How to remove Mystart.myoivu.com Browser Hijacker
What is Mystart.myoivu.com:
Threat Classification: Browser Hijacker
Mystart.myoivu.com is classified as a browser hijacker, that could infiltrate systems silently and without user's consent. Most likely it is set by some OIVU adware, installed on your system by some "software bundle". Once active it modifies browser settings and get stuck as home page/default search engine. This hijacker will re-route the entire search traffic thru some 3rd party search engines, owned by advertising agencies. It is distributed using various methods, including the "bundling" method, which allows it to get installed together with other regular, legitimate software applications. This is considered a misleading technique, which allows installation of software that is neither wanted nor required by the user. Once the browser is infected, and the user performs a search, he will be redirected to http://Mystart.myoivu.com, where the search results will be compromised and loaded with spam and third-party advertising.
Usually, Mystart.myoivu.com comes packed with some other free software and is being installed by default when the user accepts the EULA while performing an express/recommended installation.

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — Burning rubber from a warehouse fire at the Port of Savannah sent up a towering column of black smoke that could be seen from miles away.
Firefighters are working Saturday to contain and extinguish the blaze that erupted at the port's Ocean Terminal not far from downtown Savannah. The cause of the fire wasn't immediately known.
A Georgia Ports Authority spokesman says all port workers were accounted for and unharmed.
Police say thick, black smoke from the flames shrouded some streets west of downtown Savannah and slowed traffic on the Talmadge Bridge that spans the Savannah River to South Carolina.
The Port of Savannah is the nation's fourth-busiest seaport for container cargo.

