Alumni Profile: Sylvia Allen, B.S. '00
Category: Alumni
When asked which filmmakers have inspired her, Los Angeles-based filmmaker Sylvia Allen, B.S. '00, has difficulty naming any. "There are so few African-American female filmmakers," she says. "There's really no one to look up to.
"Do I have to be my own inspiration?" she asks with a laugh.
Ironically, it was her own experience that prompted her to write and produce I Want a Man, an Indie Fest award-winning short film recently selected for the 2012 International Black Film Festival of Lille Metropole (France).
Following her graduation from UB's Corporate Communication program—where she discovered her passion for video production—Allen turned a film trailer she produced as an undergraduate into a feature-film screenplay she describes as being about "love, revenge, betrayal and murder." While she says the original script is more of a "suspense thriller," her subsequent short-film adaptation focused more on domestic violence, a topic that was all too familiar to Allen in her teenage years. "In hindsight, it is still an unknown why I stayed [in an abusive relationship]," she says. "But I was in love."
"I'm from Baltimore. I'm tenacious."
Later, in 2002, it was her love of motion pictures that spurred her to move to Los Angeles to pursue a career in film. While earning her certification in producing from the New York Film Academy and working 40 hours a week as a clerk typist at Los Angeles International Airport, Allen decided to take her short-film script from page to screen.
As the executive producer of an independent film project, she was responsible for everything from financing, location scouting and hiring cast and crew to post-production editing, music selection, sound design and marketing.
Allen hopes that her short film initiates more dialogue on domestic violence and conveys the idea that "both sides of the relationship are responsible and need to be understood."
"Nobody talked about [the abuse]," she says of her own experience. But, she adds, "I do not consider myself a victim. I moved on. I'm still here."
Allen, who also owns and runs Sylvideo Productions, LLC—the Future, has submitted I Want a Man to various major film festivals for consideration and is now working on securing funding to create a full-length feature film. When asked about her prospects, Allen is optimistic. "I'm from Baltimore," she says. "I'm tenacious."

Blumenthal, Murphy and others to discuss federal gun trafficking legislation today
U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal and U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy will be in Bridgeport this morning to discuss federal gun trafficking legislation.
A press conference is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. at the Margaret E. Morton Government Center in Bridgeport, according to a statement. Bridgeport Mayor Bill Finch, Bridgeport Police Chief Joseph Gaudett Jr. and Hartford Police Chief James Rovella will also be in attendance.
There are no federal laws in place to prevent an individual from purchasing a gun for someone prohibited by law from owning the gun, a practice that is referred to as a "straw purchase." A significant number of guns used in violent crimes across the country are from straw purchases, according to the statement.

Mustang MonthlyHow To Chassis Suspension
How To Install '05-'09 Adjustable Sway Bars
Summit Racing Offers Affordable S197 Handling Upgrades With Their Front And Rear Sway Bar Kits
When Ford introduced the S197 Mustang for 2005, it didn't seem possible to improve on it because it was so darned good right off the assembly line. It was the hottest looking and best performing Mustang since the 1960s.
But even Ford knew there was room for improvement, which is why the company worked so closely with the aftermarket industry during the car's development. Summit Racing Equipment has also looked closely at the S197 Mustang and has been doing a lot of listening since 2005 to bring us a wealth of performance goodies, including these super affordable heavy-duty adjustable sway bars for '05-'09 Mustangs. You can bolt these bars onto your S197 Mustang for under $400. They're easy to install to reduce body roll.
Glenn and Julie Eldridge of Southern California are having a ball with their '07 GT/CS coupe. They've added a lot of subtle upgrades to improve drive quality without disturbing the car's original demeanor. Marlo's Frame & Alignment has already lowered ride height and improved handling with aftermarket springs, so now we're installing Summit's SUM-720223 (front) and SUM-720224 (rear) sway bars to reduce body roll in hard cornering, thereby improving stability and safety.

The great cycle continues – now the Police are moving to centralise their efforts, by closing suburban stations to the public – (did they use the same consultants that Housing New Zealand employed I wonder?)
As in the past I'm sure in about ten years they'll get this inspiration to engage with the public again and reopen them for access – or will they just get watch towers and checkpoints?
The biggest winners from this will be shareholders in gated community developers. I can easily see this opening a rift between Laura Norder and the Treasury Old Boys Club.

To go further, HORansome is taking a pretty classical legal positivist line, that the law is what the law is. Which, ok, we can accept that as far as it goes. If I go to my lawyer and ask if such and such a course of action is criminal, I want them to answer based on what they think the law is, not what it should be.
But (a) it is perfectly possible to deny legal positivism, and in fact someone like Ronald Dworkin would do so very strenuously and (b) we aren't lawyers here. We aren't engaged in disputation over what the law is, but rather what it should be. So a resort to legal positivism is an empty move, one that fundamentally doesn't tell us anything. HORansome would be pushed to declare that the murder was legal if the courts allowed it, which tells us that whatever it is he is discussing, it isn't anything we care about as far as wrongful convictions go!
Islander, in reply to

Now, *that* is a very interesting & informed take on matters...

