AbstractThe chloroperoxidase enzyme from the filamentous fungus Caldariomyces fumago has applications in industrial chemical synthesis and the detection and inactivation of chemical warfare agents. Chloroperoxidase is capable of regio- and enantioselective oxygenations and halogenations of organic substrates. When performed chemically, these reactions typically require aggressive reagents and reaction conditions, and lead to the formation of undesired by-products. Widespread adoption of enzyme-catalyzed synthetic strategies is hindered by the high cost of purified proteins, and by the challenges of retaining the native activity of proteins expressed using heterologous host systems. Chloroperoxidase is a heavily glycosylated protein, and only when it is expressed in filamentous fungal hosts such as Aspergillus niger are the post-translational modifications necessary for its activity performed with fidelity. Development of optimized Aspergillus strains and constructs has facilitated heterologous expression of a range of secreted proteins. In this Phase I, Agave BioSystems proposes to develop a system for expression and purification of chloroperoxidase (CPO) from C. fumago using the filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger as host. Fermentation conditions will be optimized for high volume and cost-effective production, and the biochemical properties of the recombinant enzyme will be characterized.

Would you throw your medal into the crowd if you were a manager. I just think its a little out of order for him to do it as chelsea fans will see that he doesnt care too much about medals or maybe even chelsea.
what are your thoughts? I know some chelsea fans think its out of order to sell the medal, well what about jose throwing it. Just as disrespectful to the club me thinks.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Personally, i thought it was the "specialone" looking for more media coverage. I don't think it's a sign that he wants to leave, or that it was meant as a good gesture to chelsea fans.
Hey Alfy, when you comig to pick Fletch up, mate?

Evil Bread Man Evil Bread Man May 6, 2006 00:48 Flag
hello conor, how ya doing mate
another rumour doing the rounds is that jose works for Amex and the medal is a Barclays one. just a vicious rumour but did Amex put him up to it?
I would pick him up mate but i would drop him on his head accidentally on purpose and that wouldnt be good for the lad. but then again he might suddenly become good.
not_blonde_really not_blonde_really May 2, 2006 01:12 Flag
I didn't see it as disrespectful, I took it as a tribute to the fans - a mark of their input to the team if you like, & acknowledgement of it being a shared achievment. I thought it was a very generous action, although his comments afterwards about not being happy kinda put a shadow over it.

Evil Bread Man Evil Bread Man May 2, 2006 02:10 Flag
fair enough blondie i suppose every man/woman for themselves on what they do with their medals. but he aint got many medals in his cabinet at home cos he's thrown them all away LOL. i guess he'll just have some dvds and a few piccys on the wall to remember his wins or maybe the 8 page pull-out in The Sun. hehe
dont get me wrong but it kinda just looks like he's on his way out of chelsea.
I think its pretty cool
It shows how excited he was, i like morinho, ok he is arrogant as but still makes the prem more intresting. besides when you look at manager behaviour he has done much worse things (as well as a few other managers)
But for the fan who got it they shouldnt sell it, should be a treasure momento

We are all plant lovers and as such, we like to share our plants. With that in mind we have decided on a number of plant expos, at different times of the year in different venues. These will be relatively informal events, where plants can be exhibited for a people's choice award, plants can be bought and sold and a number of experts will be on hand to answer questions.
Our annual Interspecific Clivia and Plant Expo will take place in Rooihuiskraal, Centurion on the 16 July 2016, and will be in the form of a Plant Market …. please look at the map page for directions
Entrance will be free
Only legal plants will be allowed at the Expo, nature conservation DOES come and check
Want to promote your Club or Society at the Expo?
Contact us and we will arrange a place for you to do it, at no cost.

When I use the draw method inside a image, it completely ingores the alpha channel and fills it in with white. Is there a way I can draw it where the alpha is see through like it's suppost to be? I would look at their website but
Have you tried
If you are using OpenGL to draw the image then this enables alpha channel blending.

I installed it through WP interface and also through FTP same result see link
I installed it through WP interface and also through FTP same result see link
Most likely your server doesn't want to process and load in browser the .css.php file. There's a test file in the plugin dir to check that.
wooow thx can you pls tell me more about the test file and how to test it ?
look for the test file in the plugin's dir and load it in your browser
how ?
when I make the whole rout ...
:( didnt worked is there another way ?
I know that maybe its a bad question but can you help me pls ?
Man, you look for a test file in the plugin's directory. Oh, look, there's a test.html in the /inc subdir, that's probably it, don't you think? So you load http://yoursite/wp-content/plugins/ozh-admin-drop-down-menu/inc/test.html just as explained in the plugin's page on my site.
Load this file in your browser (http://yoursite/wp-content/plugins/ozh-admin-drop-down-menu/inc/test.html)
If you see anything but CSS code below, your problem is that your server disables PHP files execution when found in wp-content directory. It's either done by a .htaccess rule you made, a plugin you uploaded, or sever configuration. In case 1 or 2, you're on your own. In case 3, contact your server admin. In any case: this server limitation is totally useless regarding hacks and stuff. Just thought I'd let you know.
ok sorry for stupid qustion
this answer means that I shoud contact my prowider :)
thx I am reporting this issue
Got exactly the same issue. If I try to run the test.html file via ftp, i get this:
If I try to run it via http, i get "Nothing found" error:
What can I do? I don't even know where to start :(
http://nicolozarotti.com/wp-content/plugins/ozh-admin-drop-down-menu/inc/test.html is perfectly found
You're mixing up physical path as seen in FTP (blah/public_html/dir/blah) with URL.
Thanks alot! How can I solve the htacess issue, so? I'm still learning everything on my own.
However, the CSS issue is not showing constantly: if I activate the plugin sometimes pages are shown normally and sometimes they are not.

