Russian dancer says he agreed to acid attack
Associated Press
MOSCOW — Pale and haggard after hours of questioning, a leading Bolshoi dancer told a Moscow court that he gave his blessing to an attack on the ballet's artistic director but never imagined that the assailant would go as far as to throw acid in his face.
The arrest and confessions of Pavel Dmitrichenko, who danced the parts of both heroes and villains in the Bolshoi's famed classical ballets, has dealt a painful blow to the theater's reputation and left many members of the company bewildered and incredulous.
Sergei Filin, 42, suffered severe burns to his face and eyes in the Jan. 17 attack. He has undergone a series of operations aimed at saving his sight.
The 29-year-old Dmitrichenko said his conflict with Filin was focused on the distribution of salaries and other financial issues, but speculation was rife about other possible reasons for the attack. Some claimed that the dancer wanted to take revenge for his ballerina girlfriend after she was turned down for a major role, while others pondered arcane conspiracy theories alleging the involvement of other top figures in the theater.
Facing the judge on Thursday, Dmitrichenko said he had told the suspected perpetrator of the attack about his grievances concerning the Bolshoi and his arguments with Filin.
"I told Yuri Zarutsky about the policies of the Bolshoi Theater, about the bad things going on, the corruption. When he said: 'OK, let me beat him up, hit him upside the head,' I agreed, but that is all that I admit to doing," Dmitrichenko said in court. "It's not true that I ordered him to throw acid at Filin."
The burly, grim-faced Zarutsky, who served seven years in a maximum security prison for beating up someone who later died, tried to cover his face from TV cameras with his tattooed hand when he was led into the courtroom.
He made an indecent gesture and uttered an obscene comment to reporters who shouted out questions about his part in the crime.
Moscow police said Thursday that Dmitrichenko had paid 50,000 rubles (about $1,600) to Zarutsky, who they said had purchased acid at an auto shop and then heated it to make it more concentrated. The third defendant, Andrei Lipatov, drove the getaway car, but insisted that he did not know the purpose of his mission.
The judge rejected all three men's pleas for release and ordered them held until at least April 18 while the investigation continues. If convicted, they face up to 12 years in prison.
Several members of the ballet company who attended the hearing said they couldn't believe that Dmitrichenko had masterminded the attack, even after they heard his confessions.
"None of the people I met in the theater, starting from costume designers and make-up artists and ending with soloists, believes in that," said Bolshoi dancer Andrei Bolotin, who said that Dmitrichenko might have confessed under duress. "The man we saw is half the man we knew."
Dmitrichenko's lawyer, Alexander Barkanov, said he and his client have had little chance to sleep since police first knocked on the dancer's door in an apartment building a block away from the Kremlin in the pre-dawn hours of Wednesday. While Dmitrichenko was formally detained late Wednesday, he in fact had been in police custody since early that day, Barkanov said.
The lawyer said that Zarutsky might have deliberately gone further than Dmitrichenko expected, in hopes of blackmailing the dancer afterward.
Several Bolshoi company members described Dmitrichenko as a man with a fiery temperament, but one who is incapable of staging such a crime in cold blood.
"He's a temperamental man, a born leader eager to fight for his views, who may explode at times," said Alexandra Durseneva, a soprano in the Bolshoi opera. "But he isn't one to plan such a plot to take revenge."
Dmitrichenko's long, ghostlike face with heavy eyelids helped him make a lasting impression playing the villain in "Swan Lake" and the title role in "Ivan the Terrible."
He said in an interview published a few years ago that even though he came from a family of dancers he never dreamed of becoming a Bolshoi star and thought of becoming a hockey player when he was a boy.
Some reports have claimed that the attack could have been triggered by Filin's refusal to cast Dmitrichenko's girlfriend, Anzhelina Vorontsova, in the main role in "Swan Lake." Filin was the patron and coach of a teenaged Vorontsova, but they reportedly later had a falling-out. The daily Izvestia claimed that Filin told Vorontsova in December she was not slender enough for the "Swan Lake" part, angering Dmitrichenko.
Bolotin and other company members were skeptical of this theory, saying that bad blood between Filin and Vorontsova was exaggerated and the ballerina has continued to take prominent parts, including one in "The Nutckracker," one of the theater's most revered ballets. "There was no reason for her to feel hurt," Bolotin said.Filin's lawyer and wife both cautioned against focusing too much attention on the ballerina and said the circle of people involved in the attack was wider than the three men detained this week.
The Bolshoi's general director, Anatoly Iksanov, has accused veteran principal dancer Nikolai Tsiskaridze of inspiring the attack. Tsiskaridze, a long-time fierce critic of Iksanov who is reported to aspire to his job, has denied the allegation. Tsiskaridze hasn't commented on Dmitrichenko's arrest.
Dmitrichenko told reporters in the courtroom that the Bolshoi might have floated the theory of him taking revenge for Vorontsova in order to get rid of Tsiskaridze, who coaches the ballerina.
Anastasia Volochkova, a former Bolshoi ballerina who was fired by Iksanov, urged the government to reshuffle the management. "I don't know what else should happen in the Bolshoi for the country's leadership to intervene. A murder, a shooting , a war or what?" she said on Ekho Moskvy radio.
Dmitrichenko and Tsiskaridze are both followers of legendary choreographer Yuri Grigorovich, who led the Bolshoi dance company for three decades. He was forced out in 1995, but remains on the Bolshoi staff.
A string of successive artistic directors tried to bring new energy and a more modern repertoire to the Moscow theater, only to face opposition from dancers and teachers who remained devoted to Grigorovich and his ballets.
Filin, who took up his post in March 2011, was seen as capable of bridging the gap. He was a veteran of the Bolshoi, where he danced from 1989 until 2007, and later served as artistic director of the Stanislavsky and Nemirovich Theater, Moscow's second ballet company.
Bolotin said that Filin was popular with Bolshoi dancers even though he couldn't please all of them. "Some people were unhappy, but it's only natural. Artists are emotional, and all of them want to dance, but it's impossible to engage all 250 of them at once," he said, adding that the troupe has been in deep shock over the attack.
"It has stained Bolshoi and cast shame on it," said Roman Denisov, a Bolshoi violinist.

