[JURIST] The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) [official website] on Wednesday charged [complaint, PDF; press release] accountant David Friehling with fraud for his alleged role in the securities fraud scheme committed by financier Bernard Madoff [JURIST news archive]. In the complaint, the SEC alleges that Friehling and his accounting firm made fraudulent representations that they had audited Madoff's records in accordance with Generally Accepted Auditing Standards [text, PDF], even though they had not, that these misrepresentations had enabled Madoff's scheme, and that the firm profited from the fraud. Because of these allegations, Friehling faces charges under the Securities Act [15 USC § 77 text], the Exchange Act [15 USC § 78 text], and the Advisers Act [15 USC § 80 text]. If found guilty, he faces up to 105 years in prison and would have to return any profit he made from the fraud.Last week, Madoff pleaded guilty [JURIST report] to 11 charges of securities fraud [complaint, PDF; JURIST report]. Last month, Madoff consented [JURIST report] to a partial judgment [SEC press release] with the SEC over civil charges brought by the SEC to obtain a preliminary injunction and asset freeze against him. The same day, SEC Division of Enforcement Director Linda Thomsen announced she was stepping down from her post [SEC press release]. In the week following Madoff's charges, SEC Chairman Christopher Cox [official profile] said that he would launch an immediate investigation [press release; JURIST report] into how the fraud allegedly perpetrated by Madoff went undetected for so long. In December, then-President-elect Barack Obama [official profile] named [press release] Mary Schapiro [professional profile] as the SEC Chairman, replacing Cox.
[JURIST] The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) [advocacy website] on Tuesday called on US Attorney General Eric Holder [official profile; JURIST news archive] to commission a special prosecutor [letter, PDF; press release] to investigate tactics used by CIA interrogators against terrorism suspects. ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero said in a letter to Holder that recently published characterizations [NYRB op-ed; JURIST report] of CIA methods as torture by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) [official website], combined with other evidence, obligated the attorney general to investigate the allegations. Romero said that those suspected in engaging in or facilitating torture should then be prosecuted under the War Crimes Act [18 USC § 2441 text] and the Anti-Torture Act [18 USC § 2340 text], and that the statute of limitations for some of the alleged offenses would expire in less than a year:
There Is Broad Authority to Investigate and Prosecute Torture Crimes, Including Any Crimes in Ordering or Authorizing Torture: Based on prior government investigations, documents obtained by the ACLU through our FOIA litigation, and numerous media reports, there is credible evidence that acts authorized, ordered, and committed by government officials constitute violations of federal criminal statutes. Although the political debate about whether acts such as waterboarding are torture has caused confusion in some press accounts, waterboarding and other forms of torture and abuse clearly violate existing federal criminal laws, including the War Crimes Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2441, the Anti-Torture Act, 18 U.S.C. §§ 2340-2340A, and federal statutes that criminalize conduct such as assaults by or against U.S. nationals in overseas facilities used by the federal government. There also are numerous federal criminal laws against obstructing or interfering with government investigations or court proceedings. [emphasis omitted]
[JURIST] A US magistrate judge in South Carolina ruled Wednesday that suspected al Qaeda operative Ali Saleh Kahlah al-Marri [NYT profile; JURIST news archive] must remain in prison as the criminal case against him proceeds. Judge Robert Carr denied al-Marri's request to be freed on bail, finding that he had failed to prove that he was not a danger to the community [Bloomberg report], despite his lawyer's assurance that he could be placed in a secure location until his trial. Al-Marri is scheduled to be arraigned in federal court in Illinois on Monday. It is unclear when he will be transferred from South Carolina.Last week, the US Supreme Court [official website; JURIST news archive] granted [order, PDF; JURIST report] a motion [text, PDF] by the US government to dismiss as moot an appeal challenging al-Marri's indefinite detention, following the Obama administration's decision to try al-Marri in US federal court [JURIST report]. Al-Marri was indicted [indictment text; DOJ press release] earlier this month on two charges of providing material support to al Qaeda and conspiring with others to provide material support to al Qaeda. In January, shortly after taking office, President Barack Obama ordered an immediate review [JURIST report] of al-Marri's detention. Al-Marri was arrested at his home in Peoria, Illinois by civilian authorities in 2001, and was indicted for other crimes. In 2003, then-President George W. Bush declared him an enemy combatant [CNN report] and ordered the attorney general to transfer custody of al-Marri to the defense secretary, claiming inherent authority to hold him indefinitely.
[JURIST] The High Constitutional Court [official website, in French] of Madagascar [BBC backgrounder] announced in a radio address Wednesday that it would accept the military's decision [L'Express report, in French] to install opposition leader Andry Rajoelina [Reuters profile] as the country's new president, one day after the resignation of President Marc Ravalomanana [BBC profile]. The court approved the presidency of 34-year-old Rajoelina despite a requirement in Madagascar's constitution [text, PDF] that the president be at least 40 years of age, declaring that his presidency would be legal for a maximum two-year term [China Daily report]. Ravalomanana passed control of the government to the military Tuesday after months of violence in hopes it would run the nation under a military directorate. The military subsequently passed power to Rajoelina, a former mayor of Madagascar's capital city of Antananarivo who had led protests against Ravalomanana's government. Members of the African Union [official website; JURIST news archive] have since decried Rajoelina's appointment as unconstitutional, indicating that the move may amount to a coup. Madagascar has faced increasing political violence over the last two months leading to dozens of deaths. In February the police opened fire on anti-Ravalomanana demonstrators, killing 28 [BBC report]. Rajoelina was fired as mayor of Antananarivo [BBC report] in late January following his declaration that he was in charge of Madagascar and his failed efforts to impeach Ravalomanana. Much of the public unrest stemmed from criticisms that Ravalomanana failed to alleviate poverty, as well as his unpopular decision to shut down a television station [BBC report] owned by Rajoelina after the station aired an interview with one of Ravalomanana's former adversaries.
[JURIST] UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay [official profile; JURIST news archive] on Tuesday praised [UN News Centre report; UN press briefing] the reinstatement [JURIST report] of Pakistan Supreme Court Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry [JURIST news archive]. Pillay's spokesman called the move "an important step in the process of restoring the rule of law in Pakistan," adding that judicial integrity is needed if Pakistan is to make progress in upholding human rights laws such as the UN Convention against Torture [text]. Pillay also praised Pakistani pledges to release activists arrested in recent protests, and called for leaders to end bans on public demonstrations.Pakistan Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani [BBC profile] announced early Monday that the government would reinstate Chaudhry in response to recent protests by members of the lawyers' movement and opposition politicians and supporters. The news was welcomed [JURIST report] by members of the Pakistani lawyers' movement, who rallied at Chaudhry's home [Geo TV report] Monday, as well as by international groups including the European Union, the UK, and the Association of Pakistani Lawyers. Gilani also ordered government officials to release [Dawn report] anyone arrested during the past week's so-called "long march" [JURIST reports].
[JURIST] The administration of US President Barack Obama [official website] intends to endorse a UN declaration that calls for decriminalizing homosexuality, according to an anonymous official quoted in a Tuesday Associated Press report [text]. In December, the Bush administration declined to sign the statement signed by 66 other nations [UN press release, JURIST report]. The Bush administration offered the rationale that although the US also opposes sexual orientation discrimination, the federal government could not sign a statement which may have bound the US on matters pertaining to state jurisdiction. Among those states declining to support the statement were China, Russia, members of the Islamic Conference, and the Roman Catholic Church. The US Congress has yet to be notified of Obama's decision. Officials who spoke under conditions of anonymity said the Obama administration intends to continue to be vocal in its stance toward defending human rights. Gay rights have been a contentious issue worldwide with little global consensus. In November, the parliament of Burundi criminalized homosexuality, and the Supreme Court of Nepal approved same-sex marriages [JURIST reports]. In October, the Portuguese parliament voted overwhelmingly against proposals to legalize same-sex marriage [JURIST report]. In the US, same-sex marriages are now permitted in Massachusetts and Connecticut [JURIST report]. Earlier this week the Vermont legislature began debating a bill [JURIST report] that would legalize same-sex marriage. In November, same-sex marriage bans passed [JURIST report] in California, Arizona, and Florida.2:12 PM ET: The US State Department has issued an official statement [text] that the US is "is pleased to join the other 66 UN member states who have declared their support of this Statement that condemns human rights violations based on sexual orientation and gender identity wherever they occur."
[JURIST] US President Barack Obama [official website] on Tuesday nominated [press release] Judge David Hamilton [official profile] to serve on the US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit [official website], thereby moving to fill the first of 15 federal appellate vacancies [DOJ materials]. Hamilton previously served for 14 years as a district judge for the US District Court for the Southern District of Indiana [official website] before having been appointed Chief Justice of that court in January 2008. Obama attributed his decision to Hamilton's reputation as a mainstream jurist:
Judge Hamilton has a long and impressive record of service and a history of handing down fair and judicious decisions. He will be a thoughtful and distinguished addition to the Seventh Circuit and I am extremely pleased to put him forward to serve the people of Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin.
[JURIST] The Iraqi Cabinet [official website, in Arabic] urged the Presidency Council [official website, in Arabic] Tuesday to ratify death sentences against three former Saddam Hussein officials. The sentences have been delayed because two of the members, President Jalal Talabani and Vice-President Tariq al-Hashemi, have opposed the sentences [AP report] of Hashim al-Taie and Hussein Rashid Mohammed, alleging that both men's roles in the 1988 Anfal campaign against ethnic Kurds [HRW backgrounder] were coerced on threats of death by Saddam Hussein. In accordance with Iraqi law, all three members of the Iraqi Presidential Council must approve the measures. The death sentences and convictions of al-Taie, Mohammed, and Hassan al-Majid, known as "Chemical Ali" [JURIST news archive], were upheld [JURIST report] by the Appeals Chamber of the Iraqi High Tribunal in September 2007 on charges of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity in connection to the 1988 Anfal campaign."Chemical Ali" has received two other death sentences in connection with the killings of rioting protesters [JURIST report] in Baghdad and Amarah following the alleged assassination of a prominent Shiite cleric, and for his involvement in the repression of Shiite protesters [JURIST report] in southern Iraq following the 1991 Persian Gulf War. Earlier this month, he was also sentenced to fifteen years [JURIST report] for his involvement in the 1992 murders of 42 merchants accused of price-gouging during a period of UN-imposed sanctions. Earlier this week, Amnesty International (AI) [advocacy website] urged Iraq to commute the 128 death sentences [AI report] that have ratified and to reinstate a death penalty moratorium, alleging that "Iraqi trials do not always conform to international fair trial standards."
[JURIST] The US Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals [official website] upheld [opinion, DOC] Tuesday a military judge's dismissal [JURIST report] of the charges against Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani [JURIST news archive], the top-ranking US Marine to face court-martial [JURIST news archive] in the killing of 24 Iraqis [BBC backgrounder] in Haditha [JURIST news archive]. The court affirmed the appearance of "unlawful command influence" [JAG backgrounder] when a lawyer who had investigated the case sat in on meetings at which the case was discussed with the general who ultimately decided to charge Chessani. The court cited the government's failure to bring evidence to negate the appearance of unlawful command influence:
[A]n objective, disinterested observer, fully informed of all the facts and circumstances, would harbor significant doubt about the fairness of this proceeding. Thus, we are left to conclude that the Government has failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt there was no apparent [unlawful command influence].
[JURIST] A three-judge panel of the US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit [official website] upheld [opinion, PDF] Tuesday a district court decision finding former El Salvador chief military commander Nicolas Carranza [CJA backgrounder] liable for murder and torture committed during the El Salvador civil war [PBS backgrounder] in the 1980s. In 2005, a Tennessee federal jury found Carranza liable [JURIST report] for acts of murder and torture in El Salvador under the Alien Tort Statute (ATS) and the Torture Victims Protection Act (TVPA) [texts]. Carranza had appealed the jury verdict, claiming that the district court abused its discretion by holding that extraordinary circumstances justified equitable tolling of the statute of limitations, not granting comity to a Salvadoran amnesty law, and making various evidentiary rulings. He also argued that the district court erred in its jury instruction concerning command responsibility. In the opinion, Judge Eugene Siler addressed the Sixth Circuit's reasons for upholding the district court's decision to allow equitable tolling of the statute of limitations for claims under the ATS and the TVPA:
We have identified five factors a district court should consider when determining whether to equitably toll the statute of limitations: (1) lack of notice of the filing requirement, (2) lack of constructive knowledge of the filing requirement, (3) diligence in pursuing ones rights, (4) absence of prejudice to the defendant, and (5) the plaintiffs reasonableness in remaining ignorant of the particular legal requirement. ... In sum, we conclude that the ten-year limitations period applicable to TVPA claims also governs claims under the ATS, equitable tolling principles apply, and the existence of extraordinary circumstances provides a justification for the application of the equitable tolling doctrine.
[JURIST] A Russian court Tuesday refused a request by defense lawyers to drop new embezzlement and money laundering charges [JURIST reports] against former Russian oil executive Mikhail Khodorkovsky [defense website; JURIST news archive] and his former business partner Platon Lebedev [defense website]. The court also rejected a request by defense lawyers to have the case returned to state prosecutors [ITAR-TASS report] for further investigation. The lawyers for Khodorkovsky and Lebedev expressed incredulity [RIA Novosti report] at the court's decisions, and warned prosecutors and the court that the case would not result in easy convictions of the two. Khodorkovsky and Lebedev are accused of illegally taking approximately $20 billion from Russian energy firm OAO Yukos Oil Co. [TIME backgrounder], but challenged the allegations, asserting that the evidence against them was insufficient [RIA Novosti report] to sustain the prosecution. If found guilty, Khodorkovsky could face 22 years in jail in addition to the eight years he is already serving for fraud and tax evasion.Their trial on the charges began earlier this month [JURIST report]. Their request to have the charges dropped comes one day after Judge Viktor Danilkin refused to recuse himself [St. Petersburg Times report] from the case amid accusations of bias. Critics have claimed that the charges against Khodorkovsky and Lebedev are politically motivated due to Khodorkovsky's opposition of former Russian president Vladimir Putin [JURIST news archive]. The transfer of the two from prison to Moscow to stand trial on the new charges was ordered [JURIST report] last month by a judge for the District Court in Moscow. Khodorkovsky still maintains that his 2005 conviction [JURIST report] on the fraud and tax evasion was unjust, and maintains his innocence. He requested early release from that sentence last July, but his application was rejected [JURIST reports] in August because he disobeyed guards at the Krasnokamensk penal colony [Guardian backgrounder], refused to participate in a training program, and faced the possibility of additional charges. Khodorkovsky has appealed [JURIST report] that decision.