David v. Goliath battle continues in appeals court.
Verisign has filed its opening brief (pdf) with the U.S. Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit, in its dispute with new top level domain name company XYZ.
In October 2015, a federal district judge dismissed Verisign's lawsuit against the operator of the .xyz domain name. Verisign subsequently appealed.
Verisign argues that the district judge misapplied the standards for summary judgment and misinterpreted statements of fact. Click here to continue reading…

Jet Jeans
Kim Kardashian in JET Skinny Jeans in Black
Kim Kardashian was spotted somewhere that we haven't written about in a while, the nail salon. She wore a pair of jeans from a brand that we also haven't seen her wear in a while, a pair of JET. She chose their Skinny in Black with a Givenchy heels for the pampering session.
I am a bit on the border on Kim's new style. I like that she is dressing less contrived, but I do miss her more put together, almost "Barbie Doll" looks. One thing I can say I don't miss is the face full of make-up. She looks tons better without it. You can click here to purchase these jeans at SINGER22 for $154.
DenimBlog Exclusive: Top 13 Denim Choices by Stylist Monica Rose
We caught up with top fashion stylist, Monica Rose, to ask what her favorite denim choices are for this season. She chose a range of styles that will fancy anyone's taste.

It looks like Ashley Tisdale found one of her old loves in the back of her closet! Her acid wash JET Jeans! She wore them as she posed for photos at the Puma launch of Project Pink, which is an initiative to fight breast cancer, at Macys in New York.
Ashley chose to pair her jeans with her old Christian Louboutin Treopli booties and a Project Pink top. When we used to spot Ashley out and about in these jeans, she would always wear them with these shoes, so it's nice to see her wearing this outfit again! I have always liked it. The combination of the nude and grey goes really well together.

Khloe Kardashian in a JET Sweatshirt Jean Jacket
Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom were seen arriving at LAX after spending some time in New York City. Khloe wore a maxi dress and JET's sweatshirt jean jacket.
Jean jackets have been a huge trend this season and there have also been a lot of mixed material styles, such as denim bodies and leather arms. While overall I'm a fan of the style, I'm not too crazy about this jacket on Khloe, I think it looks a bit too small and isn't the most flattering look on her. I do think it'd be very comfortable for travel though! You can buy this jacket from Boutiquetoyou.com for $216.

Hell in An Loc: The 1972 Easter Invasion and the Battle That Saved South Viet Namby Lam Quang Thi
View All Available Formats & Editions
In 1972 a North Vietnamese offensive of more than 30,000 men and 100 tanks smashed into South Vietnam and raced to capture Saigon. All that stood in their way was a small band of 6,800 South Vietnamese (ARVN) soldiers and militiamen, and a handful of American advisors with U.S. air support, guarding An Loc, a town sixty miles north of Saigon and on the main highway to it. This depleted army, outnumbered and outgunned, stood its ground and fought to the end and succeeded. Thi believes that it is time to set the record straight. Without denying the tremendous contribution of the U.S. advisors and pilots, this book is written primarily to tell the South Vietnamese side of the story.
"Thi's book is a unique work, written by a participant in the war, from a fresh historical vantage point, utilizing new evidence. Hell in An Loc will be a powerful addition to the historiography of the Vietnam conflict."-Andrew Wiest, author of Vietnam's Forgotten Army: Heroism and Betrayal in the ARVN
"General Thi has brought his unique perspective as a Vietnamese citizen and as a South Vietnamese officer to an important battle of the Vietnam War. The value of this book is its operational detail about the South Vietnamese, which surpasses any of the accounts in print up to this point."-Dale Andrade, author of America's Last Vietnam Battle
"General Lam Quang Thi's long overdue second book provides crucial missing perspectives from America's longest allies on the battlefield, those from South Vietnam. Perhaps more importantly, his work documents the South Vietnamese military's valiant efforts in the largest battle of the Vietnam War, which have been omitted by the American media, military, and in the movies."-Quang X. Pham, author of A Sense of Duty: My Father, My American Journey
"A meticulous account created specifically to set the historical record straight, Hell in An Loc is highly recommended."-Midwest Book Review

