Dylan McDermott is heading back to CBS in Kevin Williamson's new untitled pilot drama.
Williamson, known for his work on 'The Following' and 'The Vampire Diaries,' is bringing the potential one-hour series to CBS revolving around detectives dealing with stalking incidents for the Threat Assessment Unit of the LAPD.
Enter McDermott, who will play the major role of recent New York transfer Detective Jack Larsen to the unit. His character is said to be confident and quick-thinking, but Jack isn't as perfect as he looks on the outside. Jack has a troubled past he wants to leave in the past, but if the stalker project gets picked up, we're sure to learn all about the troubled Jack.
Most recently, McDermott was seen in CBS' limited series 'Hostages,' where he played a terrorist holding a family hostage, until the wife of that family (played by Toni Collette) assassinated the president. Of course, he's also known for his roles in 'American Horror Story,' 'The Practice' and the short-lived 'Big Shots.'
The pilot will be directed by Liz Friedlander, who's previously worked with Williamson on several TV series, including 'The Following,' 'The Secret Circle' and 'The Vampire Diaries.' Williamson will write and executive produce with Warner Bros. Television.
No other roles have been cast, but we'll be sure to update you along the way.

In choosing to study the Mathematical and Theoretical Physics Degree (F340) at Aberystwyth University you will be taught by talented members of staff in two leading academic departments.
You will develop your understanding of the more theoretical parts of Physics, replacing an experimental approach to physics with a solid grounding in Mathematics. This combination of Mathematics and Physics links to many spheres of interest, and students studying this diverse subject are very much in demand with employers.
Expand the sections below and find out more...
In studying this degree programme in Mathematics and Physics you will divide your time equally between these two highly complementary academic disciplines in two departments which are making ground-breaking advances in research and innovation.
Why study Mathematics and Physics at Aberystwyth?
Our Mathematics courses are accredited by the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications (IMA), the UK's learned and professional society for mathematics and its applications. The IMA exists to support the advancement of mathematical knowledge and its applications and to promote and enhance mathematical culture in the United Kingdom and elsewhere, for the public good. Our Physics courses are accredited by the Institute of Physics (IoP), a leading scientific society which engages with policymakers and the general public to advance physics education, research and application, giving you a head start when you enter the competitive jobs market.
Mathematics and Physics have been taught at Aberystwyth since the foundation of the university in 1872, making the university the first in Wales to teach these subjects. Recent investment of several million £s in teaching and research has ensured that we continue to innovate and provide a stimulating learning environment for a growing body of mathematics and physics students from all over the world.
The Department of Mathematics maintained its position as one of the best departments in Wales in the most recent Research Excellence Framework (REF2014). The department returned almost 90% of our staff, the highest proportion of any Welsh mathematics department. Results show that 1 in 8 of our research outputs are world leading, and more than 60% are either world leading or internationally excellent. All of our research and the impact it has outside universities, was judged to be of international standard.
100% of our 2014 Maths graduates were in employment or further study 6 months after graduating. 71% were in professional work or graduate level education, above the UK average for the subject (DLHE 2014). This reflects our investment in innovative and strategic, student-focused employability initiatives which encompass all our academic institutes and which we firmly believe are likely to improve our employability ratings still further.
The 2015 National Student Satisfaction survey results show high levels of satisfaction amongst Mathematics and Statistics students, with 84% reporting satisfaction with the quality of the teaching they received, and 92% satisfaction with learning resources (5 points above the UK average for the subject).
Our Physics lecturers are also researchers working at the cutting edge of their respective fields, so you can be confident that your learning experience will be informed by the latest specialist knowledge along with advanced instrumentation, modelling and techniques.
The Departments of Mathematics and Physics are at the forefront of Welsh-medium provision in these subjects at higher education level in Wales. Details of Welsh language modules in mathematics and physics may be obtained from the Department.
Department of Physics Lecturers are all qualified to PhD level and have a track record of research in their fields of specialisation.
Most lecturers in the Department of Mathematics are qualified to PhD level and are research active. Many have a postgraduate teaching qualification.