Journal Sentinel TV and film critic Duane Dudek looks at life on the small and big screen, and some of the cool stuff on both.
The Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Smell of Fear
Below is my 1994 review of "The Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Smell of Fear," with Leslie Nielsen, who died Sunday at the age of 84. See my previous blog item on his life and. career.
The "Naked Gun" films were - like "Airplane" before them - written, produced and directed by Shorewood natives Jerry and David Zucker and Whitefish Bay native Jim Abrahams. Neilsen, a former dramatic actor who became a comic icon, had a long relationship with Milwaukee, which included appearances at the Lombardi Golf Classic.
Here are some promos Nielsen did for the tournament, produced by Milwaukee-based Midland Video. Scroll to the bottom of the page. And watch a trailer for "Naked Gun 33 1/3" below.
Z is for funny: New Zucker film romps along, thanks to Nielsen
By Duane Dudek
Z is for the zany films they give us
U is for their ubiquity
C is for their Chaplinesque use of sight gags
K is the third letter in N-A-K-E-D
E is for their existential subtext
R is for the rating they avoid
Put them all together and they spell Zucker
Whose movies countless millions have enjoyed.
"Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult" is another critic-proof romp from the Shorewood native filmmaker David Zucker who, with his brother and partner, created "Airplane" and the "Police Squad" television series, a cop show parody that the films are based on.
"Final Insult" starts strong, ends strong and sags in the middle, just like Lt. Frank Drebin's sex life.
This time, the professionally inept and accidentally effective Drebin, an American Clouseau played by Leslie Nielsen is not just retired but domesticated.
Married to Priscilla Presley, he watches TV soaps while ironing, greets visitors in an apron and fuzzy pink slippers and serves cupcakes, awaiting compliments on his frosting.
At the supermarket, he's likely to get his face slapped squeezing melons, if you know what I mean.
But he's firing blanks, if you know what I mean, and the anxiety gives him nightmares, like "The Untouchables" parody that opens the film.
So when ex-associates and fellow simpletons George Kennedy and O.J. Simpson ask his help to catch a terrorist, the game is afoot and Drebin is all thumbs.
The film has a trio of set pieces. The first occurs in a fertility clinic, where Drebin must donate sperm. I think we all can predict how that one plays out. The second is inside prison, giving Zucker, who produced and co-wrote but for the first time did not direct, a chance to spoof prison movie cliches.
And the third is at the Academy Awards ceremony. This Oscar stuff is inspired.Well, not inspired, but the high-energy collection of sight gags and physical humor is as good as any sequence in the series.
The prison scenes are a flat bit of exposition, introducing terrorist Fred Ward. And the fertility clinic scenes ring of Beavis and Butt-head and Benny Hill. To my eye, the film is more leering than the others, the camera endlessly ogling large-breasted Guess Jeans and Playboy model Anna Nicole Smith whose legs go on forever, literally, but whose "Crying Game" secret is seen in comic silhouette.
Nielsen is the best, lips apart as if uttering a silent "whoops," eyebrows raised in bewilderment, eyes darting as if hoping no one saw that -- a toothless guard dog speaking in tongues.
Thanks to him, the "Naked Gun" series could, like Smith's legs, go on forever.

