text: Savant Launches in L.A. Published on September 23, 2005. Villains and Smuggler vets Joby Barnhart and Jamie Miller have launched Savant, a new Los Angeles-based production boutique. While Savant's lineup boasts a diverse range of talent in action, visual, performance and comedy, "We aim to have a focused roster," says co-EP Miller. The company's bench includes John Bonito, who hails from the broadcast world, Matt Carter, former Daddy directing team member Jake Knowles, and Swedish mixed-media director collective Waytion. Says Miller of his new outfit's shingle, "There are lots of connotations with our name--it means an educated person, there's the idea of idiot savant-- a couple of different things, none of which are bad, and the name's strong, concise, memorable and maybe stands out a little bit. There are also monkeys in our logo-we wanted to poke fun at ourselves so people know we're not taking ourselves too seriously." (AD) Most Popular In this article: Creativity News

For centuries, daylily trumpets have heralded summertime's arrival from roadside embankments all across the country. Their more cultivated hybrid cousins line flower beds, fence rows and driveways with a rainbow of color and flash of cool, hot-weather pizzazz.
At The Arboretum on Alumni Drive, a new mixed perennial border along the entry walkway features about 300 daylilies donated by two local breeders, Daylily World and Thoroughbred Daylilies.
The specimens' names — including Age of Opulence, Invitation to Immortality, Redneck Red and Lizard's Lair — suggest flights of fancy and fun. The flowers themselves are rich in unusual and inviting characteristics, with sparkling ruffled edges, chiffon tutu-type blossoms, and shocking red, yellow, orange and purple hues.
Central Kentucky is home to many daylily breeders and enthusiasts with a large and active support group in the area.
The Blue Grass Hemerocallis Society will host regional American Hemerocallis Society summer meetings July 3 to 5.
Daylily hybridizing is "an American success story," says John Rice, who owns Thoroughbred Daylilies in Paris with his wife, Annette Rice.
Daylilies have been a garden fixture so long here that we forget they're not native to the Americas.
"About 95 percent of the top hybridizers in the world are in the United States, even though daylilies all came from Asia," Rice says.
The Rices not only work toward producing beautiful blooms, but breeding plants that are well-suited for local growing conditions and are strong, healthy plants that produce flower scapes that are sturdily shaped and in an aesthetically pleasing form.
The Arboretum also maintains two daylily beds filled with annual winners of the American Hemerocallis Society's Stout Silver Medal. The medal, given since 1950, is named for Arlow Stout, whose research work in daylily hybridization as well as on other plants at the New York Botanical Garden in the early 1900s was instrumental in expanding their popularity.
Two of the more contemporary winners were hybridized by David Kirchhoff and another one by Mort Morss, both local breeders at Daylily World in Lawrenceburg.
The new border, designed by Fayette County Cooperative Extension agent for Horticulture Jamie Dockery, is a riot of perennial texture and color, which evolves through the summer months. From late June through early August, masses of daylily blooms play starring roles amid pools of other greenery.
"The daylilies in the display were chosen because they are good bedding plants," The Arboretum's horticulturalist Jesse Dahl says. "They may not have the spider blooms, or other crazy attributes that you can find in daylilies, but they bloom over a long season, and have very few problems so they are better choice for homeowners."
Arboretum director Molly Davis adds, "The bed's large size is in keeping with the scale of the surrounding landscape. The planting design is executed so that the daylilies are the focal points, while the other plants — various sedum, amsonia, plumbago, ornamental grasses, Carolina lupines and coreopsis — provide the ground-level and backdrop support to showcase the daylilies. The varying foliage and other blooming plants add textural interest and a long season of bloom time that is very pleasing."
Daylily blossoms last only one day, however the flower scapes or stalks bear many blooms that mature sequentially. With a bit of planning and research, varieties can extend the color from June through August.