Yes, your right that I would. It is a stipulative definition, after all. Nothing about that definition says anything about the rightness or wrongness of the act in question, though.
In re Dworkin; I know Dworkin's work and I also know that his view on legal positivism is, at the very least, controversial. Certainly, I don't buy his arguments about how the legal system works; he seems to take it that the courts are interesting in fact-finding, but, as others have argued, if you look at the way the courts operate they aren't so much interesting in getting the facts of the matter as they are for discerning how the law should be interpreted.
HORansome, in reply to
As I noted earlier in the thread, Keith, I'm not committed to the Crown's case in re what happened to Olivia Hope and Ben Smart but I've not yet been convinced by the case that says Scott Watson is innocent of the crime he was convicted of. I have read your book, so you can consider the overall argument of your book (summed up nicely by its title "Trial by Trickery") to be one of the many arguments (or sets of arguments) that have not persuaded me to change my mind. Whilst it is admirable that you want to persuade me of the merits of your case, really, I'm not all that interested. As far as I'm concerned all this started because we (as in the people in this thread) were having a discussion about miscarriages of justice and I expressed some skepticism about the skepticism over the Scott Watson verdict. That really is, for me, as far as I want to take the conversation.
Also, I'm not in anyway suggesting I have private evidence about the case when I say I know things about it. I was simply saying that I have not come to my view from a position of ignorance. Given my own research interests into conspiracy theories I have read up on the material, because I was given a letter which alleges that the author of "Silent Evidence"was in on the Crown's conspiracy to hide what really happened that night.
Now, I don't in anyway believe the substance of the letter but I did read end up reading quite widely on the matter, including your book, to see if I could work out why someone might think there is a coded message in "Silent Evidence."
HORansome, in reply to
Let me put it in slightly simpler English for you, then:
No body of evidence ever determines one (and only one) explanation. This is because there will be a range of different hypotheses, all of which are consistent with the evidence, that would be explanatory (cf. W. O. Quine, "Two Dogmas of Empiricism"). Only some of those hypotheses will be plausible explanations and, presumably, only one of those explanations will be the best explanation.
Keith Hunter, in "Trial by Trickery," amasses a body of evidence and suggests that one particular explanation is the best explanation available. However, I don't think his argument (or set of arguments) allows him to come to the conclusion that his argument is the best., Rather, what he shows is that his hypothesis is an explanation that should be considered to be in the pool of plausible explanations for the event.
Dworkin's views on legal positivism are controversial. So is legal positivism. Arguments that one or the other is the status quo, or simply correct, are likely to fail.
By this point, you have managed to reduce legality to tautology, and emptied it of any relation to broader society. In particular, this form of legal positivism gives us no reason we should respect the rule of law, something I would really quite like from a jurisprudence.
he seems to take it that the courts are interesting in fact-finding
Dear lord, what a mad assumption!
HORansome, in reply to
he seems to take it that the courts are interesting in fact-finding
Dear lord, what a mad assumption!
Except it is a pretty weird assumption when you look at the practice of the courts. Often trials hinge on points of law rather than matters of fact. Often these two activities result in the same outcome (which is nice, since we'd like laws to map onto some construal of right behaviour), but, still, Dworkin's construal of the workings of the court is subject to debate.
I, personally, haven't really reduced legality to tautology in the same respect that you haven't really, reduced legal guilt to moral culpability. These are live debates in the literature and my reading of it has it that Legal Positivists are pretty much the status quo at the moment (and legal positivism in its modern guise is a pretty finessed theory).
Legal positivism, in the narrow sense you seem to be defining it as, is only emptied of its relation to broader society if the broader society has no input on the laws of the land. That clearly isn't the case in our society; whilst our judiciary is free and independent it also doesn't make the laws; the democratically-elected parliament does that.
Indeed, one of the useful notions inherent in positivism of this type is that it explains why the socially constructed laws are meaningful; they reflect society's attitudes and it also explains also why some laws need to be revised/become to be thought of as unjust (which is a problem for many theories about the law), which is that society has changed. What you see to be a flaw in the system I see as being quite a nice sophistication which illustrates how society works.
Russell Brown, in reply to
Let me put it in slightly simpler English for you, then:
I understood your meaning perfectly well, thank you Matthew. But it seem to me you were using jargon to make your answer seem more substantial than it was.
I do also think Keith's comment was somewhat intemperate.
