A computer program is a list of instructions that can be executed by a central processing unit. A program's execution is done in order for the CPU that is executing it to solve a specific problem and thus accomplish a specific result. While simple processors are able to execute instructions one after another, superscalar processors are capable of executing a variety of different instructions at once.

The MIPS architecture provides a specific example for a machine code whose instructions are always 32 bits long. The general type of instruction is given by the op (operation) field, the highest 6 bits. J-type (jump) and I-type (immediate) instructions are fully specified by op . R-type (register) instructions include an additional field funct to determine the exact operation. The fields used in these types are:
rs , rt , and rd indicate register operands; shamt gives a shift amount; and the address or immediate fields contain an operand directly.
For example, adding the registers 1 and 2 and placing the result in register 6 is encoded:

, providing a common machine language interface across a line or family of different models of computer with widely different underlying dataflows . This is done to facilitate porting of machine language programs between different models. An example of this use is the IBM System/360 family of computers and their successors. With dataflow path widths of 8 bits to 64 bits and beyond, they nevertheless present a common architecture at the machine language level across the entire line.
The estimation, from the data, of the terms in this equation is explained in the Additional file 1 . Below we will interpret the direction of the p -vector, b , as the direction in expression space that best characterizes the differential expression, and show how the components of this vector can be used to identify differentially expressed genes. However, first we note a few potential issues: the calculation involves the inverse of a very large p × p matrix which is not only expensive to compute but also the elements must be estimated from a relatively small sample-size ( p >> N ), which means that the matrix is singular and this leads to large variance in the results even when using the generalized inverse.
where MathML is the estimated covariance matrix, and σ 2 is the scalar covariance (see Additional file 1 for elaboration). The inclusion of a constant on the diagonal resolves the singularity problem, and the modulation of the off-diagonal terms helps to reduce noise arising from the estimation of covariance from few samples.
Then the contribution of each MathML to this sum can be interpreted as quantifying the relative contribution of each component to the total differential expression giving the significance of the corresponding gene. The above interpretation provides a quantitative measure of the relative, but not absolute, significance of each gene to the differential expression, and as such can be used to rank the genes in order of significance. However, we also want to identify a shortlist of significant DEGs. This could be done completely within the framework we have outlined by using a L 1 regularization scheme in place of that used in the shrinkage equation above; such a penalty results in automatic feature selection because many components fall to zero; the genes corresponding to the features retained would then comprise the DEGs. An alternative method to deriving a significance threshold is described below.
We generate synthetic normalized expression data which incorporates multivariate structure. The multivariate structure of real biological expression data is not fully known, we therefore use a simple approach which incorporates some of the best established properties of such data: 1) large number of features (genes) with a relatively small number of samples; 2) significant dependencies between the expression levels of the genes, leading to dimensionality which is much smaller than the number of features. In addition to these properties we require control over the number and identity of genes which are differentially expressed between two datasets. There are a number of ways that datasets with these properties may be generated, but we chose the simplest, with the fewest free parameters. In a nutshell, we use a multi-variate normal distribution distributed throughout a random subspace of the full expression space, the dimension of which reflects the dimension of the dataset. By ensuring that this subspace spans a predefined vector of differentially expressed genes we can perturb the mean of the normal distribution, preserving the covariance matrix, to generate data with pre-defined differentially expressed genes. An explicit description of the algorithm follows:
A polyline can be constructed given one of the following inputs:
Note that degenerate polylines are not supported. That is, it is impossible to construct a polyline that contains a segment of length zero, or an isolated point. Finally, a polyline is continuous and well-oriented ; that is, the target of the i th segment is the source of the i+1 st segment. For example, the general polyline
can be represented by one of the following two
Also, note, that a single polyline can be split into several x -monotone polylines, and that the number of intersection points (or overlapping sections) between two polylines can also be large.
Technically speaking, it is possible to construct a general polyline that is neither well-oriented nor continuous. However, it is impossible to use such polylines for the purpose of computing an arrangement.
You can traverse over the range of defining segments of a given polyline. The
iterators can be obtained through the access functions of the polyline
, respectively. The vertices of an
-monotone curve are always stored in a strongly monotonic lexicographical order. In other words,
-monotone polylines can be directed
right-to-left. If the macro
is set to 1, then the
-monotone polylines are always directed from left-to-right (only proposed for backward compatibility).
The polyline-traits class does not perform any geometric operations directly. Instead, it solely relies on the functionality of the segment traits. For example, when we need to determine the position of a point with respect to an x -monotone polyline, we use binary search to locate the relevant segment that contains the point in its x -range. Then, we compute the position of the point with respect to this segment. Thus, operations on x -monotone polylines of size m typically take O(\log m) time.
You are free to choose the underlying segment traits class. Your decision could be based, for example, on the number of expected intersection points; see Section
Traits Classes for Line Segments and Linear Objects
. Moreover, it is possible to substitute the
template parameter with a traits class that handles segments with some additional data attached to each individual segment; see Section
Traits-Class Decorators
. This makes it possible to associate different data objects with the different segments that compose a polyline.
The following example program constructs an arrangement of three polylines, as depicted in Figure 34.13 . Note that most points defining the polylines are not associated with arrangement vertices. The arrangement vertices are either the endpoints of each x -monotone polyline or the intersection points between two polylines:

Brandi Glanville Disses Adrienne Maloof For Kissing A Younger Man
No surprise here — Brandi didn't exactly hold back on her feelings about Adrienne's relationship with 32-year-old beau Sean Stewart. Keep reading to see what the 'RHOBH' star said about her castmate!
Brandi Glanville confided in HollywoodLife.com exclusively that she still can't stand to think of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills co-star Adrienne Maloof, even though Paul Nassif is out of the picture.
Brandi Glanville Doesn't Even Want To Think About Adrienne Maloof's Relationship
When we asked her what she thought about Adrienne, 51, dating someone 19 years younger than her, she admitted that the idea haunts her.
"I try not to get that visual in my head," she said.
Adrienne started dating Sean Stewart just two months after her divorce. He is the son of iconic musician Rod Stewart and has been on a few reality shows himself, including Sons of Hollywood and Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew. The mismatched couple has been known to show major PDA in public, which has to really gross Brandi out.
Adrienne's ex Paul, had an enormous conflict with Miss Glanville, and apparently the next guy isn't having any better luck!
But Would Brandi Date A Younger Guy?
What makes Brandi's comments really twist like a knife is that she also told HollywoodLife that she's into dating younger guys!
"I definitely have dated [younger men]," she said. She also admitted that the younger ones are the ones she likes to chase. Talk about a double standard.
On the other hand though, Brandi is only 40 years old. So her hooking up with a 32-year-old guy isn't quite the same as Adrienne doing it.
But we'll have to wait and see whether or not Adrienne fights off the visual of Brandi with younger men.
What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Is Adrienne's relationship with Sean as gross as Brandi says it is? Let us know!

Glimpsed at Art of Giving: Alexandra Shek
Alexandra Shek, 41, enjoys a "trendy" style. And the Owings Mills resident shows some of this season's top trends in the outfit she wore to Ruth Shaw's Art of Giving fashion show at Renaissance Fine Arts, a benefit for the Baltimore School for the Arts and Kennedy Krieger Institute. The former children's boutique owner sported a Sanctuary faux fur vest from Nordstrom over a neon pink Shoshanna silk tunic from Bergdorf Goodman and Citizens of Humanity skinny jeans from South Moon Under. Her black suede Cole Haan Air over-the-knee boots came from Matava Shoes, and her tan and gold leather Milly handbag from Bergdorf Goodman. Shek bought her charm necklace at Radcliffe Jewelers and her Alexis Bittar chandelier earrings at Panache. Her ensemble also points out some of her own personal trends. "I do wear a lot of hot pink. I always like to add an overpiece, like a vest or a scarf. And I often work my outfits around my shoes."

