Baseball is Back
Although I am upset that the Rays vs Red Sox game was pushed tomorrow, it is only because I want my real Red Sox baseball back. Believe me, I don't want Josh Beckett pitching in the rain. He's already injury prone enough, and who knows, maybe blisters are more common in rainy conditions. Plus, this gives me a chance to provide an offensive breakdown of the Red Sox plus my thoughts on Opening Night/Day.
use he has actually played in them for a significant amount of time. Granted he didn't do that well, but he did have an impressive Spring. He is my project, therefore he will do well.

Read With Me Program- John Kelly School, Thermal
Riverside County- RSVP and Volunteer Connect Volunteer Programs
11 people are interested
We offer a field trip to the school that needs the volunteers by contracting with the school district to provide a bus. The school principal and, ideally, someone from the District Superintendent's office, welcomes them with coffee and nibbles. The principal explains the demographics of the area and stresses that the children need the opportunity to practice their reading with a person fluent in English who can help them with pronunciation and, most importantly, comprehension.
The volunteers indicate what grade level they would be interested in working with and the principal and aides escort them to individual classrooms, to introduce each volunteers to the teacher. The teacher chooses the book and the student(s) and the volunteer sit down with each child and encourages them in their reading.
When a volunteer decides to sign up, he or she signs a registration form at the school and indicates which day(s) of the week they want to come. After the first field trip, some people choose to drive but the majority sign up for the days of the week a bus is provided.

Another segment of a project The Rise and Fall of a Saloon In The Latter Part off The Twentieth Century. These excerpts are not chronological. In fact very little logic prevails…
A singular year…
A singular event…
A lasting effect…
George Bush (the elder) is president, Dan Quayle vice…
Gas is 1.22 a gallon.
First class postage was a quarter.
The first Gulf War will kick off in August
Dances With Wolves will take best picture that year.
And California passed a new law lowering the blood-alcohol limit.
"…California laws lowering the legal definition of DUI impairment to 0.08% BAC and requiring the immediate license suspension of persons violating that law have proven to be effective in reducing the incidence of alcohol-involved accidents, according to a recent California Department of Motor Vehicles' Research and Development Branch publication. In 1990, the 0.08% blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit and administrative license suspension laws were implemented in California and were expected to have a large potential for reducing the incidence of drunk driving. At the time, California was only the fourth state to introduce such a low BAC limit…"
Turn up the lights, the party's over. Well, not over…just severely wet blanketed.
The new law was immediately and vigorously enforced and the effects were brutal to the drinking populace.
What used to get you an overnight in jail and a hefty fine now got you jail, license restriction, heavy fines, legal fees and Traffic School.
Overnight, it got inconvenient and very expensive to get pulled over for a DUI.
Some, of course, kept on keeping on, gambling on getting caught. Some of them never got caught. The ones who got caught were very often the ones who said "They'll never catch me." But some did get caught and the horror stories abounded…
"Designated drivers" was tried out. This particular duty posting was educational when it came to seeing other people getting drunk while the D/D cannot. But it worked. Except in cases where the D/D got bored and had "just a couple"…
Since two beers just about put you at the edge and the hard liquor offerings being even more potent, the end result was that people couldn't risk getting inebriated.
So they spent less when they went out.
This meant less money to be made in the Saloon business…
True, there is a morality at work here. Carrie Nation's WCTU is still with us in spirit.
The idea is to keep the drunk driver off the road and as such it is a good idea. Drinking and driving is responsible for a lot of annual agony for a lot of people
Sure enough, toward that end, the new BAC limit worked and the numbers showed it.
But it really didn't keep drunk drivers off the road. But there were less of them.
However, the problem with drunk drivers is that they really think they can drive drunk.
Science hasn't found a cure for that yet. Ya can't fix stupidity.
Some 'drunks' can drive, obviously because not all drunk drivers (using the new .08 rule) get into accidents, get busted or get arrested. Some people, it could be said, were not all-over-the-road drunk if they tested to be .09. Technically, legally, 'drunk' but still very functional.
Unfortunately there are some seriously disfunctional drunks who drive regardless of fines, suspensions or probation. The only thing that will keep those guys off the road is death or jail.
We could try prohibition again but that didn't work the first time around and there was ample doubt it will survive another trial.
After all that is said and done the fact remains that saloons are a business and this new law had a real impact on everyone who worked in the industry. And it seemed to affect the media, too.
Suddenly the fun and friendly drunk was no longer an entertaining thing to have as a character on TV. Writers put fewer of them in scripts.
In the latter part of the twentieth century you had "show biz" people like Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin rightly calling themselves 'saloon singers'. They both made fortunes doing it. The glass in one hand, cigarette in the other always in a tuxedo or expensive suit. The image was promoted as something to ascribe to, to mimic, to join. But few people had the opportunity to see Frank and Dean in a caberet. Even fewer had a cabaret to go to that warranted a tuxedo so the Sinatra/Martin Vegas swinger look was largely fantasy.
"Cheers" the sitcom based on a saloon, closed in 1993. True, it went into syndication but it closed its doors.
It was almost as if your parents had come home, caught you being bad and really put The Clamp on drinkage as punishment.
One of the regular Liar's Dice players was a defense attorney who let it be known that handling DUI's was his specialty and enjoyed the position of drinking heartily and playing dice with those destined to be his clients. The Bar became his office in some ways.
No matter what kind of morality is at stake here, the fact remains that the legal limit being tied to .08 BAC had a definite impact on the income of saloons like The Bar.
One part of the industry fought back and is still fighting as of this writing.
The brewers.
The beer guys.
Gone are the tuxedoes. Now it's jeans, a turned around baseball cap to cover the bald spot, am untucked tee shirt to cover the bulge and navel lint and a Budweiser. The brand may vary but the message in the commercials is the same. The guy who drinks this stuff and dresses that way is the guy who gets the babes.
Beer advertisers have divided the world into two camps.
One group is the football loving beer drinkers and the people who drive Detroit's gas guzzling T-Rex's, the pickup trucks and SUV's.
The other group is 'Everybody Else.'
And it is the first group who control the sports industry and sports channels. Because it is those people who control the Remote.
The beauty of this to the breweries is that the beer drinker might be at the event itself but far more of them are usually at home watching the game on TV. All drinking beer.
Some "sports bars" draw business based on sports but it now took a close race between teams to make the customer risk driving home from a bar after sitting for three and a half hours drinking beer with the New Law in effect.
But the guy drinking at home doesn't have to worry about that.
A saloon does worry about it. They have to because the guy at home is not spending money in the saloons including The Bar.
A second salvo to the industry was the record/play visual media… the rise of the VCR. and it's offspring the DVD.
The effect this New Toy had on the business took longer to impact. In fact it just kinda slid in there on the sneak…
We let it in because, hey, you could record shows to watch at another time. You could record a favorite show, go out and party and watch the favorite show later. Helluva deal!
It seemed like an innocent thing that blossomed into a meteoric success.
But the new machine had a more compelling trick.
Now you could actually rent a recent movie, order a pizza delivery and watch the movie from home!
This meant you didn't have to get dressed, drive, spend money on a dinner… pay cover charge and pay more money for alchohol per drink that you could have at home much, much cheaper.
You didn't have to risk rejection or otherwise complicating your life or risk embarrassing yourself. No traffic problems, parking hassles and best of all, no cops…no DUI hassles.
And if you had a squeeze, a lover, why, watching a movie at home put you near a bed. Very handy if the Carnal Urge came upon you. There was the plus of your being able to pause the movie while you indulged in joyful fornication or made a trip to the fridge or to the john…
So what Satchel Paige called "the social ramble" was curtailed.
True, sitting on the couch at home couldn't match the fun and excitement of The Bar on a good band night… the pheremonic smells in the air, the noise and the lights, the extremely flattering glow of dim lights and candles on the tables that do wonders to a girl's makeup… the loud bands, their sound deafening yet at the same time comforting. The dancing… feeling and being felt…
People still went out, to taste that, to remember that, but as they got older they went out less. They got married. Stayed home more. Whoever said two could live as cheaply as one was a damn liar and one of the first budget cuts made in a household funding is usually Entertainment.
Things changed in the Saloon business…
You still had your crop of new drinkers but they were more cautious and post-college carousing suddenly lost its appeal in light of the promised pillorying that a DUI would bring. And to catch the new batch you had to find a way to adapt to them without alienating your "regulars", a daunting task and a largely impossible one because musical tastes change and the new guy's music is seldom appreciated by 'the regulars' And your 'regulars' are getting older.
How did that happen?
A saloon's life is short. They peak fast.
You only have a little time to be The New Kid On The Block and suddenly, it seems, you start pining for 'the good old days'.
A dry season is upon the Serengeti of Saloondom
And the new law guaranteed that a Saloon, be it New Kid or Fogeybar, was going to have a smaller, more cautious herd to feed on.

