our capacity to gather and analyse business intelligence on the conservation needs of the heritage community in Canada.
Over the next year, CCI will continue to strengthen our professional development program, designing and implementing new workshops and advanced professional development courses. We will also host an international symposium Adhesives and Consolidants for Conservation: Research and Applications in the fall (October 17–21, 2011) to disseminate current practical and theoretical knowledge on the application of adhesives and consolidants in heritage conservation and to highlight CCI's leadership role in this area over the past 30 years.
Conscious of the economic situation, we will explore ways to help museum directors, conservators, and other professionals protect their collections, while reducing the energy costs associated with maintaining a museum environment.
Finally, 2012 represents a significant anniversary for CCI (which was created in 1972), as well as the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812. To mark these events, we will have a special edition of our magazine REFLECTIONS, and will feature the preservation of War of 1812 artifacts.

Research and development highlights
Characterization of Canadian amber: Canada is rich in amber deposits of varying geological age and type. The purpose of this research project was to characterize amber from sites across Canada The ability to distinguish amber from various locations will not only aid in understanding the organic geochemisty of the deposits, but will also be helpful in studying early decorative objects produced by First Nations using these materials. The results of this project will help archaeologists learn more about how this material was used and potentially traded by early Aboriginal peoples.
The chemical composition and maturity of the amber samples were determined using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC-MS). CCI scientists Jennifer Poulin and Kate Helwig found three distinct sub-classes in the Canadian amber deposits studied. Additionally, analysis determined that two deposit sites in Nunavut and one site in British Columbia contained a type of amber not described by the existing classification system. This new sub-class of amber is presently unique to Canada, and has been classified as Class Id.
Stability of optical discs and magnetic tapes: Preservation of digital materials has become a critical issue for archives, libraries, and other heritage institutions. This research project aims to determine which optical discs are of good quality and to verify claims made by manufacturers about their products. An important milestone was achieved this year with the completion of the experimental phase on accelerated aging. Experiments on disaster recovery have indicated considerable variability among discs, which may also exist in their longevity. After publishing results on the stability of CDs, CCI scientist Joe Iraci authored an article explaining the results and making recommendations about DVD formats ["The Stability of DVD Optical Disc Formats," Restaurator vol. 32, no. 1 (March 2011), pp. 39–59].
Accelerated aging of this DVD movie disc resulted in the degradation of the reflective metal layer in the inner portion of the disc. The integrity of this layer is critical for the DVD to be readable.
Accelerated aging of this DVD movie disc under conditions of elevated temperature and relative humidity caused deterioration of the metal layer in the form of circular holes.
Light damage calculator: Balancing the protection of heritage objects and works of art from light damage while enabling them to be seen by museum visitors can be a challenge. CCI conservation scientists Stefan Michalski and Eric Hagan have developed a light damage calculator that estimates colourant fading at a given light dose based on the best available data. This calculator will be available on the CCI website sometime during fiscal year 2011–2012. It will allow users to evaluate light deterioration by selecting colourants, exposure levels, and exposure durations of particular interest; faded colours will be presented as patches on the computer screen. The model will provide light-fading calculations in three different scenarios:
- fading of a single colourant
- fading of a single colourant compared in different scenarios
- fading of a collection of coloured objects
Thank you so much for giving an excellent lecture to my class in the Chemistry of Art and Archaeology. It was quite clear that they enjoyed your lecture and, to judge from the questions at the end, you may have changed some of their career ambitions.
University Teacher
I would like to take a moment to thank you for your excellent lecture at the 2011 Canadian Association for Conservation Conference on the new ASHRAE standards. I was relieved to hear the news of the new standard and its implications. (…) All in all, the news of the new standards came as a welcome relief.

Conservation and Treatment Services
Beaded pouch: The Maisie Hurley Collection comprises objects gifted to Mrs. Maisie Hurley by Aboriginal leaders in British Columbia and elsewhere, during the 1940s and 1950s, in recognition of her advocacy work for Aboriginal rights in Canada. CCI conservators treated a beaded pouch, one of many objects in the collection, now property of the North Vancouver Museum & Archives (NVMA) in North Vancouver, British Columbia. NVMA presented, in partnership with the Squamish Nation, a major new exhibition ("Txwnch7á ṁnew'as kwis eslihikwiws / Entwined Histories: Gifts from the Maisie Hurley Collection") from January through November, 2011.
The treatment of the beaded pouch necessitated multiple approaches:

This beaded pouch is one example of the many gifts Maisie Hurley received from the Aboriginal community in recognition for her advocacy work for Aboriginal rights in Canada. Dr. Sharon Fortney, co-curator of the exhibition with Damara Jacobs, explains that the exhibit reveals relationships that continue to be meaningful for the Squamish Nation. "The combined advocacy of the Squamish elders showcased in this exhibit, and non-native supporters, such as Maisie and Tom Hurley, enables the current generation to continue to build collaboration."
Miniature baby buggy: Object and textile conservators treated a miniature replica of a full-size baby buggy, hand-made by a professional carriage builder and property of the Royal Alberta Museum in Edmonton, Alberta.
The carriage was cleaned using a vacuum, dry brushing, and, where necessary, gentle washing with distilled water and non-ionic detergent. Flaking and lifting paint was consolidated with adhesive. A new wooden dashboard was made and inpainted to match the rest of the carriage, and broken and deformed structural elements were repaired.
The upholstery was vacuumed and dry brushed. Neutral-coloured fabric was also inserted under losses of the fabric on the seat cushion and under losses on the chair arms to reinforce these fragile areas and make them less visible when on display. Padding was inserted along the top of the proper right arm to restore it to its proper shape.

The Great Eastern at Heart's Content: The Great Eastern at Heart's Content is a painting from the archives of the Anglican Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador (NL). It depicts a pivotal event in Canada's pioneering role in the development of telecommunications technology, i.e. the arrival of the SS Great Eastern, July 27, 1866, at Heart's Content, NL on completion of the laying of the first underwater trans-Atlantic telegraph cable from its starting point in Valencia, Ireland. Fine Arts conservators addressed extensive surface abrasion and losses with retouching and revarnishing in stable, non-yellowing media.
Moccasin Seller Carrying Papoose: CCI's Fine Arts lab treated Moccasin Seller Carrying Papoose, a painting from the collection of the MacKenzie Art Gallery in Regina, Saskatchewan, by nationally renowned 19th-century Canadian artist Cornelius Krieghoff. In 2006, conservation scientists analysed a sample of the cloudy surface coating, which proved to be a co-polymer of methyl methacrylate and n-butyl acrylate — a modern coating. UV examination of the painting revealed that the background sky and part of the foreground had been entirely overpainted in a solvent-sensitive paint. Fine Arts conservators removed the overpaints and surface coating to reveal paint loss as well as a very heavy crack pattern. The decision was made to consolidate and then relax the paint layers and canvas back into plane without flattening the tacking margins. A jig was designed and built by the conservators to carry out this procedure. The painting has been secured to the original stretcher over a transparent solid support that allows the back of the painting to be seen, and to retain, as much as possible, its original characteristics. Some retouching and reintegration were also needed to restore the delicate beauty of Krieghoff's scene to its original appearance.

Burial cloths from Madagascar: A conservation scientist analysed two silk burial cloths from Madagascar (circa 1850–1899), from the collection of the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) in Toronto, Ontario, to identify the dyes. The cloths both feature vibrant colours and, based on their ages, may contain threads dyed with early synthetic dyes, such as mauveine. Analysis was performed using novel gas chromatograph-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) methodology. Dyes on the first cloth consisted of natural materials including indigo, safflower, turmeric, and tannins. These dyes were used individually and in mixtures to produce the magenta, blue, yellow, purple, burgundy, teal, and black colours of the cloth. Both natural and synthetic dyes were identified on the second cloth. The natural dyes were identified as indigo, turmeric, and tannins, and the synthetic dyes as diamond green (basic green 4), crystal violet (basic violet 3), and erythrosine (acid red 51). The dyes were detected individually and in mixtures on the silk threads to produce the aqua, pink, red, purple, green, blue, yellow, and black colours. Interestingly, both natural and synthetic dyes were detected on some threads. This unusual practice of mixing natural and synthetic dyestuff was likely a product of the dyeing time period, when the earliest vibrant synthetic dyes were being introduced and natural dyes remained in common use.