Deep Red (US - BD RA)
Gabe revisits the Argento classic & compares the 4K remaster to older discs
It's difficult to choose writer/director Dario Argento's best film. On Argento's strange and ambitious terms Suspiria is the obvious frontrunner, and it's certainly the one film in his oeuvre that has had the longest lasting effect on cinema. But if we're judging based on more conventional terms, like performance, screenwriting, direction, and cinematography, I'm thinking Deep Red (aka: Profondo Rosso) is the better choice. In fact, if we're going to talk about the best Giallo (Italian murder mystery/stalk and slash thriller) of all time, I'm also going to pick Deep Red above all Argento's other Gialli, all Sergio Martino's Gialli, all Antonio Bido's Gialli, all Lucio Fulci's Gialli, and even all of Mario Bava's Gialli. Deep Red embodies all of Argento's defining tropes – an artistically inclined protagonist trips into the position of junior detective after coincidentally witnessing a murder (murder attempt), and is then targeted, along with his loved ones, by the killer (would-be killer) for extermination – and features plenty of ferocious, yet balletic violence. But Deep Red doesn't sacrifice character relationships, comedy, or plot in telling its ostentatious and single minded mystery. Though I'm a huge proponent of the genre, I tend to recognize its limitations, especially its general skewing towards style over substance (in The Official Splatter Movie Guide author John McCarthy refers to Gialli as 'stylish and colourful – and about as involving as a party at which you're the only guest'). Deep Red is scary, thrilling, and mysterious, but it's also affecting, funny, and engaging on multiple levels.
The plot goes a little something like this: English jazz pianist Marc Daly (David Hemmings) lives and works in Italy. One night while walking back to his apartment following a rehearsal, Marc witnesses his downstairs neighbor Helga Ulmann's (Macha Meril) brutal murder from the street level, and is not fast enough to rescue her before she bleeds to death. While discussing the attack with Italian police, Marc meets reporter Gianna Brezzi (Daria Nicolodi), who takes his picture, and sticks it on the front page of the local paper. Marc confronts Gianna, who charms him into joining her in an amateur investigation of Helga's murder. The team meets Dr. Giordani (Glauco Mauri), who explains that Helga was a psychic medium who experienced premonitions of violence during her latest exhibition (the opening scene of the film). Assuming someone in the audience was her killer, Marc, Gianna and Giordani delve into research, while a black gloved killer continues a bloody killing spree.
Argento doesn't quite have a screwball comedy in him, but he does an admirable job introducing Howard Hawks' trademark brand of amusingly romantic back and forth to the camera obsessed, violence-around-every-corner Giallo genre. Daria Nicolodi and David Hemmings make pretty good Rosalind Russell and Cary Grant stand-ins too. These semi-screwball elements are the major reason the longer 126 minute version of the film is the better overall experience. The 105 minute cut (avoid the 96 minute cut altogether) is taut mystery thriller, but it's lacking the novelty of the funny character stuff, not to mention a romance that's not built out of sultry sexy glances (the director's relationship with sex was rather chaste all the way up to Tenebre). Argento didn't whip out his comedy card very often following Deep Red, save a few odd, usually out of place moments, or unfortunate bouts with unintended comedy, but up to that point Four Flies on Grey Velvet was his only particularly po-faced movie. Bird with the Crystal Plumage and Cat O' Nine Tails both slide plenty of giggles between the thrills, and Five Days of Milan is more or less a straight slapstick satire (which is precisely why most fans tend to ignore it). Argento even ended up recycling some of the best jokes from this script, specifically one where the police detective innocently implies he doesn't consider being a pianist a 'job' (the director revisits this in Inferno, where a nurse innocently implies she considers music and poetry to be 'strange jobs'). Later Michele Soavi would pay homage to one of Deep Red's running gags in Cemetery Man ( Dellamorte Dellamore), by having a reasonably incidental old lady continuously and mistakenly describe the main character's profession as that of 'an engineer'.
Sexual politics have a huge place in Deep Red – from Carlo (Gabriele Lavia), Marc's tortured piano playing friend's sexual preferences, to hilariously literal battles of the sexes between Marc and Gianna. Besides an impromptu Indian (arm) wrestling session, which Marc loses, and blames on elbow placement (leading to my all time favourite line reading in Argento's catalogue: 'It seems there are just some things you which you just cannot do seriously with liberated women'), Gianna's car emasculates him with its broken seat, and ridiculous scale. Strangely enough the shortest US cut, under the Hatchet Murders title, doesn't only cut most of these scenes, it cuts one short to make it appear that Marc has won the argument, which could, I suppose, be read as sexism on the part of the editors. Concerning Carlo's sexual identity, Deep Red was not the first time Argento had dealt with homosexuality, but it was the first time he treated homosexuality as more than a good natured punch line. Along with Sidney Lumet's Dog Day Afternoon (my second favourite movie of all time, and one also released in 1975), Deep Red features one of the earliest respectable mainstream film representations of gays. Some could argue that Carlo's sexuality is a symptom of his damaged emotional state, but Gabriele Lavia doesn't play him as a stereotype, and his preferences aren't seen as a problem by anyone but himself, which itself is a clearer symptom of his mental problems. Carlo's boyfriend, who is presented as sympathetic, is actually portrayed by a woman in man-drag. Seven years later Argento would employ a transgender actress to play a 'dream woman' in Tenebre.
With Deep Red Argento also manages to distill ideas that permeate in all three films in his 'Animal Trilogy' ( Bird with the Crystal Plumage, Cat O' Nine Tails and Four Flies on Grey Velvet). Most Gialli that followed the success of Bird with the Crystal Plumage deal with the concept of killers being victims of emotional or physical trauma. This concept can be traced back to the Godfather of all Gialli, Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho, but most early Gialli focused more on their Agatha Christie whodunit aspects, and most early villains were either greedy bastards, or simply psychopathic, murderous assholes. Argento's mysteries have rarely played fair with his audience (the killer is usually the last person you'd suspect, but only because you weren't given any real clues), but his best Gialli deal deeply in fractured psyches, and imaginative motivations. Bird with the Crystal Plumage features Argento's best twist, but Deep Red features a murder mystery that permeates the fabric of the entire story, all the way down to its very meta subtext (like many of the best movies, Deep Red is a movie about movies). A synopsis of the entire film's plot would likely read as overly simple, but the placement of the clues, and the places the clues lead create a rich and rewarding tapestry that supports Argento's incredible visuals, rather than being ruled by them. This is yet another reason the truncated American release doesn't work as well as the longer Italian cut. The 'destination is greater than the journey' perspective, along with the presence of David Hemmings, has lead many critics to consider Deep Red Argento's answer to Michelangelo Antonioni's Blow-Up. Blow-Up, by the way, could be read as Antoniono's answer to Gialli (he was a fan of Bava's), and was semi-remade by Brian DePalma (who some might consider Argento's American counterpart) as Blow Out.
In her book Broken Mirrors/Broken Minds: The Dark Dreams of Dario Argento (which has been recently been re-released and updated) fellow Argentophile Maitland McDonagh directs our attention to Deep Red's most obvious and easy to miss repeating thematic element, that of the doppelganger. Besides noting examples of mirror images (the protagonist's biggest clue, the final image), McDonagh points out that Carlo is a pseudo-twin to Marc that is damaged by emotional trauma as a child. While making her point, McDonagh discusses the difference between the traditional ghostly doppelganger relationship found in films like The Student of Prague, The Man Who Haunted Himself or Hatchet for the Honeymoon, and the relationship Argento crafted.
Quote: "In Deep Red the doppelganger relationship of Marc and Carlo is of a different order: each character is contextually real, and they don't bear a conventional doubling relationship to one another – they aren't siblings, lovers, namesakes or dead ringers to on another. But they're linked by circumstance and detail in a number of ways, and the linkage is so obsessive and pervasive that it demands structural resolution."
In his suffering, Carlo misses out on all the good things in life Marc's cultivated with similar talent (Sam and Ted Raimi and Alvin Sargent did something similar when they adapted the Venom character for Spider-Man 3, based loosely on ideas explored by other Venom revisionists like Brian Michael Bendis). Carlo himself puts it best when we first meet him drunkenly languishing beside a fountain – 'The difference between you and me is purely political. You see, we both play good piano, right? (laughs) But I'm a proletarian of the keyboard, and you're the bourgeoisie. You play for art, and enjoy it. I play for survival. (wags finger) That's not the same thing…'. McDonagh also notes that, of course, the majority of moments that illustrates Marc and Carlo's doppelganger relationship is missing from the truncated cut.
On many levels Deep Red is Argento's most accessible film, behind perhaps Bird with the Crystal Plumage (I know I once said that about Tenebre, but have since been proven wrong). As mentioned, the story is well constructed, the characters are well rounded, and there's a solid sense of humour at the center of it all. Unfortunately for the fans hoping to bring their more squeamish friends into the wacky, colourful world of Dario Argento, Deep Red is also quite graphically violent. The violence isn't so much gruesome as it is painful, and wince inducing. The graphic frequency of violence on display here was actually not par for the course in the Giallo genre at the time, and was certainly a first in the Argento canon, well, unless we're counting his under-seen attempt at historical satire in The Five Days of Milan. Argento's Animal Trilogy was certainly violent by early '70s standards, but didn't languish in chunky hatchet wounds, or play end credits over a pool of freshly spilled claret. The major exceptions to this 'rule' are Mario Bava's Bay of Blood, which is less of a Giallo, more of a satire of Gialli, and Lucio Fulci's Don't Torture a Duckling, which features one of the most shocking and brutal sequences of violence in the genre's history.
It's easy enough to gross an audience out with messy wounds (if Jesus Franco and Joe D'Amato can do it, anyone can), but here Argento takes effort to make his violence hurt, a practice he started around the climax of Cat O' Nine Tales, when a character scorches his hands sliding down a metal cable. The key here is that Argento chooses modes of grievous bodily harm that anyone can relate to, not just the murder victims among us. Most of us have scalded ourselves with hot liquid, stumbled into a wooden corner, skinned a knee on the asphalt, or caught a sliver of glass in our finger, so when we see victims with their heads plunged into steaming bathtubs, their faces slammed into wooden mantelpieces, their bodies dragged behind moving vehicles, or their femoral arteries severed on broken windows, we can sympathize with the sensation on a personal level. The actual gore effects are certainly dated – the blood is too pink and orange, the wounds are obviously rubber appliances (though that burn make-up does stand up rather well) – but the sentiment is still quite raw. Critic Kim Newman notes in his seminal tome Nightmare Movies (which has also recently been partially re-written and rereleased) that some of the more violent bits are even foreshadowed, in keeping with the murderous intent discovered by Helga the clairvoyant at the beginning of the film. Newman's examples include a discussion between Gianna and Marc where he jokingly says he plays the piano because it represents a need to bash in his father's teeth, prefiguring the mouth on the mantelpiece kill, and another comedy bit where Marc is scalded while standing next to an espresso machine, prefiguring the boiling bathtub kill (which, by the way, was borrowed by John Carpenter and Rick Rosenthal for the original Halloween II).
