European Commission
Brussels, 25 February 2014
Cecilia Malmström welcomes European Parliament's vote on new EU rules to crack down on crime profits
Today the European Parliament adopted a Commission's proposal for a Directive on the freezing and confiscation of proceeds of crime in the EU:
"I welcome today's vote by the European Parliament on this important Directive which will make it easier for the police to hit organised crime where it really hurts – by going after their profits.
The Commission made ambitious proposals and the agreed EU-wide rules fill important gaps which are exploited by persons belonging to organised criminal groups.
They enhance the ability of Member States to confiscate assets that have been transferred to third parties and assets which are not directly linked to a specific crime, but which clearly result from other criminal activities by the convicted person.
The Directive also makes it easier to confiscate criminal assets even when a criminal conviction is not possible because the suspect is ill or is a fugitive and ensures that competent authorities can temporarily freeze assets that risk disappearing if no action is taken. Moreover, it recommends that confiscated assets should be reused for public and social purposes. These are significant improvements.
I trust that these new rules will help us taking on criminal threats together. Clearly law enforcement and judicial authorities will have greater means to recover a more significant proportion of the illegal profits that end up in the criminals' pockets or a reinvested into legal assets or activities.
This is good news for citizens and the functioning of our economy. Facilitating asset confiscation will hamper criminal activities and deter criminality by showing that crime does not pay. It will also protect our economy against criminal infiltration and corruption. Recovering more assets in favour of the State will have a significant impact on victims of crime, taxpayers and society as a whole", said Cecilia Malmström, EU Commissioner for Home Affairs.

I think I might have missed your point and you subsequently missed mine. Are you suggesting that Luongo can't and won't be traded?vic wrote: Totally disagree, Fan.
I was writing under the assumption that Luongo is willing to be traded. If so, I suggested that Gillis should focus on keeping the goalie that management thinks is the best goalie going forward (i.e. identify the goalie you want to go forward with first). Say Gillis determines that Schneider is the goalie he wants to be in the Canucks' net going forward. Gillis should then determine Schneider's signability. If Schneider isn't willing to sign long term do you want to trade away Luongo for Schneider? If Schneider can be signed to a long-term contract you then look to maximize the return for Luongo. But my main point is that you identify the goalie you want to keep the most first because gthe goaltending position is important. After that, try to maximize the return for the goalie you less want to keep regardless of the fact you might get a better return dealing the goalie you want to keep the most.
Obviously, if Luongo can't and won't be traded then ya you concentrate on maximizing the return for Schneider.

"Those in search of eternal life need look no further than the computer industry. Here, last gasps are rarely taken, as aging systems crank away in back rooms across the U.S., not unlike 1970s reruns on Nickelodeon's TV Land. So while it may not be exactly easy for Novell NetWare engineers and OS/2 administrators to find employers who require their services, it's very difficult to declare these skills -- or any computer skill, really -- dead." My Take: "C" dying should have been "x86 Assembly".

With Israel a top travel destination the world over thanks to its abundant cultural, religious , historical, archaeological, and technological sights, it was only natural for ISRAEL21c to develop a "Postcard from Israel" video series in which we highlight slices of life from around the country.
These short travel-logs offer a taste of new locations, and tell a visual story about a city or street, or place, and the people who make the destination special
Our newest video in this series shines a spotlight on the Jerusalem Light Rail. It's not just a ride from point A to B, but rather a short trip through history. The Light Rail brings everyone – Jews, Christians, Muslims, religious, secular — on board and glides past all the Holy City's main sights including Mount Herzl, the Old City, downtown, Yad Vashem and Mount Scopus. So, hop on board our video and click to watch:
We also focused in on another Jerusalem attraction – the First Station. The newest culture and culinary hub in the capital has given the 130-year-old Israel Railways property a totally new life. Have a look:
Our postcard series also gave viewers a trip down Emek Refaim in Jerusalem. This busy thoroughfare in the city's German Colony is brimming with eateries, boutique stores and crafts fairs. And the best time to visit – in person or visually – is on a Friday morning:
Haifa was the first video to launch our postcard series. The seaport city known for its spectacular views, religious harmony and the Baha'i World Center is one of the country's top destinations for international and domestic tourists alike. Israeli musician Yair Yona lent us his beautiful music as the backdrop and the result is a gorgeous mini tour of the city in video. Take a break for two minutes to watch:
We also took a turn onto the road less travelled to Rehovot, home of the world-renowned Weizmann Institute of Science and the innovative school of agriculture of the Hebrew University. This video takes the viewer on a scenic tour of the science city's parks, shopping areas and even to an underground secret bullet factory. Click to watch:
ISRAEL21c's video section is already brimming with nearly 700 original clips. Many of our videos have been picked up by other international media organizations including CNN, Discovery Channel and IBA News, among others.
ISRAEL21c has the honor of being the most-viewed non-profit channel from Israel on YouTube. Check in regularly for our other videos, and of course, to keep up to date with our Postcard from Israel series.
If you'd like to see a certain place highlighted in series, please leave a comment below.

