Segments The company operates through three segments: Energy & Security Sonar Solutions; Smart Grid Distribution Automation; and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Critical Asset Monitoring & Control. Energy & Security Sonar Solutions segment This segment provides sonar and acoustic related solutions for energy, defense and commercial markets with a focus on underwater site security for strategic energy installations and other advanced acoustic systems and real-time embedded hardware and software development and production through DSIT. DSIT DSIT is a globally-oriented business based in Israel with expertise in sonar and acoustics and development capabilities in the areas of real-time and embedded systems. Based on these capabilities, the company offers a range of sonar and acoustic-related solutions to strategic energy installations, as well as defense and homeland security markets. In addition, based on expertise in fields, such as signal acquisition and processing applications, communication technologies and command, control and communication management, the company provides various solutions to both governmental and commercial customers. Products and Services DSIT's Energy & Security Sonar Solutions activities are focused on two areas – sonar and acoustic solutions for energy and security markets and other real-time and embedded hardware and software development and production. These solutions comprise: AquaShield Diver Detection Sonar (DDS): DSIT has developed a DDS system, the AquaShield, which provides critical coastal and offshore protection of sites through long-range detection, tracking, classification and warning of unauthorized divers and swimmer delivery vehicles (SDVs) for rapid deployment and effective response. The company's AquaShield DDS system is fully automatic and customizable, and requires human intervention only for final decision and response to the threat. The DDS sensors could be integrated with other sensors into a comprehensive command and control (C&C) system to provide a tactical picture both above and below the water for more intelligent evaluation of and effective response to threats. PointShield Portable DDS (PDDS): The PointShield PDDS is a medium range portable DDS aimed at protecting vessels at anchorage and covers restricted areas such as water canals and intakes. The PointShield is a system tailored to meet the needs of customers, whose main concern is portability and flexibility. AquaShield-ER: The AquaShield-ER (extended range) DDS is similar to the company's AquaShield DDS except that it is primarily designed to enable detection, tracking and classification of targets at much longer ranges thus enabling better response time when this is required for operational considerations. Hull Mounted Sonar (HMS) for Surface Ships: DSIT has created sonar building blocks that enable it to offer to customers and shipyards a HMS. Mobile/Portable Acoustic Range (MAR/PAR): The MAR and PAR measures a submarine's or surface vessel's radiated noise, thus enabling navies and shipyards to monitor and control the radiated noise and to silence their submarines and ships. By continuously tracking the measured vessel and transmitting the data to a measurement ship, the MAR system enables real time radiated noise processing, analysis and display. The system also includes a platform database for measurement results management and provides playback and post analysis capability. Generic Sonar Simulator (GSS):

Coast Guard - the often unacknowledged force behind every sailor
by Des Ryan on 30 Dec 2010
California Yacht Club in action .. .
The unseen and often unacknowledged force operating behind almost every yacht that goes to sea is the Coast Guard. You may never see coast guard officers unless you have a problem, but at the back of your mind you know they're simply a radio call away.
So it's great to hear them being acknowledged, their heroic acts, money raising activities for volunteers, or, as the California Yacht Club has done, when they are invited to speak and talk about the services that keep us all as safe as possible.
So boaters who are anywhere in range of Marina del Rey in Los Angeles are invited to learn more about the federal agency responsible for ensuring the safety of sailors on the water by attending California Yacht Club's yachting luncheon, on Jan 27.
The presentation, 'U.S. Coast Guard — At the Ready for Our Safety and Protection,' will offer firsthand information from Lt. Charles Paris, commanding officer for the Coast Guard cutter Halibut. The vessel, based at Marina del Rey, will also be present during the luncheon.
Guests can enjoy a hot lunch while learning more about the Coast Guard from Lt. Paris. He will discuss events that have taken place during his time commanding the cutter Halibut and will offer advice to boaters on how to prevent accidents, both dockside and at sea.
Attendees will also learn more about the Coast Guard's many duties, including oil and chemical spill response, search and rescue operations, homeland security functions and much more. After the presentation, all attendees are welcome to tour the cutter Halibut at the club's guest dock.
This is a model for what yacht clubs around the world could do to acknowledge the role that coast guards play in our safety, and increase the knowledge of sailors about their activities.
If you ARE within range, the presentation will begin at noon Jan. 27 at California Yacht Club. To make reservations, call (310) 823-456
Letter from Reader:
Sender: Joanne Sandstrom
Message: In 1978, we were sailing up the Red Sea. There really wasn't any way to send mail home from Sudan or Yemen, and ham radio signals weren't cooperating, so my mother in Southern California hadn't heard from us in a while. Worried, she called the Long Beach Coast Guard office. Those on duty did tell her that they couldn't go look for us, but they assured her that 'no news is good news' and that they'd call her immediately if they heard anything from or about _Anduril._ She slept better thereafter.