My personal experience with Deep Red has run possibly the largest gamut of quality of any movie. First, I found a full frame VHS from a company that picked up the apparently copyright free international cut (under the horrible title The Hatchet Murders) and put zero effort into, well, making the print not look like grimy, smeared chunks of boar crap. I'm not sure if anyone here has ever sat through Deep Red in full frame, but it's by far the worst of all of Argento's films to see outside its natural 2.35:1 framing. Even worse than Suspira. The full frame transfers weren't pan and scan, so some scenes would feature discussions between characters that were entirely out of shot on either end of the original frame. Later, I discovered a bootleg recording of the long Italian version of the film in widescreen for rent at a local video store (Casa Video, you are the best thing that could ever happened to a horror geek), likely taken from the Japanese laser disc release (they were always taken from Japanese laser disc releases). This allowed me to see the entire image, but the bootleg quality created an occasionally indiscernible blur. Being an obsessive completest, I of course made my own bootleg VHS from this bootleg VHS. Finally in 2000, Anchor Bay, with the help of a pre-Blue Underground Bill Lustig, brought Deep Red to DVD, and included the Italian cut, in beautiful widescreen. Most of us assumed this was as good as it would ever get. Now, after re-releasing the DVD under their banner, Blue Underground is back with a 1080p, full HD transfer mastered from the original camera negative, and I need to reevaluate my personal definition of 'as good as it would ever get'.
Things start with the cleanliness of the incredibly vibrant reds, which were more like semi-brown blocking parties on the DVD release, but the general increase in detail is also very impressive for fans like me that haven't ever had the option of seeing the film on a big screen in 35mm. At one point in preparing this section of this review I paused the film to gather my marbles (super secret Deep Red reference!). Usually a paused frame will give away a transfer's largest shortcomings, revealing grain, artefacts, and blurry edges you hadn't noticed while the image was moving, but this frame, that of Helga lying on the floor, face down after being axed in the shoulder. In this frame I noticed not grain, not artefacts, but incredible detail I had missed while the image ran forward at 24 frames. I could practically count the hairs on Macha Méril's blond head. Then, shortly after, I paused again on a random frame to jot down some thoughts on the soundtrack. In this frame the killer is scanning Helga's documents with his black gloved finger. I realized that for the first time ever I could read the actual script on the white page (well, kinda, it's in German), see the creases on in the leather of the glove, and even the intricate, interlacing pattern on the desk the pages sat upon. Other easily missed and more important elements are made clear. Another good example is the scene in which the killer interrupts Marc as he writes music. On earlier releases, it wasn't clear that plaster falls from the ceiling onto the piano, that a shadow is cast across the room as the killer enters the villa, or that a large bead of sweat pours down Hemmings' temple. On the DVD these details aren't necessarily obscured, but they're a little confusing.
Colours are incredible, and stretch the image beyond the DVD releases' capabilities, especially the overwhelming red of the theatrical curtains towards the beginning of the film. The richer green elements, specifically ferns decorating some of the sets, stand out quite nicely against the otherwise warm environments, but it's the profoundly red (title pun!) elements set against innocuous backdrops that really pop, and do so without bleeding or blocking. But let's not get too excited, it's not a perfect transfer, it just looks impossibly good considering most expectations (this is not a VHS to DVD jaw dropper). The major issues are the overall colour quality, which runs slightly yellow, and the slightly blown-out nature of the image. Both of these may be intended effects, but are among the more common ailments of older transfers. The black levels and overall contrast is mostly impressive (check out the arm wrestling scene, where Hemmings and Nicolodi's black wardrobes cut sharply against the nearly white backdrop), but some blacks tend to skew towards brown, while some dark blues tend to skew towards black. The clarity isn't always consistent either. Grain thickens and fades, often along the edges of what appear to be reel changeovers (the 'searching the villa' sequence is almost overwhelmingly grainy at times), and artefacts are definitely present, mostly small white flecks, but there on occasion a hair floats into the gate, or a tracking line smears the frame. The sequences missing from the English cut are sometimes noticeably darker than the rest of the print, and some frames shake a bit, again, on what appear to be changeovers. I'd say City of the Living Dead is still Blue Underground's most impressive HD transfer, but at some point this one gives it a little run for its money.
Update, May 21, 2011: I can see from the comparison caps now available on this page thanks to reader Jonathan Hogberg that my notes of the yellowing and blown-out quality may have been understated (look specifically at the mirror and broken doll shots for glaring examples of both). Clearly when comparing the images back to back there is a sizable difference in the contrast and warmth of the palette between this release and the original Anchor Bay DVD. I have blown the DVD caps up to the same size as the Blu-ray caps, however, and strongly suggest readers click on one of the images, then scroll through to compare the massive upgrade in sharpness, and the lack of digital compression artefacts. This is still a very good transfer, but I now admit Blue Underground could've done better in some areas.
e ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I usually end the audio section of my reviews with discussion of a film's musical soundtrack, but Deep Red demands attention to it's score, and the score is the only element Blue Underground has really tampered with in remixing the sound into a DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 (frankly speaking all the extra channels are pretty unnecessary). I own a couple different versions of the soundtrack on CD, and it sounds to me like these stereo versions of the songs were used in an effort to widen the scope of the originally monaural track. A good example of the stereo track's superiority is the hammering piano of 'Death Dies', which starts discretely in the left channel before the guitar, drums and bass fill out the middle and right of the layout (for whatever reason this doesn't seem to apply to all uses of this particular track, however). The rich and warm quality of Bruno Perivale's bass is perhaps the best reason for the upgrade, though the fact that Claudio Simonetti impossibly aggressive keyboard noise on 'Deep Shadows' doesn't distort at its highest volume is another big plus. The more abstract elements of the music, like the wind and whisper sounds preceding the death by scalding water sequence, also sound fuller, louder, and more frightening. My only real issue with the remixed music is the reverb and echo added to the drum tracks, which already sound plenty gigantic.
The sound effects, which are, to my ear, almost entirely centered (as is natural), are less about stereo impact than dynamic impact. Argento does great things with sound by contrasting utter silence with deafening noise, usually in the form of a stab scare (which the music mostly does not do), like a screaming myna bird. Some of these still croak out a bit and turn to fuzz, but comparing the compressed Dolby Digital EX and DTS-HD tracks back to back it's clear that there have been improvements in this arena. But I knew Blue Underground would get this part right, based on previous experience, and previous DVD releases, my fears were related to language option. Clearly I'm partial to the longer, Italian cut, which happens to be in Italian (I know, crazy). Unfortunately, the Italian track dubs lead actor David Hemmings into Italian, and the performances are just different. When Anchor Bay first released the film on DVD they included the English track, which would briefly switch over to Italian with subtitles during the scenes that never featured an English language track (like most Italian films of the era, Deep Red was filmed without sound, and included actors speaking to one another in different languages). I liked this option best, even if Daria Nicolodi's English dubbing voice is a little goofy (most of the time Nicolodi is clearly speaking in English, so it's disappointing she never dubbed her own performance in English as well). The press release for this Blu-ray implied that the film would be sharply divided into the English and Italian language cuts. The truth is that the Italian cut does feature the mixed language track, though unfortunately it is presented in a compressed Dolby Digital EX. The dialogue track is a bit tinny no matter what language you listen to the film in. The English DTS-HD track (presented only with the International cut) tends to be a little more natural, but sometimes too quiet, while the Italian DTS-HD track (presented only with the Italian cut) tends to be louder, but a bit canned. In the end I recommend switching between the tracks to experience the music in fully uncompressed DTS-HD.
Unfortunately there isn't much here in terms of special features, and the extras we do get are either old news, or, well, kind of silly. Things start with the 25th Anniversary interview featurette with Argento, co-writer Bernardino Zapponi and Goblin (Claudio Simonetti, Massimo Morante, Fabio Pignatelli and Agostino Marangolo) (10:50, SD). For those keeping record we've actually passed the film's 36th Anniversary this year. The interviews are pretty brief, but cover some of the more interesting facts of the case. Zapponi is actually the most astute contributor, as he points out the fact that the peripherals of the film are teeming with threat and discomfort (he points to the shot of two dogs fighting that is cut in between two rather innocuous scenes). He also takes credit for discovering Nicolodi and coming up with the show stopping elevator gag. Dario mostly continues his tradition of saying weird stuff that almost makes sense, and briefly discusses his odd habit of acting as the gloved hands in all his films. Next up are the US and International trailers, which are presented in HD, but not at all cleaned up. The US trailer is full of spoilers. The disc is completed with two music videos – Goblin's 'Profondo Rosso' (produced in 2010), and Daemonia's (Simonetti's early '00s band) 'Profondo Rosso'. These would be the silly extras I spoke of earlier.
As a fan I'm ready to call this new release an early frontrunner for Blu-ray of the year, despite its lack of extras, and a few issues with the soundtrack (I wish the mixed language track was presented uncompressed). The 1080p, remastered from the original negative transfer, is not perfect by any means, but as a fan that has struggled through some of the worst home video releases imaginable I'm awestruck and very, very happy. If you haven't experienced Deep Red, or Argento, or better yet you have seen other Argento films and given up on him, this is a great place to start or reevaluate opinions. Folks that have seen the abridged cut also owe it to themselves to experience the 126 minute version.
*Note: Thanks to reader Jonathan Hogberg (Hogaburger) for supplying me with screencaps. These caps have been taken from the Blu-ray and resized for the page. Larger captures are available by clicking individual images, but due to .jpg compression they are not representative of the full quality of the transfer.