Trademark Searching Using TESS and Other Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I search for registered and pending USPTO trademarks?
At TESS: Trademark Electronic Search System (http://tess2.uspto.gov/). TESS is for searching all pending and registered USPTO Trademarks and viewing Trademark images.
There are three choices available for searching: Basic Word Mark Search (New User) | Word and/or Design Mark Search (Structured) | Word and/or Design Mark Search (Free Form) | . If you are not familiar with the system, you may want to start on a Basic Word Mark Search. See TESS page below for the 'Select a Search Option '. See Published for Opposition search instructions for specific search instructions on how to use TESS for searching for marks that have been published for opposition.
What is in TESS? The Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS) contains the records of active (LIVE) and inactive (DEAD) trademark registrations and applications for both the Principal Register and the Supplemental Register. Active or LIVE marks may be used by the USPTO examining attorney to determine that a "likelihood of confusion" exists. Inactive or DEAD marks may still be in use by the original applicants who may have not registered or renewed their marks or the marks may be abandoned.
Whether or not a likelihood of confusion exists is dependent on the goods/services identifications, a good search followed by a good strategic identification of goods/services may avoid a likelihood of confusion refusal. Direct hit or dead-
Whether or not a likelihood of confusion exists is dependent on the goods/services identifications, a good search followed by a good strategic identification of goods/services may avoid a likelihood of confusion refusal. Direct hit or dead-
What is NOT in TESS? Common Law Trademarks. Some trademark owners with valid and protected trademark rights (common law rights acquired by use) do not choose to register their marks with the USPTO, so those marks will not be found in TESS. However, you should still consider these other marks when adopting a mark for your goods and/or services. If a trademark is being used in the United States, the owner may have legally protected rights that are not the result of the USPTO registration process.
To maximize the commercial strength and minimize the weaknesses of a trademark, Not Just Patents ® recommends using our Trademark E Search.
Why should I perform a search? One purpose of a trademark search is to help determine whether a "likelihood of confusion" exists, i.e., whether any mark has already been registered or applied for at the USPTO that is (1) the same OR similar to your mark; and (2) used on related products or for related services. Note that the identical mark could possibly be registered to different parties if the goods and/or services are in no way related, e.g., for computers and soft drinks. Note: The USPTO does not refund your application fee if registration of your mark is refused. Many product launches run into severe problems when trademarks are refused for likelihood of confusion, mere descriptiveness or for other reasons: gambling on results may not be a great strategy. Commercial strength and the ability to do well on a search engine search are vital aspects of a trademark strength. Not Just Patents ® recommends using our Trademark E Search rather than just doing a quick search on TESS. But a quick search on TESS is a good place to start. Beware that TESS is a very literal search engine and relies on the skill of the searcher to know how to search beyond direct hits and search for similarity.
Will my mark register if I do not find anything in TESS? No, not necessarily. USPTO trademark examiners (attorneys) make decisions on whether marks may be registered on more than just a lack of "likelihood of confusion." After you file your application, the USPTO will conduct its own search and other review, and might refuse your mark, based on several different possible grounds for refusal. Once you submit your application, the USPTO will not cancel the filing or refund your fee, unless the application fails to satisfy minimum filing requirements.
Filing an application does not guarantee registration and registration does not guarantee safety from lawsuits or other legal proceedings since a USPTO registration is only based on conflicts with other USPTO marks not with conflicts with common law marks. Statistically few trademarks are canceled each year and the number of cancellation proceedings on registered marks is quite low.
How should I search? The following are search principles that USPTO examiners use when searching to see if new applications will have a likelihood of confusion with already pending or registered marks. Note that this search method goes well beyond direct hit searching. Note that searching just TESS will not reveal if there are unregistered trademark owners using any particular mark and that these principles are employed by trademark examiners that are already familiar with trademark law and the meanings of terms such as "distinctive element" and "legal equivalent."
[Trademark] Search Principles [TESS or other databases]
(From the USPTO at http://tess2.uspto.gov/webaka/html/help#FreqAske)
Following are the likelihood of confusion search principles used by the USPTO that you may want to consider prior to submitting a trademark application. You must decide which of these search principles may be appropriate for your trademark search. Even if you diligently follow all these search principles, that does not necessarily guarantee that you will find all potential citations under Section 2(d) of the Trademark Act.
U.S. Acceptable Identification of Goods and Services Manual (ID Manual)
When the electronic ID Manual opens, the Search selection box shows the All Fields search field as the default field. You can use the selection arrow to choose a specific field in which to conduct your search. If you do not make a selection, the All Fields search field will be automatically selected as the search field.
ALL FIELDS searches for all goods and services in which the search term appears. ALL FIELDS permits you to build search queries that access the other available search fields. By tagging search terms with the appropriate field tag and utilizing Boolean Operators, you are able to search across multiple fields when using the ALL FIELDS selection.
Descriptive term: A query for a word will retrieve all records containing that word.
For example, a search for dog will retrieve all records containing dog or dogs
Class numbers: A query for a class number retrieves all goods and services in that class.
For example, a query for "012" retrieves all goods in class 12. Note: class must be entered in three (3) digits and should be enclosed in double quotes. If you enter a descriptive term – such as golf and "012" (for the class), it will find goods in International Class 12 in which golf is a part of the identification.
In ALL FIELDS, you may conduct a more complex search by entering the appropriate search terms, field tags, and Boolean operators.
For example, a query for (automobile[DE] and s[GS]) not 037[IC] retrieves all services concerning automobiles other than the repair-
The system automatically searches for the plural or singular form of the search term. A possessive is treated as a plural form.
A query for dog retrieves all records containing dog and dogs. A query for dogs finds all records containing dogs and dog.
A query for glass finds all records containing glass and glasses. A query for glasses finds all records containing glasses and glass.
The system also searches for special plural forms such as knives and mice. The rules are the same as those applied in the X-
GOODS/SERVICES (G/S) allows a search for the type of entry, e.g., goods or services by using S or G.
For example, a query for S retrieves all services.
A query for G retrieves all goods.
CLASS searches for all goods in a particular International Class.
The class number must be entered as three digits enclosed in double quotes, e.g., "007".
DESCRIPTION searches for goods and services containing the searched term(s).
For example, a query for computer retrieves all goods and services containing computer or computers.
A query for computer and program retrieves all goods and services containing computer(s) and program(s).
STATUS (A/D/M) searches for an entry that has been ADOPTED, DELETED, or MODIFIED, respectively.
DATE (YYYYMMDD) searches for an entry that has been adopted, deleted, or modified on a particular date. A specific date must be entered.
AND, &, space
The AND operator may be a single space, the ampersand (&), or the word 'and'. For example, the three queries below would find the same information:
Golf Clubs
Golf & Clubs
Golf and Clubs
The AND, &, or space query operators require that both words on either side of the operator appear in the same record. If only one of the words is found in a record, the record is not a hit. For example, a query for Golf and Clubs finds all records which contains both Golf(s) and Club(s). If a record contains Golf(s) but not Club(s), then the record is not a hit. Similarly, if a record contains Club(s) but not Golf(s), then the record is not a hit.
The only OR operator is the word or.
The OR query operator requires that at least one of the words on either side of the operator appears in a record.
For example, a query for Golf or Clubs finds all records which contain Golf(s) or which contain Club(s) or which contain both Golf(s) and Club(s). If a record contains neither Golf(s) or Club(s), then the record is not a hit.
The NOT operator is the word not. The caret (^) is not functional in this application.
The NOT operator may be used between two words. This will find all records containing the first word but which do not contain the second. For example, a query for Golf not Clubs finds all records which contain Golf(s) and which do not contain Club(s).
The NOT operator excludes records containing the word following the operator. It requires that the word following the operator not be in a record for that record to be counted as a hit.
For example, a query for not Golf finds all records which do not have Golf. If a record contains Golf, then the record is not a hit.
A query for Golf not Clubs retrieves all records containing golf or golfs, but not clubs.
A query for Golf not "028" retrieves all records in which the word golf or golfs appear, except for those in International Class 28.
XOR (Exclusive Or)
The XOR (exclusive or) operator is the letter xor. The tilde (~) is not operational.
The XOR requires that one of the words on either side of the operator appears in a record, but not both.
For example, Golf xor Clubs finds all records which contain Golf(s) but not Club(s) or which contain Club(s) but not Golf(s). If a record contains both Golf(s) and Club(s), then the record is not a hit.
Submit Query Button
Initiates the search of the query item.
Can also be initiated by pressing Enter.
Refine Search
When the initial search retrieves a hit list, a box above the hit list allows you to refine your search. The initial query is displayed in the box and this can either be changed or deleted to initiate a new query. Contrary to the implication of its name, the resultant search is conducted in the entire database and not just within the prior results.
Reset Button
Clears the query field.
The system uses the BRS search engine dollar sign $ for an unlimited number of additional characters truncation search.
For example, a query for flo$ will retrieve flower, flowers, floor, flow, etc.
What is Verifying a Trademark and Why Verify a Trademark? There are many different definitions for verifying a trademark. Some believe that it involves a mechanical quick search of USPTO records to look for direct hits (some call this a clearance search). Some would expand the mechanical USPTO search to look for some 'similar' trademarks. Some would expand the search to include common law trademarks. When the clearance process is entirely mechanical and only looks for direct hits, minimal information is obtained. There are lots of questions that should be asked and more than direct hits should be analyzed.

|This article provides information on "A Windows® 2003 Server with an LSI2032 U320 SCSI add-in controller may not discover the medium changer of an attached PowerVault 124T. This article provides a workaround."
The following are the links for the LSI20320 U320 driver:
This issue is attributed to a Windows STORPORT driver device inquiry problem with some legacy multi-LUN targets.
This issue affects the ability to use the PowerVault 124T VS160 with the Windows 2003 Removable Storage Manager and NTBackup.
Furthermore, this issue can affect other backup applications that require a medium changer listing within Windows Device Manager.
A similar issue exist under Microsoft® Windows® 2008, in which the medium changer is not listed within the Device Manager.
However, under Microsoft® Windows® 2008 most backup applications can discover and use the PowerVault 124T VS160 medium changer and drive.

