TV Rosie Quits
posted by May 25 at 17:56 PMon
Rosie O'Donnell quit The View today, three weeks before her contract was up. Rosie was the most compelling thing on television—and the best thing to happen to The View since old-what's-her-face caught a football with her kisser. With Rosie on board, ratings were up, and The View suddenly mattered—particularly to right-wing pundits. Who's going to bitch slap that fucking moron Elisabeth Hasselbeck now?

Version 1.2 allows developers to add 'property-node transformers', which are used by BeanReader while reading an XML file to dynamically alter the XML nodes corresponding to a bean property as they are read, before they are used to extract the value of that property.
Property-node transformers can be made by subclassing PropertyNodeTransformer or by using XSLTPropNodeTransformer along with a stylesheet.
BeanReader 1.1 has been released.
Version 1.1 differs from 1.0 (the previous version) in these ways:
New Features-
1. Support has been added for multi-valued bean properties whose type
is primitive (i.e., int, float, etc.) or String.
2. Support has been added for multi-valued bean properties that use
java.util.List or java.util.Set to store their values.
Bug Fixes-
1. A bug was squashed that caused objects that are referred to in the
XML document multiple times to be created multiple times.
BeanReader 1.0 has been released. It works but needs to be bug-tested. Javadoc for it will be put up at htp://beanreader.sourceforge.net.

For expample if I have an image that appears normal, the thumbnail will be zoomed in and chops off a head. I understand that it centres the image in some way but can I override this and move the image to what I think looks best?

Senate candidates campaign in Henderson County
Published: Tuesday, September 2, 2008 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 2, 2008 at 12:29 a.m.
Sen. Elizabeth Dole and state senator Kay Hagan brought their U.S. Senate race to Hendersonville on Monday. The two participated in the annual King Apple Parade, waving to the crowd and trying to drum up support for their campaigns.
Im thrilled to be here, Hagan, a Democrat, said just before the parade.
Dole, a Republican, stood on top of the Henderson County Republican float during the parade, perched on top of the political world. She has strong name recognition and a well-funded campaign.
I love it, Dole said of coming to Apple Country. I chose Hendersonville as my office. We have a Senate office right here.
Hagan knows she faces a tough battle against Dole but said she is up to the challenge.
That is why I have been campaigning so hard, Hagan said. I have been all over the state. I have a great field team. I have great staff.
Dole said she has moved North Carolina forward. A lot of the work she has done, Dole said, is not highly publicized but has helped people in the state. She said she worked to keep Ft. Bragg from being downsized and brought $4 billion into the state with the tobacco buyout.
I want to be positive, because I think it is important to focus on what you have done and what you want to do, Dole said.
Hagan said a lot of North Carolina residents believe Dole is out of touch with the state. She said some people she has spoken with believe Dole does not pay enough attention to local residents.
I think they have learned that they havent seen Libby Dole in the last six years, Hagan said. Right now, obviously in the last several months, she has been out campaigning. We all think it is because it is an election year. People are wanting somebody who represents North Carolina every day, every week, every month of every year. And I think they have seen that as a problem.
Hagan has pressed the issue hard with tough television ads. She has attacked Dole for going along with the Bush administration over 90 percent of the time and for not pushing effective legislation.
I am running a modern campaign, Hagan said. We are doing paid media. We are doing grass-roots. We have volunteer operators all over the state now. I am running a modern campaign.
Dole does not see it that way. She said she has worked hard for North Carolina and gone against the Bush administration. She cited a Bush Administration rule, which she opposed, designed to cut Medicaid.
It would have hurt the public hospitals we are trying to help, Dole said.
Several organizations recently voted her one of the most effective senators, Dole said. She said she fought to help textile companies compete in a global environment and is sponsoring a $50 billion bond bill to repair the countrys infrastructure. Dole added that she is working to increase energy production in the country and reduce the cost of gas.
We are working on those issues right now, Dole said. I want everything on the table, including the kitchen sink. That means we have got to drill. It means we need alternative sources of energy. We need to conserve more energy. All of it needs to be in a comprehensive policy.
Hagan believes Dole has not pressed the energy issue enough and has not worked hard enough to craft comprehensive energy legislation.
There is a bill in Congress sponsored by the gang of ten, Hagan said. If I was there, it would have been the gang of eleven. And I wonder why Libby Dole hasnt signed onto it. Six other senators signed onto it this week. It is a comprehensive energy policy. We are five Republicans and five Democrats.
The race appears to be in Doles favor but some polls have shown Hagan up by a few points. The Democratic National Committee has targeted the race and is pumping million of dollars in the state to support Hagan.