Frances Power Cobbe (1822-1904)
The Anglo-Irish writer Frances Power Cobbe was a founder of the animal rights movement. She also campaigned for women's suffrage and social reform. She was a forceful character - even her critics acknowledged her 'superabundant energy, absolute self-conviction and inextinguishable eloquence'. Cobbe's protest was initially prompted by animal experiments she witnessed in Florence in 1863 when she worked as the Italian correspondent for the London Daily News. In subsequent decades Cobbe enrolled supporters both in Britain and the US. In 1875 she founded the Society for the Protection of Animals Liable to Vivisection. The protests of the early animal-rights movement led to the Cruelty to Animals Act of 1876, which regulated animal experimentation.
But Cobbe was disappointed with the Act's long-term effects, which she considered detrimental. The numbers of animal experiments had actually risen since the introduction of the Act, she argued 12 years later. The act exempted physiologists from prosecution under earlier laws to protect animals from cruelty so long as they adhered to the regulations and obtained a government licence. Cobbe remained sceptical of scientific medicine because she felt it made people insensitive to things like suffering or beauty. Science, she said, 'has given us many precious things, but [it] takes away things more precious still'.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Some churches struggling with shrinking attendance are shortening their traditional Sunday services, promising to get a generation with limited attention spans out the door in as little as 30 minutes.
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Some churches struggling with shrinking attendance are shortening their traditional Sunday services, promising to get a generation with limited attention spans out the door in as little as 30 minutes.
These abbreviated ceremonies are an innovation that leaders hope will lure back the enormous numbers of young people who avoid Sundays at church. With distractions such as the Internet and a weak connection to the faith of their childhoods, many are steering clear, to the dismay of religious leaders who desperately want them back.
"We are increasingly aware of the time pressures on families, and they have been telling us that the traditional service is too long for them," said the Rev. Chip Stokes of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Delray Beach, Fla. "We recognize that things are changing and we have to be more adaptive without losing our core."
St. Paul's recently introduced Family Eucharist, a 30-minute service designed for children up to fourth grade and their parents, as an alternative to the church's 90-minute traditional service. Stokes said he is thrilled with attendance: About 40 parents and kids have attended each week since the service started last month, and participants even include some people who don't have children but seek a shorter worship session.
This trend reaches across denominations: Trinity Lutheran Church in Pembroke Pines, Fla., has a service of about 50 minutes targeted at young people on Sunday mornings.
Roman Catholics have long accommodated hurried worshipers at daily Mass. Recognizing they are often on the way to work or taking a lunch break, priests keep some Masses to less than 45 minutes.
"When you don't give a daily homily, it cuts 10 minutes," said the Rev. Gabriel O'Reilly of St. David's Catholic Church in Davie, Fla.
But not everyone supports the trend toward briefer worship sessions.
"The Lord gives us 24 hours a day, seven days a week," said Karen Turnbull, a lay leader at St. Vincent Ferrer Catholic Church in Delray Beach. "And he's asking us for only one hour to come to church."
Turnbull said she attends Sunday Mass with her son and daughter-in-law, plus two young granddaughters.
"It's hard for them to sit still. But you have to start teaching a little discipline at a young age," she said.
Eastern Orthodox churches also have no plans to abbreviate their services, which can top more than two hours each Sunday.
"Services are meant to be spiritual; they're meant to be sensory; that takes time," said James Carras, a member of St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. "When I go to church, it takes a while to get into the zone, to let go of business or how the Dolphins are doing. The liturgy helps guide you into that zone."
But leaders of churches trying the shortened approach hope these condensed ceremonies present over-scheduled families and time-deprived adults with an incentive to return to religion.
The 2012 Millennial Values Survey found a quarter of 18-to-24-year-olds identify themselves as religiously unaffiliated, even though only 11 percent were raised without a faith. Catholics and mainline Protestants, including Episcopalians, are seeing the largest number of young people leaving the faiths they grew up with.
Parishioners at St. Paul's hope innovations that meet the needs of the younger set stem further departures and even attract new members. Over the summer, the church started a new group called SEEK(ers), or Spiritual Exploration and Evolving Knowledge, for 20- and 30-somethings looking for a religious home.
They also hope the half-hour Family Eucharist on Sundays, accompanied by a mid-week video to be shown at home, shows their commitment to the young. The service is informal, with piano instead of organ for instrumentation and folk-type music instead of traditional hymns. Kids are welcome to make noise, cry or be jittery.
Parishioner Jacqueline Barker said she always sits in the back during the adult service at St. Paul's, ready to make a quick exit if her 3-year-old and 5-year-old get noisy. She said the Family Eucharist allows her boys to pay attention for the whole service and also participate.
Parent Mary Whittemore said she loves having a choice between taking her 10-year-old daughter to the traditional 10 a.m. service or Family Eucharist at 10:45 a.m.
"It's a great gateway for children to be exposed to church in a more casual way," Whittemore said. "If a kid starts screaming, it's fine. The church I grew up in was not like that."

Iran test-fired its most advanced missiles Monday -- weapons that are capable of carrying nuclear warheads to Israel, U.S. bases in the Middle East and parts of Europe.
Iran's Revolutionary Guard successfully tested the Shahab-3 missile, which could carry a warhead with a range of 1,200 miles, Iranian-based English-language Press TV reported Monday morning. Iran tested medium and short-range missiles on Sunday.
The muscle-flexing followed last week's accusation by President Obama and European leaders that Tehran has been hiding a nuclear plant that Obama said is "inconsistent" with peaceful applications. Iran's state-run media said the tests were aimed at showing how it will counter potential attacks by the U.S. or Israel.
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said the tests show the need for a strong missile defense system. The Obama Administration recently scrapped plans to put missile defense bases in Poland and the Czech Republic, but said it is committed to a missile defense plan in the region.
"These were preplanned military exercises. I think - I would lump any of these into the provocative nature with which Iran has acted on the world stage for a number of years," Gibbs said.
The demonstrations came as six world powers, including the U.S., Russia and China, prepare to meet with Iran to discuss its nuclear program this week in Switzerland. Iran has offered wide-ranging security talks but says it will not discuss its nuclear "rights."
Obama last week warned of "sanctions that bite" if Iran continues what he called a pattern of evasion on its nuclear program.

