Thom Hogan has a new article on his site comparing FX to DX. I think he makes some interesting points. Being a the owner of a full frame camera, I wonder if the time will come when the full size sensor is just not necessary. What are your thoughts. Notice I didn't post this in the medium format forum.
My "full frame" camera (no longer in use but still in my possession) is a Wista 4x5 ...
My "full frame" camera (no longer in use but still in my possession) is a Wista 4x5, though to 8x10 shooters I'm a cropped-frame piker.
The advantages of the cropped smaller format are:(1) Generally lighter and cheaper, especially when using EF-S or DX or 4/3" format lenses designed for the smaller format.(2) Usually higher resolution in terms of lp/mm, as a result of their (usually) higher pixel density.The consequences of this second advantage of higher resolution is perhaps the main attraction of the cropped format. It allows one to effectively extend the reach of one's longest lens, which is like adding value to a telephoto lens designed for the full-frame format.For example, the $1,400 Canon 400/F5.6 prime lens on a recent Canon cropped format, say the 18mp 7D, will probably deliver a sharper (or at least equally sharp) image as a $7,000 400/F4 prime on the full-frame 5D3 ...
So true, history shows that film sizes and then sensor sizes have come down as the film/sensor resolution got better. It has been a question of both price and convenience, but fortunately modern cameras with relatively small sensors outresolve all reasonably sized film cameras, so there has been no compromise in that regard.I have both a full "full frame" system (Nikon D4 & D800e) and APS-C system (Fuji X-Pro1 & X100s). They both are good enough (D800e more than...) for magazine photography, the main difference is the handling and speed, where Nikons of course are the king. If somebody did a similar pro DSRL camera with APS-C sensor and full complement of fast lenses optimized for APS-C, I might consider ditching the D4, mostly to save weight and volume, as the IQ from my Fujis is just as good in most regards. Just that the Nikon gets also the shots missed by the Fujis, which is no fault of the sensor size. On the other hand I can use the Fujis in places where I could not go with big Nikons...
'' Now, with Nikon, I've got two full frame bodies and with the D800 giving me 16MP in cropped frame, don't really see the need to add a cropped frame body. ...''
Now, with Nikon, I've got two full frame bodies and with the D800 giving me 16MP in cropped frame, don't really see the need to add a cropped frame body. The frame rate is slower than the D700 but fast enough.I used the full frame, primarily, for scenics, landscapes and architecture while the cropped frame was used primarily for sports. The cropped frame gave me nearly the same sensor count as the full frame whereas cropping the full frame would have eaten into the pixel count too much.
+1and I find the viewfinder of a fullframe camera much! better...Makes it easier (possible) to focus manually
But when you are composing for that 1.5x "DX mode" crop to 16MP, the image of the relevant part in the OVF is distinctly smaller in the D800 VF (0.7x @ 50mm) than it is in any decent APS-C format VF (e.g. 0.94x @ 50mm for the D7100) ...
But when you are composing for that 1.5x "DX mode" crop to 16MP, the image of the relevant part in the OVF is distinctly smaller in the D800 VF (0.7x @ 50mm) than it is in any decent APS-C format VF (e.g. 0.94x @ 50mm for the D7100) ... along with the D7100 giving 24MP rather than 16MP on the same part of the scene with the same focal length. So if one is doing a substantial amount of photography with crops to DX mode or smaller in mind, an actual DX format body has some advantages.And if one wishes to crop even further, the 24 vs 16 comparison can become 12MP vs 8MP or whatever.(Aside: of course an EVF with "digital teleconverter" option would eliminate the VF image size disadvantage of DX crop mode.)
I don't find the cropped view in the finder to be an issue.
And that disadvantage, BJL, is offset by the advantage of having something similar to the effect of a rangefinder camera whereby one can see what's immediately outside of the intended frame of the composition
Aside from that, the difference between 24 and 16MP really isn't that much. When you consider that you have to quadruple the pixel count to double the resolution, a difference of 8MP isn't that much at all.
This is fascinating: ever since "APS-C" DSLRs arrived, one of the persistent criticisms from those who prefer 35mm format has been the small "tunnel vision" VF image, and MF users make the same criticism of 35mm SLR viewfinders for the inferior size of their VF images --- and yet, when I mention this with respect to the "1.5x digital teleconverter" mode of the D800, the two replies I get suggest that a "0.5x equivalent" VF image is not much of a problem! It brings to mind some "family values" voters who are suddenly happy to vote for an adulterer/philanderer/serial bigamist when he represents their preferred party.Ray, I agree that the "sports-finder" effect is sometimes quite nice. I often use the variant of loose framing, zooming a bit wider than my intended composition, to allow cropping latitude for problems like not getting the moving subject correctly positioned within the frame, and for some warning of objects about to enter the FOV. However, surely different photographers will put different relative weights on the image size disadvantage vs the "peripheral vision" advantage, so I do not see how you can categorically declare that one "offsets" the other as if the VF image size deficit is rendered irrelevant.

I had two experiences yesterday at the Broadway Lighting Master Classes that were really great as an exhibitor. There is a high school student here from Redbank, NJ, and he has unbelievable enthusiasm. He actually rents his own gear for the HS productions from 4Wall. He started asking me about our scrollers and about Morpheus' scrollers and if we can make similar products. It was then I noticed Ken Billington standing across the room and knew that Ken knew more about Morpheus, so I suggested to the student we go talk to Ken and ask him. Well, I thought he would fall over. We had a great talk with Ken, and that sort of thing would just never happen outside of here. And from a commercial standpoint, we now feel like we have an ally in this student and future great designer.
The second meeting was with a woman from Cal Arts who works with Don Holder and has some of our gear. She mentioned she was having some issues with the CXIs. I told her to send all the stuff back so we can take a look, and we'll send her back everything with an Infogate system, so we can perform diagnostics more easily. She was thrilled. I didn't even know she was going to be here, and that sort of meeting just would not have happened over the phone...only here.

