Analysis of a unique
Ecological and evolutionary microbiology
Genetic and mass spectral analysis demonstrated that the BoNT/E produced by CDC66177 is a novel toxin subtype (E9). Toxin gene sequencing indicated that BoNT/E9 differed by nearly 11% at the amino acid level compared to BoNT/E1. Mass spectrometric analysis of BoNT/E9 revealed that its endopeptidase substrate cleavage site was identical to other BoNT/E subtypes. Further analysis of this strain demonstrated that its 16S rRNA sequence clustered with other Group II
These results expand our understanding of the global distribution of

Mass spectrometric analysis of BoNT/E produced by strain CDC66177
Since the BoNT/E produced by strain CDC66177 appeared to be a previously unreported toxin subtype, the enzymatic light chain activity of the toxin was assessed in culture supernatants generated from the strain. The light chain of BoNT/E cleaves the synaptosomal-associated protein, SNAP-25, and the Endopep-MS method was used to measure this activity upon a specific peptide substrate mimic of SNAP-25 (IIGNLRHMALDMGNEIDTQNRQIDRIMEKADSNKT). Endopep-MS analysis revealed that the toxin cleaved the peptide substrate for BoNT/E in the expected location, resulting in products with peaks at

Peaks indicating the cleavage of the substrate by the toxin are marked with asterisks. Panel B illustrates the sequence coverage of BoNT/E9 amino acid sequence determination (in red font) of tryptic digestion products using mass spectrometry.
BoNT/E9 extracted from culture supernatants of strain CDC66177 was subjected to tryptic digestion and the products were analyzed by mass spectrometry to confirm that the toxin's amino acid sequence was indeed unique based on the predicted translation of the DNA sequence. The amino acid sequence of BoNT/E9 was determined with 94.5% coverage (Figure

Our analysis of the genetic diversity of type E strains using a DNA microarray was limited to those isolated from botulism cases. Therefore, we considered the possibility that strain CDC66177 was genotypically divergent since it was isolated from an environmental source. We performed an

Problem with DNS services within my laptop running Windows 7 Pro
I am problem with DNS services within my laptop running Windows 7 Pro - x64;
Network adapters: Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller, Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 1030.
1.Followed steps below (as per some article) but no avail:
netsh int ipv4 reset
netsh winsock reset
ipconfig /flushdns
2.Un-installed Ethernet Adapter and Reinstalled. Still not resolved. Restarting computer does not help either.
3.Increased timeout to 50000 milliseconds as per the instruction on one of the Microsoft article but that did not help.
4.Problem occurs when computer is restarted (every time) and stays like that for ~20/30 minutes.
5.Same problem for Wireless too. Connected to two different wireless networks which has access to Internet and encountered same problem!
6.Windows Network Diagnostics could not find any issues.
7. Restarting the DNS Client from Services did not help.
8.Attached errors/screenshots. Problem seems to related to DNS only. Can ping any public IP at any time but unable to ping any Domain name initially!
9.Problem is not with the Router/Firewall. I do not receive any traffic from my computer to that Router/Firewall when problem occurs.
Any suggestion please?

So there is no expert or no one else had encountered this issue before!

Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit (SP 1)
Have you turned IPv6 off within your adapter settings?
|My System Specs
|09 Aug 2014
Hi Suranjit,
I'm assuming that this issue is occurring in a business network? Are you the Network Admin? Is your network's domain name called Domain.local or Domain.com? The Public IP should not be the same as your network's domain name isn't it?
"Can ping any public IP at any time but unable to ping any Domain name initially!"
Can you please kindly post an ipconfig/all output one coming from your DC server and one from the problematic computer?
|My System Specs
|11 Aug 2014
I have turned off ipv6 settings within ethernet adapter. Currently I can't find that adapter under Network connection it's assigning IPs.
I have attached output of ipconfig/all here.
Actually I am not logged into any domain. However, I am behind a firewall which I maintain and made sure it's not causing any issues. I have correct dns setting in there too. Same problem happens when I connected to home wireless network!
This morning when I had this issue, I tried to restart the DNS client service but it failed with following message:
"Windows could not stop the DNS client service on Local Computer.
Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion."
Everytime I start this computer I can see several errors within System logs for 'dnscache'/'lanmanworkstation'/'nlasvc' services (Event ID 7011).
|My System Specs
|11 Aug 2014
Thanks for the recent info provided. What happens if you use your ISP's DNS server and not any Public DNS'es?
Also, please assign Automatic IP addressing in your LAN's setting and see if this makes a difference.
|My System Specs
|12 Aug 2014
Same problem when I use the any other dns.
Currently I am behind multiple Firewalls and either using public DNS or firewall vendor's DNS.
However it's working for others within the same network.
DHCP on my lan does not work. There are times when I saw the 169.254.x.x and had to define IP manually. Besides, having no adapter within Network connections under Control panel made is difficult. Need to try that from CMD if I try!
|My System Specs
|17 Aug 2014
Guys, anyone had any idea? I am really tired of that!!
|My System Specs
|18 Aug 2014
With these errors that you are getting from the Event Viewer, does this prevent you from accessing any network resources? What exactly are the main issues that are preventing you on not being productive in your work?
|My System Specs
|18 Aug 2014
Every time I start my computer (either Restart/Wake from Sleep or network restarted), I am unable to use any URL. I can not browse any sites for ~30 minutes and these errors show up in the event viewer. Then eventually after that time, it starts to work.
During that time, I am unable to ping any domain name (google.com etc.) but can ping any public IP (184.108.40.206 for example).