Most of us would like to think that when our days on this earth are completed, somebody will remember good things about us. My father was certainly no exception.
C.H., as we affectionately called him, was a most unique person. He was "the glass is three-quarters full," an optimist tempered with a healthy dose of reality. Daddy had a joke or story for every situation and, typically, could make his point with humor. While he got a charge from anecdotes leaning to the naughty side, his was an equal opportunity sense of humor that sought to make a point by using anecdotes we would remember. Oftentimes, though, his jokes were simply told to have fun.
Daddy loved people. Having been a pharmacist for over 60 years and a lifelong Barrow County resident, he knew a lot of people. For the most part, people loved him, as well. Oh, I'm sure there were a few around that he'd rubbed the wrong way, but he had earned a widespread respect for his giving nature, his sincere caring for others, and his deep and abiding Christian faith.

EncodeFolder = "C:\some_folder_I_choose\Encoding"
This line tells Quenc where to save it's encodes. If you want the work files and the finished file to be in entirely unrelated folders, then it gets a lot harder.

Add borders without converting to mpg
Hi all, I just wanted to ask; How do I add the borders without converting the file to MPG? My DVD player plays AVi files fine, but I still get the annoying overscan problem, so I need to add the borders. However, I think I should be able to fit more eps per DVD-R if I leave the files in AVI format, so that's the reason for my question.
Thank you,

A: This usually means that for some reason BeSweet didn't run (or choked on the audio file). Probably the best thing to do in this case is to use VirtualDub to extract the audio as a WAV file from the AVI file. To so, open the source video in VirtualDub and then:
1. Select "Full processing mode" from the Audio menu.
2. Select "Compression" from the Audio menu, and select "No compression".
3. Select "Save WAV file" from the File menu. Save it with the exact same name as the source video (but with .wav extension) in the same folder as the source video.
4. Run the batch file again. BeSweet should now encode succesfully from the WAV file.
Well i got pass this problem.. because i missed one of the programs..
Either way right now im stuck on, Multiplex Phase.
i get error: [???] Unable to read from D:\DVDStudio\Encoding\[DB]_Bleach_90_[CD4E0950].m2v
Fatal Error: MPG not file found after multiplexing.

Meh? I don't have 30 GB of free space at the moment, nor do I have any idea how to compress the video anyway. On top of that, VirtualDubMod keeps saying that it can't handle the files I'm trying to do, so I think I need to download the other stuff it said that I didn't have when I installed it. All in all, this is really starting to seem like a lot more trouble than it's worth.

Just use avisynth and add borders to it and then frameserve to virtualdub.
If you do not know how to do it read the avisynth manual, look for addborders.
In virtualdub choose "fast recompress" and chose a codec, i.e. xvid.
In case of xvid you can either do a 2 pass, fixed bitrate or
use the fix quantizer option, hint use the inbuild calculator.

using is avisynth is the best way. if that doesnt work try my way. also i forgot one part to the problem when saving the avi. go to save as and on the bottom put on full processing and for the compression use the divx codec. download it if u have to. when using divx there is goin to be water mark on the bottem right corner but dissapears in a minute.
or u could avisynth. here is a site with a little help http://www.videohelp.com/forum/archive/t277705.html
but you want to resize the avi first. just put this script:
on top of the "add border". for widescreen you change the settings to the statement earlier. hope you figure it and enjoy some anime and be able to read the subtitles.

Bishoujo Lover!
I have a problem... I have downloaded anime episode in .mkv format with dual audio: Japanese and English. Now, when I encode it it encode only with the english audio but, I want it to encode it with the japanese audio instead.
I tryed to use VirtualDub but it doesn't accepts mkv files so, I'm stuck. Can someone help me?
Nevermind, I could solve the problem. Thanks, anyway. I case someone is wondering I used the mkvmerge program inside the apps folder of the Queue For Encoding. Just load the .mkv file and select the audio, video and subs you want and have the program merge them. It also works with .ogm files.
I take back what I said... Thought the .mkv files had one only audio when I tryed to encode it, the program would not encode the audio.
SOLVED! SOLVED! This time, it seems it will be for real

The point of course is that error shouldn't be there... I've fixed it now.
(the issue was caused by an upgrade from PHP 4 to PHP 5 last week, which broke how this script worked)

Awesome, i've been looking for something like this for awhile to fix that over-scan problem (which I'll admit I didn't even realize that was the problem lol)
I'm about to try this out, but I have a couple questions before I do, and yes I've read through the thread and site faq (though I skimmed a little on the thread)
1. Do the borders show when you burn it to dvd? I'd assume not, and even if it did I guess you could fix it by trial and error with resizing then re-encoding the borders. Right?
2. Has anyone tried and can confirm the way to burn the 16x9 files w/o letterbox works? I know GHDpro (btw thanks a lot for making this) said to just use the full screen settings for the 16x9 settings, but I was wondering if anyone has tried that and can confirm it works on a 16x9 tv (which I have)
Like I said, I am going to try this out later myself, but I only have a few DvDs right now to actually burn the playable DvDs, and it'll be a week or so before I can get more so i'd rather not mess it up. (Really need to get some RWs when I can)
Thank you
Edit: Just to clarify, I have a widescreen tv that plays 1.85:1 Anamorphic Widescreen (without any letter boxes; not sure if that varries per tv but I doubt it does) and some anime in widescreen resolutions (well, I think) which are 640x360 and 704x396 (thinking about going and trying the 1280x720 version too, but that doesn't really play on my PC...) that i'd like to burn.

1) If you set the borders right (which might take some tweaking) they shouldn't be visible.
It's indeed a trial-and-error process, and if your DVD player supports it I suggest using RW discs.
Note that if you play the DVD on your PC, the borders will be VERY visible...
but there's no way around that.
2) I said "afaik" in the comment, but actually I've been using anamorphic encoding
for all 16:9 for quite a while. These play fine on my widescreen TV, though I do have to
manually set the TV in the right mode.
Note that DVD has a resolution of only 720x480 or something like that btw, so while you
could encode 1280x720 anime to DVD, you'll be downsizing it. Of course, it'll be a while before
I'll put out a HD-DVD or Bly Ray DVD version of my guide