Chapter OneThe Sieges of the Indochina Wars
In Valley of Decision, John Prados and Ray W. Stubbe reported that at the height of the siege of Khe Sanh, in February 1968, Gen. William C. Westmoreland asked Col. Reamer W. Argo, command historian, to make a study comparing Khe Sanh with past sieges and to recommend a course of action for the embattled garrison. Argo and his team found that of the fifteen sieges identified during the twentieth century, defenders resisted successfully only in two instances: the Russians at Leningrad (1941–1944) and the Americans at Bastogne (1944).
If asked about the successful sieges in the military history of Viet Nam, it is doubtful that the command historian would know that toward the end of the eighteenth century, at the port of Quy Nhon, 280 miles southeast of Khe Sanh, Gen. Vo Tanh, on orders from Emperor Nguyen Anh, held out for two years (from 1779 to 1801) against the Grand Army of Tay Son, preventing the latter from linking up with its navy in order to launch a coordinated attack on the cities of Phan Thiet and Gia Dinh in the south. The heroic stand of Vo Tanh also allowed Emperor Nguyen Anh's army to bypass the siege of Quy Nhon to capture Hue on February 2, 1801, and eventually unify the country under the Nguyens' rule.
Of course, Colonel Argo couldn't predict that four years after his presentation, history would record another siege where the defenders resisted successfully: the South Vietnamese at An Loc (1972).
To study the battle of An Loc it is necessary to compare it with other important sieges of the Indochina Wars. The description of the battle of Dien Bien Phu, in particular, would allow for a comparative study with An Loc, not only in terms of strength, terrain, tactics, and fire support, but also in terms of leadership traits of the respective commanders. On the other hand, the study of the siege of Khe Sanh and its subsequent abandonment amid growing concerns about a repeat of Dien Bien Phu would help explain why the NVA was able to move supplies and men into the battlefields in South Viet Nam in the late 1960s, and build up its forces in the run-up to their 1972 offensive in Binh Long province in MRIII.
A brief review of major political and military developments in 1949–1951 will help us understand French defense strategy in North Viet Nam and its decision to establish the fortified bases of Nasan and Dien Bien Phu in 1952 and 1953 respectively.
In October 1949, Mao Tse-tung took over China and since there was no controlled border between China and Viet Nam, the Viet Minh (VM) started to receive increased military aid directly from the Chinese Communist regime, which transferred to them modern, U.S.-supplied weaponry captured from Chang Kai-shek's defeated Nationalist Army, including artillery guns.
With increased military aid from the Communist bloc, the Viet Minh was able to form three regular divisions (304th, 308th, and 312th) in 1950, by incorporating their independent regiments in North Viet Nam and in the northern part of Central Viet Nam. To counter-balance the massive Chinese aid to the Viet Minh, Mr. Dean Acheson, U.S. Secretary of State, recommended military assistance to the French forces in Indochina and called for the creation of a Vietnamese National Army in early 1950; the first military equipment began to arrive in October the same year.
In October 1950, under pressure, the French decided to abandon the border garrison of Cao Bang. The French rescuing columns—consisting of four battalions of Legionnaires, paratroopers and Moroccan Tirailleurs—progressing on Route Coloniale (RC) 4 were ambushed by the VM 308th Division and 209th Regiment. Many units were completely wiped out and the survivors had to abandon their wounded and disperse in small units through the dense forests bordering RC4. The French suffered over 7,000 casualties during the withdrawal operation. The French also lost 13 105mm howitzers, 125 mortars, 480 military vehicles, 3 armored platoons, 940 machineguns and over 8,000 rifles (these losses included weapons that were in storage).
It was estimated the above losses could be used to equip two VM divisions. Stunned by the Cao Bang disaster, the French decided to abandon Lang Son. In Lang Son, the French left 1,300 tons of ammunition and other military supplies they didn't have time to destroy.
To exploit their victories at Cao Bang and Lang Son, in January 1951 the Viet Minh launched a daring attack on Vinh Yen, just twenty-five miles west of Hanoi with the 308th and 312th Divisions, but Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap's first attempt at conventional warfare was defeated by the timely reinforcement of the battlefield by Gen. Jean De Lattre de Tassigny, the new Commander-in-Chief of French forces in Indochina and the use for the first time in Viet Nam of napalm bombs supplied by the United States. The Viet Minh suffered 6,000 casualties and 500 prisoners were captured. The French losses were about half those of the Viet Minh.
Nasan (November–December 1952)
In October 1952, Gen. Raoul Salan, who had replaced Gen. De Lattre de Tassigny—diagnosed with inoperable cancer the previous year—launched Operation Lorraine aimed at diverting Viet Minh forces from the Red River Delta and cutting the enemy rear lines of communications in the strategic Thai Highlands near the Laotian border. But Vo Nguyen Giap refused to engage the French forces and Lorraine was forced to withdraw without achieving its goals.
To thwart the Viet Minh's threat to the Thai Highlands and North-Laos, General Salan took advantage of Lorraine to establish in November 1952 a fortified base at Nasan, approximately 120 miles west of Hanoi. Salan believed that it was too dangerous to venture on narrow and tortuous roads through the forested mountains of the Thai country and that the best way to fight the Viet Minh there was to rely instead on strong bases built around an airstrip in selected strategic areas. The new concept of the "air-ground base"—a term coined by Martin Windrow, an Associate of the Royal Historical Society in Great Britain—would allow the French to establish a presence in the Thai country, to reinforce and resupply the garrison by air and to destroy the attacking forces with superior artillery fire and air power.
Nasan is a two-kilometer-long and one-kilometer-wide valley surrounded by small rolling hills. It had an airstrip that could accommodate transportation aircraft in use in the French Army at the time. Salan occupied Nasan with three paratroop battalions, five infantry battalions, one engineer battalion, and one armored reconnaissance company. The defending units included the newly formed 31st VN Groupement Mobile (GM) consisting of two infantry battalions and one artillery battalion. The Nasan garrison was commanded by Colonel Gilles, the paratroop commander.
In installing the fortified Nasan base, Salan wanted to achieve three goals: a) to assemble the small garrisons located in the northwest and southeast of Nasan and to save them from being overrun by the Viet Minh; b) to thwart the enemy's attempt to take over the Thai Highlands; and c) to induce the enemy to attack and to destroy their regular forces by artillery and air power.
True to Salan's expectations, the Viet Minh began to launch probing attacks on the night of November 23. During the nights of November 30 and December 1, the Viet Minh attacked in force and succeeded in capturing two outer strongpoints. The latter were retaken by counter-attacks by the units from the inner ring of defensive positions. At one point, the French had to drop paratroopers on the top of one of the hills captured by the Viet Minh to attack downhill and destroy the enemy in their bunkers. The Vietnamese artillery battalion from the 31st VN GM inflicted heavy casualties on the attackers during two days of fighting. Due to the lack of enemy artillery and anti-aircraft, the French Air force was able to maintain supply and casualty evacuation flights.
The French reported the Viet Minh suffered 5,000 losses during the battle of Nasan. The French losses were modest and the "air-ground base" concept had subsequently gained acceptance within French military circles. Colonel Gilles, commander of the troops in Nasan, was elevated to brigadier-general for his successful defense of the fortified base.
Dien Bien Phu (November 1953–May 1954)
