FLORENCE, Italy — The Florence appellate court hearing U.S. student Amanda Knox's third trial in her roommate's murder agreed Monday to run additional DNA tests on the presumed weapon, but rejected more than a dozen other defense requests for new testimony or evidence.
On the trial's opening day, presiding Judge Alessandro Nencini said the court agreed to test one DNA trace not previously examined on the knife that prosecutors allege killed British student Meredith Kercher; the trace had previously been deemed too small to test.
Italy's highest court in March ordered a new trial for Knox and her Italian co-defendant, ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, after overturning their acquittals in Kercher's November 2007 killing. The Court of Cassation blasted the 2011 appeals court acquittal, saying it was full of "deficiencies, contradictions and illogical" conclusions.
Knox, now a 26-year-old University of Washington student in Seattle, has not returned to Italy for the current trial, nor is she compelled by law to do so. Sollecito, now 29, likewise did not attend the trial, as is permitted in Italy.
Kercher's body was found in a pool of blood, her throat slashed, in the house she shared with Knox in Perugia, a central Italian town popular with foreign exchange students. Suspicion fell on Knox and Sollecito, who had been dating for less than a week, due to their conflicting stories and what some viewed as strange behavior by Knox.
A third man, Rudy Guede, was convicted in the slaying and is serving a 16-year term. That court found that Guede had not acted alone.
On Monday, Knox defense lawyer Carlo Dalla Vedova warned of a risk of an "infinite trial," since the charge of murder has no statute of limitations. Sollecito's lawyer, Giulia Bongiorno, asked the court to accept only "reliable evidence," saying the intense media attention on the case had tainted witness testimony during the previous trials.
The Florence court agreed to only three requests, a sign that it will apply its own interpretation to reams of evidence and testimony already submitted in the previous lower court conviction and appellate court acquittal.
Besides a new DNA test on the knife found in Sollecito's kitchen, the court also agreed to the prosecution's request to again hear testimony from a jailed mobster, Luciano Aviello, who had accused his brother in the murder in a jailhouse discussion with Sollecito. Aviello, whose criminal convictions include defamation, is to testify Friday.
The court also accepted into evidence defense photos showing Sollecito's fingernails bitten down at the time of his arrest, which the defense argues is proof he didn't participate in what prosecutors allege was a drug-fueled sex game that turned murderous.
Kercher family lawyer Francesco Maresca ridiculed the notion that the bitten-down nails were evidence that Sollecito could not have undone a bra clasp that had a trace of his DNA. "I hold it with the fingertips without using my nails," he said.
Knox's protracted legal battle in Italy has made her a cause celebre in the United States and has put the Italian justice system under scrutiny. The Italian system does not include U.S. Fifth Amendment protection against a defendant being put in double jeopardy by government prosecution. Knox's absence was noted by the court Monday.
"We refute the idea that because Amanda is not coming, that Amanda is guilty, that Amanda is using a strategy. Amanda always said she was a friend of Meredith's. Amanda has always respected the Italian justice system," one of Knox's defense lawyers, Luciano Ghirga, told reporters before the trial opened.
Knox served four years of a 26-year sentence, including three years on a slander conviction for falsely accusing a Perugia bar owner in the murder, before leaving Italy a free woman after her 2011 acquittal. Sollecito also served four years of his 25-year sentence.
The bar owner, Diya "Patrick" Lumumba, showed up at the trial Monday, saying he did so to underline the damage he suffered from Knox's false accusations. "I say the same thing I said six years ago. I think she is guilty, and that is why she slandered me," Lumumba told reporters.
Knox's conviction for slandering Lumumba has been confirmed by the high court, but it asked the Florence appeals court to examine whether to reinstate an aggravating circumstance that Knox lied to derail the investigation and protect herself from becoming a murder suspect.
Meanwhile, the trials have left the Kercher family without clear answers in the death of their daughter.
In a letter submitted to court, the Kercher family urged the panel to allow any additional testing requested "so that any unanswered questions can be clarified," adding: "It has been the most difficult six years of our lives and we want to be able to seek closure."
Maresca, the Kercher's family lawyer, said they still believe that all three defendants were present at the scene of the crime.
In its stunning 2011 acquittal that overturned Knox and Sollecito's convictions, a Perugia appeals court criticized virtually the prosecution's entire case. The appellate court noted that the murder weapon was never found, said that the DNA tests were faulty, and that prosecutors provided no murder motive.
Yet the Court of Cassation ruling was likewise strident, criticizing the appeals court ruling and saying it "openly collides with objective facts of the case."
The high court said the appellate judges had ignored some evidence, considered other evidence insufficiently and undervalued the fact that Knox had initially accused a man of committing the crime who had nothing to do with it.

