Gaza destruction comes under forensic lens in Amnesty
About two weeks into last year's conflict in Gaza, Palestinian photographer Jehad Saftawi began to tire of venturing into the city every day to take images of the wreckage.
He decided instead to set up a video camera showing the Gaza skyline in his apartment, and livestream the footage, so that viewers could see for themselves.
For several weeks, Saftawi became one of hundreds of Gazans to document the impact of "Operation Protective Edge", launched by Israel in response to rockets and mortar bombs fired by Hamas and other militant groups out of Gaza into Israel.
"When we started the idea to have a livestream, we were not asking to achieve anything. We were just searching for any channel, for any way to the world, to make them understand (the situation) Gaza people are living in," Saftawi, 24, told the Thomson Reuters Foundation in a Skype interview.
In the 50-day war, Israeli air strikes and shelling hammered the densely populated Gaza Strip, causing widespread destruction of homes and schools. More than 2,100 Palestinians were killed, mostly civilians, while Israel put the number of its dead at 67 soldiers and six civilians.
A year on, Amnesty International says evidence collected by Saftawi and others during one of the most controversial episodes of the conflict shows that Israeli forces carried out war crimes in retaliation for the capture of an Israeli soldier.
The global human rights group has been working with Forensic Architecture, a research team based at Goldsmiths, University of London, to piece together what happened on Aug. 1 2014, when an Israeli air and artillery bombardment killed 150 people in a few hours.
The events unfolded just as a three-day ceasefire was supposed to come into force. Emerging from a tunnel inside Gaza, Hamas militants ambushed three Israeli soldiers, killing two and seizing the third, Hadar Goldin.
To rescue the soldier – dead or alive – and ensure Hamas could not use him as a hostage, the Israeli army invoked the "Hannibal directive", an order compelling units to do everything they can to recover an abducted comrade.
What ensued was a furious assault on a confined area on the eastern edge of Rafah, the largest city in southern Gaza.
"There is strong evidence that Israeli forces committed war crimes in their relentless and massive bombardment of residential areas of Rafah in order to foil the capture of Lieutenant Hadar Goldin, displaying a shocking disregard for civilian lives," said Philip Luther, director of Amnesty's Middle East and North Africa program.
"They carried out a series of disproportionate or otherwise indiscriminate attacks, which they have completely failed to investigate independently," he said in a statement.
Amnesty says it hopes evidence drawn from hundreds of images and videos collected from satellites, news agencies and social media which were used to re-create many of the day's events in real time will be considered by International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutors.
A statement issued by the Israeli embassy in London said the Amnesty report "is fundamentally flawed in its methodologies, in its facts, in its legal analysis and in its conclusions."
"…the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) … conducts all its operations in accordance with international law," the statement said. "Alleged incidents occurring in Rafah during the time period covered by the report are under examination by the IDF General Staff Fact-Finding Assessment Mechanism," it added.
Using architectural techniques such as 3D modeling and two-point perspective, Forensic Architecture researchers were able to verify the time and location of numerous missile and tank strikes.
"What is distinct about the 2014 conflict in Gaza, is that most testimony is not happening after the fact, but on the spot, real time record of what is happening … Palestinians taking photographs or videos of what happens next to them and uploading them online," said Eyal Weizman from Forensic Architecture.
By creating a 3D architectural model of Rafah, they were able to analyze smoke plumes and shadows, to verify the exact time and location of individual photos and videos. They could also assess the exact size of missiles moments before they reached their target.
"The evidence for us is not within any single image. It is only through the architectural model that we are able to see the relation between images," Weizman said.
The analysis of one particular strike indicated the use of two one-tonne bombs in a densely populated area of Eastern Rafah. Though the use of these bombs is not illegal, a U.N. inquiry into the Gaza war published last month raised concerns about the use of such munitions in highly populated areas, due to the indiscriminate way they kill civilians and combatants alike.
Weizman said his team developed its technique of forensic analysis in response to the growing number of contemporary conflicts taking take place in urban areas.
"When violence takes place in cities, people die in buildings, and buildings become evidence," he said.
Amnesty said these techniques showed considerable potential, and could be used in other conflict zones that were hard for human rights activists to reach, such as Syria.