Nice review. Just bought this for $14.99 on Amazon, as a bunch of Blue Underground Blus are on sale.
Yeah, from what I'm seeing here there's no reason those of us that aren't obsessed with owning all versions of Argento's films (cough cough) can probably just go with one or the other.
a ditto thx for the screen caps from both BRs and the dvd...however, i'll have to stick with my arrow BR; a 4 dip into this title might preclude something else of equal import...
Thank you for the screen caps comparison.
I guess the DVD had a substantial dose of edge enhancement applied, because, while detail is way higher on the BD, all textures (on the tiles, the patterned wallpaper, the glass door...) are much more visible on the DVD.
As for color and contrast levels, it seems somewhat unconsistent. The BD (specially the Blue Underground release) trumps the DVD on most of the captures, but the ones with the guy reflected on the tiles and the broken doll on the floor are way overblown on the BD. I am afraid someone pressed the "automatic default settings" and stopped paying attention... That's too bad.

And now Chris has added Arrow Blu-ray caps. Interesting that the Arrow release seems to be even more blown-out, I was kind of hoping it would have better colour correction. Again, if you didn't notice the update I wrote in the review, please compare the full screen caps by clicking on the first item, then scrolling through. I've blown up the DVD caps to HD size so you can really get a feel for the differences in detail.
Wow, you can really see the yellow color shift and change in contrast when they're right next to each other. I still prefer the blu-ray for the huge leap in detail though.

Updated. Thanks again hogaburger!
Too late. Brundle Fly is pretty funny.
oh, I didn't realize the link opened up all the songs I had on there. I might have to cull some of those.

Haha, sweet cover. I'll also confess to enjoying 'Whiskey in the Jar', which happens to be the only Metallica song on my computer.
Should be getting this blu-ray in from Amazon on Saturday.

I'm super happy you guys liked that. It was actually kind of hard to set up on our system. And I realized it may have seemed kind of b***hy of me not to explain what it was, but I felt it was worth the joke. Also - it took me way too long to figure it out.