A recurring theme at the performance management conference was the importance of awards in improving both individual and organizational performance. Three presenters shared the various ways their particular organizations used employee involvement to improve their awards programs and support improved performance.
Jack McAndrews, Director of Personnel at the Tobyhanna Army Depot, Pennsylvania, explained how employee involvement shaped the redesign of their awards program. The Depot's Labor Management Partnership Council, comprised of union representatives, managers, and employees, surveyed employee attitudes about the awards program. The council found that employees viewed the program as unfair and not supportive of the Depot's business and strategic plans. Based on the survey results, the Partnership Council linked rewards to organizational performance by eliminating rewards based on performance ratings and instituting a variety of special act and teamwork awards. Now all employees have a vested interest in the Depot's success, and notable productivity gains have been achieved.
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) also surveyed employees before revamping its awards program. Steve Oldham, Organizational Development Specialist at FHWA Region 3, described the Red Tool Box Award, one of various awards used by FHWA that resulted from an idea generated by the employee survey. A big red tool box filled with items of nominal value, such as, mugs, caps, and portfolios with the Region 3 logo, is placed in senior managers' offices. Both managers and peers can give these items to recognize achievements that are not substantial enough for cash or time-off awards. This type of informal recognition works well for FHWA Region 3. Managers are more inclined to give awards and employees are recognized immediately following a contribution, drawing a demonstrable link between performance and the receipt of an award. This form of recognition has worked so well that FHWA is ready to go out again with another survey to gather fresh ideas from its employees.
Using employee involvement in awards program design helps assure that the program will be tailored to meet organizational needs and will reflect agency cultures. Ken Aguilar, Chief of Personnel for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Kennedy Space Center in Florida, noted: An agencywide survey revealed that at the Kennedy Space Center, recognition was a "Hot Spot" that needed work. A Recognition Process Action Team (RPAT) was established at the Center to design and implement changes to the recognition program and ensure consistent criteria. The charter of the team, made up of union representatives, managers and employees, was to use the many available forms of recognition to align performance with the Center's strategic plan. The new awards program ties recognition to measurements to ensure that processes have been improved and that customer expectations are being met. In addition, employees are receiving the types of recognition they find valuable, such as meeting astronauts or going to see a launch. NASA is maximizing opportunities to use situations and events that are unique to NASA and its culture.

Boeing (NYSE:BA) was met with robust demand for its fleet of jumbo jets on Monday as airlines lined up to place or confirm orders on the first day of the Paris Air Show and another suitor for the new 787-10X emerged.
Continue Reading Below
As the value of new orders surpassed the $10 billion mark, Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) showed its bullishness on the jet maker's stock by initiating coverage with an "overweight" rating.
Shares of Boeing were up 1.2% in recent trade to $103.04. They have risen 37% year-to-date.
Sparking further hopes that the new stretched-out 787 could launch as soon as this week, the world's largest aircraft leasing company, GECAS, a unit of GE (NYSE:GE), became the second company to endorse the Boeing 787-10X on Monday at the air show.
GECAS committed to buying 10 Boeing 787-10X, following in the footsteps of Singapore Airlines, which agreed to buy 30 aircraft two weeks ago. Both transactions are contingent upon the actual launch of the 787-10 program.
Reports last week in The Wall Street Journal suggested Boeing could launch the program as soon as this week. The larger version of the Dreamliner will be made of similar carbon composite materials intended to save fuel costs but will be able to seat more people.
"We have studied the capabilities Boeing is developing for the 787-10X and anticipate strong demand from our airline customers for this airplane," GECAS CEO Norman C.T. Liu said on Monday.
Chicago-based Boeing said it has been working with airline and leasing customers to define the key capabilities and features of the 787-10X, which would be the third and largest member of the 787 family designed serve medium and long-haul markets with roughly 15% more passenger capacity than its next-largest predecessor.
Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO Ray Conner touted the jet maker's widening fleet of fuel-efficient jets on Monday, giving an overview at the air show of Boeing's product strategy. He said conversations with customers are helping to rapidly define the 787-10X and 777X.
"Our current products, such as the Next-Generation 737, 747-8, 777 and 787, offer outstanding efficiency and our future products will continue to lead in every segment," Conner said. "There's no doubt our lineup is much broader than the competition."
Also at the show, Qatar ordered nine Boeing 777-300ERs, Thomson Air confirmed an earlier order of 60 737 MAX jets worth $6.09 billion at list price and Boeing said Skymark Airlines became the first Japanese carrier to fully commit to the 737 MAX with four aircraft. The jet maker, which has so far recorded more than 1,300 orders for the next-generation single-aisle aircraft, said it hopes to finalize the Skymark order within the next few months.
Demand for new aircraft has soared in recent years as carriers update their dilapidated fleets. Boeing, which competes directly with European rival Airbus, last week predicted demand for more than 35,000 new airplanes over the next 20 years with a potential value of $4.8 trillion.

DeKALB – Ninety-nine yards in 2 minutes, 43 seconds.
After looking shaky during the first half, quarterback Jordan Lynch and the Huskies took the ball from their own 1-yard line early in the third quarter and marched all the way to the end zone.
In the first half, NIU's offense didn't look to be quite in sync. The third quarter was a different story, with the Huskies scoring 21 points, and Lynch going 15 of 17 for 296 yards, two passing touchdowns and an interception.
After trailing by seven at the half, the Huskies went on to win 31-24 on Senior Night.
Sterling High School graduate and starting left tackle Tyler Loos was carted off the field late in the game with an apparent leg injury.
NIU (10-1, 7-0 Mid-American Conference) clinched its third consecutive Mid-American Conference West title. The Huskies will play at Eastern Michigan on Nov. 23.
NIU will play in the MAC Championship Game on Nov. 30 against the MAC East champion, while Wednesday's game marked the third consecutive year NIU has beaten Toledo (8-3, 5-2 MAC).
Lynch, who has been hyped as a Heisman Trophy contender this season, finished the game 25 of 36 with 407 yards passing and three passing touchdowns. He ran for 162 yards.
Martel Moore caught two touchdown passes for the Huskies. The senior, who was honored before the game with the rest of the Huskies' senior group as the winningest class in school history, had one of the most impressive plays of the year on NIU's first play from scrimmage in the third quarter.
Moore caught a screen pass from Lynch, juked some Rockets tacklers, kept his balance and went 73 yards to the end zone. The Huskies rode the momentum the rest of the third quarter on their way to their 10th straight win of the season.

