Google Buys DeepMind Technologies, Growing Its Deep Learning Portfolio And Expertise
Google's letting the cash flow. Fresh off its $3.2 billion acquisition of "conscious home" company Nest, which makes the Nest Learning Thermostat and Protect smoke and carbon monoxide detector, it's spending some comparative pocket change — $400 million – on artificial intelligence startup DeepMind Technologies.
The news was first reported at re/code here, where one source describes DeepMind as "the last large independent company with a strong focus on artificial intelligence." The London startup, funded by Founders Fund, was founded by Demis Hassabis, Shane Legg and Mustafa Suleyman, with the stated goal of combining machine learning techniques and neuroscience to build powerful general purpose learning algorithms.
Its web page notes that its first commercial applications are in simulations, e-commerce and games, and this posting for a part-time paid computer science internship from this past summer casts it as "a world-class machine learning research company that specializes in developing cutting edge algorithms to power massively disruptive new consumer products."

Love the iPhone app, first class effort!
My only teeny-tiny pico-issue with it so far is sometimes the keyboard won't always switch back from landscape to portrait, leaving me with half a screen obscured by the keyboard vertically as the app switches but the keyboard doesn't.
Doesn't always seem to happen so i'll try and figure out what circumstances i need to replicate it.
Well done on a great app!

If you could replicate this 100% that would be really useful, however it seems very strange to me, the keyboard is actually controlled by the OS itself, we actually have little to no control over it. If the UI is rotating the device is definitely receiving the notification to flip, so it is odd indeed.
Try rebooting your device for a clean start, if it keeps happening, it is likely a problem with our app, otherwise perhaps just a small glitch in the keyboard, this is the first report ever hehe.

Mary Lou Soffa Named Recipient of 2012 Ken Kennedy Award
LOS ALAMITOS, Calif., 16 October 2012 – Mary Lou Soffa of the University of Virginia will receive the ACM-IEEE Computer Society Ken Kennedy Award for contributions to detecting and managing software security flaws. She developed software tools for debugging and testing programs to eliminate or reduce false alarms and improve operating efficiency. Her research produced automatic, practical solutions in software engineering, systems and programming languages for improving software reliability, security and productivity. Soffa will receive the Kennedy award on 13 November in Salt Lake City at SC12, the international conference on high-performance computing.
A leading researcher in programming languages, Soffa provided analytical and experimental models for understanding, predicting, and verifying the optimization of software. In her recent work, she developed a unifying framework for optimizations which included code, optimization, and resources models. Her model-based strategies enabled optimizing compilers to produce higher-quality code, and to employ different paradigms than those previously in use.
The Kennedy Award cited Soffa for "contributions to compiler technology and software engineering, exemplary service to the profession, and life-long dedication to mentoring and improving diversity in computing." She is the Owen R. Cheatham Professor at the University of Virginia.
Soffa was elected an ACM Fellow in 1999, and received the Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring from the White House the same year. In 2006, she received the Computing Research Association (CRA) Nico Habermann Award for contributions toward increasing the numbers and successes of underrepresented members in the computing research community.
She has held leadership roles in prominent national and international organizations, among them CRA and CRA-W, the committee on the status of women in computer science and engineering of CRA, and ACM Special Interest Groups on Software Engineering (SIGSOFT) and Programming Languages (SIGPLAN). Soffa currently serves on the ACM Publications Board and was elected in 2008 and 2012 as a Member-at-Large of the ACM Council. A highly regarded speaker, she has also published more than 150 papers in computing journals and conferences.
A graduate of the University of Pittsburgh with a BS degree in Mathematics, Soffa received an MS degree in Mathematics from Ohio State University before earning a PhD degree in Computer Science from the University of Pittsburgh. Before joining UVA, she was a professor and Graduate Dean in Arts and Sciences at Pitt.
ACM and the Computer Society co-sponsor the Kennedy Award, which was established in 2009 to recognize substantial contributions to programmability and productivity in computing and significant community service or mentoring contributions. It was named for the late Ken Kennedy, founder of Rice University's computer science program and a world expert on high-performance computing. The Kennedy Award carries a US $5,000 honorarium endowed by the ACM Special Interest Group on Computer Architecture (SIGARCH) and the Computer Society.

Massimo Bartolini turns the idea of the library on its head with his outdoor installation. Rather than public libraries scrambling for ways to bring in patrons, Bookyard steps out of a library's comfort zone and creates a venue where a bookworm can find his or favorite book and then read it in a beautiful setting. Up until the exhibit's conclusion on September 16, readers can peruse the bookshelves, select that favorite book, and then leave a donation in the amount of their choosing in a discrete box. Libraries in Ghent and Antwerp donated the books for Bartolini's Bookyard.
Bartolini, from Cecina, Italy, has long used various forms of mixed media, including sculpture and photography, and this outdoor library in the shadow of Ghent's Book Tower is one of his finest works. The layered bookshelves mimic the vineyard's rolling hills, the towers of books appear to grow out from the grass, and the surrounding trees and the setting inspire us to shut off out tablets and cell phones and sit down and read a classic. One question has puzzled many visitors, however; what happens when it rains?

Just hours before his death, John F. Kennedy appeared before a crowd in Fort Worth, Texas to honor the freedoms of America in what would be his final speech. Though the Zapruder film, a silent, 8mm home movie of the presidential motorcade through Dealey Plaza, is the most complete visual recording of JFKs assassination, it is just part of a vast record of sights and sounds captured on camera that day.
This four-hour special from HISTORY uses unique, rarely seen and heard footage to document the Kennedy assassination and the nearly 50 years of speculation and controversy that changed America.
Home movies from eyewitnesses, Dallas police dispatch radio recordings, and raw news footage provide a shocking, unflinching look at the assassination of the president and the days that followed while examining the aftermath, and the enduring controversies, that emerged as succeeding generations of Americans struggled to comprehend the sudden murder of an unforgettable leader.