In May 1953, Gen. Henri Navarre assumed command of the French forces in Indochina. Convinced of the effectiveness of the "air-ground base"concept—which had been hailed as a great success in Nasan the previous year—Navarre decided to install a bigger camp retranché at Dien Bien Phu, a densely populated Thai village located near the Laotian border, approximately 300 kilometers west of Hanoi and 180 kilometers northeast of Luang Prabang, the royal capital of Laos.
Dien Bien Phu is a long valley traversed by the Nam Youm River and surrounded by a ring of mountains located at a distance of ten to twelve kilometers from the center of the camp retranché. The garrison itself held a perimeter of approximately sixteen by nine kilometers. General Navarre believed that the Dien Bien Phu camp would be out of range of enemy artillery if they positioned their batteries on the other side of the mountains. And if they put their batteries on the slopes facing the base, they would be easy targets for French artillery and warplanes.
According to Navarre, a fortified "air-ground base" at the heart of the Thai country would help achieve the following objectives: a) to force the Viet Minh to accept a bataille rangée in which the French had superiority in firepower and supply; b) to prevent the Viet Minh from reinforcing the coastal regions of Central Viet Nam that the French planned to pacify; c) to establish a barrier to interdict VM forces from attacking North-Laos; and d) to use Dien Bien Phu as a springboard to attack the enemy's rear in case the latter renewed their offensive on the Red River Delta.
In November 1953, the French launched Operation Castor to reoccupy Dien Bien Phu, which had been lost to the Viet Minh in November the previous year. On November 11, General Gilles and three French paratroop battalions were dropped into the valley of Dien Bien Phu. They met only scattered resistance from VM local units. After the successful air drop and the occupation of Dien Bien Phu, General Gilles was replaced by Colonel De Castries, an armor officer with extensive combat experience.
Dien Bien Phu was a complex of multi-strongpoints consisting of three distinct sectors:
—The central sector with five strongpoints (Anne Marie, Huguette, Claudine, Eliane, and Dominique) surrounding the airstrip.
—The northern sector consisting of two strongpoints (Beatrice and Gabrielle) established on two hills overlooking the valley.
—Strongpoint Isabelle, located six kilometers south of the central sector; adjacent to this strongpoint was an old airstrip that was out of service.
In March 1954, at the beginning of the major attack, the Dien Bien Phu camp had twelve infantry battalions (including the 5th VN Airborne Battalion). The artillery units supporting Dien Bien Phu consisted of 24 105mm howitzers, 4 155mm howitzers and 22 120mm mortars.
The French also had one armored company (-) at Dien Bien Phu with ten M-24 tanks. In addition, six Bearcat fighters and ten light observation aircraft were available at Dien Bien Phu for tactical air support and reconnaissance.
To prepare for the attack, from mid-December 1953 to the end of January 1954, Giap engaged the 308th and 312th Divisions, three regiments from the 316th and 304th Divisions, and one independent regiment. The attacking forces were supported by 36 105mm howitzers, 15 75mm guns, 20 120mm mortars and 36 37mm anti-aircraft guns from the 351st Artillery Division. The attacking force, including supporting units, was estimated at about 30,000 men, not counting over 30,000 civilian laborers responsible for repairing roads and carrying ammunition and supplies to the front.
The Viet Minh attacked the northern strongpoints in force on March 13. Elements of the 308th Division and 312th Divisions, supported by powerful artillery preparations, quickly overran strongpoint Beatrice with repeated human-wave assaults. Gabrielle offered furious resistance but was overrun on March 15. The French were completely taken by surprise by the effectiveness of the enemy direct artillery fire from their batteries well bunkered on the hill slopes facing Dien Bien Phu. The constant shelling of the airfield by the VM artillery and anti-aircraft fire made its use precarious from the beginning of the attack. The airfield was completely closed on March 28, limiting resupply and reinforcement by air drops into the steadily shrinking perimeter. Worse, the Thai units, frightened by the deadly enemy shelling, began to desert en masse after the first attacks, causing the French to reorganize their defense system and to reduce further the perimeter.
The Viet Minh launched a new attack during the night of March 30. Elements of the 312th Division and 316th Division succeeded in capturing parts of strongpoints Eliane and Dominique in the central sector after furious had-to-hand combat. The piecemeal reinforcement by nightly airdrops of paratroopers was used mainly to replace casualties and the lack of reserves prevented the French from mounting any significant counter-attack to recapture the lost positions.
After April 7, the situation became relatively calm and the Viet Minh took advantage of that respite to dig new trenches deep into French positions. To encourage and show support for the garrison, the French government decided to elevate all defenders to the next higher rank. De Castries was made a brigadier-general, and his new rank insignia had to be airdropped into the camp.
The final assault began on May 6. The Viet Minh overran the remaining positions on Eliane immediately east of the central sector. In the southwest, the defense of Claudine collapsed after repeated enemy human-wave assaults. On the morning of May 7, the Viet Minh attacked the last French positions around General De Castries' command post. De Castries knew the situation was hopeless; he asked Hanoi for permission to surrender to save what was left of the battered garrison. Hanoi agreed to let him act according to the circumstances. Dien Bien Phu surrendered to the enemy at 5:00 p.m. the same day.
French losses were 8,221, including 1,571 killed; 11,721 were made prisoners. According to a French document, the Viet Minh losses amounted to 9,500 killed.
The Dien Bien Phu disaster marked the end of the French presence in Indochina and sparked a chain of political events leading to the involvement of the United States in this part of the world, in compliance with its post-World War II "containment" policy. Under this concept, the U.S. objective was to "contain" Communist expansion in South East Asia by supporting a non-Communist government in South Viet Nam.
General Navarre, the commander of French forces in Indochina, was relieved of his command on June 4; the French government fell on June 12. The new French Prime Minister Mendes-France promised to achieve a cease-fire within one month. Peace talks, instigated by the French government during the battle of Dien Bien Phu, had begun at Geneva on May 8. The Geneva Accords were signed in July. The agreement stipulated that Viet Nam would be partitioned at the 17th parallel and a general election would be held in two years, in 1956. Mr. Ngo Dinh Diem, back from exile in the United States, was appointed prime minister of the post-war government in the South. On October 23, 1955, Mr. Diem, having consolidated his political power, organized a national referendum, which resulted in the overthrow of Emperor Bao Dai and the formation of the First Republic. Mr. Diem, the new President of South Viet Nam, renounced the Geneva Accords.
One of the reasons—often ignored—of the French defeat in Indochina was the lack of unity of purpose among the participants. While the United States, which provided military aid to the French forces, was counting on the French to fight a proxy war to thwart Communist expansion in South East Asia, the French were pursuing their own interests in their former colonies. In the meantime, the Vietnamese, Cambodians, and Laotians—who were fighting with the French against Communist domination—also fought for the ultimate political liberation of their countries from French colonial rule. Thus, France, to the very end, had failed to spell out clearly her objectives in Indochina, and to build a consensus for the prosecution of a controversial and unpopular war.
Another cause of the failure of French policy in Indochina, in my opinion, was France's opposition to any progressive and orderly development of the States of Indochina toward true independence in concert with the emergence of genuine nationalist governments and, more importantly, the early creation of strong national armies.