Image Sensors World Go to the original article...Yole Developpement releases "Uncooled Infrared Imagers market & technology trends" report: "Today the uncooled IR camera market is showing an 8% CAGR between 2016 and 2022 reaching almost US$ 4.4 billion at the end of the period. Only few players control this industry. In 2016, two leading companies, FLIR and ULIS, both with different market strategies and solutions, owned more than 75% of the total market (in volume).
Besides FLIR and ULIS, many others players are also benefiting from IR imaging market growth:
• SEEK Thermal has introduced its new, higherperformance RevealPRO, and CompactPRO products as the company moves from consumer products to more high-end products.
• Players such as BAE Systems or Leonardo DRS are benefiting from the defense market growth cycle that could still last for a few more years.
• Newcomers are introducing their products, for example, Teledyne Dalsa released its first Vox microbolometers in 2017.
• Many companies in China are developing their own microbolometers. They do not produce large volumes today but the domestic market has great potential.
• On the other hand companies like Bosch, long involved in the MEMS and infrared businesses, have changed their strategies."
"2016 was a good year for the microbolometer market. There were almost 900,000 uncooled IR camera shipments, worth $2.7B in revenues thanks to a dynamic commercial market and continued growth for military applications. Many commercial applications drove this growth, including thermography, surveillance, PVS and firefighting. In 2022, we estimate there will be 1.7M units shipped.
Thermography is still the leading commercial market by far, in both value and volume. We estimate that there will be 500,000 thermography units shipped annually by 2022. As camera prices continue to fall, with several new products below $1000, sales are growing.
Surveillance is another interesting market. Until recently, thermal cameras have primarily been used in high-end surveillance for critical and government infrastructure. New municipal and commercial applications with lower price points are now arising, including traffic, parking, power stations and photovoltaic planning. We estimate this market will grow at almost 17% over 2017-2022 to reach 300,000 units by 2022.
Night vision in cars, including autonomous vehicles, could boost the microbolometer market. China is already a large market for automotive night vision, absorbing 25% of the total number of systems produced. In coming years, China will continue to account for a high share of this market."

Alternate Names
Renal calculi - self-care; Nephrolithiasis - self-care; Stones - kidney - self-care
What to Expect at Home
You visited your doctor or the hospital because you have a kidney stone. You doctor will ask you to take some self-care steps that depend on the type of stone you have.
Your doctor may:
- Ask you to drink extra water and other liquids
- Ask you to eat more of some foods and to cut back on other foods
- Give you medicines to help prevent stones
Your doctor may ask you to try to catch your kidney stone. You can do this by collecting all of your urine and straining it. Your doctor or nurse will tell you how to do this.
What a Kidney Stone Is
A kidney stone is a solid piece of material that forms in a kidney. A stone may get stuck in one of your two ureters (the tubes that carry urine from your kidneys to your bladder), the bladder, or the urethra (the tube that carries urine from your bladder to outside your body).
Kidney stones may be the size of sand or gravel, as large as a pearl, or even larger. A stone can block the flow of your urine and cause great pain. A stone may also break loose and travel through your urinary tract all the way out of your body without causing too much pain.
There are four major types of kidney stones.
- Calcium is the most common type of stone. Calcium can combine with other substances, such as oxalate (the most common substance), to form the stone.
- A uric acid stone may form when your urine contains too much acid.
- A struvite stone may form after an infection in your urinary system.
- Cystine stones are rare. The disease that causes cystine stones runs in families.
Drinking a lot of fluid is important for treating and preventing all types of kidney stones. Staying hydrated (having enough fluid in your body) will keep your urine diluted, and that makes it less likely stones will form.
- Water is best.
- You can also drink ginger ale, lemon-lime sodas, and fruit juices.
- Drink enough liquids throughout the day to make at least 2 quarts of urine every 24 hours.
- Drink enough to have light-colored urine. Dark yellow urine is a sign you are not drinking enough.
If you drink bottled water, read the label. Make sure it does not contain calcium or other ingredients that may be harmful. Ask your doctor if you are not sure.
Limit your coffee, tea, and cola to 1 or 2 cups a day. Caffeine may cause you to lose fluid too quickly, and that can make you dehydrated.
Diet and Calcium Stones
Follow these guidelines if you have calcium kidney stones:
- Eat less salt. Chinese and Mexican food, tomato juice, regular canned foods, and processed foods are usually high in salt. Look for low-salt or unsalted products.
- Have only 2 or 3 servings a day of foods with a lot of calcium. Some of these are milk, cheese, yogurt, oysters, and tofu.
- Lemons, lemonade, and oranges are helpful to eat
- Limit how much protein you eat. Choose lean meats.
- A low-fat diet is best.
Do not take extra calcium or vitamin D. They might cause more stones to form.
- Watch out for antacids that have extra calcium in them. Ask your doctor what antacids are okay for you.
- Your body still needs the normal amount of calcium you get from your daily diet.
Ask your doctor about taking vitamin C or fish oil. They may be harmful to you.
If your doctor says you have calcium oxalate stones, you may also need to limit foods that are high in oxalate. These foods include:
- Fruits: rhubarb, currants, canned fruit salad, strawberries, and Concord grapes
- Vegetables: beets, leeks, summer squash, sweet potatoes, spinach, and tomato soup
- Drinks: tea and instant coffee
- Other foods: grits, tofu, nuts, and chocolate
Diet and Uric Acid Stones
Avoid these foods if you have uric acid stones: alcohol, anchovies, sardines, oils, herring, organ meat (liver, kidney, and sweetbreads), legumes (dried beans and peas), gravies, mushrooms, spinach, asparagus, cauliflower, consommé, and baking or brewer?s yeast.

