Laura is a 1944 American film noir directed by Otto Preminger. It stars Gene Tierney, Dana Andrews, Clifton Webb, Vincent Price and Judith Anderson. The screenplay by Jay Dratler, Samuel Hoffenstein, and Elizabeth Reinhardt is based on the 1943 novel of the same title by Vera Caspary.
In 1999, Laura was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". The American Film Institute ranked the film #73 on AFI's 100 Years...100 Thrills, the score #7 in AFI's 100 Years of Film Scores, and it was ranked the fourth best film in the mystery genre in AFI's 10 Top 10.[3]
New York City police detective Mark McPherson (Dana Andrews) is investigating the murder of beautiful and highly successful advertising executive, Laura Hunt (Gene Tierney). Laura has been killed by a shotgun blast to the face, just inside the doorway to her apartment, before the start of the film. He interviews charismatic newspaper columnist Waldo Lydecker (Clifton Webb), an imperious, decadent dandy, who relates how he met Laura, became her mentor, and used his considerable influence and fame to advance her career. McPherson also questions Laura's parasitic playboy fiancé, Shelby Carpenter (Vincent Price), her wealthy socialite aunt, Ann Treadwell (Judith Anderson), who'd been carrying on with Carpenter and giving him money, and her loyal housekeeper, Bessie Clary (Dorothy Adams).
Through the testimony of her friends, and the reading of her letters and diary, McPherson comes to know Laura and slowly becomes obsessed with her, so much so Lydecker accuses him of falling in love with the dead woman. He also learns that Lydecker was jealous of Laura's suitors, using his newspaper column and influence to keep them at bay.
One night, the detective falls asleep in Laura's apartment, under her portrait, and is awakened by the sound of someone entering the apartment. He is shocked to discover it is Laura. Laura finds a dress in her closet belonging to one of her models, Diane Redfern. McPherson concludes that she, Diane Redfern, was the victim, brought there by Carpenter, while Laura was away in the country. Now it becomes even more urgent to unmask the murderer.
A party is thrown to welcome Laura's return. At the party, McPherson arrests Laura for the murder of Diana Redfern. Upon questioning her, he is convinced of her innocence and that she does not love Shelby. He returns her to her apartment, and then goes to search Lydecker's apartment. There he becomes suspicious of a clock that is identical to the one in Laura's apartment. On closer examination he finds a secret compartment. He returns to Laura's apartment. Lydecker is there and it is apparent there is a growing bond between Laura and the detective. Lydecker insults McPherson and is sent away by Laura but pauses on the stairwell outside. After Lydecker has left, McPherson examines Laura's clock and finds the shotgun that killed Diane. Laura is confronted with the truth that Lydecker was the murderer. McPherson locks Laura in to her apartment, warning her not to let any one in. After he has left, Lydecker emerges from another room and attempts to kill Laura, claiming if he cannot have her, no one can. He is shot down by McPherson's sergeant, who had told McPherson that Lydecker had never left the building, causing the two policemen to return to the apartment. Lydecker's last words are: "Goodbye, Laura. Goodbye, my love."