My favorite part about Wintersday: Playing the Bell Choir minigame, and hearing strangers playing their own songs in between rounds. I never expected to play a sandbox Guitar Hero MMO, but apparently that's what GW2 has become!
EDIT: Also, is anyone else really impressed with the thought that went into the music? They had to compose the winter theme song in the same key as the main GW2 theme, or you wouldn't be able to play both of them on the same set of bells. The level of thought ArenaNet puts into little details like that is incredible.

Area beans reflecting benefit of late summer rains
Following an extended drought for the first half of the summer, Jeff Lehman, of Lehman Feed Mill, says that the change to a more rainy pattern in late July offered perfect moisture to jump start beans to production of what could be above average yields this fall.
"We got five inches of rain the last 10 days of July and then unbelievably, seven inches in August," said Lehman. "Who would have thought that something like that was going to happen? We can really thank the Lord for hearing our prayers. I think we are going to have better crops this fall than we ever thought that we would."
Lehman said that all indications are that area bean harvest will range between the 50s and low 60s bushel per acre yield. Lehman said that he also anticipates more corn yields of 120 bushels per acre or better than he would have thought early in July.
"With the rain we've had now and with plenty of sunshine predicted, I think that we will get fields dried off enough by Monday to start harvest more in earnest," said Lehman. "Over the next 10 days, we're going to see a lot of beans coming off. The rain that we had over the last couple of days will help even out some of the beans."
Lehman said that rainfall over the past couple of days has ranged from 1.8 inches in the local area to 2.5 inches around Bryant, with much lighter amounts in the northern part of the county.
"By Monday the beans should be in good shape. We should see a lot of harvest taking place," stressed Lehman.
"If we keep up with dry weather, a lot of wheat is going to get sown," Lehman added. "We're going to see a good increase in acreage, more than we've seen for a long time. Wheat planting is going to be a good 10 percent or more from last year."
Corn yield will depend on soil type, Lehman said. Overall, area farmers will be seeing a slightly better corn crop than what they had anticipated.
"There's no doubt that the late corn got pollinated better and is going to produce a better yield," said Lehman. "A lot of the worst corn got chopped off earlier."
Lehman also noted that hay cutting has been catching up with what is needed.
"The guys are getting some good cuttings and some good yields," Lehman said.
"What we are getting now will help make up for some of the loss of hay earlier."
Weather specialist Rick McCoy said that all indications in the extended forecast are that temperatures will be slightly below average through the middle of October with precipitation just slightly above average.
"However, there does appear to be somewhat of a warm-up in the making by the middle of next week," said McCoy. "Some forecasts indicate temperatures in the upper 70s to near 80 by next Wednesday, with no rain expected for the next week or so. If this holds true, farmers should expect some good harvest weather in the first part of October."

Lacey Mason, wtop.com
WASHINGTON - Usually, siblings meet each other on a birthday.
A baby is born and a big sister or brother is there to greet her. Some photos are taken, and while the new siblings may not be old enough to remember the specific event, it doesn't matter. Because by the time they're old enough, they can't remember a time without each other anyway.
But that's not always how it goes.
Sometimes, they meet at baggage claim at the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.
Context would probably be helpful.
I grew up an only child to a single mother -- she never had any other children and that was fine by me. Though young, I vividly remember conversations about potential siblings with my mother. Mostly due to my fear of sharing.
"Mom, if you have another baby, will you love it more than me?" I'd ask.
"No, I'll love you the same," she replied.
When I asked that loaded question the answer I expected was "I will love you more."
She got it wrong. But, luckily, she didn't push her child-bearing luck and my fear of sharing was never realized.
But what I didn't know then was that I was actually the youngest of four -- and in a few years I'd be the second youngest of five.
As I grew up, I naturally asked questions about my father. Through my mother's vague, protective answers I knew he might have other spawn and easily accepted it. My mother did a masterful job of making the whole situation seem uninteresting.
But nobody anticipated one of those half-sibling spawns would come looking for me.
Fast forward to age 21. Without a (profound) care in the world, my life got shaken up when I received a message on Myspace (it was still cool then, give me a break).
"...I am your sister and would love to talk and get to know you (if you want). Please let me know if it is not you though so that I can keep looking for my sister. Thanks!"
Up until that point, and few times since, I'd only been rendered speechless once - and that was when Scar killed Mufasa.
Growing up without a father or siblings means your reality simply doesn't include them. It isn't traumatic. But this sudden message from a stranger challenged both realities. It meant it was time to face where I came from and who I was.
Strangely, it also meant facing who I might have been.
Cassi is her name. Two years older than me she and her then husband moved from Nebraska to Arizona for warmer weather. They built an adobe-looking house in Maricopa and were working on finding their way.
The shock didn't end there. While I always had a hazy understanding there was a brother and sister out there, I didn't know I actually had three sisters and a brother.
The youngest was named *Jade -- which had almost been my name.
Figuring out where our relationship was going didn't take long. After a few exchanges she surprised me: She wanted to fly me out to Arizona.
Maybe it was weird to accept the offer from a relative stranger (no pun intended), but I didn't hesitate. So, about a year after that first message, I found myself in a Phoenix airport, searching for the girl in a picture.
And there she was. Unlike me, she had a cute little nose and flat eyelids. We both had dark hair, but our looks didn't share much else. Her husband was with her, but I couldn't help but look her over and hang on her every word, this girl who had blood like mine.
"I thought your hair would be curly," she said, remembering the pictures she'd seen of me.
"I straightened it," I replied, wondering if I'd already disappointed her but grateful for an easy conversation when we both knew words weren't possibly enough.
The three day visit was a blur. She wasn't feeling well when I came, but she didn't let it stop us. There was dinner at the Rainforest Cafe, drinking and the Montezuma Castle National Monument. Lots of questions were asked though there weren't as many answers. I found out I had my brother's chin (though I'd have preferred hers) and she'd named her childhood doll "Baby Lacey." She told me how excited and interested her mother was that we were finally meeting.