LAKELAND | Kelly Bare has nothing against churches; it's the portable classrooms with which he has an issue. More specifically, it's the four portables in front of First United Methodist Church on Lake Morton Drive.
"They look really trashy to me," said Bare, who lives on Vistabula Drive, adjacent to the church. "It ruins the neighborhood."
The white portable classrooms were constructed in March as part of the church's plan to expand, which was approved by Lakeland city commissioners in 2010.
The plan is broken down into three phases. In the first phase, the church is tearing down the classroom space and rebuilding it. The space is used by the church's preschool during the day and its children's ministries in the evening.
The second and third phases involve building a multipurpose building and tearing down and rebuilding the church's gymnasium.
As part of the East Lake Morton Historic District, the church will face critics on any changes or renovations made, says First United Methodist Senior Pastor David McEntire.
"There will always be someone who has a different opinion," McEntire said. "This church is a vital part of this community."
As First United Methodist has neared construction, McEntire and other church members have visited neighborhood associations near the property to explain the timeline of the project and the purpose. He says much of the negative reaction from the public is from people who aren't attending these meetings.
"Not everyone wants to communicate in a community forum," said McEntire. "You can tell people but they don't always listen."
One of the concerns with the construction is the sheer size of the project. The church's net gain is more than 54,000 square feet with much of that space accommodated in the second and third stories of the children's ministries building. That is a drastic change to a neighborhood that's more used to bungalows.
"What people love about this neighborhood is that it appeals to the human scale," said Tom Wodrich, an East Lake Morton resident. "It's cozy."
Right now though, the neighborhood is forced to deal with portables on Lake Morton Drive.
Had the church not used them, and instead chosen to work the construction around sections of the building, the process would have taken twice as long, McEntire said.
His estimate for completion is 13 months, and without the portables, it would have been closer to 28 months.
The reason they were placed on the waterfront side of the church, as opposed to the parking lots behind, has to do with keeping the preschool children all in one place during the day, he said. Had the portables been placed in the back, the children and staff would have been split between areas on the property because they are still using a building in the front during the next year.
"We chose children's safety over the way it looks," said McEntire.
Bare, who's been living in the neighborhood for six months, is frustrated by what he sees as a big church getting bigger.
"This is one of the things that makes Lakeland; it's the historical districts," he said. "To have a church that already takes up about four city blocks, to keep chipping away at that is just a horrible thing."
Having already been granted permission by the Lakeland Planning and Zoning Board and the Lakeland city commissioners, First United Methodist plans to break ground on the first phase of the project in May.
McEntire encouraged any member of the community with questions or concerns to contact the church.
"We believe what we're doing is for the community," said McEntire. "If my neighbor adds an addition to their house, it's going to be unsightly. But it's going to eventually be more beautiful."

Howard is the Best.....
Fund: Draper Richards
Posted by Ajax on 2007-07-20
Ok, I have known Howard for 4 years, and in all that time Howard has always been supportive, honest, insightful and a great guy to get along with. He doesn't have time to coddle you, but he returns calls promptly, gives you well thought out and reasoned advice, and is just about the only guy in the valley I really trust to look out for me as an entrepreneur.
Last year I took a company I am on the board of out to meet Howard. he gave them straight forward advice that meant they had to change a LOT. A year later they did it all and Howard got them 5 meetings in a week. Howard got nothing out of this, but did it because he is a good guy who likes to see entrepreneurs succeed.

Joseph Capozzolli is one of a new species of Chesapeake waterman
A few hardy souls on the Chesapeake still fish to live.
Commercial fishing, one of our oldest and most demanding occupations, is fast disappearing in even the farthest reaches of this vast estuary. The causes are, on the one hand, the collective pressures of our times, so high they easily overwhelm a species, be it fish or humans who labor to catch them. On the other hand, it's our slow recognition that many of our hard-pressed living natural resources are too precious to convert to food.
As our resource awareness evolves, another type of fisherman is coming to the fore: dedicated master Tidewater anglers who live to fish.
These fishers are committed to becoming ever more expert in their knowledge of the many species they pursue and in the use of the tackle they choose for that pursuit. They share their knowledge and skills and release most of the fish they catch. Often, their professions mirror their passion.
Chumming for rockfish in the mid-Bay is the most reliable action these days, with many good-sized fish mixed in with smaller schoolies. Use circle hooks to avoid killing the little guys. Menhaden, alewife and bunker (all the same fish) is the best bait, fresh if you can get it, frozen if you can't. Podickery, Hackett's, Tolley and Thomas points are good bets on the Western Shore, while Love Point, the Dumping Grounds, the Sewer Pipe then on down to Bloody Point and the Hill and the Diamonds are places to try on the Eastern Shore.
Joseph Capozzolli, 57, of Graysonville on Maryland's Eastern Shore, is just such an angler. Joe Cap is an ardent fly- and light-tackle fisherman, fly-tying innovator, casting instructor, rod builder, author and font of knowledge on fishing the Tidewater and its many species.
Angling on the headwaters of the Hackensack River in his birth state of New Jersey with the guidance of a knowledgeable neighbor, Joe grew up fly-fishing for trout, bream and small and large-mouth bass. Moving to Maryland in 1979 to study nursing at Johns Hopkins University, he discovered the Chesapeake.
As he followed his profession and enjoyed the challenges of the Bay and Maryland's many ponds and streams, Joe fell under the influence of two Maryland originals, early pioneers of light-tackle and fly fishing in both saltwater and freshwater, Lefty Kreh and Bob Clouser. Hearing them speak of their angling experiences, conversing with them and reading their books and articles, he began to chart his life on the examples they provided.
Joe soon became an ardent salt-water fly fisherman, adept in every stage of the art. "To build your own rod, create the fly, present the fly to the fish and fight and land it with this simple tackle is incredibly satisfying," he says.
His love of fly fishing doesn't keep him from pursuing other angling techniques, particularly plug casting and light-tackle jigging, which he rates up there almost with the long-rod for satisfying Chesapeake game-fishing. Light-tackle jigging, especially for rockfish, may be the most productive fishing technique of all, he allows.
Last year, Joe left his supervisory nursing career to join close friend Bill O'Brien at Bill's shop, Shore Tackle and Custom Rods in Graysonville. Now Joe is totally invested in the angling world. He spends his days building rods, rigging tackle, instructing in fly casting and sharing his expertise with other anglers.
When Joe Cap is not at the shop, he's on the water in his 17-foot Triumph center-console skiff, mostly fishing the Eastern Bay. There are better places to fish more southerly in the Chesapeake, he admits, but his home waters are closest and give him the most of what he loves best: time on the water, fishing.
Maryland Department of Natural Resources is investigating a commercial waterman on the Eastern Shore who was trying to tag 2,000 pounds of striped bass, caught (illegally) in a pound net, as (legally) harvested by hook and line. Stripers caught in pound nets are supposed to be released.
This is an ongoing and serious poaching problem. We will undoubtedly hear more about these instances in the future as the spotlight continues to fall on commercial fishing abuses that have been traditionally rampant throughout the Chesapeake.
And in Dorchester County on November 6 at 2am, Natural Resources Pollice charged Rene O. Pacheco, 29, and Edy N. Arias, 30, both of Riverdale; Luis A. Rivera, 32, of Brentwood; and Jose A. Hernandez, 41, of Manassas, Va., with possession of over-limit striped bass, possession of undersize striped bass and possession of striped bass between midnight and 5am. The fishermen had 64 stripers on board, and 55 of the fish were smaller than the legal limit of 18 inches.