Otto Preminger was looking for a theatrical project to direct and first became aware of Vera Caspary's story when her agent offered him the first draft of a play called Ring Twice for Laura. Preminger liked the high-society setting and the unusual plot twist but felt the work needed a major revision and offered to rewrite it with its author. He and Caspary disagreed about the direction they should take it and she opted to collaborate with writer George Sklar instead. Marlene Dietrich expressed interest in portraying the title character, but without the attachment of Dietrich or another major star, Caspary was unable to find a producer willing to finance a national tour or a Broadway run, and she abandoned the project.[4]
Caspary eventually adapted the play for a novel with the same title and a sequel entitled simply Laura, both of which eventually were purchased by 20th Century Fox for $30,000. George Sanders and Laird Cregar were announced as the leads.[5]
Interim studio head William Goetz, serving in that capacity while Darryl F. Zanuck was fulfilling his military duty, assigned Preminger the task of developing the books for the screen, and he began working with Jay Dratler, Samuel Hoffenstein, and Elizabeth Reinhardt. Recalling the differences of opinion he and Caspary had had, Preminger opted not to involve her until the first draft was completed. He sensed the more interesting character was not Laura but Waldo Lydecker and expanded his role accordingly, but Caspary was unhappy with the changes to her plot.[6]
Zanuck, with whom Preminger previously had clashed, returned to the studio and was angered to discover Goetz had rehired his nemesis. In retaliation, he announced Preminger could produce but not direct Laura and assigned him to helm In the Meantime, Darling instead. Several directors, including Lewis Milestone, were offered and rejected Laura until Rouben Mamoulian finally agreed to direct. Mamoulian immediately ignored all of Preminger's directives as producer and began to rewrite the script. To Preminger's dismay, he cast Laird Cregar, known for his portrayal of Jack the Ripper in The Lodger, in the key role of Lydecker. The producer felt casting an actor with a reputation for playing sinister roles would lead the audience to become suspicious of Lydecker earlier than necessary. He favored Clifton Webb, who had left films in 1930 to concentrate on the stage and at that time was appearing in the Noël Coward play Blithe Spirit in Los Angeles. Fox casting director Rufus LeMaire and Zanuck both objected to Webb because of his overt effeminate mannerisms, exactly what Preminger felt suited the character. He filmed the actor delivering a monologue from the Coward play, and Zanuck agreed he was perfect for the role.[7] Zanuck was similarly campaigning for actor Reginald Gardiner to play the role of Shelby, though Fox contractee Vincent Price finally got the role.
Filming began on April 27, 1944, and from the start Mamoulian had problems with his cast. He offered relative newcomers Gene Tierney and Dana Andrews little support, allowed theatrically trained Judith Anderson to play to the balcony instead of reining in her performance, and virtually ignored Webb, who had learned the director was unhappy with his casting. After viewing the early rushes, Zanuck called a meeting with Mamoulian and Preminger, each of whom blamed the other for the problems on the set. Preminger finally convinced Zanuck the material needed a more subtle approach than Mamoulian was willing to give it, and the studio head allowed the producer to fire him and direct the film himself. Preminger immediately hired a new cinematographer and scenic designer and replaced the portrait of Laura – a crucial element of the film – Mamoulian's wife Azadia had painted the original portrait, but Preminger replaced that with an enlarged photograph (taken by Fox photographer Frank Polony) of Tierney, lightly dabbed with oils to give it the ethereal effect he wanted.[8]
Preminger initially experienced resistance from his cast, who had been led to believe Preminger was unhappy with their work by the departing Mamoulian. "Once we got used to Otto, we had a pretty easy time," Vincent Price recalled in a July 1989 interview. Filming was completed on June 29, slightly over budget but within the projected timetable.[9]
Zanuck was unhappy with Preminger's first cut of the film and insisted it be given a new ending, in which it was revealed Lydecker had imagined the entire story. Following a screening of the Zanuck version, columnist Walter Winchell approached the studio head and told him, "I didn't get [the ending]. You've got to change it." Zanuck relented and allowed Preminger to reinstate his original finale, telling him, "This is your success. I concede."[10]
Once principal photography was completed, Preminger hired David Raksin to score the film. The director wanted to use "Sophisticated Lady" by Duke Ellington for the main theme, but Raksin objected to the choice. Alfred Newman, music director for Fox, convinced Preminger to give Raksin a weekend to compose an original tune. Inspired by a Dear John letter he had received from his girlfriend, Raksin wrote the haunting theme[11] for which Johnny Mercer later wrote lyrics. It eventually became a jazz standard recorded by more than four hundred artists, including Stan Kenton, Dick Haymes, Woody Herman, Nat King Cole, The Four Freshmen, Charlie Parker, and Frank Sinatra.[12] Even Spike Jones did a parody version of the song. Preminger was so pleased with Raksin's score the two collaborated on four additional films.[10] (refer to "Laura (1945 song)")
In 1993 Fox Records released a 27-minute suite of Raksin's score on an album paired with Bernard Herrmann's score for Jane Eyre. In 2013 Kritzerland released the complete Raksin score along with test demos and the suite from the original album as bonus tracks.