At the end of your second year your tutors will discuss with you what your priorities and aspirations are and will advise you whether to continue studying for the BSc or to take a fourth year of study and gain the MMath qualification. If you decide to continue working towards the BSc, only half of your third-year modules will be core modules so you will be able to choose your remaining modules from the full range of level three Mathematics and Physics modules, allowing you to tailor the course to suit your interests.
How will you be taught?
This course will be taught predominantly through lectures but students will also attend example classes – in which you work through problems under the supervision of a lecturer – and small-group tutorials and workshops. These interactive learning environments allow you to check your understanding and receive feedback. Assessment methods will include exams, coursework and continuous assessment. You may choose to undertake an individual project in your final year, which requires you to carry out independent research on a problem of your choice and to disseminate the results through written and oral reports. This option is particularly relevant to students who intend to go on to further study and pursue a research career.
You will be assigned a personal tutor throughout your degree course, who will help you with any problems or queries, whether these are academic-related or personal issues. You should feel free to contact them at any time for help and advice.
You will also have the opportunity to complete a Personal Development Plan (PDP) at Aberystwyth. This is a structured process of self-appraisal, reflection, and planning, which will enable you to chart your personal, academic and professional development throughout your time at university. By recording your academic performance, and highlighting the skills you already have and those you will need for future employability, the PDP portfolio will equip you with the necessary tools to plan effectively, develop successful approaches to study, and consider your future career options and aspirations.
Physics enhances everyday your understanding of the universe and everything we experience Passionate scientists inform you of their contributions to science at the forefront of physics. Your time is split between gaining hands-on laboratory experience using exciting equipment including lasers, oscilloscopes and spectrometers, and lectures that will inspire and interest you. Each module challenges your intelligence and allows you to gain knowledge that most people benefit from but do not know exists. Students achieve excellence, and stretch their minds. It requires time and effort but the skills and understanding you gains are second to none. Sarah Chandler

Recent research efforts (Schmidt et al. in The preparation gap: teacher education for middle school mathematics in six countries, MSU Center for Research in Mathematics and Science Education, 2007) demonstrate that teacher development programs in high-performing countries offer experiences that are designed to develop both mathematical knowledge and pedagogical knowledge. However, identifying the nature of the mathematical knowledge and the pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) required for effective teaching remains elusive (Ball et al. in J Teacher Educ 59:389–407, 2008). Building on the initial conceptual framework of Magnusson et al. (Examining pedagogical content knowledge, Kluwer, Dordrecht, pp 95–132, 1999), we examined the PCK development for two beginning middle and secondary mathematics teachers in an alternative certification program. The PCK development of these two individuals varied due to their focus on developing particular aspects of their PCK, with one individual focusing on assessment and student understanding, and the other individual focusing on curricular knowledge. Our findings indicate that these individuals privileged particular aspects of their knowledge, leading to differences in their PCK development. This study provides insight into the specific aspects of PCK that developed through the course of actual instructional practice, providing a lens for future research in this area.

Somewhat Old School Approach to Access
Sean O'Neil
on July 14, 2004
Format: Paperback
This book is breezy enough in tone and works well enough as a programmer's reference but the rah-rah Access! delivery grates after a while. The authors are old school in that they introduce an end of life data access model (DAO) at length and then make endless and confusing references to it while they document the current initiative, ADO. (They spend 64 pages on DAO--a legacy object model useful only for desktop databases and 46 pages on ADO, the preferred model, an evolving technology for use with everything from desktop to enterprise.) These topics should be treated in isolation from one another as a side-by-side comparison is just unnecessarily confusing, especially for users of Access 2000/XP/2003. It's almost like their only intent is to prove how long they've been Access developers instead of providing the most streamlined and useful documentation--in other words, it's more about them than it is you. They're also big on their own received wisdom as opposed to accuracy like encouraging readers to document their code as if they were writing a bible because there is no speed hit involved--this isn't necessarily true. They also have a bad habit of not declaring variables in their sample code (with annoyingly trendy scenarios like "how many lattes can I buy?"), which is a cause for concern in a book about programming. There is useful, if overenthusiastic, coverage of the new features in Access 2003. If you're comfortable with the series and need a lengthy reference to complement the Microsoft Access help files, you'll find useful information here...with large swaths of information (hundreds of pages at a time) that you'll probably never use.