The Human Race Machine
Artist Nancy Burson creates records of people who don't exist, but she is confident about the impact of her fabricated faces on the real world. "I've been showing people what they can't see or didn't want to see," she says.
In "Paradise Now," a downtown group show at Exit Art through October 28, Burson shows New Yorkers her latest project: The Human Race Machine, which uses software with a database of about 50 photos to morph the images of gallery visitors into five different races. Just slide into place before the machine, which looks like a stripped-down arcade game, and watch your face on screen change into an African, Asian, Eastern Indian, European, and Latino onegiving you a chance to see how you'd look if you'd been born a different hue.
A billboard hanging over the intersection of Canal and Church streets shows off the software's handiwork. The woman pictured on the billboard goes from light to dark to light again, remaining clearly recognizable. "I want sitting in front of the machine to be an experience in viewing beyond difference to sameness," says Burson, who points out that humans share 99.9 percent of their genetic material.
Burson, owner of the tech company Face Software, also invented the Age Machinewhich shows the way a face will change over timein collaboration with computer scientists at MIT in the mid '70s. Though computer experts at the time were familiar with the techniques of warping pictures, it took an artist to ask how a computer might project the way a person could appear in the future. Burson sold the rights to the Age Machine in 1987 to the FBI, which used it to find missing children. She also created the Anomaly Machine, which shows people how they'd look with various disabilities.