Gourmet Food As A Last Minute Gift Idea
Are you looking for that last minute gift idea that will make the recipient love you forever? If you are, just close your eyes and tell yourself, "This is not as hard as I'm making it." The reason why you want to do this is because it really isn't as hard as you're making it. As a matter of fact, gourmet food is going to help you make them really want to be on your Christmas list year ever year. But don't buy a gourmet food item just because it says "gourmet food" on the label. You can actually go to your local department store and find plenty of $ 2 and $ 3 items that say "gourmet food" on the label, but the question is whether or not the food is really gourmet. It may just be a way to make it sound fancy because it may be considered gourmet according to the manufacturer's standards.
So what you need to do is go on the Internet and look up real gourmet food. Now this doesn't mean you have to pay $ 50 for 2 ounces of something. Gourmet food is affordable. However, this is not that gourmet food that comes from the gift section of the department store that is bland. This is an entirely different ballgame.
True quality
Yes, it can be quite confusing when you're looking for gourmet food. You may find that a lot of it is manufactured in foreign countries. You may deal with foreign language labels and incredible price tags. This isn't going to go too well because, when buying gourmet food for someone as a gift, you want to make sure that what you're buying is something that is of true quality and contains class.
So when surfing the Internet for the perfect gourmet food item, make sure you look closely. You should be able to tell the difference between something that is of a high quality and something that isn't. You will find that you will learn about the product, which will help you determine what sort of class it has. The more information provided to you in the form of reviews and ratings, the better the decision you're going to make.
When the website consists of reviews and ratings of their own that have been written by others, this shows that they stand by the product. They're being honest about the product. When consumers are allowed to submit a review on the website, this allows individuals like you to make an informed decision. You're not making a blind purchase like many individuals make even when they have the item in front of them on a store shelf.
Types of gourmet food
If you're wondering what types of gourmet food you can buy as a gift, the list goes on and on. Here is a rundown of some items that you may want to consider. Even for those individuals who are hard to buy for, you will more than likely find that gourmet food that will make their holiday. So here are some items for you to consider:
Hot chocolate – Hot chocolate is a hot item during the holidays. Most everyone loves it. In the gourmet food sector, you may find that hot chocolate mixed with other flavors such as cinnamon.
You've probably had gourmet coffee or tea at some point in your life. Afterward you probably wondered, "Where can I get that from?" There are too many times that we taste something that is wonderful and then never taste it again. It is just a matter of knowing where to purchase those things.
Chocolate – Gourmet chocolate speaks for itself. There is nothing like it because there are many ingredients not used in your commercial chocolate, giving gourmet chocolate a unique flavor.
Breads – There are so many different variations of bread. You can have it plain or you can have it with fruit and nuts. When buying this as a gift, ensure you buy some for yourself. You're definitely going to be in for a treat.
Candy – You can buy gourmet gum, hard candy, breath mints, and so much more. You've probably tasted gourmet candy at some point and realized that it has quite the unique flavor to it.
Cookies and desserts – Cookies and desserts are very popular gourmet items and they are very popular as gifts, so this is something else to consider.
There are so many gourmet food items. If you're not quite sure what to get, just think about what it is the person you're buying the gift for likes. If they are not a picky person, then go with your best judgment. You just might be surprised how successful you are at picking out the perfect gourmet food item for that person. Then again, you may find that food is not right for them at all. You may find that gourmet food accessories make for great gifts.
Gourmet food accessories
You can purchase gourmet food accessories as well. You can purchase the cookbooks that teach you how to make some delicious dishes. You can also look into buying water filtration systems for a person who may live in an area that doesn't exactly have clean water. You may even look into giving the coffee lover a fantastic home brewing system and buying them some gourmet coffee to go with it.
You have so many possibilities when it comes to gourmet food and gourmet food items. For the hard to buy individual, you'll find that it isn't so difficult after all. And to avoid battling the large crowds during the Christmas shopping season you can make sure you make the Internet your stop to shop. You're going to find everything that you need to make your Christmas shopping a success. Just make sure you don't drive yourself crazy with all of the excellent choices that you will come across. That can actually become more difficult than trying to buy something for that hard to buy for individual. So good luck this Christmas season and, most importantly, have fun.