Understanding the mechanisms of sea ice loss and the consequences for climate and the polar ecosystem are key research questions today. Data collected by the WHOI Ice-Tethered Profilers (a program supported by a prior Arctic Initiative grant) are currently providing unique, important clues to the physical and biological processes now active in the upper ocean. However, thin ice and open water present a challenge to the present ITP design. Addition of some new measurement capability is also desirable. Here, support is requested to engineer and prototype several modifications to the basic ITP system to insure it remains a viable research instrument for the future. We also request supplemental support to facilitate deployment of up to 5 existing ITP systems from a Russian icebreaker this summer. We are confident that given the requested support, we will continue to be successful securing funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation as well as overseas ITP users to build and deploy instruments and thus remain a central pillar of the nascent Arctic Observing Network.

Next: Configuring servers, Previous: Introduction to servers, Up: Server [Contents][Index]
Serveez is meant to be a server framework. That is why it supports various ways to implement Internet servers. First of all there are some servers already included in the main serveez package (see Existing servers). These are called 'Builtin servers'. Another possibility to add a new server are 'Embedded servers' which are shared libraries (or DLL's) containing the server implementation. These can be dynamically loaded by Serveez at runtime. This kind of server is also called 'Server modules'. A third possibility are the 'Guile servers' which allow even unexperienced schemers to write an Internet server.
This section describes each of the above possibilities in detail.

Welcome to the Virus Encyclopedia of Panda Security.
Windows XP/2000/NT/ME/98/95
Dadobra.LH is a Trojan, which although seemingly inoffensive, can actually carry out attacks and intrusions.
It reduces the security level of the computer:
it notifies the attacker that the computer has been compromised and is ready to be used maliciously.
Dadobra.LH accesses several websites to download files, which it then runs. These can be any type of file, although they are normally malware.
Dadobra.LH does not spread automatically using its own means. It needs an attacking user's intervention in order to reach the affected computer. The means of transmission used include, among others, floppy disks, CD-ROMs, email messages with attached files, Internet downloads, FTP, IRC channels, peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing networks, etc.
Dadobra.LH is easy to recognize, as it shows the following symptoms:

EEO Data Posted Pursuant to the No Fear Act
Reasonable Accommodation Procedures
Section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, prohibits employment discrimination against individuals with disabilities in the federal sector and requires federal agencies to provide reasonable accommodation to qualified employees or employment applicants with disabilities, unless to do so would cause undue hardship. The Rehabilitation Act Amendments of 1992 incorporates the employment standards of Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) into the Rehabilitation Act. The ADA defines disability related terms in detail and serves as an accepted resource for accommodation policy compliance.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) fully complies with the reasonable accommodation requirements of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. SSA provides reasonable accommodations when an employment applicant with a disability needs an accommodation to be considered for a job; when an employee with a disability needs an accommodation to enable him or her to perform the essential functions of the job or to gain access to the workplace; and when an employee with a disability needs an accommodation to enjoy equal benefits and privileges of employment.
SSA will process requests for reasonable accommodation and, where appropriate, provide reasonable accommodations in a prompt, fair, and efficient manner. SSA is dedicated to improving the employment, retention, and advancement of qualified persons with disabilities by providing the information and resources necessary to support them and to accomplish the agency's mission.
On July 26, 2000, former President Clinton signed Executive Order 13164, which requires each federal agency to establish effective written procedures for processing requests for reasonable accommodation. The purpose of such procedures is to provide employees as well as supervisors and managers with an easy-to-understand, step-by-step explanation of the reasonable accommodation process. These procedures outline the steps for requesting or responding to requests for reasonable accommodation at the Social Security Administration.
For futher information regarding Social Security's Reasonable Accommodation Procedures e-mails can be directed to firstname.lastname@example.com

Eagle girls move to 16-4 on the season
Sandhills Conference tournament begins Tuesday.
The end of the volleyball season is fast approaching for the Brady Eagles.
The girls have only four games remaining plus the Sandhills Conference tournament before the D1-11 sub-district rolls around.
Now is the time, said coach Lynne Johnson, that the team needs to be firing on all cylinders every play, every game.
At 16-4 on the year, the Eagles have seen their share of stiff competition, Johnson said. She has also watched them play down to less talented teams.
"The huge challenge right now is to play well against every team, regardless of the talent on the other side of the net," Johnson said.
In a triangular at Curtis on Oct. 6, Johnson said her girls played more to the competition than sticking with their own game.
The Eagles defeated Maywood 25-18, 25-13 and beat Medicine Valley 25-20, 25-22.
The wins are good, Johnson said, but weren't the kind of domination she would have liked to have seen.
"You've got to just go play," Johnson said, "no matter who the opponent is."
Brady did just that against Arthur County on Monday.
The Eagles downed the Wolves 25-9, 27-25, 25-12.
"The score in the second set is a little deceiving," Johnson said. "I got absolutely everyone on my bench in the game."
That gave Arthur County's top players a chance, she said, but the Eagles wouldn't give up a set.
Brady hosts Sumner-Eddyville-Miller (4-14) in a parent's night game on Friday before traveling to Thedford on Tuesday for the start of the Sandhills Conference tournament.
The Eagles, No. 2 seed behind state-ranked Mullen, will face Arthur County in the first round at approximately 4 p.m.
The winner will play the winner of Cody-Kilgore (6-8) and Sandhills/Thedford (4-13) at about 7 p.m.
Mullen, which received a bye in the first round, will play the winner of Hyannis (6-11) and Stapleton/McPherson County (11-9).
The third-place game is set for 4 p.m. on Oct. 24 with the championship to follow.