I'm really over protective and have anxiety.
So I was trying to talk to my mom about it and she doesn't understand. She thinks I'm being mean or as she called me a "snob". I tried to explain that my little brothers and everything don't have to be up there that ill just get stressed out but no! She still doesn't listen. It is my l&d but it doesn't feel like my concerns are being consitered.

Vick Pleads Guilty to Federal Dogfighting Charges
News Headlines: Aug. 27, 2007
USA Today: Vick Formally Enters Guilty Plea — "In a court hearing that lasted just under 20 minutes Monday, Michael Vick entered a guilty plea to a conspiracy charge related to a federal dogfighting investigation that could send the Atlanta Falcons quarterback to prison for a year or more."
Update: Vick Apologizes, Asks for Forgiveness
Read the text version of Vick's apology.

Vick's apology showed someone of a contrite spirit. I would have questioned his remorse if I had seen him reading from a previously written script.
That been said, I know he still has to face the consequence of his actions and I think the 12 to 18 months sentence is fair. I hope the tough judge presiding over this case could get over his reputation and give a fair sentence regardless of his personal feelings over the matter.
If there is anything good about the Michael Vick story, it is that there is an emerging increased awareness about animal cruelty and animal fighting. There is so much anger about this issue. If we channel it into a positive direction, hopefully, something good can come of it. However...
I watched Vick's public apology with my little son who USED TO wear Michael Vick jerseys to school. It is disturbing to think a certain percentage of the population is honestly going to be swayed by Michael Vick's "enlightenment" carefully crafted by his overpaid attorneys. Call me a cynic, but I don't believe a man who has been allegedly torturing animals since childhood coincidentally has a religious epiphany as a result of getting caught and losing his job. I hope I am wrong.
I think it is a sad commentary that we, as a culture, are using the Vick story to compare "What's worse?" "What's worse", we ask, "carelessly fathering illegitimate children, or dogfighting?". "Dogfighting or gambling?" "Dogfighting or rape?" "Dogfighting or racism?" "Dogfighting or hateful nationalism?" "Dogfighting or (fill in the blank)....?" The comparisons to dogfighting have been endless.
Dogfighting is one more piece of evidence our country is in need of a spiritual transformation (please note I said spiritual and not necessarily religious). Animals are sentient beings - they feel pain, and they suffer, just like we do. They are not more important, or less important than human beings, but like human beings, they are important, too.
Dogfighting pits one dog against another until one of them dies. The survivor gets his flesh torn off, ears ripped off, eyes pulled out, etc., and the reward for being "a winner" is to writhe in pain until the next fight. Enough said. The pictures make my flesh crawl. The losers are tortured, beaten, starved, electrocuted or drowned. For what? Because these poor creatures were unlucky enough to be born a dog!
Every major faith teaches its followers to be responsible stewards of animals and the Earth. Please help us get the word out that caring for animals, just like caring for people, is an important part of just being a decent person and citizen. If we make this a priority, there will be no more dogfighting horror stories, and no more pointless comparisons of evils. Let us all rise, together, to be better people than we are today, shall we?

Police say they arrested the man who caused several thousand dollars worth of damage at Nazarene Bible College. Jeffrey Sweatt is now facing charges.
Cops were called out after a security guard said he could hear someone running around inside the building on the 1100 block of Academy Loop near S. Academy and Fountain Blvd.
When an offiver arrived, he says he could see the man running down the hallway swinging an object at overhead lights. The sergeant contacted the suspect from outside the glass doors that were locked and held the suspect there until other officers arrived. Officer Adam Wheeler arrived, got inside the building and arrested the suspect.
Police say Sweatt entered the building through a ground floor window.
Investigators say that he also hit another building on campus.