Kyle Whittingham: '(Travis Wilson) was in bed the whole game day leading up to the UCLA game'
Full transcript, video and audio of Utah football's Monday press conference
They're all producing, they're all contributing, they're all doing a nice job in pass protection. I don't see that as a negative. I see that as something that if it happens, great. If not, it's not a big problem as long as we're getting production from each guy, and I don't view that like, you know, you say when you have more than one quarterback, you don't have any. I don't think that applies to other positions like it does a QB.
As long as they're all three contributing and none of them are separating themselves, it'll probably continue like that. If we get a guy that starts to become more productive than the others, then that particular guy will be the lead ball carrier, but right now that hasn't happened.
Reporter: Coach, you've been so close so many times. What's it going to take to get over the hump and get a win — a big signature win?
KW: Well, we've had two close games that we lost. We're 3-2, obviously, and the two losses, the overtime loss against Oregon State and the one on Thursday. I think we're knocking at the door.
We've got to make a few more plays — that's the short version. When you're close like that, it usually comes down to a play or two or three plays that's the difference, which has been the case in those two games. The opponents have made those plays, and we haven't. We've got to find a way to make those plays.
Reporter: Coach, just trying to get a gauge for how good you think this Stanford team is, where do they rate among the teams that you've had to prepare for as a coach? Are they right up there with someone maybe like an Alabama back in 2009?
KW: Maybe not quite at that level. Alabama, I mean, they had unbelievable talent, and you can see what they did the next four years or however long it's been since we played them. They've just been on a tear, and that essentially was the nucleus of their team.
Maybe not to that level, but certainly, like I said, very deserving of their ranking. They're the most physical team that we've played to date, without a doubt, and as I mentioned, the most physical team in the Pac-12 in my estimation at least to this point in time.
They're good. Where do they rank? Maybe like, I can't remember who the other ones that were TCU came in with a highly-ranked team that one time, probably like that, around that level, just going off the top of my head.
Reporter: Coach, Andy Phillips. It seemed like a lot of his kickoffs have been short. Is that strategy? And if so
KW: If it's strategy, it's bad strategy
Reporter: So it's not then? You'd like touchbacks every time then?
KW: We'd like them deeper, and touchbacks would be great. We prefer touchbacks. The Montgomery kid is a tremendous kickoff returner for Stanford. He's a real weapon, and you saw him take the opening kickoff against Washington Saturday night. So, we've got to try to keep the ball out of his hands.
But to answer your question, no. Our kickoffs have been not what we need them to be, and we're continually working on that and hopefully can get them a little more hang time and a little more depth.
Reporter: As for the secondary, that was a concern earlier in the year. Talk about how that's been improving in the last few games.
KW: It's taken steps forward, without a doubt. We've still got a lot of work to do. I'm not going to say that we're there yet, because we're not there by a long shot. But you know, Keith McGill — the play he made on the interception pick six — if we had won that game that would have been the play of the game in my estimation. We didn't win the game, so that's a moot point.
Keith is second in the league right now in passes defended. The other corner, Davion Orphey, has been a little banged up, but he's progressing as well. Justin Thomas, Mike Honeycutt at the nickel spot, so we're pleased with the progress, but we've got to continue to get better. As long as they keep the work ethic and the focus that they've had the last few weeks, then I think we're going to be on the right track. Hopefully that continues.

Choosing a primary care provider (pediatrician or family doctor) for your baby is not easy. That is why it is very important to do proper research before your baby arrives. Be prepared to interview more than one doctor. Ask lots of questions, and make sure you feel very comfortable with the doctor you choose.
Pediatricians are primary care doctors who specialize in providing care for newborns, children, and teenagers. Pediatricians provide well-care and sick-care, give immunizations, and provide developmental care as your child continues to grow. Pediatricians are available for any questions or concerns that you might have about your child's health. Family doctors are also primary care doctors, however, they differ from pediatricians in that they are specially trained to care for the entire family.
When deciding on a doctor for your baby, start off by finding out which doctors are covered by your health insurance company and which doctors are located close to your home. It might be beneficial to ask your OB/GYN or friends and family for any recommendations.
When you are going through the process of choosing a doctor for your child, meet with three or four doctors before making your decision. You might want to consider someone who is easily accessible and to whom you are comfortable talking about your child's health. Other important information you might want to consider includes office procedures, office location, and the doctor's background.