Where to Put All the Snow
This is going to take a while to clean up. We came darned close to setting a new snowfall record in February.
This is going to take a while to clean up. We came darned close to setting a new snowfall record in February.
A Greek car repair shop owner has discovered a lucrative sideline - modifying cars into agricultural machinery for farmers. More than a million cars had been abandoned by their owners unable to sell them and unable to afford to keep them on the road in the cash-strapped country
LeAnn Rimes is on top of her social media game. The 31-year-old wouldn't let a little trip to the hospital keep her from staying in touch with her 532,000 Twitter followers.
I was looking for something for dinner this weekend and ran across this recipe. I thought the recipe was a little plain the way it was, so I spiced it up a little bit. I was sure my boys would like it since it had tater tots, but was really surprised when my husband loved it.
She seriously hasn't shot a gun since she was a teen! I thought I was gonna spend half the afternoon on a lesson on how to sight. But some people just kinda get it...and she gets it! A couple missed shots but in all fairness, she'd already shot the Ruger LCP and the Taurus 992 in both
Missoula County Public Schools have declared yet another snow day for Monday, March 3rd, due to concern for teachers and staff attempting to attend.
According to YouTube Trends Map, these were the most viewed videos in the state of Montana this week.
The 2014 Oscar winners were announced Sunday, March 2 during the awards ceremony, hosted by celebrated comedienne Ellen DeGeneres and broadcast live by ABC.
Here's a look at some of the biggest stories trending in Montana.
The avalanche that rumbled down Mount Jumbo late Friday afternoon was set up by bands of heavy snow, followed by warm temperatures, more snow, and strong winds.
On Friday, February 28, an avalanche destroyed two homes in lower Rattlesnake. A man, a single mother and her 10-year-old daughter were able to escape, but their fourth family member, 8-year-old Phoenix Scoles, was trapped for 45 minutes before being rescued.
Recently a friend posted this video on Facebook. I'm usually picky about what videos I watch that people post, otherwise I would be watching videos all day. I would never get any work done. However, this video intrigued me.

