A report from Comic-Con 2016 on the various ways to celebrate the 50th anniversary of "Star Trek."
The Bradys at 4222 Clinton Way are caught in a time warp. For them, it's always the early 1970s, and dad Mike in his polka dot ties and mom Carol in her orange Formica kitchen (well-stocked with salt, sugar and white flour) like it just that way. They're raising their bunch in happy harmony, and hardly a day goes by without dad sharing one of his optimistic little homilies about life: "Alone, we can only move buckets. But together, we can drain rivers!" It is the nature of sitcoms to seem trapped in time. We channel surf, and Lucy and Desi and Ralph and Alice are still firmly at home in the 1950s, in those apartments we have come to know like our own homes. And the Bunkers are still at it, in their living room, and so is the Cosby family; the topical jokes don't seem dated for them, and their fashions never seem out of style, and it is forever 1954, or 1981.
The joke in "The Brady Bunch Movie" is that time has marched on for the rest of the Bradys' neighborhood. While the Bradys blissfully exist inside their bubble of the 1970s, the neighbors eye them suspiciously - and sometimes with outright hostility. For the first time in the movie we finally meet the Ditmeyers, their neighbors.
Mrs. Ditmeyer has a drinking problem and lusts after the older Brady boys, and Mr. Ditmeyer (Michael McKean) has erected a spite fence to block out their annoying activities. When little sister Jan (Jennifer Elise Cox) ventures next door, he snarls: "Hey, kid - go yodel in your own backyard! Hop back on the Swiss Miss package where you belong!") Of course, she's only there to warn him about the live electric wire that has fallen in his driveway, so is it her fault if he picks it up? Certainly not! And one of the running jokes in the movie is the unconscious passive hostility the Bradys unleash all around them: They're so wholesome, so darn nice, they don't even realize they are driving people mad. (And they're so plastic, do they even have human bodily functions? One neighbor who has actually seen the inside of their house suspiciously tells a friend, "I didn't even see a toilet.") The plot is made-up of the bits and pieces of what might have been sitcom storylines. The Bradys overlooked paying their real estate taxes, and now they stand to lose their idyllic home on Clinton Way. For the neighbors, that's just fine; Mr. Ditmeyer has plans to raze the neighborhood, and all of the other homeowners are blissful about the prospect of selling out and making big profits on their homes. But not Carol and Mike Brady (Shelley Long and Gary Cole). They want to stay right where they are.
Innocent of the forces amassed against them, the Bradys wonder how they can raise $20,000 in a week, and the kids pool their lunch money and discuss fund-raising schemes. Nothing seems to work until they learn of a talent contest with a $20,000 first prize and enter it, as a sort of 1970s Partridge Family singing group, dressed like refugees from ancient reruns of "American Bandstand." A lot of the humor in the movie comes from the burning jealousy Jan feels for her popular older sister, Marcia (Christine Taylor), with her long blond hair that must be brushed 5,000 times every morning. In her restless dreams, she whacks off Marcia's flowing locks with kitchen shears, but even then Marcia is the winner, as her parents compliment her on how great she looks with her new shorter style. ("It was MY idea!" Jan screams her nightmare. "MINE!") Meanwhile, Marcia's so innocent she invites her best friend for a sleep-over, and doesn't recognize a lesbian pass ("Sorry . . . I thought that was my leg!").
There are also lots of jokes about how the parents are slightly adrift from the grim mainstream of modern life, with their sunny values, blind optimism and blinkered view of the harsh 1990s realities all around them. The director, Betty Thomas, is best when she is establishing the bland, seamless, plain vanilla cocoon that protects the Bradys from bad news and evil influences.
Unfortunately, the movie itself seems to lean too far toward the Brady vision. Even its "modern" side is too innocent. The film establishes a bland, reassuring, comforting Brady reality - a certain muted tone that works just fine but needs, I think, a bleaker contrast from outside to fully exploit the humor. "The Brady Bunch Movie" is rated PG-13, which is a compromise: The Bradys themselves live in a PG universe, and the movie would have been funnier if when they ventured outside it was obviously Wayne's World.
This movie is trying to kill these women, but they endure.