The Georgia State Panthers have added the Wisconsin Badgers to their 2016 football schedule, according to a copy of the contract obtained by FBSchedules.com from GSU.
Georgia State will travel to face Wisconsin at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison on Sept. 17, 2016. Wisconsin will pay the Panthers a $1.2 million guarantee and there will be an $800,000 fee if either team cancels the contest without mutual consent.
The addition of Wisconsin gives the Georgia State Panthers two non-conference games on their 2016 schedule. GSU is also scheduled to visit Air Force on Sept. 10, which is the second game of a home-and-home series that begins in 2014.
Wisconsin now has two of their three non-conference games scheduled for the 2016 season. The Badgers are slated to open the 2016 season against LSU at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, although the game hasn't officially been announced by either school.
The Lambeau Field match-up is part of a two-game neutral site series between Wisconsin and LSU. The first game has been officially announced and will take place at Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas on Aug. 30, 2014.
Wisconsin's Big Ten slate for 2016 was announced in July and will be the first season with the new nine-game conference schedule. The Badgers will host Ohio State, Nebraska, Illinois, and Minnesota and will travel to Michigan, Michigan State, Iowa, Northwestern, and Purdue.
Georgia State to Cancel Chattanooga in 2014
Georgia State is currently in the process of canceling their game at Chattanooga in 2014, according to documents we obtained. GSU is waiting for UTC to confirm that the game is off. The two schools were scheduled to meet on Sept. 6.
Per the contract that was signed in 2010, there will be no cancellation fee since Georgia State moved up to the FBS from the FCS. The cancellation isn't much of a surprise since FBS schools rarely travel to play at FCS programs.
Georgia State will replace Chattanooga with a home game against Abilene Christian on their 2014 football schedule. A date for that game was not indicated, but it will likely be Sept. 6.
Football Schedules
Rarely? I can't think of a single example of a FBS playing a road game against a FCS team. Am I wrong?
It is rare but it happens
1999 UConn @ Yale
2003 Idaho @ Montana
1983 and 1985 Wichita State @UT Arlington
I selected teams that are (or were at one time) at the low end of D-1 in terms of conference and attendance. I was looking for a Pacific v Sac State i seem to remember from when I lived i that area; but the database shows they only played at UOP.
I imagine that if someone does a comprehensive search they will turn up more examples.
UConn was a member of the A-10 in 1999.
Yeah– it looks like I posted some erroneous info. UConn did not transition until 2000.
It was a lot more common in the early years after the 1-A/1-AA split in 1978 for I-AA teams to host 1-A opponents. For example,. Richmond hosted WVU and Duke in 1979, East Carolina, Virginia Tech and Cincinnati in 1980, Southern Mississippi, East Carolina and Wake Forest in 1981, Virginia Tech and Rutgers in 1982, Ohio, Toledo and Wake in 1983, Wake again in 1984, and Virginia Tech in 1986.
In retrospect, the schedules in the years just before the split are sort of crazy-looking. There was no doubt in most folks' mind that ECU, VT, and WVU and Richmond were going down different football paths but home-and-home scheduling was still occurring.
Why cancel a game that you could win? I know it might be for the money, but still…
connEr, they're replacing the Chattanooga game that would be an away game with another FBS opponent, Abilene Christian at home. It is replacing a "could" win with a "should" win. At this point, it's sort of hard to say when Georgia State will turn the corner, though.

A temporary recovery in share prices after a substantial fall, caused by speculators buying in order to cover their positions: is the recession really over, or is it a dead cat bounce?

Comments about Paula's Choice RESIST Ultimate Anti-Aging Hand Cream SPF 30, 1.7 oz:
This has been the only hand cream with an Spf of 30 that I've ever come across.Most have only 15 which is not sufficient protection to prevent the dreaded age-spots. The texture is silky; it leaves the skin silky and soft but not greasy or shiny. The price is very reasonable for such a well-formulated superior product. It has done a great job of protecting my hands from sun damage and I recommend it highly.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Follow a day in the life of the panda cubs at China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda at the Wolong Nature Preserve, the largest research facility for giant pandas in China. Cubs are raised together in a protected setting--dubbed panda kindergarten--where they grow strong and learn skills that will help prepare them to be released into the wild when they are older. With spare text by veteran nonfiction writer Joanne Ryder and irresistible full-color photographs by Katherine Feng, whose work has appeared in National Geographic, Panda Kindergarten will delight young readers as they learn more about these amazing creatures.
Supports the Common Core State Standards.

after installing windows 8 on another partition, when i would boot up computer it would give me the option to boot windows 8 or windows 7. this worked fine for several weeks, but for some reason it now boots directly into windows 7 with no option for booting into windows 8. i dont know what i changed to make this happen, but hopefully there is something that can be done to fix this. let me know if you have seen this or know what to do.
Go to System properties-> Advanced tab-> under Startup and recovery click settings. A new window will open named Startup and Recovery, under system startup select your default operating system and then check both the checkbox and then try.
There is a nice program called EasyBCD that can do this for you. Just select the partition where the windows 8 drive is located, and add it as an entry. Note: For the windows 8 bootloader support, you will need the beta version.