EA confirms new Need for Speed and Dead Space titles for fiscal 2013
New entries to the Dead Space and Need for Speed franchises are set to arrive sometime in the current fiscal year, EA confirmed during a financial call earlier today.
The games are to launch sometime prior to March 31st, 2013 (the end of fiscal 2013). More specifically, the Need for Speed title was listed on EA's financial results slideshow, scheduled for Q3 of FY 2013 (likely making it an October 2012 release).
EA noted Dead Space among its coming 'blockbuster' titles for the year, but provided little info outside the mention.
Dead Space 3 was listed last month by South African retailer BT Games.

— The alarm first sounded at 3:50 a.m. Friday, and Rickie Fowler hit the snooze button. He eventually rose and arrived at TPC River Highlands at about 4:45 for his 6:50 tee time.
For a California kid, it was like being on West Coast time.
"Very early," said Fowler, who shot a 5-under-par 65 in the second round of the Travelers Championship. "I flew out here Monday night [from California], got up at 6 o'clock Tuesday morning and Wednesday morning for my tee times. Luckily, I got to sleep in to 8 yesterday. Back to a 4 o'clock wakeup call [Friday]."
After shooting a 1-over 71 Thursday, Fowler played well Friday. He started on the 10th tee and scored two birdies before the turn.
Fowler later made an eagle on the par 4 No. 2 and was at 6-under before ending his round with a bogey on No. 9.
Last year, Fowler missed the cut in Cromwell. With a 136 he had no problem making the cut of 138 Friday.
"It was nice to be able to get some birdies going and get everything going in the right direction," he said.
Putting Costs Harrington
Padraig Harrington entered the day in a four-way tie for the lead at 6-under par. He finished the day lamenting his failure in one crucial area.
"Missed a lot of putts," said Harrington, who struggled to a 1-over 71 in the second round, leaving him at 5-under and in tie for 23rd. "It's the nature of the game. You need to be holing those putts in order to feel good about your game."
He didn't fare exceptionally well off the tee, either. His tee shot on the par-5 13th went out of bounds left, leading to a bogey on one of the course's best scoring holes. He followed with another bogey the par-4 14th. He had four bogeys overall.
But in general, Harrington said, his ball-striking remains solid enough for him to feel confident heading into the final 36 holes.
"I feel like there are a couple of good scores in me," he said. "But I'm disappointed."
Perry Finds His Way
Defending champ Kenny Perry made the cut by shooting a 68 (137). After bogeying his first two holes, that didn't look too likely. But he rallied with four birdies and no bogeys the rest of the way. … Hunter Mahan, the 2007 champion, missed the cut (72—143). He had scored in the 60s in 15 of his previous 19 rounds in Cromwell. He wasn't in that class in the first two rounds this year. At the par-4 15th, he drove the ball off the cart path right and deep into the thick brush. He took a penalty stroke and dropped no closer to the hole. The drop was on top of the hill near a residence. He needed two chips to reach the green. And one putt gave him a bogey. … John Daly (70—141) also missed the cut. … After shooting 70 in the first round, Tom Gleeton of the CC of Waterbury, the Connecticut Section PGA representative for his Spring Stroke Play Championship, shot a 77. Open qualifiers Derek Gillespie (68—140), Jason Caron (69-142), Brett Stegmaier (74-146) and Chris Rogers (73—149) didn't make the cut either.
Giving Spirit
After a 69 safely put Tim Petrovic (136) into this weekend's play, he spoke about The Hole In The Wall Gang Camp, one of the co-beneficiaries of the tournament. He had attended a gathering of about 10 campers after his Celebrity Pro-Am round Wednesday. He was inspired.
"Our charity, For Every Child, hopetotes.org, helps neglected and abused kids," said Petrovic, formerly of Glastonbury. "It's a similar kind of charity to Hole In The Wall. But their kids are sick and receiving treatment."
Petrovic said The Hole In The Wall Gang Camp founder, Paul Newman, was "Mr. Charity. If I can get close to his level in terms of helping, it'll be unbelievable." Newman died in 2008.
Decisive Turnaround
Two-time champion Stewart Cink said a few better decisions Thursday could have turned his 70 into a 64. He nearly backed up his word Friday. A bogey on the par-4 18th left him at 65 (135).
"I try to stay away from expectations, but I felt confident that if I hit some better shots and I gave myself some more birdie putts, eventually some of them would go," Cink said. … Billy Andrade finished with a 4-over 74 to miss the cut in his 23rd appearance at the Travelers Championship. The tournament was the first of the season for Andrade, now an analyst for the Golf Channel who received a sponsor's exemption to play. "It was really nice of them to do that," he said. "I hadn't played, and I don't want to take a spot away from another player, but to have a chance to play here a 23rd year in a row is pretty special." Andrade said he would like to play again next year. … The crowd Friday appeared much larger than that of Thursday, which was hurt by the afternoon thunderstorm that drove lots of fans home. At midday It took about 30 minutes for cars to get to the parking lot from Main Street. Tournament director Nathan Grube was encouraged. "The numbers in every category [concessions, merchandise and parking] are up," he said. "It might not have looked as crowded [Wednesday and Thursday] in certain areas because there are more things to do and places to go like the Fan Zone." … Kevin Stadler was disqualified for signing an incorrect scorecard after his first round 73 Thursday.