Very nice video Xav, as always. I'm looking forward to trying this out, the encounter sure looks more fun done that way than its "basic" version.
Here's a video of Premonition vs Sartharion, the 10 man version, with all of the drakes active upon engage. Warrior (myself) perspective.

i really like the positioning you have for sarth there. question though... why did you and the other tank switch off once you were done with the adds? and who did you have picking up the fire adds when they first spawned?
"If I'm doing a fight and I need more threat... I try harder. If I'm doing a fight and I need my taunts not to miss, then I wear hit." -Veneretio
another prot warrior was on blazes and such originally. we would have used a feral druid or death knight with more of a hybrid role, but we didn't have one available :[
i switched off with the tank on sartharion afterwards because i think i would take less damage, while the dk would also deal more damage
edit: bah, didn't reply fast enough (or anywhere near)
Very nice kill, btw, gave me some ideas for our one drake attempts.
You make it look so easy.
As others have said, that is an awesome video; my quick question: how many healers did you use?
What was the setup that you used? It looks like you had three healers and three tanks? I could see three different names in your SCT for incoming heals and while you were tanking the drakes, it definitely looked like someone else was handling the fire elementals. Does the third tank phase with the DPS on the portals and tank the dragonkin there?
So if you only had four DPS, how well geared were they? We just tried our first drake alive attempts last night and were seeing issues with not having any time to DPS the drakes in between killing the adds in the alternate phase and clearing out the elementals that accumulated while the DPS were phased. We were running two tanks and three healers.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
We ended up killing it with 3 healers (resto druid, resto shaman, holy paladin), and 3 tanks (unholy dk, and 2 prot warriors).
We made significant, and equal progress, with a 2 healer, 2 mainspec tank, 1 offspec tank setup. It was still my preferred setup - it was resto shaman, holy paladin, and prot warrior, unholy dk as tanks, with another unholy dk doing a hybrid tank/dps role to get adds/etc.
The tradeoff of going for another full healer, bumping it up to 3, is that the first part of the fight is harder, because you're going to get more spawns of Whelps from tenebron, and tank 2 drakes for a lot longer. But the last half gets easier, because you have another healer to help out with Twilight Torment.
With the 2 healer 2.5 tank setup we killed all 3 drakes several times, but our transitioning into the final part of the fight (going down to kill that final acolyte) was problematic, and we always lost the MT to Sartharion's raw physical damage somehow. We finally thought of a solution for it but never ended up returning to that 2/2.5 setup.
The raid ended up convincing me they wanted to try it with 3 healers so we did. Ultimately I don't think it would have made a difference on our success or not, it was other issues we had to straighten out.
Having someone dedicated to picking up loose blazes/whelps is a huge help. While I did spend a few attempts doing it all myself, as well as tanking Drakes, we found it hurt us more than it helped. Moving the drakes around that much reduced DPS, as people had to be more wary of positoning due to the drake breaths. As well as the fact that the Blazes themselves may get enraged and start hitting quite hard, which would put a lot more pressure on me if I was also tanking two drakes. And the fact that a loose enraged blaze up can kill someone in a few seconds flat, so having someone available to tank those asap made a big difference.
The DPS we brought is naturally pretty geared. Mostly full 25 man gear with a few 226 pieces each.
Did you tank sartharion with FR?
Very nice Xav, gratz on the kill, hopefully you got the mount ;p
I'm from Onyxia, where trade chat makes you wish you were in the barrens.
FR doesn't do much because resists are taken into account before % modifiers.
I already have the 25 man hard mode mount, so I passed on the 10 man one for now. It's also only 280, and I have a glad 310 mount so..
you sir are a beast. grats on that kill. and your 310% mount
Gotta give credit where its deserved. Made it look easy
mm, Quick question. Unable, to see, but I'm guessing the 'spawn' order is Middle, Left, Right? (When looking at Sartharion from the entrance).
From what I can see, nobody enters the portals until all 3 Drakes are dead, correct? At what drake does the boss go immune? The last only, right? :< (Atleast, only those portals?).
Looks fairly simple, although I havent tried it. Will probably be trying a similar tactic

Tenebron -> Shadron -> Vesperon, so its like:
Middle -> Right -> Left (according to your "looking at Sartharion").
Immune Shield is done by Shadron Acolyte (along with 2nd drake) and its mostly in all cases killed as last drake. And wasn't watching yet, but shouldn't they go inside the portal to kill Vesperon Acolyte, so there won't be 100% (Shadron raid wide debuff if still alive) and 75% (debuff if Acolyte of Vesperon is still up) fire debuff (175%) on Sartharion tank? That's the only time when you really need to go inside and of course at the end to kill Shadron Acolyte to take off Immune Shield from Sartharion to kill him after all 3 drakes are dead. I can be wrong and it's maybe done somehow in different way but that's what I was doing when we were trying to kill them.
Read a bit more into it, and only Vesperons adds cause the debuff iirc? Shadrons adds cause Sartharion to go immune.
I wouldn't really say Shadron should be killed last, unless ofc you get the first drake down at the exact time a new one comes up (So no DPS is lost, eg, getting Shadron to 80%, and then taking Vesperon to 0% - Instead Shadrons at 100%?) Dunno.
I'll be doing some testing anyway, but I'd say leaving Shadrons adds alive is viable, and only going into the portal every now and then to kill Vesperon's adds.
Afaik (killing 25 man version soon), Shadron is the one that kills Sartharion tank with his +100% fire damage debuff, so we kill it in 2nd position. But maybe we're wrong .
Well that's of course my guild way of doing it, there are probably plenty of tactics, all are fine and working properly, but some are probably easier to maintain with less geared/less focused players.
Here is how it works.
Each drakes have a global aura applied to you when you engage them, or when you engage Sartharion with them alive.
Vesperon's -25% health aura Power of Vesperon - Spell - World of Warcraft
Tenebron's +100% shadow damage taken aura Power of Tenebron - Spell - World of Warcraft
Shadron's +100% fire damage taken aura Power of Shadron - Spell - World of Warcraft
Those auras will be active until you kill that specific drake, they debuff you the moment you engage Sartharion, however.
In addition, the drakes have other abilities. In the event the drakes summon acolytes, they will summon new acolytes to replace those that are killed shortly after it dies, until the drake is dead and can no longer summon.
Tenebron, the first drake, hatches his eggs inside of the Twilight Realm. A few seconds after Tenebron casts Hatch Eggs (and flies around squirrely to do so), ~6 whelps phase into your realm.
Shadron, the second drake, summons in an Acolyte of his. A few seconds after the acolyte is active, the acolyte channels a buff on to Sartharion: Gift of Twilight - Spell - World of Warcraft
While it says Shadow damage increased, that's wrong. Sartharion doesn't even do any Shadow damage. It actually increases his fire damage, read the wowhead comment for more detail. The buff on Sartharion will remain until you kill the acolytes.
The last drake to land, Vesperon, also summons in an acolyte. When the acolyte finishes channeling, it puts up a debuff on the raid: Twilight Torment - Spell - World of Warcraft
This causes you to take about ~2-3k shadow damage, which can crit, whenever you deal damage. The catch is, the debuff disappears when it procs on you for a few seconds (about 2-3 seconds average usually), so it wont chain proc repeatedly. The debuff will continue to "flicker" if you deal damage, until the acolyte is dead.
I cant watch the vid atm but im assuming the DK used a rotation of antimagic zone/shell, bone armor, icebound fortitude for breaths with both shadron and vesperons accolyte up? Pally hand of sacrifice + bubble if needed? Interestingly you have almost exactly the same makeup we did 2 drake with but i figured we'd need to make switches to optimise the raid more but i guess not. ^_^