Now that I can display the full size image by default, I don't really need a link back to the "original" picture.
BTW - This Gallery Plugin is great! It uses the wp gallery option and makes it very quick and easy to upload multiple pictures into a post. You don't have to individually select images if you want to use the "FULL" size picture.

I have a LKM module which creates a proc entry using create_proc_entry(). I have to send some complex data (I am thinking of a structure) from user space program and store it in the /proc entry so that the LKM can receive it.
Right now, I am puzzled on how to convert structure data into buffered output using something like fwrite() because the callback for write from user space to /proc entry has the data argument in form of a buffer.
// fwrite prototype
size_t fwrite ( const void * ptr, size_t size, size_t count, FILE * stream );
// user space write to /proc entry call back prototype
int mod_write( struct file *filp, const char __user *buff,
unsigned long len, void *data );
Any suggestions ?

Gene J. Puskar, Associated Press
BELLEFONTE, Pa. — A lawyer for a former Penn State assistant football coach accused of molesting boys said Tuesday he didn't mean to refer to a gay sex phone line when he said anyone who believes university officials thought his client raped a 10-year-old boy and did little about it should call 1-800-REALITY.
The phrase is one attorney Joseph Amendola says he has used for years to mean "get a life," but the phone number is that of a sex line for gay and bi-curious men.
Amendola's quip came Tuesday after his client Jerry Sandusky stunned a packed courtroom and backed out of a preliminary hearing at the last minute, avoiding a face-to-face confrontation with accusers who the lawyer said were just trying to cash in by making up stories of child sex abuse. The remark outraged some of the accusers and advocates for victims of abuse and created a huge stir online.
Amendola, during his lengthy comments to reporters outside the courthouse, said that if former Penn State graduate assistant Mike McQueary had witnessed a 10-year-old boy being sexually assaulted in a campus shower and had told the head football coach, the athletic director, a university vice president and the university president and "their response was simply to tell Jerry Sandusky that 'Don't go into the shower anymore with kids,' I suggest you dial 1-800-REALITY because that makes absolutely no sense."
He later said he has been using the remark "when people have said things that make no sense."
"It's analogous to 'get a life,'" he said. "I had no idea that was a real number, let alone what it actually is. I will not be using that line in the future!"
Earlier, Sandusky, who has acknowledged showering with boys but says he never molested them and has pleaded not guilty, vowed to "stay the course, to fight for four quarters."
Amendola then took the defense to the courthouse steps and spoke before dozens of news cameras for an hour, saying some of the 10 men who accuse Sandusky of molesting them as children were only out to profit from civil lawsuits against his client and the university.
A prosecutor said about 11 witnesses, most of them who claim to be victims, were ready to testify at the hearing.
An attorney for one called Sandusky a "coward" for not hearing his accusers' testimony and derided the arguments that they were out for money, saying many were too old to sue Sandusky under Pennsylvania's statute of limitations.
"It makes my blood boil," said Harrisburg lawyer Ben Andreozzi, who read a statement by his client, identified in a grand jury report as Victim 4, who was said to have become a fixture in the Sandusky household. "All the money in the world isn't going to bring them back to where they were before the sexual assaults."
Sandusky faces 52 criminal counts for what a grand jury called a series of sexual assaults and abuse of 10 boys dating back to the 1990s, in hotel swimming pools, in the basement of his home in State College, where the university is based, and in the locker room showers at the university, where he coached football until his retirement in 1999.
The charges devastated the university and its storied football program and led to the departures of coach Joe Paterno and the university's president and charges against the athletic director and the vice president, who are accused of lying to a grand jury and failing to report the abuse allegations.
Amendola told reporters Tuesday that Sandusky, 67, is an emotional, physical man — "a loving guy, an affectionate guy" — who never did anything illegal. He likened Sandusky's behavior to his own Italian family in which "everybody hugged and kissed each other."
The lawyer claimed the accusers were seeking to cash in through false accusations and said the preliminary hearing would not have allowed him to delve into the witnesses' credibility.

FRUGAL TRAVELER; Peeling the Layers of History in Berlin
By DAISANN McLANE
Published: February 4, 2001
MY plane landed smoothly at Tegel Airport in Berlin, but I didn't. Emerging from the gate with the other passengers, I soon found myself in the airport's main terminal. But what about immigration? I walked on, a bit nervously, eyes peeled for the official checkpoint I must have missed. Surely some security guard would notice me and steer me in the right direction before I did something illegal.
But no one approached. Finally, I spotted an information desk and went over to ask where I should present my passport.
''No problem,'' said the clerk. ''You came in on the flight from Amsterdam? You don't need to show your passport.''
Once you enter the European Union, as I had in Amsterdam the previous week, you can travel freely among its member nations without formalities. And some part of me did know this. But I spent my early childhood watching the cold war on TV, and I had memories, grainy, in gray and white: Khrushchev, pounding his shoe on a table at the United Nations, and John F. Kennedy proclaiming, ''Ich bin ein Berliner.''
The child of the cold war, arriving for the first time in one of that era's hot-button capitals, was incredulous that she could stroll into Berlin straight off the plane. The adult traveler, on the other hand, was pleased there was an airport bus at curbside, which, for about $1.85, at 2.15 marks to the dollar, transported her to the center of town, two blocks from her hotel, in only 20 minutes.
I spent four days and nights in Berlin in early December, taking advantage of low-season air fares that got me a round trip from J.F.K. in New York with a stop in Amsterdam, for only $402. Normally, Berlin is a much more expensive ticket, because there is no direct flight from the United States (a situation that will change next month when Lufthansa inaugurates nonstops from Dulles Airport outside Washington). Like so many of Berlin's quirks, the logistical difficulty in getting there from North America is a cold war legacy. Because it was divided between the West and the Soviet bloc for more than 40 years, Berlin doesn't have a single huge airport -- instead, it has three modest-sized ones, including Tegel, the hub for most commercial flights within Western Europe.
Four days and nights was not enough time to peel the layers of a city that I found completely absorbing, like a history book or a complex novel that one couldn't put down. Since the Berlin Wall came down more than 10 years ago, the city has undergone an enormous transformation as, reunited, it takes its place once again as Germany's capital city. And there's more to come, as evidenced by the Berlin skyline's most dramatic feature: a bumper crop of spiky steel construction cranes stretching as far as you can see.
The usual sightseeing routine in other European capitals is to visit museums by day, then recover from art and culture overload by, perhaps, sitting in a cafe, or strolling along a charming street in some quaint quarter. While Berlin has some terrific museums, it is no museum piece. History spills into the streets here, dramatically and sometimes unsettlingly. A short walk in Berlin can take you past pompous Nazi-era buildings, or sleek modernist apartments designed by Bauhaus architects, through blocks still bullet scarred from World War II into glittery -- some would say tasteless -- steel-and-glass shopping complexes.
There is an English-language map of the city called ''Walk the Wall,'' on sale at most newsstands for $2, that superimposes the outline of the former Wall on contemporary Berlin, and details suggested self-guided tours. Cynically, I applauded the clever Berlin entrepreneur who'd probably made a small fortune from American tourists with this map. And then I bought one.
Map in hand, I forged through changing neighborhoods in the former East and West. My wheels spinning, I kept it up until my legs gave out. (A word of warning: Berlin is a city of sprawling neighborhoods, like London, and the walking distances between U-Bahn stops and notable sites is often 15 minutes or more.) By 7 or 8 p.m., I was usually ready to collapse. But my Berlin collapses were stylish ones, cushioned by fluffy comforters and nice cotton sheets.
Among the city's many changes is one that's good news for the budget traveler. The boom in real estate in the former Eastern section has encouraged small, inexpensive and offbeat hotels in the $60-to-$100 range. Neither of the places I stayed in, the Sorat Art'otel or the Künstlerheim Luise, existed in their current form five years ago.
Both caught my interest because each is part of a novel hotel concept, flourishing in Berlin, called the art hotel. On the Internet and in guidebooks I found several listings for art hotels, so called because they feature rooms and common areas designed by local artists. The concept was handled differently in the two I was able to sample: the Sorat Art'otel used a single artist's designs in all the rooms, while each of Künstlerheim Luise's 30 rooms is a commission from a different artist. However, in both cases I retired each evening to personality-filled chambers in which I was surrounded by (in one case, literally embedded in) original artwork. This European city is worth a visit for the art hotel experience alone.