Defense and plaintiffs hope Joiner will explain not only the division of duties between trial and appellate judges, but also the trial judge's role in determining relevance and reliability of scientific evidence.
FACING QUESTIONS ABOUT the admissibility of scientific evidence and injunctions against expert testimony, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments Oct. 14, 1997, in their first "post-Daubert" case, General Electric v. Joiner, 96-188, which asks what standard of review appellate courts should apply in assessing a trial judge's exclusion of expert scientific evidence.
The Joiner case is the first such challenge to capture the justices' attention since their 1993 ruling, Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, 509 U.S. 579. Defense and plaintiffs' lawyers hope Joiner will explain not only the division of duties between trial and appellate judges, but also the trial judge's role in determining the relevance and reliability of scientific evidence.
Robert Joiner, an electrician who claims he contracted lung cancer from exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs, in transformers, sued G.E., Westinghouse and Monsanto. A trial judge found the expert testimony and scientific studies supporting his claim unreliable, and granted summary judgment for the companies. The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, by a 2-1 vote, reversed after applying a "particularly stringent standard of review" to the trial judge's exclusion of the expert testimony.
In the high court, GE's counsel, Steven Kuney, of D.C.'s Williams & Connolly, said 10 circuits that have faced the Joiner question have applied the abuse-of-discretion standard, which is highly deferential to the trial judge. The 11th Circuit's standard, he charged, actually discourages the exercise of discretion inherent in the trial judge's "gatekeeper" role. Abuse of discretion, he said, "allows an appellate court the full range of what it needs to do."
Mr. Joiner's counsel, Prof. Michael Gottesman, of Georgetown Univ. Law Center, said he wasn't seeking two different tiers of review but an allocation of judicial resources: "Appellate courts should be free, when they feel a ruling was really important to the outcome of a case, to look closely."
* This article was excerpted, modified or otherwise prepared by the 'Lectric Law Library from a work by Marcia Coyle in The National Law Journal pg A10, 10/97. NY Law Publishing Co. 1997
About two months after the above article was written the Supremes decided the case. Below is the syllabus.
GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. ET AL. v. JOINER
No. 96-188 -- Argued October 14, 1997 -- Decided December 15, 1997
78 F.3d 524, reversed and remanded.
After he was diagnosed with small-cell lung cancer, respondent Joiner sued in Georgia state court, alleging, inter alia, that his disease was "promoted" by his workplace exposure to chemical "PCBs" and derivative "furans" and "dioxins" that were manufactured by, or present in materials manufactured by, petitioners. Petitioners removed the case to federal court and moved for summary judgment. Joiner responded with the depositions of expert witnesses, who testified that PCBs, furans, and dioxins can promote cancer, and opined that Joiner' exposure to those chemicals was likely responsible for his cancer. The District Court ruled that there was a genuine issue of material fact as to whether Joiner had been exposed to PCBs, but granted summary judgment for petitioners because (1) there was no genuine issue as to whether he had been exposed to furans and dioxins, and (2) his experts' testimony had failed to show that there was a link between exposure to PCBs and small-cell lung cancer and was therefore inadmissible because it did not rise above "subjective belief or unsupported speculation." In reversing, the Eleventh Circuit applied "a particularly stringent standard of review" to hold that the District Court had erred in excluding the expert testimony.
Held: 1. Abuse of discretion-the standard ordinarily applicable to review of evidentiary rulings-is the proper standard by which to review a district court's decision to admit or exclude expert scientific evidence. Contrary to the Eleventh Circuit's suggestion, Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 509 U.S. 579, did not somehow alter this general rule in the context of a district court's decision to exclude scientific evidence. Daubert did not address the appellate review standard for evidentiary rulings at all, but did indicate that, while the Federal Rules of Evidence allow district courts to admit a somewhat broader range of scientific testimony than did pre- existing law, they leave in place the trial judge's "gatekeeper" role of screening such evidence to ensure that it is not only relevant, but reliable. Id., at 589. A court of appeals applying "abuse of discretion" review to such rulings may not categorically distinguish between rulings allowing expert testimony and rulings which disallow it. Compare Beech Aircraft Corp. v. Rainey, 488 U.S. 153, 172, with United States v. Abel, 469 U.S. 45, 54. This Court rejects Joiner's argument that because the granting of summary judgment in this case was "outcome determinative," it should have been subjected to a more searching standard of review. On a summary judgment motion, disputed issues of fact are resolved against the moving party- here, petitioners. But the question of admissibility of expert testimony is not such an issue of fact, and is reviewable under the abuse of discretion standard. In applying an overly "stringent" standard, the Eleventh Circuit failed to give the trial court the deference that is the hallmark of abuse of discretion review.
2. A proper application of the correct standard of review indicates that the District Court did not err in excluding the expert testimony at issue. The animal studies cited by respondent's experts were so dissimilar to the facts presented here- i.e., the studies involved infant mice that developed alveologenic adenomas after highly concentrated, massive doses of PCBs were injected directly into their peritoneums or stomachs, whereas Joiner was an adult human whose small-cell carcinomas allegedly resulted from exposure on a much smaller scale-that it was not an abuse of discretion for the District Court to have rejected the experts' reliance on those studies. Nor did the court abuse its discretion in concluding that the four epidemiological studies on which Joiner relied were not a sufficient basis for the experts' opinions, since the authors of two of those studies ultimately were unwilling to suggest a link between increases in lung cancer and PCB exposure among the workers they examined, the third study involved exposure to a particular type of mineral oil not necessarily relevant here, and the fourth involved exposure to numerous potential carcinogens in addition to PCBs. Nothing in either Daubert or the Federal Rules of Evidence requires a district court to admit opinion evidence which is connected to existing data only by the ipse dixit of the expert.
3. These conclusions, however, do not dispose of the entire case. The Eleventh Circuit reversed the District Court's conclusion that Joiner had not been exposed to furans and dioxins. Because petitioners did not challenge that determination in their certiorari petition, the question whether exposure to furans and dioxins contributed to Joiner's cancer is still open.
78 F.3d 524, reversed and remanded.
REHNQUIST, C.J., delivered the opinion for a unanimous Court with respect to Parts I and II, and the opinion of the Court with respect to Part III, in which O'CONNOR, SCALIA, KENNEDY, SOUTER, THOMAS, GINSBURG, and BREYER, JJ., joined. BREYER, J., filed a concurring opinion. STEVENS, J., filed an opinion concurring in part and dissenting in part.