Just to clarify...My organization has never digitized any of it's
titles....we do not intend to digitize any titles...the VERY REASON why
TEACH states that you MUST purchase the digital format from the producer
WHEN AVAILABLE. Personally, I am not interested in any digitization of
our materials. I would buy the digital format, before I would attempt
that kind of work.
[When Mark further states to Elana in his post, "IF said institution
meets all said requirements of the TEACH Act, they are allowed BY LAW,
to provide said video materials." This is a most troubling statement.]
I don't know why that would be troubling. Meeting the requirements of
the TEACH Act includes the need to purchase digital format from the
producer, when available.
I have also had a number of discussions "off-list", from media
centers/librarians and producers. What troubles me most (and probably is
the cause of MY consternation) is the idea that the majority of
discussion centers on the idea that we, as media centers and libraries,
are somehow conducting all-out copying/pirating, or are GOING to, if
digital licenses are offered. There seems to be a fear that we will
suddenly become criminals, if a digital copy is permitted. The
assumption is as disconcerting as the accusation.
So...all that said...Chip, I'm NOT digitizing any of your
materials...under the TEACH Act, or any other legislation, or for any
other reason. IF an institution meets all of the requirements of the
TEACH Act, it CAN digitize video materials for
Since YOUR company provides a digital format and offers digital
licensing, YOUR materials are not going to be digitized for digital
distribution...ESPECIALLY by us law-abiding citizens! Of course, I was
merely the EXAMPLE, and of course it wasn't an insinuation that I MIGHT
have broken any laws or any terms of any agreement.
After all this verbiage, last time I met Chip he was with Chip Taylor
Communications, so I'LL USE HIM AS AN EXAMPLE. The TEACH Act doesn't
affect YOU since you offer a digital format...you've done your part...
nor does it affect me since I don't digitize anything...I buy the
digital format offered, thereby obeying the law.
Let me know if you are still "troubled".

Subject: [Videolib] RE: Insight Media's policy on digitization and
streaming- comments on 4 references
I want to thank Elana Joffe of Insight Media for posting Insight Media's
(IM's) revised policy (#1), which clearly states IM "cannot and does not
grant anyone rights to digitize or to digitally distribute any work
under the TEACH Act." When I first read Karen's post (#2) which
incorrectly stated, "All titles purchased (via IM) may be streamed," I
immediately contacted Elana, asking her to clarify to Karen (and Monique
(#3) and the Listserv) that although IM does re-sell DVDs/VHS from
companies such as Chip Taylor Communications, which include Public
Performance Rights, those DVDs/Video copies do not include a
Digitization/Streaming license, which must be acquired separately. I
also noticed two other producer/distributor companies, Annenberg Media
and BioMedia, posted that exact information on the Listserv regarding IM
not being able to extend digitization and/or streaming rights to their
Elana acted quickly and correctly and I applaud her for wanting to set
the record straight.
I then read Mark Kopp's post (#4), stating he did not fully understand
Elana's explanation.
Then he added, "does Insight Media intend to trump US Law?"
As attorney Arnold Lutzker makes very clear many times in the "Copyright
Compliance Series,"
(Website Link: http://www.chiptaylor.com/ttlmnp4526-.cfm) - Licensing
and Contract law does trump Copyright Law.
I did not see Mark's email in the post, but the last time I met him he
worked at IU #8; so I will use IU #8 as an example. IU #8 owns 16
programs on VHS it acquired with Public Performance Rights from CTC. If
IU #8 wants to digitize and/or stream any of those VHS programs, it has
to obtain a digitization and/or streaming license from CTC or else it
would be violating the license it now has with CTC. If IU #8 purchased
DVDs or VHS from IM, it would receive only a Public Performance License;
again, if it wanted a digitization and/or streaming license, that would
have to be obtained from CTC.
When Mark further states to Elana in his post, "IF said institution
meets all said requirements of the TEACH Act, they are allowed BY LAW,
to provide said video materials." This is a most troubling statement. IU
#8 has never ordered a digitization and/or streaming license for any VHS
it acquired from CTC. If IU #8 has digitized and/or streamed any of the
above-mentioned CTC programs, IU #8 would be in violation of the terms
of its licensed agreement with CTC.
This example is one reason why I produced the "Copyright Compliance
with an attorney who is an expert in copyright and contract law. I hope
this example shows to educators and librarians on this Listserv how
important it is to know what licensing you acquire when you order your
programs, even if you order from a re-seller. IM is a re-seller of
programs with certain licensed rights. Digitization and/or streaming
rights of CTC programs are available from CTC; thus if a customer wants
to digitize and/or stream a CTC program the customer may have acquired
from IM, that customer still must obtain those rights from CTC. Perhaps
Mark's post could have suggested to Elana that IM should consider
informing customers, if they want other licensing they should contact
the producer/distributor directly (and since this is being cc'd to her,
she'll read that suggestion.)
I have seen several comments about digitization and licensing concerning
pricing. I encourage those customers who may be troubled by certain
pricing to contact companies such as CTC, as well as Annenberg Media,
Landmark Media, Bullfrog Films, and Pyramid Media, who, like me, have
negotiated very fair pricing and terms with producers regarding these
important licenses.
One last point, vendors are willing to work with customers regarding
licensing and as attorney Lutzker advises in the "Copyright Compliance
Series," it is much less expensive to secure the proper licensing than
to face potential litigation. He explains very clearly that producers
whose licensing has been violated do seek damages and because today's'
technology leaves a "digital trail," it is wise not to take unnecessary
I apologize if this post may seem like a plug for a series that I've
released; however, that really is not the case at all. After being part
of a legal case which ended upsetting a large number of vendors,
educators and librarians, not to mention the students and parents who
lost out while an expensive legal settlement was reached, I volunteered
for over 12 months to work closely with attorney Lutzker in order to
produce this much-needed and comprehensive series, which is now finally
available and should help every educator and librarian better understand
copyright and protect his/her institution from any potential violations.