Critical response[edit]
Thomas M. Pryor of The New York Times observed:
When a murder mystery possessing as much sustained suspense, good acting and caustically brittle dialogue as Laura... comes along it might seem a little like carping to suggest that it could have been even better. As the story of a strangely fascinating female who insinuates herself into the lives of three very worldly gents, much depends, of course, upon the lady herself ... Now, at the risk of being unchivalrous, we venture to say that when the lady herself appears upon the scene via a flashback of events leading up to the tragedy, she is a disappointment. For Gene Tierney simply doesn't measure up to the word-portrait of her character. Pretty, indeed, but hardly the type of girl we had expected to meet. For Miss Tierney plays at being a brilliant and sophisticated advertising executive with the wild-eyed innocence of a college junior. Aside from that principal reservation, however, Laura is an intriguing melodrama ... Only Miss Tierney seems out of key. Perhaps if Laura Hunt had not had such a build-up, it would have been different. Anyway, the picture on the whole is close to being a top-drawer mystery.[13]
Variety said:
The film's deceptively leisurely pace at the start, and its light, careless air, only heighten the suspense without the audience being conscious of the buildup. What they are aware of as they follow the story ... is the skill in the telling. Situations neatly dovetail and are always credible. Developments, surprising as they come, are logical. The dialog is honest, real and adult.[14]
In 2002, Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times wrote:
Film noir is known for its convoluted plots and arbitrary twists, but even in a genre that gave us The Maltese Falcon, this takes some kind of prize ... That Laura continues to weave a spell – and it does – is a tribute to style over sanity ... All of [the] absurdities and improbabilities somehow do not diminish the film's appeal. They may even add to it ... [T]he whole film is of a piece: contrived, artificial, mannered, and yet achieving a kind of perfection in its balance between low motives and high style. What makes the movie great, perhaps, is the casting. The materials of a B-grade crime potboiler are redeemed by Waldo Lydecker, walking through every scene as if afraid to step in something.[15]
Rotten Tomatoes reports that Laura has a 100% fresh rating, based on 45 reviews, with the consensus being "a psychologically complex portrait of obsession, Laura is also a deliciously well-crafted murder mystery."[16]

The show was filmed in London and the screenplay was written by Truman Capote. It met with unanimous negative reactions attributable to Lee Bouvier's poor acting.[18]
It was remade in Hindi as Rog, starring Irrfan Khan as the cop.
Dana Andrews' character was the main reference to the character Teddy Daniels in the 2010 movie Shutter Island.

Recharging the battery made of water
Published on Wed, Dec 29, 2010 by
Dr. E. Kirsten Peters

It's that time of year once again.
As a geologist, I'm not thinking of the holiday season when I note this time on the calendar. What's impressed me lately is the clear start of the annual cycle in which we benefit from a recharging of the nation's water supply.
In late November, while I was digging my pickup truck out of 14 inches of snow, I had time to meditate on the importance of this time of year. Not long after my shoveling effort, the Midwest was hit by major snowfalls. Now other parts of our geographically complex nation have had substantial rains.
Both snow and rain are different ways of spelling water, of course. Roughly 10 inches of snow are the same as an inch of rain. I say "roughly" because snow can be dry powder, in which case it doesn't have much water content, or sloppy stuff that weighs a heck of a lot more because it's got more water in each scoop of my shovel.
Depending on water
There are two basic ways that significant parts of the country will depend on this winter's snow and rainfall well down the road. That's worth a moment's consideration, because we're just as dependent on water as we are on energy.
First, winter snows at high elevations build up over time. Near the start of the summer, those snows melt. Water enters creeks that flow down into larger streams. That's why a healthy snowpack at high elevations leads to plentiful water in rivers during the summer. With current climate trends in the western U.S., snowpack runoff may happen earlier in the spring and summer — with important consequences for our ability to generate electricity and meet peak irrigation needs later in the warm season.
But there's a second, more invisible, way that precipitation is crucial to our water supply. In several regions of the country, aquifers hold water beneath our feet and supply the water that we all depend on.
Here's the story.
As we all can observe, rain and snowmelt soak into the soil. What we can't easily see is that part of the water in the soil continues to move downward. It's a slow process, but over time water trickles into the little cracks and tiny holes that exist in the solid rock that's beneath the soil.
If you drill a well down through the soil of my backyard and into the rock under it, you'd reach the water table. That's the depth beneath which water flows into open holes in the Earth, like wells.
Rock doesn't hold a lot of water. Imagine you could look at some of the rock under my house that's beneath the water table, a cubic piece of solid stone that was 1 foot on each side. Only a thimbleful of water would flow from that rock into a well.
But a good well gets the benefit of the water that's stored in huge volumes of rock. And each morning I fill my coffee pot with water exactly like that, what geologists call groundwater from a deep aquifer.
Filling up the aquifers
All aquifers have to be recharged. That's what is happening at this time of year. Snow and rain are trickling down into soil. Over time, water will move into the rock underneath the soil, recharging the systems on which so much depends.
It's an unfortunate fact that we are pulling water out of major American aquifers at a faster rate than Mother Nature recharges them. The day will come that we will have to change our way of doing business. It's not that we abruptly will have no water at all to use, but that we'll have to engineer more solutions to meet our needs, deal with new environmental impacts and end up spending a lot more money for water than we're used to doing.
For the New Year, let me raise with you a toast of cold, clear water — an often overlooked but precious gift.