In fact the judiciary does make the law in this kind of legal positivism. (A minor but terminological important point.) Everything else is merely a source of law, and arguably statute law is a comparatively unimportant source of law, especially compared to precedent.
The courts are, trivially, engaged in a fact finding exercise. (O God, this is brining back horrible memories of 101 essays. Quick! Tell the examiner the ways in which the search for truth and justice may come into conflict!) Once they have determined the facts, they apply the law to them (ok they don't really, but it is an ok model for this argument.) The fact that decisions turn on points of law tells us nothing because in order to tell what law to apply, we must first know what facts there are.
This division can be seen in the division between first instance (i.e. trial) and appellate work. At first instance, findings of fact are made, and generally can not be appealed. But the findings of law can; and because in general we study the law through judicial decisions, in particular appellate decisions, we tend to overemphasize the importance of findings of law.
inherent in positivism of this type is that it explains why the socially constructed laws are meaningful
This just isn't a thing that legal positivism does --- unless you smuggle assumptions into it.
HORansome, in reply to
Or you are operating with a sophisticated version of LP.
HORansome, in reply to
Given all the provisos I've made in this thread about my view on the Scott Watson verdict, your assumption that I was using jargon to hide an insubstantial point is pretty unfair.
Given that your legal positivism asserts that judges don't make laws, I am really quite doubtful of any claims for its sophistication.
HORansome, in reply to
And so we reach impasse where all we're going to do now is pass snide comments
It is hardly a snide comment to note that you are not presenting a very coherent theory when, after all, you are not. You did say: ``whilst our judiciary is free and independent it also doesn't make the laws'' which is just not true if you are a legal positivist. (If you hold to some natural law theory, or to the old view that judges merely discover the law that already exists, you could say that. But you can't say that as a positivist!)
New Zealand is a common law system, and there is a great bulk of law in New Zealand that is not in fact derived from any Parliament. The greater part of the law of torts, for instance, is common law. This is law that is made by judges.
Islander, in reply to
nd so we reach impasse where all we're going to do now is pass snide comments
I am very interested in your comments visavis expert witnesses.
Are you actually telling me that specialist knowledge (whether in regard to identifying boats or whitebait) is irrelevant? Compromised by people being expert? Just not up to some statistical survey?
HORansome, in reply to
I'm not saying it is irrelevant; it is just that, when it comes to eye-witness testimony, expert witnesses turn out not be so significantly better than non-expert eye-witnessesas. The problem really is that we often think eye-witnesses are reliable sources of information, but psychologists can show you that they are not. Expert witnesses (and we're talking here about eye-witness testimony) are somewhat better, but still not brilliant.
HORansome, in reply to
We're going to have to disagree on a proper definition of legal positivism, I see. Then again, lots of people do.
HORansome, in reply to
The other factor I should note comes into play here is the time between the person witnessing the event and then their recall of the event. Experts tend to better at identifying things in the moment but typically suffer the same issues the rest of us do with respect to recall, leading questions, et al.
Islander, in reply to
You are confusing 'eye-witnesses' (definition please) with 'experts': an expert on whitebait (I wouldnt quite call myself that - but) would NEVER mistake a glass eel for any kind of 'bait.
And, a waterman/yachtie/ferry-taxi person would NEVER mistake a single-masted boat for a ketch.
Time/place/other matters dont actually factor in: you know what you know.
I'd really like to have some substantive back-up for your claims.
They amount to waffle in the wind at the moment insofar as I am concerned-
Erm. You know, I am really actually confused as to what coherent theory of law you could have which is (a) broadly positivist and (b) rejects the existence of judge-made law in common law systems. I mean, I guess it exists, as a kind of theoretical possibility, lurking at the far edges of the permutation table, but it would seem to me to be the equivalent of the weird cross-breedings of the animal world, a possibility, but one singularly unfitted to actual life.
Update on suburban police stations closing:
Suburban police stations in Christchurch will not be closing to the public, says Canterbury district commander Superintendent Gary Knowles.
HORansome, in reply to
I'm quite deliberately not conflating expertise with being an eye-witness; experts in a subject area can offer eye-witness accounts just like any other kind of person. Perhaps you would prefer the term "informed testimony" for the eye-witness accounts of experts. The question then is "Is informed testimony any better than eye-witness testimony?" The answer is "Yes, but..." where the "...but..." clause ends up saying something like "In certain conditions such informed testimony is better but often it suffers from the same systemic issues that typical eye-witness accounts do."
If you want references to this I'll just point you to the work of Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky. Their work in heuristics (and the attendant biases) was pretty groundbreaking in the 1970s.
Islander, in reply to