Player diary: Brad Dalke (Part 1)
Brad Dalke proposes to Natalie Gulbis
Some kids talk a big game, but Brad Dalke backed up his profession of future love to Natalie Gulbis.
Brad Dalke joins the Golfweek.com staff as a player blogger for the 2013 junior golf season. Here's his first player diary, which he wrote from Las Vegas, where his was competing in the Winn Junior Cup:
• • •
I'm Brad Dalke. This is my first blog for Golfweek. I'm excited to bring you some stories and results about golf and my life.
I'm 15 years old and I live in McKinney, Texas, a northern suburb of Dallas. I'm the youngest of seven kids (and Uncle Brad to three nieces and three nephews).
I became the youngest person to ever win an AJGA Invitational when I won the 2011 Thunderbird International Junior. I am also the youngest to verbally commit to play college golf – I committed to the University of Oklahoma when I was 12 years old. I chose Oklahoma because my parents and grandparents went there and they are developing something really special in their golf program with Coach (Ryan) Hybl and Coach (Blake) Smart in charge.
My dad actually started on the 1975 National Championship football team as a linebacker. Crimson and Cream is just in the blood!
I currently attend the Jim McLean Junior Academy in Fort Worth, Texas, and my instructor is Joey Wuertemberger. Joey has been my instructor since I was 9 years old. He has been a huge part of my success. This is my third year in the academy and I feel like I have improved so much from the start. I thank God everyday for giving me the talent and the opportunity to play the wonderful sport of golf.
I like to do a lot of things outside of golf. I like to play about any sport for fun. My favorite video games are the Call of Duty, NBA 2K and NCAA Football series. An interesting fact about me is that I bowl better left-handed than I do right-handed.
I just played the AJGA Winn Junior Cup Challenge at Rio Secco Golf Club in Henderson, Nev., near Las Vegas. The tournament is an East vs. West competition with two girls and two boys on both sides. My teammates were Cameron Champ, Alison Lee and Andrea Lee. The East team consisted of Adam Wood, Jim Liu, Casey Danielson and Nicole Morales.
The East captain was Butch Harmon and my West captain was Natalie Gulbis, who I built up the nerve to "propose" to at the 2011 Evian Masters in France when I was there competing in the Evian Junior Cup. She was really cool about it and accepted!
The West won pretty big in the Winn Junior Cup. It was a lot of fun getting to play with Cameron, who seemed to have averaged about 450 yards with his drives over the weekend! He is the longest hitter I have ever played with.
On Saturday night we had a game of laser tag, which my green team lost. Thanks a lot, Alison! After the last day of the tournament, Cameron, Adam and I went down to the strip and walked around. We were wanting to ride the roller coaster in New York, New York, but it was closed probably because we were seeing our breath outside. I hope I get to come back next year because the environment is so much fun.
It was another outstanding event run by the AJGA and sponsored by Winn Grips. Thanks to Mike and Don from Winn Grips for making sure we had everything we needed!
My next tournament will be the Jones Cup Amateur Jan. 31-Feb. 3 in Sea Island, Ga. An OU golfer, Charlie Saxon, and I have already scheduled a practice round together. It will be my second really big amateur event, so we'll see how I can hang with the college boys.
I played in the Trans-Mississippi Amateur last July and finished eighth. After that I'll get to travel four hours south to The Woodlands, Texas, to play in the AJGA HP Invitational Feb. 15-18 at Carlton Woods Country Club. I didn't play my best last year so I'm gonna get revenge this year.
Thank you so much for reading and I hope you enjoy the future blogs to come!
And . . . Boomer Sooner!

I think it's a bit a of a simple design. You have a radial gradient+flat splash, try putting more depth and complexity to it.
I'd go with something that Titan18 said above, especally with the depth. Try to add some shadows…around the splashes, make it look like its poping out…or it's actually on top of the actual background.
Well… I agree with the guys here.
The design is too simple and the curves need a little more work. I think it don't look like a liquid shape.
Try to add some details on it.
Good luck.
hmm..one more comment, typography wise needs to be improved.
Good luck!
good concept but design is very simple, and also experiment with the text.