Description: In The Native Ground, Kathleen DuVal argues that it was Indians rather than European would-be colonizers who were more often able to determine the form and content of the relations between the two groups. Along the banks of the Arkansas and Mississippi rivers, far from Paris, Madrid, and London, European colonialism met neither accommodation nor resistance but incorporation. Rather than being colonized, Indians drew European empires into local patterns of land and resource allocation, sustenance, goods exchange, gender relations, diplomacy, and warfare. Placing Indians at the center of the story, DuVal shows both their diversity and our contemporary tendency to exaggerate the influence of Europeans in places far from their centers of power. Europeans were often more dependent on Indians than Indians were on them. Now the states of Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Colorado, this native ground was originally populated by indigenous peoples, became part of the French and Spanish empires, and in 1803 was bought by the United States in the Louisiana Purchase. Drawing on archaeology and oral history, as well as documents in English, French, and Spanish, DuVal chronicles the successive migrations of Indians and Europeans to the area from precolonial times through the 1820s. These myriad native groups--Mississippians, Quapaws, Osages, Chickasaws, Caddos, and Cherokees--and the waves of Europeans all competed with one another for control of the region. Only in the nineteenth century did outsiders initiate a future in which one people would claim exclusive ownership of the mid-continent. After the War of 1812, these settlers came in numbers large enough to overwhelm the region's inhabitants and reject the early patterns of cross-cultural interdependence. As citizens of the United States, they persuaded the federal government to muster its resources on behalf of their dreams of landholding and citizenship. With keen insight and broad vision, Kathleen DuVal retells the story of Indian and European contact in a more complex and, ultimately, more satisfactory way.

The saunas were OK but not very big and they stay open till 11pm friday and saturday. Food was average, service was substandard. I was not able to get ice sent up to the room at 8pm. Staff at front desk was more interested in watching TV and told me to go the restaurant and get my ice there. The bed was hard as a rock as were the pillows. In my reservation, I requested a room on the top floor and a jacuzzi bathtub. I got neither when I checked in. Pool was not very big.
Modern, clean hotel with excellent attention to finishing detail. Attitude of the staff at the front desk.
very nice hotel if you like country and nature you must visit it
location, friendly staff
The hotel is in a quaint little village with awesome surrounding area. Family run for years. The owners and staff extremely friendly and they are building a wellness centre now. A lot of outdoor activities available. facilities are basic, but spotlessly clean. Would recommend a visit.
Very clean. Beautiful spot on the Kolpa River which is excellent for hiking, fishing and everything else in the nature. Breakfast and the restaurant in general was also good. The owner is very friendly and a good guide for all activities nearby. The computer which is available to use is really outdated and not usable for internet.

The Indochinese League was founded in 1731 by France, including the members Bengal, Pegu, Thailand, Khmer, Champa and Melaka.
In 1732, they founded Fort Knox at the site of OTL Singapore, to control the area better.
After France became a republic in 1763, France lost the contact to its SE Asian partners. The Indochinese League effectively fell apart in 1766, when Khmer conquered Champa.

Candida auris

The characteristics, diagnosis and management of Candida auris (C. auris).
Candida auris is a yeast species first isolated from the external ear canal of a patient in Japan in 2009. Since then C. auris has been associated with bloodstream infections, wound and ear infections in several countries globally. It has caused prolonged hospital outbreaks in India, Pakistan, Venezuela, and Colombia.
Laboratory testing
Commonly C. auris is resistant to the first-line antifungal drug fluconazole and this species can rapidly evolve to develop resistance, so specific antifungal susceptibility testing is indicated.
In UK laboratories, Candida species isolated from superficial sites are not routinely identified to species level or tested for antifungal susceptibility. Even if species identification is undertaken, isolates can be misidentified by some commercial kits.
Therefore any presumptive isolates of C. auris should be subjected to further testing at Public Health England's network of public health laboratories or the national PHE Mycology Reference Laboratory.

'Beautiful Creatures' Featurette Delves Deeper Into the Casters' World
A new featurette for "Beautiful Creatures" has been unleashed via MTV to give a better idea of what the story is about. The sneak peek features the cast and the crew explain who Lena is, her main issue with the coming of her 16th birthday, and her budding romance with a normal boy which complicates her life.
"They're supernaturals, they're not immortals. They're people who have powers beyond the finite abilities of most mortals," says director Richard LaGravenese of the casters, who include the major character Lena. Emmy Rossum, who plays Lena's dark caster cousin Ridley chimes in, "Casters are either dark or light."
"Some of her family is dark, some are light," the "Shameless" actress adds. "Lena is a natural, her powers are magnified. If she becomes a dark caster, she will become the most powerful dark caster in the world, and the same for the light."
Alice Englert, who portrays Lena, dishes on her character's upcoming transition. "Lena's 16th birthday falls on the most powerful solstice in 5,000 years, and more energy will be released than ever before and transferred to her. It's a big deal," she says.
Having been dubbed the next big thing after the "Twilight Saga" film series, "Beautiful Creatures" is adapted from a novel of the same name by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. It tells the tale of two star-crossed lovers: Ethan, a young man longing to escape his small town, and Lena, a mysterious new girl. Together, they uncover dark secrets about their respective families, their history and their town.
Alden Ehrenreich takes the role of Ethan, while Jeremy Irons, Viola Davis and Emma Thompson join the cast ensemble in supporting roles. In addition to serving as the director, LaGravenese writes the script for the romantic supernatural film, which is slated to hit U.S. theaters on February 13, 2013.