Tell Congress to Protect and Expand the National Housing Trust Fund
2019 will be an important year for protecting and expanding the national Housing Trust Fund (HTF), the first new resource in a generation dedicated to building and preserving homes affordable to the lowest income people in America. More than 1,900 national, statewide, regional, and local organizations have signed onto a letter calling on Congress to dramatically increase funding to the HTF. If your organization is not already a signatory, endorse the campaign and sign the letter by filling out the online form below. Please note that this is an ORGANIZATIONAL sign-on letter, and your organization, not your individual name, will be listed as an endorser.
Both the Senate Banking Committee and the Trump administration are likely to unveil new proposals in March to reform the U.S. housing finance system. These proposals will include dramatically altering or replacing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the funding sources for the HTF. There will also be calls this year for significant new infrastructure investments, another opportunity to expand funding for the HTF. Housing – especially for the lowest income households – is infrastructure. Advocates should sign your organizations onto the letter and send the email below to your senators and representatives today, urging them to commit to expanded funding for the HTF as part of a broader commitment to housing affordability in any housing finance reform legislation and in any new infrastructure investment legislation.
There are also threats to ongoing funding for the HTF. The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) regulates Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and new FHFA Acting Director Joseph Otting recently signaled he would be considering "all options" when asked about funding for the HTF. Mark Calabria, President Trump's nominee for FHFA director, gave promising answers to questions about protecting HTF funding at his confirmation hearing on February 14, but until Dr. Calabria is confirmed and beyond, it remains crucially important for advocates to demonstrate robust support for the HTF.
The campaign letter reads as follows:
To Members of Congress,
We, the undersigned organizations, write to express our support for the national Housing Trust Fund (HTF) and to urge Congress to protect and expand this critical resource.
The HTF is the first new federal housing resource in a generation, and it is exclusively targeted to help build and preserve housing that is affordable to people with the lowest incomes. In the first three years of HTF, $659.8 million has been allocated to states. Because the HTF is administered as a block grant, each state has the flexibility to decide how to best use HTF resources to address its most pressing housing needs. Most states have chosen to use their HTF investment to build and preserve affordable rental housing for extremely low income veterans, seniors, people with disabilities or special needs, and people experiencing homelessness. While these initial rounds of funding are an important first step, far more resources are necessary to meet the need.
In every state and community, growing numbers of extremely low income renters are struggling to make ends meet. According to the National Low Income Housing Coalition, there is a shortage of 7.2 million rental homes affordable to the nation's 11.2 million extremely low income renters. This means that for every 100 extremely low income households, there are just 35 rental homes that are affordable and available to them. As a result, 71% of extremely low income households are severely cost burdened, paying more than half of their limited income on rent. These families are forced to make difficult choices between paying rent and buying groceries, seeing a doctor, or saving for college or a rainy day. In the worst cases, they become homeless.
In 2014, Republicans and Democrats on the Senate Banking Committee voted in support of housing finance legislation, known as Johnson-Crapo, which included a provision to increase funding for the HTF to an estimated $3.5 billion annually, making a significant contribution to ending homelessness and housing poverty without competing with other important HUD programs for appropriated funds. To continue to build bipartisan support for housing finance reform legislation, the HTF must be protected and expanded and the HTF provision included in the Johnson-Crapo bill should be the starting point for any future legislation considered by Congress.
Investments through the HTF are more important now than ever before. We urge you to work with your colleagues to protect and expand the HTF in housing finance reform legislation, as part of a broader commitment to access and affordability throughout the housing market, to serve more families with the greatest needs.

When the eviction of a Pennsylvania man with a documented history of mental health issues turned into a deadly shootout, police realized they'd found another gap in a system they'd already spent years working to improve. How had the man, Donald Meyer Jr., passed the state's background check?
State police investigated and found that the record of the man's involuntary mental health commitment — which should have barred him from buying weapons — had been lost in transit between the county and state. In response, the state created an audit system to prevent future errors.
As federal lawmakers seek to improve record reporting to the federal background check system after a Texas massacre highlighted the risks of missing records, Pennsylvania offers a potential roadmap: The state has spent the last six years aggressively overhauling records reporting, hunting down reporting gaps like the one that let Meyer buy a gun and modernizing the technology they use to keep guns out of the wrong hands.
"We can't afford to make a mistake. We've got to find these errors and find these vulnerabilities," Major Scott Price, director of the Pennsylvania State Police's Bureau of Records and Identification, told NBC News.
Over the last six years, police have upgraded the Pennsylvania Instant Check System's (PICS) technology and system processes and hunted down gaps in record reporting. Price said that they have received $2 million in federal grants to fund their efforts, but also funded significant reforms themselves.
"The PICS system is strong — it's a model for this country. Every state should strive to do as well in record reporting as they do," said William Rosen, the deputy legal director at Everytown for Gun Safety, a group that advocates stricter gun control.
Background checks for gun sellers are far from simple: An inquiry goes by phone or computer to the FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System, which searches itself and two databases, the Interstate Identification Index, where criminal histories are stored, and the National Crime Information Center, which houses warrants and protection orders.
Those three systems house records from countless agencies on the local, state, and federal level. Thirteen states run their own background check systems, too, housing state records and submitting copies to the federal systems, according to FBI. Seven states run background checks for certain kinds of weapons, leaving the rest to the FBI.
Some checks are instant, while others flag potential prohibitive records but require FBI investigators to do more research. It's a lot of moving parts, and it's got to move quickly. If a background check is incomplete after 72 hours, the law says the gun seller can complete the sale without the final results.
Rosen was quick to note that when the records are properly entered, the system works well. It's stopped 3 million gun sales to individuals barred from owning a weapon since its inception in 1998.
"The system is intricate, but the solution is simple: remove any barriers, make sure that your records get into the system," he told NBC News.
The barriers to getting the right records in the right place vary from state to state, but include privacy concerns over mental health records, the intricacies of firearm and criminal law and technological abilities. The Justice Department has ordered a review of the nation's background check system, the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), aimed at identifying and resolving records reporting issues at all levels of government, as well as within the military.
Price said the biggest barrier to more accurate record keeping in Pennsylvania is the differences between state and federal laws.
A domestic violence conviction anywhere in the U.S. bars gun ownership, but Pennsylvania doesn't have a specific misdemeanor charge for domestic violence. This makes tracking which misdemeanor offenses meet the federal qualifications of domestic violence — which requires that the assailant and victim live together, have a child together, or are married — difficult. Next year, Price said the state and local police will begin a process, thanks to a $1.3 million federal grant, to collect more information like the relationship of victim and assailant on their fingerprint cards to make accurate reporting much easier.
When it comes to mental health records, Price said the question of how certain involuntary mental health commitments — like the ones done by a concerned family member, instead of a judge — jived with federal law, left them in limbo: Would they be enough to bar a gun sale? The issue was settled in 2013 (all of the state's involuntary mental health commitments were enough to block a gun sale) and the state transferred 643,167 mental health records into the federal system. In the four years since, Price said they've added around 200,000 more mental health records to the federal background check system.
According to the National Shooting Sport's Foundation's FixNICS campaign, the state has submitted the most mental health records per capita of any state in the country as of the end of 2016, the most recent data available.
"When we looked at this issue in 2011, Pennsylvania was one of the worst. … They hadn't submitted a single mental health record," Rosen said. "By the time we circled back in 2014, they were the best state in the country with hundreds of thousands of records in the system."