I admit to grabbing my guitar while reading this review
Nice addition to the review with the guitar tab on the main theme. I watched the international cut last night, and indeed, the music sounds great. I want to go buy the soundtrack now. However, I did notice that the same themes played at different points in the movie seemed to have different levels in quality.
The contrast balance is a little too harsh on the Blu-ray, yeah, that's something I missed in the review. But the colors are wayyyyyyyy brighter. I'd say the DVD has the edge on skin tones, but no other hues.
For me, giallo is kind of an acquired taste that I'm still in the process of acquiring, but, as a cinema lover, I am also interested on it from a purely historical perspective, and this movie seems to be as good as any place where to begin.
(I saw SUSPIRIA in my early youth and found it somewhat laughable, due to my general dislike of most Italian cinema's formal mannerisms and to the presence of Miguel Bose in the cast, who was way back then a musical product for teenage girls in my home country, Spain, with very low credibility as a performer)
Regarding your review, is as deep and thorough as we have come to expect from you, so thank you a lot there. But, comparing the DVD captures that illustrate it with actual blu-ray captures from other review sites, the look on the BD feels quite underwhelming to me, with a pretty washed-out palette and too light, whereas the DVD looks much better balanced both in the color and the contrast department. Is that so?

it would be interesting if someone [hint, hint] would compare this blu-ray to the british arrow region free blu-ray release, especially for video and audio. i got the arrow release because it has more--and current--extras as well and really cool, interchangeable cover art.
my first post. always enjoy your reviews.

wow the music is that commanding? you're one of the few reviewers to pay attention to music so i'll blind buy this just for the score.
Nice. I really need to get into some of these Blue Underground releases. Looks like this would be a good start.

A San Diego police captain's son has been ordered to perform 50 days of public work service after pleading guilty to three misdemeanor counts of battery on women in Pacific Beach whom he groped while drunk.
Alex Tyler Guaderrama, 23, will be wearing a device that monitors alcohol use while on terms of three years' probation. His driver license was suspended for 30 days and he was fined on Feb. 11.
Guaderrama, who moved to Alpine, will have to apply for a restricted driver license that would permit driving to and from work, according to Gina Coburn, spokeswoman for the San Diego City Attorney's Office. He will wear the secure continuous remote alcohol monitor (SCRAM) while on probation, she said.
Guaderrama admitted to assaulting two women outside a taco shop around 1 a.m. on Aug. 21 at 1190 Garnet Ave. A third woman was struck in the face. He also pleaded guilty to misdemeanor vandalism involving $400 in damages to a car window of two victims who fled.
His father is Capt. Manny Guaderrama, and the department denied any favorable treatment to his son in the investigation for charges that were filed six weeks later.
The younger Guaderrama could return to court after completion of 25 days of public service and have the next 25 days converted to volunteer work at a non-profit organization.
— Neal Putnam Prosecutor resigns after ticket-fixing fiasco
A jury has convicted a prosecutor of conspiracy to obstruct justice and two other misdemeanors in a Pacific Beach ticket-fixing case and she resigned from the District Attorney's Office on Feb. 19.
The resignation of Allison Worden, 37, will take effect on Feb. 28, said Steve Walker, a spokesperson for District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis. Worden was an experienced prosecutor for 10 years and handled murder and robbery cases.
Because the convictions are misdemeanors, they may not affect her license to practice law, but Worden might have trouble finding employment elsewhere as a prosecutor. She had been on paid leave of absence.
Her attorney, former District Attorney Paul Pfingst, won a delay Feb. 20 in her sentencing and it was set for March 8 before San Diego Superior Court Judge Louis Hanoian. She remains free on her own recognizance.
Worden, who was charged under her married name of Allison Debow, could get up to a year in jail, but it is more likely she would get community service with probation. It would be a security problem for a prosecutor to be sent to any jail.
The incident began on May 28, 2011 in the 4600 block of Cass Street when a police officer pulled over a car driven by another prosecutor, Amy Maund, and discovered that Worden, a passenger, wasn't wearing a seat belt.
The officer issued two tickets to both women, and Worden called Sgt. Kevin Friedman, a supervisor in the traffic department. Friedman apparently destroyed the tickets and later pleaded no contest to destruction of a traffic citation before it was filed in court.
Friedman, 49, was ordered to perform 40 hours of volunteer work, and placed on two years probation with a $500 fine. He also resigned from the police department.
Worden testified "the cop didn't act appropriately" during the traffic stop and said she only called Friedman to complain about the officer, denying asking him to destroy the tickets.

Local man to stand trial for robbery
A Mission Bay man has been ordered to stand trial for allegedly robbing two Pacific Beach banks in 2010 that are linked to him via DNA in a hat he left behind.
A June 13 trial date was set for Bryan Whaley Leasure, 50, who pleaded not guilty to the charges following a preliminary hearing in San Diego Superior Court. He was arrested Jan. 16.
Leasure's DNA is on file because he was convicted of five robberies in federal court in Arizona in 2000. That means Leasure could get 25 years for each bank robbery as part of the "third strike" law.
Two tellers who were robbed identified Leasure in court as the man who robbed them. A Bank of America branch and a Wells Fargo branch in Pacific Beach were robbed on July 12, 2010 and Aug. 13, 2010.
Leasure remains in custody on $150,000 bail.
— Neal Putnam PB bank robber gets one-year sentence
A robber who held up a Pacific Beach bank on New Year's Eve has been sentenced to one year in jail and his projected release date is May 31, according to the sheriff's officials.
James Arthur McWatters, 36, of San Diego, received credit for serving 44 days in jail on Feb. 14. The sheriff's department has discretion to release inmates after they serve half their sentence.
San Diego Superior Court Judge Frederick Maguirre placed McWatters on three years' probation and fined him over $500.
McWatters held up a Wells Fargo Bank branch that was inside the Ralph's grocery store at 4315 Mission Blvd. It occurred at 12:30 p.m. and he made off with $3,200 in cash.
"Nobody was hurt, fortunately," said Maguirre, who told McWatters he was lucky the case was not prosecuted in federal court, which could result in a longer sentence.
McWatters pleaded guilty just 15 days after the robbery, and a charge of making a criminal threat was dropped. He was arrested Jan. 1 in Oceanside.