The akotifahana cloths of Madagascar come into museum collections through estate sales and dealers. Without knowing the specific dates these items were created, and in the absence of stylistic changes through time that would provide an indication of their age, they are extremely difficult to date precisely. Determining whether or not a cloth has natural or man-made dyes is, therefore, crucial for dating. CCI's ability to establish precise dates linked to the invention of certain types of dyes allowed the ROM to pinpoint more exactly the age of this cloth, and aided understanding of other similar collections around the world.
Madagascar Island lies between Africa and Eurasia, and has been at the crossroads of cloth trading for 2 millennia. Knowing the dye sources of this cloth has helped the ROM to pinpoint which nations (India or Arabia) influenced hand weaving on the island and brought them weaving supplies. Having one of the oldest collections of textiles from Madagascar, Canada contributes to these questions and to this field of knowledge.
Malépart de Beaucourt paintings: François Malépart de Beaucourt has been recognized as the first Canadian painter to have developed his technique in Europe. The materials of two of his paintings, one dated 1786 and the other 1787, were studied by CCI's Conservation Science Division. A comparison of the materials was of interest since recent research suggests that they were both painted in Saint Domingue (now Haiti), a location where there would have been a limited supply of artists' materials. The paintings, one in the collection of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and the other in the collection of the McCord Museum (both in Montreal, Quebec), were examined and sampled on site. Detailed information about the pigments, media, and layer structure of the paint was obtained. It was found that the materials of the two paintings were very similar.
Preventive Conservation
Survey of public art at the New Brunswick Centennial Building: The Province of New Brunswick is planning extensive renovations to the Centennial Building in Fredericton, which houses the offices of the Province of New Brunswick. The murals, mosaics, metal art assemblages, and wooden relief sculptures were commissioned for Canada's Centennial in 1967, and installed throughout the six-floor building. The artwork was executed by some of Canada's most prominent artists in the 1960s: John Hooper, Claude Roussel, Bruno Bobak, Jack Humphrey, Tom Forrestall, and Fred Ross.
CCI developed a plan to protect these artworks during the rehabilitation of the building. The plan addresses demolition risks, vibration, impact damage, dust and moisture, and changes to the indoor climate during renovations. In consultation with the New Brunswick Art Bank, CCI also provided costing, scope, and a process for the conservation treatment of this important public art collection, prior to Canada's 150th anniversary in 2017.
Relocation of monuments and chandeliers in the West Block of Parliament Hill: The CCI Heritage Interiors team is working with the Parliamentary Precinct Branch of Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) during the renovations of the West Block (originally called the Western Departmental Building) on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Ontario, a project that will last through to 2016. Renovations of these buildings will affect many different types of heritage objects, and CCI's expert services will help to ensure these significant heritage collections are protected.
When sculptures of the Right Honourable Sir Robert Borden and the Right Honourable John Diefenbaker were affected by the reconstruction of the West Block, CCI developed a plan to relocate them. By moving these commemorative statues of two former Canadian Prime Ministers to a new location behind the Library of Parliament (instead of moving them to storage as had been planned), they remain accessible to Canadians. The site selection options, soil testing, temporary concrete pad designs, granite plinth and statue relocation, and the hoisting operations were coordinated by CCI with the cooperation of the Parliamentary Precinct Branch of PWGSC and the assistance of professional stonemasons and carpenters.
CCI also worked to protect six monumental Regency-period chandeliers (1844). These chandeliers were originally commissioned for the Royal Assembly Rooms in Liverpool, England. Canada's Department of Public Works in London purchased them for the Confederation Room in the West Block in 1961. When the decision was made to return the Confederation Room to its original purpose, i.e. offices for parliamentarians, CCI disassembled, cleaned, and packed the chandeliers for their safe transport and storage prior to the decommissioning and demolition of the room.
The statue of Sir Robert Borden is moved from temporary storage to its new location behind the Library of Parliament.
The Borden statue is reinstalled on its reassembled plinth.
One of the chandeliers is inspected before being disassembled.
Once disassembled, the individual components of the chandelier are packed.
Risk assessment pilot project at Glanmore National Historic Site: Glanmore National Historic Site in Belleville, Ontario, built in 1882–1883, is an exceptional example of 2nd Empire architecture. CCI carried out its first comprehensive risk assessment at this historic house — a pilot project using methodology and tools that have been developed over the past few years in collaboration with the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM), based in Rome, and the Instituut Collectie Nederland (ICN), based in the Netherlands. The key risks to the collection were identified, and their severity was ranked based on the likelihood (or speed) of an event occurring, the loss of value that would result, and the amount of the collection that would be affected. Options were presented for addressing the most important risks, with an indication of their cost and cost-effectiveness. This report has allowed the heritage institution to identify its priorities, and to target those risks that are most likely to cause the greatest loss in collection value.
Glanmore National Historic Site, built in 1882–1883, is an exceptional example of 2nd Empire architecture.
Silverware in the dining room could eventually lose detail and inscriptions from annual polishing to remove tarnish buildup. Applying a lacquer coating would keep the silver tarnish-free and eliminate the need for regular polishing.
Inuit Heritage Trust Fly-In Conservator Program: Four Inuit Heritage Trust sites in Nunavut (Pond Inlet Archives and Nattinnak Visitor Center in Pond Inlet, and Unikkaarvik Visitors Centre and Nunatta Sunakutaangit Museum in Iqaluit) benefited from CCI's facility assessments and training se