Problems with Google Chrome
Have been using Chrome for a few weeks now and like its speed but it has started acting 'flaky'.
If I click on a dialogue box arrow I get a popup (shown in the attachment) saying basically that the prog has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly. This will popup for each letter I type in the dialogue which can be frustrating!!! It happens mainly when I try to post in forums. Using Firefox now so not sure if it would happen on this forum but the ones I frequent use vBulletin.
Any ideas. I've tried the usual uninstall - reinstall a few times and have now given up.

Call it a sad commentary on our modern world, but we've grown accustomed to tales of identity theft. It seems that those unwilling to woodchip their credit card receipts have a decent chance of opening up a Visa bill full of pain. A new twist on this sort of criminal activity is making its way through the used car market, however, but it doesn't involve stealing identities from individuals. Instead, thieves are impersonating entire dealerships in order to bilk car shoppers out of too-good-to-be-true online sales.
In June, scoundrels essentially "stole" the name of a reputable Memphis car dealer, America Auto Sales, and set up a website -- www.americautosales.com (now defunct) -- claiming to be that dealership. Then the scammers advertised "below-market prices for repossessed cars." (America Auto Sales' actual website is www.memphisautoworld.com and it does not sell cars over the Internet.)
Of course, the reason the prices were so low is because the cars didn't exist. Within weeks of the launch of the phony website, the Better Business Bureau received more than 1,500 inquires about this so-called "dealership" from consumers all over the country -- many of whom had already been bilked out of their down payments.
The Memphis dealership itself got 1,000 calls from consumers who had shopped for a car on the bogus site, many wondering why they hadn't yet received the vehicles they ordered, after laying out significant amounts of cash for "deposits."
Further investigation revealed the similar sites have also popped up, never for more than a few weeks at a time, in states such as Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, New Mexico and Texas, dating back to December 2009. But none generated nearly as much activity as the bogus site that was dishonestly posing as the Memphis dealership.
Top 15 Autos Sold In The U.S.
"The people who made 'deposits' generally lost anywhere from $2,000 to $4,000," says Nancy Crawford, spokesperson for the Memphis office of the Better Business Bureau.
She said the scam is being investigated by IC3.gov -- an Internet crime tracking website that is a partnership between the FBI, the National White Collar Crime Center and Bureau of Justice Assistance. "But they're telling us it is highly unlikely that these deposits will ever be recovered, because the criminals set it up in a way that makes it almost impossible to trace them." One of those tactics is that it appears this scam was conducted from overseas, said Crawford.
AOL Autos called two of the victims of this scam to ask them about their experiences with these hucksters.
Amanda Hanson, from suburban Cleveland, has Multiple Sclerosis and is on disability. She moves with the help of a wheelchair or a walker. She has a master's degree in microbiology, and pursued a career in that field for several years, but is now unable to work due to her condition. "I'd been driving a [Chevy] Cavalier, but with my condition, it's hard getting in and out of a coupe, so I was looking for a sedan," she says.
"We decided I should buy a new car that was easier to get in and out of, and that had a trunk that was big enough for me to fold up my wheelchair and put it back there. And I found a 2006 Cobalt on this website, with 57,000 miles, selling for only $3,198."
Hanson did her due diligence: She researched the actual dealer, and saw that it had a good rating from the BBB, unaware that the scammers had stolen the dealer's name and set up this bogus website.