Not a good reference for everyone
A customer
on June 12, 2004
Format: Paperback
I am writing this review because I believe the expectations created by the book description and reviews were not met.
I do not disagree that the book is comprehensive as the description and the reviews point out. It discusses subjects that are wide-ranging and, I am certain, very important to many readers.
My contention is that the book is not organized in such a manner as to allow a less experienced user to get at what he wants. I think books like these need to better indicate for whom they are written. The foreward talks about it being for those who have been using Access for some time and are just beginning to jump into the world of code. I have had a reasonable amount of experience with Access, relational databases and electronic spreadsheets. I have a decent understanding of programming although only little expereince with object oriented programming.I feel that I understand Access sufficiently well that I have a base upon which to add the VBA skills. I really don't believe that the book is written for such a person.
My opinion of the shortcomings follow.
I believe the most important component of a reference source is the index. In this case the index is 24 pages with 100 entries on each. The frustration I faced in trying to answer my questions through the index, and table of contents was as bad or worse than trying to use Microsoft help screens or on-line resources.
I do not understand the organization of the book. It does not seem to follow a path from broad to narrow or any other progression that makes intuitive sense. I know this is acceptable in a reference but only, I would say, if there was a sufficient index.
The general execution of the book was also inferior. I was frequently distracted by grammar errors such as the wrong word (eg "than" instead of "that") and even typos. The figures and tables were numbered but not titled and in at least one case was misreferenced from the text. I found myself really in need of a diagram in many cases but there were none to be found. The car analogy used to explain Object Oriented Programming was not clear and I think possibley incorrect. The analogy describes "Press" as a method of the "Gas Pedal" object when it seems to me to be more like an event triggered by the user. I am not saying that I am necessarily right or the authors definitely wrong. I'm just saying that the analogy was ineffective. Again, I would have loved (and expected) a diagram or some representation that would explain this difficult concept.
I want to say that in the end I did find the elusive answer to my question although just by chance. I think this will illustrate my frustration with this book. I wanted to know how to automate the import of a TXT file. I had searched on-line help and 2 other Access books as well as this book but could not find the answer. I finally was skimming through the methods of the DoCmd Object in Appendix E (The Access Object Model) and happened on the DoMenuItem method (page 750.) The description of this method explained that it executes the specified menu item but that it was a legacy from Access 97 that had been replaced by the RunCommand method in later version of Access. I then flipped forward in the same appendix to the RunCommand Method Arguments section (page 793) which started with this comment: "One of the easiest ways to perform a variety of functions in Microsoft Access is through use of the RunCommand Method." I thought that if it was so easy, then why doesn't somebody include it in their discussion of VBA. (I don't know if this book does so because the only reference to the RunCommand in the index is to the Appendix pages noted above. There are no references to the DoCmd or menus in the index.)
When I found this discussion, I knew that I had answered my question but I still had more errors to deal with. The section was entitled RunCommand Method Arguments but the verbage that preceded the table stated "The RunCommnad takes a single argument, the acCommand constant. All of the available acCommand constants are listed in the following table." The column in the table that follows is entitled "Argument." I know that constants can be arguments but don't these constants relate to the acCommand which is the only argument of the RunCommand? I know this is picky (and I feel more than a little self-conscious for exposing my ignorance) but doesn't a book about language need to be precise and consistent in their use of terms?
I would also ask what the value is of this (the RunCommand Methods Arguments) table. It simply lists the constants (Arguments [?]) This information is available and more easily accessible in on-line help. The inclusion of this table (and possibley others) may make the reference more complete but does not necessarily make it more valuable. At the risk of beating a dead horse, I feel this table illustrates another shortcoming of this text in that it isn't even organized very well. The 9 page table has two columns that list the constants alphabetically. The first column starts on page 793 with acCmdAboutMicrosoft and finishes on page 802 with AcCmdPivotChartDrillInto. The list continues in column 2 back on page 793. I know this is confusing but so is the book.
I have no doubt that the authors of this book are extremely knowledgeable (and even really good and helpful people.) I would love to know what they know. That is why I bought this book. I can't imagine the difficulty in trying to organize and explain such a large and complex model but that is what they have attempted to do. I would love to see this book reworked and represented in a better way because I think think it contains a lot of good information. I just don't think enough consideration was given the user or enough care was taken in the execution.

Excellent, hands-on reference

I have to agree with reviewer Paul E. that the authors did an outstanding job on this book.
The book is comprehensive, covering just about everything you need to know when you're working with Access application development.
For me, the 250 pages or so of appendixes have been the most useful, but there's also a sixty-page chapter on database security in the middle of the book that should be required reading for all Access developers.
Here's the table of contents from my copy of the book:
1. Intro to Access.
2. Access, VBA, and Macros.
3. New Features in 2003 (and 2002).
4. VBA Basics.
5. Using the VBA Editor.
6. Using DAO to Access Data.
7. Using ADO to Access Data.
8. Executing VBA.
9. VBA Error Handling.
10. Using VBA to Enhance Forms.
11. Enhancing Reports with VBA.
12. Creating Classes.
13. APIs.
15. Working with Office Applications.
16. Security.
17. Understanding Client-Server Development with VBA.
18. Windows Registry.
19. Using the ADE Tools.
20. Macro Security.

This book has it all!
Amazon Customer
on April 13, 2004
Format: Paperback
This is a very special book. The authors obviously went way out of their way to include everything that you could need to be a successful Access developer. As far as I know, this extensive reference material has never before been assembled in one place. As a result, it is just the right thing for aspiring intermediate and advanced users of Microsoft Access. Even many developers with extensive experience will be surprised at what can finally become clear to them by checking out what this reference makes available. You'd have to search the Microsoft and other sites for weeks to assemble all this on your own.
This well-written reference covers everything from VBA basics to using the new Access Developer Extensions, which are part of Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System. In between it also covers error handling, enhancing forms, enhancing reports, SQL coding, and even working with the Windows Registry. The appendices go all the way from A to L, or from Upgrading of Access (what other book covers this subject at all, never mind so thoroughly?) to VBA Reserved Words.
I have never seen such comprehensive reference material! And is it loaded with tips, tips, tips! The authors have obviously lived in the trenches with Access for some time. They know what to watch out for. They know what kind of protocols you should set up yourself to boost your success.
It took the experience of four co-authors and several other contributors to bring this work together. Patricia, Teresa, Graham and Armen have provided a unique Access reference that will get you up and going fast and save you scads of time that you would otherwise have wasted learning "the hard way" or, at best, wasted digging through a multitude of written and online references. This is a special, one-of-a kind reference work!