A lot of people are sick of the money-grubbing spat between Time Warner Cable and CBS, which has resulted in CBS, Showtime and other channels being unavailable to the cable company's subscribers since Aug. 2.
For Alan Ehrlich, this was the last straw. He decided to cut the cable cord.
More and more people are doing the same. The U.S. pay-TV industry lost about 316,000 subscribers in the 12-month period that ended June 30, according to Moffett Research.
"Cord cutting used to be an urban myth," said analyst Craig Moffett. "It isn't anymore."
But many people still may view cutting off cable or satellite as a radical step, just as setting up a high-definition antenna to watch free, over-the-air signals may seem like the kind of thing only a bona fide techno-geek can pull off.
Ehrlich, 49, of South Pasadena, told me he's not the most technologically savvy person you'll ever meet. He placed his level of technical competence at being able to get the VCR to stop flashing "12:00" over and over.
"I've heard stories of people cord-cutting," Ehrlich said. "I always wondered how hard it was, or if I would miss cable."
When CBS-owned channels were pulled from Time Warner Cable because the two companies couldn't agree on how much money should change hands, he decided he'd had enough. He contacted Time Warner and canceled his TV subscription.
Ehrlich had been paying roughly $95 a month for TV and Internet access. He kept the Internet portion of his service, which runs about $58 monthly, but he can certainly do better.
Time Warner offers lower Internet-only rates, such as its "Essentials" service that current customers can get for $27 a month. AT&T offers high-speed Net access for as little as $15 a month. Verizon offers Net access starting at $20 monthly.
But these are bargain-basement plans. To handle video streams, you'd want something with more digital oomph, which would cost more. Time Warner's recommended plan for streaming videos will run you $55 a month.
After canceling his TV service, Ehrlich went straight to Best Buy and bought an RCA high-definition antenna for around $30.
"Hooking it up to the TV was easy," he said. "Any 5-year-old could do it."
The HD antenna allows Ehrlich to receive all the usual local channels, plus a bunch of additional channels broadcast digitally by local stations that he couldn't receive with cable. These give him mostly older shows and movies.
There are also a number of foreign-language channels, including Spanish, Korean and Japanese offerings. The Home Shopping Network is available. So is QVC, Ion Television and some religious channels.
Many cord-cutters use a Blu-ray player or a game console such as the Xbox or PlayStation to access Netflix, Hulu and other online entertainment services. Ehrlich has a "smart TV" capable of receiving a signal from his Wi-Fi Internet router.
He signed up for Amazon Prime to watch movies and recent TV shows. That costs him about $7 a month. He watches "The Daily Show" for free on Comedy Central's site. He can watch "Breaking Bad" on AMC's site.
Ehrlich may have to wait a little longer than cable subscribers to catch episodes of some of his favorite shows, but he doesn't particularly care. In the long run, it's all the same.
"The programs I'm interested in, I'm watching," Ehrlich said.
His only complaint was that Time Warner Cable kept billing him for TV service even after he canceled his subscription. A company spokesman, Dennis Johnson, told me a mistake had been made. He said Ehrlich would be credited $30 for the overcharge.
I asked Ehrlich whether he had any regrets about joining the ranks of cord-cutters. Does he miss all those cable channels?
"Absolutely not," he answered without hesitation. "The best way to send a message to companies like Time Warner and CBS is to take the plunge."
He's got a point.
CVS privacy
I wrote last week about CVS Caremark requiring people to forgo federal privacy protections if they want rewards for prescription-drug purchases. This caused quite a stir among customers, not to mention among CVS executives.
The company sent talking points to its store managers and pharmacists nationwide "to address any customer concerns" they may encounter as a result of the column.
"Contrary to recent coverage in the Los Angeles Times, we do not 'redisclose' patients' personal information," the memo emphasized.
I didn't pull the possibility out of the air. As I reported, CVS' enrollment process for its ExtraCare Pharmacy & Health Rewards program includes a warning that "my health information may potentially be re-disclosed and thus is no longer protected by the federal Privacy Rule."
I had asked a CVS spokesman, Mike DeAngelis, to elaborate on this, and he declined to comment. I raised the question once again this week in light of the company's talking points.
"The 'redisclose' statement is required as part of the HIPAA privacy rule," he replied. "As we stated to you, we do not share patients' personal info."
HIPAA, the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, "gives you rights over your health information and sets rules and limits on who can look at and receive your health information," according to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
The importance of the law is highlighted by the fact that it requires a drugstore or hospital to warn people that, if they waive their HIPAA rights, their confidential medical information might be shared with others.
Without the law's protections, you have only a business' word that it isn't hawking your info to the highest bidder. If that's good enough for you, then you have nothing to worry about.

Last year this day became even more significant to me when I learned exactly where my grandfathers were on November 11, 1918. I share here the stories of three Veterans closest to me. Many of our loved ones have served. Please feel free to leave a comment and share your remembrances with us. If you have pictures you would like to have posted as well, please let me know.
My father tells me that in November, 1918, Osborne was training at Parris Island in the Navy, preparing to be shipped to war. For some reason Osborne spent the night of November 10 in Port Royal. He learned early the next morning of the Armistice. He also learned that the phone lines were down to Parris Island. As my dad tells it, my granddaddy rushed across the bridge and was the first one to proclaim the good news to his comrades.
Osborne Reed is the young man to the left. This snapshot was taken at Parris Island.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Oswell Boyce McLeod, my maternal grandfather, was drafted into the Army in 1917. He had graduated from the University of South Carolina and was teaching school. In her letters, his mother Ellen Irene Jones McLeod begged him to try to get a deferment for health reasons.
She had lost her youngest son Aubrey (pictured to the right) on April 28, 1917 to the flu epidemic. He had been in the Army, too.
An excerpt from one of her letters (edited for clarity) dated May 9, 1917:
"I hope you won't be called off in the war, Boyce . . . A blank came here for you to fill out yesterday, and mama has been scared ever since, afraid you would have to go to the war. So you see your Dr. and try to get every thing right if you are called on so you want have to go. Boyce, you can say you can't work one day long on your feet. The only way you can work to support your self is to sit down an teach school about half of your time. You have been operated on twice an will have to have another operation at any time.
"Boyce, Lemot Bains got out of going to the war on account of his health, and he can plow. You know you could not work one day in the field.
"Boyce, do see your Doctor and do everything in your power that can be done. Dear Boyce, write soon. . . Do attend to this at once. Go see your Dr at once. Don't wait for tomorrow. Do it at once."
As required, Boyce registered with the draft on June 5, 1917. In October, he received this card from the War Department.
Here is a closeup of the orders (click to enlarge):
While he was in Columbia, he married Miss Mary Clifton Duke from Blythewood, South Carolina, on February 16, 1918. By July, Boyce was on his way to France.
This is a postcard Boyce sent to Mary when he was on his way to Europe. (Click to enlarge.)
Boyce was a PFC in the 318th Machine Gun Battalion of the 81st National Army Division. On November 10, the 81st Division heard rumors of an armistice, but had no confirmation. On the morning of the eleventh, the battle continued. Orders came for cease-fire at 11:00 AM sharp. Suddenly, all firing stopped. Granddaddy spoke in years later of the silence that morning - eerie and glorious at the same time. The war was over!
The 81st stayed in the area until they returned home in June 1919. Granddaddy even had opportunity to teach in France.

Certainly no armed forces holiday passes without remembrance of the service to our country of my own brother John.
John Osborne Reed, III, was the oldest son of Joe and Mary Duke Reed. He enlisted in the U. S. Navy in 1966 during the height of the VietNam War. He was in VietNam in 1967-68. His Navy tour ended in 1970. While in Nam, John was drenched twice with Agent Orange on the LST where he served carrying supplies up and down the river.
|John in VietNam
After discharge from the Navy, John returned to the University of South Carolina, married, and had two children. He was a masterful carpenter, and his lifelong favorite pastime was his beloved fishing.
John battled the ill effects of Agent Orange for the rest of his life. He lost that battle on June 3, 2004, when he died of lung cancer directly linked to his exposure to Agent Orange. He is buried in Beaufort National Cemetery in Beaufort, South Carolina.

Hard to believe, but I'm on my final road trip of the great book adventure. Right now I'm connecting for a flight to...where? I could tell you, but then I'd have to...do something that would be politically incorrect to say in this moment of national nervous breakdown. Why not follow me on Twitter, where (barring glitches) I hope to do some live coverage tomorrow of what should be a fascinating political event (and also write about it for the dead-tree Daily News on Monday.)
Meanwhile, you're in charge of Attytood this weekend. And to inspire you, I'll send a free signed copy of our socialist re-education program -- also known as my book "Tear Down This Myth" -- to the two best comments this weekend, probably one liberal and conservative (although I don't want to discriminate against any centrists...or anarchists). So put on your thinking cap and fire away..

text: Latest Analysis News Assange on surrendering himself to the US: "I'm not an idiot" Julian Assange assures the world he is not about to make any rash or ill planed decision in the wake of the Manning clemency. Published 2 years ago on January 25, 2017 By Adam 1,011 Views Share Tweet Julian Assange continues to clarify his remarks on his misunderstood 'quid-pro-quo' where he stated that he would accept extradition to the US in exchange for former President Obama granting clemency to Bradley/Chelsea Manning. Now, Assange has stated that he is willing to engage with the US Department of Justice to see if a meaningful, safe and just agreement of some kind can be reached. But crucially, Assange is not going to throw his life to the dogs. Assange said the following in an interview with Australia's Channel 10, "It's better to engage with the US case, have a discussion with the DoJ, what are you doing with this case, are you going to keep it going, am I going to have to stay in the embassy forever, or is there some way that you guys can drop it, or can we look at under what circumstances I would be extradited to the United States". Assange continued, "Saying I'm willing to accept extradition doesn't mean I'm saying that I'm willing to be a complete idiot and throw all my lawyers away and so on". Indeed, I personally wouldn't want Assange to be an idiot and walk out of the Embassy into a cloud of mystery or worse violence. Julian Assange is an asset to world peace. Wikileaks' publications have done more to change the world than any revelations from many publishers in modern history. On the whole, by exposing corruption and deceit in the name of war, the revelations have helped change hearts and minds, which has changed the world for the better. Assange should not make any rash decisions unless and until he is confident that he will be safe and treated justly. The ideal situation would be for Trump's Department of Justice to allow him safe passage to a safe country willing to grant him asylum. Ecuador is the obvious option though one shouldn't discount Venezuela or Russia. The sad saga of Assange's captivity in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London is far from over. Liked it?