It's Veteran's Day, and I'm at home. Our flag is flying, and I'm thinking of my father-- who fought in WWII and did a peace keeping tour in Korea. God bless our veterans, and I'm thankful to be an American.
My mother became an American citizen in 1952, having met and married an American soldier who was visiting Salzburg, Austria. They married in Salzburg and the rest is history-- my two brothers, and me...the only girl.
As a kid, I remember my mother making this fantastic cream cheese spread that I felt was such a special treat for special occasions. It's so darn simple, and so darn good. Whenever I host a family get-together, it's one of the first things that my niece and son scans the buffet table for. I have no idea how my mother spelled this cream cheese spread, but she called it "SHARE-VEE". I don't even know where Mutti got the recipe, but it's gold, I tell you. For the sake of a recipe name, I will call it Cherve'. I served this at my Oktoberfest party, and it was a hit...as always.
All you need is cream cheese, butter, paprika and onion. I've given this appetizer spread a little extra touches, so here's how I make it:
There is never any of this leftover. My niece usually polishes it off, with relish. She's worth it. I hope that you give this a try. It's from my mom's special heirloom recipe file.
From Bavaria, with love

This weekend I have been adding receiver hitch type mounts under my welding table. One on each corner for a total of four. I made a platform for the chop saw out of 2x2x1/4" tubing and 1/4" plate. It is recessed down 3 1/4" below the tabletop so the saw deck is level with the table. This way long material is supported by the table while cutting. The other is a chain type pipe vice that was in my shop building when I moved here in 1995. I have not used it till now, as I had no good place to mount it. When I get some more 2x2 tubing I will make mounts for the bench grinder and drill press. I also plan on getting a good bench vice, too.
I made the receivers from 2.5x2.5x1/4" angle iron welded together. This made the ID 2x2 1/4", but I can add a 1/4" shim if a tight fit is needed.

BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS -- I'm writing concerning an abuse of power concerning the Southbridge Housing Authority. I call it an abuse of power because I really don't know what else to call it. My sister is in line for the next Section 8 voucher and she was told by the person in the office that if in a week she didn't find an apartment, she would be bypassed and go back to the end of the line. After waiting for so many years for this, she is very stressed and depressed and she has bipolar and she will be sick any day.
She called me crying because Monday she will lose her right to a Section 8 voucher. I don't know how they expect her to find an apartment in a couple of days, and if in this office she is the only one that this has been done to, so where is the justice for poor and disabled people en mass? And we don't know where to go to stop someone from doing this.
MASSACHUSETTS -- This concerns the drawing of the lottery numbers in our State. The Mass. State Lottery has decided it no longer has to spin the balls that come up with the winning numbers. We, the public deserve this courtesy. We spend our hard-earned cash in hopes of winning a couple of dollars. Another thing is the scratch tickets they need looking into Cahill has made a scam out of our lottery. There should be a law against this practice.
WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS -- As a consumer from your state, I felt it was my responsibility to bring to your attention the following incident. I live in Worcester. A few years back when we bought our home, a neighbor approached us and asked if he could take our fence down so he could get a back hoe in to grate his land. He would put up a new fence in turn.
He held up his end of the deal and had Miller Fence Co install a fence. They came in the dead of winter to put it up, they had to return to reset the fence as it was leaning. They still didn't set it correctly. The neighbor withheld $300 and told them to set it right, they refused. Last Friday May 26th, 2006 the company came out. I thought to fix the fence, when I looked again, the workers were gone and so were 3 sections of fence. Since then, I have not been able to have my 17-month old little boy play in the yard as it is a safety issue.
I contacted the police, who told me it was not criminal, even though I pointed out they trespassed onto my property, stomped in my tomato plants and stole my fence. This matter needs to be handled as quickly as possible as my son has every right to be able to play in our yard, in a safe environment. As a resolution, I would like the following: I would like the company to come out and put the fence back where it was, and do it correctly. Please contact me if you need more details regarding this incident.
As a honest consumer from your state, I felt it was my responsibility to bring to your attention the following incident. I recenly bought a computer from Polywell, and have had numerous problems. I have tried multiple times to have these issues addressed, to no avail. I was hoping that you or someone on your staff can investigate/shame this company.
My story is as follows: when I was designing my system I specified that I wanted an extra quiet system, since my study is sandwiched between two bedrooms. Problems: System TOO loud compared with any other similar computer on the market. They finally shipped a replacement quiet power fan, but the system is still too noisy. The firewire connections do not work - I have tried to use multiple devices. The system shipped without a digital video card (as per specs). After a lot of calls, they shipped me the correct part, but charged my AMEX card for the original part, which was hauled away by the service tech - as per their instructions.
The CD-RW and the DVD-ROM are on the same IDE bus - burning is slow and error prone. I have on-site warranty service. The service company however will only call back after numerous calls, and it takes weeks to schedule any on-site service (I live on Cape Cod, MA). I am rather angry and frustrated at this point, and want my money back - since the company has seen fit not to/or cannot resolve these issues. If that is not an option, I want a system that works as advertised. Please feel free to contact me if you would like more details regarding this incident.
BROOKLINE, MASSACHUSETTS -- As a consumer from your state, I felt it was my responsibility to bring to your attention the following incident. I purchased an On-Hold Plus OHP-7500 MP3 Digital On-Hold Audio System for Analog/KSU-Less with Integrated CD Autoload Drive for $362.99 and it was shipped 8/20 but I received the item 8/24. They said it was not with the 14 days from the time it was shipped.
I first think 14 days is too short. Second, the date I received it should be the day the return policy starts. I am out 362.99. :O( As a resolution, I would like the following: I would like for the company to allow me to return a new item I bought for them. Please contact me if you need more details regarding this incident.

text: With her provocative large-scale installations, Monica Bonvicini explores the links between sexuality and architecture, both challenging the male-dominated field and exposing the gendered quality of constructed spaces. Juxtaposing materials such as steel and glass with leather and rubber, Bonvicini's works are at once thoughtful and cheeky—as seen in Leather Tools (2009), featuring mallets, axes, and other implements tightly encased in leather like fetishized objects. Bonvicini's site-specific installations invite physical interaction by viewers, from Stairway to Hell (2003), a working staircase enveloped in hanging chains and shattered glass, to Don't Miss a Sec (2004), the sleek chrome lavatory placed inside a cubicle made of two-way mirrors, enabling the user to see outside while remaining invisible in a busy area of London.

Here's a bright idea; apply to an ivy league school, read online how you can hack their web based software to find out early if you've been accepted, attempt to find out your fate only to learn they haven't made a decision about you yet, but because you exploited the vulnerability, you now are automatically rejected.

Hacker helps business school applicants get early decision
By Michael Kunzelman, The Associated Press Mar 3 2005 2:07PM
A computer hacker gained access to internal admissions records at Harvard, Stanford and other top business schools, then helped applicants log on and learn their fate weeks ahead of schedule, officials said Thursday.
Few of the people who followed the hacker's directions managed to find out if their applications have been accepted, according to school officials. But many of them could end up getting rejected now that the schools are checking to see who tried to exploit the security breach.
"Hacking into a system in this manner is unethical and also contrary to the behavior we expect of leaders we aspire to develop," said Steve Nelson, executive director of the MBA program at Harvard Business School.