"A Must Have Reference"
Robert A.Mattey
on July 2, 2004
Format: Paperback
As an Access Developer this is one of my most used Access VBA reference books. All of the authors present the material in a good comprehensive manner for all levels of Access development. There are many clearly presented code examples and Access information that will assist in all levels of development.
There are many good chapters in the book; however don't overlook the Appendices as they are exceptional.(Note: Appendix I "Tips and Tricks") I know most Access Developers are selective in the books they buy. If you scan this book you will see how much above other VBA reference books this particular book is.

Hi there,
I'm not sure if this is already available, but would it be possible to have a hash of the latest.tar.gz uploaded onto the same site the download comes from? I'm automating roll-outs of WordPress, and I was thinking it'd be nice to have the script check that I'm using an up-to-date version before I start, and I don't want to have it re-download if it's not needed.
Eg I grab wordpress.org/latest.md5 which should only be a few bytes, I compare it to md5 latest.tar.gz, and if they're different I redownload and extract.
SHA1, SHA256, MD5, I don't mind... Just something in a text file that we can parse easily in a script to determine if the file's changed and should be re-downloaded.

Alone with Her
- Studio: IFC Films
- Release Date: Jan 17, 2007
Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Not always totally credible and it cheats a bit on the fixed point of view. But a terrific and brave performance by Talancon makes this far superior to the generic thrillers churned out by the big studios.
Made for $1 million, its production values are raw and Nicholas makes at least one too many obvious choices himself. But its very rawness adds to its creepiness and keeps us in suspense in ways most studio movies don't.
In 1960, British director Michael Powell made "Peeping Tom," the definitive exploration of voyeurism in the movies. The shocking thriller also practically ruined the career of the veteran filmmaker. Although the stalker-centric Alone With Her doesn't quite rank with Powell's masterpiece, it shows enough promise that one hopes writer/director Eric Nicholas doesn't share his fate.
This is a truly disturbing work that makes the mind race with worry, and the heart pump with fear, though thankfully not in a way that tests a viewer's unease every minute. Gradually. Ever so gradually.
A pretty engaging tale, and it's refreshing to see a well-acted, suspenseful drama made without a bloated budget or a lot of bloodletting.
While Canadian writer-director Eric Nicholas has no fresh thoughts about the voyeuristic nature of movie going, he knows enough to make sure when high-tech peeper Doug (Colin Hanks, son of Tom) conceals his camera in a bag, its lens pokes out of the zipper like the big, fat metaphor it is.
This first feature is shot "first person" and is first and foremost a concept -- at least as interesting to think about as to actually watch.
In the end, the characters seem less archetypal than vague, and aside from its sophisticated presentation, Alone With Her doesn't differ all that much from its template: the late-'80s and early-'90s Fill-In-the-Blanks-From-Hell movies that followed in the wake of "Fatal Attraction," many of whose elements (including the heroine's inquisitive, doomed best friend) Mr. Nicholas revives almost verbatim.
More interesting conceptually than dramatically, Eric Nicholas' thriller Alone With Her boasts a highly clever technological conceit, albeit one that was exploited many years ago to a lesser degree in "The Anderson Tapes."

Sep 6, 2015Where The Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity used their found footage format to enhance the scares rather than hinder them, AloneWhere The Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity used their found footage format to enhance the scares rather than hinder them, Alone with Her utilizes its style to create a suspenseful stalker thriller, even if it hits all the familiar genre beats. Alone with Her is shown from various hidden cameras inside a young woman's house that were set up by a stalker. There are also video cameras attached to him making you the stalker. Nothing about Alone with Her should be terribly surprising to even a casual viewer, but the way the cameras are set up can lead to some really unsettling images. This is a very character-driven suspense film. It's subtle and doesn't rely on elaborate chase scenes or convoluted plot twists. Alone with Her may not offer too many twists to the stalker genre, but the found footage format makes for a unique and unsettling experience.… Full Review »

The United Arab Emirates experiences a sub-tropical climate so it remains warm in winter with hot and humid conditions in the summer months. Summer and winter are therefore the two key seasons that dominate the climate of Abu Dhabi.
In Abu Dhabi, summer starts in May and lasts till September, with extreme heat and humidity gripping the city.
During this summer the temperature of Abu Dhabi can climb to a scorching 48°C, while the humidity levels fluctuate between 80-90%.
Sandstorms regularly hit the city from let May to early July. However, tourists may witness a little rainfall during these months.
The winter months of December to March are very pleasant in Abu Dhabi, with the temperature remaining around 24°C during the day and 10°C at night.
Winter does welcome a high level of fog, however, which can reduce visibility and result in the potential cancellation of flights.
Rainy seasons occur throughout November to February, where rainfall wets the streets of Abu Dhabi, although the average rainfall in the city is still only 12cm per year.
Note: The data for charts above are taken from year 2000 to 2012.