'The Killing' Season 3: New Case Details and Photos!
June 2 will see the long-awaited debut of 'The Killing' season 3 on AMC, a prospect that few expected by this time last year given the mediocre critical reception and ratings. The new year for detectives Holder and Linden will start in a drastically different place, picking up an old case that connects to Linden's past, but what devastating events will see the pair come back together? Learn all about 'The Killing' season 3's new (one-season long) case inside!
Those skeptical of AMC murder-mystery drama 'The Killing's upcoming third season needn't fret, as showrunner Veena Sud confirms to Entertainment Weekly that "In season 3, the story lends itself to one season. We're going to solve it at the end." 'The Killing' got off to a promising start on AMC, until the creative decision to expand the Rosie Larsen case by an additional season took a great deal of critical and commercial heat. The AMC series was all but dead until Netflix stepped in to co-finance production, in exchange for early rights to the episodes.
As for the new season itself, Sud previewed that the two-hour June 2 premiere would see Linden ('World War Z's Mireille Enos) in a very different place than we left her, having left the force and taken a job working a ferry, as well as a much younger lover. Linden only returns to the Seattle police force when former partner Stephen Holder ('Robocop's Joel Kinnaman) finds himself investigating a brutal string of murders that connect to Linden's past in a surprising manner.
"Sarah's secret that we discovered last season was that she had a break over a case three years ago and that case put her into a psychiatric unit for several days," Sud says. "She's always had this nagging feeling that something wasn't quite right, and we've seen hints of that case over the last two seasons."
Sud reports that the new case drew inspiration from real-life incidents, including photographer Mary Ellen Mark's work depicting street youths in the 1970s, and the police investigation of Washington serial killer Gary Ridgway, which involved 50 women disappearing over a course of 20 years. "The police 'murder board' had all these pictures, most were mugshots...staring at you, not smiling. The more I looked at those photos I started to imagine the burden of responsibility those cops felt seeing those women look at them every day."
In addition to the casting of Peter Sarsgaard as death row inmate Ray Seward, scheduled to be executed for a crime brought to justice by Linden herself, 'The Killing' season 3 also boasts 'Battlestar Galactica' vet Aaron Douglas, 'Flashpoint's' Hugh Dillon, Johnny Ray Gill, Amy Semeitz, Max Fowler and Elias Koteas among its cast. 'The Killing' season 3 understandably won't involve the Larsen Family, nor will seasons 1 and 2 regular Mayor Darren Richmond (Billy Campbell) appear.
You can check out the latest hi-res photo from 'The Killing' season 3 below, and tell us what you think in the comments! Will you turn in to see if the June 2 premiere reinvigorates the series?