Burson's explicit desire to show people they're inextricably linked is paralleled by a more ominous implicit message: that looks can be erased or altered by technology, whether in the mists of cyberspace or the labs of bioengineers. That's the darker aspect of morphing identities explored by other works in the "Paradise Now" show, such as art collaborative ®ark's Bio Taylorism (2000), a Microsoft Powerpoint presentation on the "benefits" of biotechnology, and by Burson's own earlier celebrity composites, including First Beauty Composite (1982).
Social critics caution that morphing images could lead to a belief that racial and cultural differences don't matter. "Does the Race Machine erase power differences by treating all black, white, Asian, or Latino people as the same technological transformation?" asks Wendy Hui Kyong Chun, an assistant professor of modern culture and media at Brown University.
But for Burson, these shades of gray pale next to deeper questions, such as where we come from and what we believe in, down to the most personal levels. "Before our kid was born my husband and I did a small composite of baby pictures of ourselves and I kept it," she says. "Later, our child saw it and said, 'That's me.' "

Rob Forsyth earned it this year.
The senior from Susan Wagner was one of 13 Staten Island wrestlers to qualify for the Feb. 27-28 New York State Federation Tournament at the University of Albany, and he did it the old fashioned way.
By winning the PSAL City Individual Championship at 140 pounds.
Forsyth decisioned Yevgeniy Komissarov of James Madison — who had beaten Forsyth by one point in this year's Mayor's Cup — to earn a trip to the states in his final attempt.
Forsyth ended up going to the states last season, but he had finished third, behind a Petrdies wrestler (who could only qualify for the "small school" states) and a McKee/Staten Island Tech wrestler who decided against competing in the Federation tournament.
"It feels a lot better, like you earned something, than if you just go because someone else doesn't," said Forsyth. "It's definitely good to end with a win."
Forsyth and teammate Luke Traub are the Falcons' first city champions since Brian Reid in 2004.
"He's a great kid," said Susan Wagner coach Don Gatti. "He's been through a lot. He lost his sister two years ago and he just had a tough sophomore year. Last year, he went to states by default. It was his last chance to make it and, now, he earned it. I feel great for him."
Forsyth will be joined by 14 other PSAL city champs, five more from Staten Island — Susan Wagner's Traub (96), Curtis' Rob Zyko (112), James Holden (152) and Kemar Shuriah (285) and Tottenville's Alexander Raff (189) — at the large school State Federation tournament.
Petrides will send seven of the 14 Division II "small school" (less than 500 students) representatives — there is no rep for the 96 pound class — including Brian Traub (112), Angel Rivera (119), Danny Franco (130), James Hasson (160), Max Weisner (171) Ivan McCall (189) and Patrick Thornton (215).
They will all have a shot to prove they are the best in the state.
"I think Forsyth can do well," said Gatti. "He got to go last year, so he's seen what's up there, what kind of competition and he'll be ready for it this time around."
"I lost my first two up there last year," said Forsyth. "I'd like to get a win or two this time."
NOTES: Curtis won the PSAL Division won team title with 165 points, edging Grand Street Campus (163.5), who they also defeated in the PSAL Dual Meet third place match. Lehman (112), Bryant (103) and Sheepshead Bay (99) rounded out the top five... Susan Wagner was seventh (77.5 points) and Tottenville was 12th (59.5)... PSAL Dual Champions Petrides won the Division II team title, ahead of Riverdale-Kingsbridge and Baruch College HS in the three-way round robin.

With an increase in cyber attacks targeting financial data, health care records, HR files, intellectual property and other forms of highly sensitive data, enterprises must evaluate not only what data is at risk, but where data is at risk. The threat perimeter has expanded well beyond the walls of most organizations as more file sharing, mobile devices and cloud technologies are deployed by IT departments.
Knowing where data resides is the first step in securing the enterprises' new perimeter. However, the battle isn't won until security controls are in place, regardless of a file's location.
In this slideshow, Seclore breaks down the top five areas exposing your sensitive data to risk, and provides tips for minimizing security vulnerabilities.

Gavin DeGraw Loofahs a Rhino

Gavin DeGraw came to ABQ BioPark Zoo in Albuquerque, N.M., to perform his hits – but couldn't leave without monkeying around.
While in town Wednesday for a gig with Colbie Caillat, the singer and Dancing With the Stars alum shared photos on his trip to the park.
In a collage of photos, he acts like a gorilla while standing beside the real thing and imitates an elephant sticking out his tongue.