Chin at 6 months post liposuction/chin lift. Any suggestions? (photos)
Doctor Answers 3
Neck lift to tighten
Thanks for asking. It appears you have developed some loose skin from the liposuction. I believe lipo only should be reserved for the younger patients that have good skin elasticity. If there is looser skin and decreased elasticity then a neck lift (excision skin) should be performed with chin lipo. Consult with an experienced board certified surgeon to evaluate you in person and see if a neck lift will take care of your concerns.

Chin and neck appearance after liposuction
Thank you for your question.
It appears that you have a degree of skin laxity and visibility of the platysmal bands in the neck, revealed after your liposuction. The choices open to you would include tightening of the skin and dealing with the platysmal muscle bands.
Tightening of the skin or skin retraction can be undertaken to a modest degree via a number of non surgical approaches with a variety of RF treatments, mesotherapy and the like, available in some cosmetic clinics.
Of course the only sure fire way would be surgical skin excision and there are a number of approaches with that to place any scar in the best most inconspicuous site.
In terms of the platysmal bands again there are non surgical methods (Botox), minor surgical methods such as sutural techniques to cut the edges of the muscles without an incision, and finally more complete surgical methods such as platysmaplasty. Any surgical options would be best discussed in more detail with your plastic surgeon
I hope that this information is helpful;
best wishes
Suggestions for What's Next For Neck Wrinkles/Crepe Skin
I recommend adding RF treatments like thermage with ultherapy and kybella to give some lift and tighten the skin. Lasers can be useful to improve tightening and skin crepeness. Please see an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

Georgetown, Ky - For the first time in the history of Georgetown College Soccer, there are two head coaches to lead the programs, as former Tiger Leah Crews has been named head coach of the women's program and Georgetown native Derek Willis will head up the men's program.
Georgetown, Ky - For the first time in the history of Georgetown College Soccer, there are two head coaches to lead the programs, as former Tiger Leah Crews has been named head coach of the women's program and Georgetown native Derek Willis will head up the men's program.
"We feel like both Leah and Derek are great matches for
our institution and that they will be able to pick right up because of their
familiarity with Georgetown College," said Director of Athletics Eric Ward.
For Crews, who was an NAIA All-American during her 2004 senior season and was named the team's most valuable player three straight years, it is a dream opportunity. "I have a strong sense of pride in what it takes to be a Georgetown Tiger," said the former goalkeeper. "I am excited for the opportunity to carry on a strong tradition of sportsmanship, leadership and commitment in striving to accomplish a common goal."
While neither coach has prior collegiate coaching experience, both played college soccer and moved right into a coaching role upon their graduations. Willis, a former goalkeeper at Centre College, will leave the Central Hardin High soccer program after serving as head coach for three seasons. In addition, he coaches the Javanon club team and has served as an assistant at Scott County High and Berea College, as well as an instructor at many camps throughout the state. "With my current club team (Javanon), I work with some of the top soccer talent in the state and many are heading to play in colleges throughout the nation," said Willis. He hopes his association with the younger levels of soccer will help in recruiting quality players to the Georgetown campus.
Crews served as head coach of the Lexington Football Club for two years and as an assistant for Woodford County High. She has made a name for herself by specializing as a goalkeeping coach.
Both Crews and Willis have served as assistants in the Kentucky Olympic Development Program and hope to give students a competitive advantage on and off the field. "I want to instill in my players that attitude reflects leadership," said Crews. "I am very familiar with the demands of a smaller institution that stresses success in the classroom as much as success on the field and I hope to reference my experiences to help my students become successful individuals in all aspects of their lives."

Minor storm damage has been reported in parts of Melbourne, as a cold front continues to move across the state.
At 10pm the State Emergency Service had received 62 requests for assistance over seven hours, as trees were brought down and some minor damage inflicted on buildings.
SES spokeswoman Kathryn Gould said the calls for help had come mainly from metropolitan Melbourne and also Victoria's south west, including Geelong and Warrnambool. But there were yet to be any major incidents.
As expected, the Bureau of Meteorology reported blustery weather in the evening, with winds of 95 km/h recorded at 7.56pm in St Kilda.
A wind gust of 91km/h was also recorded at Fawkner Beacon at 8.34pm.
By midnight, senior bureau forecaster Richard Carlyon said the worst appeared to be over.
"The storms looked like they were going to move into the Melbourne areas but they did weaken," he said.
Mr Carlyon said the temperature was expected to fall 12 degrees by 6am on Tuesday, from a muggy high of 25 degrees at 6pm Monday.
A few showers are expected on Tuesday morning, clearing by the afternoon.
The SES has warned people to move vehicles under cover or away from trees. People should secure loose items around the house and keep clear of fallen power lines.
A gale warning has also been issued for the Port Phillip, West Coast, Central Coast and Central Gippsland Coast districts, while a strong wind warning is current for the Western Port and East Gippsland Coast regions.