Well, good thing is my dvd player does support RWs (hence the thing about needing to pick some up when I can) so i'm definately going to use that for the (possible) fine-tuning.
By the "anamorphic encoding" I assume you mean with the ful-screen settings for widescreen anime correct? It isn't that big of a deal to have to set my tv to the right mode, especially since it is normally in that mode anyways lol. As for the downsizing, I wouldn't really mind that too much, but since those files don't even play on my PC properly, I think i'll pass on that and just stick with the "low quality" files I have lol.
I wonder how hard it would be to change the settings around in the ini and scripts and such to an HQ/Blu-Ray version... but, since the programs like avisynth probably don't even support that... and of course you'd need an authoring prog capable of burning in HD resolutions and such too lol
Oh well, thanks for the help. I'm going to try encoding one as a test and see if it works, though I really need to get some RWs in case it doesn't work right.
Edit: So i'm burning one now after encoding it and all... hopefully it'll work right. The borders are plainly visible on the PC, and the picture is slightly distorted (like it should be I guess) so we'll see in a little when it is done. I'm a little concerned the border is too big though, it looks a lot smaller in your example pic thingy from the first page of the guide. So i'm thinking I may have to fine tune that some... but we'll see when it is done burning.
Again, thank you for making this and the help. Its really simple to use, which is always a plus even if you know how to do use comand lines and such.
Edit2: Ok, so after burning it and all (making sure the authoring was set to 16x9) it plays great. However, I'm going to have to tweak some borders around. The top border is fine, The bottom could be moved down a couple pixels (shrinking it I assume), and the left and right are just way off... like my tv was the 4:3 mode still, when it was in 16x9. It still looked a little shrunk horizontally, even with double checking all the settings.
So, since the encoding for me takes so long (like an hour for a 24min ep >_< using the QuEnc) what is the format for the border size? Like Top, Left, Bottom, Right?
If you could maybe give me any other tips/ideas for getting the horizontal to be more of a 16x9 rather then 4:3?
Also, I was wondering how to run the mkv extract prog. I think I have some subs (NOT dual audio though, I stay away from liscensed things) with AC3 audio, which your FAQ says besweet wont handle, nor will your scripts... But, I can't find that "MKVExtract GUI" that you say in the FAQ will work for extracting the .mkv files. Where can I find that? Or how do I run from a command line the extract? (I'm familar with DOS and command lines)
Edit 3: Ok, i'm such a huge baka... I totally had the wrong settings for the encode. I basically did a carbon copy of the 4:3 settings, NOT just changing the border size.
Besides that I still had the encode in QuEnc for 4:3, same for the .bat and php file... Though I can't find the aspect ratio thing in the php... but I have NO clue where to look for that since I know nothing about php, and a search of the ini file in the php folder doesn't yeild anything for aspect, ratio, 4, 3, or any combination.
So if you could point me in a better direction for thati'd be greatful. I'm going to try re-encoding with the changes in the .bat and just using the border size rather then a carbon copy and see if that works (by comparing the old file still on my hd to the new, not burning it). Editing each .bat file will be a pain if I can't find the php thing, if that is what I have to do though... well, better then not being able to burn period right?

Afaik the border format was Left,Top,Right,Bottom. But you can actually preview this:
just drag the .AVS file that is in the \DVDStudio\Encoding\AVS\ folder into a videoplayer
and it should show a preview (try this on a file without built-in subtitles).
Here are my border settings btw:
FullScreenBorder = 52,32,28,28 CCETemplateFS = "Fullscreen" WideScreenBorder = 52,20,24,8 CCETemplateWS = "Widescreen"
and not to burn permanently (ie: I use RW al the time), I don't really care much. You'll also
notice the left border is much wider than the right: this is because when I view DVDs using
a RGB cable on my PC the picture is shift to the left. I use the borders to get around this.
As for the aspect ratio with QuEnc... it's still hardcoded into the scripts to make all of the
output files 4:3. I personally use CCE where have to specify aspect ratio in a template.
To change the aspect ratio for QuEnc (permanently, there is no option for it yet, sorry)
you need to edit the "queue.php" file in the \DVDStudio\Scripts\Source\ folder. Search for a line
with the following text using the "find" function of your (plain) text editor
-gopsize 12 -maxbframes 2 -aspectratio 4:3 -mpeg2mux
I suppose I don't need to explain what you need to change in that line. Note that the line
occurs 2 times btw, and you have to edit it in both spots. Also if you want to encode normal
4:3 anime after that, you have to change it back again -- sorry about that.
As for MKVExtractGUI... Google it. It's not included with my scripts (only the command line
version "mkvextract.exe" is).

Adele is convinced her voice is weaker because she has quit smoking.
The 28-year-old singer made the decision to stop inhaling nicotine sticks five years ago, as she embarked on a healthy lifestyle change after a vocal cord hemorrhage in 2011 led to her having surgery.
While Adele looks noticeably better for calling time on her habit, she has revealed in a new interview that she believes kicking the cigarettes had actually adversely affected her vocal skills.
"The people with the best voices, they always smoke. I've given up smoking and I'm convinced that's made my voice weaker," she is quoted as telling Canada's etalk.
At the height of her addiction, Adele smoked up to 25 cigarettes a day. But after quitting the habit, the Hello singer told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper she had given up because she was afraid smoking would eventually kill her.
"If I'd carried on smoking, I'd probably have died from a smoking-related illness, and I think that's really bad," she said. "If I was dying from lung cancer I would have potentially given it to myself and that wouldn't be something I'd be proud of."
Adele hit headlines earlier this week when she dedicated her concert at New York's Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night (20Sep16) to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, after it was revealed the actress had filed for divorce from her husband.
However, as she took to the stage at the venue again on Thursday night (22Sep16), Adele set the record straight and told the audience she had been joking about saying that the Brangelina split represented the "end of an era".
"I don't care if they've broken up. I couldn't give a f****ing s**t," she said. "I don't care, I don't know them. It's ridiculous, what's going on in the world, and that's front-page news."© Cover Media

Editor's note: This is Part 2 of a multi-part series on child pornography on Facebook. You can read Part 1 here. Read Part 3 here. And Part 4 here. Media wishing to interview WND's Chelsea Schilling can contact us here.
(EXPLICIT CONTENT: This report contains graphic details of sexual abuse of children as it has appeared in numerous locations on Facebook. WND immediately reported images of child pornography and child sexual abuse to the FBI. Censored screenshots published are among the mildest of those found.)

In a dark attic, a little girl, no older than 9, appears with a distrustful look on her face as she wears only a training bra. She glimpses the camera out of the corner of her eye. The many comments under her photo are telling:
"So cute!" one man declares.
"Oh yes, that's right," says another.
She is only one of 40 other preteen girls on a single profile who are dressed in sexy swimsuits, bras or nothing at all.

It is just one photo among thousands of explicit images and videos of child sexual exploitation – all available on the social network 901 million users have come to know and love, Facebook. Most of America's users have no idea that the social network is home to an enormous collection of unreported child pornography and sexual violence.
Read Chelsea Schilling's personal account of her heart-wrenching and hard-hitting investigation into child pornography on Facebook.
As WND previously reported, most of these predators aren't merely looking at child pornography images. A 2007 Federal Bureau of Prisons study in which psychologists conducted an in-depth survey of online offenders' sexual behavior, revealed that 85 percent of convicted Internet offenders said they had committed acts of sexual abuse against minors, from inappropriate touching to rape.
The U.S. Department of Justice explains:
Unfortunately, the child pornography market exploded in the advent of the Internet and advanced digital technology. The Internet provides ground for individuals to create, access, and share child sexual abuse images worldwide at the click of a button. … Child pornography offenders can connect on Internet networks and forums to share their interests, desires, and experiences abusing children in addition to selling, sharing, and trading images.
Moreover, online communities have promoted communication between child pornography offenders, both normalizing their interest in children and desensitizing them to the physical and psychological damages inflicted on child victims. Online communities may also attract or promote new individuals to get involved in the sexual exploitation of children.

