On March 14, Tania Chairez and Jessica Hyejin Lee walked into the Immigration and Customs Enforcement offices in downtown Philadelphia and handed over letters demanding the release of Miguel Orellana, an undocumented immigrant who has been detained for eight months at a Pennsylvania detention center. Both Chairez, a 19-year-old sophomore at the University of Pennsylvania, and Lee, a 20-year-old junior at Bryn Mawr College, were undocumented immigrants themselves, having been brought to the U.S. by their parents at ages 5 and 12, respectively. After making their demand, they exited the building, sat down in the middle of the street, and began shouting "Undocumented! Unafraid!" They were arrested after refusing to move, putting themselves at risk of deportation in the process.
With Washington unlikely to take up immigration reform any time soon, some immigrants, like activists in the Occupy and LGBT movements, are turning to more confrontational tactics. Young undocumented immigrants across the country have come out as "undocumented and unafraid" in the most conspicuous of places: in front of the Alabama Capitol; in Maricopa County, Ariz., home of Sheriff Joe Arpaio; in front of federal immigration courts; and even inside ICE offices, processing centers, and detention centers. While they sometimes have specific causes, such as Orellana's release, they also had a larger demand: that the civil and human rights of all undocumented immigrants be recognized and respected.
This is a marked change in goals and tactics from just one or two years ago, when the DREAM Act, which would have given some young undocumented immigrants a path to securing legal status, was the main immigration issue. Young activists, including many potential beneficiaries who are known as DREAMers, organized, rallied, held sit-ins, and undertook hunger strikes. A small group even marched from Florida to Washington, D.C., to press for its enactment. But it failed in Congress. Since then, students like Chairez and Lee are dreaming bigger and bolder. They aren't just arguing that DREAMers like themselves — college students with clean records whose parents brought them to the U.S. when they were children — should be given a path to citizenship. They are helping to break down the artificial divisions — including those made by people who consider themselves immigrant advocates — between "model" immigrants (i.e., DREAMers) and others. Activists are forcing ICE to live up to its word that it is focusing its efforts on deporting "dangerous" criminals and not DREAMers. "We believe that regardless of [Miguel's] immigration status, he should be treated as a human being," Chairez shouted into a megaphone while seated in the street during the demonstration. "We have human rights."
Youth-led immigrants-rights groups have organized in support of such efforts. The National Immigrant Youth Alliance has published an online "Coming Out Guide" and sponsored a "Coming Out of the Shadows" week this month. The movement has caught the attention of traditional immigrants-rights groups. National Council of La Raza is cautiously on board, stressing that coming out is an individual choice. "For many of the students this is their way of moving their advocacy forward," says Laura Vazquez, a legislative analyst at NCLR. "We think it has been tremendously helpful for individual students who take that choice and make that decision." However, some groups, like the American Immigration Council, see the tactic as too dangerous. "[The AIC] would never recommend to anyone that they put themselves at risk," says communications director Wendy Sefsaf.
Yet, increasingly, young undocumented immigrants are doing just that and insisting that they will no longer remain silent. So far, according to activists, none of the recent acts of civil disobedience have resulted in deportation, but the threat remains very real as the Obama administration continues to deport young undocumented immigrants, including those whose cases have received considerable publicity. Young activists are well aware that any kind of legislative reform in the short-term, and especially before this fall's elections, is highly unlikely.
They're using their actions, however, to raise awareness and funding in support of their cause. In Philadelphia, within hours of Chairez and Lee's arrest other DREAMers kicked off a well-orchestrated publicity campaign. Emails were sent from Chairez and Lee's accounts stating, "If you are reading this email I have been arrested in a planned act of civil disobedience." Dream Activist Pennsylvania, an organization of which both are members, sent out messages to followers on Twitter and posted videos of their arrest, as well as video messages Chairez and Lee recorded prior to the action. The organization also sent out messages soliciting donations for their bail. News of the arrests spread via television, radio and English- and Spanish-language print media outlets.
By engaging in direct confrontations and being more open about their undocumented status, these activists hope to pave the way for broader changes than the ones the DREAM Act would have achieved.