The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) has announced that its newest version of the LEED green building program — LEED v4.1 — is now open for registration for both new construction projects as well as interior spaces. The versions are named LEED v4.1 BD+C and LEED v4.1 ID+C, respectively.
"The hallmark of LEED is 'continuous improvement' — and that is exactly where we are going with LEED v4.1," said Mahesh Ramanujam, president & CEO, USGBP
The goal of LEED v4.1 is to make the rating system more accessible to more projects based on lessons learned from LEED v4 project teams. This newest beta version updates performance thresholds and referenced standards to ensure LEED remains the global leadership standard for green buildings and continues to expand the marketplace for LEED. The changes also advocate for improved performance throughout the life of buildings, rewards leaders based on their performance and incorporates performance reporting to enable building owners to track progress towards environmental, social, and governance goals. Currently, there are more than 96,200 commercial projects participating in LEED in 167 countries and territories.
"LEED v4.1 is aimed at addressing the challenges projects face as they pursue their sustainability goals," said Melissa Baker, senior vice president, USGBC. "BD+C updates referenced standards to encourage leadership and responds to market feedback. ID+C updates mirror BD+C while also focusing on the realities projects experience as they interact with their base building."
"As the global green building market has evolved, we must evolve with it," added Ramanujam. "The heart of the green building community's efforts must go well beyond construction and efficiency, and the materials that make up our buildings. We must dig deeper and focus on what matters most within those buildings: human beings. And this is what LEED v4.1 strives for. The standard we are most committed to raising is that of the quality of life itself — for every member of this community, and in populations spanning every corner of the planet."
Focused on implementation, LEED v4.1 is an accessible, user-friendly tool. To participate, users can register using LEED Online, review the LEED v4.1 Beta Guide, and download the LEED v4.1 rating system. The latest education videos and live online webinars featuring USGBC subject matter experts are also available.
Through LEED v4.1 USGBC is expanding its green building efforts to ensure LEED is not only the de facto leadership standard, but also the preeminent living standard. To tell those stories USGBC launched the Living Standard campaign to capture how USGBC, LEED and other sustainability programs are raising the quality of life for people around the world. By visiting livingstandard.org, individuals and companies can join the campaign and submit their stories.

You'll be surprised at what a demand there is for used cell phones just as there is for used computers, or anything else that has second hand value. There's a saying that goes 'one man's rubbish is another man's gold!' I'm not saying that used cell phones are rubbish of course! On the contrary, most are as good as the day they were purchased. But cellular mobile phones in particular soon become unwanted simply because the gap between the latest model and the last one is very short as the technology and designs seem to change with the wind. Additionally, these communication gadgets are also considered fashion accessories to many young people which is why they keep purchasing the latest models to hit the market.
So just who wants to purchase a used cell phone? Well, let's start with the less fortunate. We all know the benefits of owning a cell phone. From social chatting to making appointments, personal safety, and being available for others to contact you wherever you are, and not to mention having 911 or 999 (British) at your fingertips at any given time.
Every society has those that need a leg up in order to get on in life, and by donating used cell phones to appropriate charities will benefit many who feel they are getting left behind in a world where contact is so important. People who are less reachable in the 21st century, quite often get left behind in the fast pace of modern living. Then there are the older Mum's Dads, and grandparents who couldn't care less about cell phone technology, but the kids and grandchildren want them to be more contactable at any given time. But it's pointless spending big bucks on the latest all singing all dancing mobiles when you know the folks won't use any of the gadgetry. In these cases a refurbished or good working second hand model will do them just fine.
Charitable Recycling: Folks give their old cell phones to Charitable Recycling who then disposes of the mobile component safely. The money raised will go to a charity of your choice. A very worthy project! Cell phones and their batteries contain a lot of perilous materials which can harm the environment if not disposed of properly. Therefore, it's very important to know how and where to recycle e-waste in an environmentally friendly way and the charitable options is the way to go here.
And finally, let's not forget the collectors. The world is full of folks who just love to collect and there's probably nothing that's not considered collectable by someone somewhere. Used cellular phones are no different and it'll only be a matter of time when we read about some rare model from the 1980's fetching an absolute fortune at auction. So you see, there's definitely an after-market for used cell phones.
Read more about today' s phone's and services including a take on the Satellite Phone, a look at Phone Services, and choosing the right Family Cell Phone Plans. All this and more at Modish Phones dot com.