YONKERS, N.Y. (April 9, 2013)--A 5-week-old kitten named Precious survived after it was tossed out a suburban New York third-floor window during a domestic dispute.
Westchester County SPCA enforcement director Ernest Lungaro said the 1-pound female kitten suffered a mouth injury but no broken bones after landing on all fours.
He said the kitten was thrown from the window in a Yonkers apartment building on Sunday and hit the sidewalk.
At the time, the kitten's owner was having a dispute with her ex-boyfriend.
Lungaro says the man fled.
A warrant was issued for him, charging assault and animal abuse.
Lungaro said Tuesday he has seen many instances of animal cruelty during domestic violence.
The fuzzy, white kitten with brown and black markings was returned to her owner.

Directors Sarah Burns and David McMahon on The Central Park Five
Over the past decade, Ken Burns has become a polarizing figure in the documentary field, even as his PBS series have reached more viewers than any American documentarian besides Michael Moore. For many, his work has settled into a cozy formal conservatism, epitomized by his narration and zooms into photos. His latest film, The Central Park Five (co-directed by his daughter Sarah and David McMahon), pushes him outside his comfort zone. While slickly made, it relies mostly on the intensity of its interviews, atmopsheric cinematography and well-edited archival footage to get its powerful story across. Based on Sarah's book of the same name, it tells the story of the five teenage boys who were falsely accused and convicted of raping a woman in Central Park in 1989. The film exposes a tabloid media and police that were all too ready to demonize poor people of color. While the Central Park Five's convictions were eventually reversed after the real rapist stepped forward, there's no happy ending to The Central Park Five. The men's lawsuit against the city remains unresolved, and the film itself has become a part of it, as the city has subpoenaed the filmmakers for access to their outtakes to use in its defense. Studio Daily talked with McMahon and Sarah Burns about these issues and more.