So Hanson sent in a deposit of $2,258, including shipping costs, and was told the car would be delivered to her home in a few days. But the crooks insisted that the deposit only be sent via MoneyGram Money Transfer, not by check and not by using a credit card. That was a key element of the scam, because MoneyGram Money transfers can be picked up anywhere in the world without the person having to show any ID or provide any identifying code, explains Crawford. So, the culprits cannot be traced.
"They were even told to specifically use MoneyGram Money Transfer, as opposed to MoneyGram Express, which does require that whoever picks it up provide a numerical code," says Crawford.
Even worse, the money Hanson sent for her "deposit" was inheritance money her husband had recently received.
"I did think it was odd that this dealer only communicated via e-mail, that we couldn't actually call them and talk to anyone," says Hanson. "So about five days after I sent the money, and my car still had not arrived, and I tried to log back onto their site, but couldn't. I didn't know it was a scam until I saw a news story on TV."
With Hanson's income being restricted to her disability benefits -- and with her husband currently unemployed due to the recession -- that $2,258 represents a big financial hit. "It really was a hardship for us, to lose that money," says Hanson. "I was very upset and angry for a few weeks, but now I have resigned myself to it. It's a learning situation, I guess, but I am going to continue speaking out about this."
Research On AOL Autos Before You Buy
What those who were bilked have learned, says Crawford, is to be cognizant of these red flags when doing business with online car-sales operations:
1. Prices that seem too good to be true.
2. A dealer that only communicates through e-mail or online chat, and never by phone.
3. A dealer who only accepts payment by money wire transfer.
The second victim of this ruse that we contacted was Walt Dworschak, of Corona, California. He's also on disability, due to his epilepsy. "I'd just gotten my driver's license back, after not having it for a year. Prior to that, I wasn't legally permitted to drive, because they were concerned I might have a seizure while driving," explains Dworschak.
"But I'd been under a neurologist's care for a year, and he had me on a medication, and he determined that I was now seizure-free. So I was pretty excited about being able to drive again," says Dworschak. "So my wife did a search for Carfax, and this website was the first one that came up. They listed a repossessed '09 Ford F-150 for only $7,800. I thought, 'That's a great deal,' because the low Blue Book value for that truck was $14,000."
Like Hanson, Dworschak did his homework, and also found that the actual dealer had high ratings. But like Hanson, he didn't know that the grifters had essentially "stolen" the dealer's identify. He went through the same steps as Hanson, in his case sending in a $3,000 deposit, including shipping charges. When a week had gone by and his truck still hadn't been delivered, he called the dealer.
"The dealer didn't know what I was talking about, and then said, 'Oh, you're not one of those people who got scammed, are you?' I said, 'What scam?'" recounted Dworschak.
Losing $3,000 was also a lot of money for Dworschack, given that his income is limited to his disability benefits and his wife only works part-time. "She has a car, but needs it for work, so, I guess it will still be a long time before I'm driving again."
Ultimately, how does one account for the blackness in the hearts of the sort of sociopaths who would do this kind of thing to the poor and disabled?
"That's what's so sad about this," laments Crawford, "the way these scammers target people who already have limited funds. Because if someone has more financial means, they are probably not likely to go to websites to find really cheap prices on re-possessed cars."
The criminals in the Memphis case have not yet been brought to justice.If you feel you are the victim of a scam like the one described above, please contact the Better Business Bureau by clicking here.