Meryl Streep and Donald J. Gummer have been married since 15th Sep 1978. [view couple]
Mary Louise "Meryl" Streep (born June 22, 1949) is an American actress. Cited in the media as the "best actress of her generation", Streep is particularly known for her chameleonic approach to her roles, transformation into the ch...aracters she plays, and her perfection of accents. She made her professional stage debut in The Playboy of Seville in 1971, and went on to receive a 1976 Tony Award nomination for Best Featured Actress in a Play for A Memory of Two Mondays/27 Wagons Full of Cotton. She made her screen debut in the 1977 television film The Deadliest Season, and made her film debut later that same year in Julia. In 1978, she won an Emmy Award for her role in the miniseries Holocaust, and received her first Academy Award nomination for The Deer Hunter. Nominated for 19 Academy Awards in total, Streep has more nominations than any other actor or actress in history, winning Best Supporting Actress for Kramer vs. Kramer (1979), and Best Actress for Sophie's Choice (1982) and for The Iron Lady (2011).

What Streep meant by "We are all Africans."
In paleoanthropology, the recent African origin of modern humans, or the "out of Africa" theory (OOA), is the most widely accepted model of the geographic origin and early migration of anatomically modern humans. The theory is called the "out-of-Africa" theory in the popular press, and the "recent single-origin hypothesis" (RSOH), "replacement hypothesis", or "recent African origin model" (RAO) by experts in the field. The concept was speculative before it was corroborated in the 1980s by a study of present-day mitochondrial DNA, combined with evidence based on physical anthropology of archaic specimens.
Genetic studies and fossil evidence indicate that archaic humans evolved to anatomically modern humans solely in Africa between 200,000 and 60,000 years ago,

Ha ha wood chipper for Mother's Day (self.CBC_Radio)
submitted 3 years ago by One_Giant_Nostril
Anyone else catch the Ontario Today call-in about best and worst Mother's Day gifts? The husband buying his wife the wood chipper was pretty funny.

I laughed when they mentioned how the following work day, everyone at the office who heard about it wanted their wives to hear the story, too, if only so they look great in comparison.
I thought the guy who, as a little kid, brought his mom a bowl of Shreddies that were somewhat soggy by the time he got it to her was a little too hard on himself.

Script tuning in Bash
In the old days, shells were capable of little more than calling external programs and executing basic, internal commands. With all the bells and whistles in the latest versions of Bash, however, you hardly need the support of external tools.
Many scripts treat Bash as if it were capable of little more than calling external programs. This is surprising, since version 2 of the default shell has a command set that covers everything from complex string manipulation, through regular expressions, to arrays; useful functions that make expensive program calls redundant. The main advantage of internal functions is that the shell does not need to spawn a new process, which saves processing time and memory. This capability can be important, particularly if you need to launch a program like grep or cut in a loop, as the completion time and memory consumption of a script can explode if you're not careful. This article describes some simple techiques for speeding up your Bash scripts.