Razorback: Special Edition (AU - DVD)
Gabe Powers hits the duck's guts, but is it all the cod's wallop or dog's bullocks?
This review is sponsored by
One dark night in the Australian outback an old man's house is attacked by a rhino sized razorback boar, which runs off with the man's grandson. Though never sentenced to prison time, the old man's life is all but taken away in his thirst for vengeance. Years later, an animal rights advocate comes to the outback to film an expose on illegal kangaroo poaching. She's killed by the beast while being simultaneously attacked by a pair of roo-snuffing brothers. Her husband, bereft, and not trusting of the authorities assertions that she simply fell down a mineshaft, journeys to the outback seeking answers.
Back in my home town of Tucson, AZ, we had roving packs of javalina. In preschool a friend's dog was killed by these razorback relatives, and after that day I lived my life convinced these beasts were bloodthirsty killers. When I grew up I realized they weren't really all that scary, but the seed was planted. I looked far and wide for a VHS copy of Razorback over the years, but simply never found one. The film's still not available in the States on DVD, so I had to look elsewhere. The horror film community seemed to be in agreement that the film was a minor masterpiece, and I'd be damned if I was to miss out.
Upon finally seeing the film, I'm inclined to agree with the minor masterpiece consensus, with an emphasis on the 'minor'. Razorback is the feature film début of music video wonder child Russell Mulcahy, who would go on to direct the cult favourite Highlander, and its awful sequel. This was, according to the DVD's making of documentary, one of the first times a distributor put its faith in such a director. This marks the beginning and end of the film's historical significance to filmdom as a whole, but it is an important step. Without this successful marriage, we may not have ever seen the likes of famous modern directors like David Fincher, Chris Cunningham, Spike Jonze, or Michel Gondry (though I suppose we could've avoided McG and Brett Ratner).
Mulcahy's '80s music video background definitely shows through. The tap runs hot and cold, but overall the experimental quality to the look and editing are what makes the film more than another mediocre Jaws riff. Some shots, though not exactly 'realistic' are breathtaking. The film has a thick mood, though I wouldn't necessarily say it was an overtly scary one. Razorback is the antithesis of the hyper-real movement that followed Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which some viewers will find very off-putting. Stylistically, it looks undeniably '80s, complete with Michael Mannish cool blues (if you liked the look of Manhunter you'll like the look of Razorback), and the neon flashes of early James Cameron.
I liked the look, but had I not liked the story or characters, it wouldn't be enough. It doesn't look that good. Thankfully I liked the story and especially the characters. The whole thing is rather predictable, and wholly unoriginal, but it's still a good time at the movies. Our lead is a bit on the stoic side, but still a man we can get behind. The hunter is a big ol' stereotype, but what else could he be? The whole picture is pretty much stolen by David Argue, who plays one half of the evil, roo-blasting Baker brothers. Argue is hammy as all hell, but as in the case of our great white hunter, it kind of goes with the territory.
There are a lot of 'buts' in this review, as you may have noticed. It's just that kind of film I suppose. It's lowbrow entertainment, yet it reaches for some real artistic abstraction, and even though the script was toted as a Jaws rip-off, there isn't a weak-linking actor in the bunch. The film's tongue is never too far from its cheek, but never do the characters let on that they're in on the joke. And it's all pretty gory as well, not to mention the title pig itself, which though almost a secondary plot device, looks pretty convincing considering the budget and vintage of the finished film. You could do a lot worse on a Saturday night.
Ehhhh...I'm sure this is as good as the film's ever looked, but there are some big problems with compression and noise here. There are other releases, and I'd like to know how each version compares some day, but you could do worse than this. I'm happy to see the film in its original widescreen my first time viewing it, I can only imagine how much information was cropped on VHS releases. The bright colours look pretty good, if not a tad on the dark side (though of course this is an assumption on my part). I'm happy with the sharpness levels for the most part. Most of the slightly soft edges are probably due to the PAL to NTSC compression on my television.
Razorback has been remixed into a decent 5.1 Dolby Digital track (the U.K. release features a DTS track, but doesn't have half the special features). The track isn't particularly spatially impressive, and I didn't notice too many effective directional effects, but fidelity is decent, and the punch of the overall track is effective enough. The film's soundtrack was composed by Iva Davies, who was an Australian pop star at the time (he later went on to compose the score for fellow Aussie Peter Weir's Master and Commander), is surprisingly undated. The composer states on the making of doc that he purchased one of the world's first sampling machines to create the score.
This Aussie Special Edition is the way to go for fans of the film, but new comers can get just as much out of the set. It all begins with a well made, and very accessible documentary called Jaws on Trotters. This is my kind of doc, well edited, informative without overstaying its welcome, all around very good stuff. Everything's covered at least briefly, from inception (it was based on a novel, believe it or not), to release (though the fact that it really didn't see a theatrical release in the States is skipped). The film's strengths are, of course, brought to the forefront, but no one's afraid to make mention of its shortcomings either. Those Aussies are honest folks, and have surprisingly sharp memories.
We've also got a radio interview with the lead actor, Gregory Harrison, who apparently was unavailable for comment during the making of the documentary (though I would've still edited in his comments if I were in charge). I'm sorry to say that my patience got the better of me looking at a static screen, and got a little bored listening.
My boredom subsided with the presence of four elongated death scenes. The film was cut for distribution, and these were the scenes that suffered. Some are almost identical to their in-film counterparts, but some (especially Argue's death) are quite a bit more sticky. The scenes are presented in a rough 1.33:1 aspect ratio, and can be a little hard to discern, but we'll take what we can get until someone (Anchorbay USA? Blue Underground?) has the time and money to clean up an entirely uncut print.
Things come to a close with some art galleries, which include some wonderfully lurid poster art, and a trailer gallery, which includes Chain Reaction (no, not the Keanu Reeves movie), Road Games, and Long Weekend.
It's not a surprise that Razorback ended up being a solid genre offering, as everything I'd read suggested as such, but it was still quite a joy to behold. There is no version as yet available in the US, and unless you're a DTS snob, this R4 special edition is the way to go for special features alone. The documentary is glorious, and the addition of the uncut death scenes is vital. Good stuff all around.

The Bachelor's 2nd runner up Jillian Harris is currently filming The Bachelorette and is about halfway through filming. The filming began just 4 weeks after the shocking/infamous "After The Final Rose" episode.
Jillian's mom Peggy states, "It was a first, what happened with Jason, and I think it will make her more aware. What she learned was to be really careful when choosing. It will put more pressure on her." The Canadian Bachelorette will have a pool of 25 men to pick from. The Bachelorette is set to premier on ABC next month.