2012 Buick LaCrosse eAssist Live Shots
Enlarge PhotoTo date, Buick and "fuel economy" haven't often been used in the same sentence.
But the 2012 Buick LaCrosse, the brand's largest surviving car, will offer one engine option that's projected to deliver 25 mpg city, 37 mpg highway.
That's not bad for a midsize near-luxury sedan (though 1 mpg lower on city mileage than Buick had hoped).
We've just driven a development prototype of the 2012 LaCrosse fitted with the eAssist system that will be standard on the 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, the smaller of two engines (the other is a 3.6-liter V-6).
Electric "boost"
It includes not only a start-stop function, saving gasoline when the car isn't moving, it also recaptures electric power via regenerative braking and stores it for use by an electric motor that assists the gasoline engine in short bursts.
2010 Buick LaCrosse
Enlarge PhotoThat's what allows this "mild hybrid" system to improve fuel economy on the highway as well as in the city. The eAssist system was unveiled as an option for the 2012 Buick Regal at the Chicago Auto Show too; both cars will go on sale by the end of the year.
For 2011, the 2.4-liter engine is rated by the EPA at 19 mpg city, 30 mpg highway. So an increase to 25 mpg city, 37 mpg highway would be substantial: more than 30 percent in the city, almost 25 percent on the highway.
The big question is: Does the LaCrosse with eAssist drive like a Buick?
Imperceptible start-stop
In a word, yes. The engine switching itself off and on was completely imperceptible in the prototype we drove, which engineers cautioned wasn't yet a final production vehicle.
Without looking at either of two dashboard displays or the tachometer--which has an "AutoStop" zone replacing the "0" on a standard gauge--we couldn't feel the engine switching off and didn't notice anything as it switched back on.
Acceleration wasn't swift--this is a large sedan powered by a smallish engine--but Buick claims the eAssist model is a few fractions of a second quicker to accelerate from rest to 60 mph, a statistic we couldn't verify in our half-hour drive.
Acceleration dip
The one telltale was a momentary dip in acceleration after the vehicle moved away from a stop. It was the kind of thing that might well be eliminated by the time the vehicle reaches showrooms late this year.
Buick eAssist Hybrid Technology
Enlarge PhotoAnd Buick engineers have put a great deal of effort into making the system quiet and smooth. Engine mounts were extensively retuned, since the engine weighs more with the larger starter-alternator and the weight is distributed differently.
They even use quick pulsing of the electric motor--again, imperceptible to the driver--to compensate for engine vibrations under certain conditions. It all seems to work fine.
High-end howling
One advantage of the eAssist mild hybrid system is that it keeps engine speeds lower, by feeding in electric "boost" where the previous 2.4-liter LaCrosse engine would have had to shift down a gear to provide power.
The downside is that when full power is needed, and the transmission does shift down a gear or even two, the engine is correspondingly much louder than it otherwise has been under normal use, where it mostly sits between 1,500 and 2,000 rpm.
Revving up well past 4,000 rpm causes the engine to howl from up there under the hood. It's startling simply because the car has been so hushed and sedate otherwise.

"Aliens" LEGACY 9 disc SET !!!!!!
thanks to Robodan for the headsup...
this does not look like fake coz this fyer/leaflet is included in the Xmen 1.5 DVD set
it will be a 9 disc set..
release month: September
Each of the four Alien films be presented as 2-disc 5 Star SE's.
Two of the discs will apparently be taken up with the original Alien Legacy bonus disc and a recent AMC 'Alien Saga' TV special documentary.
Alien will apparently boast a new 6 channel audio track.
Alien ³ will be the extended cut (but not Director approved, as Fincher has totally disowned the movie).
Leading retailer DVDepot have posted the rumoured preliminary specs for Septembers Alien Quadrilogy boxset.
The good news, according to their sources, is that the Alien 3 package will include David Fincher's original vision of the movie, which should be interesting to say the least. Full rumoured specs below.
"Alien: will include 14 deleted scenes for a total of 15
more minutes of the movie.
Aliens: will allow viewers to choose between the Theatrical version, which has never been available on DVD before, and the Cameron, Director's cut
Alien 3: will include David Fincher's 2 hr. 50 min original version of the movie, which has never been released.
Alien Resurrection: will feature an alternate opening and ending (crash on Earth).
And for the 9th bonus disc, which will include over 3 hours of material:
Alien Legacy - Was a free mail-in offer
Alien Evolution - BBC Documentary
Darkhorse Alien Comics
Darkhorse Alien vs. Predator
Complete Laser Disc features - so can throw away laser discs and have everything imaginable in this boxset
September 2003
Remember all DVD contents/extras and release date is subject to change "
The Ultimate All-New Alien Boxset, loaded with hours of never before seen extras!
Of course these rumours are subject to change over the coming months and there is still no word on the technical specifications, such as soundtracks etc. Needless to say, all appetites have been truly whetted though.

Yeah, I'm guessing that Fox will do the usual with their other catalog titles. Each film will have a 2-disc set, and there will be another disc full of other extras!
Can we finally see an Alien 3 Special Edition??? My oh my...what fun we will have!
(Ironically, I started work on a trailer for the original Alien last week. Seems like I started working on it right on time!)
Thank God I didn't buy the first box set
I'm glad I'll own both box sets. I'm pretty sure 85-90% of the content will be new material for this new set.
Besides, I don't mind double-dipping anyway!
Thanks a lot for the info, tisoy. BTW, do you know if the movies will be available seperately ?
9 discs? A NINE DISC SET???
Now I'm pretty f***ed.
Thank God I didn't buy the first box set... on R1.
Now if the price of this set is around $US100-$US150, (or better still under $100) I'll go for it.Last edited by editman; 01-28-2003 at 05:32 PM.

Trolls destroyed the Forum
my DVD/blu-ray List
from around the net
Yep, the Digital Bits transcribed a webcast with a Fox executive who said "Alien would be huge in 2003". Nine discs seems feasible with 2-disc SE's of each movie and Sir Ridley Scott's new (supposed) preference for 3-discers! Unless of course the ninth disc will merely be a repressing of the "fifth" disc from the original boxset...
And directors cuts of both Alien3 and Ressurection are rumoured.
http://www.thedigitalbits.comThere's an insert that's been included with Fox's X-Men 1.5: Special Edition DVD, which reveals a major upcoming release from the studio - the 9-disc Alien Quadrilogy box set! All four films in the series, Alien, Aliens, Alien 3 and Alien: Resurrection, are being given brand new special edition treatment (2-discs each) with a separate bonus disc of extra materials. Many of the extras on the set have never been seen before. There's no release date announced yet, but the title is set to be released in "2003". Click here to see a scan of the insert itself, and here's the tentative cover art for the box set...
If that is true then I will be needing plenty of new pants cum release.