Gavin DeGraw Won't Miss Tanning for Dancing with the Stars

Gavin DeGraw didn't end up at the bottom of the Dancing with the Stars leader board more than once because he couldn't handle the demands of the show.
In fact, the high-intensity schedule of rehearsing in front of cameras and performing live in the ballroom is what helped him come as far as he did.
"I'll miss the whole pressure element of the show," DeGraw, 35, told PEOPLE backstage after he and partner Karina Smirnoff were booted from the ballroom Tuesday. "I enjoy the pressure. I don't necessarily enjoy it all the time, but pressure is good frequently."
Tanning, on the other hand, is another matter.
Dancing with the Stars: Gavin DeGraw & Karina Smirnoff Eliminated

Just as Dancing with the Stars's competition was starting to look up last week for Karina Smirnoff and partner Gavin DeGraw, they once again sunk to the bottom of the leaderboard after Monday night's 19-point samba.
They've been saved in prior weeks after low scores, but will fans' votes once again be enough to keep the pair on the show? The second lowest scores of the night went to Maksim Chmerkovskiy and his recovering partner Melissa Gilbert, who earned 21 points for their samba. Gladys Knight and Tristan MacManus were one point above them with a score of 22 for their samba.

After Sherri Shepherd's shocking elimination on Dancing with the Stars last week, the remaining contestants felt the pressure and turned up the heat for Latin Night in the ballroom on Monday.
Taking on the salsa, samba and the Argentine tango, nine couples performed hip-shaking routines that were in some cases downright steamy.
Maria Menounos and Derek Hough performed one of the night's sexiest routines, sealing their salsa with a controversial kiss. "That was hot," Carrie Ann Inaba said, but "I don't think you needed the kiss ... Dance is about the illusion of passion."
Karina Smirnoff & Gavin DeGraw Plan to Show Some Skin on Dancing with the Stars

It was amazing to have not been in the bottom this week on Dancing with the Stars! When it was announced that Melissa and Maks were safe, we thought we were in the bottom two and we were okay with that. But then it was announced that we were safe and we thought, "We don't know what to do! This is awesome!"
I think it was our determination to not be in the bottom two this week that kept us safe. We worked our booties off and the judges saw our progress. It helped that the music and the movements of the tango were so powerful. I also have to give Gavin a lot of credit. He put in a lot of extra work to make sure that he nailed every step.
This week is Latin week, a very sexy week on the show. Gavin is definitely going to be wearing a little less clothing in this dance than normal. He won't be taking off his signature hat, but he is going to be minus the jacket – maybe minus the shirt? We definitely are going to show a little more skin.

Things that go bump ...
This week has been the most challenging for me so far this season of Dancing with the Stars. As you know, Maks and I had a bit of an accident Monday night. The moment it happened, I had no idea what had gone wrong. I just knew Maks fell. My head hurt a lot and I assumed I'd hit it on the dance floor.
Things were spinning a bit for me when the judges gave their critiques. In fact, by the time I got up to the skybox I had no idea what they'd said.

And it seems there are plenty of people watching out for the actress. "@Maksim you are my champion. I adore you," she wrote of her partner in a follow-up Tweet, before adding of her helpful competitor, "@GavinDeGraw bless your heart for carrying me down those stairs!"

Karina Smirnoff Says Gavin DeGraw Is Working on Being Romantic and Sexy
Originally posted 04/02/2012 01:30PM
It sucked to be in the bottom last week on Dancing with the Stars. That wasn't cool. We thought we could be in the bottom two because we were in the lower half of the leader board but our mantra is "hope dies less," and we were definitely hoping we weren't going to be.
After our jive on Monday, Gavin was a little upset. The judges' comments didn't bother him but he was hard on himself because he felt we did the routine better in rehearsal. I think performing second to last was bad for us. While we were waiting those almost two hours, we kept going over the dance and I think we over analyzed it. Gavin made a good point, when you do something like bungee jumping, it is not the event itself that freaks you out, but rather it's the anticipation of it. If we are going to go last again, we won't be practicing during the show.
This week is very important, it's our turn to share a personal story. We are doing the rumba – the dance of love – so we are working on being very romantic and sexy, but we also want to show the sentimental value of the personal story that Gavin is going to bring to this week's show.