Last night I ventured to a part of the city that is unfamiliar to me. Highpoint Shopping Centre to the immediate west of Melbourne's CBD was a quiet place, as far as shopping centres go, at 7PM on a Tuesday evening.
But then EA flicked the switch on its First Play presentation booths, and the gathering of media and EA Community types blinked their eyes and prepared to get some hands on time with games almost ready for general release.
This is the first time Electronic Arts has taken this step in Australia, according to the EA Rep present on the night however, this kind of thing has been the norm in the UK for the past decade. "The First Play Tour is EA's first experiential activation in Australia and allows Australian consumers to be among the first to play some of our biggest upcoming releases. We took learnings from our colleagues in the UK to enable us to bring to consumers in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane the opportunity to meet and greet EA staff and representatives, to get involved in their favourite games and ultimately to get hands on game-time with the likes of FIFA 13, Medal of Honor Warfighter and Need for Speed Most Wanted. We're really looking forward to meeting them and allowing them to experience these titles sometimes weeks in advance of release. " said Rob Davey, GM of EA Games Australia and New Zealand told iTWire.com.
The gamble is in the set-up and the possible reaction to any perceived flaw. And certainly Australians can be a fickle bunch, culturally different to our UK equivalents.

Nintendo Has First-Quarter Loss on DS Demand, Yen
Nintendo Co., the world's largest maker of video-game consoles, posted its first quarterly loss in more than two years as the stronger yen cut the value of overseas earnings and demand for DS handheld players fell.
The net loss was 25.2 billion yen ($289 million) in the three months ended June, compared with a 42.3 billion yen profit a year earlier, the Kyoto-based company said today. The game maker said it booked a foreign currency-related one-time loss of 70.5 billion yen.
Nintendo, which saw DS sales plunge 33 percent in the U.S. last month, said a lack of new game titles hurt revenue as it kept its outlook for annual profit to drop to the lowest in four years. President Satoru Iwata plans to introduce a 3-D model of the DS and a heart-rate-tracking "Vitality Sensor" accessory for the Wii console this fiscal year to revive earnings growth.
"The foreign-currency fluctuation exposure and sluggish consumer demand in the U.S. add up to a rather bleak outlook for the company," said Kiyoshi Ishigane, a Tokyo-based senior strategist at Mitsubishi UFJ Asset Management Co., which oversees about $56 billion.
Nintendo today said the euro weakened to 107.81 yen in the quarter, from 124.92 yen as of March 31, while the dollar fell to 88.48 yen from 93.04 yen. A stronger Japanese currency reduces the value of Nintendo's overseas sales. The company today maintained its full-year exchange-rate estimate at 120 yen for the euro and 95 yen for the dollar.
Stock Underperforms
Shares of Nintendo fell 1.5 percent to close at 24,620 yen in Osaka trading before the announcement. The stock has dropped 21 percent this fiscal year, compared with a 13 percent decline by the benchmark Nikkei 225 Stock Average.
Operating profit, or sales minus the cost of goods sold and administrative expenses, slumped 42 percent to 23.3 billion yen as revenue dropped 26 percent to 188.6 billion yen in the quarter, the company said. That's worse than the 25.8 billion yen income average of four analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg. The analysts expected 194.2 billion yen in revenue.
First-quarter sales of DS hardware dropped 47 percent to 3.15 million players, while those of software dropped 23 percent to 22.4 million units, the company said. Nintendo released 168 titles for the handheld player in the period, compared with 278 games a year earlier.
3-D Handheld Player
Nintendo in June said the 3DS handheld, going on sale this fiscal year, will allow users to see 3-D images without the need for special glasses. The product has three cameras and a motion sensor to create the 3-D effect.
The company will announce the price, shipment targets and release date for the device on Sept. 29, spokesman Yasuhiro Minagawa said by phone today.
"Many investors are in a tug-of-war between the outlook for a weak first half and expectations for the new DS model in the second half," Mitsushige Akino, who counts Nintendo shares among the $450 million he oversees at Ichiyoshi Investment Management Co. in Tokyo, said before the earnings release.
Sales of the Wii rose 36 percent to 3.04 million consoles in the April-June quarter, bolstered by the release of "Super Mario Galaxy 2," which sold more than 4 million copies in the period, Nintendo said. Wii software sales fell 9.3 percent to 28.2 million units, it said.
Increased Competition
Nintendo faces more competition than when it began sales of the Wii in 2006 and was the only major producer of motion-sensing personal-gaming machines. Sony Corp. and Microsoft Corp. plan to introduce their own motion-sensing accessories for their video-game consoles, while Apple Inc.'s iPhone and iPad devices are increasingly being used for gaming.
Sony, which has said it will update its software to allow PlayStation 3 machines to run games in 3-D, plans to start selling game titles as well as Bravia televisions capable of showing the format in June. PS3 users will have to wear special glasses to play 3-D games, the company said.
The Tokyo-based company, whose PlayStation 2 player dominated the previous generation of game consoles, is also introducing its "Move" motion-sensing controller for the PS3 to appeal to casual users and narrow Nintendo's lead.
The black controller, resembling Wii's wand with a colored ball at the top, will go on sale in the U.S. in September for $49.99, or $79.98 with a companion product, Sony said in June. More than 40 games for the new controller will be available for the U.S. holiday season, the company said at the time.
Sales at Sony's Networked Products and Services Group, which handles PlayStation games, VAIO computers and Walkman media players, jumped 32 percent in the quarter on demand for the player and laptops, the company said today. It maintained its target to sell 15 million PS3 consoles and about 196 million games.
Microsoft plans to introduce its Kinect motion-sensing controller with a free game in November for $149.99, the company said in July. The Redmond, Washington-based company plans to include the product in a $299.99 package featuring the new, slimmer Xbox 360 console and the Kinect Adventures game, it said at the time.