Dear Hutch,
I know you're probably suffering from jet lag and all, but please, next time maybe you should pray for a proof reader.
"Byeloroos"? Belarus is NOT part of Russia, any more than Mexico is part of the US. It has not been a communist "dictatorship" for, oh, 15 years or so now, since the break up of the USSR. I know it's been a while since you attended college, so I thought I'd pray up this little refresher.
Nevertheless, I'm sure the Latvians will be thrilled to hear you tell them they need to stand up for God's righteousness.
Um, are you sure you're actually in Latvia? Just checking.
While Byeloroos is a pretty absurd spelling, he is relatively correct in his description of its politics. Belarus has been governed by the same "President" since the breakup of the USSR, who is known for being quite the Stalin imitator. While not the official state party, the Communists hold a majority of the seats in their "Congress". FYI...
How can we be sure that the term "dictatorship" is a pejorative in Hutch's mind?
He's seriously going to bother the Latvian government about this? So what did you do, Kenny? Tell the Latvians that you wanted to talk to them about "making an important investment" in their country? Bet you did, because you Christer assgaskets just love doing shit like that. Boy won't they be surprised and delighted when you tell them "an investment in your nation's MORAL FIBER!" and then proceed to blather on about keeping the gays from marrying each other.
Too bad they'll just smile and nod. The penalty for that kind of fraud should be swift and harsh.
This is what I, as a Somewhat Different Prayer Warrior (a unilateral prayer warrior?) have been praying for. Obviously, Hutch is desparately needed in Latvia. I think this is a message from God that he needs to go there and take up the cause of Christ - and take the people of Antioch with them. Sure, it will be a blow to the good people at Lake Washington High School, but no sacrifice is too great.
At a rally of 2,500 people, they were only able to convert two? Ha! Amazing that Hutch sees that as some sort of accomplishment.
Hush your mouth, Keshmeshi. It OBVIOUS that God has a Plan for Hutch, and that plan is right there in Latvia!!!! I don't think he should even come back here: The flight is just too arduous, and his is needed there SO MUCH.
It really would be best - for the God-starved Latvians - if he were to renounce his US citizenship, and become a Latvian, along with his wife and kids.
He'll need disciples of course - what prophet doesn't? So I think that the Christian thing for the Antioch congregation to do is to donate all their worldly posessions to the poor, and become Latvians also. Shake the dust from their sandals and follow the light!
And in a wonderful sign of inter-racial, inter-denominational unity, I suggest that Mark Driscoll join him, along with the Mars Hill congregation.
And take Pastor Casey Treat along for good measure. We'll have to find someplace else to have the funerals for dead police and firemen from, but I'm sure something can be arranged. No sacrifice is too great to bring the message of Christ to Latvia. Save them from the spectre of Latvian Orthodoxy.

The Journal of Best Practices
The Journal of Best Practices
A Memoir of Marriage, Asperger Syndrome, and One Man's Quest to Be a Better Husband
Scribner Book Company, Hardcover, 9781439189719, 224pp.
Publication Date: January 3, 2012
At some point in nearly every marriage, a wife finds herself asking, What the @#!% is wrong with my husband?! In David Finch's case, this turns out to be an apt question. Five years after he married Kristen, the love of his life, they learn that he has Asperger syndrome. The diagnosis explains David's ever-growing list of quirks and compulsions, his lifelong propensity to quack and otherwise melt down in social exchanges, and his clinical-strength inflexibility. But it doesn't make him any easier to live with.
Determined to change, David sets out to understand Asperger syndrome and learn to be a better husband— no easy task for a guy whose inability to express himself rivals his two-year-old daughter's, who thinks his responsibility for laundry extends no further than throwing things in (or at) the hamper, and whose autism-spectrum condition makes seeing his wife's point of view a near impossibility.
Nevertheless, David devotes himself to improving his marriage with an endearing yet hilarious zeal that involves excessive note-taking, performance reviews, and most of all, the Journal of Best Practices: a collection of hundreds of maxims and hard-won epiphanies that result from self-reflection both comic and painful. They include "Don't change the radio station when she's singing along," "Apologies do not count when you shout them," and "Be her friend, first and always." Guided by the Journal of Best Practices, David transforms himself over the course of two years from the world's most trying husband to the husband who tries the hardest, the husband he'd always meant to be.
Filled with humor and surprising wisdom, The Journal of Best Practices is a candid story of ruthless self-improvement, a unique window into living with an autism-spectrum condition, and proof that a true heart can conquer all.
"In relating his story, Finch is compellingly honest, a trait that works well with his self-deprecating humor. [His] ability to put his experiences on paper will no doubt help more people—and families—understand [Asperger's disorder]. "
--Publishers Weekly
"In this funny, endearing, lesson-packed memoir, Finch shows what a couple
can accomplish with acceptance, forbearance, determination and love."
— More Magazine
"As a science writer who's written about the psychology of love and affection, I was struck by the clarity and honesty that illuminate this work. Finch provides a clear and unflinching look at the ways that this disorder leaves a person struggling to navigate through the complexities of our "neurotypical" social world. But he tells his story with humor, affection for others, and without self-pity. In his deep desire to be a good husband, a better father, a decent human being who connects with and care for others, Finch tells a universal tale, a fulfilling and even inspiring story of the difference that love – genuinely giving love - can make in our daily lives."
--Deborah Blum, author of The Poisoner's Handbook
David Finch was 30-years-old when he discovered that he was on the autism spectrum. In Journal of Best Practices, he describes how he learned to manage the disorder � and become a better husband and father in the process. More at NPR.org