I have used this pan to make pound cakes and it performed perfectly. The cakes baked evenly and released with no problems. Clean up was a snap. I am always happy with Wilton products.
This is a pan that everyone needs to have, even if you only use is every few months. This was a great choice.
I have been making angel food cakes in a regular straight sided bundt pan but have had a devil of a time getting them out. This is perfect!
I bought this pan as a replacement for the one my husband destroyed with a scouring pad. The first one was a jewel and I expect this one to be the same.
I saw a review on another site and they hated it. I trusted the brand and decided to get this one and am not disappointed. The quality is much higher than one I had years ago.
Wanted old fashion cake pan could not find
Any place. Found it online at walmart

Banks See Emerging-Market Rally as 'Cheap' Stocks Lure Ashmore
Strategists and money managers at some of the biggest banks and investment firms are forecasting gains for emerging-market stocks next year, driven by low valuations and signs that governments will act to boost growth.
Morgan Stanley's Jonathan Garner lifted his recommendation to "maximum overweight" for the first time since October 2008, according to a report today. Citigroup Inc.'s Markus Rosgen said Asian stocks may surge 30 percent, while Credit Suisse Group AG's Sakthi Siva predicted 10 percent gains. Antoine van Agtmael, who coined the term "emerging markets" in 1981 and now oversees $7.4 billion at Ashmore EMM LLC, said the stocks are "cheap." Pacific Investment Management Co.'s Masha Gordon has been buying equities most reliant on economic growth.
"Emerging markets as a group are now as attractive as I have seen them on both a historic and comparative basis at any time in the last 25 years," van Agtmael, a former World Bank official and author of "The Emerging Markets Century," said in a Nov. 29 phone interview. "I see 2012 in emerging markets as a year of positive investment returns, positive economic growth and positive earnings growth."
Investor confidence in developing-country equities is increasing as central banks from China to Brazil loosen monetary policy to shield their economies from Europe's debt crisis and high U.S. unemployment. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index is valued at 9.5 times profit forecasts for the next 12 months, a 17 percent discount to the five-year average, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The 21-country gauge has climbed 9.4 percent this week, paring this year's retreat to 17 percent.
China Cuts
The People's Bank of China cut reserve requirements for lenders by half a percentage point to 21 percent on Nov. 30, the first reduction since 2008. Brazil's central bank lowered its benchmark interest rate for the third time since August at a meeting the same day, while Thailand reduced borrowing costs, the first cut in more than two years.
The MSCI index may climb to 1,210 by the end of next year, according to Garner, the chief Asia and emerging-market strategist at Morgan Stanley in Hong Kong. That's 26 percent higher than its level of 961.93 at 11:50 a.m. London time.
Investors should hold 10 percent more emerging-market equities than are represented in benchmark weightings and cut cash allocations to zero, Garner wrote in a note. He recommended the biggest emerging-market companies by market value, stocks with high and growing dividends and gold producers. MSCI index profits may grow 9 percent in dollar terms next year, he said.
Emerging-market stocks "remain in an earnings-driven secular bull market," Garner said.
Recession Valuations
Central banks in Asia will keep easing monetary policy as inflation subsides, boosting shares of banks and real-estate companies, Rosgen, a Hong Kong-based equity strategist at Citigroup, wrote in a report dated yesterday. When stock valuations fell this low during the past 36 years, shares were higher after 12 months 92 percent of the time, according to Rosgen.
"The risk-reward has seldom been better," he said.
Equity valuations in Asia are "pricing in" a recession in developed economies, though not a financial crisis, according to Siva, Credit Suisse's global emerging-market and Asia strategist in Singapore. She said the MSCI All-Country Asia ex-Japan Index will end next year at 527, compared with the current level of 478.73, according to a research report today.
'Defensive Bias'
China may cut banks' reserve ratio by as much as three percentage points in the next 12 months, Masha Gordon, the head of emerging markets equity portfolio management at Pimco, which oversees about $1.35 trillion worldwide, said in an interview yesterday. Inflation in the country may slow to between 3 percent and 4 percent from 5.5 percent in October, she said.
Gordon has been buying raw-materials producers and Chinese industrial companies after they posted some of the world's biggest declines this year. Her PIMCO EqS Emerging Markets Fund still has a "defensive bias" and is using options to hedge against potential "extreme" market declines.
While there's a chance that Europe's sovereign-debt crisis may drag the world economy into recession, it's not the most likely scenario because policy makers will act to restore confidence, according to Ashmore's van Agtmael.
Global equities rose today, poised for the biggest weekly advance in three years, after German Chancellor Angela Merkel renewed her push for European fiscal union. U.S. payrolls probably climbed by 125,000 in November after rising 80,000 in October, economists said before today's Labor Department report.
Developing economies may expand 6.1 percent as a group next year, compared with 1.9 percent growth in advanced countries, according to September forecasts by the Washington-based International Monetary Fund.
"I place my bets on the view that global growth will be anemic but that we're not going to have a 2008-like crisis," van Agtmael said. "Things look cheap relative to fair long-term value."