Description 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an inverter with a rectifier which is powered by an alternating-current (AC) voltage supply, and which delivers substantially a half-wave rectified voltage. A charging regulator is provided incorporating a charging condenser connected through a charging diode and a charging inductor to the rectifier, as well as a charging switch which is periodically closed by a control component with a variable keying ratio to connect the charging inductor to the rectifier. The inverter includes an AC voltage converter with two alternatingly controlled switches supplied with power by the charging condenser, hereafter identified as the primary switch and the secondary switch, which are in a series circuit in parallel with the charging condenser. In this arrangement the switching frequency of the charging switch and also of the AC voltage converter are higher than the frequency of the AC voltage supply. 2. Discussion Of The Prior Art An inverter of this type is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,251,752, incorporated herein by reference, in which the keying ratio for control of the charging switch is determined by a regulator which has the half-wave voltage of the rectifier coupled thereto as a reference value. This occurs, however, in a relatively complicated circuit. In such a circuit the charging regulator should be deactivated when no energy is withdrawn from the charging condenser, for example, during non-oscillating periods of the alternating voltage converter. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to simplify the control of the charging switch in an inverter of the above-mentioned type; in particular, a design is provided such that the charging regulator will automatically switch off at a non-oscillating condition of the alternating voltage converter and operate with as low a loss as possible. The foregoing object is achieved by the invention as described herein for an inverter of this type in that the control component for the charging switch of the charging regulator is synchronized with the square wave voltage at one of the switches of the alternating voltage converter. Thus, in accordance with the present invention, the charging switch operates at the same switching frequency as the alternating voltage converter, and the control voltage for the charging switch, for example, across a capacitative voltage divider, is taken from the square-wave voltage at a switch of the alternating voltage converter. When this voltage terminates during a non-oscillating condition of the alternating voltage converter, then the charging switch of the charging regulator also remains open. At a disruption, accordingly only the alternating voltage converter need be deactivated. The keying ratio of the actuation switching period of the charging switch relative to the total period interval determines the voltage on the charging condenser and also has an effect on the waveform of the supply current. This keying ratio is preferably determined by the charging period of a delay storage element, particularly a delay condenser. The charging or discharging circuit associated with the condenser includes one of the switches of the alternating current voltage converter for synchronizing. Pursuant to a first embodiment of the present invention, the actuation period of the charging switch extends to the end of the square-wave voltage on one of the switches of the alternating voltage converter, and its commencement is determined through the end of the charging period of the delay storage element at a response value which begins with the commencement of the above square-wave voltage. The actuation period is thus smaller than the half period interval by the charge period of the delay storage element. With the prerequisite that the mean voltage on the charging condenser should be only slightly larger than the peak value of the half-wave voltage of the rectifier, the discharge voltage (difference between the voltages on the charging condenser and on the rectifier) of the charging inductor varies very greatly within a half-wave of the supply alternating voltage. At a constant keying ratio, this leads to deviations of the supply current from a sinusoidal form. In order to avoid this, the keying ratio has, in a known manner as disclosed by German Laid-open Patent Application No. 26 52 275, incorporated herein by reference, in the middle region of each half-wave of the half-wave voltage of the rectifier a minimum value, and in the first and last third of the half-wave, a maximum value, and varies therebetween in controlled dependency upon the instantaneous value of this half-wave voltage or the voltage on the charging condenser. The minimum value is preferably designed or chosen such that the charging inductor, at rated voltage on the charge condenser and charged at its rated load, can be fully discharged before each charge. Furthermore, it is advantageous that the keying ratio is also dependent upon the median value of voltage on the charging condenser in order to maintain this voltage as constant as possible. The operation of the converter with semiconductor elements additionally requires voltages at a low level. In accordance with a further advantageous modification of the present invention, the circuit is extensively loss-free through the use of a voltage divider formed by two condensers which are arranged in parallel with one of the switches of the alternating voltage converter and also limit the voltage rise upon opening of the switch. This aids in the utilization of transistors as switches by lowering the switching-off losses. The alternating voltage converter which is supplied by the charging regulator can be constructed as a bridge circuit with four switches or with two switches and two condensers; preferably, however, this relates to a reversing alternating voltage converter with only two switches and one load branch, which is connected in parallel with the secondary switch, and has in series a reversing condenser, the load, a series resonant circuit, and the primary winding of a saturation transformer. The saturation transformer includes secondary windings for the alternating control of the two switches of the alternating voltage converter, whereby the operating frequency of the alternating voltage converter, which is determined by the saturation transformer, is