- FLSA Section 14(c) Advisor
Competitive Employment
Work centers or community rehabilitation programs (CRPs) will often place a worker with a disability in a competitive employment situation. This means the worker reports to a business or establishment other than the work center and performs work for that business or establishment.
The work center may provide a job coach to supervise the worker, still keep the worker on the work center payroll, and continue to provide traditional rehabilitation services to the worker. The worker with a disability may often continue to receive a special minimum wage as a result of the certificate held by the work center. In such situations, the FLSA considers both the work center and the competitive business to be employers of the worker with a disability. That worker is jointly employed by the rehabilitation facility and by the business where he or she is placed, and both employers are responsible for compliance with the FLSA and ensuring the worker receives the proper compensation.
Coverage for the worker with a disability may be based on either an enterprise or individual basis and may stem from the work center or the competitive employer. If the worker performs any FLSA-covered work for either the work center or the competitive employer, all work performed by that worker during that workweek is covered.
I would like to:
- Return to previous page to continue learning about coverage under FLSA Section 14(c)
- Determine coverage under another Federal labor standards statute
- Return to the FLSA Section 14(c) Advisor Main Menu

Los Alamos National Laboratory
Delivering science and technology to protect our nation and promote world stability
Safety, Security
The Lab's mission is to develop and apply science and technology to ensure the safety, security, and reliability of the U.S. nuclear deterrent; reduce global threats; and solve other emerging national security and energy challenges.
- Operator
- Los Alamos National Laboratory
- (505) 667-5061
We do not compromise safety for personal, programmatic, or operational reasons.
Safety: we integrate safety, security, and environmental concerns into every step of our work
Our commitments
- We conduct our work safely and responsibly to achieve our mission.
- We ensure a safe and healthful environment for workers, contractors, visitors, and other on-site personnel.
- We protect the health, safety, and welfare of the general public.
- We do not compromise safety for personal, programmatic, or operational reasons.
We integrate safety, security, and environmental concerns into every step of our work using a process called Integrated Safety Management (ISM).
Five core functions of ISM, our safety process
- Define the scope of work. What are you going to do? Work planning should consider what might go wrong.
- Identify and analyze hazards associated with the work. What are the hazards to people, environment, and equipment? Anticipate human errors and put defenses in place.
- Develop and implement hazard controls. How can hazards be eliminated or mitigated?
- Perform work within controls. Follow the plan that incorporates the controls and be aware of any new hazards.
- Provide feedback and continuous improvement. Make sure people who need to know are aware of successes and issues.
Merit-level recognition in 2017 as part of DOE's Voluntary Protection Program
The Laboratory received Merit-level recognition in 2017 from DOE as part of its Voluntary Protection Program. Merit is a status for DOE contractors with highly effective safety programs who commit themselves to attain Star status within a five-year period. (Star recognition is the highest achievement level and recognizes outstanding safety and health programs.)
Security: physical security of our employees and facilities and security of our information and computer systems is paramount
- Employees may be subject to random drug tests, vehicle inspections, and searches of individual belongings. Certain Lab areas have multiple layers of access control.
- Our highly-trained protective force, managed by Centerra-LA, is equipped with military-grade vehicles and weapons.
- Our nuclear and hazardous materials are protected and accounted for.

Vice President Joe Biden was officially sworn into office for a second term Sunday morning at his official residence, the U.S. Naval Observatory, in front of about 120 family members and friends.
Biden's wife, Jill, children and grandchildren gathered on a blue stage for the minutes-long ceremony where he recited the oath at 8:21 a.m. Two pieces of artwork adorned the walls of the alcove: Lincoln Delivering His Second Inaugural Address and So Proudly We Hailed. An American flag is behind the stage.
Guests were seated in three rooms in front of the stage and on either side. Some notables who were expected: former Sens. Ted Kaufman, Chris Dodd and Chuck Hagel, DNC member Donna Brazile, Obama advisor David Axelrod, former White House Chief of Staff Bill Daley, Attorney General Eric Holder, Reps. Jim Clyburn and Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, Sens. Bob Casey and Tim Kaine, New Hampshire Gov. Maggie Hassan, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor adminstered the oath. She's the first Hispanic to do so. Three women have previously sworn-in presidents and vice presidents: Judge Sarah T. Hughes swore-in President Lyndon Johnson in 1963; Justice Sandra Day O'Connor swore-in Vice President Dan Quayle in 1989; and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg swore-in Vice President Al Gore in 1997.
"I want to explain to you what a wonderful honor it was, and how much out of her way the justice had to go. She is due in New York. She has to leave right now," Biden told the crowd. "So I apologize: We're gonna walk out. Her car's waiting so she can catch a train I hope I haven't caused her to miss."
Biden used the five-inch thiick Biden Family Bible that has been in the the family since 1893. He used for every swearing in as senator and vice president, and his son, Beau, did the same when he was sworn in as Delaware's attorney general.

Pitch Competition Makes a Hit
Hamilton students and alumni took the opportunity to put their business ideas and proposals to the test through the annual Hamilton College Pitch Competition held during Volunteer Weekend, April 5-7.
Theodore Clements '14 took home the top prize this year with "StorageLink,"a person-to-person storage space. Clements received $2500 in cash, coaching services from Michael Fawcett and Hedy Foreman, and $5000 in legal services from Prithvi Tanwar (Foley Hoag LLP). Second place went to the team of Michael Nelson '16, Farzad Khosravi '16, Matias Wolansky '16 and Noah Lowenthal '16 who created Campus Scene, a new social networking app that provides aggregation of the campus social network and can be personalized. They'll receive a year of coaching services from Mark Kasdorf '06 (Intrepid, Timbre), and legal coaching services from Prithvi Tanwar.
Samantha Sherman '15 won third place for her automated divot repair equipment and received an iPad; and Trang Nguyen '14 and Ujjwal Pradhan '15 pitched a food delivery service for students on campus and won 4th place and an iPad mini.
Branded this year as "PitchComp 3.0", the annual pitch competition originated as the brainchild of Kasdorf. In just three years, PitchComp has rapidly grown to become one of Hamilton's most well-attended workshops. This year, PitchComp attracted 21 teams vying for $10,000 worth of prizes that were awarded by a panel of judges to the strongest ideas and the best presenters.
Pitchcomp is a valuable asset to the Hamilton community as it goes beyond just handing out prizes for good business ideas. Instead, it engages participants with a more holistic approach to getting entrepreneurial ideas off the ground. For example, the panel of judges not only made themselves available during the final round of presentations to award prizes, they also devoted a great deal of time over the weekend to running mentoring sessions for those competing.
Throughout the day on Friday, the atrium of Kirner-Johnson came alive with small-group discussions as competitors and judges sat down to bounce ideas off one another and trade advice. The value in these mentoring sessions is that it not only strengthens participants' presentations for the pitch competition at Hamilton, it also instills skills and strategies that will serve participants well in the future.
The judges for this year's competition included Kasdorf, CEO of Burning Hollow and Intrepid; Michael Fawcett '66 and Hedy Foreman of Meacham Woodfield; David Bisceglia of The Tap Lab, Prithvi Tanwar of Foley Hoag, and Aude-Olivia Dufour, CEO of Invup.
After a weekend of honing presentations, four finalist teams were selected to make a final pitch on Sunday for the main prizes. The judges based their decisions upon concept, financial plans, management and presentation style. Ultimately, the judges awarded a prize to each of the four finalist teams.
Due to its continued growth and success, one can expect the Pitch Competition will be back again next year. Hamilton students and graduates of the last decade are encouraged to stay tuned for details and start thinking about their future entrepreneurial plans.