I am attempting to run multiple systems at once one ONE computer all at the same time. Is this at all possible? my knowledge of computers and technology is limited, but to give you a little more insight i will explain the situation. I am trying to run a single program multiple times on one computer, but the program restricts you to only being able to open it once at a time. I figured if i could split up, or partition my hard drive, than it could maybe run multiple systems at once, and maybe it would let me run one of these programs on each system. I am also trying to get each of these systems to each work from a different IP. I thought maybe setting up a VPN on each system might work after i have it all split up, but again my knowledge of this technology is very limited. If there is any other way to achieve this goal or anything close please mention it. My main goal is being able to open this program multiple times on one computer and have each running from a different IP. If this is not possible please explain why.
You can use a Virtual Machine (VM, for short). A good software for this is Oracle VM Virtual Box, which is free and fairly easy to use. If you want commercial software, there's VMWare Workstation, which offers additional features.
When you create a VM you can control its properties and hardware allocation, such as number of CPU cores available for the VM, RAM (memory) allocation, storage on disk and so on. When you power on the Virtual Machine you can install any operating system, like Linux and Windows. You can connect the VM to the internet and share files between your physical machine and the VM, and so on. Both programs are available to all major operating systems.
Here's a screenshot from Oracle VM Virual Box running Windows XP on a Windows 7 environment:
If you're just looking to run multiple instances of a program that only lets you have one, then a virtual machine may be overkill. Unless you've got gobs of RAM, you won't be able to run more than a couple VM instances before you run into memory problems.
I would recommend creating multiple user accounts. You could then do a runas under each account's credentials. Most programs running under the context of one user cannot detect another instance of themselves running under another user's account.

Lady Terriers use three-run sixth inning to take out Lutcher, 6-5
Published: Thursday, March 30, 2006 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 30, 2006 at 11:53 a.m.
HOUMA -- The Vandebilt Catholic softball team came back to beat Lutcher in nondistrict action on Wednesday at Lady Terrier Diamond.
Three runs in the bottom of the sixth inning helped give the Lady Terriers (21-6-1) the 6-5 victory.
"Im proud of how we came back twice to win the game," Vandebilt coach Margaret Johnson said. "We showed some characteristics of a team that can go far. If we can put it together, the skys the limit."
Vandebilt scored first in the bottom of the first inning when Lindsey Martinez scored Kristin Domangue singled and an error followed for a 1-0 Vandebilt lead.
Meagan Price then came home on a bases-loaded single by Kacey Clark (2-for-3, double), and the Lady Terries led 2-0. But Lutcher tied the game at 2 in the top of the second inning.
Vandebilt took a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the fourth inning after Lauren Crane doubled and scored on a hit by Lindsey Martinez.
But with two runs in the fifth inning and another in the sixth inning, Lutcher led 5-3. Then came the Vandebilt sixth inning.
A two-base error allowed Maddie Constant and Crane to score, then Lauren Martinez (3-for-3) also scored when a ball of the bat of Lindsey Martinez was misplayed. Price worked six innings for Vandebilt, but Crane had to work the seventh inning after Price was injured at the plate in the bottom of the sixth inning.
"Lutcher is a well-coached team," Johnson said. "I was impressed with how they swung the bats aggressively. It took Lutcher to score some runs before we started to play the way we know how."
Lutcher coach Blake Orgeron declined comment following the game.