Time to move your bobhouse
The structures also cannot be left on public or private property without permission, Fish and Game advised.
The law is designed to ensure that bobhouses and their contents don't fall through the ice and become a hazard to boaters or get left behind on shore, explained Sgt. Dave Eskeland of the agency's law enforcement division.
Failure to remove a bobhouse by the deadline can result in a fine and a one-year loss of the owner's fishing license. In cases where conservation officers cannot identify the bobhouse owner, Fish and Game has the authority to seize any bobhouse and its contents not removed by the deadline, Eskeland said.
For more information, contact the local conservation officer or Fish and Game's law enforcement division at 271-3127.

CD/LP/Track Review
Wilford Brimley With The Jeff Hamilton Trio: Wilford Brimley With The Jeff Hamilton Trio (2013)
The four actors listed above have taken vocal detours into various locales, from Broadway to bluesville, but others have been tempted to visit jazzier territory instead. Joe Pesci (a.k.a. Joe Doggs), for example, put his Jimmy Scott -esque vocals to good use on organist Joey DeFrancesco 's Falling In Love With Love (Concord Records, 2003), and now, Wilford Brimley is taking a run at the classics with drummer Jeff Hamilton 's classy trio backing him up. Brimley and Hamilton are an odd match on the surface, but they share a love for this music, and that's all that's really required to make a go of things.
Brimley-as-vocalist comes with some drawbacks and strengths, as many musicians do. He tends to favor a form of speak singing with a vibrato chaser, which isn't likely to win over the vocal jazz set, but he also has a few important things going for him. First and foremost is his storyteller's delivery. It's clear that he gets the ins-and-outs of what the songs are saying. One of his other strengths is his ability to give the material a quaint, lived-in feel.
Hamilton and company play their part(s) to perfection. Hamilton's break away brush work and impeccable sense of swing are a joy to experience, pianist Tamir Hendelman is ever-charming, and bassist Christoph Luty is the connective tissue. Sometimes he bridges the gap between Hendelman and Hamilton, but he's just as likely to fill the spaces Brimley leaves ("A Sleepin' Bee") or simply serve as a harmonic guidepost.
The arrangements that surround and support Brimley are clever and concise, with twelve of the fifteen numbers clocking in under the four minute mark; the idea seems to be to say what needs to be said, let a quick solo or two sneak in, and then move on.
It's not likely that vocal aficionados will be ditching their Nat "King" Cole in favor of Brimley's "Walkin' My Baby Back Home" or choosing his "A Sleepin' Bee" over Mel Torme 's take on the song, but Brimley's work shouldn't be discounted. He's always possessed an ability to win over an audience, regardless of the setting, and he does his best to do it again here.