Coming up: another "non-event" for brakes? That's what Phase Two of new federal stopping-distance requirements will be for truck operators, according to people we talked with. Stronger, higher-performance brakes on certain vehicles won't even cost much more in most cases. But like Phase One two years ago, which was hardly noticed by truckers, Phase Two represents a lot of work for brake makers and truck builders.

"Turn Out The Light ... He's Seen Us!"
David Von Pein
on May 18, 2004
Show of hands please --- Who here loves anything with Jimmy Stewart in it? How about the lovely Grace Kelly?
Results --- ** Entire world placing hands skyward. ** :)
Well that's not surprising. Put Jimmy and Grace together (in an Alfred Hitchcock flick no less!), and you can't help but to have a classic piece of motion picture entertainment.
One of the all-time great suspense films, "Rear Window" (1954) places us (the viewer) squarely in the shoes of L.B. Jefferies (Stewart), as he peers out his "rear window" at his courtyard neighbors. (BTW -- My spelling of "Jefferies" in this review IS correct. I've noticed "Jefferies" almost always being misspelled "Jeffries" (lacking an "E"). The spelling of Jeff's last name can easily be verified at the beginning of the movie, when the camera pans across his leg cast, revealing the words: "Here lie the broken bones of L.B. Jefferies". I assume that the filmmakers didn't deliberately have Jeff's last name misspelled on the cast. Of course, I suppose that's always *possible*; but I fail to see a reason WHY they'd do it.) :-)
Hitchcock lets the plot of the movie unfold in sections, building the suspense and drama with his usual superb efficiency and skill. But "Rear Window", when you stop and think about it for a minute, doesn't really follow the same "format" as many (or most) other Hitchcock pictures -- in that we (the audience) are just as much in the dark about this possible "murder" across the courtyard as L.B. Jefferies is. In many of the director's films, "Hitch" lets his viewing audience know, right up front, that there's a "bomb under the table" (to use Hitchcock's own example from his interviews). But in "Window", Mr. H. doesn't give us much up front, and lets us discover things as they happen, right along with Jefferies.
There is one particular part of this movie that has always left me scratching my head, wondering why nothing was done about it during the course of the film. .... Near the beginning of the picture, just after Lisa Fremont (Grace Kelly) leaves Jeff's apartment, Mr. Jefferies hears a woman scream and hears glass breaking right after the scream. Now -- my question is: WHY didn't Jeff tell his detective friend (Thomas J. Doyle) about having heard this "scream and breaking glass" when he called Doyle into the "case" a short time later? Such evidence would surely have gone a long way toward convincing Jeff's skeptical pal that something HAD indeed occurred across the yard. But this "scream" is never once mentioned in the movie.
But, even with this little "hole" in the plot (IMO), "Rear Window" remains near the top of my list of "Best Hitchcock Films". Everything about it is impressive --- The small courtyard (which was actually custom-built right on the movie-studio's soundstage!); the kooky neighbors; the tension-filled storyline; Hitchcock's cameo in the "songwriter's" apartment; the radio playing in the background; the "street sounds"; "Miss Torso"; Jimmy Stewart's performance; Thelma Ritter as the sassy nurse; Grace Kelly for just being there; the mysterious trips with the suitcase; etc., etc.
This DVD comes under Universal's "Collector's Edition" label, and is packed with many first-rate extra features. Let's probe these, shall we? ..........
>> "Rear Window Ethics" is a 55-minute original documentary detailing the making of this Hitchcock classic and the restoration process undertaken to bring the film back to visual perfection for this first-ever DVD release. Very good documentary.