Did you know UPS fired 250 workers for standing up for a fellow worker? Unfortunately, the answer is probably no. I have not seen any news written about it in the mainstream press. What is going on here? My guess is that it is part of an orchestrated effort to keep these unfair labor practices away from a public that has grown more class conscious in recent years.
Witness the attack on New York City's newly elected mayor. Mayor Bill de Blasio who was elected by a clear majority of New Yorkers. Using his mandate, he has tried to follow through on his campaign promises like enacting universal PreK and ending "Stop and Frisk," the NY Police Department racial profiling policy. And then there is the attack on him from the hedge fund operators of charter schools.
So now the 1 percent is pulling out all the stops. Ken Langone, the billionaire co-founder of Home Depot and major GOP donor said of populist appeals, "I hope it's not working ... because if you go back to 1933, with different words, this is what Hitler was saying in Germany. You don't survive as a society if you encourage and thrive on envy or jealousy."
Langone claims that the mayor is dividing the city into classes; well, yes that's exactly the case except it's not de Blasio who gave voice - although his campaign talked about the tale of two cities - it was Occupy Wall Street that brought the class voice to the table.
I bring this into the UPS labor dispute because the firing of the entire work force in Maspeth, N.Y., is akin to when a one-time president who in 1981 fired some 11,000 Air Controllers. Remember that? President Ronald Reagan sent a message to the entire labor and people's movement that he was the union-buster-in-chief with that move. It matters what side elected officials are on.
On Feb. 26, UPS fired a 24-year UPS worker and union activist who was protesting the grueling 12-hour days during a bitter winter, and the company's unwillingness to reach an agreement addressing the issue; 250 UPS employees from Teamsters local 804 walked off the jobs in support. The company retaliated by firing all 250 union members.
Several local representatives have made statements including past Labor Secretary Robert Reich in support of the workers, "Support Growing for UPS Teamsters in NYC." (Story continues after video.)
NYC Public Advocate Letitia James made her position known: "I stand in solidarity with UPS drivers who are being threatened with firings for protesting in support of a fellow employee. New York's workingmen and women deserve respect. I urge UPS to work with the drivers' labor representatives in good faith to address any underlying issues."
Local 804 members are holding parking lot meetings and circulating petitions to support their brothers and sisters. These actions will continue throughout the week and will cover every building in the local. Local 804 has been in talks with UPS management to try to resolve the dispute and address the underlying problems that led to it.
"Teamster members have joined our fight and are collecting signatures at UPS buildings across the nation, Chicago Local 705 Business Agents and members are busy building solidarity."
At this time, all 250 drivers and loaders have returned to work, Local 804 is waiting on UPS representative(s) to determine the standing of their union brother who was initially fired without due representation.
Tell UPS that it's not okay to retaliate against their workers. The drivers are committed to negotiating a fair resolution-why can't UPS do the same? Click here to sign an online petition to support the drivers.
UPS is a billion dollar corporation; according to their 2013 Annual Report, UPS net income was 4.3 billion dollars.
UPDATE: The 250 employees are BACK to work but under the threat of suspension.--which means that they are being watched carefully for any infringements of their contract. The fellow who was fired originally, is Not BACK!

We chose this hotel as it was not very expensive and near the city center. It occupies 1st and 4th floor in an old apartment house. There is an 80-years-old elevator in the building (still working!) it is worth a 10cent coin to ride it. From our room with a large window on the 4th floor we had a magnificent view to a government building, a square with a fountain. The sound of traffic might be annoying if you are not used to it.
The room was old, not so clean and definitely needed some refurbishment. The paint fell of the walls in some places, the bath had rusty spots. The bed was not so comfortable. There was a minibar in the room, ariconditioning was working well, the bathroom was equipped with complimentary toiletries and a hairdryer. Unfortunately the room door is not soundproofed and you can hear people talking on the corridor and other door slamming.
The reception staff (the reception is in another building) was efficient and helpful. There were some problems with the booking - solved quickly. The "happy hour" between 6 and 8 is not worth going unless you need to use the internet - wifi is only accessible in the lobby of the reception building. There were some snacks, crisps, popcorn and two kinds of sweet sparkling wine.
The breakfast was a typical Italian breakfast, mostly sweet pastry, bread, jam, cream cheese and coffee (good coffee...). Nothing special, but a good start of a day.
All in all I got what I expected from a 1 star budget hotel. I would recommend that the owner invested in wifi routers for the Internet to be available in the rooms.