School of Business experts predict modest economic recovery
A panel of Queen's School of Business professors is predicting a slow, but modest, recovery from the recession in 2011.
"Recovery from the recession is shallow, but is picking up steam," said finance professor Lew Johnson during the 29th annual Business Forecast Lunch this week in Kingston.
Queen's professors gave their expert opinions about financial markets and how businesses can manage during the economic recovery. The luncheon, which attracts business leaders from across the city, establishes an important link between School of Business and the community.
Professor Johnson reported investor confidence and business confidence are both trending up. However, while unemployment rates are down considerably, most new jobs are part time, which means the recession isn't entirely over yet.
Shai Dubey, director of the Cornell-Queen's Executive MBA program, told luncheon attendees that Kingston has fared better than most other Canadian cities through the recession and was optimistic about the groundwork that the city has prepared for its future.
"Replacing aging infrastructure, developing comprehensive plans for growth, and working with institutions of higher education, agencies and industry to define areas where the city has competitive advantages for growth and sustainability all bode well for future of the city," he said.
On another note, the economic forecast for first-year business student Winston Zhang is great. He is this year's winner of the Business Forecasting Luncheon Award, a $3,000 scholarship given to a first-year student based on financial need and academic excellence.
"When I found out I won, it was a great feeling, I was very excited and I was really honoured," he said.
Mr. Zhang is the First Year Representative with the Queen's Conference on International Business and Queen's Commerce Society's Mentorship and Alumni Committee. While a student at Kingston Collegiate and Vocational Institute, Mr. Zhang place third in an international business case study competition.

The District Court ruling came in a case considering whether an ISP was required to release records to the FBI. The court found the law that authorized these searches wrongly barred legal challenges and imposed a gag order on affected businesses. The filing of the appeal occurs amid a debate in Congress over whether to renew the Patriot Act and expand the FBI's power to to demand records without a judicial order. AP has more.
[JURIST] The Johannesburg High Court has banned the release of a newspaper article revealing a corruption scandal involving the nation's ruling African National Congress (ANC) [political party website], requiring South Africa's leading independant newspaper, the Mail and Guardian [media website], to prevent the distribution of its entire 45,000 issue run. Last week, the newpaper ran the first article in a series alleging that ANC used the South African oil company Imvune Management to channel $1.7 million from the state to the party. The court found the information was gathered illegally because the paper refused to reveal its sources. The paper responded in an editorial saying it was "the first time since the apartheid states banning of the M&G under emergency regulations in the late 1980s that the paper has been muzzled.

[JURIST] Former US nuclear weapons workers can soon start filing claims for compensation for exposure to radiation [US Labor Department press release] and other industrial toxins while working on cold-war era nuclear weapons. The program details [DOL procedures for filing claims and determining eligibility] were released for living workers on Friday, but the government has already implemented a program for the survivors of deceased workers and has paid more than $53 million for 430 claims. Most of those benefited by the program worked at facilities in Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, New Mexico, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee and Washington. Critics argue that the new compensation plan may not cover all possible ailments and the burden of proving exposure may be too high. AP has more.