When seven-year-old cancer patient Julian Ross' outlook was classified as terminal, his parents helped him put together a bucket list. The list is made up of 12 requests, including a wish for a new van to help the family get back and forth from cancer treatments out of state. Our Candace Hopkins was with the family as an Oswego business made that hope a reality.
OSWEGO, N.Y. -- For Julian Ross every day is a blessing. The seven-year-old has been battling stage four neuroblastoma for more than a year.
"We tend not to focus too much on tomorrow. We focus more on today. Preplanning is not something you can do when you have a child who has cancer, because you'll get disappointed a lot," said Kristi Thompson, Julian's mother.
Julian's battle has been tough on his family. They are constantly back and forth between Oswego and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia for his treatments. And when their van recently broke down, the trip got even harder.
"Julian requires so much medical care. We have to carry a wheelchair, and we have a 50 pound suitcase of medical supplies that we have to have follow him wherever he goes," said Thompson.
That's why when it came time for Julian to put together a bucket list, getting his family a new van landed at number four. It wasn't long before Timebuyer Owner Bob Natoli stepped in to help.
"There's a lot of things in this vehicle that will make their trips to therapy and back a lot more comfortable and enjoyable so it felt great, it did," said Bob Natoli, Timebuyer owner.
Monday afternoon, Natoli presented Julian and his family with a 2006 Chrysler Town and Country. And a shy Julian happily gave it his seal of approval.
With their transportation worries solved, the family says their focus is once again on helping Julian grow strong with each passing day. Julian has also had several other wishes granted. He recently got a chance to meet the band Train, and to visit an aircraft carrier. His family is now working to achieve his number one goal: to build an addition on his home that would allow for more space for his treatment and recovery.

Sorry as I'm sure this has been discussed. I'm a long time player of Warhammer RP 2e, and think Chris P. is perhaps one of the best game designers in the business. WFRP 2e is perhaps my favorite of any RPG past & present. While I have no intention of playing Dragon Age RPG (why would I when WFRP 2e is the best fantasy RPG ever...), I really like the DA RPG system and think a Mass Effect version would fill my need for a Sci-Fi RPG.
Is there any word on a MA RPG game using the AGE system?
Thanks and sorry if I'm repeating an old topic,

What a good film. Fine acting, especially from the two leads, good plot and some exemplary photography, some little touches of genius (like the close up of the brothers face when he tries to scare his sister - perfect reflections like eyes in his glasses) Can hardly fault this film in any way - the inspiration for a genre.

First saw this movie during college in the late 60's while doing Calculus problems with the TV on PBS as background noise...I expected the general Pap from PBS and was ignoring the tube but when the Night of the Living Dead music came on I casually started to watch. Much to my suprise I became riveted to the screen and remained so until the closing credits. Even as a 20 something Black Belt, Living Dead gave me the creeps big-time. Still one of most frightening movies ever made.

This movie is still creepy after all these years.
Good enough to withstand repeated viewings without losing its effectiveness.
Similar in many ways to the movie 'The Last Man on Earth' which was based on the Richard Matheson novel 'I Am Legend.'
I seem to recall George Romero admitting that the story for his movie was mostly a rip-off of the Matheson novel.
I certainly won't hold that against him, though, as Night of the Living Dead is still one of the all time greats of horror movies.

Subject: Night of the Living Dead
A true horror movie of its time. Even for black and white. The story is increadible. However I must give it only 4 Stars. The actors are rediculously scared of ghouls that move, at a snails pace. Seriously, even in mass swarms you coudnt honestly be scared of Zombies that are slow moving. While Romeroes movies are Iconic they would have impressed me more, if the Zombies ran like hell after there victims. Then all these spin offs and remakes would not be made today.

Subject: CLASSIC
George Romero's Night of the Living Dead helped to pave the way for subsequent horror classsics like Halloween and The Exorcist by taking away the gothicism of the horror flicks of the '30s and '40s and replacing it with hopelessness and paranoia. The plot is simple. A brother and sister go to a cemetery, and, when the brother is killed by a "ghoul" (amazingly, the film never uses the term "zombie") the sister escapes and finds her way to an abandoned farmhouse where a small groupof survivors has holled up. Romero's
B-movie scenario of walking dead becomes horrifically believable as he shows us a realistic struggle between the characters and the attempts of the athorities to stop the deadly phenominon. The final ten minutes are gripping and show this is one of the most ionfluential horror films of the late 20th century

Great film by the way. I saw this when it was first out, and still enjoy seeing it again from time to time - still a very watchable film today, and amazing how such a well-made film was made on an absolute shoestring.