Thank you. I will look it up.
I am aware of the problems with *eye-witness* reports (the classic gorilla-on-the-basketball-court You-Tube thing) but -while I obviously havent read Kahneman /Tversky yet -I still know that I wouldnt mistake a glass-eel for a 'bait.

Archos is a relatively unknown company that manufactures some really decent, value for money, Android tablets. The company does not sell its tablet all over the world, which limits the reach and overall sales of the tablet. Anyways, the company has announced via its Facebook page that it has started rolling out the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update for its G9 range of tablets including the Archos 80 G9 and Archos 101 G9Classic and Turbo models.
The Ice Cream Sandwich update for the above tablets will bring with it quite a lot of new features including a new multi-tasking bar, an improved web browser, enhanced performance and stability, updated UI icons, new camera app, a new app drawer and launcher, improved voice to text output, and surprisingly the new People's app. Considering the Archos tablet does not have any telephony features, I wonder why the Peoples app has been included.
The update is being rolled out via OTA, so users just need to connect their Archos tablet to a Wi-Fi network and they will be automatically informed about the update. It is really commendable to see a small company like Archos beating Samsung and Motorola in updating its Android tablets to the latest version of Archos!

The Jets draft Quinton Coples to do what Vernon Gholston couldn't
It's a sentiment you hear every year: The Jets need a dominant pass rusher off the edge.
The hand-wringing about the Jets' pass rush is a bit overstated but generally valid: They ranked 13th in sack percentage in 2011, 8th in 2010, and 15th in 2009. They have done so despite a scheme that has traditionally been blitz-heavy, although, as ESPN repeatedly flashed during its draft coverage last night, the Jets ranked just 12th in blitz percentage last year, down from 3rd and 1st the previous two years.
For a team whose defense has designs on dominance but has settled for mere excellence the past two years, the beastly edge rusher is the missing piece: a guy like Jared Allen, or Julius Peppers, or, closer to home, Jason Pierre-Paul or Osi Umenyiora.
The problem with this is that the Jets 3-4 defensive scheme doesn't do much to accommodate these perfectly angular players who seemed engineered by God to blow past left tackles and destroy the quarterback. Those players excel as defensive ends in a 4-3 scheme, a position that doesn't exist in the Jets scheme. Rather, the Jets must find their edge rushers from the ranks of outside linebackers—players who are also charged with covering running backs downfield. It's very difficult to find an excellent edge rusher. It's even more difficult to find one who can also play pass coverage.
Given this, the Jets' best hope of upgrading their pass rush likely isn't going come from the bold stroke of drafting the next Jason Pierre-Paul, but rather more incrementally. The Jets hope that last night's selection of defensive end Quinton Coples, out of the University of North Carolina, with the 16th pick, represents a pretty big step.
Coples, who Ryan indicated would play left defensive end in the Jets' 3-4 scheme, is a curious case. During his junior year, he excelled rushing the passer as a left defensive tackle, posting ten sacks. Then for his senior year he moved to right defensive end, the classic pass-rusher position, and struggled, with only 7.5 sacks.
His disappointing senior year had pundits questioning his play-to-play effort. ESPN analyst Jon Gruden was among these pundits, saying last night, "The effort is way too inconsistent for me."
But Ryan, in his post-draft comments, indicated that Coples' declining production was more the product of his position switch than anything else.
Switching from the left defensive tackle to the right defensive end, said Ryan, "Takes some time and adjustments. Everything you're used to working off of, a right-handed stance, now you're down to a left-handed stance. Some guys, they can make that transition easy, and sometimes you can't."
So Coples might not be the edge rusher fans have long clamored for. But Jets brass is hoping that he'll be a good interior rusher who can get the Jets pass rush where it needs to be.
"The old saying is that the defensive tackle's job is to push the quarterback back and the outside guy's job is to push the quarterback forward," Ryan said. "I think that with this addition, we can push that quarterback back a little bit."
This year, it's likely that Coples will compete for playing time immediately at left defensive end, opposite right end Muhammad Wilkerson. Wilkerson was Coples' teammate as a postgraduate at Hargrave Military Academy, and put in a good word for him.
Whether or not Coples becomes a nominal "starter" off the bat is an open question. Mike DeVito, the incumbent left defensive end, is one of the best run defenders for his position in the league, but is removed in passing situations. Last year, Marcus Dixon and Ropati Pitoitua were the ones replacing DeVito in passing situations, but if Coples impresses in training camp, look for him to leapfrog those two in short order. (A key aspect of this draft choice is that DeVito, Dixon, and Pitoitua are all free agents after this year.)
The most optimistic pundits have compared Coples to Julius Peppers, the Chicago Bears' star defensive end and another University of North Carolina alum. The most pessimistic have compared him to Vernon Gholston, the Jets' sixth overall pick in the 2008 draft who never made the transition from 4-3 end to 3-4 outside linebacker, and became one of the worst Jets draft picks of all time. (Which is saying something.)
But Ryan set an optimistic, if not unreasonable, benchmark when he compared Coples to Shaun Ellis and Trevor Pryce, two 3-4 defensive ends who didn't put up eye-popping numbers but were productive contributors for a long time.
DARRELLE REVIS IS CONSIDERING HOLDING OUT, FOR WHAT would be the second time in four years. During the "Hard Knocks"-documented training camp of 2010, Revis signed a four-year, $46 million extension to his rookie deal, two of which have expired.
Normally, holding out halfway through a renegotiated four-year deal would seem like a violation of the unwritten, hazy moral code that governs such things. But consider this, from Jenny Vrentas of the Star-Ledger:
At the time, the deal was thought to be a band-aid deal to end the lengthy holdout. GM Mike Tannenbaum called it an "intermediate" step toward keeping Revis with the Jets for the rest of his career.
Revis' deal is frontloaded, giving him the Nnamdi Asomugha average he sought over the first two years, $16.25 million per year. His compensation then dropped to $7.5 million in 2012 and $6 million in 2013, which has fostered speculation that now would be the time he would want that long-term extension the sides didn't strike in 2010.
For his part, Tannenbaum said what general managers always say when they're put in this position: "Darrelle is under contract."
This is one of those statements that sounds forceful and peremptory but, in the context of non-guaranteed contracts and the murky behavioral rules associated with them, actually means very little.
MARK SANCHEZ AND HIS RANDOM HIPSTER FRIEND—wait, no, that's Santonio Holmes—were booed vociferously during Wednesday night's Knicks game at Madison Square Garden.
Many factors contributed to this booing:
The obvious one was the Jets' disappointing season, which was in no small part due to the disappointing play of Sanchez and Holmes, and, related or not, the public blowup of their relationship. New York fans are in a booing mood these days, anyway.
There's also the likelihood that most people at MSG on any given night belong to the Giants/Yankees persuasion of New York fan.
But really, I think this booing represents a fatigue with inane Jets media narratives, like the one about how buddy-buddy Sanchez and Holmes are, and the one about Sanchez's backup. It's not that people are tired of the Jets. They're just tired of manufactured Jets stories that have nothing to do with football.
APPARENTLY THE RAIDERS ARE INTERESTED IN HIRING THE JETS' vice president of college scouting Joey Clinkscales, who has overseen the Jets drafts since 2008.
I'm sure Clinkscales is a fine football man and all, and he played in college with Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie, but judging by his record alone, why anyone would want to hire this guy is a mystery.
The four drafts Clinkscales have overseen have been very poor. Consider the Jets' first- and second-round picks during this span: Vernon Gholston, Dustin Keller, Mark Sanchez, Vladimir Ducasse and Kyle Wilson.
Now compare those guys to the Giants' first and second round picks: Kenny Phillips, Terrell Thomas, Hakeem Nicks, Will Beatty, Clint Sintim, Jason Pierre-Paul, and Linval Joseph.
Of the Jets' five players, only Keller is an above-average player for his position. Sure, Sanchez and Wilson can still develop into good players, but it's not too early to characterize the Jets' haul as pretty underwhelming.
The Jets have mined some value in the later rounds, but really not too much. Late-round picks Matt Slauson and John Conner are adequate starters. Shonn Greene, a third rounder, has been a solid enough contributor. Joe McKnight, a fourth rounder, has done good things on special teams.
But the core of the recent-vintage Jets has been assembled mostly from free-agent acquisitions, trades and players the Jets drafted before Clinkscales took over. Most notable among these is the "core four" group drafted in 2006 and 2007: D'Brickashaw Ferguson and Nick Mangold in 2006, and Darrelle Revis and David Harris in 2007.
Anyone looking for reasons for why the Jets haven't ascended to the ranks of the Truly Elite need not look further than the players they've drafted since then.