>> There is also a second featurette about the film, entitled "Screenwriter John Michael Hayes On Rear Window". This bonus lasts 13:10.
>> Photo Gallery. -- This gallery of production photos and advertising materials runs all by itself on its own timed track. Music from the film plays as you watch the images go by. The gallery CAN be paused for longer looks at each image. Running time (without pausing) is 3:07.
>> Original Theatrical Trailer.
>> Re-release Trailers for 5 different Hitchcock films. -- Narrated by James Stewart. Length: 6:15.
>> Text features with "Production Notes" and some biography pieces on the Cast & Crew.
Another small "mini-bonus" I kind of like is a video montage of Hitchcock movie clips when "Play" is selected from the Main Menu. This, however, can easily be bypassed quickly with an additional remote key stroke.
Video and Audio Specifications:
This color film is presented in an Anamorphic Widescreen format, and looks mighty fine thanks to the restoration efforts. The image is as clear and clean as we've ever seen it. The 2-channel Mono Dolby Digital soundtrack serves the material on screen adequately.
There is some confusion as to the film's aspect ratio. The packaging shows the ratio on this DVD is supposed to be 1.66:1. And evidently it IS that ratio. But, due to something inherent to the "anamorphic" transfer process with regard to this particular ratio (1.66:1), this DVD will display the image on your TV in a wider-looking ratio (closer to 1.85:1). That is, if your TV is a "standard" set (with a 4x3 shaped screen). If you're watching this DVD on a "Widescreen 16x9" set, then the image should fill the entire screen (except for small "pillarboxed" bars on the left and right sides of the screen). But on some 16x9 TVs, these "side bars" aren't visible due to the "overscan".
In any event, the anamorphic image on this disc looks quite good, no matter how it's ultimately formatted onto your screen.
A four-page booklet is included inside this DVD package, with a chapter listing on the back, plus some Production Notes and reproductions of five "Rear Window" lobby cards/posters.
Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window" has stood the test of time for many decades, and will no doubt stand erect for many more to come. If you like this movie, there's no better way to re-visit it than by indulging in this picture-perfect "Collector's Edition" DVD.

A bit slow at times, but classic Hitchock.
Amazon Customer

A bit slow at times, but classic Hitchock.
L.B. 'Jeff' Jeffries (James Stewart) is a photographer who broke his leg getting an exciting picture for his magazine. As a result he has been stuck in his apartment for 7 weeks getting better and has one more to go. He is dating Lisa Carol Fremont (Grace Kelly) but he doesn't want to marry her and he doesn't want to change his life to adapt to what married life would be like.
When Jeff believes his neighbor, Lars Thorwald (Raymond Burr), killed his wife, Mrs. Anna Thorwald (Irene Winston), he begins an intrigue that sucks in Lisa and several others and only ends when Lars comes into Jeff's apartment and nearly kills him.
My Comments:
Either it is me aging or Hitchcock aging, but Hitchcock seems to get better the older I get. The movie was fun to watch and the acting was pretty good. Jeff's nurse Stella (Thelma Ritter) was also a lot of fun, offering the wisdom of a wise woman's life in the time it takes to rub a man's back. The set was brilliant (the entire story takes place in an a group of apartments). And, perhaps best of all were the relationships that played out between the cast members. There was love and loss and loneliness and rejection. It was all there.
I never really felt any tension in the movie, but then again that could have been because there were moments when it was slow and I just didn't identify all that well with the characters. But the film was very enjoyable nonetheless. Great Hitchcock. Also, the DVD special features were very informative and included interviews with most of the cast.