somewhat above the resonant frequency of the series resonant circuit. When utilizing transistors as the switches in connection with the known anti-parallel connected return flow diodes, this assures an avoidance of an overlapping of the switching periods of the transistors. The starting pulse is conducted from a trigger condenser through a trigger diode to the primary switch of the alternating voltage converter. The inverter is primarily designed for the operation of discharge lamps with preheatable electrodes, wherein the condenser of the series resonant circuit is always placed between the two electrodes of one discharge lamp. Accordingly, for a continually ignition resistant lamp, provision must be made for switching-off of the inverter. A bistable switching device which serves this purpose is connected through by a trigger signal and includes a maintaining current circuit through which this switch condition is maintained until interruption of the maintaining current circuit. Inventively, this maintaining current circuit and the charging current circuit of a starting condenser includes therein one of the electrodes of the discharge lamp or the series circuit of two electrodes in a two-lamp circuit. During a lamp change, the switched-off condition is automatically terminated, and the lamp operation is again resumed without the entire illuminated installation having to be switched off. Preferably serving as a switch installation is a stop thyristor which short circuits the starting condenser and a switch-off winding of the saturation transformer in the case of a continually ignition resistant lamp, and thereby deactivates the alternating voltage converter and indirectly therewith also the charging regulator. This condition is maintained up to the interruption of the maintenance current of the stop thyristor. The maintenance circuit for this purpose is connected via an electrode of the discharge lamp and a resistor to the supply voltage, for example the charge condenser. Upon a changing of the lamp, this current circuit is forceably interrupted and the short circuit terminated. After the insertion of a new lamp the starting condenser can again charge and the inverter automatically reassumes its operation. Reference may now be had to the following detailed description of two sample embodiments of the invention, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which: FIG. 1 illustrates a first embodiment of an inverter circuit pursuant to the present invention; FIG. 2 illustrates a plot of the half-wave voltage of the rectifier G (in dashed lines) and the cycle of the current I1 through a charge inductor; FIG. 3a illustrates the cycle of the voltage U1 on the charge inductor; FIG. 3b shows the current I1 through the charge inductor; and FIG. 3c illustrates the phase of the synchronized square-wave voltage UT1 in the sample embodiment according to FIG. 1. Referring to FIG. 1, a rectifier G is coupled in a two way circuit at its input through a filter (not shown) to an alternating voltage supply (220 volts/50 cycles), and supplies power at its output to a charging condenser C through a charging inductor L and a charging diode D. An alternating voltage converter is coupled in parallel with capacitor C, and comprises two alternatingly connected transistors in a series circuit. The transistor T3 connecting to a charging diode D is designated hereafter as the secondary transistor, and the other transistor T1 is designated as the primary transistor. Connected in parallel with the secondary transistor T3 is a load branch with a discharge lamp E, a series resonant circuit C2, L2, a reversing condenser C1, and the primary winding L30 of a saturation transformer, all in a series circuit. The condenser C2 of the series resonant circuit is located between the two preheatable electrodes of the discharge lamp E, which has one electrode connected directly to the charging condenser C. The saturation transformer includes two secondary windings L31, L32, as well as a switch-off winding L33. The secondary windings L31, L32 are connected in the control circuits of the primary and secondary transistors T1, T3 such that they are alternatingly controlled during the remagnetization or resaturation period of the saturation transformer. The saturation transformer is selected such that the operating frequency of the alternating voltage converter, which is determined thereby, is somewhat above the resonant frequency of the series resonant circuit. This produces time gaps between sequential control pulses, such that a concurrent conductance of the primary and secondary transistors, and thus a short circuiting of the voltage on the charging condenser C, is precluded. To allow current to flow during the time period of concurrent blocking of both transistors, current return diodes D1, D2 are provided in parallel with each of the transistors. During the conductive period of the primary transistor T1, the voltage of the charging condenser is applied to the load branch and charges the reversing condenser C1 with the polarity indicated in FIG. 1. After blocking of transistor T1, current flows through the load branch, driven by the inductor L2 of the series resonant circuit, and flows through the return current diode D2 until transistor T3 is actuated. Thereafter, the reversing condenser C1 discharges through transistor T3 and the load branch until T3 is again blocked. Thereafter, the load current flows in the same direction across the charge condenser C and the return current diode D1 until the renewed actuation of transistor T1. The cycle of the square wave voltage UT1 on the primary transistor is illustrated (in an idealistic case) in FIG. 3c. The electrical energy which is discharged from the charging condenser C during operation of the converter is conducted to recharge the capacitor C from the voltage present across rectifier G, said voltage being coupled to capacitor C through the charging inductor L and the charging diode D. In the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 1, for this purpose, the primary transistor T1 and a charging thyristor T2 in a series circuit form a load charging switch which is coupled in parallel with the rectifier G through the charging inductor L. Preferably the charging thyristor T2 has a construction which does not block in the reverse direction, but functions like a diode. In this instance, the return