How do I clear the solid Toner and Error LEDs (light)? The Status Monitor
states "Replace Toner" What can I do?
This indicates the
toner cartridge is at the end of its life and needs to be replaced. In
order to clear the Toner LED (light), you need to install a brand new, out of
the box toner cartridge (TN720 or TN750).
strongly recommends that customers use only genuine Brother drum units and/or
toner cartridges. Each Brother laser printer is designed to work at pre-set
temperatures that are matched exactly to each of our individual toner
formulations. Each individual component is designed to work with the other
to ensure quality and reliability. Using non-Brother supplies may affect the
hardware performance, print quality, and machine reliability. The Brother
limited warranty does not apply to any problem that is caused by the use of
third party drum units, toner cartridges, or toner.
Do NOT install a
previously used toner cartridge. Our toner cartridges are manufactured with a
reset lever that moves when installed into the machine. The movement of
the lever is what notifies the machine a new cartridge has been installed and
mechanically triggers the machine to reset the Toner LED. If a used
cartridge is installed into a machine, it will not reset the toner

I have a very simple question that I am pretty sure the answer is obvious but anyway. I have been using ubuntu very much for coding, using a number of languages. I can't imagine myself going back to windows. now that they have introduced Unity thing, I switch to Lubuntu which seems great. My question is, that, each distribution is 700mb big. I read somewhere that linux kernel is at around 35mb! Is that true? so does the other ~650mb go into the desktop environment? in extra apps? or into drivers?
700mb is actually the size of the base installation for most distributions. The installation includes setup program, a selection of base packages you need and documentation. When you install the actual distribution it may require more disk space since you will want to install additional packages.
Binary kernels are small, even smaller then 35mb. You can examine your
So as you stated, most of the distribution size is made of other linux packages. They include base system packages (coreutils, fileutils,..) that provide fundamental functions, applications, libraries, desktop environments, visual components (background images, system sounds,..). Typically fundamental drivers are included in kernel tree, but additional drivers can be distributed as separate packages too (such as linux-firmware package).

Robert Watters founded the company in 1983 in Houston with the innovative Rick's Cabaret gentlemen's club concept. In 1998, the company merged with the
XTC Cabaret chain, which was controlled by Eric Langan, who eventually became the company's president and CEO.
The early days as a publicly traded company (originally named Rick's Cabaret International, Inc.) were challenging. During the first 10 years, the stock
fell more than half. Since then, shares have risen more than three fold.
Focusing on innovation, RCI has created a truly upscale, friendly chain of gentlemen's clubs for both customers and entertainers, and built a substantial
company through acquisition and internal growth.
"We brought our gentlemen's club concept to Manhattan in 2005 with Rick's Cabaret New York," said Mr. Langan. "Critics said it would never work. It did,
and we did it again in 2014 with Vivid Cabaret New York aimed at younger professionals. Today, Rick's is considered the No. 1 club in the city and Vivid
the hottest new club.
"Another example is the success of the Club Onyx concept, the first upscale gentlemen's clubs to cater to the African-American professional. It has attracted
an enthusiastic clientele of professional athletes, musicians, businessmen, and community leaders.
"Now we are taking this spirit of innovation to closely related businesses. We have created the Bombshells bar/restaurant chain in Texas, which is attracting
interest from individuals interested in franchises. We also are expanding the market reach of Robust energy drinks as a higher-margin, better tasting
alternative for bars and restaurants."