In a nutshell, the 2007 California almond season now winding down included good growing weather, minimal disease and pest pressures, decent prices, good to superior quality nuts, and no reported almond thefts.
"It's a good almond crop. It may not surpass the (NASS) estimate (1.33 billion pounds) but it will still be an exceptionally good crop," said Don McKinney, almond grower and president of the Kerman, Calif.-based Central California Almond Growers Association (CCAGA).
"Prices are relatively good considering the crop size. We don't see a big swing from $1 to $4 like what happened over the last few years. It's good for the industry to be stabilized. Supply and demand are in good harmony right now."
The only down side to the 2007 crop, McKinney chuckled, was personally not having more almonds to sell. He has grown almonds for 38 years on 40 acres located 10 miles west of Madera.
As for pests, mite damage was heavy in almonds, McKinney said.
"Those growers who didn't do an exceptionally good job of controlling mites had some defoliation in their trees. It's not a huge problem as far as the tree itself goes, but it does stress trees through the summer months," McKinney said.
June and July are when bud differentiation takes place — when the tree decides whether a bud will become a flower bud or a leaf bud, McKinney explained. A severe hit by mites can affect the bud set for next year. It's a relatively small problem in fairly isolated areas. Most growers control mites fairly well.
Almond trees in the prime of production yielded up to 3,500 pounds of meats per acre, according to Mike Kelley, CCAGA president and chief executive officer. Trees 20-years-plus in age yielded 800 to 1,500 pounds per acre.
"The Nonpareil price for a good large nut is about $2.30 per meat pound," Kelley said in late September. "Smaller sizes are about $2 to $2.10. That's real respectable, but there are a lot of smaller sizes in the marketplace. California varieties are around $1.80."
Kelley expected the association to handle close to 78 million pounds in 2007, compared to 74 million in 2006. He linked the increase to more association members and high production. The CCAGA is the largest almond huller/sheller in California with 462 members growing almonds on 50,000 acres from Merced to Pixley.
Blue Diamond perspective
Dave Baker, director, member relations for Sacramento, Calif.-based Blue Diamond Growers, said 2007 should be a profitable year for growers.
"Prices slumped from 2006, dropping prices on standard sheller run which is kind of a bench mark, an unsized graded poorer quality product, to levels as low as $1.60 to $1.65 in the spring of 2007. The price is now at the $1.80 level," Baker said.
Smaller Nonpareils (with few available) are selling for 50 cents a pound higher than when crop marketing first began, Baker said. Other Nonpareil sizes are about 15 to 20 cents a pound higher.
Almond shipments are excellent. "Looking at the first month of shipments (August), we have set an all-time record again. Shipments for the 2007 to 2008 marketing year should exceed the record shipments established last year at 1.06 billion pounds, reaching levels close to 1.2 billion pounds," Baker said.
As far as almond rejects, the 2007 crop is the cleanest since 2002, Baker said. New crop nuts are smaller and that's usually the case with larger crops. That's created a small problem since certain markets prefer larger-size kernels.
"There's just not enough large nuts in the crop to supply those markets this year. However, those buyers seem to migrate to the next available size."
Nonpareils shook clean from the trees. The Nonpareil portion of the NASS estimate is accurate, Baker said. He wasn't sure on pollinator yields since harvest had just begun at press time.
Blue Diamond Growers has more than 3,000 growers, or about one-half of the growers in California.
Stanislaus County
In Stanislaus County, Roger Duncan, University of California Cooperative Extension (UCCE) farm advisor, called the county's 2007 crop excellent with high yields and for the most part fairly clean.
"Overall it's been an excellent year with very few problems with insects, mites, and disease. Water availability has not been a huge concern in Stanislaus County, although it has been a big issue in the southern San Joaquin Valley." Damage from navel orangeworm and the leaf-footed plant bug was prevalent in the 2006 crop.
The county had good, high quality winter chilling hours. Almonds came out blooming strong in the spring with varieties blooming together."
"Yields in 2007 are generally pretty high — there are many 3,500 and 4,000 pound per acre yields here," Duncan said.
Kernel size tended to be smaller, but expected with the larger crop, he noted.
"Another potential reason for the smaller kernel size is we entered into the spring pretty dry due to below normal winter rainfall. The deep soil moisture in some orchards just wasn't there. More orchards than usual were a little more water stressed than in other years."
Nut quality has been good, according to reports Duncan had heard.
The 2006 Nonpareil yield was lower in Stanislaus County compared to the southern part of the state. California varieties yielded well. In some Butte and Padre orchards, the set wasn't quite as high as hoped, Duncan said.
With the 2007 harvest about in the bag, pruning is the next major job for growers, plus the application of boron and potassium in some areas.
"In the northern end of the San Joaquin Valley, we tend to be low in boron on the east side. Many growers should consider applying a foliar boron spray while there are still active leaves on the trees. It's also the time to apply potassium."
Sutter, Yuba counties
In Sutter and Yuba counties, almond production covers about 5,600 acres. Franz Niederholzer, UCCE farm advisor, said 2007 almond production is good with above average yields.
Typical production in the area falls in the 1,000 to 1,200 pounds per acre range since many trees are older. The county average could increase several hundred pounds per acre this season, Niederholzer said.
Butte and Padre variety yields were considerably higher with the best blocks yielding 1,900 to 2,000 nutmeats per acre. Nut quality was reported lower in at least a few blocks due to navel orangeworm (NOW) damage.
"Some growers who didn't spray for navel orangeworm have 8 percent damage or more. That's significant," Niederholzer said. "The industry doesn't like it due to the aflatoxin concern. Growers don't like it because it comes right out of their pocket, in addition to the aflatoxin issue."
Kernel size in Sutter and Yuba counties was smaller than average, and Niederholzer attributed that to the weather.
"When spring weather is warm, the fruit's biological clock speeds up. Within 30 to 45 days after bloom, much of the fruit's final size potential is established. For the rest of the season, the individual cells simply expand and make the final crop."
Ted DeJong at UC Davis has shown that warm weather in the first 30 days after bloom results in smaller peaches at harvest compared to peaches grown under cooler temperatures in those 30 days after bloom, Niederholzer said.
At the huller/sheller level, CCAGA's Kelley reported ideal conditions for processing 2007 almonds.
"Hulls are real dry. When the product hit the machinery, it just flew through. From a processing standpoint, it's been wonderful. From a production standpoint, it's been a very good year. From a quality standpoint, it's been a superior year," Kelley said.
Almond estimates
The CCAGA's almond output will run 8 percent to 10 percent under the group's original estimate, McKinney said.
"Kernel size this year was fairly erratic. Nonpareil nuts varied from 20 to 24 nuts per ounce to 30 to 34 nuts per ounce. We were originally forecasting near 85 million pounds for our association. Looks like we'll actually have 79 to 80 million."
McKinney expressed his concern over NASS' 1.33 billion pound estimate.
"Frankly, I am a little disturbed about how much the forecast was off (too high)."
The USDA (NASS), the California Department of Food and Agriculture, and the Almond Board of California have been very good at predicting the exact tonnage over the last five years or so, McKinney said.
"I think we'll be coming up a little bit short this year and I'd be interested in hearing what their explanation for that is. I don't want to point fingers at anybody but a lot of money changes hands based on the estimate and it needs to be as accurate as possible."
No thefts in 2007
While several major thefts of almonds occurred during the 2006 harvest period, Kelley, McKinney, Duncan, Baker, and Niederholzer were unaware of any thefts in 2007.
"Back when almond prices were $3.50 per pound it was pretty enticing, and the industry did lose a few. Maybe the price has come down enough that the thieves can make more money by stealing copper wire," McKinney said.