Studio Daily: The Central Park Five abandons a lot of the stylistic trademarks of Ken Burns' usual work. What inspired you to drop them?
David McMahon: We hadn't set out to set aside the conventions that have served Ken well over the years, but we were open to the possibility that we could make a two-hour film that could be suited to theatrical release. When we first interviewed the Five, they had such a command over their own stories that we thought we could get out of the way and let them tell their stories. Often, Ken's subjects, like Abraham Lincoln, Jackie Robinson or Louis Armstrong, aren't around to tell the story. We had this great luxury of being able to hear the story directly and being able to fill it in with other interview subjects, like lawyers and journalists. Often, Ken takes advantage of photographs by panning or zooming across them. We had an embarrassment of riches with archival footage of the '80s. We had a great, choppy rhythm. We didn't need to turn to photos. The stylistic departures came together organically.
Studio Daily: Sarah, when you were working on your book, did you ever think about turning it into a film?
Sarah Burns: Yes. It was pretty early on in the book process that all three of us realized we wanted to turn it into a film. The film allowed us to show the New York of the '80s and to interview the Five and show them through their own words. As much coverage as they got, no one had ever really asked them to tell their own story. It seemed ripe for telling in this way. It would help us have a larger conversation about some of these issues.
Studio Daily: How were you able to get the rights to get the confession videos [in which the Five offer false confessions, shot by police surveillance cameras, to the rape]?
Burns: They had been released to the media. They're everywhere.
McMahon: At various archives, we found several versions. If you look back at news coverage from the time, you'll see snippets of the confessions, only days after they were recorded. They've been out there forever.
Studio Daily: But you couldn't get the NYPD to talk to you?
McMahon: During the book process, Sarah tried to talk to police and prosecutors. They all hid behind this idea that because they were named in this ongoing civil rights suit, they couldn't talk. We do feel that their perspective is represented in the film. The narrative they created is laid out in the film. That was one of the great challenges. How do we represent their side when they won't talk to us? We also had to take into consideration that their theories often weren't based in fact. Also, the confessions were in some cases the product of 30 hours of interrogations. These seasoned detectives worked to get a script that they could take to a prosecutor. We only have the final product and the memories of the Five. What happened to them was imprinted very heavily because it's such a shocking thing to happen to a teenager.
Studio Daily: How closely did you work with your editor in shaping the material?
Burns: Very closely. Our editor, Michael Levine, was a hugely important part of our creative process. A lot of the pacing, particularly in the introductory sections, is the result of his ideas about how to put us in that place.
McMahon: He worked with Ken on Baseball. He has a very long list of great films on his resume, including a lot of cinema verité, where directors gave him hours of footage and asked him to shape it. We thought he'd be good for this because he was coming from outside our shop and might bring his ideas about working outside the usual Ken Burns style.
Studio Daily: The Central Park Five are remarkably frank. Was there anything they didn't what to talk about or anything you felt uncomfortable about including?
Burns: They were all pretty ready to open up and talk about this. Through the process of working on my book, I'd been talking to them for years. They were amazingly open about telling their stories. I think there are details they leave out. For example, when we ask Kory {Wise, one of the Five} about going to prison, one can only imagine what we went through and I don't think he's quite prepared to talk about it. He talks about what happened and he mentions "the jumping, the stabbing." You get a sense of what he went through even though he doesn't go into a lot of detail. I think that's one place where it may have been too difficult to tell us exactly what happened. For the most part, they were very generous with their stories.
Studio Daily: Did you choose the music selections? I thought your use of hip-hop in the montage of '80s New York was quite well-done.
McMahon: Ken has always used popular music of the era. We wanted to have an edgy feel to it and use music that would transport people back to that time. Also, the rhythm of hip-hop allowed for a different style of cutting. It helps the pacing. All the music that appears in the film is from East Coast artists. For some of the Five, it was the soundtrack of their lives. It felt right, and Michael deployed it well.
Studio Daily: Do you think the tragedy of the Central Park Five is tied to a particular time and place or could it have happened anywhere in the U.S.?
McMahon: Yes, and yes!
Burns: I think this case and the way we look at it has a lot to do with New York in the '80s. Something just like it could happen today, though. The underlying suspicion of young people of color can be seen in the Trayvon Martin case and the stop and frisk policies in New York.
Studio Daily: What was really noteworthy for me was seeing all these tabloid headlines basically writing the Central Park Five out of the human race. Even today, the New York Post writes about murderers or rapists as if they're not human. Most of the time, they're talking about genuinely horrible people, but in the case of the Central Park Five, they turned out to be innocent.
Burns: The coverage at the time was completely dehumanizing. You'd think the media would have learned, but I don't think they have. When my book came out, the Post published an excerpt from it about Matias Reyes {the actual rapist of the Central Park jogger} but they ran a photo of the Central Park Five and captioned it by calling them hoodlums. It doesn't stop. Jumping to the most salacious conclusions without worrying about the consequences if you're wrong still goes on.
McMahon: If you look at the way lynchings were covered in the early 20th century, that same language is present. It's present in overage of Emmett Till. It goes beyond just the media. There were some assaults in Times Square a few years ago, and Michael Bloomberg referred to them as a "wilding," which is a word that comes out of the Central Park jogger case. We now know that it was done by a serial rapist acting on his own, but the language is so convenient that our mayor uses it to describe the actions of teenagers of color.

Studio Daily: Can you talk about the film's current legal situation?
McMahon: Our lawyer issued a motion to quash the subpoena a few days ago. We'll wait for a response from the city. We feel that we're protected by reporters' privilege and shouldn't have to turn over any of our material.
Studio Daily: How did you divide the labor [as co-directors]?
Burns: We divided the interviews up fairly evenly. The research was mostly in our hands. The film's creative decisions were mostly made in the editing room. There, we figured out what fits and where the pieces go.
Studio Daily: Did working as a trio of directors ever present difficulties?
Burns: No, it was surprisingly smooth. Most of the time we found ourselves agreeing about things in the editing room. Because there were three of us, there was a sense of democracy, where if two people agreed, the third could say "Okay, let's go with that." It actually was a good system for us.
The Central Park Five [official site], a Sundance Selects release, opens theatrically this Friday. It will be available on demand beginning December 7.

'Cautious Optimism' Over Cancer Vaccine
April 14, 2008 (San Diego) -- Vaccines that rev up the immune system to seek out and destroy tumor cells are showing promise for the treatment of cervical and breast cancer.
One vaccine significantly cut deaths in women with an aggressive type of breast cancer. A second vaccine curbed or stopped the growth of tumors in women with cervical cancer.
Cancer Videos
Related Slideshows
Unlike the vaccine that helps prevent cervical cancer in healthy women, these vaccines are designed to help people who already have cancer.
Tumor cells often grow and spread because the body doesn't recognize them as foreign. The vaccines aim to re-educate the immune system to recognize cancer cells as alien invaders that need to be attacked and annihilated.
Both studies were presented here at the annual meeting for the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR).
Vaccine Targets HER2/neu
The breast cancer vaccine targets a protein called HER2/neu that is associated with aggressive tumors. In high amounts, the protein speeds up tumor growth and the risk of death.
About 25% of women with breast cancer fall into this category. In the new study, the vaccine reduced their risk of death by 50%.
Importantly, the vaccine worked even better in women who had lower but still elevated levels of HER2/neu, says researcher Linda C. Benavides, MD, of Brooke Army Medical Center in San Diego.
None of the women in this category -- which accounts for about half of breast cancer patients -- died.
If the vaccine pans out in future study, "we'll have an option for the largest subset of breast cancer patients, who really haven't been considered before," Benavides tells WebMD.
She notes that women with high expression of Her2/neu can benefit from targeted therapies, such as Herceptin. But the only options for women with lower expression are conventional chemo, surgery, or radiation, she says.
Breast Cancer Vaccine Cuts Deaths
The study involved 165 women, about one-third of whom had high levels of HER2/neu. The rest had lower or intermediate levels.
All the women had been treated for breast cancer but were disease-free at the time of the study.