Paradise resident Ronald Lancer, 43, was eastbound on Keefer Road in an Upstate Pest Management Inc. truck when, for an unknown reason, he went off the road just before 11 a.m., said California Highway Patrol Capt. Ryan Stonebraker.
Lancer was driving about 35 mph when it appears he overcorrected and overturned the truck. The vehicle landed on its roof on the north side of the road in the 3700 block of Keefer Road.
Lancer was trapped in the truck by his seat belt, but received assistance to get out, Stonebraker said. He was checked out by medics but was uninjured.
Wearing a seat belt can make a difference in whether someone is injured during a major accident like this one, Stonebraker said.
No other vehicles were involved. Keefer Road was reduced to one lane for about an hour.

Tour to support new rule involving long puttersBy DOUG FERGUSON
The Associated Press | July 02,2013
Keegan Bradley grips his club as he leaves the ball short for par on the 18th green during the third round of the Byron Nelson Championship golf tournament Saturday, May 18, 2013, in Irving, Texas. Bradley bogeyed the hole but leads the field heading into the final round at 13-under par. (AP Photo/Tony Gutierrez)JACKSONVILLE, Fla. The PGA Tour said Monday it would follow a new rule that bans the anchored putting stroke used by four of the last six major champions, asking instead Monday for a temporary reprieve for those who play the game for fun.
The announcement Monday after a PGA Tour board meeting is the final piece of confirmation from a major golf organization for Rule 14-1b, which will take effect Jan. 1, 2016 when the next Rules of Golf is published. The rule makes it illegal for players to attach the end of the club to their body when making a stroke.
Adam Scott used a long putter held against his chest when he won the Masters. Ernie Els (British Open) and Webb Simpson (U.S. Open) used a belly putter last year. Keegan Bradley in the 2011 PGA Championship was the first major champion with a belly putter.
The Royal & Ancient Golf Club and U.S. Golf Association proposed the new rule Nov. 28 and allowed for a three-month comment period. It formally adopted the rule May 21.
Finchem said in February the tour was opposed to the new rule because there were no data to suggest an advantage and no overriding reason to go down that road. The tours opinion was shaped by a players-only meeting earlier that month.
In making its decision, the policy board recognized that there are still varying opinions among our membership, but ultimately concluded that while it is an important issue, a ban on anchored strokes would not fundamentally affect a strong presentation of our competitions or the overall success of the PGA Tour, Finchem said in a statement.
The board also was of the opinion that having a single set of rules ... applicable to all professional competitions worldwide was desirable and would avoid confusion.
The decision to go along was not a surprise. The common ground by all sides was the importance of golf being played under one fundamental set of rules, as has been the case for hundreds of years.
The wrinkle that came out of the tours meeting was asking the R&A and USGA to give amateurs more time to adjust away from the anchored stroke. PGA of America president Ted Bishop was among those concerned that banning the stroke used for long putters would force too many people to quit the game out of frustration, at a time when golf is worried about decreasing participation.
The policy board continues to believe that extending the time period the ban would go into effect for amateurs would be beneficial for golf participation and the overall health of the game, Finchem said.
Finchem cited the USGA changing the groove configuration for irons in 2008. It was effective for elite play in 2010, but does not apply to recreational play until 2014.
But the decision on grooves was an equipment issue. Anchoring is a change in the actual rules of golf. For the USGA and R&A, which set the rules for the 600-year-old game, to allow amateurs more time to use anchored strokes would be created two sets of rules.
The PGA of America also said it would follow the new rule, while expressing concern about amateurs.
We continue to feel strongly that the amateur player needs a longer period of adjustment to this rule, Bishop said.
Neither Finchem nor Bishop recommended a date for amateurs.
Finchem also sounded a warning that the tour reserves the right to make its own rules for its players, and that the USGA pledged open and effective communication on any future discussions on the rules.
It is not inconceivable that there may come a time in the future when the policy board determines that a rule adopted by the USGA, including in the area of equipment, may not be in the best interests of the PGA Tour, and that a local rule eliminating or modifying such a USGA rule may be appropriate, he said.MORE IN Wire SportsMARTINSVILLE, Va.