Distract Yourself With This
I've been busy grading papers lately (and then there's been that little matter of working on my Ph.D. research as well...) so in lieu of some real scientific activism, I'll direct you toward some of the more interesting things I've seen in the science blogosphere over the last couple of days.
- Over at The Intersection, Chris Mooney takes on President Bush's Science Advisor, John Marburger, after hearing a recent interview in which NPR "let Marburger off far too easily."
- William Connolley of the blog Stoat reports on the leaking of a draft of the upcoming report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (I first came across this one at A Concerned Scientist).
- Finally, Janet Stemwedel opens an interesting discussion at Adventures in Ethics and Science about what makes her qualified to comment on scientific issues. The natural question here, though, is what on earth makes me qualified to talk about all of these things? According to my resume, I think my anticipated degree from Oxford, distinguished future scientific career, expected Nobel Prize in Chemistry and/or Literature, and potential two-term presidency of the United States of America speak for themselves. Don't worry, though. If all of that doesn't pan out, I promise I'll remember to "update" my resume to make the necessary changes.

No matter how big your palette or eyeshadow collection, it can always be split into four categories. Looking at it logically, you can split the palette into more manageable chunks and get your head around the different tones on offer. This is the first place to start and ensures endless combinations and looks to create; the four different sections include:
1. Base
These include the pale shades and neutral tones that can be used to start your look. Understated taupes, pale pinks and creams can be used almost like a foundation for your eyes: they help to create a flawless base and a universal tone from which to work. They also help to neutralise any yellowness, redness or dullness that's naturally present on your lids, ensuring the shades applied over the top will pop as much as possible. On 'down days' I simply apply a wash of this colour, add a flick of eyeliner and lashings of mascara for an understated finish.
2. Contour
Slightly darker in colour, the contouring shades are often browns, greys or blues that bring the complete eyeshadow palette together. These are the 'mid range' tones that can be applied all over the lower lid or blended into the socket for subtle depth, complementing the base but equally working well with a darker shade. These are the hardest working colours and can be used delicately to build up a result; I tend to use a fluffy blending brush to gradually add a little more colour and ensure there's no obvious line between all the tones you add. You can revisit this section of colour when you've finished creating your look to ensure everything blends together perfectly.
3. Line
The darkest and most intense of all the shades within your palette are intended to line and frame the eye for a more impactful result. These tend to be the dark chocolate browns, the deep charcoal greys or the jet black tones with a slightly sparkly finish - using a precise or angled eyeshadow brush, pack the tip of the brush hairs with product and delicately pat along the upper and lower lash line. You can either smudge with your finger, buff with a blending brush or blend as you go by moving the brush upwards. Essentially these tones are designed to replace or complement a dark liner, so use them sparingly and have fun experimenting!
4. Highlight
Finally, most palettes contain a slightly shimmering tone that can be used to highlight the brow arch and create 'light and shade' around the eye. These shades can also be used in the inner corner of eyes to brighten and ensure your peepers look wide awake; the contrast between these tones and their much darker counterparts creates a really striking finish and a look that's seen on every celebrity going. It helps to create a professional finish and is the secret to a fabulous smokey eye - don't overlook these eyeshadows as being not quite your cup of tea!
The key to an eyeshadow palette is looking at it logically, not forcing yourself to use too many colours and having fun. Attempting to use every single shade within one look is a recipe for disaster, so simply pick one tone at a time and build your look up gradually. There are millions of youtube videos illustrating the best way to apply eyeshadow in a more comprehensive and efficient way than I could ever manage, but investing in a few great tools and having a touch of patience will ensure a fab result every time.
How do you use an eyeshadow palette? Do the shades overwhelm and confuse you, or do you just jump right in and start experimenting?