When viewing a "Parent Category" i'd like to list the title of the "Sub-Categories" that only contain posts, i've been through documentation and can't find anythign on this, hope someone can help.
For example:
I'f i'm viewing the category "Portfolio". mysite.com/portfolio/
It would Display categories like "Photography", "Design" etc etc. Seems simple in theory.
But only show these sub-categories if they have posts within them.
Hope that makes sense.
Note: I don't want to have to hardcore the category name e.g . (IF category ="Portoflio") - it must be dynamic.
Also I don't need it to be linked, just to pull the ptitles in plain text.

Cricket's 'Chucking' Challenge
Cricket's most unusual technical challenge, and the single characteristic that defines the game more than anything else, is the fact that the ball is bowled, rather than thrown with an arm that straightens. Policing the straightness of bowlers' arms has always been one of the game's top priorities. A ball bowled with a straightening arm is classified as a no-ball, and repeated infractions attract harsh punishments. But the current system of assessing that straightness is overly reliant on an imperfect gauge – the human eye – when other, more accurate methods of measurement are available.
Playing for Pune Warriors against Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League on April 14, West Indian all-rounder Marlon Samuels was reported by the umpires for a suspect action. In other words, they suspect his arm straightens illegally when he bowls. If it happens again within a year, he'll be suspended while remedial action is taken. And this is why chucking, as it's known, is such a sensitive and emotive subject: it has the power to dog, curtail or even end a career.
This has happened a number of times. Samuels himself had to undergo remedial work on his action after he was reported by the umpires in a Test match in South Africa in 2008, but other players have suffered much graver outcomes. Perhaps the most famous case was Australian left-arm paceman Ian Meckiff, who represented his country with some success in 18 Tests between 1957 and 1963. His cricket playing career ended after he was repeatedly no-balled for throwing in a Test against South Africa by umpire Colin Egar, who received death threats as a result. The 1950s, in particular, was a time when suspicions of chucking were widespread, although not many players were actually called for it. Players, umpires and team officials were aware of the impact an accusation could have, so they typically held off for diplomatic reasons. But then, of course, they could never be sure that they were correct. A blurry, low-quality television replay was the most sophisticated technology available, making it very hard to be certain that an elbow did indeed bend.
In fact, the great irony of that era is that, according to the laws of the game as they stood then, every single bowler was chucking. Law 23.4 originally stated that the arm couldn't straighten during delivery at all, but in the 1990s, when technology allowed for detailed analysis, it turned out that almost everyone's arm straightens a little bit. The only answer was to introduce a tolerance level, and after briefly experimenting with different percentages for different categories of bowler, the International Cricket Council in 2003 settled on 15% tolerance across the board.
It's important to remember that a bent arm is fine, just not one that straightens. Howls of protest went up when Pakistan's brilliant off-spinner Saeed Ajmal mentioned a 23.5% bend in his arm in an interview during his team's recent Test series thrashing of England. What he didn't say is that he only straightens his arm by 8%, and of course the bend, which is always there, isn't a problem. Ajmal's action also involves an unusually high rate of abduction, or rotation around the elbow joint, which can create an illusion of the arm straightening. That might be the reason why, in recent years, the majority of the bowlers with suspect actions are spinners, even though it would seem more obviously tempting for a fast bowler to throw, in order to gain extra speed. One reason is that, without the run-up of a seamer, it can be hard for a spinner to bowl a surprise faster ball with the same action; it was off-spinner Samuels' faster ball that recently attracted umpires Aleem Dar and Bruce Oxenford's attention.
Particularly rubbery wrists can also accentuate a false impression of an illegal action. Again, this is mainly an issue for spinners, the most extreme example being Test cricket's all-time highest wicket taker, Muttiah Muralitharan. Accusations of chucking have dogged Murali's career, particularly regarding his doosra, a ball delivered with something close to an off-spinner's action but turning in the opposite direction, from leg to off. This physical feat can involve suspicion-raising contortions of the arm.
The great Sri Lankan off-spinner has done everything to prove his action is legit, from submitting himself to detailed biomechanical analysis to bowling in an arm brace on live television. But it never silenced the doubters, especially in Australia, where he was called by several umpires and jeered by crowds who cried "no ball" whenever he bowled. Former Australian captain and match referee Barry Jarman even placed a protractor next to a picture of Murali, apparently feeling that a bent arm alone demonstrated that he was bowling no-balls.
The difference between a bent arm and one that straightens ought to be, well, straightforward. But judging with the naked eye how many degrees an arm has extended while taking issues such as abduction and wrist rotation into account, not so much. In other words, you can't trust the naked eye where chucking is concerned. So it's time to take the responsibility for reporting bowlers out of the hands of the on-field umpires, who have quite enough on their plate already and simply don't have the tools at their disposal to make a decision that could seriously affect someone's career.
Umpires don't call chucking no-balls on field any more, which is a step forward in terms of not subjecting players to a trial by humiliation. But this creates a weird inconsistency where umpires are trusted to make an assessment that could be critical to a player's future, but not to actually enforce the relevant law.
The rule should be: Don't raise suspicions that someone chucks unless you have the full facts at your disposal. So it needs to be put in the hands of independent scientific opinion, with every international bowler's action examined so that there's a level playing field. Those with actions that appear to the naked eye to be illegal, but that actually aren't, won't be discriminated against. Cricket loves to preserve the primacy of its on-field umpires, but this is a case where they'd need superpowers to be able to make an accurate judgment.