Published 21 hours ago on September 24, 2018 By Seraphim Hanisch The Washington Times broke the story that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein resigned from his post. He submitted his resignation to Chief of Staff John Kelly. At present the breaking story says the following: Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is out at the Department of Justice. Axios reported that Mr. Rosenstein verbally resigned to White House Chief Of Staff John Kelly, but CNN said that he is expecting to be fired. Sarah Isgur Flores, a Department of Justice spokeswoman, declined to comment on the reports. Mr. Rosenstein's departure immediately throws Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russian collusion probe into chaos. Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself from the investigation, leaving Mr. Rosenstein in charge. President Trump mulled firing the No. 2 at the Department of Justice over the weekend. CLICK HERE to Support The Duran >> This report came after Fox News reported that the Deputy AG was summoned to the White House. Fox reported a little more detail: Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is heading to the White House expecting to be fired, sources tell Fox News, in the wake of a report that he suggested wearing a wire against President Trump and invoking the 25th Amendment to remove him from office last year. This is a developing story, however one major factor that comes under consideration is the fate of Robert Mueller and his Russiagate investigation, which was authorized by Rosenstein. CNBC had this to say in their piece: Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is resigning Monday, according to Axios, which cited a source familiar with the matter. NBC News' Pete Williams, however, reported that Rosenstein would not resign of his own accord, and that he will only depart if the White House fired him. He will refuse to resign if asked to do so, Williams added. Rosenstein was at the White House when Williams reported this on the air. However, President Donald Trump is in New York for the United Nations General Assembly. Bloomberg later reported that the White House accepted Rosenstein's resignation, citing a person familiar with the matter. Rosenstein's expected resignation will immediately raise questions about the fate of the ongoing investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller, who is probing Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, and possible obstruction of justice by President Donald Trump. Rosenstein's job security was called into question after The New York Times reported last week that the No. 2 DOJ official had discussed invoking the 25th amendment to remove Trump, and had also talked about surreptitiously recording the president. Rosenstein oversees the special counsel investigation, and has appointed Mueller to run the Russia probe last year, after Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself from the case. The special counsel's office declined to comment on the report. The White House did not immediately respond to CNBC's request for comment on Axios' report. The Justice Department did not immediately respond to CNBC's inquiry. Trump has repeatedly blasted Mueller's inquiry, which also is focused on possible collusion with Russia by members of the Trump campaign. He has called the investigation a "witch hunt," and has repeatedly vented frustration about Sessions' recusal, which directly led to Mueller's appointment by Rosenstein. Rosenstein's expected departure comes on the heels of a guilty plea by Trump's former campaign manager Paul Manafort to conspiracy charges related to his consulting work in Ukraine, which predates his role on the campaign. As part of the investigation, Mueller's team has been locked in an ongoing back-and-forth with Trump's legal team over an in-person interview with the president. Trump's lawyers, including former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, have signaled that Trump is unwilling to sit for an interview, calling it a "perjury trap" and setting up a potential challenge for Mueller to subpoena the president.

Published 21 hours ago on September 24, 2018 By Alex Christoforou UK Prime Minister Theresa May hoped that the European Council was ready to see things her way, in terms of proceeding with a soft Brexit, which was essentially no Brexit at all…at least not the hard Brexit that was voted on in a democratic referendum approximately two years ago. Much to May's surprise, European Council President Donald Tusk delivered a death blow verdict for May's Brexit, noting that EU leaders are in full agreement that Chequers plan for Brexit "will not work" because "it risks undermining the single market." Without a miracle compromise springing up come during the October summit, the UK will drift into the March 29, 2019 deadline without a deal and out of the European Union…which was initially what was voted for way back in 2016, leaving everyone asking, what the hell was May doing wasting Britain's time and resources for two years, so as to return back to the hard Brexit terms she was charged with carrying forward after the 2016 referendum? European Council President Donald Tusk says EU leaders agree Theresa May's Chequers plan for #Brexit "will not work" because "it risks undermining the single market" https://t.co/UpHoAK94GG pic.twitter.com/H5FPZPUNN9 — BBC Breaking News (@BBCBreaking) September 20, 2018 The Duran's Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris discuss what was a disastrous EU summit in Salzburg for UK PM Theresa May, in what looks to be the final nail in May's tenure as UK Prime Minister, as a hard Brexit now seems all but certain. Remember to Please Subscribe to The Duran's YouTube Channel Via Zerohedge… Tusk was speaking at the end of an EU summit in Salzburg, where the leaders of the 27 remaining states in the bloc were discussing Brexit. He said that while there were "positive elements" in May's Chequers plan, a deal that puts the single market at risk cannot be accepted. "Everybody shared the view that while there are positive elements in the Chequers proposal, the suggested framework for economic co-operation will not work, not least because it is undermining the single market," Tusk said. He also said that he could not "exclude" the possibility that the UK could exit the EU in March with no deal. May has been urging her European counterparts to accept her controversial Chequers plan which has split both the Conservative party and the broader UK population after it was thrashed out back in July. However, despite the painfully-slow negotiation process, which appears to have made little headway with just a few months left, the UK is set to leave the EU on March 29 2019 – with or without an exit deal. The main sticking point that has emerged, and left May and the EU at loggerheads, has been how to avoid new checks on the Irish border. May has claimed that her proposals were the "only serious, credible" way to avoid a hard border in Northern Ireland. She said during a press conference after the Salzburg meeting that she would not accept the EU's "backstop" plan to avoid a Northern Ireland hard border. She said the UK would shortly be bringing forward its own proposals. May also said that there was "a lot of hard work to be done," adding that the UK was also preparing for the eventuality of having to leave the EU without a deal. Tusk, meanwhile, said that the upcoming October summit would be the "moment of truth" for reaching a deal, and that "if the conditions are there" another summit would be held in November to "formalize" it.