Facebook's response to child pornography reports
As part of an undercover news investigation, WND used alias Facebook profiles and located dozens of child-porn images after "friending" many likely pedophiles and predators who trade thousands of pornographic photos on the social network. WND immediately reported graphic images of children and sex abuse to the FBI.
Other photos and videos of young children wearing G-strings and posing provocatively were reported to Facebook first to test the social network's response.
Advertisement - story continues below
Early in the investigation, Facebook was slow to remove photos or profiles – and, in some cases, didn't appear to act at all. After three weeks of observation, some newly reported profiles were removed within 48 hours. However, most explicit videos and interest groups remain on the social network today, and new pedophile profiles are astonishingly simple to locate.
Despite repeated requests over the course of almost two months, Facebook did not respond to phone calls and emails from WND about the numerous images and videos shared by its users of children being sexually abused or posing nude. However, after Part 1 of this series was published, the social network provided a brief, emailed statement that WND posted here.
(Several news outlets reported a similar Facebook response just months ago following a deluge of complaints about its many pages promoting and joking about rape.)
Raymond Bechard, author of "The Berlin Turnpike: A True Story of Human Trafficking in America," launched Men Against Prostitution And Trafficking, the first anti-human trafficking political action committee in the U.S. He has used alias Facebook profiles to find child predators and turn them over to federal authorities.

"If you report the images to Facebook, its system is woefully inadequate and extremely unresponsive to reporting a crime of this nature," Bechard told WND. "You report it to Facebook, and you really don't know if anything has happened. There's no response – ever – and then you have to go back and see if it's ever been removed. If a photo/video link does disappear, and they do take it down, you have no way of telling whether the crime you have witnessed has been reported to law enforcement."
In one case, nearly 80 photos of a young girl, about 8 years old, revealed a child posing in hot-pink thong underwear and climbing a tree. The girl spread her legs as the photographer took pictures of her buttocks and crotch area while standing only one or two feet from the young subject.
When WND reported the photos to the social network by phone and its online application on March 20, Facebook neither returned calls nor removed the images. The photos were still there on April 3 – when WND notified the FBI.
Within 24 hours of filing a report with the FBI, the entire user profile was removed.

FBI officials responding to reports of child porn on Facebook were courteous and helpful. However, WND asked FBI spokeswoman Jenny Shearer whether Facebook reports child pornography to authorities and readily cooperates with investigations.
"We don't talk about our working relationships with private industry, so I can't offer a comment," Shearer told WND, refusing to discuss law-enforcement dealings with Facebook or Twitter in cases of child pornography.
Asked whether social media is becoming a magnet for child porn, Shearer replied, "It seems that people use social networking sites for all sorts of interests, including those that may involve, unfortunately, predation of children."

In its "Statement of Rights and Responsibilities," Facebook tells users: "You will not post content that: is hateful, threatening, or pornographic; incites violence; or contains nudity or graphic or gratuitous violence."
In a twist of irony, the social network blocked WND's alias accounts due to "security reasons" immediately after dozens of images and videos of child sexual abuse were reported by those accounts. In many cases, the reported content had been posted for months and had been viewed and shared by dozens or even hundreds of pedophiles.
Removing photos: 'It's like chasing cockroaches'
Richard Lepoutre has been actively involved in the fight to protect children from sexual abuse for more than 25 years and is the co-founder of the fight against pedophiles on Facebook with the Stop Child Porn on Facebook campaign. He also wages the battle against commercial sexual exploitation through his work at the Stop Online Exploitation Campaign and Men Against Prostitution and Trafficking.

"The futility of this is that, as you are reporting that individual image and trying so hard to get it taken down, it is, of course, being replicated hundreds and perhaps thousands of times in all sorts of other locations," he explained. "It doesn't really go away. As long as it's up there, there are other exchange partners and other profiles that are grabbing this image. While you can ask for it to be taken down in one place under one profile, it's very likely that it continues to propagate digitally. The real issue here is preventing the photo from getting up there in the first place."
Lepoutre said "this community of perverts and criminals" has its own "viral" phenomenon.
"You can be sure a prized photo that shows up at some point is distributed and shared probably thousands of times within hours," he said. "It's like chasing cockroaches. You think you're getting them, but the image is like a proverbial cockroach that just clones and clones and clones. It's hiding and it's all over the place. You turn on the light and they scatter. But just because you don't see them, doesn't mean they're not there."
The U.S. Department of Justice notes: "[V]ictims of child pornography suffer not just from the sexual abuse inflicted upon them to produce child pornography, but also from knowing that their images can be traded and viewed by others worldwide. Once an image is on the Internet, it is irretrievable and can continue to circulate forever. The permanent record of a child's sexual abuse can alter his or her live forever. Many victims of child pornography suffer from feelings of helplessness, fear, humiliation, and lack of control given that their images are available for others to view in perpetuity."

During the course of their work, Bechard and Lepoutre have reported numerous images and profiles to Facebook. While accounts and links to child-pornographic material may be deactivated by the website, many pedophiles reappear within weeks or even days, they said. In such cases, the repeat offenders repost their massive albums of abuse.
"Why aren't they preventing it from being posted in the first place?" Bechard asked. "And what are they doing to investigate where it came from? Is there any data mining they can do to find out if they're coming from one place in particular? Why not aim resources at this to truly investigate it the way this level of crime deserves to be investigated?"
Lepoutre listed names of some of the largest adult video pornography websites in the world. The material for the websites is submitted and uploaded by individuals, much like the process for posting videos on YouTube or Facebook.
"You can go to any of the huge porn sites and you will not find child pornography on those websites," he said. "It stands to reason that they have the means and technology and apparently the motivation not to allow child pornography to be uploaded. Therefore, technically speaking, and from a resource perspective, why can't Facebook do just as well as the major porn sites?"

Foreign screeners making $1/hour?
Facebook has divulged very little about its content screening process. However, on Feb. 16, the news blog Gawker.com reported that it had interviewed Amine Derkaoui, a 21-year-old Moroccan man who claimed to have spent weeks training to screen illicit Facebook content through the California-based outsourcing firm oDesk.
Derkaoui said he was paid $1 an hour.
According to Gawker, Derkaoui provided some internal documents explaining how Facebook censors its content.
Advertisement - story continues below
He said the content moderation team used a Web-based tool to view photos, videos and wall posts reported by Facebook users. The moderators have a choice between three actions: 1) confirm the flag and delete the content, 2) unconfirm it and let the content stay or 3) escalate the content to a higher level of moderation for examination by Facebook employees.
A copy of Facebook's cheat sheet he provided is available here.
"After acing a written test and an interview, [Derkaoui] was invited to join an oDesk team of about 50 people from all over the third world – Turkey, the Philippines, Mexico, India – working to moderate Facebook content," Gawker explained. "They work from home in 4-hour shifts and earn $1 per hour plus commissions (which, according to the job listing, should add up to a 'target' rate of around $4 per hour)."
According to the report, the job posting made no mention of Facebook. Derkaoui also said his oDesk managers never openly said Facebook was the client. However, Gawker noted, a Facebook spokesman confirmed the social network was oDesk's client.