Our Mission
At ThinkBIGsites.com our mission is to help our clients significantly increase their profits, while serving them with the highest level of integrity, honesty, passion and customer service available anywhere in the world today.
ThinkBIGsites.com (TBS) is a website optimization firm, internet marketing company inspired by like-minded business leaders Marc Arner and PJ Cammarata, who joined forces to meet the needs of a growing online community. Our inherent belief at TBS is that the world´s leading internet marketing companies and website optimization firms are simply not providing clients with what is required to increase targeted web traffic and ultimately increase profits.
Businesses turn to a website optimization firm or internet marketing firm in order to maximize their online visibility. But often, because of lack of experience or an inability to effectively navigate the complexities of online search engines and social platforms, these service companies fall far short of their clients' expectations. ThinkBIGsites.com, however, is effectively able to deliver its unique brand of superior level service to the businesses that need us the most.
TBS was formed specifically to fill a niche market for small and mid sized businesses that, while overflowing in numbers, remain largely underserved. We think outside the box while conventional website optimization firms continue to go by the "old book". And while they may provide their clients with attractive websites, they leave them with as little online presence as having a billboard on the moon.
ThinkBIGsites.com is a company on the cutting edge of Internet marketing. While other service providers may focus on one area of website optimization, TBS looks at the whole picture; pulling all of the pieces of the puzzle together to create an attractive, functional, and streamlined site that has a solid online presence.
As high level website designers, we specialize in website design, development, and enhancement, ensuring that our client ´s websites are of the highest possible quality in form and user function. As a website optimization firm, we are able to use our unique SEO expertise to help our clients realize the highest potential rankings available on the Internet ´s search engines - in a fraction of the time and cost that it takes other SEO companies to achieve. As marketing specialists we help our clients maximize their opportunities for success and even assist them in developing alternative revenue streams.
The ThinkBIGsites.com team is comprised of world-class marketers, SEO specialists, Internet business consultants, and Pay Per Click specialists. Our services include search engine optimization, social media marketing, ppc management, and web design.
Our management team is focused on helping small to mid sized companies enjoy a much broader regional, national - or even worldwide - presence, affording them more exposure for their products and services than ever before possible.

The original building on Residence Avenue was the first church building in Albany, built on land donated by col. Nelson Tift in 1859.
The Civil War put its completion on hold and was used as a hospital for wounded soldiers.
It was finally dedicated in 1882, although mass was only held one Sunday a month until1902.

The rains came
Water — not enough of it or too much — is something people don't think much about until it's too late.
Last weekend's storms serve as a reminder — if one were needed — of the damage and inconvenience caused by heavy rain in a short period of time.
Basements were flooded and sanitary sewers backed up, leaving homeowners with a depressing mess on their hands and, in at least one case, forcing the evacuation of apartment dwellers to new housing. But the problem was not universal.
In Campustown — the site of many floods in days of yore — there were no problems because the excess water drained into Healey Street detention area and the Boneyard Creek Second Street basin.
The lesson is obvious: those areas that are prepared, from an engineering perspective, for heavy rain are relatively safe from flooding while those that are not will suffer from a multitude of problems.
That is why legislation awaiting Gov. Pat Quinn's signature is so important. It expands projects eligible for financial assistance through a state-run revolving loan fund to include municipal storm water projects. The legislation also allows more types of water pollution control projects to qualify for assistance including storm-water runoff and treatment systems as well as industrial waste systems.
This is not an issue that garners much public attention — unless there's a problem. But it's a serious issue nonetheless, one that cannot go unaddressed. That this legislation passed the Illinois House and Senate without opposition and will be signed by Quinn testifies to the bipartisan interest in the issue.
The so-called clean-water initiative was first proposed by Quinn in 2012 when he made $1 billion available for use by the state's Environmental Protection Agency in a low-interest revolving loan fund. In 2014, he announced plans to add another $1 billion.
The fund is self-sustaining because loan money repaid by communities is available to be re-lent to other communities.
However, the demand is overwhelming. In Champaign alone, the city has $80 million in projects on the drawing board. It already has borrowed from the revolving loan fund, helping to finance work on sanitary sewers in the Kenwood neighborhood and a John Street project affecting both sanitary and storm sewers.
State Rep. Elaine Nekritz, a Northbrook Democrat and chief sponsor of the legislation, acknowledged that there is "absolutely more demand than there is a supply of funds."
"I think everyone recognizes we need to be working on projects that alleviate this problem," she said.
This is the kind of state/local partnership that brings real benefits to the public. More projects can get done at lower costs, creating jobs, easing or eliminating problems caused by big rains and upgrading water quality.
Once Gov. Quinn signs this legislation, it's incumbent on the state EPA to move with dispatch in implementing the important changes the law makes. The state had issued more than $3 billion in low-interest loans since creating the revolving fund in 1988, so much has been done. Much more, however, remains to be done in the face of more storm clouds lurking on the horizon.