Appendix B incorrectly refers to a "cols" attribute. This attribute, being redundant with the COL and COLGROUP elements, was removed from the tables chapter, but not the appendix.

Macmillan is a charity very close to my heart, the care & support they provided for my Family was second to none in our time of need, which is why I'm honoured to be a part of the fundraising & helping to promote the event. It's an amazing opportunity to give something back to such an important cause, these fundraising events have a huge impact so lets make an even bigger difference this year. Getting together with friends, family or colleagues with a selection of delicious treats is a simple yet really effective way to raise money for a charity that goes above & beyond.
Pop down to your local M&S store on Friday 29th September for cake & coffee & know by doing this you're supporting a great cause, buy a slice & change a life. I'll be attending the Liverpool Coffee Morning to enjoy a sweet treat but to also to take a look at the other fundraising efforts the store have put together for the campaign.

Harry Belafonte Joins Stephen Colbert for Duet of 'Jamaica Farewell' (Video)
Continuing promotions for his memoir, Belafonte discussed the meaning behind "Day O" and indulged the "Colbert Report" host with a song.
Fresh off his alleged snooze during a satellite interview with a local news station in Bakersfield, Calif., Harry Belafonte made a lively appearance on The Colbert Report.
The 84-year-old singer sat down with Colbert to promote his new memoir, My Song, and touch on his career as an activist.
VIDEO: Harry Belafonte Falls Asleep on Live TV
Even seemingly silly songs like "Day O," forever immortalized in the Beetlejuice dinner party scene, have a political meaning.
"I must tell you that that song has an awful lot to do with the events of the day," says Belafonte. "It's a work song, a song about people doing grueling work on a plantation."
Then taking advantage of Belanfonte's admission that he still sings "on occasion," Colbert prompted the singer to join him for an abridged rendition of his hit "Jamaica Farewell."
As for his viral catnap, The Huffington Post reports Belafonte wasn't actually asleep. The audio wasn't working, and he was merely closing his eyes while he waited for his cue.

Take a tour of Frankel's mayoral bathroom
Less than two weeks until Election Day, it's Lois Frankel's mayoral bathroom that's making national headlines in the District 22 congressional race.
The Washington Post today previewed the race between Democrat Frankel and Republican Adam Hasner, highlighting Hasner's strategy to run a TV ad with a woman on a toilet saying Frankel's "gotta go."
The bathroom in Frankel's old West Palm Beach mayoral office first made headlines several years ago when the new city hall was under construction and a Palm Beach Post gossip columnist wrote that Frankel was installing a chic bathroom in her office.
So I took a tour of the bathroom on Tuesday which is now being occupied by Mayor Jeri Muoio.
Muoio, who was supported by Frankel in Muoio's mayoral run last year, said it was the architect, and not Frankel, who decided to install the $13,000 shower and bathroom in the mayor's office.

Our work
Operation Eyesight's focus is on countries where people are particularly threatened by blindness and low vision. Today, we work in India, Nepal and the African countries of Kenya, Ghana and Zambia. We're also expanding our programs to Nepal. In all of these countries, the conditions that lead to blindness are widespread and deeply rooted. Loss of sight can lead to abject poverty or even death.
But the good news is that most blindness – 80 percent! – can be prevented or cured. That is the core of our work.