Wow, that is impressively slow!
Have you tried the old standard of flashing a newer BIOS from your manufacturer?
To me it looks like some conflict with either the processor or graphics card and I suspect a BIOS update might fix it as I've had some different problems with mobos and graphics cards in the past.
Rewatching the video I really would vote for finding the latest BIOS and flashing it, it could be that you have the latest i5 processor and your machine needs an update in order to support it fully.
Been trying to remember what I can about the newer i5 processors and one thing I can think of is that the latest and greatest have a graphics processor on-chip (not on-die tho) with the cpu which could be causing conflicts with the P55 as it may not be aware of the possibility of an on-chip graphics controller. In order for the on-chip graphics to work I think you need an H57 based chipset. If you have one of these i5s I would expect a BIOS update to the mobo to fix the compatability issue and disable the on-chip graphics in favour of mobo or dedicated graphics.
Going back between the video and Gigabyte I would suggest you grab the F8 version of your motherboard BIOS and install it, the video suggests you have the F5 version. It looks like your processor is supported by the version you have but it may be that there is something else that the update will fix.
Otherwise have you tried resetting your BIOS to defaults and seeing if that helps?
Hey guys...Luke asked this question on my behalf. Finally found a fix. The video card needed to be in the 'master' PCI slot. I had it in the bottom one but switched it to the top and it boots fine. POST screen is only up for maybe 2 seconds now.
Can't believe I didn't try it earlier. It's kinda strange that the mobo has a preference on which PCI slot to use. Didn't see it mentioned in the manual.
Really appreciate all your help and suggestions. Can finally enjoy my new build. :)
I had a similar issue a while back that wasn't resolved. Maybe some of those suggestions will help you.
"See if the cpu cache is disabled in the bios."
"Strip the computer to the bare essentials--remove all the add-in cards, drives, etc, until it's basically CPU, minimal RAM, and oh, a floppy or something. If it's still slow, switch the floppy for a CD. Test the RAM in another machine. Test the video card in another machine. Swap power supplies. Basically, isolate the problem. If it's not slow, add items back in until it is. The last item added is either bad or has a conflict with an earlier item."
And finally, "Generally when a BIOS runs slow like that it indicates hardware damage--probably a short circuit, bad capacitors, or a chip was fairly close to letting the smoke out due to overheating."
Hope this helps!
Do you have any USB storage devices attached?
I had a problem with a pc a while ago where USB Legacy was enabled, with a 1TB external hdd plugged in. For some reason it would spend ages looking at that hdd and setting up USB Legacy. All I had to do was either unplug the hdd during bootup, or disable USB Legacy.
Simple solution, but its easily overlooked. I know it took me a few boots to realize what it was doing.

House Panel Planning Vote on Consumer-Protection Agency
WASHINGTON -- House Financial Services Committee staff are tentatively scheduling a vote Sept. 23 for a bill that would create a new agency to police mortgages, credit cards and other financial products marketed to consumers, people familiar with the panel's planning said.
The creation of a Consumer Financial Protection Agency, a central element of the White House's broader effort to overhaul financial-market rules, has emerged as a flashpoint in the broader debate. The banking industry, many Republicans and several Democrats have questioned whether such an agency might actually make it harder for consumers to obtain credit and create too many levels of bureaucracy for banking.
The White House and Democrats such as House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank and Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd have said establishing such an agency is vital to prevent some of the mortgage practices that fueled the buildup to the housing crisis over the past several years. It would try to ensure that financial products offered by banks and unregulated finance companies follow federal law, and it would allow states to pass even tougher provisions.
Mr. Frank, of Massachusetts, had hoped to vote on the measure by July, but intense opposition and scheduling conflicts forced him to push the vote back.
A successful vote in the House panel, while expected, could breathe new life into the administration's efforts to toughen supervision of finance. But if a handful of Democrats break from their party and vote with Republicans in the committee, it could make it very hard for Democrats to push the entire package through Congress by the end of the year.
A spokesman for Mr. Frank said the panel hadn't set a final date for the vote yet.
The House panel is planning to vote on individual pieces of the plan before holding votes on the House floor. The Senate is expected to move later this year and could vote on the entire package at once.