Subject: Night of the irradiated...
The plot summary here is incorrect that radiation caused this zombie ghoul plague.
Someone on the tv surmises this, but it is not definate.
George Romeros intention was for it be a mystery as to what caused it. But Because its not copywritten, the ideals of those that made it get lost in incorrect plot summary.
This is , always will be a major 'biter' in the film library.
George Romero has gone on to make Dawn of the Dead 1978, Day of the Dead 1985, Remade Night of the Living Dead with Tom Savini directing in 1990 .Land of the Dead 2005 ( I loved it) and due out late this year(2007), Diary of the Dead .
Say what you may, he will always be the father of contemporary zombie horror.

Subject: Two messages of the film
I appreciate Grimwig's review "The Brilliance of Romero's Social Criticism (SPOILERS)." However, I disagree with him insinuating that Romero "notes the possibility of recovery, though not in the present social institutions, but rather in a nostalgically represented tribal institution". It would be unfair to armed citizens commanded by Sheriff McClelland to call them a tribe, wouldn't it? Nevertheless, we should avoid to contribute to forming the maelstrom of such grave events as New Orleans Hurricane Katrina, post-nuclear nightmare, and attacks from dead locals in Pennsylvania where crisis management becomes necessary. And this is the first message of the film "Night of the Living Dead (1968)." The second message appears at the end of it. Watch the fragment 01:30:44-01:33:00 again and decide who was more incompetent in that crisis situation: Ben or Sheriff McClelland and his subordinates?

Subject: Still scary after all the years........
This movie has a special place in my life. Being poor as a kid, we used to sneak around the back fence of the local outdoor theater (Drive in Movie) to watch the weekly fare. The movie owners knew what we did and allowed it (what the heck let 'em watch). Three of us about ten years old watched this movie one Saturday night at the back fence and at one am had to walk by a graveyard to get home. All I remember is we were scared spitless and somebody yelled something's moving in the grave yard!! Feet don't fail me now....zing...I don't think my feet touched the ground while tearing my little ten year old butt home. Never knew if anything really was lurking about that night and never went back to find out...Night of the Living Dead still scares the bejezzus out of me.

Subject: The best zombie movie I've ever seen.
This film is a classic. Despite its age and low-quality special effects, it far surpasses any of the high-budget zombie movies released in recent years. The plot is interesting and complex, the characters are very real and well-acted, and frankly, the movie is just plain chilling. When I first watched it, I remember thinking a couple minutes in, "There's no way an old black and white zombie film can be that scary." It was very nice to find out I was wrong.

WOW!!! I just wanna say a BIG thank you to the INTERNET ARCHIVE for allowing the high-quality DVD-like download!!!
"Night of the Living Dead" is a great film, and this is basically the best way to get it (without a price) you can find! :-D
The video IS the full movie, and everything else is PERFECTLY fine with the video. Any problems with an error in sound or editing would be due to the original copy, not the file. The file should be 100% fine. There CAN be an error in some programs reading the length of the video, but I assure you, it's fine.
You CAN easily burn it to a DVD using a program (such as neroVision Express, etc.), and it looks incredible! I urge you to do it if you can! :-D
Thanks a lot,

Classic horror masterpiece from famed director George A. Romero. The dead return to life and seek human victims. A group of people hide in a farm house and try to stay alive and survive the NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD.
Originally titled "Night of the Flesh Eaters," the filmmakers decided that "Night of the Living Dead" would be a better title, and so it was changed. However, the copyright code was accidentally cut when the new title was put on the print, and thus, the film has fallen into the public domain.
This film stands the test of time purely for its scare factor. Despite it's low budget and very cheap special effects, the film is still very chilling, and is quite possibly one of the scariest films of all time.
As the second-most popular cult film of all time, there are about oh, let's say three million DVD releases for the film, many of which are pure crap.
If you just want the film, this download is the way to go. The recent Millenium Edition DVD from Elite Entertainment is essential for fans of the film for its many extras, including commentary tracks by the cast and crew.
There's also a colorized DVD being released by 20th Century Fox which you may want to pick up for the commentary by comedian Mike Nelson of TV's "Mystery Science Theater 3000."
I'm not trying to promote either one of these releases. Just offering advice for fans of the NIGHT.
Followed by three more movies: DAWN OF THE DEAD, DAY OF THE DEAD, and LAND OF THE DEAD, all of which are copyrighted (Romero learned his lesson after NOTLD came out).

Subject: The Brilliance of Romero's Social Criticism (SPOILERS)
Before beginning this review, I first want to state that I have not read any reviews nor listened to any commentaries on this film. So if what I say is already common knowledge, I hope you will forgive me.
The film 'Night of the Living Dead' is an exceptional tragedy and, I think, a jeremiad. After watching the film, you will have seen not just zombies, but a scathing criticism of social structures followed by a peculiar affirmation of humanity. It seems as if Romero himself was unsure whether to end on a positive or negative note.
The social criticism in this film arises from what may be one of the most powerful satires every presented on film. For the film chooses as the very source of the decay of social structures the keystone of human society. I mean, of course, ceremonial burial. Ceremonial burial is the center, and, next to fire, the beginning of society and culture. For respect for the dead is the recognition of one human being for another that he or she was more than just an animal, a hunk of flesh.
Now in the film, the dead, carefully prepared for burial as a sign of respect, rise and assault other humans. Their treatment of the living is appalling: humans are nothing but hunks of flesh, nay food. Here, then, is the very source of the human institutional society turning against the human. This same theme is mirrored in the tragic death of our protagonist by the human institution designed to save humans. It is perhaps telling, moreover, that fire, the other symbol of society''s beginnings, is the very thing the dead fear.
Furthermore, the dead not only assault other humans, but the sheer mass of them result in the breakdown of human institutions within these areas. For a time, not even the endeared radios and televisions are working. Everyone is surprisingly isolated, with the exception of the film's main characters, who have been forced together into an abandoned home. The irony is that, even within the very house, the characters are isolated. In the basement, unbeknownst to those above for a large portion of the film, are several other people, who make no effort to come to the aid of the others.
A further note on this segregation is that those beneath are those in relationships, including a family. Hence, those engaged in social institutions are put on a level beneath those on the first floor, who are entirely dissociated. Barbara, the female lead above, is mostly devoid of communicative powers, mirroring the televisions and radios. The male lead is, perhaps astonishingly for the time, a Negro. The resultant dichotomy presents an exalting of anarchy. This anarchy is pushed to its limits when the child in the basement slaughters and begins consuming her own parents. Such an image is an image of the complete upset of society. Children turning on parents is lamented as social breakdown as early as Plato.
However, despite all that has happened, human institutions nevertheless adapt and compensate. The resulting institution is one suspiciously resembling tribalism; in other words, man has been reduced to the most primitive mode of social organization. The only distinction between the group in the film and a primitive tribe is the use of modern weapons. Yet, it is still a group of men, with a leader, hunting the enemies of the people.
This, then, is where I detect a note of hope. Romero's aggressive satire becomes a jeremiad when he notes the possibility of recovery, though not in the present social institutions, but rather in a nostalgically represented tribal institution.
In conclusion, this brief and unrefined essay is just that: an essay on a particular theme of the film, necessarily far from comprehensive out of respect to archive.org. My hope, as with all my reviews, is that it enkindles your own reflections on what I conceive to be a film surprisingly rich in meaning. For the theme above is developed to greater complexity in the film, I believe, and other themes may also be present.

There''s a man up ahead..
Indisputable classic of the horror canon, I''ve seen this, maybe 3 times now (after initially dismissing it) and since I KNOW (or sort of know) what''s going to happen, there''s more feeling of dread watching this. I''m presuming you know the story. The living dead come back to life.. something about radiation.. and they come and raise living hell! Plenty of unforgettable moments in this one, most notably Judith O''Dea''s performance at the beginning, and Duane Jones in the end. There''s plenty of neat little flourishes in this that I like, particularily the shift of status many of the characters take, and of course, the obvious race question of not just the ending but the whole movie. This is all quite fascinating and VERY entertaining!

Subject: THE DEAD LIVE, AGAIN & AGAIN!!!
A definative "DRIVE-IN CLASSIC", made on a shoestring budget, creating a new vision for the horror film genre.
Amid the shoddy and amateur acting, the film tells the story of "RADIATION FROM SPACE", which transforms corpses into "FLESH EATING ZOMBIES".
George A. Romero breaks the social taboos of the time, creating characters who, commit and suffer the worst of brutalities.
In "ROMERO'S DEAD SOCIETY", no one cares about anyone else. Family bonds don't matter, courage is punished, and logic doesn't solve anything.

Subject: This movie trudges along like the living dead
An enjoyable old film but a little slow moving.
Atomic rays brought back from a NASA craft returning from Venus cause the recently dead to come back to life and eat people's flesh. Some not-yet-dead people get holed up in a house trying to defend themselves while the living dead wait outside and prepare to attack. Their only hope is for the town's people to come to their rescue!
This film is badly in need of restoration. The film is so old that a dark fuzz appears around some of the characters. Sometimes the movie gets too dark or too light. None of these problems affects the enjoyment of the movie.
Happy and Sad ending. Happy that the living dead are expunged, but sad for all the main characters in the show when the town's people finally come to rescue (or so-called rescue). I never could figure out if the blonde had been contaminated or not (probably so) but then she gets eaten before we really truly find out. Oh well. The gore was just not really disturbing at all to me, but I gues someone might find it slightly disturbing. Everything was decent acting except the young guy with the wife. He was stiff as a board. I enjoyed the news reports part of the movie, they should have done more, it broke up the monotony and gives information about how the disease appears and spreads.
It's not a "great" film and it trudges along slowly like how the living dead do but for the most part is enjoyable and memorable if you don't mind very old b/w movies. After watching you can see why it has such a cult following. As far as zombie movies genre goes this movie probably started it all.

Subject: mp4 bad quality
ja, mp4 is really unbearable quality, bad job. all blurred and going against the character of the movie, a real disgrace and should get redone. It's really sad to see how often archivers lack respect and responsibility for the works they are to provide to the public, instead of taking pride in their position and show some expertise.

Subject: Great movie...
... but the MPEG2 file needs to be looked at. I downloaded it twice and both times the movie just stopped in the last 15 minutes or so when converted to DVD. I played the original MPEG2 file in several pieces of playback software and had the same thing happen every time: the sound dropped in and out and sputtered (imagine a scratched disk in a set top DVD player, but the picture's continuing just fine) at the same point that the DVD files would just stop. This went on through the rest of the movie.

Subject: The dead come full circle
I just watched the streaming video today. I am a mere couple of hours away from attending the premier of "Land of the Dead". I could not have concieved of a better time to watch this film again. I watched it with a few coworkers and friends and have made a few new recruits.
Even after 37 years, this film still holds up. So many themes are touched upon. From life and death, to sexism and racism, even a bit of classism, Romero skillfully pulls back the curtain on the dark parts of the human race and shines a light on it. Not a big spot light, just a small pen light, so we have to look closely to what he's showing us and get real close up and see that the gut pile in the back corner is our own.
Throughout the triology (so far) human apathy and greed are the killers, not the undead flesheaters. Man refuses to see the killer at hand and deal with it himself. No matter what man does to ensure safety and well being, someone is going to screw it up and it will likely be the ones in authority. At least, the ones that seek to be in authority. This film requires a scale of far more tham five stars to properly rate it.

Subject: Good Stuff
The file worked just fine for me. I still had to transcode it from the MPEG2 file in Nero to get it to work on a standard DVD, but everything else seems to works great.
As for the movie itself, this is a genre-starter. There was no need for advanced special effects, the entire draw of this movie is the story, the setting, but most importantly the mood. Even if you buy it in the store, watch it on your computer, whatever, this is a great movie that should give you an idea of what can be accomplished with so little.

Subject: mpeg2 appears incomplete for some players
Like another user, wilfredsoutham, I too have downloaded the 4 Gigs worth of mpeg2 overnight, only to find that there is over 1/2 hour missing. The video seemed to run only for 55 minutes.
But on closer scrutiny I discovered that my player's clock was running at a rate of about 0.6 seconds per second. Other video files don't display this strange behaviour...
After de- and re-muxing, I've managed to burn this movie to DVD, and it plays fine on my stand alone DVD player + TV, despite my earlier concerns about NTSC (we're all PALs down ere).

Subject: shivers......
The first time I saw this was on a 12 inch b&w TV and a rental VCP. I was all alone in an el-cheapo hotel. Watched it all the way through, with the lights out. when it was over I looked out the window and saw some bum walking down the road all alone, sort of swaggering. Now, I knew it was just a movie, but for a split second, I was petrified...
If you can suspend your disbelief and just absorb this film, in the end, you will have what I like to call "the willies".

Subject: All zombie movies are footnotes to this one
Romero's stark conception remains an expression of our fears about not having made peace with the dead. In Antigone and Hamlet, the actual death of a brother or father has not been matched with appropriate burial rites. The dead return to figuratively or literally haunt the living until this symbolic debt is paid. In Night of the Living Dead, the zombies are not evil, since they desire nothing; they are unwilling embodiments of the breakdown in the symbolic order which has failed to make their deaths meaningful. Like Hitchcock's The Birds, this film is a psychotic episode in which Oedipal guilt and resentment of maternal law are physically incarnated as a struggle to survive. The characters are caught in a melodramatic obsession with destroying living corpses in a gruesome game of capture the flag. This pretext masks Ben's melancholic identification with the unstoppable, Terminator-like drive of the dead, vs. the impotent desires of the living.
Romero and his disciples like Raimi somehow missed the point of their own beginnings and went on to make ludicrous self-parodic gorefests in the 70's and 80's (e.g. Evil Dead, the most trivializing title imaginable for a horror film). But the problem of the "living dead" remains--we must incorporate them into our cultural narrative, at our own psychic peril. The daily death toll from the invasion of Iraq comes to mind.

Subject: It Holds Up
This is an especially good time to be re-viewing this movie, with "28 Days Later" and the remake of "Dawn of the Dead" bringing the zombie theme back into the theaters.
It's a powerful little movie, not so much scary as disturbing. The undead ghouls have a strangely mournful quality: their arms reach out longingly, and they utter these strange, wistful sighs. The besieged living are, as frequently mentioned, unsympathetic: with the exception of Tom and Judy they seem generally dead inside, at least to feeling.
Unlike the remake of "Dawn of the Dead," this movie and its sequel suggest that there's not a lot to choose between being alive or dead. But whereas Romero's original "Dawn" offered its horrors in lurid colour to grotesque and satiric effect, this movie, with its black-and-white countryside gives us a sinister air of darkness and gloom.
A tremendously influential film that still has the power to unsettle.

Subject: A True Classic
If there is one talky horror film that should be seen as a classic, it is definatly this one. The undead are not huge works of special effects, nor are they anything other than lumbering beasts. But the threat they pose is well demonstrated - the film makes them feel unstoppable and relentless and makes their lingering presence more menacing and less comical than it could have been. The use of an unknown cast also makes it more realistic as none of them have any baggage. Duane Jones is the standout actor as Ben - who is not without flaws himself.
The downbeat, realistic atmosphere to the film gives it a greater sense of tension and continues right through to the very depressing conclusion. An excellent flagship for low budget horrors.

NC man receives life sentences for 2 Va. slayings
A North Carolina man convicted of killing two people in Virginia has received two life sentences.
The Virginian-Pilot ( http://bit.ly/Y6noqO) reports that Charles Collins of Pollocksville, N.C., also was sentenced Monday in Chesapeake Circuit Court to 58 years in prison on related charges.
Collins had pleaded guilty in October 2012 to two first-degree murder counts, four abduction counts and several weapons charges.
Deputy Public Defender A. Robinson Winn says prosecutors agreed not pursue the death penalty in exchange for Collins' plea.
Prosecutors say Collins fatally shot his ex-girlfriend's boyfriend, 40-year-old Michael Temple of Elizabeth City, N.C., and her son, 19-year-old Derwin Watts II of Chesapeake, on April 22, 2012.
A police SWAT team shot and wounded Collins during a standoff.

Neighbors complain about loud idling buses
WTOP's Nick Iannelli reports.
What are some other wasteful things you see in your community? Post a comment in this story, comment on WTOP's Facebook Page or use #WTOP on Twitter.
SILVER SPRING, Md. - A Montgomery County Ride On bus depot in Silver Spring that's been rattling nearby homes and emanating a perpetual rumbling has residents wondering whether it's necessary.
"Unfortunately, there is quite a bit of noise," says Evelyn O'Brien, who lives in the unincorporated Chevy Chase area. "We can hear them during the night and very early in the morning."
O'Brien says the noise of idling buses from the Brookeville Depot travels through a wooded area and into her home even with the windows closed.
Her husband, Bernie O'Brien, is hard of hearing, but he says the buses come through loud and clear.
"Having moved from a quieter place we can't believe the noise," he says. "It's constant."
County downplays idling
The depot serves as a hub for 150 buses, as well as dozens of other vehicles -- all of which carry rules and regulations.
One policy pertains specifically to buses left running.
"Our general policy is that we don't allow our buses to be idled for longer than 3 minutes," says Carolyn Biggins, chief of the Montgomery County Division of Transit Services.
"We don't just blanket-idle the buses," she says.
Biggins admits the vehicles run often for cleaning, safety checks and general maintenance, but she and other county officials have said prolonged idling is not a problem.
"There's a multi-part process for how buses are placed back in their parking spot," says Bill Griffiths, division chief for Montgomery County's Division of Fleet Management Services.
"We have a monitor on-site that makes sure that the buses aren't left idling for any amount of time," he says.
Still, on numerous occasions, WTOP spotted vehicles idling with nobody in sight for well over the 3-minute limit.
Sometimes, buses ran for at least 30 minutes with their interior lights off.
In one instance, a driver stepped out of her vehicle and turned off a separate bus that had been running for nearly 20 minutes after she noticed WTOP documenting the scene.
Both she and the driver refused to answer any questions.
As a result of WTOP's investigation, the county released a statement from Biggins and Griffiths saying the county is committed to running the depot "in a way that minimizes its impact" on the surrounding neighborhood.
"That includes eliminating unnecessary idling of buses. Unfortunately, we have discovered that everyone working at the depot has not been following established operating standards," the statement reads. "This is unacceptable."
Montgomery County Executive Isiah "Ike" Leggett called the idling buses "a concern" and said the county's goal is to make sure buses are idling below 3 minutes.
"I want to make certain we are not idling for inappropriate reasons," Leggett says. "We're going to work to see whether or not we can reduce those times."
Idling harms the environment
Drivers are not simply disregarding rules when they leave buses running, they also may be harming the environment.
The Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, which closely monitors air quality in the D.C. area, recently launched a campaign aimed at limiting idling.
"We were focusing on trucks and buses that are fueled by diesel and are putting nitrogen oxides and fine particulates into the air," says Joan Rohlfs, COG's environmental resources program director.
Rohlfs says the council has worked to get cleaner government vehicles on the roads, but the anti-idling initiative centered around commercial fleets.
"We have limited resources, and idling is very widespread," she says. "It's a difficult thing to address."
Editor's Note:
Read the full statement from Montgomery County below:
"For 38 years, Montgomery County has operated a bus depot in Silver Spring that is currently the hub for 150 buses. The County is committed to operating this facility in a way that minimizes its impact on our neighbors, and that includes eliminating unnecessary idling of buses. Unfortunately, we have discovered that everyone working at the depot has not been following established operating standards. This is unacceptable.
This week, we have taken a number of steps to prevent this problem from recurring, including ordering staff and contractors to follow proper procedures and providing staff resources to oversee operations and ensure compliance.
The bus depot is a 24/7 operation that involves inspecting buses before they go into service and washing, cleaning, fueling and maintaining buses when they return to the depot. Buses must be turned on - sometimes for extended periods of time - to conduct Federally mandated safety checks, to heat them or cool them for passengers and to move them around the lot for maintenance.
Over the years, we have worked closely with the community to modify our operations to reduce noise whenever possible. We will continue to address operational issues that do not meet our guidelines for minimizing noise."

"Girls," "Grey's Anatomy" and "Private Practice" -- How Once-Great Feminist Programming Let Us Down
No one died in last week's episode of "Grey's Anatomy." Though the institution of marriage was certainly on the chopping block: Sandra Oh's union was dealt a fatal blow, lapsed virgin Sarah Drew gleefully fled a shotgun wedding, and any remaining sexual chemistry between Ellen Pompeo and Patrick Dempsey was killed by baby-making issues. Chandra Wilson spent the hour dreading her impending nuptials until Oh persuaded her to accept the rite as a necessary evil: just strap on the dress and think of England.
Watching the show's alternately unconvincing, saccharine, tart and touching plot threads wend toward their conclusion, I steeled myself for the inevitable jolt of violence I'd learned to expect from "Grey's" and its OB-GYN spinoff, "Private Practice."
To my surprise, the episode ended benignly. Letting down my guard, I settled in to enjoy the twisty political adult soap "Scandal," grateful writer-producer Shonda Rhimes (the force behind "Grey's" and "Practice") didn't feel the need to deploy visceral bloody shocks to heighten suspense on her youngest series.
And then, a split-second before "Scandal's" credits rolled, I watched a key romantic character — the president of the United States — get felled by a bullet to the head. As I recoiled from the image on-screen, I realized how frequently Rhimes' shows had me turning from my evening's entertainment with a shriek.
No one can deny we live in a violent universe. In these times of "real" rape and mandatory pregnancy, with warfare flaring up around the globe as regularly as the next climate-change-powered natural disaster, I understand the desire to reflect something other than a bright shiny Pollyanna view. An African-American woman in Hollywood — even one who's amassed an adult-drama TV empire, no mean feat in our cartoon-superhero age — surely has seen her share of ugliness. Rhimes should be free to exercise and exorcize whatever demons haunt her. And for years she's done just that, deploying a rich blend of gifted actors in chewy lowbrow adventures elevated by goofy-sarcastic wit and inexplicably compelling twists. But those of us previously not embarrassed to be fans now regularly find ourselves hostages of Rhimes' sadistic skills, wanting to look away, powerless not to watch, punished for doing so. Like horror-movie actors doomed to be sliced up for having sex, we're seduced by Rhimes' soap opera tactics, titillated by her flinty-comic voice, then decimated by her bloody plotting, her propensity for mutilating and murdering her characters — and torturing her viewers.
Rhimes began the uneven final season of "Grey's" dodging a resolution of her previous gory cliff-hanger, limply setting up new plot threads as if she were weary of its ninth year's grind. The opener and episodes that followed struggled to find a footing tonally, with alternately slack and wobbly storytelling that did not reflect the series at its best. Yet one constant element shone through: Rhimes' blood lust for the grisly reveal, a sudden stick in the eye to viewers who'd been naively lulled into a sense of enjoyment. Eric "McSteamy" Dane's protracted murder — while the blood was still drying from his True Love Chyler Leigh's own brisk character/contract termination — was an oddly halfhearted effort, but the abrupt, brutal display of Jessica Capshaw's mutilated body was vintage Rhimes.
A recent parallel-losses episode of "Grey's" ended with Oh watching her new bestie William Daniels keel over dead across the open body of a surgical patient. Oh fled to the arms of her original True "Person," Pompeo, who'd spent the hour haunted by her deceased half-sister as she fought to save a patient whose plight echoed that of Leigh's newly dispatched character. "Lexie's dead," Pompeo told Oh by way of greeting, a long-delayed acknowledgment. "I know," said Oh. "Everyone is."