I don't really want Alien 5, I don't want Terminator 3, I don't want Back to The Future 4 ... no... some people should know when it is enough - don't push fame and luck until it is too late.

hey. land b4 times are kiddy movies.. they dont care if its a sequel or not.... as long as its cartoons =P
anyway more infos on the Alien DVDs
Here's something really cool: 20th Century Fox has revealed the first look at their upcoming Alien collection. Calling it the Alien Quadrilogy (actually the word should be "Tetralogy," but whatever), this 9-disc set will come loaded with never-before-seen extras. I guess that the collection will contain 2-disc sets of all four films plus a bonus disc that would either be the mail-away Alien Legacy documentary from the first box set, or it could be the new documentary produced for AMC (and which aired over the holidays). I must also mention that this set is rumored to contain a lengthened, but not director-approved, cut of the atrocious Alien 3 as well as the true 6-track surround mix for the first Alien (the current DVD mistakenly used a 4.0 track to create the "5.1" audio). Please check back as official word on all of this emerges. (thanks to Caleb and Dino for the scan)
6 track mix for Alien .. wow .. now if they also did this with Blade Runner, I am sure they will... its Ridley Scott anyway and he knows how to take care of his DVD releases =)

Response to: OK Tom
I will have to retract my previous comment about removing myself from the conversation. I did read the LGPL Tom, and you are seriously mistaken if you think that license means that the originator (copyright holder) cannot close the source. The LGPL is a license to distribute source code to an end user (who will probably also happen to be a developer):

> I mean that JBoss group as a copyright holder can close source at any time.
And I keep telling you JBoss Group does not own the copyright to the code. You seem to be having trouble grasping this simple fact. The developers each own copyright to their respective code. When you contribute code to JBoss, you are not asked to give up your copyright.
Marc Fleury owns the trademark to the JBoss brand. Trademark is not copyright.
> Lutris was IN FACT open source.
Lutris makes (made?) many products. Enterprise Enhydra was their planned J2EE offering. It was never released under an Open Source license, and the reason given by the Lutris representatives on articles and forum postings is because Sun does not allow J2EE certified vendors to distribute the source code under an Open Source license. These statements are easy to find on the web. Even by you, Matt.
> Enhydra was based on JOnAS, which is Open Source.
Yes it is. And as far as I understand, Lutris' plan was to base their J2EE product (Enterprise Enhydra) on JOnAS EJB container. Nothing mysterious about that. However, JOnAS is not certified by Sun, and according to Lutris representatives they were unable to negotiate a license with Sun that would allow them to certify an Open Source J2EE application server.
For someone claiming to follow the industry closely, you sure do spout alot of bullshit without bothering to check even the basic facts.

22-Year Old Girl Tries To Eat 69-Year Old Man's Face Off In Alleged Vampire Attack (At Hooters)
Seen here with the tell-tale vampire underbite, 22-year old Josephine Smith was charged with aggravated battery after trying to eat the face off a 69-year old man in a motorized scooter on the porch of an abandoned Hooters restaurant. Hey -- truth is stranger than fiction. But Twilight is still clearly to blame here.
Morton Ellis, 69, said he fell asleep after parking his wheelchair on the porch of a vacant Hooters to escape the rain.
He said the woman, 22-year-old Josephine Rebecca Smith, told him she was a vampire as she bit off chunks of his face and part of his lip.Ellis managed to fend her off and called police. Officers found Smith at the restaurant, half naked and covered in blood.
No word if gramps tasted like turkey jerky. Also -- what exactly is the definition of half naked? Was she topless? I only ask for my own mental picture. And, okay, this doodle I've been working on. See? She has little bats for nipples!
UPDATE: She was actually bottomless. *crumpling paper* Fetch my pastels.

Our group of 9 just returned from a week's stay at the Levitt house. I hesitate to rave because we want to keep this gem for ourselves! The house is homey, the location is perfect, and the owners are exceptionally accommodating. I have never rented a house that was so well stocked. You don't have to bring anything except a beach chair and umbrella! The housekeeping group, Reflections, does a superb job; the house was spotless.Did you find this review helpful?

The Levitt home was perfect for our family get together. The home is so comfortable and accommodated our 3 families easily. It was such a treat to wake up and have coffee on the deck overlooking the ocean and sunrises. Between the pool and the ocean, much swimming was done by all! We cooked all of our meals in home since there was no better dinner with a view!! The owner was wonderful to work with! The home was in immaculate condition and well stocked in all areas. Would love the opportunity to stay here again and would most definitely recommend this property for anyone's next vacation. This home is a gem in a beautiful location! Thank you for this opportunity and for sharing your home with us.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

Our family recently enjoyed a wonderful week at this delightful home on Hilton Head Island. The house itself was attractive, comfortable, cozy, and very well equipped. We love to cook and found the kitchen to have everything we could possibly need. We were also pleased to find basics such as laundry detergent and soaps and shampoos! Most enjoyable though were the incredible views from all around the house - it was a joy to sit on the covered porch in the mornings and evenings and gaze out at the stunning ocean view. The house was set back just enough from the beach to ensure privacy; the ocean was just a few short steps away from the back door. Every morning we all thoroughly enjoyed getting up, fixing our warm beverage of choice and strolling out to watch the beautiful sunrise over the ocean. The waves were perfect for body surfing, and the ocean was incredibly warm! And then of course there was the heated lovely pool which our children absolutely adored. Finally, the owners Ted and Vicky were so helpful and accommodating. We highly recommend this home and hope to return again very soon!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

Absolutely perfect place for a family vacation. Our gang included grandparents, our 2 daughters' families with grandkids - ages 3 to 10. House was super in all respects – spacious, meticulously clean and everything you would need and then some. House has the charm of true beach home, but with all the modern amenities. Beach was fantastic and pool was great. Ran out of time in a week to do everything on our activity list. But thoroughly enjoyed bike riding, zodiac dolphin excursion, kayaking, pirate cruise (little corny, but good fun for the younger kids), sing – a- long with Greg Russell in Harbor Town, tennis at south Beach club (hour/day of court time comes with house – nice clay courts), time on the expansive and clean beach and cooling off in the pool. Got talked out of parasailing, but maybe next time. Bottom line: Wonderful spot for a family get together. Highly recommended and we plan on retuningDid you find this review helpful?