V339 Del has been in outburst for slightly more than 100 days. The last month or so has been pretty bland. What lies ahead?
First, the light curve isn't totally bland. If you look at the attached curve, which covers the last 50 days, you can see the leveling out that happened around October 20 in B and V. As mentioned in Munari et al. (ATEL 5533), this is the time when the ejecta became optically thin and we started entering the "nebular" stage of novae, where emission lines dominate. At the same time, Osborne et al. (ATEL 5505) announced that the nova had become a supersoft Xray emitter, as we started seeing the contributions from the underlying white dwarf.
If you look at the Ic curve (orange), you can see that the continuum radiation from the nova is continuing to decrease (Ic has few emission lines in its bandpass). If you assume that the continuum in the V bandpass is also declining, the real nova is probably about 13th magnitude at this time. As the ejecta continue to thin, we'll probably see a slow decline in brightness until the underlying continuum becomes an important contributor to the flux. However, it is not uncommon for dust to form in the 100-day range for novae, and so we might also see a sudden drop in brightness.
The best approach is to continue monitoring the nova. If you want to do time series, I'd recommend Ic, where you are seeing the white dwarf; the emission lines are unlikely to show much temporal variation. Daily monitoring is also a very good choice, but try to observe in more than one filter and try to submit average/standard deviation of ~5 individual measures per night, rather than the raw individual measures.
Good luck! We can't follow this one much longer, but those who are willing to push your system and observe it to the last conjunction moment will contribute some really valuable data.

Complete Story
Panasonic Takes Tru2way HDTVs To Retail
By: Todd Spangler, Multichannel News
Panasonic said it has shipped the first tru2way-based HDTVs to a retailer in suburban Chicago, while Comcast's Chicago and Denver systems have gone live with tru2way.
The developments mark a key go-to-market milestone for the cable industry's interactive services standard for consumer electronics devices that has been more than a decade in development.
Panasonic's first tru2way-enabled Viera plasma HDTVs will be offered in 42- and 50-inch sizes. The sets include a tru2way cable receiver -- eliminating the need for a separate set-top box -- that should theoretically work in any cable system that supports the technology.
Panasonic said its tru2way-certified Viera HDTVs are now available at Abt Electronics in Glenview, Ill., and will be available in the Chicago area at Circuit City locations. In Denver, the sets will be available at Ultimate Electronics and Circuit City stores.
"We see tru2way technology as the gateway for our customers to experience the next generation of interactive television, and our work with Panasonic to develop and support the first fully digital-cable-ready HDTVs is an important first step in making that happen," said Mark Hess, Comcast's senior vice president of video product development, in a statement.
tru2way also represents the cable industry's desire to provide its own technology for consumer electronics makers—including Panasonic, Sony and Samsung Electronics—to access two-way cable services, instead of the Federal Communications Commission imposing an alternate standard.
Earlier this summer, Panasonic's tru2way HDTVs reportedly failed CableLabs certification testing for the spec, leading to speculation that the products would not meet the target of shipping for the 2008 holiday season.
Getting the tru2way products into the retail channel has been a priority for Comcast and Panasonic. The two companies have heavily promoted their collaboration on tru2way technology, touting their plans at the Consumer Electronics Show in January and at the NCTA's Cable Show '08 in May.
The TH-42PZ80Q 42-inch model will have a suggested retail price of $1,599.95, and the TH-50PZ80Q 50-inch unit will list at $2,299.95.
Both TVs feature 480-Hz sub-field drive for sharp motion image focus, 1,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and a built-in SD memory card reader for playing back digital photos.

Seattle's 'Hero' struts into rock stardom
YouTube sensation takes his plastic guitar to a new kind of World Series
Finally, someone has managed to bridge the seemingly impassable fracture between stage-strutting rock stars and couch-dwelling video gamers.
Freddie Wong could be the hero adolescent boys have been waiting for.
The 21-year-old Seattle native catapulted his way to at least temporary rock stardom in Dallas this month, where he came out on top of professional gamers playing "Guitar Hero II" in the World Series of Video Games.
"The game is sort of instant gratification," said Wong, a University of Southern California senior who attended Lakeside School. "Right away you have that rock star lifestyle."
Wong will face off against challengers in August in Toronto at the next World Series of Video Gaming, a fairly new series of competitions broadcast on CBS featuring the games "World of Warcraft," "Quake 4," "Fight Night Round 3" and "Guitar Hero II" -- a game played using a guitar-shaped controller with the objective of accurately playing notes to songs that are displayed onscreen.
The World Series of Video Games stages several competitions a year in cities such as Los Angeles and Toronto and at the DreamHack festival in Jönköping, Sweden. Anyone can compete in the competition, though about 40 percent of participants fly in to compete, and the top four players in each game advance to the next round.
Several friends chipped in to fly Wong to Dallas for the July 5-8 competition, but this time he'll be able to pay his own way with a $1,000 traveling stipend and $2,625 in winnings.
In the University District house where Wong is staying this summer, he and two of his roommates lolled around one day last week in a room punctuated by a TV, a fireplace no one uses and a suspiciously conspicuous large shopping cart that somehow rolled inside.
On that humid afternoon, Wong demonstrated the game with a child-size plastic guitar he took from a basket next to the TV. He pushed a button on a PlayStation 2 and stood facing the scrolling fret board on the screen, his body pulsing to the rhythm of Bang Camaro's "Push Push (Lady Lightning)."
Roommate Daniel Otero looked up from fiddling around on a real guitar. Wong is known to combine windmill spins, Angus Young-inspired struts, behind-the-head finger-play and skyward leaps during the course of the same song.
"Hey, man, move that rug before he slips," Otero said in a weary voice to Chase Eddy, another roommate.
With an expression that implied, "Yeah, I've seen this routine before," Eddy pushed a striped rug out from under Wong's airborne skate shoes.
For Wong, playing "Guitar Hero" has always just been something to do with his roommates, so the concept of playing video games professionally still boggles his mind. Though competitive gaming may seem surreal, some say it's on its way to joining skateboarding and surfing as a viable and lucrative alterna-sport, with gamers raking in thousands of dollars in prizes, not to mention traveling stipends and proceeds from merchandise endorsements and sales.
So far, it's too soon to tell if Wong will end up like Johnathan "Fatal1ty" Wendel, a competitive gamer from Kansas City, Mo., who took the scene by storm several years ago playing "Quake III" in the Cyberathlete Professional League, or Michigan native Dave "Walshy" Walsh, who rose to stardom playing "Halo 2."
In 2006, Walsh signed a $250,000 contract with the console gaming league Major League Gaming. Wendel, who once won $150,000 in a tournament, is known for his line of professional gaming merchandise.
But at this point, Wong isn't very keen or confident about joining their ranks.
"I just don't think I could compete with some of these guys," he said. "And it's just a game, you know?"
Wong's win in Dallas earlier this month wasn't the first time he showed up on the gaming radar. He caused a mild sensation in the past year with a video posted on YouTube -- the first time he showed off his rock-star flair with "Guitar Hero II."
The video starts with Wong climbing off a motorcycle in his living room. He's wearing a shimmering red shirt and has chains draped around his neck and across his chest.
"A lot of people have asked me about the chains," Wong says in a voice that's a little more guttural than his own. "The reason I have them on is my soul is just so blisteringly fast that if I didn't keep them tied down somehow, it might impregnate women."
As of Monday, the video had been viewed more than 2,284,000 times and had more than 13,607 comments.
Wong discovered in Dallas earlier this month that the video had a cultlike following online. People approached him and asked if he was "that guy who broke the guitar at the end of the video."
"Freddie Wong is incredible -- oh, my God," said Matthew Ringel, president and commissioner of the World Series of Video Games. "When people learned that Freddie was coming to the event, gamers from across the Internet were just going crazy."
But it's likely that Wong's theatrics did more than make him an Internet icon -- one Dallas judge tried to give his performance an 11 on a scale of one to 10. TV networks are struggling to make competitive gaming more viewer-friendly, and one strategy is to feature games that will translate to a "spectator experience," Ringel said.
But while Wong admits he can provide viewers with a good show, he still takes a more modest approach to the technical side of things.
"To be fair, it's really kind of a fluke," he said. "I'm not even very good at most video games."