[JURIST] The Bush administration Friday refused a request to extradite Cuban exile Luis Posada Carriles to Venezuela, citing inadequate supporting evidence. Carriles is suspected of bombing a plane carrying 73 people to Caracas and has been charged by US authorities [JURIST report] for entering the country illegally. The request had been a source of conflict between the US and the leftist government of Hugo Chavez, a close ally of Cuba. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] Leader of the banned Batasuna party [Wikipedia entry], the political wing of Basque separatist group ETA [Wikipedia entry], Arnaldo Otegi was freed on bail Friday after two days in a Madrid prison. Otegi was freed after his lawyer put up $400,000 euros to secure his release from the high-security prison. He had previously served a four-year term for an ETA kidnapping and his arrest earlier this week was on suspicion of his role as a "leader in the terrorist network." Otegi's imprisonment came just two weeks after the Spanish government offered to open up talks with ETA [AP report] if it stopped all violence and many see the arrest as an impediment to the hopes of peace in the region. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] The former national finance director of the Hillary Rodham Clinton [official website] Senate campaign, David Rosen, was acquitted Friday of two counts of making false statements to the Federal Election Commission. Prosecutors argued that Rosen lied to conceal the mounting costs of a 2000 fundraising event, disclosing only $400,000 in in-kind contributions, when the actual total was closer to $1.1 million. The fundraiser, which raised $91,000, was financed by Peter F. Paul [SEC press release on charges], a convicted felon who pleaded guilty in March to separate securities fraud charges and Aaron Tonken [DOJ press release on charges], who is serving a 63-month prison sentence for unrelated charges of defrauding charities. Prosecutors stated that the Clintons were unaware of any fraudulent activity. AP has more.
[JURIST] Mayor of New Paltz [official website] Jason West will face trial for attempting to marry same-sex couples last year, New York's highest court announced Friday. West faces 24 misdemeanor counts for violating the state's domestic relations law by marrying couples without licenses, making him subject to fines with a possibility of up to one year in jail. In a series of charges filed and dropped [JURIST report] against West over the past year for failing to uphold the law in New York, he has maintained that he is standing up for the constitutional rights of gay couples. AP has more.
[JURIST] Prosecutors in Romania on Friday charged translator Muhamed Munaf and Arab businessman Omar Hayssam with orchestrating the kidnapping of three Romanian journalists [Guardian report] held for 55 days in Iraq. The two men were specifically charged with "initiating, funding and coordinating the March 28 kidnapping." Prosecutors believe that Hayssam hoped to remake his image, tarnished by involvement in organized crime and shady financial dealings, into that of a hero by making it appear that he aided in the journalists rescue. Warrant arrests for 30 days were issued according to the report. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] Leading Friday's international brief, a high-level source in the cabinet of Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe [Wikipedia profile] has told news agencies in Zimbabwe [government website] that the administration has decided to push forward legislation that would nationalize all private productive farmland in the nation. The source said that in addition to creating a new cabinet level department to oversee the land acquisition, the government will also seek to amend the Zimbabwean Constitution [official text] to abolish almost all private property ownership rights. The proposed legislation is not without opposition in Mugabe's cabinet, and might be changed to reflect viewpoints of the cabinet, but the source said that some version of the law will almost certainly be presented to the Zimbabwean Parliament [government website] next month, since Mugabe is said to strongly support the legislation.