Other sources claiming to have been Facebook moderators complained about the nature of their work cleaning up the website.
"Think like that there is a sewer channel," one person said during a Skype chat with the blog, "and all of the mess/dirt/waste/sh-t of the world flow towards you and you have to clean it."
Another person quit after only three weeks of moderating.
"Pedophelia, necrophelia, beheadings, suicides, etc," he recalled. "I left [because] I value my mental sanity."

When WND asked Facebook about this report, a Facebook spokesman responded with the following statement:
"In an effort to quickly and efficiently process the millions of reports we receive every day, we have found it helpful to contract third parties to provide precursory classification of a small proportion of reported content. These contractors are subject to rigorous quality controls and we have implemented several layers of safeguards to protect the data of those using our service. Additionally, no user information beyond the content in question and the source of the report is shared.We have, and will continue, to escalate the most serious reports internally, and all decisions made by contractors are subject to extensive audits.
"We are constantly improving our processes and review our contractors on an ongoing basis. This document provides a snapshot in time of our standards with regards to one of those contractors, for the most up to date information please visit Facebook.com/CommunityStandards."
Facebook and PhotoDNA
Advertisement - story continues below
Both the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, or NCMEC, and Facebook tout the use of PhotoDNA software to combat child pornography. PhotoDNA creates a digital code to represent a particular image – a sort of fingerprint or signature – and locates that exact image within large data sets. The tool is capable of finding specific images, even if they have been altered.
Microsoft donated the software to the NCMEC in December 2009. Just last year, Facebook began using PhotoDNA to hunt for thousands of registered illegal images uploaded by its users. The software had a detection accuracy of 99.7 percent in tests. It finds and removes only known, reported and specific images of sexual exploitation of pre-pubescent children.
Chris Sonderby, Facebook's associate general counsel, was a prosecutor with the U.S. Department of Justice for 12 years. From 2006 until mid-2010, Sonderby served as the DOJ's representative in Asia based at the U.S. embassy in Bangkok, where he worked with U.S. and foreign law-enforcement authorities on large-scale transnational criminal matters. Before his tour in Bangkok, Sonderby served as chief of the Computer Hacking and Intellectual Property unit of the U.S. Attorney's office in San Jose, Calif.
He declared in a May 20, 2011, livestream event titled "Facebook D.C. Live: Protecting Kids Online":
Advertisement - story continues below
PhotoDNA is truly a game-changing technology in this fight, and we're very excited for the opportunity to apply it on our site and really be successful in significantly reducing the amount of child exploitation images that are allowed to proliferate. In our case, we intend to put the technology to use against between 200 and 300 million photo images that are uploaded to Facebook every day. So the technology will allow us to block their upload, to prevent their distribution and the revictimization of the children who are depicted in those images, and it will also allow us to immediately refer and report those instances to law enforcement so they can take immediate action. We really think again that this is a game changer and we're thrilled to be a part of this partnership and looking forward to continuing to work together on this.
Michelle Collins, vice president for the exploited children division at NCMEC, told WND, "I really feel like in the industry … while certainly the problem continues to grow, so does the response of many of the companies and certainly the response of law enforcement."
Collins added, "We have a lot of voluntary initiatives with large companies here in the U.S. where we will provide them with PhotoDNA, in which they look specifically for child pornography images so they can remove them. It's like locating a needle in a haystack. They have so many images coming through their servers. They utilize technology that allows them to identify and pull out those images that are known to be illegal child pornography images."
She said "a broader adoption of PhotoDNA by large companies would be very beneficial in terms of eliminating child pornography from their servers."

However, Microsoft DNA does not locate and remove new photos of abuse. It only finds images that have been identified and listed in a NCMEC database of photos.
Furthermore, the image-matching technology does not locate videos of child sexual abuse for removal.
In one of Facebook's own new releases on the subject, it stated: "[PhotoDNA] won't be able to identify new pictures of child pornography nor will it tag your typical child photos as pornography. It will only catch those already known by the NCMEC."
Lepoutre said the social network's use of PhotoDNA software is a positive step, but it is not a "proactive effort" to prevent photos from appearing on Facebook in the first place:
Advertisement - story continues below
"I would ask: How is chasing down a picture that is already out there with PhotoDNA 'proactive'? What a bunch of PR bullsh-t! Isn't that amazing? Perhaps there are some people eyeballing some stuff in Morocco, but none of it is 'proactive.'"
Asked about this PhotoDNA limitation, Collins told WND: "It is true. In order for a PhotoDNA signature to be generated, you need to have the image. We do, of course, see new images and new videos appearing online."
She added, "People 20 years ago would have to risk exposure by trying to find individuals who had the same sexual interests in children. With the Internet and these tools, it's easy for people to feel cloaked in anonymity and be able to normalize and validate their sexual interests in children by talking to people all around the globe. It certainly fuels the production of more images and videos."
Facebook responds to lawmaker inquiry
Advertisement - story continues below
In an Aug. 4, 2011, email to a congressional staffer in the office of Rep. John Larson, D-Conn., Facebook responded to an inquiry on the topic of child pornography on its website. It stated:
There are several mechanisms we utilize at Facebook to surface [child pornography] material and distributors. I have included some of our protections here:
- Deploy sophisticated technology to detect groups, both open and closed, that pertain to child abuse in any form, including work with leaders in the technology industry to collaboratively develop new technologies
- This is over and above our existing technologies that monitor and flag suspicious behavior by individuals
- This includes those obvious terms, but also codes and descriptors that these groups often use to avoid being detected
- All of this technology is supplemented by expert human eyes and ears constantly searching and shutting down groups and blocking users
- We identify the most up-to-date words and techniques used by child abuse rings/groups through expert insight from NCMEC and Interpol
- We also work in conjunction with CEOP/NCMEC to share information and flag cases in rare instances of specific concern
Nothing is more important to Facebook than the safety of the people that use our site and this material has absolutely no place on Facebook.
Unfortunately, people have attempted to use technology to distribute illegal and deeply offensive content from the earliest days of the public Internet. We have zero tolerance for this activity on Facebook and are extremely aggressive in preventing and removing child exploitive content as well as reporting it and the people responsible for it to law enforcement. We've built complex technical systems that either block the creation of this content, including in private groups, or flag it for quick review by our team of investigations professionals.
Additionally, we maintain a robust reporting infrastructure that leverages the over 500 million people who use our site to keep an eye out for offensive or potentially dangerous content. This reporting infrastructure includes report links on pages across the Facebook site, systems to prioritize the most serious reports, and a trained team of analysts who respond to reports and escalate them to law enforcement as needed. This team treats reports of exploitative content as an utmost priority.
We've also worked with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and New York State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo in the U.S., as well as the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre in the UK, to use known databases of child exploitive material to improve our detection and bring those responsible to justice.
As a result of that particular correspondence, Bechard said, Facebook simply agreed to remove the "like" group for "Nude Teen." However, he said search results for "Nude Teen" reveal the phrase is often back and as popular as ever – and the overall problem of explicit "likes" and groups does not appear to have improved.