By Rita Rubin, USA TODAY
Adult children of Alzheimer's disease patients don't suffer psychological distress when told they carry a gene that increases their risk of the disease, researchers report Thursday.
Increasingly, companies are marketing tests directly to consumers that promise to reveal their genetic susceptibility to killers such as heart disease, diabetes and Alzheimer's.
ALZHEIMER'S: What you need to know
LIVING WITH ALZHEIMER'S: Patient Bob Blackwell blogs about clinical trial he's in
Because the tests are virtually unregulated, concerns have been raised about their accuracy as well as their value. While people can take steps to protect against heart disease or diabetes, there's no known effective way to minimize Alzheimer's risk.
The only known genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's, which begins after age 60, is the apolipoprotein E, or apoE, gene.
There are three main apoE types: 2, 3 and 4. The new study is the first to randomly tell people their apoE types, the authors write in The New England Journal of Medicine. Up to two-thirds of Americans inherited two copies of apoE3, which doesn't seem to affect Alzheimer's risk. ApoE2 appears to be somewhat protective, while apoE4, carried by at least one in five, raises the risk.
People who inherit apoE4 from both parents are at least five times more likely to develop Alzheimer's than those who don't carry a copy. Another study in this week's New England Journal found that healthy apoE4 carriers also are likely to begin experiencing age-related memory decline sooner than non-carriers.
"People were very, very nervous essentially about the danger of this information, so much so they thought you shouldn't give it," says Lawrence Brody, a senior scientist at the National Human Genome Institute, who wasn't involved in either study.
But lead author Robert Green, a Boston University professor of neurology, genetics and epidemiology, says many want to know their apoE status. "We're testing a procedure that we think allows them to learn this information with safety," Green says.
His study of 162 volunteers found that those who were told they carried apoE4 were no more anxious or depressed than those who weren't told their test results. Anxiety and depression were reduced in those who learned they don't carry apoE4.
Still, Green says, his findings don't prove that testing is perfectly safe. The study excluded those who were anxious or depressed to begin with, and trained genetics counselors disclosed test results. Plus, the authors write, they don't know whether the findings would apply to people without a family history of Alzheimer's.
"I'm not sure this paper answers whether we should or shouldn't do it (testing)," Brody says. "It's a good first step."

Even more austerity will further undermine the Greek economy causing ever widening deficits. So, why are the bondholders so sacred? The answer, of course, is that the European banks hold huge positions in the sovereign debt of Greece and the other high-debt European Monetary Union (EMU) nations.

Dancers Exploring Video's Possibilities
By JENNIFER DUNNING
Published: October 29, 1987
''I think people shouldn't take video for granted. It's too important. It has infiltrated our lives in a very real way.'' The speaker was Elliot Caplan, an award-winning film maker and the director, with Merce Cunningham, of ''Points in Space,'' a video dance that will be screened tonight at 9 on the Arts & Entertainment cable network.
''Points in Space'' is Mr. Cunningham's eighth video dance since 1977, when he began to create dance for the medium. Over those 10 years, there has been an increasing interest in the use of video for documenting dance and, to a lesser extent, as an element in choreography and for the making of video dance itself.
Video began to be considered as a fine-art medium in the late 1960's. But it was not until the 80's, with the availability of refined and cheaper equipment, that video was seen as an accessible medium. The actual production of video is still beyond the means of many dancers and choreographers. And Mr. Caplan and perhaps only a dozen other dance video makers have emerged as artists in their own right. Mr. Caplan observes that he appears to be the only full-time film maker working with a dance company. Defends the Medium
Mr. Caplan trained as a painter before becoming interested in film making, which led to experimentation with video. In 1977 he joined the Cunningham staff as an assistant to Charles Atlas, the company's resident film maker and production supervisor. Initially prejudiced against the medium, he has become a staunch defender of video. ''The first criticism is always that video is flat,'' Mr. Caplan said. ''But it depends how you use it. People have said there's so much depth to 'Points in Space.' Well, that's no accident.
''Film has more color and depth. But you can get a very rich picture with video if you know how to manipulate the basic tools - camera and lighting.'' In addition, Mr. Caplan has found that the discipline of learning to make images clear in black and white, which offers less of a sense of separation and visual nuance than color, is extremely useful for video making. ''When you look through the viewfinder of a video camera you only see black and white.''
The camera has more than the power simply to present a selected image to the viewer in ''Points in Space,'' co-produced by the British Broadcasting System and the Cunningham Dance Foundation and available for purchase through the foundation. It is an invisible but potent performer. ''Like Merce says, the camera has this terrific option to move through space,'' Mr. Caplan observed. ''So why not move it? In video, there can be a constantly shifting space, a moving field within which the figures move.
''Video is not a substitute for the pleasure of live performing. You have a different kind of excitement and immediacy. We kind of force the viewer to think about dance differently. We don't shoot as if it were on a proscenium stage. It's those differences that make the field, and we have to learn ways to exploit them. 'Points in Space' is a different piece on the stage. Recognizing Differences
''I think the thing that makes our work special is that we recognize the difference between the stage and screen. The camera works completely opposite to the stage. The space in front of it is very narrow then goes wide. A stage starts wide and goes narrow. And the whole idea of entrances and exits is changed. Dancers just have to take a step and they're in. Onstage, they have to run 30 feet. That idea changes the concept of choreography.''
But Mr. Caplan cautions that video has its problems, many inherent in the newness and rapidly changing technology of video. ''I think people are going into video because it's a new, exciting technology that's there,'' he said. ''It's easier to get a good video image. You can get a video camera for $800, plug it in, and without too much light you get a picture and sound. Two hours of videotape costs $10. My question is: once you have the image, what do you do with it? Fourteen million colors can be produced on a video paint box at a professional video house. What does that mean?''
And video makers are discovering that videotape can fade drastically. ''Eye on Dance,'' a weekly televised dance program, will announce an adopt-a-tape program on a rerun of its 200th program anniversary special on Monday night at 9 on Channel 31, with the aim of raising money to transfer its 240 shows to new master tapes. Mr. Caplan has begun similar work at the Cunningham archives.
But he feels strongly that video is a promising field. Mr. Cunningham and Mr. Caplan conduct camera-dance workshops throughout the country and abroad in which they ''teach people to see,'' in Mr. Caplan's words. ''We put dancers in back of the camera and video people in front,'' he said. The medium must be demystified, he feels, and the best way to learn the craft is to practice it.
''Get your hands on a low-cost, inexpensive video camera,'' Mr. Caplan said when asked for advice for fledgling video makers. ''Set the camera up with a monitor. Turn it on. Stand in front of it. See what it feels like to record your own image, how you move and how clearly it comes across on the screen.
''We have in the studio filing cabinets full of early videos Merce made. You turn them on. First there are glitches. Then Merce walks on. He falls down. He walks around. The monitor is turned toward him so he can see what he's doing. Then he walks off, out of the frame. He didn't know anything about this new thing, and he wanted to see what its possibilities were.''