What a great place! This was our first trip to Hilton Head and we loved staying in your home. The walk out to the beach is short and sweet, and the pool was really nice. We loved how the beach seemed different each day-tons of beautiful wildlife including dolphins to be seen right off the back porch. We loved the Sea Pines forest preserve and riding our rented bikes on the beach and all over! The house had everything we could want. We grilled lunch and ate at the table by the pool. I felt like your home had more privacy than the newer homes along the same stretch of beach. Thanks for everything!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

"I wanted to write you and tell you how much we loved your home. We had a simply amazing time. The weather was great. I adore the authenticity of the house and the location is superb. Is it a Sea Pine original? We celebrated my daughter's second birthday and I couldn't keep my son off the beach! We will definitely be back. Thank you for the memories and I wish you well." (N.B., in answer to the question, our place was the 65th home built in Sea Pines. It was totally renovated in 1998 (and updated since then) to keep it current while we think retaining its original Low Country character).Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

My family really loved our stay at your Sea Pines house over Thanksgiving! The younger generation prepared the turkey dinner and the large and extremely well-equipped kitchen was perfect. We loved being right on our favorite beach and walking miles and miles everyday - the morning visit from the dolphins right off shore made our walks very special! The sleeping arrangements fit our family perfectly, and the beds were all so comfortable. We appreciated the many thick towels and the fine shampoo and lotion. The house was spotless and we loved the location - we walked to both South Beach and Harbor Town. Thanks so much for your hospitality -- Hilton Head remains one of our favorite places!

We've been coming to Hilton Head since the mid 1980's, and now with three generations, found your Beach House to be perfect for expanding needs. Weather was perfect, and being right on the beach was a real plus, especially with little ones. The deck overlooking the ocean really makes the experience special..... but wish the palm tree could be relocated to the side yard :-)! We liked it so much that we've already booked the same property for next year!Recommended for: Girls getaway, age 55+, families with young children.

First the location is hard to beat. You are right on the beach and can see the water from your room or the deck. There are some maintenance issues that have not been taken care of but can be worked around (hole in floor under carpet). You may want to rig something to cover the bathroom window in the master bath or just wave at your neighbors when you get out of the shower. There is no broom to sweep with so bring your own. The bathrooms seemed to be clean but needed so standard maintenance (caulking, etc.). The starter supplies were more than some places so we were impressed. The beds were great no old worn out mattresses. The house is an older home but we were there for the beach, pool, and bike trails and there was no disappointment in those. I have stayed at nicer homes that were 2nd or 3rd row and each had a problem; most of the time the pool was way too small. This house has a big pool so enjoy.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, families with young children.
Owner response: Feedback comes in all shapes and sizes. Always appreciate the input and this is why we use a rental management company to help with our guests' stays. If you need something they are there to assist.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 1998
About the owner: We are Americans who have lived in London since 1999. Our Hilton Head house is our residence in the States that we rent out when we are not there and to maintain the property. Hilton Head is our favorite place in the world, but we do get out and about every once in awhile. Hilton Head is in our blood. Ted's grandmother came from Bluffton before leaving in 1911 and the relatives owned places like Rose Hill, Victoria Bluff, and Kirk's Bluff (along the May River) back when land was cheap, cheap (1800s - 1960s)
Why the Owner Chose Private Homes, Oceanside:
Our house has been in the Leavitt family since Ted's father bought the property from Charles Fraser on a hunting trip in the early 1960s. We bought the house in 1998 and then did a complete renovation in order to bring the house up to date. The old beach houses were very open (you had to go outside to the downstairs bedroom!) and we converted it to its present 5-bedroom, 5-bath format, while maintaining the character from the early days of Sea Pines.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
Having come to Hilton Head since 1962, our house reflects the dichotomy of a modern version of an original Sea Pines beach cottage with the simplicity of beach life. We personally feel the privacy of our setting is a unique benefit, but each person will have their own viewpoint.

In which part of a river is a waterfall usually found ?
I remember it was something like near a tributary or something....
2 Answers | add yours
Waterfalls can happen in any part of a river's system where massive erosion or an abrupt steepening of the river's channel exists.
Waterfalls are very erosive. The power with which the water pours over a waterfall continually erodes away at both the material the water pours past and the material the water lands upon.
"Blockage of a preexisting channel" can cause waterfalls to form. Debris from land erosion or the hardness or softness of the underlying rock can cause diversion of water flow and produce a waterfall.
Essentially, waterfalls are the result of massive erosion. Waterfalls, then, can exist in any part of a river where the erosion has been massive enough to allow the water of the river to fall.

Hi everyone,
Mon: strength training chest/triceps/shoulders
Tue: 1.7 kilometer try-out run with a very happy Spooky. Legs were up for it, but I got out of breath easily, so despite the short distance, I needed a couple of walk breaks.
Wed: strength training legs + abs + 20 min yoga stretches
Thu: 2.17 kilometers on the TM - much better than Tuesday, though TM running is cheating a little bit + a 20 min boxing workout
Fri: I had a boxing w/o scheduled, but I did that one yesterday, so I had a day off
Sat: 2.66 kilometer doggie run + strength training bis/tris. Will be off later this afternoon to meet up with henrun and mrrun in Amsterdam.
Dutchie I go running in the early morning, before my brain figures out what I'm up to.
Run the day, or the day runs you.