I have a flash disk possibly with bas sectors. When I try to copy data to it, it works fine until somewhere around 460Mb, and then the files start getting corrupted. The corruption happens only when I unmount and remove the drive, before unmounting, the files are fine. The linux program 'badblocks' doesn't find any bad blocks. I tried formatting it, but that didn't have any effect. I used Fat 16 and 32, and both had the same problem. Is there a way to test for bad blocks after unmounting and how do I fix them?
I guess you have synchronization problem... Before unmount do the synchronization by
If this solution will not resolve your problem, you can try hard format your USB stick by 'dd' command
then create partition and do a format.
Either those solutions will not work say bye to your stick..

Editor's note: Welcome to the weekly installment of "Tacklin' Fantasy," our recap of the news and trends you need to keep top of mind for fantasy dominance
49er to start: Frank Gore, RB
49ers running back Frank Gore is about as consistent a fantasy running back as there is, averaging 17 carries and 79.5 yards per game. Although Gore hasn't had a big impact in the passing game -- zero receptions since Week 3 -- look for that to change against the 49ers' Week 7 opponent, the Tennessee Titans. The Titans have given up at least five receptions to running backs in each of the past three weeks. Expect Mr. Gore to continue to be his usual productive self this week.
Raider to start:
The Raiders are on a bye this week; nobody should be starting on your team.
49er to sit: Anquan Boldin, WR
In the past two weeks, Anquan Boldin has been held to 21 and 28 yards, respectively. Look for that trend to continue in Week 7, as the 49ers play the Tennessee Titans, who allow 223.8 passing yards per game (10th in the league) and hold No. 1 wide receivers to a measly 6.7 targets and 34.9 yards per game.
Raider to sit:
NFL Week 7 trend: Waiver wire running backs
Zac Stacy -- In both of his final two years at Vanderbilt University, Zac Stacy rushed for over 1100 yards, something no other player in the SEC accomplished. As the St. Louis Rams' fifth-round pick, expectations weren't high, but Stacy started the past two weeks, and was effective with 32 carries for 157 yards. At this point in the fantasy season, no full-time starting running backs should be on waivers; Stacy should now be owned in all fantasy leagues.
Joseph Randle -- Cowboys starter Demarco Murray suffered an MCL knee sprain in Week 6 and could be out multiple weeks. In steps undrafted rookie Joseph Randle to take over for Dallas. In relief last week, against the Washington Redskins, Randle rushed for 17 yards on 11 carries with a touchdown. He should be owned and started, especially if Murray is out for any extended period of time.
Chris Ogbonnaya -- As the Cleveland Browns starting fullback and passing down rusher, Ogbonnaya caught seven of his 12 targets last week including a touchdown. With an average of 2.8 yards per carry, starting running back Willis McGahee isn't getting it done. This week, Cleveland plays the Green Bay Packers, with all signs pointing to a high-scoring game. Ogbonnaya should continue to see targets, making him valuable in PPR-leagues.
Buy-low candidate: Jacoby Jones, WR, Baltimore Ravens
Before suffering an injured knee and other off-field issues, Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Jacoby Jones was primed for a breakout year. Returning from a four-game absence, Jones had two receptions for 42 yards and a touchdown last week. He should continue to see increased targets and production as the Ravens No. 2 wide receiver going forward.
Sell-high candidate: Matt Ryan, QB, Atlanta Falcons
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is having a typical Ryan season -- second in the NFL with 329.8 passing yards per game, 69.3 completion percentage and 10:3 touchdown to interception ratio. Injuries to receivers Julio Jones and Roddy White along with running back Steven Jackson have ravaged Atlanta's offense. As a result, Ryan doesn't have the necessary targets to throw to in the upcoming weeks. The Falcons play Darrelle Revis and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7.
Star to sit: Larry Fitzgerald, WR, Arizona Cardinals
Wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald is leading the Arizona Cardinals in receptions, yards and touchdowns. He is also coming off a season-high 117 receiving yards against the 49ers. The downside? Fitzgerald is still not 100 percent with a hamstring injury. More importantly, in Week 7 he'll face Richard Sherman and the Seahawks, who take pride in eliminating big, physical wide receivers on a weekly basis. When the 49ers faced Seattle in Week 2, Anquan Boldin hauled in just one catch for seven yards. Don't expect much from Fitzgerald.
Update: In Thursday's loss vs. Seattle, Fitzgerald managed just two receptions for 17 yards.
No-namer to start: Jarrett Boykin, WR, Green Bay Packers
Green Bay is fourth in the NFL with 309.4 passing yards per game this season, but with receivers Randall Cobb and James Jones injured, new No. 2 wideout Jarrett Boykin will play a more prominent role in the air attack. (Jones is officially listed as questionable, but is not expected to play.) Facing the Browns this weekend, all-world cornerback Joe Haden will presumably shadow Packers' No. 1 receiver Jordy Nelson, forcing Aaron Rodgers to look elsewhere. Look for Boykin to reap the benefits this week.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. ---- Auburn Montgomery junior men's soccer defender Taian Souza was named the first recipient of the Army ROTC Athletic Achievement Award for the 2012-13 school year on Wednesday, for his efforts both on and off the field.
Souza has continued to provide steady support both offensively and defensively this season for AUM. In the three games that he has participated in, Souza has one assist and three shots from the right defensive back position for the No. 3 Warhawks. He also is a key part of a defense which allowed only one goal in those three games combined.
"Taian has been a great leader for us this season," Head Coach Wulf Koch said. "He always comes to practice with a positive attitude, and he has a great sense of humor. We are fortunate to have him as a team captain."
An injury forced Souza to miss the previous game against No. 1 Lindsey Wilson. It did not prevent him, however, from volunteering his free time last weekend to coach soccer to kids through the Upward Bound program at the St. James United Methodist Church. Upward Bound is a program funded by the U.S. Department of Education to provide support for high school students in need.
Souza also maintains a 3.58 grade-point average despite the significant time dedication required for soccer. In his time at AUM, he has not had a semester with a GPA lower than 3.50. Earlier in the summer, Souza volunteered at a soccer camp in Prattville and assisted with AUM Move-in-Day along with the rest of his team.
Criteria for the Army ROTC Athletic Achievement Award includes being certified for eligibility and involved in participation of a varsity sport; performance on the field or court during the previous two weeks; contributions to the team's success through their individual leadership skills, their commitment to teamwork, their extra effort during practice and their demonstration of sportsmanship; and performance off the field of play, including academic success, character and exemplary community outreach.
Freshman men's cross country runner Garrett Carr and senior women's soccer forward Margret Albertsdottir were also nominated for the award.