Next Act Theatre offers solid primer on Marxism with 'Groucho'
Like the Marx Brothers' early vaudeville show, Next Act Theatre's"Groucho: A Life in Revue" is a "skule" act. It gently and congenially educates the audience about one of America's great comedians, Groucho Marx, whose remarkable career included Broadway, movie and TV hits built around his wisecracking persona.
After a brief opening sequence, this revue, written by Groucho's son Arthur and Robert Fisher, unfolds chronologically. It's sentimental in spots, but heck, you might be sentimental, too, if you were writing a show about your father and uncles. It's not warts and all, but it does acknowledge Groucho's regrets about three marriages that ended in divorce. »Read Full Article

George Lakoff's Majority Vote Budget Initiative
Midnight came and went and for the 23rd time in the past 24 years, California State Legislature once again missed another budget deadline, underscoring the need for voters to say "Yes" to the Majority Vote Budget Initiative, which would lead to California's budget being approved by a majority vote.

Non-business sellers can set their items to automatically relist up to three times if they don't sell, at no extra cost and without counting towards monthly free listings. Download the new fee structure, visit our FAQs, or continue reading for all the details relevant to you. Why were these changes made? Over the last few years, we've introduced a number of changes to the fee structure, all aimed at reducing the upfront cost of selling and encouraging the selling practices that we know keep buyers happy and therefor coming back time and time again. More than 60% of items sold on eBay.com.au offer free postage, which means many sellers have already been paying a fee based on the total paid by a buyer. The new way of calculating final value fees means all sellers pay a fee based on the total amount paid by a buyer, whether postage is included in the cost of an item or charged additionally. Similar fee changes have been introduced on eBay sites internationally ensuring consistency for sellers who list and sell across multiple eBay sites. What do these changes mean for you? If you already offer free postage on all or most of your items, the changes will have little to no impact on you. If you don't or can't offer free postage on your items, consider how you can reduce your postage expenses to minimise the affect the change may have on you. Use our postage label printing service to purchase your postage directly on eBay and take advantage of the negotiated rates that save you 10% (or more) on the standard cost of all but one of the options available. Use domestic rate tables to set different postage costs for different regions across Australia so you don't over- or under-charge on postage (particularly useful for heavy and bulky items). Get to know the different postage and shipping providers and the services they offer. Ship2Anywhere have a special rate available to eBay sellers. Even more ways to save when selling Selling promotions Selling promotions are discount offers for limited periods. Discounts might include more free listings, free auction listings, reduced final value fees, free or reduced feature fees or selling reward coupons to spend on eBay. We're running more selling promotions than ever before so make sure you don't miss an opportunity to save. Learn more about selling promotions. Automatic relist Non-business sellers can set their items to automatically relist up to three more times if they don't sell. Not only is it a free feature (you simply check a box when you create your listing), none of your relists count towards your monthly free listings and any feature and insertion fees are only charged for the first listing – so the relists are totally on us. Final value fees still apply when your item sells. Learn more about automatic relist. Page ID: 2174649 Print PDF Mail

As the first third of the season comes to a close, the MLB Hot Stove is heating up.
The biggest deals might not happen until July, but the Trade Deadline rumor season begins in earnest when the calendar turns to June—as will happen on Wednesday.
Trades don't have to involve marquee names to be exciting—minor deals can be interesting too. But let's face it: the blockbuster deals are more fun.
In this slideshow are the 12 highest-paid players who could change teams in the coming weeks. They're sorted in ascending order of salary, not likelihood of being dealt.
Let the speculation begin!