"Then came the week of the Utah game in September. Somebody with a
controversial photo of Hadley taken in Las Vegas sent the image to Utah's
NCAA compliance officer, and it was forwarded to BYU. "
Dick, why not just say Hadley went to vegas to party and got caught? Also why was the photo controversial? Was it a black and white, or a Polaroid, or maybe it was shot with a slow shutter speed? Why not just blame Hadley, not the picture?
I get that you admire him, as do many of us, but please don't spin the story.

I'm a Utah fan but it was a low move by that Utah fan who did that. I don't think Harmon is spinning anything - even if he says the photo was controversial you're just picking at the wording - the circumstances were very controversial.
Taking a picture of your opponent to act like his mom and get him in trouble? Low move. Besides, Utah was going to win that game with or without him.

I'm glad that he got picked up. He was having a great year, before he got suspended. I hope he can return to the same Hadley that we saw before his suspension. He was every bit as quick and explosive as Van Noy. If he can do that he'll be a steal for the Saints. It's unfortunate that his suspension played out in such a public way. In the grand scheme of things it was a relatively minor infraction that got blown out of proportion just because he was attending BYU.

Some on here just love to confess other people's sins! They live by a lower standard for themselves but demand much more of others. They are joyous when others who are part of something special or have achieved something special in their lives stumble and fall. They are always irritated when they see someone else overcome because they themselves have never overcome anything. If they can't or won't do it, no one else should be allowed either!

@ DonO. "Holier than thou"? I have heard that derogatory phrase hurled at BYU but I do not know what it means. Can anyone associated with the U of U be "holier than thou"? How about Utah State or Notre Dame? Or can only BYU people be "holier than thou" exclusively? Sounds like jealousy or envy or perhaps even rebellion against anyone trying to achieve a higher standard to me. If someone might fail living the higher standard are the rest all "holier than thou"? Perhaps it is just an attempt for some to feel better about lower standards of personal conduct? Last I heard BYU turns way dozens of qualified applicants for everyone who is admitted. The demand is greater than the supply so apparently there are many who would happily be "holier than thou", if they only could.

I know many BYU fans love Spencer Hadley and think he is a great player. I think
he benefitted by teams focusing on Van Noy. I was shocked to see him sign
anywhere. Good for him. I wish him all the best.
We all have made mistakes and have skeletons in our closets. Hadley caused his own problem by forgetting who he really was and what he stood for. It is not important how the reminder occurred but is important that it caused him to reflect on what was really important in life. He learned and grew from that hard experience.
I remind all that Hadley violated the honor code but not the law. Others in recent history broke the honor code and the law. Certainly on the surface one is worse than the other.
I am not a BYU fan but I am a Spencer Hadley fan. I only wish him all the best.

Hadley got held to a higher standard, as he should have been. It saddened me to
see that photo, but he should have had more sense and adhered to the standards
that he promised that he'd uphold. I can't say that I've never
succombed to temptation, but one of the ways that I handle it is to not put
myself in the spot in the first place where I would have to make the decision.
I know my weaknesses and I just don't go there. It's made my life
much more simple. I try not to do anything or be anywhere that will embaress
me, my family, or my church. Doesn't always work but I have a lot less to
worry about because I'm on constant watch.
Now that is behind him, I'm glad that he's taken steps to do better and make himself better. It will only benefit him in the long run. I wish him a lot of luck.

@ Uncle Rico:
"Why was the photo controversial?"
Because the photo had been taken months prior, and then saved/released to come out just prior to the BYU/Utah game by a self-described "Huge Utah Fan," and sent not to the BYU Standards office, but to an outside organization in a very public way. That doesn't seem at all controversial to you?
With nearly every post by nearly every Utah "fan," on a BYU article that has nothing to do with the UofU, you all reaffirm the stereotype.

When Hadley was in High School, I had more then a few opportunities to cheer
against him. My sons attended a rival high school and were familiar opponents.
Football, basketball and track he did it all...and was a standout. There is much
to admire within Spencer and his family.
Obviously I have watched this past seasons football events with interest. I've met him and his father, watched his brother and cousins play and been very aware of who they all are. This is a non story without the football notoriety. I am pleased that Spencer has put some things together, and had a chance to grow and overcome challenges. Good luck to him in the future!