'It's frustrating'
Some people, including those with law-enforcement backgrounds, are becoming frustrated in their efforts to report content to Facebook.
"I just took a phone call from a retired police officer in the Midwest who was quite frantic," Lepoutre said. "He called because he found child porn on Facebook.com and he said, 'I'm a retired police officer. I thought I could maybe reach Facebook and report what I've just seen.'"
The man said he tried to reach Facebook by phone, but his efforts had been futile.
Advertisement - story continues below
"He saw Facebook's 'report the image' business, but he wanted to talk to somebody and report this problem," Lepoutre said. "After several hours of trying to reach someone at Facebook, I explained to him what could and could not be done with regard to an IC3 form [FBI reporting procedure]. He said he was going to go do that."
He added, "Not only does there seem to be this disconnect with people like us who have been studying this issue, the folks out there wanting to report this stuff can't do anything about it, either."
After Facebook executives read Part 1 of this WND series, they contacted Sgt. Greg Lombardo, commander for the Silicon Valley Internet Crimes Against Children taskforce, and asked him to speak with WND about his experiences dealing with the social network on this issue.
WND spoke to Lombardo about the limitations of PhotoDNA, how easy it is for pornographers to open numerous alias Facebook accounts and why Facebook is allowing explicit groups and "likes," he responded:
Advertisement - story continues below
"I do understand what you are saying. I think most of the things you talked about are probably better answered by Facebook. All I can tell you about is our communication with Facebook and the cooperation that we've received from them. In the last six months, they've really done a lot to help us out. If we need search warrant information, they get it to us right away. They actually started a new portal that allows us to get Facebook information right away, and we've used it many times. They're working with us, so I don't have any complaints. I think they've been great lately. I'm sure there are going to be areas where they can improve, and that's probably why we have people like you who are trying to probe and find out what's going on."
He added:
"I read your article, and it was well-written. I just want to make it clear that they are cooperating with us. I don't have any issues with them at all. If there are things they can improve on that you've found, then that's perfect, because we're all trying to do the same thing here. We're all trying to stop this. You may have found other things for them to look at here."
However, Bechard explained that a FBI special agent told him it had taken Facebook as many as eight months to respond to a single child-pornography inquiry.
Bechard asked WND, "Is anyone comparing the numbers of profiles and videos that get reported and removed from Facebook as child pornography – and therefore criminal – and the number of reports made to law enforcement? That number should be the same. If they take something down, acknowledging that it's a crime, they should be reporting the crime to law enforcement. The biggest frustration is that it doesn't seem like that is happening. The crime seems to just go away at the Facebook level."
Asked whether there is a way to cross-check the number of child-pornography reports Facebook receives from its users with the number of reports Facebook sends to law-enforcement authorities, Lombardo said, "That's another good question for Facebook, because what we receive is what we get from NCMEC. I can't compare to a number of reports Facebook received. There are things I can't answer because I don't know."
Bechard, frustrated with the reporting process, explained:
"I can't think of another crime – at least at this felonious level – where people can witness it and 1) they actually have no idea how to report it and 2) everyone in law enforcement tells them to go to an outside, nonprofit agency to report it [NCMEC]. And then that agency is the clearinghouse for investigative material for law enforcement to use. I don't know of any other crime that is reported that way."
Asked how he would respond to claims that Facebook has implemented numerous proactive steps to ensure child porn is eradicated from its site and is overall doing a great job in the areas of prevention and elimination of the content, Bechard replied:
"I would put them in front of a computer and – within 30 seconds – show them child pornography on Facebook. Lots of it!"
Concerned individuals may do the following:
Send a flood of 1st-class mailed postcards to Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, members of Facebook's board and top-level management and staff telling them you want this criminal activity to stop.
Sign the petition to stop child porn on Facebook.
Contact members of Congress and urge them to act now.
If you have stumbled upon content appearing to be child pornography, report it immediately to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center.
(Part 3 of this series examines how the issue of child porn on Facebook could come into play when the social network goes public, what investors are supporting when they invest in Facebook and how, as one expert put it, "they won't have clean hands" if they ignore this issue.)

After winning a case on behalf of a client in which HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) was forced to back down and write-off more than £2,000 of previously demanded tax, Elaine Clark of CheapAccounting.co.uk has accused the tax office of not applying its own rules correctly.
"This is a terrible case. [The taxpayer] receives incapacity benefit as well as an NHS pension," Elaine said. "HMRC was informed of the two sources of income by the Benefits Agency and the NHS, but did not act on the information provided."
Elaine claimed under the provisions of Extra Statutory Concession A19. The full version of the concession is quite lengthy, but basically it says the tax office must waive tax owed in certain circumstances if it makes a mistake. You could claim if:
- HMRC failed to act on information it had
- that failure lead to a tax underpayment
- it did not say how much was owed by the end of the tax year after the mistake was made
- it was reasonable for you to think everything was in order.
(If the tax office made more than one error, the time limit may not apply.)
If you have been sent a bill and you feel this applies to you, then you may wish to seek further advice. Alternatively, there are a number of draft letters available online. (Search for "Sample letter ESC A19".)
HMRC correctly said it could not comment on individual cases and that the concession would in all likelihood apply only to a small number of cases.
The problem arises because our tax laws place the onus squarely with the individual. Basically, if your tax is wrong, it's your fault – even if you were not aware of the situation or if the tax office made mistakes. This is clearly ludicrous, especially given the complexities of our tax laws.
Which is why we have ESC A19. It is an incredibly powerful clause – without it HMRC would be almost unaccountable. Six million people could be affected by recent mistakes by the tax office, through no fault of their own, so the usual rules should not apply. Television programmes such as Panorama and cases such as this have highlighted the problem.
Elaine is right – HMRC is failing to instigate the concession when it could do. It is an Extra Statutory Concession that is being debated, so surely it is not beyond HMRC's remit to introduce a temporary measure – something as simple as sending out a slip inviting a claim, with space for the relevant details perhaps.
Ethically, this would be the right thing to do, but it would of course cost HMRC and by default the government.

(Reuters) - The gunman who killed his former daughter-in-law in a Delaware courthouse on Monday was accompanying his son to a child support hearing when he opened fire, police said on Tuesday.
The shooter was identified as Thomas Matusiewicz, 68, who shot Christine Belford, 39, of Newark, Delaware and her friend, Laura Mulford, 45, in the lobby of New Castle County Courthouse on Monday, killing them both.
His son is divorced from Belford and is the father of their three girls.
"Thomas S. Matusiewicz approached the two female victims that were standing within the public lobby area, produced a .45 caliber semiautomatic handgun and fired multiple rounds at close range, striking Belford in the upper body," said a police statement released on Tuesday.
"Mulford attempted to flee and Matusiewicz fired multiple rounds at close range, striking Mulford in the upper body," police said.
Capitol Police fired at Matusiewicz as he tried to flee. Two officers were hit in the ensuing gun battle but were saved by their bullet-proof vests.
Matusiewicz, who had been shot once in the upper body, shot himself in the head, dying at the scene, police said. The medical examiner ruled his death a suicide.
Police said the gunman had gone to court with his son, David Matusiewicz, for a child support hearing in the contentious custody case.
David Matusiewicz recently served a prison sentence for kidnapping the girls and hiding out with the children and his mother for 19 months in Nicaragua and other countries.
David Matusiewicz, an optometrist, was back in court on Tuesday in an orange jumpsuit to face charges of violation of probation in connection with the kidnapping case, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf.
He appeared before federal Judge Mary Pat Thynge, who ordered him to appear at a detention hearing on Friday.