Adelaide: Lanka's bowlers struggled on the second day of a three-day tour match against an inexperienced Australian Chairman's XI here at Adelaide Oval on Sunday.
After declaring earlier in the day at 368 for 6 with most of their top order getting among the runs, the Sri Lankan bowlers battled to contain a side made up of fringe Australian provincial players.
At stumps the Chairman's XI were 262 for 4 with Tom Plant not out 63 and Luke Ronchi yet to score.
Sri Lanka suffered their second injury worry in as many days when fast bowler Chanaka Welagedara pulled up with what appeared to be a hamstring injury one over after claiming the wicket of opener Greg Moller, caught behind for 33.
But of more concern to the Sri Lankans is vice captain Kumar Sangakkara, who retired hurt with a hamstring problem when batting on Saturday.
He is now in doubt for the final warm-up against Queensland next week.
Coach Trevor Bayliss said he did not know whether Sangakkara would be available for the first Test beginning in Brisbane on Nov 8.
"It's very stiff at the moment, he's limping around, they're keeping a close eye on him and I think he'll be sent for scans at some stage," Bayliss said.
"The belief is it's only a slight strain, he looks a bit doubtful (for Queensland).
"The most important thing is the Test match so if there's any doubt at all we won't play him (against Queensland)."
Off-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan (1 for 87 from 30 overs) had to wait until the second to last over of the day for his first wicket when he beat teenager Philip Hughes (49) in flight and had him stumped.

MIAMI — The epiphany came the first day of training camp: Keep it simple Spoelstra.
And so Erik Spoelstra has done just that, taking a far different plan into this Miami Heat era of the Big Three than he initially designed.
"I had two pages of rules and guidelines that I wanted to come into camp with: 'If the ball is rebounded here, this guy would bring it up.' 'If this guy rebounded the ball, he'd bring it up.' Two pages of those," the third-year coach said before Tuesday's 129-97 blowout of the Minnesota Timberwolves.
"And when I got out to the first practice, I scrapped it all. It was just ridiculous."
Such was the contrast Tuesday at AmericanAirlines Arena.
On one end, Timberwolves coach Kurt Rambis was trying to get his youthful players to march lockstep in the intricate triangle offense, one mastered by Michael, Kobe and few others.
On the other, Spoelstra again was refusing to get in the way.
"What I don't want to do," he said, "and that's pretty much what we've gotten to, I don't want to make a call on misses or on steals, and I rarely do with this group."
The majesty of Dwyane Wade and LeBron James is not Thumb-Up or Floppy or Fist Down any of those other gesticulations from the bench that make you wonder if today's button-downed coaches aren't knick-knacking, paddy-whacking, giving a dog a bone.
No, Spoelstra wants his players rolling home, unencumbered by playbook or policy, as the Heat did on fastbreak after fastbreak after fastbreak Tuesday.
"I don't want to handcuff 'em," Spoelstra said.
The irony is that among Tuesday's opponents was Michael Beasley, the former Heat first-round pick who simply couldn't find his way in Spoelstra's system the previous two seasons, when play calls were the rule and every action called for a reaction.