Ubuntu Mobile Edition: Review
Ubuntu Mobile Edition
The mobile Internet device (MID) space is one of the fastest growing platforms with new concept designs appearing every month. Nokia was one of the earliest vendors with a product (Nokia 770) in this space to ship with a Linux operating system (OS) and continues to see solid sales with the current model 810. New concept designs come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, and many sport a Linux OS.
Microsoft made a big splash a couple of years ago with their ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC) platform. These devices typically include a 7-inch touch screen, wifi and a variety of other options. Original releases of these products from companies like Asus, Samsung and TabletKiosk were based on Windows XP Tablet Edition. The latest versions with more powerful processors and more memory typically run Windows Vista.
I was able to pick up one of the original Samsung Q1s from woot.com for around $600. This model has an Intel 900 MHz Celeron processor, 512MB of memory and a 40 GB hard drive. With an extended 6-cell battery you can expect to get from 4 -- 6 hours of use from a typical usage pattern. While the Q1 XP Tablet edition combination is functional, it just seemed like it wasn't made to fit the small form factor. Installing software often produced the clipped dialog screen problem where you couldn't see the buttons at the bottom to click on them.
Another big limiting factor for these devices was cost. Most new UMPCs cost anywhere from $900 on the low end, to upwards of $1800 on the high end, and even higher for the solid state disk versions. With the introduction of the Asus Eee PC and other similar form factor, these prices are hard to justify especially when you consider the minute differences in capability.

...start another blog, or two, or move to twitter. Facebook? Never.
Wednesday, May 06, 2009
Anyway, I'm one of the quarter million people following Zoe Keating's mundane and ever-so-fascinating life log. Yesterday Wired posted a video interview, which I am now linking to here, mostly so I can easily reference it later when I can find it no other way, and partly so the few people who read my blog but don't tweet can see it, too.
This is what she says her current equipment consists of, as best I can make it out, being a dead-Windows user and not Mac (yet):
MacBook Pro
* Ableton Live
* Super Looper
* Applescripts to tie things together and allow everything to be controlled with her feet ("duct tape")
Foot controller mapped to the functions in the program(s)
I loved her analogy, likening the way she builds her music to the way a programmer builds information technology. Start small. Try things out. Build on the foundation. Perfect each bit. Scale as needed.
Thanks, Zoe, you make the impossible seem achievable. I have got to try this.

It's not too hard, especially the way she has herself set up. (after much experimenting and streamlining) You can also try it on for size if you're a PC user with Acid looping software. If we do our meetup this summer, I can show you how to use it: it is so simple, much simpler than Ableton Live (and not as robust to be sure) and lots of fun.
I saw this last night. Outtasight!
Aside from the music, I was intrigued by the foot controller. From what I think she said, she's triggering applescripts with the footswitches, instead of doing midi-ish things. Did I get that correct?
If so, it might help with my practice. I'm trying to find a way to record small 10- or 20-second excerpts of my playing onto my Macbook Pro (using Garageband or Audio Hijack Pro, I guess), and then play them back immediately, all without having to put my cello down and then touch keyboard or mouse. Does this sound doable?
Hope you get your computer going really soon!
- Gottagopractice said...
Emily-now I'm really getting excited!
TC-I've been thinking along those same lines. Would provide much faster feedback than the current record-play options. And faster feedback=better learning.
I believe you (we) understand that correctly. The foot pedal triggers an applescript which triggers the appropriate action in the other software. Since she says she does not do distortions, these should be relatively simple things like start recording, stop recording, open another loop. This is conjecture based on my 20 yo Mac experience.
She also didn't talk about the other important component of the set-up - which pick-up she's using. But I have a vague recollection that she talked about that in a recent ICS forum - I think Instruments & Equipment. Will have to check.
Sounds like a good summer project.
- Emily said...
We will do this. Maybe even a little thing at cellopalooza? I think it's going to be affordable for most, and I may even bring in an engineer to bolster my own experience. :)
- Gottagopractice said...
That would be awesome - and I'm pretty sure unique in the cello camp experience.