I feel stupid writing the only 1-star review for this movie, but what the heck. I thought Rear Window was boring. It starts off agonizingly slow and I thought it was annoying how all the action takes place in one setting (ala 12 Angry Men). The acting isn't half bad but the film is so slow...I can't imagine anyone wanting to sit through this film more than once. There's my 2 cents. Buy it if you like Hitchcock.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Dec 01st, 1995
Running Time: 138
Company: Leisure Time Entertainment
Cast: Angela Horne, Larry, Christina (I), Shannon (I), The Beaver Brothers, Sabrina (I), Morgan (I), James (I), Spontaneeus
Critical Rating: AA
Genre: All-Sex
In Pussy Hunt 15, the Beaver Brothers provide viewers with a frustrating combination of pluses and minuses. The girls are mostly beautiful, with several, including the Larry/Sabrina coupling, generating reasonable heat. Unfortunately, the jittery, out-of-focus camera work is irritating. The long running time of this six-scene will may make it worthwhile for well-stocked stores.

Anonymising Bittorrent code could be its downfall
If reports are to be believed
A FEW LINES OF CODE thought to be capable of making Bittorrent anonymous is in fact just the thing copyrights holders might be looking for.
Reports surfaced of a 85 line bit of code which apparently could be modified to make Bittorrent downloads anonymous does, in fact, poison torrents. The script, merely a proof of concept, creates ficitious nodes to join a torrent and participate in a swarm.
Depending on the implementation of this code those fake nodes could be used to send fake 'pieces' to unwitting clients. The coder claims that users on "broadband connections" can create up to "a thousand fake peers in less than 5 minutes".
The idea of torrent poisoning is pretty attractive to those who want to undermine the Bittorrent protocol. A number of firms, including the infamous Mediadefender, employ such tactics in order to introduce 'noise' within the swarm, meaning that downloaders end up with incomplete files. There are, unsurprisingly, several ways to avoid this with the simplest being limiting the range of Bittorrent clients able to receive a list of nodes participating in the swarm.
Modifying Bittorrent clients such as the open source 'Mainline' client originally developed by protocol designer Bram Cohen, is pretty common. Many researchers modify clients in order to observe and measure swarm activity for papers while others modify clients to report, falsely, download and upload amounts in order to keep favourable 'ratios' on private tracker sites. It is particularly the second reason that has lead to many trackers to ban all but a few clients.
For those who really want to stay anonymous, probably the best way is to use Tor, an onion routing system. However using Tor for anything other than Web browsing goes against its self imposed ettiquette. Of course Bittorrent isn't the only way to obtain files on the Internet with Usenet remaining popular. With rentable anonymous VPN and SSL Usenet accounts easily available, having some resemblence of anonymity while taking part in downloading dodgy content can be achieved.
As for the offending code, the potiental for it to be used to have a negative effect on Bittorrent swarms clearly exists but as research by Dhungel et al [1] shows, Bittorrent is a fairly resiliant protocol, as we're sure Mediadefender has found out. µ

Chief operating officer Niall Wass warned against "jumping to conclusions" about his company, which has come under fire over the way it treats customers.
"I am not sitting here today saying that everything we do is perfect; what we are trying to do is use great technology to give a really fair, transparent service to customers," he said in an interview with ITV News At 10 before representatives of the three of the biggest payday lenders - including Wonga - faced a grilling by MPs on the Commons Business, Innovation and Skills Committee.
Labour leader Ed Miliband used the event to coordinate an attack on Britain's "Wonga economy", saying the rise of payday lenders symbolised the squeeze on living standards facing millions of ordinary families.
He accused the firms of preying on the vulnerable, creating a "quiet crisis" for thousands of households left with debts they were unable to pay off.

About Neuro-Ophthalmology
A variety of eye disorders are caused by or associated with neurologic diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, strokes and brain tumors. Neuro-Ophthalmology is a field that deals with such eye disorders, and neuro-ophthalmologists assess and treat a variety of visual complaints, including blurred vision and double vision. Because this specialty includes the fields of ophthalmology, neurology, neurosurgery and neuroradiology, most neuro-ophthalmologists have received training in all of these areas.
In addition, most neuro-ophthalmologic disorders require the interaction of the neuro-ophthalmologist with other physicians, particularly general neurologists, neurosurgeons and radiologists. Thus, most neuro-ophthalmologists are located in academic medical centers. In this environment, they can not only examine their complex patients, but can also perform basic and clinical research, and teach medical students, residents and different specialists.