In the light of the recent discussions on the list, I just wanted to
clarify any confusion that may exist on Insight Media's policy on
granting rights to stream and digitize products purchased from us.
Our policy as drafted by our legal counsel:
Insight Media cannot and does not grant anyone rights to digitize or to
digitally distribute any work under the TEACH Act. A school's right, if
any, to digitize and/or distribute a work arises under the law. It's up
to the school to determine in each case whether the school has any
rights under the TEACH Act with regard to a particular work. That
requires the school to review among other things whether it is an
institution covered by the law, it has the proper procedures in place to
comply with the law, and whether the work is eligible under the law,
taking into account how and with what rights it was obtained. Insight
Media does not give advice on whether a school has rights under the
TEACH Act, which is a decision the school should make in consultation
with legal counsel.

Has anyone put together a growing list of film distributors who provide
on-demand streaming, or the digital right to encode films owned by the
media center and/or library? I know you can get this information when
you register for the National Media Market, but the specifics aren't
included i.e., license agreement loans for 1, 3, 5 years, etc. I'm not
interested in Broadcast rights via closed circuit.
I'm trying to create an internal list that will include the name of the
company, and the types of digital access available, especially for
asynchronous streaming.

Ummmmmm.... I've read and re-read the aforementioned post, trying to
understand the implication....
Forgive me if I am less-than-enlightened in this regard, but does
Insight Media intend to trump US Law? How does one exempt themselves
from the LAW? "Our policy as drafted by our legal counsel:"
??????????...that's very interesting... You could possibly, under a
PURCHASE CONTRACT, limit your licensing, but I don't see how you can
exempt yourself from the TEACH Act. After having read the TEACH Act
several times, I do not recall anywhere, where it said "....unless the
company doesn't want ya to..."
Are you making the materials available in a digital format? If so, then
that's a totally different position.
If you are making a digital version, capable of a "digital transmission,
then said educational institution must purchase that format from
you...if not, the TEACH Act exemption provides for it...CONTRARY to "Our
policy as drafted by our legal counsel:"...once again, that's the whole
point of the TEACH Act...they want you to step up to digital
format...not steal your product.
IF said institution meets all said requirements of the TEACH Act, they
are allowed BY LAW, to provide said video materials. THAT'S THE POINT OF
THE TEACH ACT... If you put something "out there", it's eligible for
educational exemption. Besides, why would you NOT WISH to have a school
use your material??? I don't even understand the mindset...you produce
an educational product, but attempt to limit it's educational use!!!??
The TEACH Act provides protections for your rights.
What do YOU see as the difference between the rights for a VHS tape, vs
the rights for a digitized work? If the very same piece of information
can be viewed in perpetuity on a VHS tape, then why not, in some digital
format? What are you seeing, that I am not??? It is merely a shift in
the playback format of the very same materials! My video tape can sit on
my shelf for years, and the same material on that tape is somehow
viewable for years and years, but NOT the very same material in a
digital format??? Is that your claim??