The Eagles' 2010 season ended on a Michael Vick pass intended for rookie wide receiver Riley Cooper about 32 yards from the line of scrimmage.
Packers cornerback Tramon Williams leaped, picked it off and Green Bay was on its way to winning the Super Bowl.
While Vick's final deep ball was one he probably wishes he had back, overall, he was one of the league's better QBs at finding receivers downfield.
Pro Football Focus took a look at every quarterback in the league and evaluated how effectively they threw the deep ball - defined as passes that went 20 yards or more. Vick completed 41.5 percent of those throws, which was sixth-best in the NFL last season. The top five might surprise you: Vince Young, David Garrard, Matt Schaub, Philip Rivers and Drew Brees.
Vick took shots downfield more often than every quarterback except for Young. Sixty-five of his 408 attempts (15.93 percent) went 20 yards or more downfield.
Overall, he was intercepted five times on deep balls for an INT rate of 7.69 percent, which was middle of the pack. Eleven quarterbacks were intercepted more often than Vick on the deep throws.
By all accounts, with the help of DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin, Vick was one of the better big-play quarterbacks in the league last season. His 8.11 yards per attempt ranked fourth, and Vick completed 48 passes that gained 20+ yards, which ranked eighth. That second number is even more impressive, considering he was only one of two quarterbacks in the top 10 (Ben Roethlisberger) that attempted fewer than 400 passes.
I went back and looked at how Vick's big-play numbers compared to Donovan McNabb's over the years. How much has the passing offense changed with the addition of Jackson and Maclin?
Keep in mind that the following numbers are different from the ones above on Vick, which looked at balls that went 20 yards or more downfield.
The numbers below are plays that gained 20+ yards. In other words, if Jackson caught a screen near the line of scrimmage and took it for a 22-yard gain, that's counted. So look at the numbers below as more of a snapshot of the offense's identity than Vick's deep ball vs. McNabb's deep ball.
The first column in the following chart is pretty simple: yards per attempt. In the second column, instead of looking at total pass plays of 20+ yards, I looked at percentage of total pass attempts that were completions of 20+ yards, comparing Vick in 2010 to McNabb throughout his Eagles career.
|Pct. 20+ plays
|Vick in 2010
|McNabb in '09
|McNabb in '08
|McNabb in '07
| 7.0
| 7.4%
| McNabb in '06
| McNabb in '05
| 7.0
| McNabb in '04
| McNabb in '03
| McNabb in '02
| 6.3
| McNabb in '01
| 8.9%
| McNabb in '00
The first season that stands out is 2004. Terrell Owens had 20 receptions of 20+ yards that year, and Todd Pinkston averaged 18.8 yards per reception, third-best among receivers with at least 35 catches.
I was surprised to find that in 2006, McNabb had a higher yards per attempt number than at any other time in his career, and it was higher than Vick's in 2010 too. That year, Reggie Brown and Donte' Stallworth combined for 29 catches that gained 20+ yards, just five fewer than Jackson and Maclin in 2010. Brian Westbrook and L.J. Smith chipped in with nine apiece. And Hank Baskett averaged 21.1 yards per catch on 22 receptions.
It should be no surprise that the numbers have been up the past two seasons with Jackson and Maclin. I mentioned above that they combined for 34 plays of 20+ yards in 2010. And they combined for 29 of them in 2009.
One major difference in the past two seasons has been Brent Celek. He had 16 catches fo 20+ yards in 2009 (tied for 10th in the NFL), but only eight in 2010.
It's amazing, though, how similar Vick and McNabb's numbers were in these two categories the past two seasons.
Barring injuries, the Eagles will return the exact same set of offensive skill players in 2011. Assuming pass protection holds up, expect the Birds to once again count on the deep ball next season (or whenever football returns).