The price of oil rose Thursday on positive economic news from the U.S. and China.
Benchmark oil gained 72 cents to finish at $95.95 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
There are signs that oil demand is picking up in China. HSBC's monthly purchasing managers' index, which gauges manufacturing activity in China, rose for the fifth consecutive month in January to 51.9 from December's 51.5. Readings above 50 indicate expansion. More manufacturing means more energy consumption, which should push oil prices higher.
In the U.S., the number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits fell last week to the lowest level in five years, evidence that employers are cutting fewer jobs and may step up hiring.
Drivers doing the daily commute to work saw pump prices rise slightly overnight to an average of $3.32 a gallon. That's up 3 cents from a week ago.
The Energy Information Administration said oil supplies rose by 2.8 million barrels last week, more than analysts expected. That pushed oil stockpiles to 363.1 million barrels, up 8.5 percent from year-ago levels. But gasoline supplies dropped by 1.7 million barrels as demand rose and refineries slowed down, according to the Energy Department's statistical arm. Analysts had been expecting an increase in gasoline stocks.
On Wednesday, oil dropped by $1.45 per barrel after crude shipments through the Seaway pipeline from Cushing, Okla., to refineries on the Gulf Coast had to be cut to less than half because of limited capacity. Supplies of benchmark crude at the crucial Cushing hub remain at the highest level in 20 years. That's expected to fall as the pipeline carries more crude.
Brent crude, used to price international varieties of oil, rose 48 cents to end at $113.28 per barrel on the ICE Futures exchange in London.
In other energy futures trading on Nymex:
— Wholesale gasoline rose 3 cents to finish at $2.86 per gallon.
— Natural gas fell 11 cents to end at $3.45 per 1,000 cubic feet.
— Heating oil added less than a penny to finish at $3.09 a gallon.

Spin Right Around: 5 Salad Spinners to Consider
We have been contemplating salad spinners lately. More specifically, the idea of buying one. We've been really getting into salads recently, and pressing the greens in towels and letting them air-dry is just not cutting it anymore. Here are a few spinner models we're thinking about. What kind do you use?
We don't ask for much in a salad spinner. It should spin smoothly and be large enough to hold several handfuls of greens at once. Ideally, though, it shouldn't be so large that we have trouble finding somewhere to store it. Personally, we really like the models with a pump-device or crank in the middle, as opposed to a zip-cord that you pull.
Here are the models we're considering:
• OXO Good Grips Salad Spinner - This one seems to get consistently good reviews across all the board. ($30 from Williams-Sonoma)
• Zyless Smart Touch Salad Spinner - Faith gave this spinner high marks when she reviewed it a few years back. ($27 from Amazon)
• Collapsible Salad Spinner - An appealing option because it would store a lot more easily. ($29.95 from Sur la Table)
• Ratchet Salad Spinner - If you're the type to store greens inside the spinner, this tall design might fit more easily in the fridge. ($19.99 from Bed Bath & Beyond)
• Tokig Ikea Salad Spinner - This one certainly wins in the cost category! Plus it has a cute design. ($2.99 from Ikea)
Do you like your salad spinner? What kind do you have?

Futura 155 vs. Formula 162
Hi Kevin, I think it is amazing that you answer these questions so thanks in advance. I am interetsed in purchasing a board and rig for light wind conditions in British Columbia's Okanagan Valley. I have been sailing for 20+ years but really don't get yout much here due to conditions (6-12 tmes/year). I want a board that i can sail a 11-12+m sail on down to 7.0m. I am looking at the Formula 162 strickly because of it's ability to plane early in light winds and handle a large sail. However i like the Futura design thinking that it may be more versatile for when i want to rig a smaller sail (6.5m-7.5m). Ideas/suggestions? I know that one board will not do it all, but want to get as close to the best of both worlds. Light wind performance with versatility.

"Booming," "sky-high," and "formidable" are just a sampling of the adjectives often used to describe Hillary Clinton's popularity, as DC pundits speculate about her perceived ambitions for 2016.
Pool / Getty Images
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton attend a dinner for Kennedy honorees on Dec. 1, 2012 in Washington, D.C.
It's correct that Clinton (bested only by her husband Bill) enjoys the second highest approval rating of the public figures we asked about in our most recent NBC/WSJ poll. With a 58% positive / 28% negative split overall (and 100 percent name recognition), she has the kind of numbers that most political figures experience only in daydreams.
And it's also worth noting that neither she nor her husband are strangers to the political doldrums. In April 2008, as her prospects for a primary comeback waned, she had a net negative overall approval rating. When Bill Clinton left the presidency, after his controversial pardon of Marc Rich, just 34 percent of Americans viewed him positively.
But as both have seen their numbers rebound to their current highs, are the Clintons' stores of political goodwill -- built up by a couple that has largely stayed above the political fray since the end of the 2008 election -- resilient enough to bolster another run for the presidency by Hillary?
Here's a look at where both Clintons stand right now with some of the groups that make up a campaign-building coalition.
(As with all deep dives into cross-tabs, insert caveat here that the margin of error for these subgroups is by definition higher than the poll's overall MOE of +/- 3.10%.)
Hillary Clinton enjoys a 70 percent approval rating among women. Almost seven-in-ten Hispanic respondents and and 87 percent of African-Americans also said they view her positively.
While she is hardly beloved by the party she once derided for its penchant for "right wing conspiracy," her marks with Republicans are better than the current president's. A quarter of Republicans in the NBC/WSJ survey gave her positive ratings, while 52 percent of independents said the same. (Compare that to 10 percent of GOP respondents and 45 percent of indies for Obama.)
Other than being slightly underwater among white men, she has net positive ratings among almost every key constituency, with notable strength among suburban women (+44 points), blue collar workers (+24 points) and retirees (+18 points).
And then there's Bill.
The former president, who once stood at the brink of impeachment, has nearly regained the popularity he enjoyed at his first inauguration in 1993. Just a quarter of the poll's respondents said they view Bill Clinton negatively. His numbers with Republicans and independents are comparable to his wife's, but his overall popularity is buoyed by strength among white men, who view him positively by a margin of more than 30 points.
Both Clintons are also unsurprisingly strong with the Democratic base -- a data point that's notable only in light of the blistering attacks both launched on Barack Obama during the 2007-2008 primary battle. Disapproval for either barely registers among respondents who classified themselves as liberals or core Democrats.
None of this is to say that the daily volleys of a possible campaign wouldn't create some cracks in the Clintonian armor; Hillary Clinton's approval rating dropped by 10 points in the two bruising months after the Iowa caucuses in 2008, for example.
What goes up, both pols know, can come down.
But for now, speculators, "formidable" is fine.

ROGERSVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — In their plans to shoot up a high school, two Tennessee teenagers studied the 1999 Columbine massacre, hoping to maximize the number of student and faculty deaths, according to officials who say they seized weapons and journals detailing attack plans.
The boys wanted to correct what they saw as mistakes made in the Colorado shooting, Hawkins County Sheriff Ronnie Lawson said, according to the Kingsport Times-News (http://bit.ly/1ufv8rw ).
Authorities became aware of the plans for Volunteer High School in Church Hill last October after they were alerted by a counselor for one of the boys, who are 16 and 17 years old.
The boys were charged Thursday with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit an act of terrorism and possession of explosive components. Both teenagers have been in custody on other charges since the investigation began. Arrest warrants on the new charges were issued several months ago but were served as the boys were about to be released.
Deputies searched the home of the younger boy last December and said they seized guns owned by the boy's father as well as journals detailing plans for an attack, floor plans of the high school, fire crackers and gun powder.
Lawson said investigators also found videos the boys posted on the Internet of themselves holding AR-15 rifles and detonating Molotov cocktails.
He said the younger boy was obsessed with mass murders, serial killers and the Columbine shooting.
At a hearing in juvenile court Thursday, one of the boys was given a $75,000 bond with restrictions of house arrest, full-time adult supervision and restraint from all Hawkins County school property, Lawson said. The second boy will have a bond hearing at a later date.
Third Judicial District Attorney General Berkeley Bell said prosecutors still are deciding whether to ask that the boys be tried as adults.
Lawson said he could not release the names of the boys or give out any more specific information because the suspects are juveniles and because the investigation is ongoing.

A catholic monastery devoted to the teachings of St. Benedict
Fr. Columba Kelly, OSB, a Benedictine monk of Saint
Meinrad Archabbey since 1952, is a well-known composer and teacher
of Gregorian chant.
He finished his doctorate in Church music at Musica Sacra in
Rome in 1963, just as Roman liturgy was moving from Latin into
English in the United States.
In 1964, Fr. Columba was appointed choirmaster for Saint
Meinrad, where he began his work of composing English-language
chants based on the principles used to create the original
Gregorian Chant repertory. That same year, he also began teaching
at Saint Meinrad College and Saint Meinrad School of Theology.
For 12 years, he taught summer courses at St. Joseph College's
(Rensselear, IN) Liturgical Musical Program. He has led numerous
workshops on chant, throughout the United States, at the Abbey of
Solesmes in France, and for Benedictine communities in
During the summer of 2003, he gave three presentations on chant
at the National Pastoral Musicians' National Convention in
Cincinnati, OH.
Each summer, he gives a two-week workshop in the theory and
practice of chant in both Latin and English. In May 2010, he gave
two presentations on chant at the Ascending Voice II symposium
sponsored by Pepperdine University.
You can find information about this year's workshops at Saint
Meinrad at these links:
In recent years, Fr. Columba has directed Saint Meinrad's chant
schola in a program of Latin and English chants produced for CDs:
an Advent/Christmas CD, a Christmas CD and a Lent/Easter CD. In
1999, he directed the schola in a performance at the Ravinia
Festival in Chicago. He has also assisted in a number of special
projects and compositions regarding Gregorian Chant.
His settings of the Responsorial Psalms and Refrains for
Advent/Christmas and Lent/Easter seasons have been published by
Gregorian Institute of America, Chicago, IL. His chant style
setting with SAB chorus of the St. John Passion for Good Friday has
been published by Oregon Catholic Press, Portland, OR. He has
written two books on chant, published by Edwin Mellen Press.
During the past several decades, in addition to his teaching,
Fr. Columba has created a body of English chant based on the
natural rhythm of spoken word.
Currently, there are more than 1,800 responsories and antiphons
in the liturgical books at Saint Meinrad. This music, which
represents only part of his work, forms the day-to-day music of the
Archabbey. This work has been carried on with the assistance of his
confreres, Fr. Samuel Weber, OSB, and Fr. Tobias Colgan, OSB.
Fr. Columba has worked with recreating melismatic chants for
English texts developed to fit (more or less) the Latin melody.
Although the music for the English is similar to that for the
Latin, it is not the same. Rather, it has been carefully crafted to
respect the rhythm and meaning of the English text.
In addition, Fr. Columba has created wholly new compositions,
such as the responsorial psalms for the Third Sunday of Advent and
for Christmas Midnight Mass in the melismatic idiom; both are
contained on the Advent and Christmas CD.
All of these compositions are an attempt to recreate the
tradition for our own time. With its free rhythm and modal
sonority, chant has a decidedly modern sense.

The shameless inspiration was pasta! Josh started making spaghetti every Sunday night and something about all the angel hair noodles on my plate made me start thinking in thread. Feathers are always fun to modify with extra loops, circles, or spirals, so why not noodles?
This design might look a bit intimidating, but it's really a great way to practice echoing. Even if your echoing lines aren't perfect, feathers are pretty forgiving so long as you get the starting shape set up first.
If you're struggling to form the feather shape in the first place, definitely check out feather quilting stencils. They're a great way to practice quilting simple feather shapes by marking the lines first, then quilting on the line. After marking and quilting the plain feather, who says you can't travel stitch back and practice echoing by swirling into each feather shape?
Let's go quilt,