Free Cloud Storage Options for Photographers
Today's post is a guest post from the New York Film Academy
Backing up Photography on the Cloud
The main cloud storage services are all-great, but how do they stack up for professional photographers?
From experience, myself and most photographers I know are sticklers for file organization. The thought of having random image files littered around the desktop is enough to have us chewing our nails with anxiety, and as much as a hierarchy of neatly ordered file folders satisfy our base needs, there's always the issue of backing up to contend with.
The Physical Option
Naturally, keeping work safe and sound (and easily retrievable) is essential for anyone working with hundreds of digital files. The golden rule is to always have your photos backed up in at least two locations – for me this has always consisted of whatever SD card I'm shooting on, my desktop (transferred there when editing) and a USB flash drive which I copy everything onto about once a month or so.
However, hunting around for the flash drive isn't ideal if I'm on the move and want to quickly show a prospective client a particular example of my work. In addition, should the absolute worse happen – such as fire or theft at my apartment, heaven forbid – that could potentially be all my physical data storage lost in one fell swoop.
Alas, that brings us onto…
The Cloud Option
There are, quite literally, hundreds if not thousands of cloud storage options out there so today we'll compare and contrast only the main services, if only because I've not personally tried out the lesser-known providers and therefore cannot comment on their security.
Specifically, let's take an impartial look at how good they are for the professional or semi-pro photographer.
Cloud backup services have really come into their own in recent years; so much so, the amount of choice can be overwhelming. Out of them all, which are most geared towards storing large amounts of photography?
Ignoring the lesser-known services (whose security we can't verify here), today we'll be looking at the five big hitters and, specifically, what you can get out of them for free.
Space and Pricing: 5Gb (free), 15Gb ($20/year), 25Gb ($40/year), 55Gb ($100/year)
If you own any of Apple's ubiquitous products, you'll probably be intimately aware of the company's iCloud service already. In a nutshell, it's a central server to which your iDevices all have automatic access (and near-instantaneous synching).
It's a fantastic way of transferring photos between your iPhone, tablet and desktop mac without having to use wires. It's also a brilliant backup service for your data should your phone go amiss.
Unfortunately, it sucks as the main option for backing up your entire photo library.
Its usability with non-Apple is limited, the folder management system is virtually non-existent and space is limited to a mere 5Gb. To sum up, iCloud is great for what it's designed for, it's just that large-scale photo backups from your main camera ain't what it's designed for!
Space and Pricing: Up to 18Gb (free), 100Gb ($99/year), 500Gb ($499/year)
Dropbox was one of the first cloud services to find mainstream acceptance, and it's easy to understand why: the service is very easy to set up on every web-connected device you use, operates just like a standard Windows folder and supported sharing with multiple people.
In essence, it's flexibility is perfect for the photographer who likes to keep everything backed-up, organized and instantly accessible with very little hassle. Pricing for extra storage is also very competitive, but the only grumble (and point worth noting) is that the free 18Gb above can only be gained by hassling your friends and colleagues to get an account. Otherwise, the standard free account only gives you 2Gb.
SkyDrive is the flagship cloud storage service from Microsoft, and despite its diminishing popularity does come with some unique perks.
For one, it gives users a 7 Gb free and unrestricted upload space which, right out of the box, beats the other services on this list. This increased to 27 Gb if you own either Office 265 or Office 2013, so it's a great option for those who work in a heavily Microsoft-based environment.
Additional paid storage offers slightly better value than competitors, so photographers looking to back up large amounts of high-res images will find a home in SkyDrive. In a nutshell, it's a good all-rounder and integrates well with existing workflows.
Free Storage: 7 Gb and up to 27 Gb
Paid Storage: 100 Gb at $50 per year
Google Drive
Previously known as Google Docs, the Google Drive incarnation is part of the company's unwavering campaign to coral all of its tools into one place (so users access everything – from Gmail to Google+ – via one single account).
Space and Pricing: 5Gb (free), 25 Gb ($2.49/month), 100 Gb ($4.99/month), 400 Gb ($19.99/month), 1Tb ($49.99/month)
This is arguably very useful if you use Google's ancillary products on a regular basis. The pricing is also better than everyone else on this list, even without the option to save with a yearly payment. They're also the only service I know of which offers up to 16Tb of space – probably a bit overkill, but if you shoot a lot of film as well as photography the higher options may be extremely useful (a full list can be seen here).
So, it's perfect for photographers, then? Unfortunately, no.
There are two things which makes me hesitant to recommend Google Drive, but I will point out these are personal axes I have to grind. Firstly, the web-based navigation is clunky, prone to odd errors and very ill suited to work around folders. Secondly, I've found it headache-inducing when accessed via an iPhone and no decent app exists as far as I'm aware of.
Personally, I think Google Drive is a fine solution for sharing files and working on collaborative projects, but as a backup service for large numbers of photo files, I find it woefully lacking in its current state.
Space and pricing: Technically unlimited – see below
Owned by Google, Picasa is superior when it comes to organizing image files and albums (as you can imagine, since that's what it's designed for).
The only issue is that it only offers you 1Gb of free storage. Bad news! However, images under a certain size aren't counted, so technically you can have unlimited storage on Picasa. Great news! Unfortunately, this size limit is only 800×800, or 2048×2048 if you use Google+ – this can be a hindrance if you're a HD photographer. Bad news! Thankfully, you can upgrade your storage space at the same cheap rates as Google Drive. Good… well, you get the picture.
Arguably then, Picasa is the ultimate online storage and backup service for photographers. Just be careful not to fall foul of the sizing limits, since the imposed JPG compression can be a horrific detriment to image quality.
Closing Note
Other cloud-based services exist, of course, and I'd like to encourage you to do your own research in order to find what works best for your own personal needs (and there's nothing wrong with using more than one). Lastly, I'd like to tip a nod to the New York Photography School – while we're often left to work out such technicalities of the business ourselves, they provide excellent tuition to set students up for the main part of the job: producing beautiful photography!