A Unified MAC and Routing Framework for Multi-Channel Multi-Interface Ad Hoc Networks
Improving capacity of wireless networks is critical and challenging. Although wireless standards such as IEEE 802.11 allow for the use of multiple channels at physical layer, current MAC and routing protocols of mobile ad hoc networks are mainly developed for running over one channel. In this paper, the authors design a unified MAC and routing framework to exploit the temporal and frequency resources to significantly improve the throughput of ad hoc networks. The joint channel assignment and routing scheme searches for an efficient transmission path taking into account the constraints due to the limited number of available channels and radio interfaces and the impact of MAC layer scheduling.

Crash Near Rice Leaves One Dead
UPDATE: Additional witness statements and further examination of the physical evidence from the accident revealed that 79-year-old Carol Theis proceeded into the intersection without first stopping at the stop sign.
A crash involving a car and a semi-truck has left one person dead and another with serious injuries. The accident occurred at the intersection of Benton County Road 12 and Benton County Road 78 near Rice. The crash happened Tuesday morning just before 8:00 a.m.
According to the Benton County Sheriff's office, a car driven by 79-year-old Carol Theis of Pierz was driving south on County Road 78 when she came to a stop at the intersection. After stopping, Theis failed to yield the right-of-way to a semi driving west county road 12. The semi was driven by 65-year-old Dale Scholl of Royalton. The two vehicles collided which caused significant damage to both the car and the semi.
Theis was pronounced dead at the scene and Scholl was taken to the St. Cloud Hospital for treatment of his serious but non-life threatening injuries. According to the sheriff's office, Scholl is listed in stable condition.
The crash forced deputies to close the roads to traffic and also damaged power lines in the area. The semi was hauling corn which spilled out onto the road.
The accident is still under investigation.

Readers pick their favorite baseball movies
Last week, I listed my favorite baseball movies of all time.
Topping the list was Kevin Costner's "Field of Dreams." In particular, there is a scene near the end that chokes me up every time I see it. Costner's character meets his father, who died before his son could apologize for something he said.
I have watched the movie at least 20 times, and that scene hits me like a bad hop in the bread basket.
The reaction to the column was immediate. It was one of the biggest responses to any column I've written in years.
See readers' picks for their favorite baseball movies
Many people agreed with my top choice, including two men whose voices cracked with emotion as they explained in telephone messages how much that scene means to them. They couldn't finish the sentence: "I'd love to have a catch with my dad again."
But not everyone felt the same way about "Field of Dreams."
Apparently, baseball movies mean more to people on an emotional level than the average comic-book flick.
I knew I'd rile a lot of people with "Fever Pitch," which I think is not only funny but insightful about how much sports means to the fans, but you really let me have it. Whatever your choice, you couldn't resist starting out with, "How could leave out (fill in the blank) and put in 'Fever Pitch?'"
I received the most outrage for omitting "Eight Men Out," which I re-watched a few weeks ago and felt that some of the characters were a bit cartoonish.
Anyway, I have tallied your choices and come up with a new list that reflects your favorite baseball movies.
My only consolation was that very few of you disagreed with me placing "Moneyball" at the bottom of the list. Frankly, I didn't even think it belonged on the list, but I included it just to tease our esteemed baseball editor, who thinks it is the greatest movie since "Citizen Kane."
One reader was so incensed that I made fun of the editor for being "delirious with baseball fever" that he accused me of being a "cannibal" for attacking one of my own.
Here are your favorite baseball movies

The emperor penguin was found sick on the Kapiti Coast after
eating sticks and sand and received two months of specialist
care with multiple operations before he was given the medical

animal tracking company Sirtrack so his followers could track

the transmitter fell off. It's not easy applying transmitters
to animals in a way that it causes the least disruption to
the animal's natural behaviour.''
The transmitter had been attached to the emperor penguin's
feathers with superglue, and had been expected to fall off
with his malted feathers next year.
She said the crew were hoping for the best while they
continued on the rest of a month-long research voyage.
"I believe he is alive and well and am hopeful that one day
in the future his microchip will alert us all to the fact
that he has returned to Antarctica to find a mate.''