The biggest and best party buses are everywhere in New Jersey these days, and there is good reason.
Party buses have special appeal to young people getting together for the Spring Prom or other special event.
All of the party bus limos have excellent extras inside them, including karaoke machines, smoke machines, bubble machines, touch screen music systems, on tap bar facilities, poker dens, playboy dens, dance pole, color changing disco ceiling, strobe lighting, fiber optics and even more.
There are a range of different themes and styles for a New Jersey party bus. You should always be aware of the limousine you are renting and discuss everything in advance with your New Jersey limousine service. If the limo is advertised as a party bus, make sure it is the one you want. If you want a real party bus, then be sure that is exactly what your group will be getting.
It's important to make that your day enjoyable and memorable, largely in part to having the right limo service available. You'll want to make sure that their drivers are professional, and that their limos meet your expectations. Many NJ limo companies will go the extra mile to deliver the best experience possible. You deserve no less.
Also, if you are hiring a car for a business trip, check out a company that handles corporate clients on a regular basis. Find a reputable service that exceeds the expectations of the customer.
No one wants to be concerned about driving to a meeting or to catch a flight. Local laws prevent taxi drivers from allowing more than a certain number of passengers in one vehicle, even if it is a larger vehicle such as a minivan. When you decide to use for a limo service, you will have time and convenience working in your favor.
If you're visiting an area that you're not familiar with, you could find yourself travelling new streets after. Sometimes, it can take much longer to get to the airport from your hotel if there are numerous stops before you arrive. You can enjoy your special event in luxury and comfort by hiring a limousine.
Here's a quick limo tip:
Find out what other people are saying about your selected limo provider.
Consider that arriving in a limo represents style, but also that limousine services are going to be offering special.

RESCUING OUR RETIREMENT PLANS What Your 401(k) Provider Doesn't Want You to Know
This chapter could be considered a cautionary tale of what happens when we fail to read the fine print and trust others to handle our 401K accounts without our active oversight. But in reality it is an educational segment of the extra fees that are associated with the use of our plans.
The authors take their time explaining how fees impact your retirement accounts. They detail the extra expenses such as:
- Contract asset charges
- Investment expenses
- Investment management services
- Record keeping
- Communication expenses
- Bookkeeping expenses
- Administrative expenses
- Legal expenses
- Transactional expenses
- Stewardship expenses
It cautions is on provides information on other programs which may not include the excessive fees. Below are a few key points from the chapter.
Become educated about your 401k fees
A worker who earns about $90,000 a year would lose $277,000 in 401(k) fees.
Tony Robbins, Unshakeable
"This is why it's so important to be aware of how the financial industry stacks the odds against you. Knowledge is your first defense. After all, how can you protect yourself from a threat to your financial well-being unless you know that this threat exists?" – Tony Robbins
"Think of fees like termites: they're tiny, they're barely noticeable, and they can eat away your f———g future." – John Oliver
"The corrosive power of fine print and buried fees can eat away like a chronic illness at a person's savings." – Secretary of Labor Thomas E. Perez
Understand who is participating in the mutual fund pool.
"Many of the funds you get to choose from in your 401(k) plan are on the list only because the fund company paid the provider to include them! These funds tend to be actively managed, so they're expensive. And they're rarely the best performers. In some cases, they even charge a "front-end load": a fee that often amounts to 3% of your assets just to buy the fund in the first place." – Tony Robbins
Check your company's 401K fees
"Whether you are a business owner or an employee, you can see how your company's 401(k) plan stacks up by using his free online Fee Checker tool at http://www.ShowMeTheFees.com. It will analyze your plan and calculate within seconds how much you're being charged in fees." – Tony Robbins

Had such a beautiful September day for Alex & Hailey's wedding! They had their ceremony and reception at Three Bridges Banquet Hall which was such a great setting for their happy medium between a country and city wedding. The ceremony was very family oriented with them surprising their mothers by giving them a white rose at the beginning and then the parents presenting a letter and bottle of wine to be locked away in their wine box which they later will open on an anniversary. Very sweet ideas.
Hailey did a lot of DYI for her decorations and they turned out lovely! During the Father Daughter and the Mother Son dances, they welcomed other father/daughters and mother/sons to come up and dance with them which was a unique and special. Complete Music did a fantastic job of providing all the music for the day and getting the party started.
We took photos at a local apple orchard and along the Millrace Trail in St Jacobs. Their wedding party was a blast and made it a lot of fun. Alex & Hailey were really sweet with one another and looked stunning. The wind that day even made for some gorgeous veil shots. Hailey also seemed to attract a lot of wild life as we came across a praying mantis up the skirt of her dress and a snake along the path.. So every time she would get excited I would be like "oh no what is it this time!"
I was such an honour to have captured their day. I have enjoyed our time together and being apart of the process in preparing for the day. Wishing them nothing but the best in their new life together! Cheers