[JURIST] Following allegations of religious intolerance and a subsequent Air Force task force visit [US Air Force press release] to the Colorado Air Force Academy [official website], the Air Force has specifically instructed its commanders to exercise religious respect and refrain from using their positions to advance religious beliefs. The visit was sparked by claims of religious discrimination [JURIST report] at the Academy, including a claim that Capt. MeLinda Morton, an Academy chaplain, was demoted and transferred to Okinawa after criticizing evangelicals' influence at the academy. The Air Forces instruction states that, "Senior leaders, commanders, and supervisor at every level must be particularly sensitive to the fact that subordinates can consider your public expressions of belief systems coercive. Using your place at the podium as a platform for your personal beliefs can be perceived as misuse of office." The task forces report has yet to be released. AP has more.
[JURIST] The Congolese government Friday denied allegations by Amnesty International [advocacy website] that roughly 65 civilians were being detained and possibly tortured in the southeastern province of Katanga [Wikipedia entry]. The human rights organization said that the detainees were accused by the government of involvement in a succession plot to control resource-rich Katanga. Government spokesman Henri Mova Sakanyi admitted that 35 people had been arrested but denied that any had been tortured or mistreated and said that only 8 remained incarcerated, to face charges of trying to "organize independence." With a wealth of copper and cobalt reserves, Katanga has been a hotbed of secessionist movements since Congo's independence in 1960. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] A judge in Paris investigating the disappearance of four French citizens during the dictatorial reign of Gen. Augusto Pinochet [Wikipedia profile] in Chile has renewed arrest warrants for Pinochet and 18 other members of the Chilean military. The warrants were renewed Wednesday for procedural reasons related to the judge's acquisition of the 2001 investigation. Among the French citizens who disappeared are Georges Klein, personal doctor to President Salvador Allende [BBC profile] who was killed in a bloody coup in 1973. AP has more.
[JURIST] Citing a pattern of fraud at American International Group Inc. [official website], the world's largest insurer by market value, New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer has filed suit against AIG, its former chief executive, Maurice "Hank" Greenberg [Wikipedia profile], and its former chief financial officer, Howard Smith. The lawsuit, filed in New York Supreme Court Thursday, alleges the defendants engaged in fraudulent transactions to prop up the price of AIG stock, concealed losses, mischaracterized income and repeatedly lied to state insurance inspectors. The suit also suggests that Greenberg and Smith may have manipulated the stock for their own financial benefit. The complaint did not include any claims unknown to AIG and the company announced that they were "pleased that Attorney General Spitzer has recognized our cooperation and has previously indicated his expectations of reaching a civil settlement with AIG." Greenberg resigned from his positions as chief executive officer and chairman of AIG in March and Smith was fired about a week later for failing to cooperate with investigators. AP has more.
[JURIST] Reuters is reporting that the US military has begun an investigation into the shooting death Friday of an Iraqi inmate at Abu Ghraib prison [JURIST news archive]. The army provided only a brief statement. "An Abu Ghraib detainee died from gunshot wounds May 27 at approximately 5am (0100 GMT) after being transported to a coalition medical treatment facility. The incident is under investigation." Reuters has more.
[JURIST] US District Judge James A. Redden ruled Thursday that the Bush administration distorted information to downplay the harm that 14 federal dams cause to the endangered salmon and steelhead of the Columbia and Snake rivers, neglecting its duty to protect the species. The ruling means that the issue will be sent back to the National Marine Fisheries Service [official website] for the third time for reevaluation of the potential harm to fish caused by the dams. Environmental groups such as the National Wildlife Federation [advocacy website] applauded the decision [NWF press release] as stopping the government from ignoring their obligations under the Endangered Species Act. The New York Times has more.
[JURIST] Despite the recent campaign [JURIST report] by French President Jacques Chirac [official profile] to push the European Union constitution [text], thirteen successive polls indicate that the majority of French voters will vote "no" to the charter in a referendum this Sunday. While all 25 member countries must approve the constitution by either referendum or parlimentary vote, EU officials said that a French rejection would not necessarily spell death to the agreement if it was by a narrow margin. Chirac has warned that failure to approve the constitution "Would open a period of divisions, of doubts, of uncertainties" and be seen by Europeans as a "no to Europe"; he made a final TV pitch [official transcript} for the constitution Thursday. Socialist former Prime Minister Laurent Fabius [Wikipedia profile] has campaigned strongly for the "no" vote, stating that the constitution would create a European super-state that would swallow France, and is encouraging those opposed to the agreement to vote Sunday. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] The US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence [official website] was unable to come to a final agreement Thursday regarding an FBI proposal for increased power [JURIST report] to seize records and mailings in terror investigations under the USA Patriot Act [text]. In a nearly three-hour closed session the members of the committee debated the merits of the proposal and the effect it would have on people's civil liberties. Civil liberties groups were dismayed that the discussions were not open to the public and have expressed concern [ACLU press release] over the scope of the FBI's power. The New York Times has more.
[JURIST] President Bush's languishing air pollution initiative received a boost on Thursday when the Environmental Protection Agency [official website] agreed to a request made months ago by the Senate to examine competing legislation. The President's plan, known as Clear Skies [EPA website], failed in a Senate Committee vote in March 2005 when Democratic Senator Thomas R. Carper [official website] voted against the bill in a 9-9 vote because of the EPA's reluctance to consider similar bills with tighter emmissions standards. The EPA response may be enough to persuade another Democrat to switch votes. The New York Times has more.
[JURIST] The proposed European Union Constitution [text; JURIST news archive] received overwhelming legislative approval in Germany Friday. With all but one of Germany's 16 states in support of the constitution, the final "yes" vote in the Bundesrat [official website], the German upper house, was 66 of a possible 69. The state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania [Wikipedia entry] abstained from the vote as a result of opposition from its junior partner in its governing coalition, the ex-communist Party of Democratic Socialism [official website]. German leaders hope the vote will boost French support in time for the Sunday referendum, as polls indicate opponents making up the majority in both France and the Netherlands. All 25 EU countries must approve the constitution for it to take effect. AP has more.
[JURIST] Following up an an report yesterday in JURIST's Paper Chase, US military investigators have now identified five incidents in which the Koran was mishandled by US personnel at Guantanamo Bay but have not found any hard evidence that the holy book had been flushed down a toilet.