Watch These Dogs Being Great Ring Bearers — Daily Distraction
Some dogs have jobs, even at weddings.
Some dogs have jobs, even at weddings.
When you have large groups of people walking in unison and playing music and wearing elaborate outfits and sometimes holding enormous, heavy instruments, you have the ingredients for disaster.
Geese, it turns out, can be a bit foul-tempered.
Even superstars like Albert Pujols had to start out somewhere, and for most kids who play baseball, that starting point is T-ball.
There's something about a car window that dogs just can't resist.
Cats can, on occasion, seem a bit lazy. And that's not an entirely undeserved reputation.
There's a lot of pressure on graduates, what with all those people watching. And sometimes, people buckle under that strain.
This time of year we see a lot of graduation ceremonies, and some graduates can't seem to help showing how pleased they are to get that diploma.
Memorial Day weekend is a big weekend for grilling, so it's time for a refresher on what exactly not to do with your grill.
Cats have many enemies—dogs are the obvious one, but they have several other rivalries as well.
Anyone who's seen their dog try to drink all the water shooting out of a sprinkler knows just how mesmerizing some animals find those machines.
Sure, being a baby duck means that you're undeniably adorable, but that doesn't make life any easier.

Hints of toasted almond and vanilla-tinged cookie dough lend a faintly confectionary cast that manages to harmonize with the dominant fruitiness and florality, while piquancy of apple and lime pit serve for counterpoint."

From the Huffington Post:
Lance Armstrong took the defeat of cancer and turned it into a victory for all those affected. Michael Phelps used the $1 million bonus he earned from Speedo to work with various charitable programs to promote water safety and encourage youth swimming. Alyssa Milano launched UNICEF's famous Trick or Treat campaign. And Entourage's Adrian Grenier is as famous for his work as an environmentalist as he is for his acting, and he most recently shattered the record for the most expensive bottle of whiskey ever sold at auction, bidding it off for $94,000 benefiting SHFT's green initiatives.
In addition to New York Yankees programs such as—National Hope Week—I am also enormously proud of the contributions from my Yankees teammates such as relief pitcher David Robertson's involvement in the Special Olympics. And, of course, Nick Swisher's very own "Swish's Wishes."
It is this list of generosity and goodwill that has inspired me to get involved with Harlem RBI—a baseball, softball and academic enrichment organization with the mission to provide inner-city youth with opportunities to play, learn and grow.

- Updated rxcache for Red Hat 6.4 (device mapper conflict)
- Addressed incorrect description of maximum number of rxdsks supported.
- Updated modules for kernel 3.10.
- Updated Makefile for cross compiling install.
- Addressed a bug in rxdsk print statement (wrong type). Thanks go to Neo for discovering and patching it.
- Minor update adding DKMS support.
- Adding support to build and install/uninstall tools separately (i.e. without modules, as in when installing with DKMS).
- Added better implementation of BLKFLSBUF ioctl to rxdsk module. This will "flush data" and truncate pages.
- Added flush command to rxadm utility.
- Added support for Linux kernel 3.9. Tested on 3.9.2.
- Cleaned up code and removed unused and unimplemented caching feature (write-around).
- Added support for Linux kernel 3.8. Tested on 3.8-rc7.
- Made some modifications to the modules' makefile.
- Added support for Linux kernels 3.6 & 3.7. Tested on 3.6.9 and 3.7-rc8.
- Minor rxcache kernel module update: Make spinlocks less greedy by removing most of the "disable ALL interrupts" spinlocks and replacing them with spinlocks to disable interrupts ONLY from bottom halves.
- Added support for building in 3.4 and later Linux kernels.
- Updated module Makefile to point to a different DESTDIR and KSRC (for cross-compiling)
- Removed warning for RapidCache build (placed check for 32/64 bit arch).
- Addressed an issue with md raid 1 (mirror) and using rxdsk in which the md driver would routinely send I/O of size 0 bytes and rxdsk would return an EIO, failing the array. Problem and solution found and provided by Dmitry Trikoz of Stratus Technologies.
- Addressed warning generated for kernels 3.2 and later with the return type of the blk_queue_make_request request_queue function.
- Added comments and cleaned error messages in pyRxAdm.
- Added comments to rxadm files.
- Added additional functionality to pyRxAdm (add, map, archive, restore) also added some more error checking.
- Fixed bug in rxadm during the archival process.
- Updated version no. and removed b's to move from beta to production.
- Added a couple more switches to list version/help info of rxadm
- Cleaned up rxadm logo for pyRxAdm
- Added pyRxAdm wrapper to list and to unmap/detach rxdsk/rxcache volumes.
- Modifed short-list feature output and modified error statement
- Modified cmd/Makefile
- Added logo for wrapper
- Updated version no. for kernel modules
- Added --short-list support in rxadm management utility.
- Cleaned up debug messages on modules and added a couple of more.
- Fixed bug #5 relating to using the rxadm utility without any nodes listed in /dev/mapper.
- Cleaned up a few messages in both rxdsk.c and rxcache.c.
- Added rxcache write/read through caching module support.
- Added rxcache management features in rxadm utility.
- Modified input for archive/restore in rxadm to not use absolute path for rxdsk node. It maintains a form of consistency across all commands.
- Fixed bug #4 by adding the BLKFLSBUF ioctl() command to process. This is specifically for when the user places an rxd node in an mdadm raid array.
- Added a new test file to test the new ioctl command.
- Cleaned up the Makefiles (bug #2) a bit and now the user can build and install the kernel module from the root of the package tree as opposed to doing it from the module directory.
- Fixed bug #3 which was for a warning during the build of rxadm on an x86_64 architecture. Thanks go to Gustaf Ullberg for discovering the root cause and providing a quick solution.
- Removed the "b" from version strings to signify non-beta. This project seems to be production ready.
- Also added a test suite and some additional test tools for testing data integrity, performance, etc. This will help a lot for feature testing in future releases.
- Added check in management utility to make sure that
node is present before archiving and restoring compressed/ decompressed images.
- Added new feature to archive/restore an rxd volume to/from a zlib compressed data file (many thanks to Simon Ball for suggesting a similar feature).
- Added discard support.
- Added an ioctl to handle an invalid query sent by later versions of udev that correspond with Linux kernels 2.6.35 and above.
- Also integrated patch submitted by James Plummer of Stratus Technologies to address 32 bit limitation of rxadm utility rxdsk creation/resizing by casting the variable to a 64-bit type. Patch also included minor clean up code/optimizations for the same rxadm util.
- Optimized the configuring of the request queue.
- Added checks for module to build from kernels 2.6.32 all the way to the latest (currently 3.0.3).
- Added support for dynamic resizing of attached rxdsk volumes.
- Official stable public release.