Hello all.
I'm currently trying to minimize Compile time and resources by reusing Shaders. My target is not GLSL 4+ with Subroutines, but, I do want to emulate multiple effects per Shader Program.
The Setup is:
- Shader Program
- Shader1
- Shader2
Assume Shader1 has function, "myfunc", and Shader2 wants to use it. Without adding the source code together and compiling it into one Shader Program, how do you 'import' per-se, the function in Shader2? I've seen on the good ol' interwebs that it could be:
Code :void myfunc() { // Do something }
Code :void myfunc(); void main() { myfunc(); }
Then attaching the objects/linking the program. This, however, comes up as an error as:
Any thoughts as to why this is happening?error C3002: call to undefined function "void myfunc();"

Cannoli Martinis
Showcase this dessert by serving it in martini glasses. Your taste buds will be delighted with this fabulous treat. There's a delicate crunch from the phyllo, a rich creaminess from the ricotta, subtle wine flavor and a burst of chocolate. This creation is sure to have guests looking for seconds.Yield: 6 servings
Prep Time:
Cook Time:
Total Time:
|3 cups
|ricotta cheese
|1 cup
|confectioners' sugar
|4 1/2 teaspoons
|half-and-half cream
|3/4 teaspoon
|vanilla extract
|3 cups
|dry red wine
|12 sheets
|phyllo dough
|1/4 cup
|butter, melted
|1 (3 1/2-ounce) package
|orange-flavored dark chocolate candy bar, grated
In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, confectioners' sugar, cream and vanilla; cover and chill until serving. Place wine in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced to about 1/3 cup. Set aside to cool. Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a baking sheet; brush with butter. Keep remaining phyllo covered with plastic wrap and a damp towel to prevent it from drying out. Repeat layers nine times. Cut stack in half lengthwise, then cut widthwise, forming four rectangles. Repeat with remaining phyllo on another baking sheet. Bake at 375° for 8-12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on pans on wire racks. Crumble baked phyllo sheets into 1/2-in. pieces. To serve, layer 1/2 cup crumbled phyllo, scant 1 tablespoon reduced wine, 2 teaspoons grated chocolate and 2/3 cup ricotta mixture in each of six martini glasses. Sprinkle with remaining chocolate and phyllo. Yield: 6 servings.
To Make Ahead: Ricotta mixture and crumbled phyllo can be prepared a day in advance. Cover and refrigerate ricotta mixture. Store phyllo in an airtight container.

The Syrian Bride (2004)
Directed by Eran RiklisGenres - Drama | Sub-Genres - Family Drama, Political Drama | Release Date - Nov 16, 2005 (USA - Limited) | Run Time - 98 min. | Countries - France, Germany, Israel |

Synopsis by Mark Deming
A family deals with the typical anxieties of a wedding day while also confronting the political turmoil of the Middle East in this drama, a collaboration between Israeli and Palestinian filmmakers. Hammed (Makram J. Khoury) is a leading political figure in Majdal Shams, a Druze community that has been under Israeli occupation since the late '60s. Years ago, Hammed arranged for his daughter Mona (Clara Khoury) to marry Tallel (Derar Sliman), who has since become a successful actor in Syria. Hammed has gathered the family together to see Mona off, but the occasion is a bittersweet one -- given the combative relationship between Israel and Syria, once Mona crosses the border with her husband, it's unlikely she will ever be able to return. Hammed's oldest son, Hattem (Eyad Sheety), comes back from Russia, where he now lives with his wife, but his father still refuses to forgive him for leaving the land of his birth. Marwan (Ashraf Barhoum), a younger son, is a businessman living in Italy who uses his visit home as an opportunity to visit Jeanne (Julie-Anne Roth), an American United Nations representative he's been dating. And daughter Amal (Hiam Abbass) helps her sister Mona deal with the stress and details of her big day as she struggles to live as a modern woman while married to Amin (Adnan Tarabshi), who wants his spouse to follow a more traditional path. Makram J. Khoury was ideally cast as Hammed in at least one respect -- he's the real life father of Clara Khoury, who plays his screen daughter Mona.

The Wind Energy Research Center (WERC) at the University of Wyoming finally has a wind turbine of its own.
Erected in the final months of 2012 by a group of UW professors and students, WERC's research tower stands tall in a field off Highway 230 west of Laramie, a few miles down the road from the Cliff and Martha Hansen livestock Teaching Arena. The small-scale machine, dwarfed by the massive commercial turbines that freckle the high plains of Wyoming, will be used to enhance a pair of research projects aimed at improving UW's future contributions to an industry in its infancy.
But the tower wouldn't be upright without Melinda Kolm, a first-year civil engineering master's student from Berthoud, Colo., who worked with her UW professors on the structural design of the foundation. "There's a lot of steel in that hole," Kolm says as she shows a picture of the foundation site that she snapped with her cell phone. The shallow foundation was reinforced with steel and then solidified with concrete to ensure the tower remains in its upright position.
"We made it pretty robust," she adds.
So it won't topple on itself?
"Don't say that!" says Kolm, breaking into a nervous laugh. "I've had nightmares about that!"
WERC researchers will use the turbine to test bend-twist coupled blades that are being designed and built on the Laramie campus and to study tower deflections during use with hopes of improving performance and lowering operation costs.

A huge 'discussion' took place on the desktop-devel mailing list of the GNOME project about a possible replacement for TomBoy, the Wiki-like note taking application-thing-program-utility written in Mono - it being written in Mono was the prime reason for the whole debate, which started here, and only got considerably nastier later on. "It would seem that lately there are a lot of FUD-spreading trolls crawling out of the woodwork trying to frighten people into thinking that GNOME somehow depends on Mono. Let's take a look at their most widely repeated claims."