Non-format specific portions of this review also appear in our Blu-ray review of 'Old School.'
When 'National Lampoon's Animal House' premiered back in 1978, it instantly redefined big-screen comedy. Its blockbuster success led to a wave of collegiate-themed, low-budget quickies, all filled with beer-guzzling frat boys, sorority girls not shy about taking their tops off, and plenty of gross-out humor involving bodily functions. Even now, almost thirty years later, it's not hard to spot the lineage between 'Animal House' and everything from the spoog-in-the-hair antics of 'There's Something About Mary' to the self-mutilating shenanigans of the 'Jackass' movies.
But what so many of 'Animal House's imitators have failed to realize was that what made the film work was a combination of strengths that were far more than just an assemblage of dirty jokes. 'Animal House' certainly had the gross-out factor, but it also had a cast of lovable losers everyone could identify with, an abundance of truly inspired wit to balance out the over-the-top slapstick, and a fearlessly anarchistic attack on the oppressive values of bourgeois intellectualism. Genuine comedic smarts married with inspired outrageousness is a rare combination on the big screen, but 'Animal House' had it in spades.
'Old School' is a film that desperately wants to be the 'Animal House' of its generation. It's nowhere near as good, but it does get close enough to the same mix of inspired lunacy that it at least earns the comparison. 'Old School' has an approach to its humor that is perceptive yet absurd, and manages to make us care about the foibles of its characters where so many other films of is ilk don't even bother to try. It also happens to be a pretty darn funny film -- in fact, I probably haven't laughed this hard since the last time I watched 'Animal House' on high-def.
The plot of 'Old School' will certainly be familiar to anyone who has seen 'Animal House' or of the other college-set pictures that followed it. Mitch (Luke Wilson) has just lost his cheating girlfriend, and he's about to lose his house, too. So his married pals Frank "The Tank" (Will Ferrell) and Beanie (Vince Vaughn) hatch an inane plot. They'll turn Mitch's house into a fraternity, and get to relive their glory days of lost, inebriated youth all over again. But their plan works too well. Suddenly, the frat is the biggest on campus and the antics are wildly out-of-control, leaving the dean (Jeremy Piven) no choice but to shut them down.
Much of the credit for the success of 'Old School' should go to its young writer-director Todd Phillips ('Road Trip'). He's obviously studied 'Animal House' and other comedy classics of the era (such as 'The Blues Brothers' and 'Stripes') and realizes what made them so memorable. A movie is funnier when we actually like the characters, and even the silliest stories can offer enlightenment if we can recognize something of our own experience in their predicament. For all of its zaniness, 'Old School' doesn't shy away from painting its lead characters as the sad, pathetic men they are growing up to be. In fact, 'Old School' arguably draws as much inspiration from such mid-life crisis comedies as Blake Edwards' '10' as it does 'Animal House,' and by blending the two, Phillips manages to illuminate some painful human truths far beyond his own years.
It helps that Wilson, Ferrell and Vaughn deliver some of the best comedic performances of their career. That they can do the gags is no surprise, but each also finds a believable center to their character that makes them well-defined and three-dimensional. Ferrell in particular is not only go-for-broke in his manic energy, but here hints for the first time at the more serious side of his personality that he would explore in such recent films as 'Stranger Than Fiction.' The inspired pathos in his portrayal of the aging Frank gives 'Old School' a surprising weight.
None of this is to say that 'Old School' is a masterpiece of human drama. Make no mistake, this a low-brow comedy first and foremost. In fact, Phillips is so concerned with keeping the gross-out gags flying fast and furious that at times his desire to please reeks of desperation. Still, purely on the level of unapologetic dumb-ass humor, 'Old School' had me laughing so hard that I thought I might pee my pants.
'Old School' originally hit home video at a time when the studios were just beginning to archive new titles in high-def en masse, in anticipation of coming formats like HD DVD. As such, this 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 encode from DreamWorks appears to have been struck from the same master as the previous DVD released back in 2003. But that's not a bad thing, as that earlier transfer was a solid one, and there is a noticeable (if not gargantuan) upgrade in terms of clarity and detail on the high-def version.
I wouldn't call 'Old School' a particularly classy looking picture, but we have certainly come a long way from the vintage '70s look of low-budget studio comedies like 'Animal House.' 'Old School' has a bright and detailed look, with professional photography and a nice use of saturated color. Hues are consistently pleasing and firm, and fleshtones generally accurate. Contrast burns a bit hot at times, but doesn't flatten out colors or depth to much of a degree. Detail is quite good for what is otherwise a stylistically straightforward movie, with only some softness and a slight loss of texture in its darkest scenes. DreamWorks has also produced a very clean VC-1 encode, with the slick and smooth veneer that has become a trademark of the codec well in evidence.
In what's sure to disappoint some fans, 'Old School' is the latest in a series of HD DVD releases from DreamWorks to eschew high-res audio support. Having said that, this one probably wouldn't have benefited all that much from a Dolby TrueHD track or the like, as the film's sound design is hardly unique or inventive.
The Dolby Digital-Plus 5.1 Surround track (1.5mbps) we do get suffers from comedy-itis, which is to say that like most films in its genre, it's pretty much a stereo mix with a few discrete effects thrown in. Only a few boisterous party moments and the use of songs on the soundtrack benefit from any rear action, and most of the time I forgot the surround speakers were even activated. This is still a professionally recorded mix, however, and the cleanliness of dynamic range and the hefty bass left me pleasantly surprised. Dialogue is front and center as it should be, and only during a couple of the very loudest party scenes did the music and supporting effects seem a tad overpowering. Perfectly serviceable.
'Old School' hit standard DVD back in 2003 in several Unrated and Rated editions, each with a collection of supplements long on self-effacing comedy but short on substance. DreamWorks hasn't produced anything new for this HD DVD release, but we do get a complete port of that earlier package, presented here in standard-def only.
'Old School' is a gleefully tasteless collegiate comedy in the tradition of 'Animal House.' Though I didn't think it scaled quite the same sublime comedic heights of its '70s precursor, I did laugh louder and longer than I have for any other movie in recent memory. This HD DVD release from DreamWorks is also a winner, with a surprisingly strong transfer and a nice batch of extras as humorous as the film itself. The only real disappointment here is a Dolby Digital surround track that just doesn't cut it. Otherwise, 'Old School' easily makes the grade on high-def.