Swimming Pool Blog

Factors Influencing Drowning Rates
According to the CDC, about ten people per day die in the U.S. from drowning. Of these, two are under the age of 14, or about 20%. Drowning currently ranks fifth among leading causes of unintentional injury.
Not all drowning occurs in swimming pools, natural settings can account for the largest drowning numbers - except for the 1-4 year old age group. Among children aged 1-4, a swimming pool was where most drownings occurred. For people 15 years and older, 57% occurred in natural water settings.
What have we learned? The CDC and other groups have been compiling data for years now on accidental drownings in the United States. Fortunately, the CDC has not kept simply to reporting the data, but has provided analysis and recommendations related to their findings.
Factors Influencing Drowning Rates:
AGE: Drowning occurs among all age groups, but the 1-4 year old group has the highest percentage of drowning (30%, of all unintentional injuries). Drowning becomes less common the older you become, and decline rapidly for people over 35 years old. But among youngsters age 1-4, drowning is the leading cause of death, and in the 5-14 age group, it is the second largest killer.
SEX: Are girls and women just more careful? Are they keeping their hair dry? Maybe boys and young men, full of spirit, are placing themselves in harm's way more often. Whatever the reason, males account for 80% of the drowning deaths in America. Males also have the highest injury rate around pools, and sadly, most of the diving accidents that occur. Interestingly, men of all ages report greater swimming ability than women. Maybe they think they are better than they really can?
RACE: Minority children aged 5-14 run a 300% greater risk of accidental drowning than white kids. Drowning rates for African Americans and Hispanics are also higher in all other age groups. Part of the problem includes availability of pools and short swim seasons. Among all racial groups, African Americans report the most limited swimming ability.
SWIMMING SKILLS: Over a third of adult Americans report that they consider their swimming skills poor, or they classify themselves as not knowing how to swim. This would certainly also be true of most, if not all of the 1-4 year olds who drown. Organized swimming lessons, even just 1 or 2 courses, can prevent drowning. Some classes are even designed specifically for that purpose!
LACK OF BARRIERS: A barrier to entry is sometimes thought of as a bad thing, but in pools we talk about Layers of Protection. A 4-sided pool fence can reduce drowning risk by as much as 83% over a 3-sided pool fence (with the 4th side being the house). Having a safety pool cover for winter and door alarms and a pool alarm during summer can significantly increase your "Barriers to Entry".
LACK OF SUPERVISION: Proper supervision, close supervision. Without chatting, texting, reading, sleeping, etc. Without over-reliance on lessons, lectures, lifeguards, life jackets or Larry, your nephew who said he'd watch your child while you ran inside for a minute. Drowning among the 1-4 age group can also occur in bathtubs, ponds, spas, even a 5 gallon bucket, and even in the presence of lifeguards.
As mentioned earlier, the statistics on drowning and near-drowning collected by the CDC and other organizations over the years has led to some important discoveries about how to prevent such tragedies.
1. Swimming Skills: Taking part in formal swimming lessons reduces the risk of drowning among children aged 1-4 years. Learning to tread water and stay afloat can be taught in just a handful of short swim sessions. Adult non-swimmers should take a course designed for water survival skills, even if they don't plan on becoming regular recreational swimmers.
2. Learn CPR: CPR performed by bystanders has saved many lives and improves outcomes in drowning situations. The more quickly CPR is started, the better chance for survival. There's no time to Google it ~ learn now by going to the American Red Cross take-a-class site for their online course. CPR has changed in recent years, so even if you took it in college, it's time to refresh your lifesaving skills.
3. Life Jackets Reduce Risk: Half of all boating deaths could be prevented by this one simple step. Around pools, USCG approved life vests or swim aids are your best protection against accidental drowning. For toddlers, swim suits with built in flotation pads can add a valuable layer of protection when you both are around the pool. Air filled water wings, foam pool noodles, or inflatable rafts are no substitution for proper life jackets.
4. Avoid Alcohol: The CDC found that among adults and adolescents, alcohol use is involved in nearly 70% of deaths associated with water recreation. Effects of alcohol are heightened by sun and heat. A large number of these are boating accidents, but many adult pool drowning victims have a measurable blood alcohol level. It is also attributed to most diving accidents, the ones that result in spinal cord injuries.
5. Don't Hyperventilate: Sometimes swimmers play the game of who can hold their breath the longest underwater, and some kids will hyperventilate before swimming underwater. This can cause them to pass out or black out for a time, long enough to drown. This is also known as "Shallow Water blackout", and it is very dangerous.

Scientist Study Ants in 3D
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: GPS, Science
Researchers from Texas A&M have been utilizing radar to map a leaf-cutting Atta ant colony. They then digitize the images and turned into an interactive visualization system without displacing them. The results are a vertical slice of dirt with tunnels showing as low density, the food fungus, higher, and the earth surrounding the tunnels even higher. By shifting the GPR device, they get 3D.
"Leafcutting ant nests can hold a 3-story house—the rural legend is that tractors can disappear into them," says team leader Dr. Carol LaFayette.
That makes you wonder just what is down there, doesn't it?

Welcome to the Dermalogica way of thinking about skin!
What is face mapping?
Face Mapping is a revolutionary approach to skin analysis developed by The International Dermal Institute exclusively for Dermalogica. Using the zones and the Dermalogica Face Map as a guide, the skin therapist is able to conduct an inch-by-inch, methodical analysis of the facial landscape, guaranteeing that the subsequent professional treatment and home-care prescription will fully address each client's concerns.
The Face Mapping Skin Analysis is a FREE Service offered by Mirabella.
To schedule yours, call 360-378-4250 or email Mary-Brooke here.
Zones 1 & 3 - The Forehead
Congestion may develop here if you are not cleansing your forehead thoroughly, especially if you are using heavy foundation, or eyebrow makeup.
Zone 2 - Between the Eyebrows
Excess oil production between the eyebrows may be causing breakouts, but congestion here may also be due to poor hygiene when removing eyebrow hair.
Zones 4 & 10 - The Ears
Comedones (blackheads) can form inside the ear because product and shampoo collects in the ear well. Using a telephone headset or cellphone may contribute to comedones behind the ear. If you have nickel allergies and wear earings containing nickel, you may have resulting redness or irritation.
Zones 5 & 9 - The Cheeks
Broken capillaries or redness on the cheeks may come from smoking, or be the result of allergies, sinus problems, or a recent chest infection (i.e., a cough or bronchitis). If milia or congestion is present, it is probably caused by a cosmetic blush or foundation that is clogging your skin. Flushing of the cheeks and nose may indicate Rosacea.
Zones 6 & 8 - The Eyes
Dark circles or congestion under the surface of the eye orbit are often hereditary, but are worsened by poor elimination and lack of sleep. The eye area is delicate and needs greater protection from the elements. Large sunglasses (especially the wrap-around variety) will protect this delicate tissue by reducing sun damage and aging. Milia around the eyes are often caused by makeup that contains comedogenic ingredients, such as synthetic colors and eye shadows that glitter or have a high shine.
Zone 7 - The Nose
Zone 7 tends to have the most congestion due to increased oil production. A reddened nose can indicate the early stages of Rosacea. Broken capillaries around the nose may follow a cold or sinus infection, or be caused by improper extraction technique. Congestion around the upper lip can occur if you use comedogenic lipsticks or liners. Pigmentation or increased hair growth on the top lip may be caused by hormonal changes or oral contraceptives.
Zones 11 & 13 - The Jawline and Chin
Undersurface congestion can be due to insufficient cleansing, leaving makeup and cleanser residue. If you've had extensive dental surgery, or if you have a TMJ dysfunction you might notice a breakout along the jaw line, near the ears.
Zone 12 - The Chin
Breakouts or unusual hair growth can indicate hormonal imbalance, possibly caused by extreme stress. Premenstrual breakouts are also very common on the chin.
Zone 14 - The Neck and Chest
This area is commonly exposed to the sun and should always be protected because it is the first zone to really show signs of aging. In fact, it deserves all the wonderful care you give your face. Pigmentation may occur here when UV light reacts with perfume. If so, apply fragrance to areas that are not exposed to sunlight.