Washington, D.C. is one of our nation's most beautiful and culturally rich cities. But its plethora of monuments, museums, and other attractions can make planning a visit overwhelming. Fortunately, the federal government has created several mobile apps to help educate, inform, and help the public explore the US capitol.
Want to impress your friends or family with your knowledge of the District's many statues? Start with the just-released Guide to the National Statuary Hall Collection of State Statues for devices running Apple's iOS. The mobile guide illustrates and provides locations for 100 statues donated by the 50 states to commemorate Americans throughout history. Thirty-five statues can be found in National Statuary Hall; the others are found in other parts of Washington, D.C., including the Crypt, the Hall of Columns, and the Rotunda.
Using the Guide, visitors can locate their state statue by name or state, look it up on a map of the US, and zoom in to enlarge images or text describing each statue. The app was developed by Architect of the Capitol, a federal agency responsible for the maintenance, operation, and preservation of buildings on Capitol Hill.
The new app is one of many available on the government's official Web portal, USA.gov, which houses more than 130 apps for Apple, Android, and BlackBerry devices. The categories include education, utilities, health and fitness, medical, news, travel, lifestyle, finance, business, entertainment, weather, and navigation, among others.
In addition to the apps listed on USA.gov, the National Association of State Chief Information Officers (NASCIO) keeps a current catalog of more than 250 native, state government apps for smartphones and tablets. The catalog does not include apps developed by third parties that use available state data.
The move by federal agencies to develop mobile apps is part of a larger Digital Government Strategy, which aims to make information and services available to the public anytime, anywhere, on any device.
Agencies increasingly have the tools to implement customer-facing mobile products. DigitalGov is one platform that provides agencies with resources like a crowdsourcing toolkit, a mobile code sharing catalog, and various guidelines for deploying mobile services.
InformationWeek Government has been reporting on mobile government and frequently profiling the latest apps from federal agencies. Dig into our guide to apps for Washington, D.C. visitors. Did we miss one of your favorites? Tell us in the comments section.

What does Absolut Cherrykran taste like? Absolut Cherrykran is smooth and mellow with a long fruity and berry finish with notes of sun-ripe cherries, fresh white cranberry and sweet plum. Just as with all other of our products, Absolut Cherrykran is made exclusively from natural ingredients and unlike most other flavored vodkas, it doesn't contain any added sugar or added preservatives. The Absolut way of making vodka In 1879, Lars Olsson Smith introduced the continuous distillation with which he made Absolut Rent Brannvin (Absolute Pure Vodka). Instead of the usual three or four times, the vodka was distilled an infinite number of times. Absolut Cherrykran is made the same way; the only difference is the taste sun-ripe cherries, fresh white cranberry and sweet plum. And, like the rest of the family, it's produced in Åhus, L.O. Smith's birth town. Since the process will never change, neither will the true taste of Absolut Cherrykran. Keeping natural ingredients natural The main ingredients in Absolut Cherrykran are Absolut Vodka and sun-ripe cherries, fresh white cranberry and sweet plum. Absolut Vodka is made from water and winter wheat. The water comes from a deep well in Åhus where it's protected from impurities. The winter wheat is also grown in Åhus and differs from other crops: it's sown one fall, and harvested the next one. Days in between it grows under the Swedish snow developing its hard grain. Also, the use of fertilizers is minimized. Of course, the sun-ripe cherries, fresh white cranberry and sweet plum are as natural as the rest of the ingredients.