Local polynomial modelling is a useful tool for nonlinear time series analysis. For nonlinear regression models with martingale difference errors, this paper presents a simple proof of local linear and local quadratic fittings under apparently minimal short-range dependence condition. Explicit formulae for the asymptotic bias and asymptotic variance are given, which facilitate numerical evaluations of these important quantities. The general theory is applied to nonparametric partial derivative estimation in nonlinear time series. A bias-adjusted method for constructing confidence intervals for first-order partial derivatives is described. Two examples, including the sunspots data, are used to demonstrate the use of local quadratic fitting for modelling and characterizing nonlinearity in time series data.

An Overview and Evaluation of Composite Indices of Development

Rent the article at a discountRent now
* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
The search for alternative indicators of development has witnessedthe development of a variety of composite indices of development. Theseindices integrate various social, political and economic aspects ofdevelopment in measurement. This paper presents an overview andevaluation of composite indices of development in terms of certain broaddimensions of measurement. In terms of method and technique, compositeindices are generally additive ones with equally weighted componentsconsisting of variables selected in an ad hoc manner. Numerouscriticisms have been leveled at these methods employed in compositeindexing. Composite indices are mainly quantitative insofar as theindices are all presented in numerical format. Composite indices aresubject to subjectivity despite the relative objectivity of the methodsemployed in composite indexing. Composite indices are of a cardinalnature, but remain ordinal insofar as differences in index values cannotbe interpreted meaningfully. The multidimensionality of compositeindices represents one of their main advantages. Indices representaggregate measures of a combination of complex development phenomena.The comparative application of composite indices of development overspace and time remains problematic. Composite indices generally combinemeasures of ends and means. In respect of method and technique,composite indexing is relatively complex. Composite indices arerelatively flexible, because changes in selection, scaling, weightingand aggregation can be effected readily, albeit at the cost ofcomparability. Composite indices perform relatively well in terms ofcross-national availability, but few indices perform well in terms ofinter-temporal availability. On the strength of the systematic positiveassociation between income and popular composite indices such as theHDI, many have claimed that these indices represent no real contributionto the literature on indicators research. Composite indices,furthermore, are often considered to be ideological statements ratherthan practically functional indicators. Yet, composite indices representuseful supplements to income-based development indicators. These indicesremain invaluable in terms of their ability to simplify complexmeasurement constructs, to focus attention and to catch the eye, thusenhancing their political appeal.

text: An Assembly panel approved today bipartisan legislation sponsored by the 16th District delegation Sen. Christopher "Kip" Bateman and Assembly members Jack M. Ciattarelli and Donna Simon to dedicate the U.S. Route 206 bypass in Hillsborough to the late Assemblyman Peter J. Biondi. "Peter Biondi dedicated his life to public service for the persisting benefit of our state, as he supported and mentored many young political candidates," said Sen. Christopher "Kip" Senator Bateman, R-Somerset, Hunterdon, Mercer and Middlesex. "We should commemorate this gregarious, loving family man, who also dedicated his life to improving State, Somerset County and Hillsborough, as well as volunteering on youth service committees and serving as a firefighter." The Assembly Transportation, Public Works and Independent Utilities Committee approved A-2750 and S-1899 today. The Senate has already approved the tribute. "Peter Biondi advocated fervently for this bypass because he knew what it meant to Hillsborough's quality-of-life and the realization of its downtown vision plan," Assemblyman Jack M. Ciattarelli, R-Somerset, Hunterdon, Mercer and Middlesex, said. "This is a fitting tribute to someone who spent his life serving Hillsborough, Somerset County and nearby communities with tireless dedication." The legislation would rename the bypass the "Peter J. Biondi Bypass," without expense to state taxpayers. "We will always remember the man known as 'Mr. Hillsborough' with gratitude for his public service as a volunteer, elected official and Army Reserve veteran. This tribute will make sure his service is never forgotten," said Assemblywoman Donna Simon, R-Hunterdon, Somerset, Mercer and Middlesex. "Peter Biondi's legacy is still felt in the communities he served and this tribute is a small thank you to someone who has given us so much." Biondi, who lost his battle with cancer in November, served the 16th Legislative for 14 years. He had previously served as Hillsborough Mayor and Somerset County Freeholder. He was instrumental in getting funding for the Route 206 bypass. ####

The Florida mother is accused of killing her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee.
The FBI examiner said Saturday that she examined a light-brown, 9-inch-long hair for this case.
She said the hair was similar to one pulled from Caylee's hair brush and was not similar to a hair sample from Anthony.
She also said the hair showed characteristics consistent with decomposition.
An assistant supervisor with the sheriff's office crime scene unit explained how he collected evidence from Anthony's car in 2008.
The prosecution says Caylee was suffocated after duct tape was placed over her mouth.
The defense contends she accidentally drowned in her grandparents' swimming pool.
Court has recessed until Monday.