The most common lie is that which one lies to himself; lying to others is relatively an exception.

Nothing seems to me to be rarer today then genuine hypocrisy. I greatly suspect that this plant finds the mild atmosphere of our culture unendurable. Hypocrisy has its place in the ages of strong belief: in which even when one is compelled to exhibit a different belief one does not abandon the belief one already has.

Woman accused of misusing bank cards, checksAugust 06,2014BENNINGTON A Cambridge, N.Y., woman was charged with multiple felonies Tuesday after police said they believed she had misused other peoples debit cards and one mans checking account.
Lynn Senecal, 43, pleaded innocent Tuesday in Bennington criminal court to 11 felony counts of forgery and seven misdemeanor charges of using false tokens in one case. She also pleaded innocent Tuesday in the same court to a misdemeanor charge of using false tokens in a second case.
Officer David Rowland of the Bennington Police Department said in the first case that he met with a man Jan. 15 who said he used to have a relationship with Senecal. The man said that the relationship was over but Senecal was still using his credit card and writing checks against his bank account.
Rowland said there was more than $700 charged to the credit card, mostly in December, and about $2,500 in checks cashed in April and May 2013.
In the second case, Trooper Christopher Burnett of the Vermont State Police said he met with another man who said Senecal was using his bank card without permission. Burnett did not give a total but said one charge, for $89.25, was for a body piercing.
Rowland said he learned Senecal was in jail in Washington County, N.Y., in March. Rowland said Senecal told him she was being held in connection with a case involving the use of a stolen credit card but said she did not provide any more specifics.

Global Climate Stayed Warm in 1996, With Wet, Cold Regional Surprises
By WILLIAM K. STEVENS
Published: January 14, 1997
THE world's climate system served up some big regional surprises in 1996, even as this decade's familiar string of warm years continued globally, climatologists have found as they tally their annual data.
On the regional level, all-time record precipitation soaked the Northeastern United States and Pacific Northwest, making last year the seventh wettest in more than a century for the contiguous 48 states, despite a protracted drought in the Southwest. December's devastating storms and floods on the West Coast topped off the soggy performance.
And as not only Americans but also Canadians and Europeans can attest, large expanses of their continents were unusually chilly for much of the year, reversing a three-decade pattern of warming in those areas.
For the earth as a whole, though, 1996 ranked among the 10 warmest years since worldwide records of air temperature at the earth's surface were first kept in the mid-19th century, American and British scientists say, although it was not quite as warm as the peak annual temperature recorded in 1995.
While experts on climate are far from a complete understanding of the world's weather machine, they believe they can account for some of last year's changes. They say, for instance, that the cooling of North America and Europe was caused by naturally occurring shifts in atmospheric circulation that dictate the large-scale movement of hot and cold air.
Even with the continental coolings, however, a report issued last week by the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York ranked last year as the fifth warmest ever recorded, just shy of the 1995 peak of slightly more than 58 degrees Fahrenheit. A second report, by the British Meteorological Office and the University of East Anglia, placed it eighth on the basis of preliminary data, also just short of the 1995 record.
Despite the drop, scientists said, the 1990's remain the warmest decade on record, with the 1980's second. ''It's still an underlying upward trend,'' said Dr. Phil Jones of the Climatic Research Unit at East Anglia.
While many scientists agree with that assessment, not all do. The rise over the last two decades is too small to be statistically significant, especially since there are many gaps in the surface data, said Dr. Richard S. Lindzen, an atmospheric scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who discounts the likelihood of serious global warming.
The surface records show that the earth has warmed by about 1 degree Fahrenheit in the last century, and that the warming has accelerated in the last two decades. Mainstream climatologists say the warming has probably been caused, at least in part, by emissions of heat-trapping waste industrial gases like carbon dioxide, and they estimate that the surface will warm by about another 3.5 degrees over the next century if emissions are not reduced. By comparison, the world is 5 to 9 degrees warmer now than in the depths of the last ice age.
Climatologists do not expect the warming to be smooth and continuous. ''One can get cooler years or even cooler decades owing to natural variation'' in climate, said David Parker, a climate analyst at the British Meteorological Office.
Temperature measurements taken from balloons above the earth also showed a slight global temperature drop last year, said Dr. James K. Angell of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Air Resources Laboratory in Silver Spring, Md. So did measurements of global temperature taken from satellites, said Dr. John R. Christy of the University of Alabama at Huntsville.
The satellite data, which give better global coverage but reflect temperatures throughout the atmosphere rather than at the surface, generally parallel the year-to-year fluctuations revealed by the surface readings. On balance, however, they show a cooling over the satellites' 18-year record. But when influences on climate like volcanic eruptions and the occasional warming of Pacific waters known as El Nino are filtered out, said Dr. Christy, the satellite data reveal a warming rate of 14 one-hundredths of a degree per decade. This compares with about 30 one-hundredths for the surface data obtained by the British Meteorological Office.
While there probably has been a significant rise in global temperature over the last century, Dr. Lindzen said, all the data taken together show that ''there hasn't been a profound warming.''
One consequence of a warmer earth, scientists say, would be heavier precipitation like that experienced by Americans in the Northeast and Northwest last year; a warmer atmosphere holds more moisture. Government researchers say they have, in fact, linked this century's warming to a 20 percent increase in heavy precipitation in the United States. Even in the cold season, they found, there has been a 10 percent increase in overall precipitation.
No single storm can be attributed to warming. But the heavy rains and snows of 1996 nevertheless contributed to the emerging overall pattern of increasing precipitation, said Thomas R. Karl, senior scientist at the National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C.