This blog post is the second entry in a series of educational articles that outline a method to manage individual retirement plan participant accounts. You can find the first in the series here
You should consider two core investment management tools. These tools answer the two most important investment management questions continually faced by individual company retirement-plan participants.
Up or Down?
The first tool is the answer to the most basic stock market investing question. That question is of course, "Is the stock market going up or is the stock market going down?" The answer to this investment management question is at the top of the list of each individual retirement plan participant I meet with.
Too many professional investment advisors have relied on the stock market to always go up over the "long term." The lack of investment returns over the last 10 years has not deterred investment advisors from their standard course of investment management tactics. "Buy-and-hold," "asset allocation," and "diversification" have not somehow magically improved long-term investment results.
The last 13 years have not provided a successful investment outcome for many individual company retirement-plan participants. For that reason, I have relied on technical analysis to guide my client's "offensive" and "defensive" stock market risk-management game plan.
There have been short periods of a low-risk stock market environment. During those periods technical analysis has provided my individual retirement plan advice clients with the confidence to attempt to "make money." My clients know that they can invest in the best performing mutual funds in their company retirement plan menu with reasonable confidence.
Conversely, technical analysis has alerted my clients to periods of high stock market risk. During those periods the stock market has tried to "take money away."
Stop losses have successfully acted to preserve a great deal of the principal account value in my client's individual retirement plan accounts over the last few years.
My new individual retirement-plan advice clients are able to sell the underperforming mutual funds they currently own using a stop loss strategy. Their retirement-plan account principal is then made available for reinvestment into better-performing retirement plan mutual fund options.
When the stock market environment has improved, my clients have owned better mutual funds and enjoyed better investment returns.
What Should I Buy?
-The second investment=management tool answers another age-old stock market investing question. That question is, "If the stock market is going up, then what should I buy?"
The best answer to this second investment-management question is found in the concept of relative-strength analysis.
I rank each mutual fund I the company retirement plan menu by a relative-strength score. This score incorporates both the short-term and long-term investment performance of each individual mutual fund, peer group of mutual funds, and mutual fund asset class.
This ranking makes clear to my individual company retirement plan participants "what should I buy" in an "offensive" stock market environment.
It also becomes clear to my retirement-plan advice clients which mutual funds to avoid during a stock market upswing.
The money-market balance raised by selling off the underperforming mutual funds in the early stages of a stock market decline comes in handy. When there are much better mutual funds available on the company retirement plan menu to invest in, a rebalancing of the company retirement-plan account makes sense. My retirement-plan advice clients understand that.
Individual company retirement-plan participants want a logical and straightforward stock market risk-management and tactical asset allocation game plan.
The two primary investment management tools I provide help my clients understand "when to buy" and "what to buy."

Freezer Longliner Vessel Replacement Issues Face Final Action
Final action is scheduled at the October meeting of the North Pacific Fishery Management Council in Anchorage on options to allow larger freezer longliners to harvest Pacific cod in the bering sea and Aleutian Islands.
Kenny Down, executive director of the Freezer Longline Coalition in Seattle, said in an interview Sept. 17 that he is hopeful that one of these options will pass the council with little objection. "It is long overdue… for safety reasons alone," said Down, noting that some of the 25 active vessels in the fleet started out as military vessels in World War Two.
Such rebuilding and construction of new vessels, which would be subject to the highest US Coast Guard safety standards, would likely begin in 2013 and most of the fleet would be replaced over the next 15 years, Down said.
While it would not likely be hard to get financing for new vessels, at an average cost of $20 million to $30 million, "we are racing against the clock, because right now interest rates are low, he said.
Vessels operated by members of the Freezer Longline Coalition are currently based in Kodiak and Petersburg, Alaska, as well as Seattle, and operate out of Dutch Harbor. Down said he wasn't sure where new vessel construction would like take place, but said options include Ketchikan, Alaska; Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, and the Gulf Coast.
There are three alternatives before the council range for this fleet, also known as hook-and-line catcher processors, outlined in the council's Sept. 7 analysis for a proposed amendment to the fishery management plan for the groundfish fishery in the bering sea and Aleutian Islands.
The council noted in the regulatory impact review/initial regulatory flexibility analysis that the goal is to change criteria to allow owners of bering sea and Aleutian Island vessels fishing for Pacific cod to replace or rebuild their vessels to a length greater than that specified under restrictions of the license limitation program and the American Fisheries Act.
Specifically, the council proposes to first adjust the maximum length overall specified on the license limitation program license assigned to these freezer longliners. Originally implemented in 2000, each license limitation program is endorsed for management areas, catcher vessel or catcher processor operations, and the Pacific cod fixed gear target fishery, and specifies a maximum amount overall for licensed vessels. Maximum length overall for the license was based on length of the vessel initially receiving the license.
The council also has proposed to allow freezer longline replacement vessels that exceed 165 feet in registered length or 750 gross registered tons, or with engines capable of producing more than 3,000 shaft horsepower, to enter the fishery.
Existing federal law currently limits such vessels from entering fisheries unless the vessel carried a fisheries endorsement prior to Sept. 25, 1997, or the council has recommended and the Secretary of Commerce has approved, a conservation and management measure to allow the vessel to be used in fisheries under its authority.
The council recognized in its problem statement on the freezer longliner issue that vessel length restrictions on limited liability program licenses limit the ability of owners to rebuild or replace their vessels with larger vessels. Providing this ability would allow for improved vessel safety, meet international class and loadline requirements that would allow a broader range of onboard processing options, and improve the economic efficiency of their vessels.
Alternative one is the status quo option. If approved, the BSAI Pacific cod hook and line catcher processor vessel length, horsepower and tonnage restrictions currently in place would continue to apply.
Details on these alternatives and other related issues are at http://www.fakr.noaa.gov/npfmc.
The Freezer Longline Coalition is a section 501(C)(3) non-profit corporation representing owners and operators of the vessels that participate in the freezer longline, or catcher processor hook-and-line sector of the Pacific cod fishery in federal waters of the bering sea, Aleutian Islands and the Gulf of Alaska.
The longline fishery is based in Alaska and Washington State, with freezer longline-caught Pacific cod marketed and sold in the Pacific Northwest. The coalition estimates that freezer longline-caught cod provides between $150 million and $200 million in annual export revenues to the nation. The fishery creates more than 1,200 full time jobs, has more than two dozen modern vessels with fish processing and freezing capabilities on board, and community businesses that repair vessels and sell supplies rely on this fishery to sustain jobs, the coalition notes on its website, http://freezerlongline.coalition.com.
The longline fishery is primarily a Pacific cod single-species directed fishery, and in fact over 90 percent of the longline fishery's income derives from directed fishing for Pacific cod. The vessels participating in this fishery use specialized lines and individually baited hooks, as opposed to nets or pots, to catch fish.