Why the story works:
On the first page he admits that it sounds a little off the wall and crazy. "I'm sure this sounds pretty ridiculous" He's telling the reader that the story sounds absurd but bare with him and he will explain how everything flows together.
He admits that he's not a rocket scientist, car expert or has must interest in urban legends. He's careful on how he writes the story and how he builds the story up gradually. He talks about being a biology teacher, how he found the story on the internet and why he decided to write his version.
To make his story sound more believable he finds flaws in the Darwin's version. He points the flaws out in his story about how Darwin's version wouldn't work or just plain stupid to even attempt "What strikes me as incredible silly about the Darwin Award version of the story is that the pilot chose to test his vehicle on a road with a c curve in it".
The background information was very thorough. He's extremely careful to include everything (plus more) to make the story plausible. He talks about his father owning a scrap yard and how they obtained their materials "we lived near a major US Army storage facility, a lot of the scrap my father bought and sold came from government auctions . . . Of course I'm telling you this because it's how I managed to get hold of the JATO bottle we used for our rocket car" (how convenient). He also went in great depths about his friends that helped him build the rocket car and why he decided to choose them. "Jimmy and I met in the third grade and were best friends for most of our growing up . . . Jimmy went to college to study 'mechanical engineering'".
Even though he gave information on how everything came together – on choosing his friends, how they put the rocket car together, and where they did the test run I feel he went too far in depth with the information. It made me feel that he thought too long and hard on the process of how to make the story sound believable. Listing details was a great idea but he over did it on the number of details he used. The story was extremely drawn out.
He was also vague in certain parts of the story which made the reader doubt the creditability. "I won't specify except to say it was somewhere in the desert". Red flag goes up. There's no way to prove that this story was true or not.
The critical elements in the story that convinced me that it was made up were the amount of details he added to the story. He wanted the story to sound believable and in order to do that he thought he had to add a step-by-step description of how he came about to build the rocket car and how they pulled it off. There's a fine line of how much detail one should add to a story to make it sound plausible. The story was drawn out and I admit it made me lose interest half way through. Another critical element was the lack of evidence the story had. There was no way of finding out if this really took place or not, especially since he just said it happened in the desert somewhere. What we can learn from this is to make a story believable it does not need to be drawn out nor does it need an excessive amount of detail.

LOS ANGELES — A man who's serving a state prison sentence for murder and robbery is set to be arraigned today for allegedly killing an inmate in a Los Angeles County jail nearly 17 years ago.
Jaime Vidales, 42, is charged with murder for allegedly strangling Miguel Sanchez in July 1997.
A sheriff's deputy found Sanchez, who was in jail on a pending sexual assault case, lying on a bunk bed in a dorm room occupied by inmates.
Vidales — who was in jail awaiting trial on murder and robbery charges — was allegedly helped by another inmate in attacking Sanchez, but that man was subsequently killed in county jail, according to prosecutors.
Vidales is currently serving a life prison sentence.

Raise your hand if you swore off carbs or lactose only to gravitate back with time. Thanks to clever marketing, diet trends come and go.
The latest appears to target gluten -- a type of protein found in wheat (including varieties such as Kamut and spelt), barley, and rye. Indeed, the market for gluten-free food swelled to an estimated $1.56 billion in 2008.
Why would anyone willingly give up all wheat products? As with many diet fads, at the core lies a truth: Some people don't tolerate gluten, just like some are truly lactose-intolerant.
So how do you know if you should hop on the gluten-free bandwagon? That depends on how you're feeling. If your system doesn't react well to gluten, you may experience symptoms including bloating, discomfort, and diarrhea. No test currently exists for this kind of sensitivity; the only way to find out if gluten's the cause of your issues is to work with your doctor and try an elimination diet. Fortunately, a simple gluten intolerance doesn't cause damage to your body.
Celiac disease, an immune response associated with gluten consumption, is another story. With celiac disease, gluten damages the lining of the small intestines, interfering with nutrient absorption. For years, celiac disease remained off the radar for American doctors, who rarely considered the diagnosis. However, research shows that as much as one percent of the U.S. population, or about three million people, may suffer from it.
Symptoms of celiac disease range from abdominal pain and bloating to chronic fatigue. Sometimes no symptoms show up at all, and that's worrisome: Undiagnosed celiac disease can cause, among other problems, anemia, infertility, osteoporosis, or cancer. Blood tests and a biopsy of the small intestine, though not foolproof, often help confirm a diagnosis.
Most people with celiac disease still don't know they have it because they haven't been tested. "Of the 1 percent who may have it, only 1 percent has been diagnosed," says Peter Green, M.D., director of the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University Medical Center. That leaves millions of people in the dark.
If you do have celiac disease, the only treatment is a gluten-free diet. That means forgoing not only the obvious -- bread, pizza, pasta -- but also certain processed meats, jams, medications, even lipstick (gluten often figures in as a flavoring, stabilizing, and thickening agent).
Fortunately for those who have celiac disease, the increased offerings of gluten-free products make eating easier. "But don't forget, many foods are naturally gluten-free," says Green. These include fruits, vegetables, legumes, unprocessed meats, and dairy products.
Try our Gluten-Free Sandwich Bread -- great for making sandwiches, bread crumbs, French toast, and croutons. For crutons, toss bread cubes with olive oil, season, and bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.

Windows XP End of Life
As Windows XP comes to the end of its life, applications in enterprise desktop and virtualization environments everywhere will feel the effects.
Luckily, there are a couple of things you can do if your applications depend on XP: You can use a very old Windows server platform or jump on the virtualization bandwagon.
April 9, 2014, support for Windows XP will have ended. On that day, any zero-day exploit released into the wild will run rampant on Windows XP systems while Microsoft watches and says "I told you so".
Microsoft isn't the only company ditching XP
Tthose companies that made software for XP,
stopped actively developing for the OS years ago, and after the Windows XP end of life, they will have no reason to continue to support it. The implications of this run deep. Line of business application software will be affected and many other applications you may be running.
What is really a cause for concern is that security software vendors will most likely stop updating and supporting their software that runs on XP. So they may not pay much attention to viruses targeted toward XP after it is gone, leaving you unprotected. Now this may be a few months after XP support expires, but it won't be that far off.
Windows XP support will be ending April 8th 2014. Make sure you have a migration plan.

Virus and malware removal.
If you find that your computer is infected, and don't now how to remove it, PacInfo can help. Removing viruses can take a lot of time or a little time to remove. However, for your protection, we clean your computer of the malware for a flat rate fee, so you can have peace of mind when you bring your computer in for cleaning. Normally that fee is $75, but for a limited time we are offering to do it for $65. You just need to bring your computer to our office. If you want to prevent viruses from getting on your computer, you can check out PacInfo's managed antivirus service where removal is discounted even more and often we can work on the computer remotely and you don't need to bring it in.
Willamette.Net Merges with Pacinfo
We are proud to announce that Willamette.Net has joined forces with Pacinfo Internet Solutions of Eugene, creating the largest locally owned Internet service provider in the southern Willamette Valley. The merger of Eugene's two oldest and largest ISPs combines both companies' considerable resources to provide expanded Internet services, which include broadband, dial-up, website design and hosting, e-mail, off-site backup, and server co-location. The merger will not affect current Willamette.Net or Pacinfo customers. According to CEO Randy McMillan, "Both Willamette.Net and Pacinfo are known for high quality service and support. That commitment will not change."
Change will come in the form of the relocation of the PacInfo servers to the current offices of Willamette.Net. "The server room facilities at Willamette.Net are superior to our current location, and it only makes sense to use the best facilities to provide our customers the best service" says McMillan.
The merger allows PacInfo to better implement their off-site backup services and provide a more robust server room environment for customers who need a place to house their servers in an Internet data center. The combined companies will now have increased resources to provide expanded Internet services, including broadband, dial-up, website design and hosting, e-mail, off-site backup, and server co-location.

Quick. Anyone remember Phil Bankston? Frank A. Anglin III does and Bankston has been on his mind a lot since Anglin was named vice president of Case IH's North American Agricultural Business in January.
"Phil Bankston had the challenge to replace Vince Lombardi, a four-time Super Bowl winner," says Anglin. "Well, I also have a challenge in replacing a legend, Jim Irwin, who is retiring as vice president after a long career with Case IH."
Anglin, who was manager of Case IH's operations in Australia and New Zealand before being named vice president for North American operations, told dealers and salesmen attending Case IH's "Big Red Round Up" sales training event in Phoenix he appreciates Erwin's legacy of a strong sales and marketing team at Case IH.
"That's how we're going to be able to survive the transition," said Anglin. "One of the things Jim did that was very successful — and I share his vision — is that any time a difficult decision needed to be reached, he pulled from three key constituents: the dealer, the customer and, finally, from Case IH.
"If we use this as a framework to help make decisions, then, we should, more often than not, be able to make the right decisions."
Anglin appears to be stepping into Erwin's shoes at a good time — Case IH has enjoyed 20 consecutive quarters of positive earnings. But he also knows the industry is becoming more competitive.
"I've talked to you about why I am excited about the industry; I would also like to share with you why I am excited about the brand," he said. "The brand has great history, it's very strong. Our advantage seems to come from three things: Powerful equipment, strong dealer network and the people behind the brand."
At a briefing for agricultural editors, Anglin said he believes he has inherited one of the "most experienced and dedicated teams in the industry. These folks know their business, and they love the Case IH brand."
On the Case IH dealer network, Anglin said: "Many of our dealers go back several generations, while at the same time, they are ready to move into the future. That is what this training, the Big Red Roundup, is about."
He noted Case IH has replaced and renewed about 90 percent of its product line-up over the past several years as part of its efforts to be more responsive to dealer and customer wishes.
"We are demonstrating our commitment to our existing customers and tapping into new segments with products we have not had before — smaller tractors, bigger tractors, more specialized tractors, new planters, new harvesters for grains and cotton, new hay tools, new application equipment, and the list goes on," he said.
"All of these factors drive my optimism and excitement about the Case IH brand."
He said having the right tools for the right job is only part of the equation, he said. "The power of the brand is only fully realized when our dealers match customer needs to the optimal tools and solutions.
"The ag industry has become increasingly sophisticated, and we are positioning our products and our people to be leaders."
That includes reducing the number of configurations of Case IH models that its factories and dealers have to keep track of.
"In our January price book, we reduced the number of offerings by about 20 percent, focusing on key models," Anglin said. "With those key models, we can make sure we have adequate supplies of the products our customers really want."
Reducing configurations, he said, lowers the amount of working capital needed by the company and it dealers, it simplifies ordering and it facilitates inventory transfers between dealers.
He used Case IH's MX Magnum line of high horsepower tractors as an example of the changes the company is making.
Case IH has reduced the options for the MX Magnum line by 25 percent; switched all tractors in the lineup to a "global tire option;" eliminated the "standard" cab, reducing the cabs available from three to two; and increased the size of the standard fuel tank from 130 gallons to 160 gallons.
Anglin said the Big Red Roundup, which was held for the second year, targets dealer salesmen and women, although many dealer principals also attend the sessions. The program combines classroom time and operation time in the field.
"They are learning about the features and benefits of the products and how to identify the value of those features and benefits to customer applications and needs," he said. "It is not about peddling metal — that gets you one sale. It is about identifying and responding to the needs of customers to make them more successful. That is why customers will return to the dealership and the Case IH brand."
Besides training salesmen on its own models, Case IH also has begun providing models of competing tractors to enable salesmen to operate and compare the features on the competition with models they're selling.
One session at Case IH's proving grounds just outside Phoenix featured a walk-around with a Case IH specialist giving salesmen a point-by-point analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of another color tractor.
Besides providing a look at dealer training, Case IH also introduced its new 400 Series Skid Steers compact line of track loaders for farm and ranch uses during the Phoenix Roundup.
Available in five radial- and three vertical-lift models that range from 49 to 82 net horsepower, the 400 Series skid steers feature maximum rated operating loads from 1,500 to 3,000 pounds.
"Select Case IH dealerships will offer their customers construction-grade performance from their sister brand," says Rusty Schaefer, marketing manager, Case Construction Equipment. "These 400 Series models maintain the Case engine heritage, with improved reliability and increased performance features."
In addition to Tier II certification, the large-displacement, high-torque, long-life engines in the 400 Series skid steers provide quiet, smooth power for productive operation, according to Schaefer.
The entry-level Case 410, as well as the 430 and 445 models, use naturally aspirated 4-cylinder diesel engines, while the 420, 440, 450 and 465 offer turbo-charged, 4-cylinder diesel engines. The 435 uses a 3-cylinder, turbocharged engine.
The Case 430, 440, 450 and 465 models offer a 95-amp alternator for reliable starts. Radial-piston motors provide greater traction, improved reliability and efficiency. Schaefer says a new cooling system that provides balanced cooling to both the engine and hydraulics, coupled with improvements made to the auxiliary hydraulics, have increased the reliability of all models.
He says the new skid steers are also aimed at improving operator comfort and enhancing productivity. "The new machines are equipped with low-effort, servo-hydrostatics controls that reduce fatigue during operation," Schaefer notes. "Visibility to the bucket is improved with the repositioning of instrumentation to the right upright post."
Models 430 and above feature a factory-ready cab with optional air conditioning and ergonomically positioned, trigger-style switch that activates the two-speed operation. That allows the machines to accelerate to nearly 12 miles per hour so operators can tackle larger tasks more quickly.
More than 75 attachments are available for 400 Series skid steers, including augers, brooms, backhoes, stump grinders, landscape rakes, rockwheels, tree shears, scarifiers, snowblowers, bale spikes, forks, buckets and more, says Schaefer.

"The Dark Knight Rises" may have soared to the top of the box office for the second consecutive weekend, but the Batman film is still falling behind its predecessor.
The final installment in Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy saw its ticket sales tumble 60% to $64.1 million during its second weekend in theaters, according to an estimate Sunday from distributor Warner Bros. The film has now collected $289.1 million in the United States and Canada — roughly $25 million less than "The Dark Knight" made during the same time period in 2008 despite lower ticket prices.
Given that the film received an A grade from opening-weekend moviegoers and earned strong critical reviews, the difference in receipts could be largely because of the Aurora, Colo., massacre. A week after a gunman opened fire during a post-midnight screening of "The Dark Knight Rises" on July 20, Hollywood research firm NRG reported that 20% of potential moviegoers were reluctant to head to theaters.
PHOTOS: Celebrities react to Colorado shooting
Two other movies struggled upon their debuts at the box office this past weekend. "The Watch," an R-rated comedy starring well-known comedians such as Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn, started with a disappointing $13 million. And though "Step Up Revolution," the fourth entry in the dance franchise, was made for less money than "The Watch," its $11.8 million launch was unimpressive.
Ticket sales were down 25% compared with the same three-day period in 2011. Many in Hollywood said the start of the Olympics this past weekend also may have negatively affected box office receipts.
For the second weekend in a row,Warner Bros.distribution executives declined to discuss the Batman film's box office performance.
Although "The Dark Knight Rises" is lagging the 2008 Batman film at the domestic box office, it has a chance to surpass the second installment overseas. This weekend, the new movie starring Christian Bale as the iconic superhero played in 57 foreign countries and grossed $122.1 million, raising its international total to $248.2 million.
The film performed best in France, where it debuted with $11.3 million, but it continued to do solid business during its second weekend in the United Kingdom as well, where its tally now stands at $47 million. Four years ago, "The Dark Knight" sold $468.6 million worth of tickets abroad — roughly 47% of its worldwide gross.
Not many people wanted to watch "The Watch," and those who did were mostly older men. The film attracted a 60% male crowd, and 59% of the audience was 25 and older.
"The Watch" has been loathed by critics, notching only a 14% fresh rating on the movie review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes. Moviegoers who saw the film also disliked it, giving it an average grade of C+, according to market research firm CinemaScore.
Financed for about $68 million by 20th Century Fox, "The Watch" centers on four men who launch a local neighborhood watch and then end up battling space aliens. The film was originally called "Neighborhood Watch," but Fox changed the title in May because it was fearful the movie would be wrongly tied to the Feb. 26 death of Trayvon Martin, who was killed by a neighborhood watch volunteer in Sanford, Fla.
"We had challenges with the movie," acknowledged Chris Aronson, Fox's president of domestic distribution. "Clearly, it had nothing to do with that unfortunate event, but we tried to be proactive. Obviously, we will look into how this film did and see what we can learn."
The 3-D "Step Up Revolution" had the lowest debut of any film in the franchise — trailing behind the $15.8 million that the third film took in on its opening weekend in 2010. Those who did see the fourth entry this past weekend — 71% of whom were 24 and younger — assigned it a B+ grade.
"Step Up Revolution" had a budget of about $33 million and is the first movie in the franchise to be financed entirely by Summit Entertainment, acquired by Lionsgate last winter. Previously, the "Step Up" films were co-financed by Summit and Walt Disney Studios.
The "Step Up" series, which started in 2006 and launched Channing Tatum's career, now stars a cast of unknown actors. Since the original hit theaters six years ago, however, the "Step Up" films have become increasingly popular abroad; two years ago,"Step Up 3-D" grossed $116.9 million overseas, accounting for roughly 73% of its worldwide gross.
"They are probably enamored with our dance and our music," said Richie Fay, Lionsgate's president of domestic distribution. "The 3-D is still a newer concept overseas as well, and this movie particularly plays up the dancers coming out of the screen in 3-D."

January 2014
Large studies, primarily from Western Europe, the U.S. and Australia, have found that potent combination anti-HIV therapy (commonly called ART or HAART) has led to tremendous improvement in the health of HIV-positive people. In Canada and other high-income countries, AIDS-related infections are uncommon for HIV-positive people who are in care and who are taking ART. As a result, researchers increasingly expect that a young adult who is infected with HIV today and who begins ART shortly thereafter and who takes his or her medicine every day exactly as directed and who does not have untreated co-existing health issues -- such as addiction, depression, schizophrenia, co-infection with hepatitis C virus -- is likely to live for several decades.
Until recently, analyses of life expectancy for large numbers of HIV-positive people in Canada and the U.S. were not available. Now a consortium of researchers across the continent has pooled health-related data collected from HIV-positive people and analysed their life expectancy. The researchers found that overall the life expectancy for HIV-positive people has increased over the past decade and is approaching that of HIV-negative people. However, not all key groups affected by HIV are experiencing the same degree of life expectancy. In this bulletin we explain which groups are affected and offer possible reasons for the observed differences.
Researchers across North America with the NA-ACCORD database analysed health-related information from 22,937 participants who initiated ART between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2007.
The average profile of participants was as follows:
Participants were distributed across the following age ranges:
Route of infection
CD4+ count at the time ART was initiated:
A total of 1,622 people died during the study; details about causes of death were not provided.
In general, rates of death were high among groups of people with the following features/characteristics:
Based on its analysis, the research team predicted that the average life expectancy of a 20-year-old person in the U.S. or Canada who began ART shortly after he or she became HIV positive should be around 70. However, this is just an average figure, and some groups will have shorter or longer life expectancy. Below are the estimated life expectancies of a 20-year-old person in different groups in 2009, starting with HIV-negative people for comparison. At the end of the figures we provide possible explanations for these results:
Route of infection
CD4+ count when ART was initiated
These life expectancies should be compared to the time before ART became available when, on average, HIV-positive people in high-income countries lived for between 10 and 12 years after diagnosis.

Did you forget to pre-order the iPhone 5c last night? Don't fret -- there seems to be plenty left on Apple's website.
Preorders kicked off Friday for the iPhone 5c, one of two new iPhones Apple announced earlier this week. The iPhone 5c comes in five different colors and starts at $99 with a two-year contract.
In typical Apple fashion, the device became available for pre-order the Friday after it was announced, but unlike most iPhone pre-orders, the 5c has yet to sell out or start showing delayed shipping times.
If you head to Apple's website, you can still order the iPhone 5c in any color you want, with 16 or 32 gigabytes of storage for all four major U.S. carriers, and the device will still ship to you by Sept. 20, its official release date.
That's great news for consumers, but it raises the question of why Apple has yet to sell out the device when last year it took just one hour for iPhone 5 pre-orders to sell out online.
Of course, this could be because demand is weak for the iPhone 5c, or it could simply be that this year Apple is doing a better job meeting demand than it did with the iPhone 5 in 2012.
"We believe the iPhone 5 had significant supply constraints at the launch date last year due to the new aluminum unibody enclosure that was difficult for suppliers to manufacture at first," Brian White, an analyst for Cantor Fitzgerald Equity Research, said in a note sent out Friday morning.
"Our research has not uncovered any supply constraints around the iPhone 5C this year, as we believe the manufacturing process is relatively straightforward given the polycarbonate case."
There also appears to be plenty of iPhone 5c units left from Apple's carrier partners. Only the 32 GB yellow iPhone 5c from AT&T appears to show any delay, saying it will ship within seven to 14 days.

Godzilla Vs. Gigan
- Format: Blu-ray
- Rated: PG
- Release Date: 5/6/2014
|your cart is empty
When alien invaders, plans for a children's theme park and four giant monsters with six heads between them all collide, the result is the inevitable battle for the fate of the Earth. At least, that's how it is for Godzilla, who teams up with his former spiky foe Anguirus for a tag team match against two of his greatest adversaries: The legendary three headed King Ghidorah and Gigan, the cyborg hench-monster for insidious insect aliens whose plot to wipe out all human life is cleverly disguised as plans for the construction of a new children's theme park. Unfortunately for the bug's diabolical designs, their secret monster control codes are accidentally discovered by comic book artist Gengo Kotaka, who broadcasts the master tape and brings Team Godzilla into play. It's not going to be an easy fight, though, as the odds are four heads to two, and King Ghidorah's one of Godzilla's toughest opponents. With his cybernetic weaponry Gigan is equally ruthless, and his alien masters are as hard to kill as the cockroaches they resemble. Will Earth's biggest defenders finally fall? Or will Godzilla, and insecticide, triumph over all? Find out in GODZILLA VS. GIGAN!

He says it every year — but it always proves to be true.
"We're going to have the best show ever," Lee Todd predicts for the 2002 Mid-South Farm & Gin Show, to be held at Memphis, Tenn. March 1-2.
But he has an added reason this year for that prediction: The show will be celebrating its 50th anniversary, and he's expecting the largest, most varied lineup of exhibits in its history.
With his usual hope for favorable weather ("rain just before the show is always nice, to keep farmers out of the fields for a couple of days"), he's also looking forward to having the biggest attendance ever.
Delta Farm Press will join the Southern Cotton Ginners Association in co-sponsoring the event at the downtown Cook Convention Center.
The exhibit is the largest indoor assembly of agricultural products and equipment in the Mid-South, and the largest cotton equipment trade show in the nation. More than 15,000 people usually attend the two-day event.
"We hope everyone's got the dates circled on their calendars," says Todd, who is executive vice president of the ginner association and manager for the show, which will offer the latest technology, the newest equipment, and the most up-to-date information available to help farmers get ready for the new production season.
For the past half century, Todd says, the show has been a magnet for leading farmers, ginners, equipment manufacturers-distributors, chemical companies, and providers of a wide variety of services and products for all Mid-South crops.
"There's just one reason for the show's growth and success: It's one of the best ag exhibits in the country, and we intend to keep it that way. We put a lot of effort into improving the show each year. We want everyone to know that when they come to the show, they'll have one-on-one access to the very latest in agriculture.
"And we're very pleased to again have Delta Farm Press, the Mid-South's most influential and respected agricultural publication, as co-sponsor of the exhibit."
Sledge Taylor, Como, Miss., president of the Southern Cotton Ginners Association, says, "The 2002 show looks like it will be another great one. Lee really does a great job for us in organizing and running the show, and we're really excited about the 50th anniversary celebration."
In addition to the exhibits, the program includes several Ag Update Seminars, featuring leaders from various industry segments, who offer information on marketing, research, and other important topics.
The Friday, March 1 sessions will include Mississippi farmer/ginner Kenneth Hood, the new chairman of the National Cotton Council; Richard Bell, chief executive officer of Riceland Foods; and William Dunavant, chief executive officer of Dunavant Enterprises, Inc.
Saturday, March 2, USDA Under Secretary for Marketing and Regulatory Programs, William Hawks, will speak, along with Roy Cantrell, the new agricultural research director for Cotton Incorporated, and Bruce Scherr, president and chief executive officer of the Sparks Companies.
At the same time all this is going on, the Southern Cotton Ginners Association and its member organizations will be holding their annual meetings. They include the Arkansas-Missouri Cotton Ginners Association, the Mississippi Cotton Ginners Association, the Tennessee Cotton Ginners Association, and the Louisiana Cotton Ginners Association.
Delta Farm Press, with more than half a century in the agricultural publishing business, reaches 28,000 farmers and agribusiness readers in Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana, and the Missouri Bootheel each week.
Delta Farm Press will publish the official program for the show, which will be distributed to all subscribers in the Feb. 15 issue and to the Alabama circulation of Feb. 13 Southeast Farm Press. The program will also be available to all show attendees.

This piece originally appeared in Rae's blog, Diva Living With AIDS.
(continued from part one HERE)
I pushed my Chanel handbag to the side and my toilet bath began. I tore off a good size piece of toilet paper and dipped it into the ice-cold toilet water. Then, I began to wash my body. I wiped off as much as I could from my behind, and then flushed the toilet paper. I pulled off another piece of toilet paper, dipped it in the ice-cold toilet water and repeated the procedure. Dip, wipe, flush, dip, over and over. After I'd gotten every single ounce of poop from one part of my body, I proceeded to the next until every trace was gone.
As I sat on the toilet, wiping down the inside of my pants leg, I began to talk to God again. This time I asked, "Why? Why this? Why now?" I knew if I asked Him, sooner or later, He'd reveal his purpose. Maybe He wanted to remind me that a St. John suit is not my security blanket. Security is only in His arms and His love, no matter what the circumstances. Maybe it was to give me an incident, a situation that one day, at a future time I could use to inspire and encourage others. But this was not that day. After I finished cleaning myself, I dressed and washed my $150.00 LePerla panties in the toilet. I took some toilet paper, wrapped them neatly and placed them in the container next to the toilet.
With my head held high, I sashayed back to the table, still looking too cute in my black and white pinstriped St. John suit. My smile was sincere, because AIDS didn't win. The diarrhea was a complete and vicious ambush. A total surprise, but it did not win. I'm not saying it didn't hurt. It always hurts. But even though there were battle scars on my heart, and bruises on my ego, there was not one piece of poop on my St. John pantsuit or my beautiful black Chanel pumps. As I sat down in my booth and waited on my Five Nut Chocolate Brownie, a sense of joy swiped over me because I had not surrendered to the ugliness.
There have been many days in my life where I have had to hold my head high in the face of adversity. Yes, there were days that I was bloody, but over the years I learned to never bow. For me, it's about how one maintains their dignity when their back is against the wall..... How you hold your head up, against the odds. Holding my head high was all I had that day. Beyond that, I couldn't see any goodness in it. But God always has a way of using your pain for the goodness of others.