Did You Know?
Back in ancient Rome, tightrope walking was a popular spectacle at public gatherings. The Latin word for "tightrope walker" is "funambulus," from the Latin funis, meaning "rope," plus ambulare, meaning "to walk." It doesn't take any funambulism on our part to see how the word for an impressive act of physical skill and agility came to mean an impressive act of mental skill or agility. That extended sense of the word has been around since at least 1886, when British academic and writer Augustus Jessopp described the act of diagramming sentences as "horrible lessons of ghastly grammar and dreary funambulism."
Origin and Etymology of funambulism
Latin funambulus ropewalker, from funis rope + ambulare to walk
First Known Use: 1824

Monster Tree with Irish Roots LbNA # 22526
|Placed Date
|May 1 2006
|Columbia, MO
|Found By
|Hike Distance
|Last Edited
|Mar 7 2016
Update: Attempted March 4, 2016
Update: May 31, 2011: the Monster Trees mentioned in the clue below have mostly fallen
Update: 11/7/2013: the first box confirmed in place.
Update: 8/13/09: The second box in this series has been reported missing by several people.
This letterbox is located in a city-owned neighborhood park in southwestern Columbia. A playground, a short hike (half on-trail and half off-trail) and easy clues make this letterbox suitable for young children. A compass is required.
These letterboxes were inspired by the large trees in the park; the stamps were inspired by the name of the park.
DIRECTIONS: From Interstate 70, exit 124, take Stadium Blvd (aka Hwy 740) south to Broadway. Turn right and head west to Fairview. Turn left and head south to the first street past Fairview Elementary School (Bray avenue). Turn right and head west to a street that shares the same name as a major city in Ireland. Turn left until you dead end at the park that shares the same name as the street.
Take paved path to playground and shelter. After 21 paces (one pace = two steps) notice a narrow trail running left to the First Monster Tree (it has since fallen). Take a few minutes to explore this giant which may be the biggest and oldest tree in the park, then continue on gravel path which soon turns east.
Pass several orange survey markers until you reach the Big Belly Monster Tree. Stand inside the belly of this beast, look out from its belly button hole and say Peek-a Boo. Good Kodak moment. Alas, this Monster Tree has also now fallen.
Continue on gravel path, passing "Lincoln, Nebraska" on left. Trail curves left (NE), then soon ends overlooking creek.
A narrow path bearing 20 degrees is on your right. Travel 17 paces along it, curving left, until you reach a drainage that runs into main creek. A sycamore tree stands on creek bank. Stand on NW side of sycamore facing upstream. Go 290 degrees (crossing creek) to an orange survey marker then 2 paces more to Neenah and steel diamonds.
Go 260 degrees 13 paces to another sycamore whose roots hang onto creek bank (more often a drainage). Climb up onto bank so sycamore is on your left. Go 280 degrees west 11 paces to snag with 3.5 foot high window. Peer inside window ledge and remove several guardian stones that jealously guard a camouflaged letterbox. Inspect box carefully to reveal all of its secrets. Be sure to replace stone guardians when finished to prevent animals from chewing or dragging away box. Please also make sure no part of the box is visible to reduce chance of damage by vandals or forces of nature. be sure to check th back of the logbook.
Please use the "Contact the Placer" link to let me know of your letterboxing adventures and to tell me of the box's condition.

"Where priest and people together face the same way, what we have is a cosmic orientation and also in interpretation of the Eucharist in terms of resurrection and trinitarian theology. Hence it is also an interpretation in terms of parousia, a theology of hope, in which every Mass is an approach to the return of Christ."
Joseph Ratzinger - The Feast of Faith"In those situations where homosexual unions have been legally recognized or have been given the legal status and rights belonging to marriage, clear and emphatic opposition is a duty. ... If all Catholics are obliged to oppose the legal recognition of homosexual unions, Catholic politicians are obliged to do so in a particular way, in keeping with their responsibility as politicians."

For contemplation…
"One of the few things in life you can be absolutely sure about is that, if Management tells you it doesn't like your Tone, you are getting something right."
"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."
- - Giovanni Guareschi

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

Let us pray…
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

If you, or someone you know, needs to buy or sell a house, office, or any kind of domestic or commercial property anywhere in the world, call Real Estate For Life on 1-877-LIFE-US1. They connect you with an expert agent with a proven track-record from a local franchised broker or strong independent. When the sale is completed, the agent gives a portion of their fee to Real Estate For Life as a referral fee. Real Estate For Life gives 80% of that fee to one of the pro-life organizations they work with: a house with a value of $150,000 means $1000 goes to the pro-life organization. It doesn't cost you anything.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

For your consideration…
"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."
- C.S. Lewis
More food for thought:
"I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history."

And... GO TO CONFESSION!
"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward."

Food For Thought
"Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites. . . . Society cannot exist unless a controlling power upon will and appetite be placed somewhere; and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without. It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters."
- Edmund Burke