The aim of the study was to estimate inter-observer and test-retest reliability of the Neuropsychiatric Inventory Nursing Home version (NPI-NH) and the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI), and to establish their Reliable Change Index (RCI). Reliable Change methodology is a practical method for estimating the least change acquired in outcome measures.
Nursing home physicians and certified nurses assessed 105 patients with dementia (in five nursing homes) at baseline and after 2 weeks. Spearman rank correlations were calculated and Reliable Change Difference Scores (S(diff)(80)).
NPI-NH inter-observer correlations ranged 0.14-0.70. NPI-NH test-retest correlations ranged 0.23-0.80. CMAI inter-observer correlations ranged -0.10 to 0.72. CMAI test-retest correlations ranged 0.32-1.00 (CMAI total score, rho = 0.89). S(diff)(80) for NPI-NH items ranged 1.7-5.0. A change of 11 points on the NPI-NH total score can be considered a true behavioral change. S(diff)(80) for CMAI total score was 8 and factor analysis based sub-scale scores physically aggressive behavior, physically non-aggressive behavior, and verbally agitated behavior were 3, 6, and 4, respectively.
Reliability estimates and RCI for the NPI-NH were modest, seriously challenging its reliability and sensitivity to change over time. NPI-NH may only be useful for monitoring behavioral changes in individual patients with dementia, when symptoms are moderate to severe, or when effect sizes are large. Reliability of the CMAI was good, supporting its usefulness in clinical practice. Poor inter-observer agreement on behavioral observations poses a real challenge in nursing homes. Reliable scales are needed that include unambiguously formulated items. Copyright (c) 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman and former HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy have asked for a hearing from the full 12-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta on their convictions in a government corruption case.
A three-judge panel from the 11th Circuit earlier this month
upheld most of the bribery and corruption charges against Siegelman and all the charges against former HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy.
Attorneys for Siegelman filed a motion Thursday asking for a
hearing from the full 11th Circuit. Scrushy filed a similar motion
with the court on Wednesday.
In the filing, Siegelman's attorneys argued the government did
not prove there was an explicit agreement between Siegelman and Scrushy as required in bribery cases.