Claude Julien isn't about to let his team think Stanley Cup finals yet
|05.20.11 at 2:55 pm ET
TAMPA — Despite a dominating defensive perfomance in Game 3 and watching his team record its first shutout of the playoffs, Bruins coach Claude Julien isn't letting his team think about what could be if they win their next two games. Julien was asked Friday if being two wins away from the team's first Stanley Cup finals appearance in 21 years provides motivation.
"We don't even talk about that, honestly," Julien said. "Right now, all we've talked about is how important a game tomorrow is for us. We don't want to live in the past. Yesterday was yesterday. [Saturday] is what we want to talk about. We want to live in the present. And today is about getting some good rest and making sure that tomorrow we're well rested, we've got the energy and the focus to do a job. That's what we've been doing since the start.
"And that's what's helped us get through it. The same thing in Montreal. We lost the first two games. We went to Montreal not thinking about the two losses but what we had to do that night. It's really helped us get through things, and that's what our guys are all about right now. So I don't have to worry about what you just asked, because we're not thinking that way."
The players would certainly appear to be heeding the message.
"You can't take any situation for granted," Milan Lucic said after Friday's mainly optional skate at St. Pete Times Forum. "You can't take any team for granted, and that's what we've done so well. We've got to keep being determined to push for more."
Lucic says there no need for reinforcement of Julien's message from veterans like Zdeno Chara, Mark Recchi or Tim Thomas.
"At this point, there's not much you can say," Lucic added. "You've got to know what needs to be done, and when they speak, you can learn a lot from them. They've done a great job leading the way so far, and hopefully they keep leading the way and staying vocal and getting us ready for every situation."
The Bruins play Game 4 against the Lightning Saturday afternoon at 1:30 at St. Pete Times Forum before returning to Boston for Game 5 Monday night in Boston.

The script may be buggy but IMHO it should not make Nmap segfault.
Also, this script worked fine in previous versions of Nmap, up to SVN

Finally, the problem is tricky. I can reproduce it when scanning many

Any help to improve the NSE script and/or make Nmap more robust would

Jimmie Johnson is a no-brainer for the upcoming Dover race in RotoExperts.com's latest fantasy NASCAR rundown, courtesy of NASCAR Editor Adam Ansell.
Donovan McNabb Pissed Off Every Race Fan In America When He Said Jimmie Johnson Wasn't An Athlete
What is an "athlete"? More over, what is an "asshole"? Commentator McNabb raised some important question of Fox Sports One. We try and answer them.
Assessing The Top Fantasy Drivers For Sunday's Kobalt Tools 400

What Happened Last Night: Danica Patrick Finished 8th At The Daytona 500, Lakers Edge Out The Mavericks
So, as you might've heard, our friends at RotoExperts and your trusty SportsGrid folk are combining forces. Okay, so this might not have happened last night, per se, but we figured we should probably tell some people.
Jimmie Johnson Won The Daytona 500: Time To Make The Donuts
Jimmie Johnson won the second Daytona 500 of his career today, defeating, among others past defending NASCAR champion Brad Keselowski and Danica Patrick, who finished eighth. You know what time it is…
Watch NASCAR Driver Brad Keselowski's Calm And Measured Profanity-Laced Tirade To The Media
Brad Keselowski might be the current leader of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series with one race remaining, but everything's not as peachy as you might think. Although Keselowski took the lead after Jimmie Johnson crashed in Phoenix on Sunday, he's been a target of criticism for Tony Stewart and others for racing too aggressively and having a "death wish." That didn't sit too well with Keselowski, especially after Sunday's crash-filled race. [Awful Announcing]
That Was Fast: Danica Patrick And Jimmie Johnson Crash At The Daytona 500 After… Two Laps
Well, it didn't take long for us to see the first crash of this evening's Daytona 500. This is what you get when you push the race to primetime, I suppose. In the second lap, the first lady of NASCAR, Danica Patrick, got into a wreck with five-time Cup Series champ Jimmie Johnson.
FOX Cuts To Audio Of Jimmie Johnson's Crew Chief, Who Promptly Drops An F-Bomb For The World To Hear

Jimmie Johnson Wins Fifth Straight Sprint Cup
Though Jimmie Johnson trailed Denny Hamlin in the Chase for the Cup going into Sunday's final race of the NASCAR season, it ended the same way it has the previous four years: with Johnson hoisting the Sprint Cup.
Senators Bitter That Congress Isn't Recognizing Sports Accomplishments Fast Enough
Only 11 percent of Americans told Gallup recently that they have confidence in the legislative body of this country. Because apparently that number isn't low enough, several Congressmen are spending their time talking arguing about this.