Modern Cabin Overlooking The Coeur D'Alene Lake in North Idaho
A home with a view is more than just a home. Call it inspirational, relaxing or simply beautiful, but when a home is blessed with beautiful surroundings, the site completely transforms it, from a regular home to a picturesque dream home! Coeur D'Alene Cabin, a project defined by Uptic Studios, in North Idaho (Coeur D'Alene Lake), is a wonderful vacation house, a spot where you can feel blissful and excited about the lush vegetation surrounding the house, the lake, the dusks and the dawns. Moreover, this summer residence is a cozy home, exhaling a strong sense of privacy. The perfect getaway – or to put it in simple words, the home away from home.
"The view from the site was an important aspect to the client and integral to the design. To maximize outdoor space and connection to the landscape, columns were absent on the deck. A steel beam system supports the cantilevered roof and allows the windows to extend to the ceiling, blurring the delineations between indoor and outdoor spaces. Large sliding doors and indoor/outdoor kitchen counters create a unique relationship between the deck and indoor common areas." The interior mixes concrete and wood, unveiling a neat, uncluttered design. The living room offers a panoramic view over the lake. Picture the perfect Sunday morning, on the terrace, overlooking the clear, serene waters, just enjoying the shy rays of light and the fresh air.

Sebastian Vettel has admitted he was not sure if he was up to the job of being a Formula One driver when he first tested a Williams in 2005.
Vettel's debut in an F1 car came at a test in Jerez in September 2005, when he shared some seat time with Mark Webber and Nico Rosberg in a Williams-BMW FW27. Just 18 years old at the time, he only completed 25 laps and was over three seconds off Webber's benchmark time. Now close to his fourth world title, he admitted the step up from Formula 3 was daunting at the time.
"The first time I tested the car, Mark drove in the morning and I drove in the afternoon," he said. "I shat myself for the first couple of laps and I thought, alright, that's for real men, not for me. Then I got used to it and obviously wanted to do more."
Since then Vettel has racked up 35 wins and is now closing on his fourth consecutive world championship. Nevertheless, he still gets nervous on race day mornings.
"Nothing has changed in the way that I still love racing, I love the challenge, I'm still nervous when I wake up on Sunday, still excited when I walk on the grid and tense, looking forward to the race," he added.
"I think it would be a shame if you were too tense and if you tried to force things too much. I think you have to allow yourself to enjoy it because this is not normal, it doesn't happen to everyone. I think I'm very fortunate that I'm one of these 22/24 guys in Formula One."
Vettel needs to finish fifth or higher at next week's Indian Grand Prix to secure the title.

Giving Back: Nina Church of Nika Water
This California teen is helping people in impoverished villages gain access to safe drinking water.
CAUSE: Nina Church and her family started Nika Water, an environmentally responsible water bottle company that donates 100 percent of its profits to support clean water projects in impoverished countries. An estimated 1.1 billion people worldwide lack access to safe, drinkable water. Water-related diseases caused by contaminated water result in thousands of deaths a day in the developing world. The lack of available clean water also has social consequences: Many women and children spend their days trekking to remote water sources, leaving no time for them to earn an elementary education. Eighteen-year-old Nina is working to break this cycle of poverty.
EFFECT: Nika Water has committed more than $400,000 to bring clean water to over 7,000 people worldwide. Since its launch in 2009, Nika has completed projects in Sri Lanka, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and Nicaragua. It is the first CarbonFree-certified water bottle company (Nika offsets its carbon footprint by funding the planting of trees in Nicaragua), and it also participates in the One-for-One Recycling Program.
GET INVOLVED: Nika Water is currently on sale in California and Nevada. If you live in the California area, you can volunteer and sell Nika Water at street fares and on the beach. Nika Water is hoping to expand to other states, and you can help spread the word about Nika and the world water crisis over social media platforms.

Skeletons, ghosts, witches and goblins descended on the Museum of Coastal Carolina on Oct. 25 for the first-ever Spooky Night at the Museum.
The pirate ship in the museum's lobby and the gaily-decorated museum galleries resulted in smiling faces and even a few anxious faces for those who (with parental permission) bravely ventured into the "scary room."

We are spending two billion dollars per week on the war in Afghanistan alone, and the politicians are finally catching up with the American people in questioning our involvement in the country. Are Republicans starting to take a more "isolationist" stance overall, or is war-weariness instead starting to influence both parties' policies? War hawks have fallen noticeably silent; now is the time for Obama to announce a viable exit strategy.
Katrina vanden Heuvel joined Morning Joe today to argue that our country needs to abandon the "war-footing" mentality we've been in since George W. Bush's presidency and disengage from the endless unlawful, unwinnable wars that have characterized our nation's recent history.

What links a scientific research station in Antarctica with a unique opera performance in Germany's capital?
The answer, unlikely as it seems, is underwater sounds. Since 2005, a remote acoustic observatory has been recording the sounds of the deep sea using underwater microphones placed below the ice shelf. These otherworldly sounds provided the inspiration for an opera that premiered on Sunday night in Berlin.
As you might imagine, this was no ordinary opera. Staged in the breathtaking Neukölln baths, the AquAria_PALAOA took place almost entirely underwater. Fully clothed performers entered the pool up to their necks so that their voices could be heard above the surface as well as below it, whence two underwater microphones broadcast the submarine sounds. Around the water's edge, musicians accompanied the singers. As the drama intensified more of the performers and even some instruments entered the water, creating ethereal and extraordinary sounds, which were interspersed with recordings of whale and seal songs from the Antarctic depths.
PALAOA (PerenniAL Acoustic Observatory in the Antarctic Ocean) is an undertaking of the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research, a leading German institution that studies environmental issues at its wide network of research stations. Fittingly, palaoa is also Hawaiian for "whale".
Before Sunday's debut performance, there was a live link-up with scientists stationed near the PALAOA station and an in-person introduction by Lars Kindermann, the physicist and acoustics specialist responsible for the project. Kindermann explained that the recordings originated as part of research into the effects of human-made sounds on marine life.
In order to gauge the influence of human-generated noise, they first needed a control: a sonic image of the sea without any unnatural interference. This proved a difficult task in the busy oceans because of water's efficiency as a sound conductor, so the team came up with a technique that uses hot water to drill holes in the ice shelf. They then submerged acoustic sensors into the sea 100 metres below. The sensors offered unprecedented insight into this underwater world. What's more, in addition to recording sounds of expected animals such as killer whales, blue whales and humpbacks, the acoustic sensors picked up a number of mysterious sounds still to be identified - a task that has become a project in its own right.
While Kindermann and his team explore the secrets of the deep, the opera's artistic director and lead soprano Claudia Herr uses their eerie-sounding results to examine an equally complex puzzle: the very human preoccupation with immortality. Exploring this theme, the underwater opera features the leading lady using scuba gear to emulate the movement of a whale, whilst a man wearing a suit plays the role of a melancholy killer whale. Accompanying them is a choral ensemble of "seals", as well as five musicians and the sub-aquatic recordings of PALAOA. As the characters search for perpetual youth and the performance builds to its dramatic conclusion, the effect is surreal and enchanting to both the ears and eyes.
There will be additional performances of the AquAria_PALAOA this month and next, and in September.