Who is he?
LoÏc has a certain charisma, which is no doubt because he emanates an aura of "quiet strength", and has a presence that is particularly reassuring. He is a sociable, caring and communicative individual who is quite extroverted. Sensitive to harmony, he is committed to justice, and prepared to make great efforts to achieve peace. Aesthetic and creative, he is a jack-of-all-trades and probably enjoys practicing an artistic hobby. As a child, his family are very influential to his development, and parental disharmony is likely to cause him distress. Gentle, affectionate, kind and helpful, he is is quick to become autonomous and responsible, and since he has such strong paternal instincts, he would make a wonderful big brother, taking great care of his younger brothers and sisters. His parents should therefore encourage a sense of responsibility from an early age by making sure he knows that they trust him. Lastly, he has an undisputable aptitude for communication, is eloquent and persuasive as well as inquisitive, adaptable and mobile.
What does he like?
LoÏc enjoys communication, and is very fond of dialectics and enigmas. He is likely to excel in trade, commerce and economics and is loves to discuss these and other subjects, demonstrating a remarkable linguistic ability. Something of a chameleon, he delights in blending into his surrounding environment, even speaking with the local accent of wherever he happens to be! He is able to do this because he has such a good ear and a real aptitude for learning foreign languages. The downside to all this may be a tendency to chatter, to exaggerate or at least elaborate the truth... The most important thing for him is to be admired and entertain - in short, he wants to be the center of attention. Sensory and sensual, he is a true Epicurean and appreciates the many pleasures that this world has to offer. A nice dinner between friends and family, which he himself has a hand in preparing and which he will enjoy with refined gourmet - choosing the very best wines for each course - is likely to be a particularly special moment for him. However he should be careful not to become a slave to his senses!

What does he do?
He can usually be found in the library or on campus, and often undertakes a lengthy program of study because he seeks intellectual enrichment. His sense of responsibility could take him in a political direction (anything from director of a non-profit organization to the highest ministerial positions depending on his ambitions). This characteristic will be even more pronounced if he was born on a 22nd or a 19th. His love of language, literature and oral expression, (sources of enormous personal satisfaction) will naturally lead to occupations that require such talents, for example: translator, interpreter, representative, guide, lawyer, or lecturer. Trade will surely remain his preferred field and, regardless of his chosen profession, it is almost certainly likely to involve considerable responsibility.

Post subject: Best Ever Steak, slow cooked
I should probably post this as a Beef Recipe as well as an important technique, this is a lesson I teach at BBQ School, beef cooked like this is to die for!
This lesson uses a Rack of Beef to illustrate the importance of internal temperature or "Doneness" and how it can be used do guarantee results.
In this recipe the meat is not permitted to rise above 66 degrees Celsius at any stage in the cooking process, the premise being that at temperatures above 66° C (151° F) the juices inside the cells expand to the point that the cell wall breaks and the juice is dispersed through the meat.
This recipe is cooked over 7 hours using only the heat from 6 Heat Beads at any given time, the Idea is to keep the cooking chamber at the same temperature as you want the final result (in this case Medium Well Done: 66° C (151° F)).
First light 6 Heat Beads in your favourite BBQ, then wait till they have a nice white powdery covering of ash, this means they are ready for cooking as the petro-chemicals have been driven off.
Place your meat on the grill and brown it with a blowtorch to develop colour and taste through "caramelisation" otherwise known as the Maillard reaction. The Maillard reaction occurs at 150° C (300° F) and with such a low cooking temperature the meat will not brown without the help of a blowtorch.
Close the lid, check the cooking chamber temperature and come back in an hour.
After three hours check the cooking chamber temperature and the beef, you will most likely need to add a couple more Heat Beads, I use Beads leftover from previous cooking sessions as they have no petro-chemicals and will re-ignite easily when in contact with the already lit ones, this is a good time to add some wood chunks for added smoke flavour.
After 7 hours check the internal temperature of the beef, it should be ready to serve. At this point you could hold the meat at serving temperature in the cooking chamber for another four hours or so without a perceivable loss of moisture or quality when served. In addition the meat has been heated evenly and not to the point where the cells rupture, so there is no need to let it rest before serving.
Here I have brought the meat straight to the table and cut it without resting. You can see I have lost a minimum of the juices, you can also see the structure of the meat is preserved and the cook is even across the cut. Remember this is cooked to Medium Well Done! If we got to this internal temperature by "normal" cooking in a hot chamber the outside of the meat would be dry and stringy and the inside grey, dry and to my mind over cooked (I like mine rare).
Here is what was left in the BBQ the next day and what juices were lost in the carving.
Sometimes I'll cut it into inch thick slices and quickly sear each side before serving.