Volt looked to the mysterious shadow on the tower. Everything was rushing through his head like some kind of nightmare. Who could this creature be? Why did it have Hailey? However, the silence was broken by the creature's toothy smile.
"Volt! Take this thing out!", Hailey yelled out. The shadowy thing's eyes darted to Hailey and its smile turned to a dull expression. An ambient hiss-like noise radiated from it- it did not speak, but rather the sound simply came from it, like a vibrating machine.
"Let her go.", the blue Sparkling said. He began running, gripping onto bricks and climbing the tower. In a panic the creature jumped from the tower onto the streets, and Volt quickly responded by turning around and shooting a bolt at the creature. As Volt chased the creature, words began running through his mind, as if the creature had a grip on his head. SEEDLING. GARDEN. MISTRESS. DESPAIR. Words kept resonating through his mind, and he didn't like it.
The creature stopped in the center of town, staring Volt down. "Hello.", it said. Volt was shocked, and before he could ask questions, dozens of the creatures began appearing, starting as inky black blobs and slowly forming into the shape of the original monster. "We are the Seedlings. What do you want us to do, my master...?"
"I want you to go away. Stop this.", Volt answered, still shocked by the creatures before him. The creatures seemed confused, some looking to each other, others twiddling their skeletal thumbs. However, the original one began making the noise like before, and all the creatures understood, running out of town.
"They have gone away to other places. Good choice in spreading your forces.". the original said, smiling to Volt as if his decision was a wise one. Realizing what he had done, Volt attacked the creature, leaving a huge white scar in the shape of a cresent on its chest. "You... you have chosen me as your Mistress. I am honored.", the creature said. "I will lead your Seedlings well.". And just like that, the creature vanished like the others.
A few hours later Volt and Hailey sat inside the library. "Volt, I found what this is...", the icy Sparkling said, bringing him to the book she was reading. Volt slowly read the worn pages.
"In my studies, hatred has led many a Sparkling astray, but if one simply refuses help, something begins. The Ominous. Shadows of one's self, Seedlings, will spawn from hatred, and only grow until their creator opens up his feelings and finds peace with himself. The one rejected even by its creator is the Mistress. She shall take care of the Seedlings. She will seek the master's approval."
"So all of this is a new form of Ominous?", Volt asked, clearly shocked that his own emotion caused this disaster.
"Sort of. But this is far from a new form. This just might be the first form.", Hailey said in response, staring at Volt with eyes that clearly said 'this is your fault, now fix it.' to her friend.
Volt nodded slowly and walked away, completely forgetting Hailey for a moment. However, when the realization that he left his friend came to him, he figured it was too late to not hurt her feelings. He sighed and sat down, thinking of how to deal with the new Ominous threat posed by, well, himself. He pinpointed the locations these creatures would most likely travel to- the heated Violent Volcano, the jungles of Tropic Terror, the oddly popular attraction Crazy Carnival, the desert of Smug Sands, the cavernous Regretful Rocks, the lake of Livid Lagoon, and the Puzzling Plateu. Volt grabbed his journal and jotted these locations down. Without a goodbye, Volt was gone to new places.
"..and he just left.", Hailey said to her friends Torchie and Aero. She was crying, knowing Volt probably brashly head into battle.Aero pulled his blaster from his holster and slid it on the table. "I don't know you well, but I know Volt. He's gone on his own route. I'll reason with him, but if things get bad...", he said, gripping the trigger as he finished his sentence.

|DO NOT REPLY [Bug 119105] New: Added SVG example is not shown correct

It contains a single PolyPolygon which is to be shown in SVG polygon draw mode 'nonzero'. Unfortunately this mode is not supported by AOO rendering pipes, so currently it is emulated using basegfx tooling. In this example, this does not work. It can be seen that all the geometry is correctly imported by using 'break' twice on the inserted object, first one to convert SVG to SDrPathObj, second to split the path's PolyPolygons to single Polygons. When doing so it can be seen that varoius polygons are double, have same oriantation but different start points. In such a case, 'nonzero' behaves different from 'evenodd' -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/ooo/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Luffy in dog mink disguise: Oh yes. Woof, woof!