When asked about the possibility of a âWatchmenâ sequel at the West Hollywood Book Fair on Sunday, editor Len Wein replied, âI think you have a better shot of seeing the Thirtieth of February.â
Wein entertained a crowd with tales of making the DC Comics graphic novel, writing for the upcoming âWatchmenâ video game, and his thoughts on cinematic versions of the creations of his collaborators Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons in a live presentation moderated by CBR Executive Producer Jonah Weiland and sponsored by Golden Apple Comics.
Weinâs career spans several decades. He co-created such characters as Wolverine, Nightcrawler, the Human Target and Swamp Thing. By the 1980s, he was editing titles at DC Comics and introduced writer Alan Moore into the pool of talent stateside. Asked about Mooreâs take on Swamp Thing, Wein replied, âIf I didnât like it, it wouldnât have happened.â To Wein, part of the fun in working in comics is seeing what other people can bring to a character, even if it is a character he created.
In the mid 1980s, just such an approach was planned for the long stagnant set of characters DC bought from Charlton Comics. Heroes like Captain Atom and Judomaster were glimpsed in âCrisis on Infinite Earths,â and Moore was interested in working with those characters. As the story evolved, DCâs then managing editor Dick Giordano became concerned with the fates of the characters he edited back at Charlton. Wein recalled, âDick said, âThis is a great story, Alan, but almost everybody dies at the end. What happens to my characters, then? If you want to do this story, why donât you come up with a new set of character and tell the story through new eyes?ââ
Mooreâs concept quickly evolved into a project separate from the Charlton heroes: âThe Watchmen.â Wein, already Mooreâs editor, took on the project.
|"Watchmen" feature film currently set for release March 6, 2009
Weinâs major contribution to the project was the suggestion of the extra story material at the end of each issue. âWe really couldnât sell those books to the advertisers, so we found ourselves with an extra eight or nine pages to fill that were going to be filled with ads,â he explained. âInitially, they said weâd fill it with house ads and a longer letter column.â Wein felt that approach would not be fair to anyone who wrote in during the last four issues of the run, as the production on those books would be complete before the letters arrived at DC. âSince we have these pages to fill, we can fill them with something that helps gives you back-story.â
Wein explained the usual process of editing a script of a comic in the 1980s: âIn a regular comic book, you usually sit down with the writer to plot out the story. In general, you get the script first, go over and edit the script; spelling errors, dialogue problems, art direction problems.â In contrast, Wein would receive intensely detailed scripts with few errors for âWatchmen.â âFor a twenty-four paged comic, I would sometimes receive a one hundred-and-thirty-page script.â
Indeed, Alan Moore is known for his meticulous planning of every aspect of the page. Wein noted many of Mooreâs panel descriptions would end with a note for the artist; âIf that doesnât work for you, do what works best.â The artist in this case, Dave Gibbons, never exercised the freedom he was given and worked to Mooreâs instructions.
Another difference for Wein, who was located at the DC offices in New York, was that Moore and Gibbons were in their native England. They had the luxury to collaborate closely while Wein would have to receive phone calls from Moore.
Wein also explained why âWatchmenâ had an unavoidable gap in its original publishing schedule. âI told Paul Levitz, who was the editorial coordinator at the time, we needed six issues finished before we scheduled the book.â Levitz scheduled the book when three issues were complete. âAs I told him would happen, you hit a point where it took more than a month to produce the book. You started having the gap.â However, Wein also understands Levitzâs decision. âI canât completely complain. There are budgetary problems. You have so much material you need to produce a year. Youâve got budgets to work through. So, Iâm sure Paul felt this book needs to be on the schedule to make the money for the company to return its budget.â
Wein admitted to being unhappy with the ending of âWatchmen,â which depicts the creation of a phony alien menace to unify the Earth. To Wein, the ending was reminiscent of an âOuter Limitsâ episode. âItâs been done before,â he told Moore. Moore responded, âBut I havenât done it.â They argued, and Moore ultimately won, but acknowledged the episode by having Sally Jupiter watch it in a scene in the final chapter.