meaning to ask this for a while. A couple of weeks ago i flashed my hitachi using this method to get into mode b
(straight from readme)
* Ensure SATA cable is plugged from Hitachi drive to PC.
* Ensure XBOX video cable is pluggd into back of console.
* Power on the Xbox 360 console.
* Open the drive Tray, by pressing the EJECT button.
* Pull the power plug on xbox 360 from back of console.
* This will force the console to leave the tray in the OPEN position.
* Plug the power brick back into the Xbox 360.
* Power on Xbox 360 using the "power" button.
* Drive is now in Mode B.
* Turn on your PC and wait for Windows to boot
It just seemed to easy after all the fuss using live cd?
But it worked with no problems and 100% flashed confirmed

As I understand, that method for getting your hitachi into modeb will work if there's already modified firmware on the drive - it's included in the Xtreme feature set. If you want to get into modeb on a stock Hitachi drive, you need to use the Slax CD or the 2 wire trick.
Posted 01 June 2007 - 01:47 PM
exactly ^^, if you have one of the latest fw it is OK.
if you have a very olf hitachi fw or a new hitachi, it will not work.
true that after it is there, it is great much better than the wire trick

"I believe this issue goes to the heart of who we are as Americans. I know that the issues of immigration are hard, and that people of good faith and integrity disagree about the specifics of immigration, but I hope that as a country we can come to a place where we acknowledge how important immigration and immigrants have been to who we are as Americans, to why we have led in economic revolution after economic revolution."

Christian, Clark to transfer
Published: Tuesday, October 25, 2011 at 4:38 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, October 25, 2011 at 4:38 p.m.
Unhappy with a lack of playing time, former Palm Beach Dwyer teammates Gerald Christian and Robert Clark have decided to transfer from the Florida program, UF coach Will Muschamp announced Tuesday.
"Both of these players have expressed a desire for more playing time and felt it would be in their best interests to transfer," Muschamp said. "We wish them both the best of luck and appreciate their contributions to the program."
Christian, a tight end, and Clark, a wide receiver, are the eighth and ninth players to leave the program since Muschamp took over in December. The Gators now have only 72 scholarship players, 13 below the NCAA limit.
"I'm looking for an opportunity to play more," Christian said in a UF release. "I have no bad feelings about Florida or the coaching staff. I just want to get a fresh start and see the field more."
Christian, a true sophomore, had four catches this season, including a 40-yard touchdown reception at Kentucky.
Clark was a backup receiver who played on special teams that past two seasons.
"I've enjoyed being a part of the Gator program, but at the same time I'm excited about future opportunities to play more," Clark said. "I will have nothing but good memories from my time in Gainesville."
Offensive coordinator Charlie Weis said after practice on Tuesday that he wished the two well.
"We didn't lose them, they decided to go," Weis said. "Both of them surprised me to tell you the truth. They practiced last week every day. I mean, you'd think if you were going to quit, you'd quit last week. Why would you go through bye week practice?
"That caught me off-guard, let me just say."
The others who have left the program are cornerback Janoris Jenkins, running back Mike Blakely, receivers Chris Dunkley and Javares McRoy and linebackers Chris Martin, Mike McFarland and Dee Finley.

Students Rock Foundation is a charitable corporation based in the Northern California SF Bay Area. We provide scholarships based on financial need for students wishing to participate in performing arts enrichment programs not officially associated with a school district. Students Rock Foundation enables students to explore, learn, and achieve, in a variety of programs such as music, choral, theatre or dance and more.
Students Rock Foundation was founded by a group of parents whose families' lives were enriched by their participation in music, dance, theatre and other performing arts classes in the SF Bay Area. Since participation in these activities can be expensive and out of the reach of many families, we realized how important it would be to provide opportunities for those without the monetary means to enroll in performing arts enrichment classes. By bringing social and economic diversity to these programs, all participating students and families are enriched.