StoryCorps and NPR Celebrate Veteran Voices on National Day of Listening
For those wanting an alternative way to spend Black Friday, consider doing something that might seem a rather old-fashioned in our rather modern world: sit down with your family or loved one and just talk.
Recording Your Conversations
A simple way to record your conversation with a family member, loved one or a veteran is by using equipment you probably already have, like an iPhone, digital recorder, laptop or Skype (perfect for interviewing someone stationed overseas).
Share Your Story
After you finish recording, upload your interview online to StoryCorps' Wall of Listening, where thousands of other interviews will be posted.
In addition to its notoriously commercial roots, the day after Thanksgiving is also widely celebrated as a National Day of Listening, a project launched in 2008 by StoryCorps to encourage people to take a few minutes during the holiday celebrations and record a conversation with a loved one.
Every year, the StoryCorps team comes up with a theme for the day and this year the focus is on the stories of veterans, active duty military and their families.
Here at NPR we have a handful of our own staff who are veterans or have family members with military experience. To celebrate their service, we gathered a few of their stories and photos to share.

Moscow-based International Correspondent Corey Flintoff recollects a gripping story about his uncle's military service in World War II.
My uncle, Ben Flintoff, was a 26-year-old navigator on the planes that flew cargo over the Himalayas into China during World War Two. It was called "flying over the Hump," and it was as dangerous as almost any combat mission of the war.
Ben told stories of following a silvery trail of wreckage over the mountain ridges, where other planes had crashed in bad weather and inaccessible terrain. Over the course of the mission, the allies lost around 600 planes, with nearly 2,000 crew members and passengers.
Ben survived the nearly constant flying, but the horrendous conditions in airstrips and camps along the way nearly killed him.
When he got back to the States, he was down to 110 pounds on a tall man's frame, and he spent months in an Army hospital getting back in shape.
Ben went on to live a long life as a husband and father who worked as a building maintenance man in Tacoma, Washington. He had a lot of good stories about countries he had seen, and a lively interest in the world.
As he neared 90, his memory largely failed. One thing he remembered to the end was hunching in a freezing cockpit among stark mountains, seeing the flash of aluminum where his comrades had gone down.
Holly Fountain, Specialist in the Network Operations Center, shares some of the bonds she made with her fellow comrades while serving in the Marine Corps.
I served in the United States Marine Corps from 1979 to 1983 and my Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) was Communication Center Operations. I started out as circuit operator, and by age 22, I was Comm Watch Officer for my shift, supervising 12 military personnel. I attended communications school in Palms, CA and spent the rest of my enlistment at Camp Lejeune, NC.
It gives me a sense of pride to be the only female Marine in my family, but I would love to see another woman in my family enlist one day. I didn't have a woman's perspective of the Corps when I enlisted, and though it worked out for me, it was hard not having someone to look to as a mentor.
The bonds you make with your fellow comrades run very deep, and I am still in touch with a lot of Marines I served with. I also miss the military's "other duties as assigned." One day, you could be doing your regular job, another day you could be told to prepare to go to the rifle range for two weeks, or some other temporary duty that you didn't expect.
The military showed me the value and importance of teamwork, honor and leadership. I learned how to multi-task and do it well even under intense pressure, and it's made me very adaptable to situations. It never leaves you even after you leave the Corps.
Distribution's Bruce Wahl shares some details about his service and recalls the importance of radio and TV while overseas.
I served in the United States Army from 1968 to 1971. After completing Infantry Officers' Candidates School (OCS) at Ft. Benning, Georgia, and receiving a commission as a Second Lieutenant in the Infantry, I served the next six months as a Training Officer at a Basic Training Company at Ft. Jackson, South Carolina. In December 1969, I was shipped to Vietnam, where I was assigned to Military Assistance Command Vietnam (MACV). I was a Battalion Training Advisor at the Vietnamese Infantry OCS in Thu Duc until April 1970, when I received orders to an assignment at the American Forces Vietnam Network (AFVN).
I have met fellow veterans who have remarked to me how important the radio and TV services were to them. This is very gratifying, because at times it was difficult to stay on the air. We had to overcome monsoon rains, difficulty in obtaining parts and supplies, not to mention the periodic rocket attacks to our compound. It could be trying at times, but we overcame these obstacles and provided a valuable service to the American and other English-speaking troops.
I think there is one fundamental takeaway from how this experience changed me. While many young people my age were in college, I was in a leadership role in a war zone. I came though this experience stronger, and have held leadership roles ever since. I would not trade this experience for anything, and I am grateful that I had this opportunity. My brother served in Vietnam before me. Both of my grandfathers served in World War II, as did many of my uncles. My father enlisted to serve in WWII, but was not accepted due to a heart murmur. The military was a way of life in my family, and I am proud to have served.
Digital Media's Robert Harris told us about the pride and friendships he gained while in the U.S. Navy.
I served in the US Navy from 1990-2000. During that time I was Electronics Technician Second Class on board USS LaSalle (AGF-3) (based out of Bahrain) during Operation Desert Storm and then on board USS Duluth (LPD-6) during the evacuation of American forces involved in Operation Restore Hope off the coast of Mogadishu, Somalia. Later, I was then selected for appointment to the White House Communications Agency in Washington, D.C., and retrained to serve an Audiovisual Director to President Clinton.
I really came into my own while into the military and learned not only to have pride in my country but pride in myself as well.
I think one of my fondest memories of the military is from my assignment on the USS LaSalle. A few of my closest shipmates (Sean, Paul, Rocky, James, and Andres) and I would go out on liberty in Bahrain and buy an enormous amount of music and go back to the ship, hang out and make 'mixtapes' of our favorite tracks. I still have some of those tapes!
NPR Ombudsman Edward Schumacher-Matos reflects on his years of service in Vietnam.
I was an army lieutenant and combat engineer who served as the engineer advisor on a province advisory team in 1970-71, in Khanh Hoa Province, during the Vietnam War.
We were the "hearts and minds" guys who actually mixed and worked with the Vietnamese. I loved the work and was so drawn to them and to the tragedy of Vietnam that I extended my tour for three months, until finally I figured my luck might run out and it was time for me to go back to my own country.
One of the things I miss most about military life is the sense of duty and giving yourself to something bigger than you. But I am proud that I was able to prove myself as an American through my service. I am an immigrant kid. I joined the army; I was not drafted.
Military Voices on NPR
Starting in December, StoryCorps will also launch its Military Voices Initiative, a project to honor Iraq and Afghanistan veterans. NPR is broadcasting highlights from StoryCorps' initiative as part of a special year-long series, airing once a month on Weekend Edition Saturday.