One Take Doc Series: LET THE FIRE BURN
Skype Q & A with director Jason Osder after the show!
The One Take: Stories through the Lens Series is made possible by a grant from the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the New York State legislature.
About the Film:
In the astonishingly gripping Let the Fire Burn, director Jason Osder has crafted that rarest of cinematic objects: a found-footage film that unfurls with the tension of a great thriller. On May 13, 1985, a longtime feud between the city of Philadelphia and controversial radical urban group MOVE came to a deadly climax. By order of local authorities, police dropped military-grade explosives onto a MOVE-occupied rowhouse. TV cameras captured the conflagration that quickly escalated—and resulted in the tragic deaths of eleven people (including five children) and the destruction of 61 homes. It was only later discovered that authorities decided to "...let the fire burn." Using only archival news coverage and interviews, first-time filmmaker Osder has brought to life one of the most tumultuous and largely forgotten clashes between government and citizens in modern American history.

BAKER CITY - The Horizon Hawks took fifth at the 1A state basketball tournament after suffering a heartbreaking loss to Triad in the semifinals and then falling to No. 1 seed McKenzie in the third-place game.
In the Hawks' game against Triad, Garrett Powless swished a desperation heave at the final buzzer Friday night to lift the Timber Wolves past Horizon 61-58.
"It was a tough one to take," Horizon coach Darrin Lingel said. "His prayer was answered as it was in the air."
Horizon led by 14 points in the third quarter and appeared to be closing in on the school's first-ever championship berth.
But the combination of outside shooting by Powless and six Hawk fourth-quarter turnovers enabled Triad to earn a spot opposite Siletz Valley in the title game. Siletz Valley won the championship Saturday, 70-56.
Powless scored 19 of his game-high 21 points in the second half. He made five of seven 3-pointers after the break, including one with 1:41 to play to tie the game at 56-56. Horizon freshman Matt Totaro gave Horizon back the lead 15 seconds later, when he drove hard to the basket down the middle of the key. Totaro scored all eight of the Hawk fourth-quarter points on strong drives to the basket.
"We had the mojo going and then some of our players slipped out," Lingel said.
Nathan Nilsson, Triad's muscular 6-foot-3 post, made a layup on a left-handed spin move with a minute remaining to tie the game for the seventh time, 58-58. The Timber Wolves regained possession 15 seconds later on Horizon's 21st turnover. Triad outscored Horizon 23-8 in the fourth quarter and 11 of those points came as a result of Hawk miscues. Conversely, Triad had 11 turnovers in the game, but none in the final nine minutes.
Triad worked 35 seconds off the clock before Coach Jason Young called a timeout with 10 seconds remaining to set up his team's final play. He was hoping for one of his quick guards to penetrate to the basket.
But Horizon's man-to-man defense cut off all the dribbling lanes and Powless received a pass on the left wing with :02 on the clock. Totaro smothered the 6-foot senior, whose only available shot was a falling-away "chuck" which found nothing but net as the buzzer sounded.
It was Triad's first lead since late in the second quarter. Horizon closed out the first half with a Max Totaro 3-pointer and two more treys by Jordan Andersen, giving the Hawks a 35-30 advantage.
Totaro and Sam Anthony were Horizon's main offensive threats early in the game. Totaro, a junior guard, scored 13 of his team-high 15 points in the first half, leading a balanced Horizon attack which saw four Hawks score in double figures. Anthony added nine of his 12 points and eight of his nine rebounds before intermission.
It was an Anthony jumper midway through the third quarter which gave Horizon its biggest lead, 46-32. But then Powless started to heat up, as his back-to-back 3-pointers brought Triad within 46-38. Although Horizon pushed the margin back to 12 points at the end of the quarter, the game's momentum had swung to Triad's favor.
In the third-place game, McKenzie proved it was worthy of its top ranking by defeating Horizon 51-35 Saturday.
The Eagles (28-1) were led by all-tournament selection Jordan Wiley who scored 29 points and grabbed 16 rebounds against the Hawks at Baker City High School.
McKenzie entered the state tournament unbeaten and was the top-seeded team. But a semifinal loss to league rival Siletz Valley dropped the Eagles into the third-place game against Horizon.
McKenzie never trailed after 6-foot-8 post Nick Nastasiuk scored inside for a 3-2 Eagle advantage. The margin was 27-9 at halftime, and although Horizon drew to within 13 points twice in the third quarter, butWiley wouldn't let the Hawks get any closer.
Once the game was out of hand, Lingel began shuttling players in and out of the game to get the state experience.
"A lot of my seniors got playing time," Lingel said. "It was just one of those games."
Horizon was led in scoring by Sam Anthony with 11 and Totaro, who had 10.
The Hawks ended the season with a 25-6 record.
The trip to Baker was the second time the Hawks have been to the state final's tournament. In their previous trip in 2008 they finished sixth.
"With the addition of one or two more players we should be right back in it next year," Lingel said.