NHS Gloucestershire advertises for parties to run services
- 16 May 2012
- From the section Gloucestershire
The future of who provides community health care in Gloucestershire has taken a new turn.
NHS Gloucestershire has advertised for interested parties, both private and within the NHS, to run services such as community nursing and therapy.
In February a legal challenge against the Primary Care Trust (PCT) stopped an attempt to transfer services to a social enterprise group.
Stroud Against Cuts campaigners said they would fight privatisation.
NHS Gloucestershire will be abolished in March next year and GPs will take over the buying of services for local people.
Its advert states: "We need to ensure that whoever runs these community health services in the future can meet the needs of local people, can provide safe, high quality care and treatment and can make the most of the money and resources available."
There will now be 30 days for interested parties to apply to run its services.
The views of staff and members of the public will then be sought before it decides whether a contract with a provider can be entered into or whether a tender process is required.
Caroline Molloy, from Stroud Against the Cuts, said: "We will continue to watch out for any attempts to offer up our NHS hospitals to the private sector, and to fight it at every stage.
"All we want is for people's views to be heard and taken into account.
"The overwhelming majority of the public, four out of every five people nationwide, want health services to remain in the NHS, not go out to private companies."

Hundreds of people are expected to attend Saturday
afternoon's service for the two Dunedin children killed by
their father.
The death notices for Bradley (9) and Ellen (6) Livingstone
said their lives would be remembered at a ''celebration of
life'' service.
The service would be held at St Leonards School from 2pm and
hundreds of people were expected, Gillions funeral services
managing director Keith Gillions said.
The service would be held at the 180-person capacity school
hall, and would be limited to family members, school pupils
and their parents.
A large marquee and screen would be erected outside for those
wanting to pay their respects, he said.
Dunedin businesses, including Hirequip and Strawberry Sound,
had offered their services, and Lions members would assist.
Details of shuttles and parking arrangements were expected to
be advised later this week.
The death notice from the family noted ''Bradley and Ellen
were colourful and delightful children - please share in the
celebration of their lives by displaying colour in whichever
way you choose''.
Instead of flowers, donations would be accepted at the
service for Women's Refuge.
''We will miss your cheeky grins, huge cuddles, constant
singing and sense of mischief,'' another death notice said.
''Bradley, you were the protector. You were always looking
out for Ellen and were an amazing big brother. You have a
gentle, caring soul and we will miss you dearly.
''Ellen, your infectious grin and beautiful singing would
fill the room and make us smile. Your fashion sense and
hairstyles were like no other and you will never be
More than $6960 has been raised to help the children's
mother, Katharine Webb.
A bank account was opened last week for Ms Webb and, so far,
$6963 has been raised.
Donations can still be made to the ANZ bank account
(06-0909-0401308-00), under the name St Leonards School board
of trustees.
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.