When they're not rocking the tennis courts, Venus and Serena Williams spend a lot of their time giving back to their hometown of Compton, CA.
The powerhouse sisters' latest endeavour is aimed at helping victims of violence in the community.
The Champions are slated to launch the Yetunde Price Resource Center, which is the first major project to come out of the Williams Sister Fund.
Aja Brown, mayor of Compton, related a statement about the generous commitment to the communication and said, "This is an incredible investment and commitment by Serena and Venus Williams, and I commend them for their desire to help children and families in Compton thrive.
The center's goal is to connect those affected by violence in the Compton community with service providers. In addition, the staff at the new center will develop customized plans and serve as a liaison between the people and the agencies that will assist them.
Venus and Serena named the center in honor of their sister, Yetunde Price, who was killed by acts of gun violence in 2003.
"The resource center will serve as vital support to existing nonprofits and organizations that provide critical services to our community. I understand first-hand the power of partnership, and I am confident that the resource center will play a major role in breaking down silos in our community by facilitating key partnerships to increase asset leveraging and expanding the impact of services," said Brown.
"The resource center will be able to map all of the resources in and around the Compton community while providing customized assistance that will be a vital asset to improving our ability to service our youth, adults and families."
Gatorade is also chipping in to the community by refurbishing two tennis courts in the community and dedicating them to the Williams sisters. The courts will be unveiled this weekend (November 12).

Speaking of the folks at DJ Tech Tools and modding controllers, my friend Matt Moldover is pushing a new term he's coined, "controllerism." Moldover, pictured here with his hacked-up Novation ReMOTE keyboard at the last Handmade Music event from CDM, Etsy, and Make, has a rig that combines custom Reaktor ensembles, Ableton Live, and modified controllers. His idea is I think to separate digital DJs using vinyl (following in the steps of the original turntablists) from those adding other performance elements unique to computers.
For more, here's Ean Golden's feature for Remix Magazine:
MUSIC MANEUVERS: Discover the digital turntablism concept, "controllerism," compliments of Moldover
I'm curious to hear what people think of the idea. I enjoy what Matt's doing, but I'm less into trying to put a specific label on it. Controllers have long been a part of computer music performance in all genres; I'm not terribly into the term "laptop music", either, for the same reason. I'm not even into throwing out vinyl yet, either, especially when it can be used to power vibrating chairs and installation art with tree trunks — to say nothing of the folks who are still better at scratching vinyl than most of us are at, well, everything else. (Ironically, here at Create Digital Music I think we tend to be less pro-digital than Ean is, when he suggests anyone not embracing digital is a dinosaur.) Then again, I'm not all that into separating DJs from, you know, music. But regardless, maybe controllerism is a good term. Certainly, having seen Matt play, I think "musician" works pretty well, too.
Matt I know meant to be provocative. So I'm very interested to hear what you think.

Source Rvision TV, 10 April
Kyauktaw, Arakan- As many as 78 Rohingyas from Kyauktaw township are missing as armed Rakhine (Maghs) terrorists attacked them in a forest on their way to Buthidaung and Maungdaw yesterday.
"Around 10PM on 7th April , around 90 extremely poor Rohingyas from the township of Kyauktaw were leaving their homes for Buthidaung and Maungdaw through Rathedaung as they were rendered jobless and all their access to livelihoods were cut off by the government and Rakhine extremists. Besides, they receive no aids from any NGOs or INGOs.
There were 15 females and other were males including children and adults. And there were three agents with them as well. Amidst a forest called 'Aaga Taung" on their way to Rathedaung at the last territory of Kyauktaw township, a group of armed Magh (Rakhine) Terrorists launched gun attacks on them. As a result, they got dispersed and lost contact with one another as they ran for their lives to their sights.
Twelve of them managed to come back to Kyauktaw and others are still missing. No woman has returned yet. No one knows their whereabouts yet. They might have been killed or are still alive. Therefore, we request anyone who finds any of them out to give them refugee as they are in grave trouble" anxiously said a local of Kyauktaw.
"Armed Rakhine terrorists have escalted terror activities in Arakan recently. We find no way to go. We are worried of another violence against us by Rakhine terrorists" he added.