Thanksgiving may be heavy on the bird puns, but not everyone will be flying home this season. Many will be hitting the rails.
Interested in ?Add as an interest to stay up to date on the latest news, video, and analysis from ABC News.
The day before Turkey Day is historically Amtrak's busiest travel day of the year, and the railroad is boosting its fleet and 2013 schedule to accommodate what it expects to be another high-traffic holiday week.
"Amtrak carried a record 737,537 passengers during the 2012 Thanksgiving travel period, up 1.9 percent over the previous year and the prior record set in 2011," said Amtrak spokeswoman Kimberly Woods. "To accommodate the expected surge of riders this year, Amtrak will operate every available passenger rail car in its fleet and is scheduling extra trains and adding capacity on routes in the Northeast, Midwest and the West Coast."
Biden, Whoopi Goldberg Ride Amtrak Together
The busiest travel days of the holiday week are the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and the Sunday after, according to company data. If you're looking to squeeze in, morning trains typically have more available seats than those in the afternoon and evening, said Woods. But she advises booking soon.
"In Amtrak's Northeast Corridor alone, we will serve more than 300,000 passengers during the holiday week," said Woods. "This year is also the first Thanksgiving for the new Norfolk, Va., service."
In the Midwest, Amtrak will operate 18 extra trains in Michigan in order to supplement regularly scheduled Wolverine Service, she said. Those extra trains will run between Chicago and Kalamazoo/Ann Arbor, Mich.
On Wednesday, Nov. 27, and Sunday, Dec. 1, Amtrak will also add four trains along the Amtrak Cascades route between Portland and Seattle, the company announced earlier this month.
'Fiscal Cliff' Deal Also Doles Out Millions for Hollywood, Railroads, Rum Producers
"Special Thanksgiving Holiday Timetables are now available online," Woods told ABC News. "These expanded versions of the timetables for the first time offer day-by-day schedules to make it easier for passengers to find trains for a specific day of travel."
Other Amtrak tips for keeping holiday rail travel calm include: wearing comfortable clothes, packing light, remembering to bring a charger for mobile devices, arriving 30 minutes early, tagging your luggage for fast retrieval, downloading a movie for trips after sundown and taking advantage of the free Amtrak app.
"We're pretty hip," said Woods. "Our free apps for iPhone and Android phones means you can plan and book your Thanksgiving travel throughout Amtrak's nationwide system of trains and buses straight from your phone. You can also check the arrival and departure status of trains and display your eTicket from right in the app."

Ser2net is a program for allowing network connections to serial
ports. See the man page for information about using the program.
Note that ser2net supports RFC 2217 (remote control of serial port
parameters), but you must have a compliant client. The only one I
know if is kermit (http://www.columbia.edu/kermit).
If you want the opposite of ser2net (you want to connect to a "local"
serial port device that is really remote) then Cyclades has provided
a tool for this at http://www.coker.com.au/cyclades. It is capable
of connecting to ser2net using RFC2217.

Teachers, employees throughout Lenoir County receive grants up to $500 to help educate our youth
Mini grant-winning teachers in Lenoir County were surprised with award checks in December, and now classroom projects are coming to life.
Kim Hipkiss, CPR teacher at North Lenoir High School, submitted a grant application in hopes of getting her students new infant mannequins for CPR practice.
She called her project, �Baby, come back.�
�I needed more baby mannequins so that I could certify more students,� Hipkiss said.
Fourteen Lenoir County teachers were given mini grants up from $200 to $500 for various education projects � the amounts ranged from the $200 Karen Hall from Banks Elementary School was awarded, to Hipkiss and seven LCS nurses winning the maximum $500. The Lenoir County Education Foundation raised more than $6,500 through an adult spelling bee and the STAGES performing art program.
Hipkiss was one of the $500 award winners.
The certification classes are a part of the health sciences curriculum for students who hope to have a career in health care.
North Lenoir senior Justin Shimer plans to become a dentist and said the new dolls will be helpful for health courses.
�It�s going to help us train better,� he said. �Having new equipment and technology makes it easier to learn. New things happen all the time, so you need to be prepared for all of it.�
Although he has a dental dream, he said it�s always good to be prepared by knowing standard CPR.
�It�s definitely about time for some (new mannequins),� Shimer said.
The class has nine infant dummies, but some of them are missing limbs. They are washed with antibacterial solution after each use, but a need for disposable lungs was included in the grant application.
Hipkiss will order five new mannequins and one-time use lung bags, �any day now,� she said.
There are 40 students in the two health science classes and 16 are trained at a time. Students in the curriculum have to be CPR-certified before they can observe at the county�s clinical agency.
She said the health science program will host lunch modules so the course students can show their classmates across North Lenoir CPR skills.
�We�re trying to get more kids exposed to it in the school,� Hipkiss said.
With so many students around, she said it was tough to actually complete the application in October.
�Teaching is very demanding of your time,� she said. �Finding the time is really the biggest challenge.�
Hipkiss, who�s won the annual mini grant twice before, said she will continue to submit for the award asking for updated equipment.
�The dummies we had weren�t up to standard, and health care ethical codes change yearly and you need to be up-to-date,� said North Lenoir senior Jorie Edwards, who plans to be a physician�s assistant. �I feel like with these upgraded materials that we�d be able to do a just job.�
