However there's the chance Erika had some knowledge of the golden truth, after all she knew about the detective authority and the logic error, prior to Battler learning about them. She also knew she could apply Knox to the tale so it doesn't really come as a surprise she knew about golden truth. Likely she would have known of purple truth and whatever colour you can come up truth as well.
This doesn't make any better the fact that the golden truth is used like that, although there's to say similar not foreshadowed, surprise, hyperpowerful devices are used all the time in anime so maybe Ryukishi didn't think anything of it (I've always found it a bad move in whatever show it was though but it's so recurring when it happens I'm not surprised).
And... ehm... someone can refresh my mind on when Will used the golden truth? I can't remember...

Actually, due to timeloops, Beatrice died on December 5th in the evening after the 2nd Twilight, and then came back to life before the first Twilight on another Gameboard.
Beatrice came back to life BEFORE SHE DIED in linear time. Suck on that!

As an example, let's say I observe that the stars in the sky appear to rotate in a mostly regular pattern around the earth. From this I profess that the Earth is the center of the universe. Supplemented with other information (such as religion and other observations), this is a truth that people would come to accept, although the conclusion is in fact faulty. However, it would take a much deeper degree of rational study to conclude things like the transversals of the planets do not conform to the model of a geocentric universe. And a greater degree of courage still from there to conclude that the "gold truth" of Earth at the center of the universe is wrong.
Nobody deceived me into believing the Earth was the center of the universe and I wasn't deceiving others when I suggested it to them. They believed me because my facts (red) appeared to present that scenario as the most reasonable truth. We weren't exactly accepting on faith that my conclusion followed from my premise, we were just wrong. Jumping to conclusions. Failing to notice all the data.
I'm not disputing your claims, just that I'd use a different word than "faith," because it implies the person accepting it isn't doing so based on reasonable facts that appear conclusive (but aren't) when in fact they could be.

I can believe in something because I valued all the fact and that seems the truth and I can believe in something merely out of faith or out of personal will.
All this regardless of my belief being the truth or not.
Probably whoever read Umineko, valued all the facts and believes Yasu is Ikuko can say it in gold and whoever believes Yasu isn't Ikuko can say it in gold as well.
In the same way if someone heard by a friend that Yasu is/isn't Ikuko and believes him, even if he had never read Umineko, he too will be able to say it in gold.
But more interesting, who believes that Rosa is the culprit is likely able to say it in gold and his gold truth can be stronger or weaker than the red truth Yasu did it, according to the strenght of his belief (which can be based on reasoning or an 'I heard it from my friend' or 'I dislike Rosa and I want her to be the culprit' or whatever else...)
Going along on this line probably the game master could have said the description of all the fantasy scenes in gold if he was good enough to delude himself that was all it went...

What I've been trying to say all along is that the creator and the believer are one and the same. Gold truth is not "presented", since its creation is the belief itself.
Gold truth can be the result of belief in presented information, but it is not that presented information itself.

I would call the red truth "the truth of the world" and the golden truth "the truth of the heart". The truth in the world of Umineko is that everybody except Eva died between the 4th and 6th October 1986 and even the one who survived is so crippled that he regards "the survivor" in himself as nothing more than a ghost. Yet Ange sets her heart on her family living on, it is not something that can be proven in any way, it can only be felt.
I would consider it, setting your heart on something so decisively, that no evidence, no proof, no testimony can convince you of something else.
Rosa went to get the key, thus the chapel must be locked.
This corpse has 6 toes therefore it is Kinzo's.
EDIT: Btw because I can just check the anime right now. Did Rosa try the door in the VN before going to get the key? Or was she just told that it would be locked and ran to the guesthouse?

Especially given Will's hint as well, about the "gold truth locking the lock of illusions." Not that this makes the discussion about how to exactly interpret the gold truth any clearer, but it's pretty clear what he's implying.
Though it's kind of odd that Rosa went for the key while the cousins were still asleep, considering that Yasu wanted to present this mystery to Battler. Wouldn't it be way more impressive if they'd first lead the cousins, and thus Battler, to the "locked" chapel, just for the key to turn up in Rosa's bag, seemingly having been there the entire night? Maybe something did indeed go wrong. For example, the door, old and rusty as it might be (implied by the magic scene later), refused to open when they wanted to check on the adults.
Possibly Will's hint is about how the twilight was supposed to be, minus the little accident.
If everyone still believed that it's just a game, they'd obviously be concerned if they can't open the door to see how they're doing. Maybe Yasu was the first to check the door, when she went there to paint the symbol, and got flustered enough to call her accomplices.
Crack Prime-theory: Battler didn't actually go to Rokkenjima.
Two possibilites:
a) he got so drunk the night before the trip that he forgot... and a car hit him on the road. Not sure whether Kawabata actually confirmed that he went there. Quite crack but not crack enough.
b) The hint was there from the start - FALL FALL KYAKYAKAYKYAKYAKYA. When Kawabata showed off his new boat Battler fell off without him or anyone noticing. Well, not everyone; Maria obviously saw it, but who believes her anyway? Only later, on Rokkenjima after Kawabata had already left, it dawned on them.
Erika's made-up backstory is obviously just another hint. Or Battler's absence during EP7. As well as the "third day"; Dlanor can't touch this.
Yasu was so disappointed and frustrated that she just pushed the headship on one of the adults (Eva in this case), lead her to the tunnel towards Kuwadorian to go meet "father" in form of the ring, said "fuck it" and blew the rest up.
= Kawabata accidental culprit theory. <What do you think, everyone?!>
If this was the reason for all my hardship in life, I'd throw myself from a skyscraper too.

Well, in a fashion this would match with Ep 7, in which Battler didn't went on the island for random reasons... (probably Bern didn't want/couldn't let him him to meet Will...)

We could go even further: Ange was convinced in EP4 that if she hadn't "betrayed" Maria, nothing would've happened. Maybe Maria didn't just know about Battler's fall, maybe she pushed him off to get back at Ange! Gives "FALL FALL KYAKYAKYAKYAKYAKYAKYA" a whole new meaning - it's actually "FALL!!!!! FALL!!!!! KYAKYAKYAKYAKYA!"
Of course, had Battler returned a year earlier either Kawabata's tuning hadn't gone out of hand yet (just read the scene in EP1, apparently he has been tinkering continuously with his boat) or Ange was still part of Mariage Sorciere (when exactly did their breakup happen anyway? I always assumed it happened during the 1985-family conference). A year later... and Yasu might've not been there to blow everyone up.
No wonder Battler seemed pretty clueless in EP1-4!
Alright, that's enough crack from me for now. Sorry if those kind of "lol-theories" belong to the fanfiction topic as this is obviously just as serious as the parallels between Willy Wonka and Beatrice. Though, in the end do we know whether Battler was really there? Sure, everyone expected him to be there...

Oh god, too off-topic. Must talk about Umineko. Erm, EP2, 4-6th Twilight. Shannon doesn't even need to hide the weapon she killed herself with: after shooting George and Gohda, to make the magic perfect she threw her gun out of the window (and locked it again)...
...sat in front of the Natsuhi's night table... put the stake on the night table...
...pointed the stake upwards. Imagine the rest. Both her head and the stake were lying on the night table. She didn't hide the weapon, it was lying right there.
It's hard to get a good grasp of the stake so staking is normally impossible. Unless the "victim" is pretty "willing" and "committed" to the staking process, then it might work.
Not important, just another take on it and probably common knowledge: but I saw some here refer to her "hiding the weapon she kills herself with via a trick as usual" in EP4. "as usual" = there is only one other moment where she is actually dead (AND observed) before the end of the game in EP1-4. Therefore they seem to refer to EP2, so I thought that its still worth to mention this. I don't think she pulled this one in EP4 though: luckily there is a hole in the ground right beside her for a gun to fall into.

Thought so too but... hey, I didn't want to go too much off-topic now.
In EP4: assuming that the grate is large enough for medium-sized objects to fall through it's just a pretty simple trick:
For example, attach something heavy to the gun with a rope (my english fails me here and I'm not a gun-expert to begin with... at the part of the gun that points towards the user), let the weight hang through the the grate; the weight should pull it down after you stop holding it - shoot.
Though there might be issues with the depicted distance between Shannon and the well.
Even easier: just stand above the well, look down right into the barrel... carries the risk that the gun might not fall through the grate or the body's placement being too obvious (too close).
Just like Kumasawa and Gohda in the same EP, looks like more than it actually is. In some other mystery novels you'd get some weird, convoluted structure that somehow made it possible to achieve the same thing. Especially in something like Detective Conan.
In fact, Nanjo and Shannon are - as far as I know - more less the only ones that could've pulled this one off, and Nanjo has this one nifty red about him and murder. I don't want to know how Rosa managed to fall on shotgun she killed herself with (if that is KNMs explanation), while still hitting her head with the bullet. Well, there is one exception though: anyone from "Kyrie's group" except for Kyrie could've hid the gun "somewhere in the woods" (another dumb trick: with remote fire... just block the trigger with a piece of wood that's attached to a line while a tree-branch exerts pressure on it... pull the line when ready; add more convoluted tricks to get rid of the line and wood), so here goes Krausstrice.
I just highly doubt that Ryukishi has used any such "complex" tricks for just this one thing because he never used any during the story. Or they were at least not necessary.

You know...
Thinking about EP4, and Kyrie's group, there were only two people who didn't do anything, and that's Nanjo and Kyrie.
The others had fought.
Shannon and Kanon linked up to fight against the Chiesters. Krauss had his battle against Virgilia's strongest Goat.
Nanjo... he... ran super fast for someone his weight and age? Kyrie... she hid for a while inside a locked room.
Especially for Kyrie, who had been shown to slow time down during her fight against Leviathan in EP3, in EP4 she was reduced to running away.
It's been a while since the last time I've read EP6, but even that had boiled down to the same thing: Kyrie running away to lock herself in a room.
This contradicts the images of her given in Bern's EP7 Tea Party, and her EP8 game. I'm willing to claim that the images of Ep4 represents a form of their actions: Shannon and Kanon personalities were fighting for control against Beatrice, Krauss may have fought against Yasu physically even... but Kyrie and Nanjo? They ran and hid. Any reason they may have had in aiding Yasu may have just been because they trembled in front of Yasu, and Kyrie was never really all that to begin with.
Even what she tells Jessica about "killing Asumu," fits this. She was "prepared to take Asumu's life herself." so that when Asumu did die do to circumstances beyond Kyrie's control, Kyrie still says that she did it herself.. But that's just the thing: Kyrie did not kill Asumu, and this will not change regardless of what Kyrie claim.
I think Kyrie is just a sham, and is not as mentally prepared to carry out a mass murder as shown in Ep7 and 8.

I heard KnM's Rosa=Beatrice theory recently too...
Though it doesn't line up.
At least not if we all agree that the culprit is the same for every game.
here are a few of my problems with Rosa=Beatrice
It is true that Rosa would have an easy time dressing up as beatrice - she is a fashin designer after all, and her clothes have pretty much the same color pattern as the ones Piece-Beato used in the 2nd Game.
So yeah I rewatched the anime as it was said Ryokishi hid additonal hints in there a few things I realized there for the first time:
- The locked/unlocked status of a room is almost never checked by the detective, in most cases it isn't checked at all and everyone just assumes them to be locked simply because their owners have the habit of locking them.
- Genji took a knife out of the kitchen. both Kumasawa as well as Najo had their throats cut open in the second game - it is later shown that he still has that very knife even at the point were He stays behind in the kitchen while the other 3 leave. He is also the one to discover the corpses of Najo and Kumasawa.
- You never actually see Kanon Slit their throates, you do however see how Shanon jumps back. if Genji had given her the knife she could have easily done that in the process.
When 'Kanon' came in claiming Rosa is the culprit whiel having a would you can pretty much assume that he is telling the truth, however please don't forget:
At the time Jessica was killed, Rosa was with several other people.
Now lets compare all this to a few rules we already know about:
Batler's sin and Beatrice:
It is a sin Batler comitted against Beatrice, 6 yeras ago, meaning while he was 12.
I saw someone claiming the sin was him being Maria's father(Comment at the KnM Video) ... Aehm, hello? Its not like we haven't seen Rosa flirting with him, and going easy on him no matter how much he opposed her, and cut into their family affairs. however please note: Maria is NINE, not six, nine. Meaning battler would have been 9 when Maria was born.
So nope being Maria's father was most certainly not his sin against Rosa. In fact the only other way you could connect Rosa to battler is the theory some people brought up in the past that Rodulf is Maria's father.
Still no sin Battler --> Rosa
Rosa Culprit:
No matter how you loo at it, Rosa couldn't have done any crime after the first twilight.
The first one was indeed possible for her, the others though not.
So she would have needed genji's help. He was the only one who could have comitted all the other crimes, as Shanon/Kanon was with Jessica at that time, leaving Genji unaccounted for.
However as soon as you turn Genji into her accomplice for the other murder's he becomes much more than an accomplice - he becomes a culprit.
Accdoring to Will none of the servants must be the culprit
George accomplice:
What applies to Rosa in game two applies to him as well, during several murders he was within eyereach of battler thus not able to commit any crime.
then there is another rule one must not overlook:
There are no accomplices. There is but one killer and he did it all alone.
And here a soft rule:
'Beatrice' killed them all
Adding that and a few other things together only few arguments for Rosatrice are left, like for example 2nd game Beato's apparance and the fact that Rosa was the one having seen her dead - so she could have devleoped a 'Beatrice personality'.

SHIRLEY GIARD OF Bridport gives a hug to her cat, Trucker, who returned home recently after going missing three years ago when the Giards' former home burned down. Trucker was one of five cats that disappeared after the fire.

BRIDPORT — There was a part of Shirley Giard that never gave up hope she might find her yellow cat, Trucker.
After a fire destroyed her Bridport home three years ago, Giard and her husband, Harold, assumed their five cats and yellow Amazon parrot were dead. They moved into another house on their farm property and thanked their lucky stars the fire hadn't done more damage. After all, neither of them had been hurt and their two dogs made it out alive.
But even after settling into their new home, Shirley couldn't stop thinking about Trucker.
Earlier this month, three years and one week after the fire, Giard saw something yellow darting off her front porch. The next day, her daughter caught a glimpse of the same thing, and went out to see what it was. It was Trucker. He had come home, just in time for Christmas.
"This is the greatest gift I could have gotten," Giard said. "It's a Christmas miracle."
The yellow cat looked healthy, well-fed and a little older. Giard recognized him by the way he nuzzled his head under her chin when she picked him up. Giard's dog, Lexi, also perked up when he saw his old pal.
"He must have found someone like us who feeds stray cats," she said.
In the early days after the fire, Giard would wander over to the site of the old house and call the cats' names. None ever responded. Each summer she would mow the lawn by the old homestead, keeping her eyes peeled for cats, especially Trucker.

MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury residents on Jan. 31 will be asked for their feedback on the notion of slightly raising one or more of the town's sales and use, meals, rooms or alcohol taxes as a means of generating revenues to help pay for a new in-town bridge.
Selectmen on Tuesday voted unanimously to call for the Jan. 31 public hearing, which will focus on the concept of Middlebury adopting "local option taxes."
Residents would then get a chance on Town Meeting Day to vote for or against a plan to lobby the Legislature for a change in the town charter that would allow Middlebury to boost, by 1 percent, one (or a combination of several) of its sales and use, meals, rooms or alcohol taxes.
If the Legislature were to approve a charter change, selectmen would then have the authority to call a townwide vote to ask residents to endorse one or more local option taxes. The resulting revenues would flow into Middlebury's general fund and be put toward paying off the proposed $16 million in-town bridge project. Middlebury College has already promised $9 million in financing for the project, the centerpiece of which would be a new bridge that would connect Main Street with Court Street across the Otter Creek, via Cross Street. That leaves a $7 million gap that selectmen are trying to creatively fill without hammering locals with a property tax increase.
"Certainly, (local options taxes) are an option that would allow us to get to our goal of financing the remaining $7 million for the bridge without having a significant impact on the property tax, which we are all very concerned about going through this budget," said Selectman Dean George, who is chairman of the town's bridge committee.

BRISTOL — The Five Town Massive, an annual arts and entertainment extravaganza staged in Bristol during the last week in December, will be shorter this year than it was last — only four nights instead of five — but organizers expect it to be even bigger.
"We're trying to do the biggest show we've done," said Josef Shafer, one organizer of the events and one of the original founders.
The upcoming Five Town Massive, which will be staged from Dec. 26 to 29 mostly at Holley Hall, will be the ninth. Shafer and several friends, now working as 9:37 Productions, founded it as a way to both help local artists find an audience and to bring art and culture created by independent artists from the wide world to Bristol and the other towns in northeastern Addison County. Shafer said that this year, he and the other organizers feel they have struck a good balance.
"We've always struggled to have enough content from Vermont and (the rest of) the world, and this year we've nailed it," he said.
In previous years the Massive was a number of different events all on one night, until in 2006 Shafer and crew spread them out so each could have room to breathe as it were. The shortened schedule of this year's Five Town Massive is simply because Christmas this year falls on a Tuesday, Shafer said. A full five-day schedule would have taken it into a Sunday performance, which they wanted to avoid.

MIDDLEBURY — Local environmental groups and business leaders are planning the first in a series of annual events they hope will give Addison County a reputation for being the state's hub for "green" technology and conservation.
The event, tentatively scheduled for March 1 in Middlebury, is being called the first annual "Green Energy Expo," a day-long event that will offer visitors workshops on how to make their homes and businesses more fuel-efficient; examples of new technology that can power homes without relying on fossil fuels; and samples of locally grown food.
"It will be a free day for people to come down, participate, learn from workshops and see local vendors," said Netaka White, an organizer of the event, which will be held in Middlebury College's McCardell Bicentennial Hall.
White explained that the seeds for the expo were planted during a series of "creative economy" forums held this past summer in Middlebury. Those forums were designed to help the community devise, and follow through, on projects to spice up the local economy.
Creative economy participants came up with three main ideas for Middlebury to pursue, including making better use of the Otter Creek as an economic calling card; founding a creative economy association; and "establishing the Middlebury area as a pioneer in renewable energy production and management." The first annual Green Energy Expo is a direct response to that third mandate, White noted.

BRISTOL — Last Thursday's performance of "Night Fires" drew an enthusiastic crowd to Holley Hall in Bristol for two hours of music, dance and evocative costumes, but it may be the beginning of the end for the annual winter solstice celebration. After 26 years of organizing the festivity, founder and director Marianne Lust plans to step down.
"I'm 60 years old, and it seems time to think about what I should do next," said Lust, a Lincoln resident.
"Night Fires" is a mix of carnival and opera that recalls centuries of festivities around the shortest day of the year — the winter solstice, which is Dec. 22 this year — and the climb back up to light. It features songs, dances and costumes inspired by cultures around the world in a passionate performance.
Each year the production tells a different story. Previous years have focused on St. Francis of Assisi, a Dutch Jew who died in Auschwitz and the diaries of a young girl whose family settled in Oregon in the late 19th century, among other themes.
"It's a really unique production," said Solveig Overby, publicity director for the Night Fires Theater Group Ltd.
Whatever the storyline, every production shares the common theme of a journey, sometimes a struggle, from darkness into light.
"The winter solstice is about going from the darkness into the light, and that's what we're trying to do," Lust said. This year's "Night Fires" is focused on the walls around the world — from Berlin to Israel to the Texas-Mexican border — that separate people from each other and from the natural world, the harm those walls do, and how to break them down.

ADDISON — Addison's multi-year effort to put new zoning laws into place came to an end on Nov. 27, when selectmen adopted the planning commission's latest version of updated regulations. Planners had forwarded that version to the selectboard earlier this year.
Selectmen acted immediately after a Nov. 27 public hearing that, unlike earlier hearings on proposed zoning, was sparsely attended. In the spring of 2006 about 200 residents came to a hearing on planners' initial proposal, and not to heap praise on it — most said proposed zoning laws were too restrictive.
After that meeting planners went back to the drawing board for about a dozen-and-a-half meetings, most of which were also attended by former Addison selectboard chairman Tim Buskey. They worked to create the laws that 30 residents at a May 2007 public hearing generally found acceptable, and that selectmen approved on Nov. 27 after a few more changes.
Current selectboard Chairman Jeff Kauffman said selectmen saw declining attendance at the public hearings as a sign that residents had accepted the new laws, which ended up not making too many dramatic changes to former regulations.
"Our thinking was the questions must have been answered, and the (new) regs are pretty similar to what we have," Kauffman said.
Planning commission Chairwoman Sally Conway, who plans to step down from the planning board after 12 years when her term expires in March, said planners don't believe the new laws are ideal, but a key new element will make adapting the laws to the town's needs easier in the future.
The laws created a separate development review board (DRB) to handle all zoning applications. Planners think that move will free them to focus on the town's future and on fine-tuning zoning if necessary.

Park rangers protect the natural areas that we all enjoy and benefit from – sometimes risking paying the highest price, as is demonstrated by the tragic incident that just recently occurred in Mount Rainier National Park, Washington:
Park ranger Margaret Anderson, 34, was shot on New Year's Day while on duty. She set up a traffic block to stop a car that had passed an earlier checkpoint violating some winter driving regulations. The driver opened fire, killing her, and then fled into the woods. His body was found dead in the park the next day.
Margaret Anderson leaves behind a husband, who is also a ranger, and two young girls. Nearly 3,000 people attended the memorial service on 10 January. Even though she was only the 9th ranger killed on duty in the history of the US National Park Service, the numbers have increased over the last 20 years.
In other countries around the world, such as the Democratic Republic of Congo, rangers have to face even greater danger on their job, arising not only from the risk associated to their work in the wild but often from humans; particularly in a pace of armed conflicts and difficult anti-poaching operations. The great risks that rangers such as Margaret Anderson and her colleagues worldwide take to protect our nature should not be underestimated. They are protecting places that contribute to the health of the planet and therefore benefit all of us. These "guardians" of an increasingly threatened nature deserves society's respect and highest recognition.

We all know that a solid credit score, a strong track record of consistent on-time payments and a clean credit history are all necessary to get a low-interest loan or approved for a credit card, but other not-so-obvious factors also play a role.
Continue Reading Below
Lenders also consider your custom credit score. Although it takes your credit score into account, a custom score is generally used by various lenders to more closely evaluate risk factors relevant to what you are to fund with the line of credit. Lenders who use custom scores tend to dig a little deeper with due their due diligence before arriving at a decision.
"Not every creditor is required to report your credit," according to Bruce McClary, an NFCC consumer certified educator for Clear Point, a non-profit credit counselor headquartered in Richmond, Va.
For that reason, McClary says many major lenders use their own internal credit scoring systems to help make lending decisions. "Each one is different from the others." Consumers who have a good credit score can get rejected by the lender because of their length of time at a job or how frequently they have moved.
Sometimes in developing a custom score, a prospective landlord will be more focused on how consistently you paid your rent or mortgage on time. On the other hand, if you're buying a used car, a dealer may factor in your traditional credit report more heavily.
"These scores are developed by lenders internally to predict the future behavior of their customers," says Saurabh Sharma, president and CEO of Indus Insights, an analytical consulting firm with extensive management experience in credit policy.
"Remember the questions that you fill in on the application form when you are applying for a loan or a credit card? Most of those responses also go into creating a custom score for you," he pointed out. Whether you are salaried or self-employed can be taken into consideration, or if you have a checking account.
In the end though, the goal is the same: Creditors want to make sure they can trust borrowers to make payments. So follow a few basic steps, McClary advises: "Pay your bills on time. Make sure you have steady income. Don't rack up too much debt."
What makes you appealing to one makes you appealing to all, noted Karen Carlson, director of education at InCharge Debt Solutions, a non-profit credit counseling agency in Orlando, Fla. If your credit has been damaged, Carlson suggests ensuring that fresh information about you is reported to credit agencies.
Consider getting a line of credit at your bank or applying for a credit card and make sure you pay it off regularly in order to rebuild your credit. The strategies for getting a good custom credit score are similar to those for getting a good credit score.
"If you can't pay off the entire balance, at least pay the minimum due amount," Sharma says. Stay away from maxing out your credit cards, don't apply for too many loans at the same time, and remember that a lender who already has a relationship with you might be more willing to overlook some blemishes on your credit record.

text: Vincent, I can well imagine that the topic is very competitive at some level; and I'm certainly not seeking to leech industrial secrets from IBM or anyone else. I'm just curious about the physics plausibility of something vaguely along those lines. To quote from someone who replied offline, "...But you[r] description was a little weak, as when you wrote ''Then compute the inverse'' whereas sharpening-up an image by using the appropriate computed holograph/diffraction mask is not usually described as computing an inverse. Also, it assumes that the features are larger than the wavelength of the light so that you can take advantage of the diffraction effects...." I'm sure calling my description "a little weak" was generous :-) Lots of the readers of this list are professional physicists working with sensitive material. I intend no slight and expect no counter-contractual revelations :-) That said, I'm pleased with myself to have composed a paragraph of material outside my areas of expertise, but which provoked some reaction :-) But as a physicist, I could take lessons from Democritus. And you can even beat me at chess, so, um, fear my enumerative-combinatorics-implemented-in-C :-) But sheesh, probably someone does that better than I do, too.

The second thing I saw tonight, courtesy of Hugh Hewitt, was this astonishing story of misreporting at the Los Angeles Times:
A quote in a fake news release that was intended as an April Fool's joke ended up in a front-page story in the Los Angeles Times.
The story in Tuesday's editions of the Times noted how successful the reintroduction of wolves had been 10 years ago, but said the predators remained controversial.
"In Wyoming, for example, Gov. Dave Freudenthal last April decreed that the Endangered Species Act is no longer in force and that the state 'now considers the wolf as a federal dog,' unworthy of protection," the story read.
The Times printed a correction Wednesday, acknowledging that the news release was a hoax.
"The reporter saw it on the Internet and had talked with the governor in the past, so she was familiar enough with the way he talks and writes that she thought it sounded authentic, and she didn't check, which she should have," Times Deputy Metro Editor David Lauter told the Casper Star Tribune.
"We hate when this kind of thing happens, and we correct it as quickly as we can," Lauter said.
Apart from the story's obvious entertainment value, here are a few observations on this fiasco:
First, the story quoted above is from the Associated Press, meaning it will gain much wider circulation than the usual newspaper correction, which is buried deep inside the paper and seen by few.
Second, in order to appreciate what a monumental blunder this was, you really have to read the original story, which is available here (registration required). The theme of the article is that the reintroduction of wolves into the wild has been a big success, but they are still endangered by ignorant yahoos who try to shoot them. The bogus quote from the Governor of Wyoming plays a key role in the story:
But now, as the Fish and Wildlife Service ponders a delisting plan that would turn over management of the wolves to the states, federal officials are balking at plans they fear would allow hunters to exterminate whole packs.
In Wyoming, for example, Gov. Dave Freudenthal last April decreed that the Endangered Species Act is no longer in force and that the state "now considers the wolf as a federal dog," unworthy of protection. The governor's declaration reflects the views of hunters and ranchers that the wolves are decimating elk herds and devouring cattle and sheep.
So the April Fool's Day story showed up as an important element in an article that was printed on the front page of the Times.
Third, the error is so ridiculous on its face that it reveals both the bias and the ignorance that afflict both the Times' reporters and its editors, who not only read and approved the article, but decided it was important enough to put on the front page. Think about it: the Times reported that the Governor of Wyoming decreed that the Endangered Species Act "is no longer in force" in his state. That is simply absurd, and it reflects the paper's profound ignorance of the world on which it seeks to report. The Times reporter not only failed to realize that the quote was ridiculous, but deemed it so inherently credible that she printed it based on an internet search that she didn't bother to verify. How could that happen? It happened because the editors and reporters at the Los Angeles Times take it for granted that people who live in weird states like Wyoming are dangerously ignorant yahoos who need to be taken in hand by the federal bureaucracy.
This incident sheds some much-needed light into the operation of a very troubled news organization.

These buffers often end up acting as a bottleneck for network throughput of SCP, especially on long and high bandwith network links. Modifying the ssh code to allow the buffers to be defined at run time eliminates this bottleneck. We have created a patch ..." I started testing with wget in one side and an apache in the other, and everything went back to what I expected. so my advice is: test the network with something else, but not ssh nor scp.

Trans-Neptunian Object
This is an artist's concept of a craggy piece of solar system debris that belongs to a class of bodies called trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs). Most TNOs are small and faint, making them difficult to spot. Generally, they are more than 100 million times fainter than objects visible to the unaided eye. The newfound TNOs range from 25 to 60 miles (40-100 km) across. In this illustration, the distant Sun is reduced to a bright star at a distance of over 3 billion miles. Astronomers culling the data archives of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have added 14 new TNOs to the catalog. Their search method promises to turn up hundreds more.

Powerless in Kanpur
Katiyabaaz - master of illegal connections
Documentary on the power crisis in Kanpur, a North Indian city.
"Kaatiyabaaz" is a compelling documentary film that highlights the power crisis in Kanpur, a city of three million people in north India.
It has all the elements of a steamy Hindi movie: 45-degree Celsius heat, power outages that last 12-15 hours, and illegal connections that come up every night and disappear in the morning. The everyday characters are gripping too. There's a Robin-Hood-like street electrician who "provides power" by hooking to transmission lines. An upright bureaucrat (a woman, imagine that!) trying to get people to pay their bills and prevent theft. A city full of tired, angry citizens fed up with poor service provided. The film underlines how people will do whatever it takes to get some juice in their wires so that they can get lights, fans, water…the basic necessities of 20th century life.

California Carpool Cheat Cited For Chucky Doll
By RJ Johnson - @rickerthewriter
January 12, 2018
While it is exciting for Bay Area residents that Jon Gruden is returning as the Oakland Raiders' coach, the California Highway Patrol would like to remind drivers that dolls are not valid passengers to use the carpool lane.
That's what one California driver learned after a Contra Costa CHP officer pulled the carpool cheat over to cite him for the violation. But, when the officer saw who was riding shotgun, he couldn't resist snapping a photo of the titular character from "Child's Play". The Contra Costa CHP then tweeted out the photo noting that "Chucky" just cost the driver a carpool ticket.
"We know JON GRUDEN is back, and we love it too, but this will definitely not work as your carpool passenger! But hilarious! A for effort ... and here's your carpool ticket."

The tweet references returning Oakland Raiders coach Jon Gruden after he was given the nickname "Chucky" for his fierce expressions and resemblance to the doll while on the sidelines. Gruden is reportedly not
Carpool violations in California can cost drivers a cool $490 for a first violation. With that kind of money, you could buy 98 "Childs' Play" DVDs (on sale for $5 at Walmart), a four pack of tickets to an Oakland Raiders Game (the good seats) and three "Chucky" dolls (not that anyone needs more than one).

Take a Photo and Be Part of the "No Shame About Being HIV Positive" Campaign!
By Kevin Maloney
January 23, 2013
The Campaign
This is a campaign inspired by Chelsea Clinton raising awareness by holding a simple sign for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria. My vision for this campaign is to mobilize people in places across the United States and the World willing to stand up to Stigma and Rise Up To HIV, all in an effort of realizing the UN Goals of getting to ZERO. The biggest barrier I believe to realizing these goals is STIGMA.
What Is Stigma?
We hear this word thrown around A LOT, but do we all know what it is? AIDS-related stigma and discrimination refers to prejudice, negative attitudes, abuse and maltreatment directed at people living with HIV and AIDS. The consequences of stigma and discrimination are wide-ranging: being shunned by family, peers and the wider community, poor treatment in healthcare and education settings, an erosion of rights, psychological damage and a negative effect on the success of HIV testing and treatment. (Ref: Avert.org -- read more.)
How to Join the Campaign
On Facebook: simply tag RiseUpToHIV with your photo and a sentence or two about yourself, or a bio if you have one. Visit the event page to see who else is participating, and you may visit the facebook album of folks who have already submitted a photo.
On Twitter: You can tweet an image and sentence to @RiseUpToHIV.
If you are good with Photoshop or any other editing software you may submit a photo of yourself with the words "No Shame About Being HIV Positive."
If you are not on Facebook or on Twitter, you can mail your photo to firstname.lastname@example.com and I will be sure to place it in the album here.
Expanded Purpose and Vision
As stated, the purpose of this campaign is to play a role in the overall HIV/AIDS community in an effort to reduce stigma by mobilizing people and engaging them in communities across the world to Rise Up To HIV by proclaiming there is NO Shame About Being HIV Positive! How will this be accomplished? Through the power of social media, and through an army of caring and compassionate individuals, either infected or affected by HIV/AIDS who choose to take part in this campaign. ASO involvement in this campaign is strongly encouraged.
For as long as stigma exists, and I am alive, and the Web still exists, this campaign will carry on, evolve, grow and hopefully do some good in the process, and in the end you will have helped make this campaign the success I know it will be! The sign campaign is the first phase of a three-phase approach. Details to be forthcoming in the coming weeks/months.
Proposed Outcomes
To get people talking about HIV/AIDS again -- in schools, at the dinner table, in the car, on the radio, on TV and all throughout social media and with foot soldiers on the ground. We need all hands on deck if we are going to finally realize the end of this epidemic. This campaign will identify and mobilize individuals making a difference in their communities. It's been known that when you are engaged in your own care, you'll engage others, which will in turn create healthier communities.
This is not the first anti-stigma campaign, and certainly won't be the last. I have seen some amazing campaigns doing good things in communities across the country and across the Web since finding out my diagnosis nearly three years ago. In my opinion, not enough awareness and education campaigns can exist to tackle this issue.
Are You Currently Facing STIGMA? Well Know This!
You matter, your life matters and you are filled with purpose! You are no less of a person because you have HIV, and if treated and you stay on treatment, you can live a very normal and productive life (like many you see in the photos in this campaign). You can still dream big, and live out those dreams (your dreams are not infected). Don't let HIV take away your power, instead become empowered and Rise Up To HIV.
It's what I did; it's what's gotten me through. There is no greater feeling or power then to be able to stand up to your fears, to not be kidnapped by your illness, to be amongst people who understand, to be knowledgeable or gain greater understanding of something you may have thought you had no control over, but you do. Rise up to HIV and help end the stigma!
I am also seeking stories of people in the world who are facing stigma. Where in the world are you and what stigma/discrimination are you facing? Email your story to firstname.lastname@example.com -- stories will not be published, unless you want it to be and want the world to know.
Thank you for your participation in this campaign.

Rising Up and Speaking Out About HIV and Hepatitis C
Kevin Maloney
Random things about me: I am kind, caring, respectful and wanting to make a difference/impact in the World. I've been to Australia, New Zealand and 13 countries in Europe, and have traveled and lived all over the United States. I have a Bachelor's degree in Health Services Management and will be working towards my Master's In Public Health. I am an uncle of two of the MOST adorable girls in the World, and have one brother. I am a Momma's boy, and it is hard to see my mother's health in such a deteriorated state -- she has severe COPD (from 40 years of smoking). In March 2010 I was told that I have HIV and a month later, with follow-up labs, was then told I also acquired hepatitis C (not through IV drug use). I aspire to great things. Stay tuned.

One of democracy's basic principles is to hold regular, free and fair elections. Elections ensure that the governing remains accountable to the governed. The right to vote is another defining characteristic of democracy. The hard-fought expansion of suffrage in established democracies in the 20th century led to the steady decline of the voting age, thus extending the right to vote to the world's youth.
Why, then, is our generation increasingly failing to exercise this right?
Global voter turnout is lowest among young voters (18-29 years). Although political engagement is by no means simply about formal, institutionalized processes, as it stands, voting is one of the most—if not the most—immediate way of impacting the quality of democratic governance.
Our generation has transformed political expression – through interest groups, demonstrations, and social media. Our generation has also developed the most social capital – the electoral power of the most diverse and world-connected generation in history. We owe it to ourselves to start countering voter apathy among our peers.
We have the most to gain and the most to lose.
The International IDEA Study, Voter Turnout Since 1945, highlights a number of factors influencing youth electoral participation, including voter distrust, level of education, and access to polls. A number of innovative strategies are being employed globally to draw young people into the electoral process. Here are three ways that could help raise youth electoral participation:
Modernize the electoral process: The limited use of electronic voting in Europe and North America contrasts sharply with trends seen in South America and Asia, where not only is the use of electronic voting more prevalent, but also heavily encouraged. Brazil and India have been using electronic voting machines for over a decade. They have seen benefits in the quality of their elections as a result. Whether it is fingerprint-based biometric voting or voter verified paper audit trails, these countries' advancements in improving the integrity and security of technological voting systems will be invaluable to those wishing to reap the "youth vote" through the use of digital technologies.
Lower the voting age: 18 is the most common minimum voting age around the world. In some countries, this age goes up as high as 21. Young people pay taxes, serve in the military, and start families. Why are they denied the right to choose their leaders and stand for elections? Rolling back the voting age is one way to encourage and socialize the early politicization of youth as formal participants of a democracy. Evidence from Austria confirms that extending voting rights to 16-year-olds promotes higher turnout.
Make attendance compulsory at the polls: Should electoral participation be considered a citizen's duty? Belgium, Argentina, and Australia were among the first countries to introduce compulsory voting laws. To date, approximately 38 countries have experimented with compulsory voting, with varying levels of enforcement. Spoiled ballots and uninformed votes have always been part of democratic systems. Yet, the existence of compulsory voting leaves a lasting imprint on political culture and people's propensity to vote. This is no more evident than in Australia, a model country with upwards of 90% turnout federally—ever since the law was first enforced in 1924.
Democracy is about us, by us and for us. We must do our part to re-engage our peers in the political and democratic process. After all, every election is determined by the people who show up.
What do you think about elections? Tell us in the comments section.
Great piece of writing.
Great piece of writing. Raises many issues faced by our contemporary global society yet simultaneously invities critical discussion ;D
This is ridiculous and
This is ridiculous and unproductive.
None of these suggestions will raise participation, and I suspect the author of this blog knows it.
Why I don't vote?
It's really simple: it doesn't matter. The so-called democracy is a scam, and I'm not going to legitimize that scam by participating in it.
Democracy has been outsourced and privatized. It has moved away from the voters.
In my country, Norway, for instance, we get more and more and more laws and regulations from the EU, although we're not even a member of it. And I don't even think that the EU-citizens were allowed to vote over these regulations and laws. Just as they were not allowed to vote for their president, Van Rompuy, who as the sole contender for the president-title got a 100% of the votes. That makes Tadjikistan look like a glittering beacon of democracy in comparison.
We had a referendum about joining the EU. The people said no. Still the politicians took us in through the backdoor called the 'EEC'.
Can we use democracy to get us out? No. It's an option we are not given. Any politician trying to suggest such a thing would be shot down by ridicule or other propaganda-techniques in media.
Basically, the only thing we are allowed to vote for in Norway is how long may shops stay open. And possibly, how late should bars be allowed to serve beer. And even those politicians who promise change in these areas, and then get elected, will break their promises as soon as their in office.
Give us our damn democracy back and we'll vote.
Until then: DON'T VOTE! IT'S A SCAM!
Like you stated in your
Like you stated in your article that democracys basic principles include regular, free and fair elections. In your article I would have liked to read about how regular, free and fair elections are and how this affects participation.
If citizens, especially the enlighted ones, have litle or no confidence in the electro systems, they are likely to loose interest in the whole process. As it is today, the electro systems are bent to serve some specific interests and not the wishes of the majority. That so called democracy is not practiced in most states thus its self defeating to discuss participation without democracy it self.
youth voting percentage is
youth voting percentage is sharply increasing in India. recently in the election of delhi & other 4 states youth participated in large number. other then this to avoid global warming we should encourage people for ride sharing. there are lots of benefits of ride sharing like save money, split cost, travel safe, congestion free roads etc. i know one portal promoting this in India is www.letsride.in you can register yourself for free and can find and share ride.

Password Resets on Email Key to Online Compromise
Taking over someone's digital identity is not that difficult if you have access to that person's email account. A researcher conducted a "small experiment" to illustrate just how easy it is to seize control.
Before signing up for an online service, users have to provide a way to verify their identity, Lucas Lundgren, a security researcher for IOActive Labs wrote on the group's research blog on Friday. It doesn't matter if you are registering on a forum in order to see the answer to one particular answer and you will probably never come to this forum site again. You need a way for the service provider to contact you when you become a member, whether it's Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, online banking, or shopping. Odds are, you used your email address to verify your identity.
"There's a saying that all roads lead to Rome? Well, the big knot in this threat is—you guessed it—your email address," Lundgren wrote.
Lundgren's research project was simple. He tried breaking into various online accounts, either by searching on Google or using social engineering techniques, on six of his family and friends. There would be no need to brute-force passwords, because he targeted the true "weakest link," the password reset mechanism. He succeeded with five of them. The only one he couldn't compromise had forgotten what she'd selected as the security question.
"That saved her," he said.
Technique: Resetting Passwords
In one instance, Lundgren was trying to get into a friend's Gmail account and found out the password reset link was being sent to a Hotmail account. He didn't know the address so he looked it up on Facebook. It was just a matter of setting up a fake profile using a photo of someone else the friend already has as a Friend on Facebook. Once the fake profile was up, "almost identical to the girl," he sent a "Friend Request." Once the request was accepted, Lundgren was able to see the email address listed on the profile.
The secret question for Hotmail asked for the mother's maiden name, which had been posted at one point in Facebook. Once in Hotmail, he found the password reset email from Gmail. That simply, he'd gained access to his friend's two email accounts. Using the same methods gave him access to Facebook, and all the sites set up to login using Facebook, such as Flickr. That Gmail account also appeared to be tied to an iTunes account and an online electronics store.
Even if the user had selected a long and complex password that used numbers, mixed case, symbols, and no dictionary words, odds are, when prompted with the password recovery question, they provided a simple answer.
Protect Yourself
The way Lundgren was able to trace multiple accounts and services from one account should sound familiar. Wired writer Mat Honan recently lost control over his iPhone, iCloud, and MacBook Air when someone social engineered Apple and Amazon customer service to reset the passwords on his account.
Lundgren recommended creating an email account which has no login. He uses a particular email on his domain to register on forums and other sites. However, that address is set up on the domain as just a forwarding address to a real address and not as a full-fledged mailbox. Because there's no way to login, the attacker can't reset the password to that account to gain access to other services. Any password reset requests for various services are sent to the actual address by means of the email forwarder, but there's no way for the attacker to know what the final destination is called. An attacker would also be unable to reset the password for that email forwarding address, Lundgren said.
"It's getting easier and easier to use just one source for authentication and that means if any link is weak, you jeopardize all your other accounts as well," Lundgren wrote, adding that if there are any work-related accounts or information in the mix, the employer is at risk.

Republican candidate for governor Chris Christie called in to the 'Jersey Guys' show on New Jersey 101.5 about 40 minutes ago, seeking to respond to questions following an Associated Press story about how a campaign volunteer, John Inglesino, is being paid $3,000 as a part-time political aide to state Sen. Joseph Pennacchio — hired for a job that kept him in the state pension system as his term ended as a Morris County freeholder.
Such jobs are often criticized as abuse of the pension system, which is more than $50 billion in the red, and Christie says he'd ban such workers from the pension system if elected. Show host Casey Bartholomew said, in no uncertain terms, that he was disappointed Christie wouldn't set as example by barring Inglesino from his campaign. (Full disclosure: My Gannett colleague Bob Ingle is a Jersey Guys guest host that hour, though he didn't participate in the Christie interview.)
"You need to hold yourself to your own word," Bartholomew said.
"I am holding myself to my own word. Am I on somebody's part-time staff in the pension system?" Christie said.
Bartholomew told Christie he should tell Inglesino he's no longer welcome in the campaign.
"Because I'm not kicking volunteers off of my campaign –" Christie said, before being cut off.
"Then we can't trust you. Then you're not trustworthy. We can't trust you," Bartholomew said.
"You can conclude that I'm not trustworthy, but what John Ingelsino will learn, and what all the Democrats who are on campaign legislative staffs will learn is that when I become governor — and let me tell you this, if Dick Codey and Joe Roberts want to post a bill next week to end part-time legislative staffers (from the pension system), they'll have my 100 percent support," Christie said.
Christie said he can't put a stop to the practice now. "Only Joe Pennacchio can put a stop to it," he said.
Bartholomew said Christie can prevent anyone taking part in the practice from representing him. "You can get rid of the guy who's in your campaign. You can tell the guy, who's been a friend of yours for God knows how long, that he is no longer welcome to volunteer in your campaign."
"You know, guys, you want to hold somebody to a standard of not allowing people to come and work for a campaign –" Christie said, before again being interrupted.
"We want to hold you to the standards that you said you were going to hold other people to. How can we trust you to hold other people to these standards if you won't uphold them? … Instead of being part of the solution, you're starting to sound like more of the problem," Bartholomew said.
"I'm the only candidate in this campaign who has said, the only candidate, that we will end pensions for part-time workers," Christie said.
"And apparently you're one of all the other candidates in the campaign who is engaging in that activity," the host said.
A few seconds later, Christie said, "You want me to fire a volunteer?"
"I want you to tell him he cannot be part of your campaign any more. I want you to stand by what you're running on. That's what I want you to do."
"I am standing by what I'm running on. … I don't know how you fire a volunteer," Christie said.
"You tell him he can't volunteer on your campaign any more. Done and done," Bartholomew said. "You kick him out. Take away his pass, take away his button, his hat, whatever you give people who volunteer in your campaign, and you kick him out."
Christie laughed. "You really want me to take away the button and the hat?"
"How about I just take away the button?" Christie said.
"How about you kick him out of your campaign," Bartholomew insisted. "How about you stop making jokes about what you're running on and stand by your word."
"I'm not making jokes. I think you're having a lot of fun," Christie said.
"You're losing votes, right now. Every word out of your mouth. Nobody can trust you," Bartholomew said.
"That's the rules as they are right now," Christie said a short time later. "I am going to change the rules, but I can't change the rules as a candidate. … I've told them I think it's wrong. They have to make the decision about what to do."
"I think you guys are making a big deal about a volunteer in a campaign when we could go through lists of people and see if there'e any volunteers in any other campaign who are part-time," Christie said.

Enzon Announces Two Oral Presentations at the Symposium of Drug Delivery Systems in Nanjing, China
PISCATAWAY, NJ — (Marketwire) — 11/08/12 — Enzon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENZN) today announced two oral presentations at the 2nd Annual Symposium of Drug Delivery Systems-2012, which is being held November 8-10 in Nanjing, China. The presentations will highlight Enzon's Customized Linker Technology®, the conjugation of a molecule using customizable linkers to polyethylene glycol (PEG) resulting in either permanent or releasable PEGylation. PEGylation is a proven drug delivery technology pioneered by Enzon and known to improve the pharmaceutical properties of therapeutic molecules.
The first oral presentation, titled "PEG-based Prodrugs Improve the Anticancer Activity of Small Molecule Cytotoxics," will be given by Hong Zhao, PhD, Senior Director of Chemistry at Enzon, and Session Chair for "Current Innovative Drug Delivery Systems for Treating Major Diseases." Dr. Zhao's presentation is scheduled to take place on Thursday, November 8, 2012 at 14:55 CST (13:55 EST).
Dr. Zhao's presentation will cover the use of Enzon's innovative, releasable Customized Linker Technology® as a means of improving the therapeutic activity of approved small molecule cytotoxic agents. The presentation will include data demonstrating the ability of Enzon's releasable PEG linkers to increase solubility, provide extended exposure of the released cytotoxic, reduce unwanted toxicities, improve tumor accumulation of the cytotoxic agent and, most remarkably, dramatically enhance antitumor activity in animal models compared to non-PEGylated agents. Dr. Zhao will also highlight the use of PEGylation with anti-cancer agents in the clinic, including the Enzon-developed molecule PEG-SN38, which is currently undergoing clinical evaluation in patients with advanced colorectal, breast, or pediatric cancers. Development and commercialization rights to PEG-SN38 in China were licensed in May 2012 to Zhejiang Hisun Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd.
The second oral presentation, titled "The Proven Therapeutic Utility of Permanent and Releasable PEGylation Linkers," will be given by Charles D. Conover, PhD, Senior Vice President, R&D Program Management at Enzon, and Session Chair for "Breaking Research and Technologies of Drug Delivery Systems." Dr. Conover's presentation is scheduled to take place on Saturday, November 10, 2012 at 08:30 CST (07:30 EST).
Dr. Conover will present an overview of Enzon's innovative, permanent and releasable Customized Linker Technology® in commercial, clinical and research applications across disease areas and therapeutic classes. Enzon has developed the industry leading PEGylation technologies utilizing both permanent and releasable Customized Linker Technology®. To date, the Company's technology and know-how have been used to develop eight marketed products with combined annual sales of over $3 billion. Specifically, Dr. Conover will discuss how certain molecules, which may include peptides, antibody fragments, small molecules, chemokines, certain hormones, and small engineered binding domains, many of which lose their biological activity after PEG conjugation, may benefit from PEGylation through the use of novel releasable PEG linkers. Such linkers allow programmed release of intact, fully functional, native drug molecules inside the body.
Companies interested in partnership opportunities to gain access to Enzon's PEGylation technology can contact Enzon at email@example.com
About Enzon's Customized Linker Technology®
PEGylation has successfully been used on various pharmaceutical compounds, including enzymes, peptides and antibodies, to improve their pharmaceutical properties through the chemical attachment of polyethylene glycol (PEG) using our Customized Linker Technology. PEGylation technology employs proprietary chemical linkers designed to either release the native molecule at a controlled rate or provide permanent linkage that will maximize inherent activity of the parent molecule. In some cases, PEGylation can render a compound therapeutically effective, whereas the unmodified form had only limited clinical utility.
About Enzon
Enzon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a biotechnology company dedicated to the research and development of innovative therapeutics for patients with high unmet medical need. Enzon's drug-development programs utilize two platforms: Customized PEGylation Linker Technology (Customized Linker Technology®) and third-generation mRNA-targeting agents utilizing the Locked Nucleic Acid (LNA) technology. Enzon currently has four compounds in human clinical development and multiple novel mRNA antagonists in preclinical research. Enzon receives royalty revenues from licensing arrangements with other companies related to sales of products developed using its proprietary Customized Linker Technology. Further information about Enzon and this press release can be found on the Company's website at www.enzon.com.

'Really!?!' Kermit the Frog on 'SNL's' Weekend Update? [VIDEO]
The Muppets seem to be everywhere promoting their new movie, opening on Wednesday. Last night's 'SNL' was filled with them, starting with the opening monologue with Jason Segel and leading up to Kermit and Seth Meyers' 'Really!?!' segment on Weekend Update.
What were the two up in arms about? Congress declared that pizza can now be classified as a vegetable in school cafeterias. 'Really!?!'
Neither Seth nor Kermit were thrilled with that idea, pointing out that if they're going to do that they might as well call Twizzlers and a grape soda a "fruit salad."