What quickly came to be known as "Tresselball" wasn't always the most easily digestible, particularly after high profile losses. Despite the detractors, the Senator would ensure Ohio State rolled through the majority of the opposition, only falling below 10 wins in two of Tressel's 10 seasons.
After a solid year in 2009 ended in style in Pasadena taking down the University of Oregon in Ohio State's first Rose Bowl in over a decade, expectations grew for the 2010 squad. Following defeating the University of Miami and starting the season 5-0, a Wisconsin loss would effectively doom the Buckeyes' chances of reaching that year's title game. Alas, a Sugar Bowl season-ending victory over Arkansas would soon more than ease the pain of perfection's escape. Amid all of the celebrations of shaking the snide of the winless post-season streak against the SEC, Ohio State would soon be rocked by NCAA sanctions that culminated in the loss of a legendary coach (and his adjoined reputation), cost the 2011 Buckeyes four starters for 5-10 games, and led to the departure of their would be starter and once heralded five star quarterback.
Fast forward to November 28th, 2011 when Urban Meyer was introduced as the head football coach at Ohio State. Following Jim Tressel's dominance of the Big Ten for the better part of 10 years, Buckeye fans knew that Meyer was one of the few coaches that could match (or potentially even exceed) the almost unwieldy expectations established by Tressel himself.
Now entering Urban's first season as the Buckeyes' head coach, what can Ohio State fans expect out of Meyer? With Tressel's departure now over a year removed, there's no doubt that Ohio State football will soon be adopting a new identity. Given Meyer's own personal history and pedigree, what should the Buckeye faithful expect relative to his predecessor?
|BCS Conference Statistics
|Jim Tressel
|Urban Meyer
|Overall Record
|106-22 (83%)
|65-15 (82%)
|Conference Record
|66-14 (83%)
|36-12 (75%)
|Bowl Record
|vs. Rivals
|21-6 (78%)*
|17-2 (89%)*
|Championships (Conf)
|National Championships
|Players Drafted (1st Round)
* Tressel against Michigan, Penn State, and Illinois. Meyer versus Florida State, Georgia, and Tennessee.
Breaking down the two coaches' previous BCS-level track records, you can see a similar overall winning percentage and comparable in-conference success. While Tressel may had the higher overall winning percentage in conference play, Meyer accomplishing what he did during the golden age of the Southeastern Conference deserves much credit in and of itself. Both had their fair share of good fortune against their rivals as well, including Tressel's absurd 9-1 record against Michigan.
While Tressel earns an edge over Urban in the conference championship category, the SEC crowned their champions on the field and was far less generous in regards to dishing out easy co-championships for finishing with the same conference mark in the way the Big Ten did before last season.
Perhaps the stat that should give Ohio State fans the most room for optimism though would be Urban's record in bowl games. To point, Meyer's never lost a BCS game and gone an astounding 7-1 overall in the post-season while the head coach of the Florida Gators. Jim Tressel's own personal mark is nothing to scoff at, but Meyer's accomplishments in such a short period of time are virtually unrivaled in all of college football.
Both coaches can hold their heads high when it comes to their players being drafted in the first round of the NFL Draft. Tressel had an astounding 14 picks, while Meyer still accounts for a more than respectable eight first rounders. While the talent both coaches brought in to their respective schools year in year out was amongst the best in the country annually, actually making sure that talent developed according to plan tool deserves its fair share of high praise.
No matter what metrics we take into consideration, there's still no such thing as a sure bet in college football. While Meyer's previous accomplishments may lend themselves to giving us clues as to how his tenure as Ohio State's head coach may play its way out, there's no numbers or otherwise that can tell us without fail. That doesn't mean Ohio State fans should necessary be cynical, particularly when there's rhyme and reason to think the past decade might be a nice lead in as to what's yet to come:
In his first season [Meyer's] teams have improved by at least two games at each of his previous three stops. Even more impressive, Meyer's teams have never won fewer than eight games in his first season -- or any season he has coached for that matter. Meyer has engineered an offensive turnaround everywhere he's been, however it usually takes a year for his system to thrive.
In his first year at a new school Meyer's teams have ranked right around 60th in total offense. However in the second year at the school, Meyer's teams have averaged out to be about 10th among FBS teams in total offense.
In fact it is likely 2013 and not 2012 in which the Buckeyes will be back in BCS prominence. Urban Meyer went undefeated in his second season at Utah and won his first National Championship in his second season at Florida.
While the George Santayana idiom (that's become a cliché in spite of it being interpreted by the masses outside it's original context ) "those who cannot remember the past, are condemned to repeat it" might not be perfectly analogous in this particular case study, there's few reasons not to think that the Big Ten as a whole may be feeling like Bill Murray in "Groundhog's Day" should Urban Meyer's own personal coaching history play itself out similarly as it has in the past.

The official in-charge of Apiculture at Audu Bako College of Agriculture, Kano State, Mr Dauda Abbas, says Nigeria has the potential to produce 20 million litres of honey annually.
Abbas made the disclosure in Katsina on Monday, April 2, 2018 in an interview with News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
He spoke to NAN after a three-day training programme on poultry, fisheries and bee-keeping organised for members of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ).
''The current production of honey liquid in Nigeria is two million but the expected production is 20 million.
''We have the potential to produce that because majority of bee species in Africa reside in Nigeria due to favourable climatic conditions.
''However, Tanzania and Kenya produce more honey than Nigeria,'' he said.
He stated that Adamawa, Kogi, Nasarawa, and Kaduna states as well as the Federal Capital Territory were producing most of the nation's honey.
Abbas expressed regret that Nigeria was producing below its capacity in honey due to lack of commitment from government.
''We have all the climatic conditions that bees required, only that we are not encouraged to live up to expectations; this aspect of agriculture is neglected by the government.
''People consider bees as nuisance but bees are friends that can live with human beings at homes, farms, forests and elsewhere.
''So, we need more enlightenment on that by the media,'' he said.
He said that beekeeping was not a money-intensive venture, as all that was required was to mount hives for bees to produce honey and ensure places for them to collect nectar from trees.
Abbas, who revealed that honey could be used for medicinal purposes, explained that bees produce venom that could be used for treatment of rashes, cancer, stroke and hypertension.
He said government could also generate employment opportunities through honey production, and advised all tiers of government in the country to focus attention on bees keeping.