Wein told the crowed he actually prefers editing to writing. âYou have complete control of the package,â he explained.
Asked if âWatchmenâ is a graphic novel, despite its original serialized presentation, Wein replied, âIt was always designed to be twelve chapters of a finite story.â He went on to explain many of the collected stories from ongoing titles are not âtrue to what a novel is.â While those stories are âa slice of the ongoing history,â a novel needs âa beginning, middle, end, and an overarching plot that starts and finishes in the space allotted to it.â
Wein believes the finite nature of âWatchmenâ is precisely why a sequel would be next to impossible. âThereâs not much cast left to do a sequel,â he said, explaining that ultimately, any attempt to further examine to world of âWatchmenâ would not produce the same book.
However, Wein has looked at the material again in writing a video game based on the âWatchmenâ feature film. The challenge for him was âfinding what works in the format given.â Wein found a period within the thirty-year time-span of the book to set the game. While he could not be more specific as the game is still in development, Wein did say the action is set âten years before the graphic novel takes place where there were events mentioned in the novel just as throw away lines.â Wein could not say which characters will be playable, but he did reveal several characters will be available to the player. The game will be released in February of 2009 as a downloadable title. What he has seen of the game âlooks as good as the film looks.â
One of the most memorable aspects of the âWatchmenâ is the pirate comic book that runs parallel to, and comments on, the events of the main story, âTales of the Black Freighter.â Asked if it would appear in the game, Wein said no. He also mentioned the theatrical film will lack the pirate story, but fans of the Black Freighter are in for a special treat. âTheyâre releasing âTales of the Black Freighterâ as an animated film about the same time as the feature hits the screen.â Currently, the DVD is scheduled for release the Tuesday following the theatrical debut of âWatchmen.â
But wait, thereâs more! âSomeone told me that later on, when the Ultimate version of the DVD of âWatchmenâ is done, they will merge the two,â Wein revealed.
While Wein is heavily involved in building the video game, he has only seen little footage from the film. Dave Gibbons, on the other hand, is involved in both the game and film, designing aspects of both. As for Alan Moore? âAsk Alan,â Wein joked. âOtherwise, Iâm just telling tales out of school.â
Some of Mooreâs antipathy comes from his own experiences in watching his work translated to the screen, but Wein feels a certain respect has entered Hollywood in regards to the properties they source from comics. âWe can all count the superhero movies where clearly the producers and/or the director and/or writer said, âOh, itâs just a comic book, why worry about it?â And you see what the product was,â Wein said. âThe people involved with âWatchmen,â especially the director [Zach Snyder], really want it to be true to the material and are zealous about it.â To the doubters of the film, Wein says, âGive it a chance.â
Asked about his favorite comic book-inspired film already released, Wein immediately said, ââThe Dark Knightâ has got to be way up there.â He also pointed out âSpider-Man 2â and âBatman Begins.â Wein said he was happy to see a new superhero in the form of âHancock,â but found the film âunfocused.â He clarified, âIt didnât know what story it wanted to tell.â Returning to âThe Dark Knight,â Wein talked about his thrill in seeing Morgan Freeman play Lucious Fox, another of his creations. â[It] just makes me grin like an idiot,â he joked. Of the characters than have made it to the screen, he said Wolverine is closest to his intentions.
Besides the âWatchmenâ video game, Wein has a number of upcoming projects. He is writing next yearâs âSuperman/Batman Annualâ and has an issue âThe Simpsonsâ coming soon. Heâs also written a Western short story for an Image Comics anthology and an episode of the Disney series âBen 10.â He mentioned a new project at DC, but could not say more about it.
Writing in such diverse formats and genres, Wein wishes the comics industry had a greater level of genre equality. âWhen I started in comics many years ago, there was not a genre that wasnât covered,â he recalled.
Asked about his favorite moment in âWatchmen,â Wein highlighted a favorite line uttered by Rorschach, when he is locked up and chided by the other inmates, âNone of you understand. I'm not locked up in here with you. You're locked up in here with me.â