Two Guantanamo soldiers involved have been disciplined. Reuters has more.

A baseline study of potentially malicious activity across five network telescopes
This paper explores the Internet Background Radiation (IBR) observed across five distinct network telescopes over a 15 month period. These network telescopes consisting of a /24 netblock each and are deployed in IP space administered by TENET, the tertiary education network in South Africa covering three numerically distant /8 network blocks. The differences and similarities in the observed network traffic are explored. Two anecdotal case studies are presented relating to the MS08-067 and MS12-020 vulnerabilities in the Microsoft Windows platforms. The first of these is related to the Conficker worm outbreak in 2008, and traffic targeting 445/tcp remains one of the top constituents of IBR as observed on the telescopes. The case of MS12-020 is of interest, as a long period of scanning activity targeting 3389/tcp, used by the Microsoft RDP service, was observed, with a significant drop on activity relating to the release of the security advisory and patch. Other areas of interest are highlighted, particularly where correlation in scanning activity was observed across the sensors. The paper concludes with some discussion on the application of network telescopes as part of a cyber-defence solution.

Forwarding/Replying on iPhone 5
When I'm forwarding or replying to mail on my desktop, I usually delete the extraneous multiple packages of email addresses, comments and trailing anti-virus stuff at the end of the original message. It's easy to do: place the cursor at the beginning of the material to be deleted and drag down to the end of what you want to delete and hit the Return button.
But on the iPhone 5 with its IOS format, it's not easy. Put your finger/stylus in the middle of the message and the choice is Select or Select All. The latter deletes everything except the Subject line. But what do I do if I DON'T want to delete everything? Can I selectively delete just one or more paragraphs? Just the multiple forwarded emails? The grab points explained in the iPhone 5 PDF manual only gives you one shot at the selection and then the FORWARD link comes up. Surprisingly the David Pogue book iPhone 5 Missing Manual doesn't cover this topic. I dislike sending un-edited forwarded messages as much as receiving them. Can anyone help? |

It sounds like you only want to keep a small bit, so I'd suggest selecting and cutting that bit, then selecting and erasing everything else, and then pasting that bit.
Hardly elegant, but a bit better than what you're doing now. |

Actually, it's easy.
You "Select All" and then you can use the little blue "pin" icon to shape the size of the selected area. Then hit the "back" button and it erases everything in the selected area. I just tried it on my i5 and it worked easily. |

Mitral valve regurgitation is a condition in which the mitral valve of the heart does not close properly. When this happens, each time the heart beats or contracts, some of the blood leaks backward into a heart chamber called the left atrium. Symptoms can include fatigue, palpitations or shortness of breath, but you may have no symptoms at all.
In a normally functioning heart, the valves open and close completely. When the heart's mitral valve does not close completely, blood can flow backward instead of forward through the valve, which is called mitral valve regurgitation. This condition makes the heart work harder to pump blood throughout the body.
Symptoms of mitral valve regurgitation can include:
Symptoms may worsen with exertion.
Mitral valve regurgitation can be caused by:
Mitral valve regurgitation can weaken the heart, leading to heart failure, atrial fibrillation and pulmonary hypertension.
back to top
Mitral valve regurgitation may be suspected if a physician detects abnormal sounds, such as a heart murmur, through a stethoscope. To further define the nature and extent of the valve disease, physicians may use tests including:
Echocardiogram (also called echo) – This test uses sound waves to assess the function and structure of the heart muscle and valves.
Cardiac catheterization – A procedure to check for problems in coronary arteries. A long, thin tube (catheter) is inserted into an artery or vein in the groin, arm or neck, then threaded to the heart. The physician injects a contrast solution into the artery and takes X-rays to check for blockage and other abnormalities.
Transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) – A test to provide an image of heart structures; a small transducer (like a microphone) is passed down the esophagus to produce the image.
Exercise stress test – A test performed on a treadmill or stationary bicycle to measure heart, lung and muscle function during physical activity. You are attached to an electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG) to record electrical activity of the heart.
Drugs prescribed to relieve the symptoms of mitral valve regurgitation include diuretics and drugs used to lower blood pressure. High blood pressure can cause mitral valve regurgitation, or aggravate its severity, so lowering blood pressure is often a way to reduce its severity, decrease symptoms and avoid or delay the need for surgery.
Many people who have mitral valve regurgitation may not require treatment; it depends on severity. Those with mild mitral valve regurgitation rarely require specific treatment. If you have this condition, your physician should regularly monitor you to make sure it does not worsen, or permanently damage or weaken your heart to the point where surgery would not be necessary.
Mitral valve repair is the preferred treatment for mitral valve regurgitation. Mitral valve replacement may be an option when repair is not feasible.
Both mitral valve repair and replacement require open heart surgery. At Ohio State's Medical Center, minimally invasive surgery is frequently performed instead. This involves a smaller incision and usually a shorter recovery time. In the future, some types of mitral valve regurgitation may be repaired without the need for open heart surgery. Studies are under way to develop approaches that could be performed in the cath lab to repair a defective or leaky valve.