William (Billy) Orson Clough was my great grand uncle. Born in Hamburg, Erie county, New York to Orson Clough and Julia Marsh, 23 November 1851.
In the 1855 New York State Census W. (Billy) Clough (4) was living or visiting his paternal grandparents B.J. and L. Clough in Hamburg, New York.
In the 1860 US Census William (9) is now living with or visiting an uncle and aunt, Benjamin and Lucinda Clough in DuPage, Illinois. he and his sister (Ida May) both spent much of their childhood with people other then their parents, at least when it came to the census time.
1876 finds William (25) registered to vote in Visalia, Tulare county, California where he is listed as a telephone operator. Then in 1878 before his 28 birthday he registered to vote and is listed as an Agent in Visalia.
The 1880 Census finds William O. Clough (28) listed as a Laborer. In Kaweah and Mineral King, Tulare, California.
It was during this time period that Billy Clough discovered a cave in the southwestern part of Sequoia National Park. Many articles have been written about the caves that became known as Clough's Cave. And you will find it in Place Names of the Sierra Nevada by Peter Browning. Below an article about Clough's Cave and four other caves found in the Sequoia National Park.
The 1890 Califoria voter registration we find William (37) in Tulare listed as a stock raiser.
In the 1896 California voter registration, William is shown as 44 years old, being 5′ 8 1/4″ tall, having a light complex, blue eyes and dark hair. His occupation is listed as miner.
In 1910 we find William (57) living/visiting with his mother, Julia (Marsh) and step father Ira Blossom in Lemon Cove, south fork of Kaweaha Road. William's occupation is listed as a miner.
These newspaper clippings and the one above were found in Visalia at the Library in their Historical Record files.
From this article you can see that Billy was a colorful character. Billy was always the last to leave the mountains before winter set in and was the one to shut the gates on the Edison Power Dams.
In 1917 Uncle Billy, at 66 years old, did not come out of the mountains. My family story is that my grandfather (Ike Putnam) and his half brother Ed Bryant and my great Aunt Blanche rode in to search for Uncle Billy, but while a few of his things were found, he was not and it was speculated that a bear or a cougar got him. This article mentions that a diary was found that said he shut the gates on Nov. 2 and that was his last entry. I wonder what happened to that diary. What happened to Uncle Billy we will never know, either the winter storm caught him unaware or some mountain animal took him down. The mountains were his home and his final resting place.

Lakers guard Sasha Vujacic's left ankle is a bit more banged up than he thought.
After coming up gimpy with what was believed to be a sprained left ankle on the first day of training camp, Vujacic confirmed through a second medical examination Monday that he has a fractured ankle, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Vujacic had an MRI last week on the ankle, which revealed that he had fractured the ankle earlier and aggravated it during the opening practice session.
Vujacic, who signed a three-year, $15 million contract this summer, will be sidelined for at least another 10 days, according to the Times. The fifth-year guard said his goal is to be back playing within a week, when he will have his ankle re-evaluated.
"I realize that it is what it is. You've got to play it smart. And, it's going to be OK," Vujacic said, according to the Times. "Right now, it's just a little bit frustrating."

100 years
Remember this picture from a previous post? It is of maintstreet Clinton, MN, in 2010.
Here's a photo of mainstreet Clinton, MN, taken in 1910.
The arrows on the right side of the road are pointing to the same building in both pictures. Also for the arrows on the left side of the road. The two-story brick building on the extreme right of the older photo is also still standing, although it is not shown in the 2010 photo. I can't tell if the building that our current grocery store resides in (the far left building in the 2010 photo) is original or not. I'm thinking not.
So, I think that only three buildings from 1910 are still standing in 2010. Seems a shame to me, to lose all those lovely old buildings. The thing is, buildings take money. Roofs, mortar, paint, plumbing, etc. And money is something not a lot of people in our neck of the woods have had a lot of during the last 100 years.
The population in 1910 was 384. In 2000 it was 453. In 2009 it was estimated at 401. I wonder what this year's census will tell us.

great find on the photos! We are lucky in my hometown of Red Wing that most of the old buildings are still there, but it's probably due to the intense tourism and historical preservation that went on there.

I love old towns and photos of old towns! Thank you for sharing! That's interesting that the population really has not changed a whole lot in the last 100 years!

I am currently living here in SE Alabama in a little town called Daleville. Not too far from Dothan.
Just went back and read your posting's that I have missed. Been offline for over a month due to a little flooding.
Thanks to you I just ordered 48 dollars worth of seeds. Tomatoes and peppers to start. Going to be using buckets this time.
We are in the process of buying an acre of land down the road. So next summer I will be planting more things. Hopefully this fall I will be putting in to start 4 square foot gardening boxes. Doesn't sound like much but it will be a start. Since I am 62 and an ex nurse now disabled I am a little limited as too how much work I can do. Hopefully will get hubby totally involved also.
You are an inspiration to me so keep posting.
Love it when you talk about your storage cellar and canning. I love to cook and have done some limited canning over the years. Like tomatoes, pickles, sauces, and jellies. So have a lot to learn.
Thanks for all the things you talk about.

That's really something else, to compare views of the same street taken 100 years apart. I love old buildings, too.
I especially liked the horse-drawn conveyances and the way they parked their buggies and wagons diagonally in the old photo. That method of transportation seemed to work pretty well - a shame we let that way of moving ourselves and our stuff become too slow, too difficult, too bothersome to use anymore.

Hi Erin! Yeah, Red Wing is beautiful. Ortonville actually still has more old buildings than Clinton does, so there are some pockets of preservation out here.
Hey Tammy -- Yeah, I like old pics too. I've got a mess of them on my computer and someday I will post more of them.
Hello LindaSue -- Thanks for your nice comments. Good luck on your gardening, and with your land purchase. It's definitely a good idea to start small, rather than bite off more than you can chew!
Hi Thistledog! Yeah, it is interesting to compare the two photos. The buggies are parked pretty much the same direction as the cars today!
- March 12, 2010 at 9:58 PM
I love these comparison pictures! I can't tell...are those horse-drawn wagons in the old pictures??? Maybe that's a stupid question, but I can't tell from the back wheels!!!

Hey big sis! Yes, those are horse drawn wagons. Makes your realize just how many horses there used to be around everywhere.