Continue Reading Latest Russia makes HUGE strides in drone technology Published 23 hours ago on September 24, 2018 By Andrei Akulov The US and Israel are universally recognized leaders in the development and use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones. Thousands of American and Israeli UAVs are operating across the world daily. The US military has recently successfully tested an air-to-air missile to turn its MQ-9 Reaper drone into an effective long-endurance, high-altitude surveillance unmanned spy aircraft capable of air-to-surface as well as air-to-air missions. This is a major breakthrough. It's not a secret that Russia has been lagging behind in UAV development. Now its seems to be going to change with tangible progress made to narrow the gap. Very few nations boast drones capable of high-altitude long endurance (HALE) missions. Russia is to enter the club of the chosen. In late 2017, the Russian Defense Ministry awarded a HALE UAV contract to the Kazan-based Simonov design bureau. This month, Russian Zvezda military news TV channel showed a video (below) of Altair (Altius) heavy drone prototype aircraft number "03", going through its first flight test. Propelled by two RED A03/V12 500hp high fuel efficiency diesel engines, each producing a capacity of 500 hp on takeoff, the 5-ton heavy vehicle with a wingspan of 28.5 meters boasts a maximum altitude of 12km and a range of 10,000km at a cruising speed of 150-250km/h. Wingspan: about 30 meters. Maximum speed: up to 950 km/h. Flight endurance: 48 hours. Payload: two tons, which allows the creation of a strike version. The vehicle is able to autonomously take off and land or be guided by an operator from the ground. The UAV can carry the usual range of optical and thermal sensors as well as synthetic-aperture ground-surveillance radar with the resolution of .1 meter at the range of 35km and 1 meter at the range of 125km. The communications equipment allows real-time data exchange. Russia's UAV program currently underway includes the development of a range of large, small, and mid-sized drones. The Orion-E medium altitude long endurance (MALE) UAV was unveiled at the MAKS 2017 air show. Its developer, Kronstadt Technologies, claims it could be modified for strike missions. The one-ton drone is going through testing now. The Orion-E is capable of automatic takeoff and landing. It can fly continuously for 24 hours, carrying a surveillance payload of up to 200 kg to include a forward looking infra-red (FLIR) turret, synthetic aperture radar and high resolution cameras. The drone can reach a maximum altitude of 7,500 m. Its range is 250 km. The Sukhoi design bureau is currently developing the Okhotnik (Hunter) strike drone with a range of about 3,500km. The drone made its maiden flight this year. In its current capacity, it has an anti-radar coating, and will store missiles and precision-guided bombs internally to avoid radar detection. The Kazan-based Eniks Design Bureau is working on the small T-16 weaponized aerial vehicle able to carry 6 kg of payload. The new Russian Korsar (Corsair) tactical surveillance unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) will be upgraded to receive an electronic warfare system. Its operational range will be increased from 150km to 250km. The drone was revealed at Victory Day military parade along with the Korsar unmanned combat helicopter version. The rotary wing drone lacks the speed and altitude of the fixed wing variant, but has a great advantage of being able to operate without landing strips and can be sea-based. Both drones can carry guided and unguided munitions. The fixed-wing version can be armed with Ataka 9M120 missiles. The first Russian helicopter-type unmanned aerial vehicle powered by hydrogen fuel cells was presented at the Army-2018 international forum. With the horizontal cruising speed of the drone up to 60 kph, the unmanned chopper can stay in the air at least 2.5 hours to conduct reconnaissance operations. Its payload is up to 5 kg. Last November, the Kalashnikov Concern reported that it would start production of heavy unmanned aerial vehicles capable of carrying up to several tons of cargo and operating for several days at a time without needing to recharge. All in all, the Russian military operate 1,900 drones on a daily basis. The multi-purpose Orlan-10 with a range of 600km has become a working horse that no military operation, including combat actions in Syria, can be conducted without. Maj. Gen. Alexander Novikov, the head of the Russian General Staff's Office for UAV Development, Russian drones performed over 23,000 flights, lasting 140,000 hours in total. Russia's State Armament Program for 2018-2027 puts the creation of armed UAVs at the top of priorities' list. Looks like the effort begins to pay off. Russia is well on the way to become second to none in UAV capability. CLICK HERE to Support The Duran >> Via Strategic Culture Liked it? Take a second to support The Duran on Patreon!

Hey Hey,
Recently I've been more and more interested in OS Detection...
Years ago I toyed with ICMP-based OS Detection, and put my work into a small bash script that could detect major operating systems with a small number of ICMP packets (something I may implement again, this time as a python script)...
Anyways... I follow most of the OS Detection software out there.. p0f, xprobe, SinFP, nmap, etc... and I've always been a fan of nmap... I tried SinFP when it was first released and I wasn't impressed... However, after a blog post mentioning this Gomor, the author of SinFP, sent me an email asking me to test the latest version... I did some minor testing and was partially pleased with the results... I still thought nmap outperformed it in places.. This lead to some discussions and I did a more thorough test between nmap 4.03 (first gen nmap fingerprinting), nmap 4.20 (second gen nmap fingerprinting), and SinFP 2.x...
I've been in contact with both Gomor and Fyodor regarding these tests (both before and after performing them, and the scans were performed with their recommendations for best results)... I've also submitted a plethora of fingerprints to both of them as a result.
It was impressive to see.. Second Gen nmap OS Detection will be fairly impressive, once the database grows... Already I've seen some nice features (XP SP2, it actually reported that the Firewall was disabled, for example)..
I also found that from a non-technical standpoint nmap 4.03 outperformed SinFP... For example. SinFP detects XP SP2 as Windows 2000 or Windows XP, while nmap 4.03 detected it as Windows Server 2003 or XP SP2... Now from a service available, usability and general "exploits available"... I find that XP SP2 is usually more in line with Server 2003 than it is with 2000... So for that reason, why XP and 2000 may have a more similar TCP Stack... I find the nmap comparison more useful.
That being said SinFP currently (due to databases) outperforms nmap 4.20... I expect to see this change shortly

The Associated Press reports a federal judge sentenced former major league pitcher Jerry Koosman to six months in prison Thursday, Sept. 3, for not paying his taxes. Prosecutors say Koosman, a former All-Star who helped the New York Mets win the 1969 World Series, didn't pay federal income taxes for 2002, 2003 and 2004. He pleaded guilty in May to willfully failing to file taxes for 2002, a misdemeanor, in a deal with prosecutors.

NEW YORK -- A scripted feature about life in Laos and documentaries about U.S. war crimes and a town in the grip of a debilitating drug addiction were among the big winners at the Tribeca Film Festival's jury prizes Thursday night.
"The Rocket," the Australian Kim Mordaunt's tale of a displaced 10-year-old boy who must find a new home in the tribal mountains of Laos after his house is destroyed to make way for a dam, won best narrative feature. Sitthiphon Disamoe, a nonprofessional actor who played the lead role, was awarded the best actor prize. Mordaunt accepted it on Disamoe's behalf.
The narrative jury, which included the actress Blythe Danner and the filmmaker Paul Haggis, noted in its announcement that the film was "artfully structured and gorgeously shot ... chronicl[ing] the struggles of a displaced family while steering well clear of either sentimentality or despair." The film, making its U.S. premiere, won best first debut feature at the Berlin Film Festival earlier this year.
Best actress in the narrative section went to Veerle Baetens, who in Felix van Groeningen's Dutch-Belgian co-production "The Broken Circle Breakdown" played a free spirit felled by tragedy in a movie about a bluegrass band. Screenwriters Carl Joos and Van Groeningen also won the best screenplay competition. Baetens appeared via a video link saying she "didn't even know she was in the running for the awards."
The narrative jury handed the best director prize to Emanuel Hoss-Desmarais, for "Whitewash," a dark comedy about a struggling Canadian man starring Thomas Haden Church.
The jury awarded the best cinematography prize to Marius Matzow Gulbrandsen, for his work in "Before Snowfall," Hisham Zaman's coming-of-age tale about a Kurdish teenager who sets off for Istanbul on an honor-killing mission; the globetrotting landscape features scenes in Turkey, Iraq and Norway.
And earning a special jury mention in the narrative section was Sam Fleischner's "Stand Clear of the Closing Doors," about a boy lost on the New York City subway in the days leading up to Superstorm Sandy.
On the nonfiction side, Dan Krauss' U.S. military tale "The Kill Team" won best documentary. The film, which has received strong reviews at the festival, examines a unit's alleged war crimes against civilians in Afghanistan.
In accepting the prize, Krauss did not delve into the troubling issues of his film, instead saying simply that the prize was "one massive cherry on a really good sundae."

Meanwhile, Sean Dunne's "Oxyana," about a West Virginia town whose inhabitants are coping with the effects of an OxyContin addiction, earned a special jury mention as well as best new documentary director for Dunne.
Tribeca organizers handed out the awards at a ceremony in a Manhattan hotel. In announcing the narrative prizes, Haggis noted that "There was blood on the floor of the jury room" as jurors debated the winners.
Audience awards will be announced this weekend at Tribeca, which wraps its 12-day run on Sunday with screenings of all the winning films.
The Internet cats movie "Lil Bub and Friendz" was named best feature film in the online festival, while "A Short Film About Guns" won the online festival's best short award.