"This song is dedicated to every kid who ever got picked last in gym class."A common phenomenon in gym class. Whenever two captains are elected from a group of kids to pick teammates from the remaining kids (be it for dodgeball, basketball, baseball or any other team sport), the ones who are the least talented, most nerdy or simply staggeringly unpopular are always the ones left to pick from last, but a very special type of humiliation is always reserved for the very last kid remaining. "Picked Last" isn't even a fitting term for what this really entails as the kid isn't actually "picked" by a team but rather is forced to be taken by one because there's no one else left to pick from. This almost always happens to any Geek characters when the story focuses on a recreational activity. If this is supposed to be observed as a comedic event, it may be the fate of a Ridiculously Average Guy who is somehow less preferable to the geek, or, even more humiliating, that bit of Fridge Logic in the above paragraph is disregarded with the captains choosing players that aren't even supposed to be choices when only one kid is left; this may include adults or inanimate objects. Usually, this character may be The Woobie, especially if it's clear that he really likes the sport even though he may lack any real talent, effectively taking the fun out of the game for him when he's left to be Picked Last. In these cases, the character may be given a moment to shine in the spotlight by the end of the story by becoming a team captain for a day and getting to do the actual picking, by making a great play in the game, or even both. Sadly, this may be the one aspect of the trope's overall use in fiction that isn't Truth in Television.

The Seattle Seahawks may be a popular destination this offseason after winning the Super Bowl. Still, free agents are not going to play for free.
Jermichael Finley (formerly of the Green Bay Packers) is coming to town for a physical, and one has to assume that the Seahawks would be interested in offering him a contract. That is, assuming his neck can still stand the rigors of NFL life.
If the Seahawks go down this road, it might be prudent to think about a one-year, incentive-laden deal. Other teams may be willing to offer more, but the 'Hawks should be careful about signing a player that is 27 and coming off a major neck injury.
Finley is an intriguing possibility, and he would provide Russell Wilson with yet another weapon to go along with Percy Harvin and Golden Tate (if he re-signs). If Finley is signed it will be interesting to see if the Seahawks cut Zach Miller, particularly since Seattle just re-signed Anthony McCoy.
There is also the possibility of drafting a tight end, rather than going with veteran players that have injury questions. Granted, the Seahawks may not want to rely too much on young players. Luke Willson caught 20 balls as a rookie, and hopefully he is ready to take his game to the next level.
It is fair to suggest that Finley is a measured risk. However, the Seahawks may be in a position where they can afford to take a few chances.