Hi,I do not have these particular devices but I do own an Omran Body Fat calculator to chart my process. I've switched from mostly cardio to a weight lifting/ cardio routine as a result of the analyzer. I find it very valuable in charting my muscle gain/fat loss.
This should not be construed as medical advice. I am a retired Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.Our Body Fat Analyzer Scale Store has expanded. There is a newFitbit FB201W Aria Wi-fi Smart Scale it is quite a bit lower in cost than the Withings Wifi Body ScaleWe also have added a more expensive option:Tanita BC-1000WH Ant+ Wireless Body Composition Bundle with Remote Display. I like the connectivity and data collection power of a wi-fi connected measurement tool for someone working on weight loss, bodybuilding, working out or any other system for body change. The concept of a more comprehensive proof for method working is important. Having the scale analyzer connected to your phone, computer, ipad or other device is great. Have you tried such a method? How has this worked for you?Hope this helps,Michael Bermant, MDExplore our Plastic Surgery Forum
Many methods for measuring body fat are notoriously inaccurate, and some leave a huge margin of error!

Gangs of New York R1 vs R2
This DVD has been a cause for concern amongst film fans as on its release the region 1 edition was spread across two DVDs while th...
The basic premise of Edge Enhancement is that it is used to trick the eye into thinking the picture is sharper than it is. This is used primarily for those people watching DVDs on smaller TVs. However when larger TVs and projectors come into the equation, problems arise. Outlines of people, buildings, cars, in fact anything that has an edge to it, then has a halo present. The annoying thing is that TVs generally come with a sharpness setting and so if it was left off the DVD, it could be tuned in manually by people with smaller screens instead of ruining the viewing experience of people with larger screen equipment. There are some ripping examples of Edge Enhancement on DVD including Terminator 2:UE and Star Wars: Episode 1 (however the production company deny the existance of EE on this disc - obviously they haven't seen it!). The Region 2 version of Spawn:Directors Cut suffers from this problem too and so below are some shots detailing this. Each frame includes a zoomed part in which you will hopefully be able to see what I am going on about.
As you can see, these halos are not a fixed colour, and will only be visible on larger screens. As they become more affordable, many of us are starting to invest in larger televisions, plasma screens and even projectors which means Edge Enhancement is really a problem. Hopefully in the future they will abandon the use of this concept.
So that is your basic overview of EE and why it is used. A lot of people with larger viewing equipment have seen this frankly pointless phenomenon on the R1 edition of Gangs of New York.
Unfortunately I have not had access to both regions of this film so the screen caps were done by different people on different PCs. This means that there will be some discrepincies in colour and brightness levels as unfortuantely PowerDVD captures images based on its viewing settings rather than the original video settings. Hopefully you will be able to ignore these and concentrate of the Edge Enhancement. Could it be that the R2 is superior in that it is presented on just the one disc, and is free of EE? Lets find out.
So on this outdoor scene we do get a halo around DDL's head. A little more pronounced on the R1, the image has slightly different brightness and contrast settings so it would appear that the edge enhancement is on both discs here at about the same level.
Again we can see a halo, this time around angelic Leonardo's hat. Its fairly mild and a lot of the other hard lines in this scene do not produce the same affect leading me to think the edge enhancement is only mildly applied in this instance.
Edge Enhancement shows up easier when there is a darker colour on a lighter background. There is not too much of that going on in this scene and I could not see any edge enhancement here.
Again with this interior shot - there is very little haloing present. A real close inspection reveals some on the end of DeCaprio's nose due to the light reflecting off its surface however this scene is as before - no real viewable edge enhancement.
As before this outdoor scene with its bright sky shows the edge enhancement up a lot more than on the darker interior shots. This particular scene is not a great example however you can stil see the halo present around various parts of people heads however it must not be confused with the bright edges to everything that are caused by the lighting of the scene.
Here we can see the EE on the opening credits. It really is very visible here and these screen shots barely do it justice it is so prominent. Again, it looks more visible on the region 1 disc than on the region 2 for some reason.
So, what to conclude? Well the bit rate for the region 1 is an average of 7.08Mb/s (6.69 on disc 1 and 7.47 on disc 2) and the region 2 is 6.16Mb/s (all values calculated using Bit Rate Viewer 1.4 from visualdomain.net). The region 1 is presented on two dual layered discs however the film is for some reason presented on the first layer of each disc only, with extra features on the other layer of each disc whilst the region 2 film is packaged onto one dual layered disc (with the extras on a seperate disc). Edge enhancement does appear to be present on both discs. I cannot give a 100% that it is the same level on each but it does appear to be that way. This unfortunately makes my conclusion wary. If I had both sets of DVDs I think it would be easier to make a rock solid conclusion but unfortunately I cannot.
The apparent slightly higher bit rate would make the R1 the one to go for, but while the bit rate on the R2 is marginally lower, the picture is still good, but not awe-inspiring as perhaps a lot of us were hoping (however it does appear to be this way on the R1 too). Therefore it comes down to if you want to get up in the middle of the film to change discs. It might come as a welcome "bathroom break" as it is not a short film by any means, and so unless you think you will be able to see the difference in bit rate all the evidence seems to point to the region 2 DVD with it's better concept of single disc feature presentation.
Edge enhancement often gets picked up first by DVD enthusiasts in the US since it is much more the norm to have a 60" rear projection television or projector where as a lot of us in the UK have yet to go so large. Hopefully by the time we catch up, edge enhancement will have been left long behind.

But it looks like this:
3 year deal with option(s) and incentives. Not certain about the total value (heard a couple of things). Will be announced after the World Series is done.
So that is that. And you will hear the details from the access folks soon (Giants' helping)
If my electric holds Sandy, I might add more.
Just wanted you all to know.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama said he and congressional leaders must quickly get down to work to avert upcoming automatic tax hikes and spending cuts as he sat down for talks with lawmakers on Friday.
"I think we're all aware that we have some urgent business to do," the president told reporters.
"We've got to make sure that taxes don't go up on middle-class families, that our economy remains strong, that we're creating jobs, and that's an agenda that Democrats and Republicans and independents, people all across the country share," he said.
Obama met with congressional leaders and top aides in the Roosevelt Room of the White House. To the president's right sat House Speaker John Boehner and to his left was Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Vice President Joe Biden also was at the table with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, the president's Chief of Staff Jack Lew, and the National Economic Council head Gene Sperling.
Obama repeated his position that the solution to avoiding the so-called fiscal cliff must balance increased tax revenues against any cuts to spending or reforms to social safety net programs.
"My hope is that this is going to be the beginning of a fruitful process where we're able to come to an agreement that will reduce our deficit in a balanced way, that we will deal with some of these long-term impediments to growth and we're also going to be focusing on making sure that middle class families are able to get ahead," he said.
Adding a touch of levity at the start of what are expected to be tough negotiations, but also giving a hint of the type of jostling that lies ahead, the president called reporters back to congratulate Boehner on his birthday.
"For those who want to wish him a happy birthday, we're not going to embarrass him with a cake because we didn't know how many candles were needed," Obama said.
Smiling, Boehner, replied, "Yeah, right."