Lone Pine claims the Quebec moratorium is an "arbitrary, capricious, and illegal revocation of [its] valuable right to mine for oil and gas." The firm says the government acted "with no cognizable public purpose," even though there is broad public support for a precautionary moratorium while the environmental impacts of fracking are studied. Milos Barutciski, a lawyer with Bennett Jones LLP, who is representing Lone Pine in the arbitration, described the moratorium as a "capricious administrative action that was done for purely political reasons – exactly what the NAFTA rights are supposed to be protecting investors against." It may seem unbelievable but this lawyer may be correct that Lone Pine's right under NAFTA to make a profit is more important than the right of communities to say no to destructive and environmentally dangerous resource projects.
In June 2011 a European Parliament resolution on the EU–Canada negotiations stated that, "given the highly developed legal systems of Canada and the EU, a state-to-state dispute settlement mechanism and the use of local judicial remedies are the most appropriate tools to address investment disputes." In July that year, the Commission's own Sustainability Impact Assessment of CETA came to the same conclusion, recommending a state-to-state dispute process only.
The proposal is clearly not just any proposal. On both sides, many other cross-sector business groups explicitly support the proposal or suggest a similar approach in their contributions to the official consultations on TTIP, including BDI (German Industry Association), Confederation of British Industry, Coalitions of Services Industries, British American Business, National Foreign Trade Council, Roundtable on Trade and Competition, Transatlantic Business Council, National Association of Manufacturers, Eurometaux and the United States Council for International Business. Some, notably the Competitive Enterprise Institute, take a step further and demand that businesses are able to choose freely which set of standards and regulations they will apply.
On top of this, 30 business associations, including most of the aforementioned, have written a common letter to the US Trade Representative and to Commissioner de Gucht's department to stress the importance of a system of "regulatory cooperation". They include sectoral lobby groups from the chemicals industry, car industry, the financial sector, biotechnology, pharmaceutical industry and many more. They point to the existing structures on regulatory dialogue, the High Level Regulatory Cooperation Forum, and assert that they "can be made much more effective and should include enhanced opportunities for dialogue with stakeholders".
Agricultural policy in the EU differs from that in the US in that agriculture in the EU is meant to
be sustainable, have multiple functionality and not only serve food production. In Europe, there are
also many small structured agricultural landscapes, which are unlikely to benefit economically from
practices such as streamlining herbicide applications, which are an issue in the US.The EU also has different rules and regulations on risk assessment and labelling to those in the
US. EU regulations require a centralised system for risk assessment and market authorisation of all
genetically engineered organisms. Labelling is mandatory for food and feed derived from genetically
engineered crop plants……These regulations request that:›› the precautionary principle has to be observed in release or market authorisation of genetically
engineered organisms,›› all genetic engineered organisms have to undergo risk assessment before they can be allowed for
marketing,›› food and feed which are derived from genetically engineered organisms have to be labelled.An important element in this regard is Regulation 178/2002, which states that the precautionary
principle can be applied in cases where there is scientific uncertainty in order to provide a high level of
protection for human health and the environment. As Article 7 reads:
"In specific circumstances where, following an assessment of available information, the possibility of harmful
effects of health is identified but scientific uncertainty persists, provisional risk management measures
necessary to ensure the high level of health protection chosen in the Community may be adopted, pending
further scientific information for a more comprehensive risk assessment"Also according Directive 2001/18, the precautionary principle is the basis of risk analysis prior to
allowing deliberate release or a market authorisation of genetically engineered organisms (Article 1
of Dir. 2001/18). Thus, the precautionary principle is of particular relevance for uncertainties in risk
assessment where there is no evidence of a hazard but there are remaining doubts about the safety of
genetically engineered organisms. (pp. 5, 29)
Priorities include introducing insect-resistance and herbicide-tolerance into wheat, barley, oil seed rape,
soybean, potato, vegetable brassicas and other horticultural crops. (p. 30)
Even if stringent application of the precautionary principle had been justifiable in the early days of GM
crop research and development when there were more uncertainties about impact, it is difficult to defend
the merits of retaining a rigid, cautious, technology-specific regulation today when there is much less
uncertainty. (p. 31)
If the opinion of EASAC´s experts is adopted in new regulations this would mean:›› replacing the precautionary principle with a system that will only accept evidence of adverse effects
as a trigger for regulatory measures;›› abolishing regulations for centralised registration and risk assessment covering all genetically engineered
organisms;›› abolishing comprehensive and mandatory labelling of genetically engineered organisms and products
thereof and leading to less transparency and less choice for farmers and consumers.EASAC also wants to exclude new technologies in the context of synthetic genome technologies
from any regulation:"(…) here is need for urgent action to agree the status and regulation of New Breeding Techniques and,
in particular, to confirm which products do not fall within the scope of legislation on genetically modified
organisms." (p. 31-2)
These lobbying activities are accompanied by statements from various sides pretending that so far no
evidence for damage caused by genetically engineered organisms has been produced and that "consensus"
should exist that these products are safe. Anne Glover who was appointed as Chief Scientific
Adviser to the President of the European Commission in 2011 is one of the most vocal protagonists
amongst those denying specific risks :"There is no substantiated case of any adverse impact on human health, animal health or environmental
health, so that's pretty robust evidence, and I would be confident in saying that there is no more risk in
eating GMO food than eating conventionally farmed food,"It has to be assumed that the extremely biased position of Glover, who is Manuel Barroso's first ever
Chief Scientific Adviser, mirrors the position of the majority of the EU Commission.Such lobbying activities are showing initial results: The EU Commission unofficially announced that
there will be an expert discussion on whether the precautionary principle should still be applied to
genetically engineered plants. (p. 34)

Zopo ZP950 Max 5.7" HD Phablet Review
Now days, we're getting more and more Android phones, in which most of them are affordable. Likewise, Zopo Mobiles have brought out a new Android powered smartphone, the Zopo ZP950 Max at an affordable price. Ok, I'm not saying it's affordable. First you examine it and then let me know, whether it's affordable or not. The new Zopo ZP950 Max is an advanced version of Zopo ZP900. It's a new flagship product from Zopo Mobiles that brings bigger 5.7-inch display, latest Jelly Bean OS, a dual core processor, a better camera, and many more.
What you'll find inside the box?
Anyways, you're going to get a big packet here. Its sale box will include the 5.7-inch Zopo phablet, you also get a travel charger for your traveling convenient, an USB data cable for transferring your data, a headphone for music lovers, a 2500mAh battery, and as usual an user manual.
Display & Design
The handset (no it's not a handset!), the phablet has a big 5.7-inch HD IPS TFT multi-touch capacitive screen that with 1280 x 720 pixels resolution and support 16 million colors. Anyone will love to play games, watch movies, and preview photos with a bigger screen like this. But only disadvantage is, it has a too big display for a smartphone. It might be difficult for you to hold the phablet with one hand but it's nice to play games especially for me, because I hold with two hands when I play games in mobiles. Most importantly, its IPS panel makes the display to view sharper and clearer contents. It's quite thin and lightweight, even with a big display. Its body dimensions are 83.4 x 158 x 10.2mm and weigh about 202 grams with battery. It has a signing back panel, where you can find its speaker and 8MP camera. On its right side you'll find two buttons; one for volume up & down and other for lock.
How powerful the Zopo ZP950 Max is?
Processor: Under the hood you will find an ARMv7 dual core Cortex-A9 processor that clocked 1GHz and based on MTK MT6577 chipset. But expected come with a quad core version in 2013 too. Even more the phablet is boasted by a POWER VR SGX531T graphics processor unit inside it.
Memory: You will be satisfied with 4GB of internal storage and 1GB of RAM, though it's enough. Furthermore you can also go up to 32GB external memory by using a MicroSD card.
OS: You can experience the Google's Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean operating system inside it, though there is no further plan to upgrade v4.2.
Battery: It has a Li-Polymer 2500mAh battery pack that can let you to go up to a week of standby i.e. around 130-200 hours.
Camera & Multimedia
It packs a nice 8MP snapper at rear with auto-focus and LED flash. The camera has the capability to capture videos in 720P (1280 x 720) at 30FPS and can also able to playback 1080P (1920 x 1080) videos. In addition, it also comes with a front-facing camera of 2MP. The phablet supports MP4/3GP/MOV/MPEG/MKV/FLV, etc as video formats, and compatible with MP3/AMR/AAC/ASF/Ape/Flac audio files. You can also view JPEG/PNG/GIF/BMP images files on its 5.7-ich display.
It's a dual SIM (WCDMAGSM+GSM) supported device with dual standby capability that can work on GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz 2G networks and WCDMA HSPDA 3G networks. It can deliver HSDPA 7.2Mbps and HSUPA 5.76Mbps. Other connectivity options are; WiFi 802.11 b/g/n with hotspot and tethering functionality. It also comes equipped with Bluetooth v3.0, GPS with A-GPS, and micro USB v2.0.
Apps & Other features
As it's an Android smartphone, so you can find a bunch of apps inside it along with the advantages of download from Google Play Store. The handset come Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Skype, Google Maps, Google Talk, Google Mail, Google Calendar, etc. In addition, the handset supports Gravity Sensor, Light sensor and proximity sensor plus digital compass too.
Is Zopo ZP950 Max affordable as compared to its features?
The Phablet is priced at Rs. 15,999, though it looks slight expensive at first glance but its features say something else. Zopo Mobiles previous model is currently available at the same Rs. 15,999/- with many low end features than ZP950 Max. But its price might be dropped within few days after the new one launched. There is also another similar range smartphone available in the market, called the Wammy Sensation but its features don't looks quite impressive against the new Zopo ZP950 Max. So, all the way you're going to pay for a big 5.7-inch phablet which comes with an advanced OS, better processor, great camera, and much more.
Even more ZOPO CTO Ken has confirmed that, they are also planning for a quad core version, but in 2013. So, it's obvious that dual core version is going to be more affordable in near feature when the quad core version will be arrived the market. It's currently available over Zopo India website for preorder and will be available in India from 15th December.