current diode D2 can be eliminated since its function is assumed by the charging thyristor T2 in a series circuit with D. A triggering of the charging thyristor T2 is possible only during conductive periods of the primary transistor T1 of the alternating voltage converter accordingly at the timepoint T1 at the end of a delay period "a" subsequent to the actuation timepoint t0 to T1 (refer to FIGS. 3a through 3c). Until a renewed blocking of T1 the charging inductor is connected to the half-wave voltage of the rectifier G and takes up energy which it discharges after the blocking of T1 through the charging diode D to the charging condenser C or respectively the alternating voltage converter connected thereto and its appliances. The charging and discharging of the charging inductor are thereby synchronized with the switching sequences of the converter, which oscillates, for example, at 40 khz. With the same frequency the charging inductor is charged and discharged during half-waves of the half-wave voltage delivered by the rectifier G, whereby the current IL through the charging inductor has the schematically illustrated cycle of FIG. 3b. The current pulses are integrated by the filter ahead of the rectifier to a generally sinusoidal supply current, such that the filter, because of the high switching frequency, can be relatively small. FIGS. 3a and 3b illustrate on an enlarged scale a cycle of the voltage UL at the charging inductor L and its current IL during a charging and discharging cycle. The charging inductor L is always charged to the instantaneous value of the half-wave voltage, as a result of which the rise of the charging current correspondingly varies. In contrast therewith, for discharging of the inductor, the difference between the instantaneous value of the half-wave voltage and the practically constant voltage on the charging condenser C is significant, so that the longest possible discharging period at a maximum instantaneous value is obtained. The keying ratio V of the actuation period TL of the charging switch to the period interval T depends upon the delay period "a" for triggering of the charging thyristor T2 with respect to the actuation timepoint to of the primary transistor T1. It is to be selected such that the maximum energy stored by the charging inductor, in effect at the point in time of the maximum value of the half-wave voltage, can discharge completely through the charging diode D prior to its subsequent charging. Only then, upon triggering of the charging thyristor T2, will there be no return current through the charging diode D and hence a switching of the charging thyristor without any loss. Furthermore it is possible only then to achieve the smallest possible dimension for the charging inductor. Charging thyristor T2 is controlled synchronously by the switching sequences of the converter. For this purpose its control section is coupled through a trigger diode (DIAC) D9 to a delay condenser C6 which is connected in parallel (1) through a discharge diode D8 to the secondary transistor T3, and (2) through the primary transistor T1, an adjustable discharge resistor R1, and an isolation diode D7, to a control voltage source. This control voltage source consists of a control transistor T5 and a storage condenser C5 arranged in parallel therewith. Together with a diode D5 and a divider condenser C7 this storage condenser forms a voltage divider coupled in parallel with the primary transistor T1, which is correspondingly charged periodically through T3 and discharged through T1. In this manner there is produced at capacitor C5 a practically loss-free lower operating voltage, tapped off the high voltage on the charging condenser C, the amplitude of which is limited by a Zener diode D6 which concurrently serves to discharge C7. Capacitors C5 and C7 concurrently limit the voltage rise across T1, and effectively provide deactivation unloading. When secondary transistor T3 is conducting, the charging thyristor T2 is rapidly blocked through R5, D4, and the delay condenser C6 is discharged through D8. The charging thereof commences at the beginning of the conducting control action of the primary transistor T1 at this timepoint. From that time on the storage condenser C5 discharges through D7, R1, and the primary transistor T1, into the delay condenser C6, whose voltage, after a delay period "a" adjustable at R1, reaches a value at which the trigger diode D9 will activate and trigger the charging thyristor T2. This simple, synchronized control of the charging thyristor is also advantageous inasmuch as the delay condenser C6 will assume a higher potential than the storage condenser C5. An essentially constant operating voltage is present on the storage condenser C5 which also serves for a constant time delay "a". The related different-length discharge periods of the charging inductor lead, however, to a deviation of the current charged from the alternating voltage supply from the sinusoidal form, which is greater the less the voltage present on the charging condenser lies above the maximum value of the half-wave voltage of the rectifier. As a result, the supply current at the beginning and at the end of each half-wave is somewhat lower, and in the middle range somewhat higher, than the value of the sinusoidal current. However, an extensive approximation can be achieved through variation of the control voltage on the control condenser C5 in dependence upon the magnitude of the half-wave voltage; for this purpose, a control transistor T5 is connected in parallel with the storage condenser C5, and the control gate of transistor T5 is connected through a Zener diode D3 to an RC network and also through a diode D15 to R6, R7 in parallel with the rectifier G. This circuitry is designed and selected such that the transistor T5 is controlled only in the middle range of each half-wave of the half-wave voltage of the rectifier G through the Zener diode D3, and thereby reduces the voltage on the control condenser C5. Consequently, in this middle range a delay period "a" results which increases with the instantaneous value of the half-wave voltage, thus providing a shorter current pulse S and thereby reduced energy absorbed by the charging inductor. With this arrangement, at the beginning and the end of each half-wave, the delay period can be selected to be smaller to thereby increase the current pulses which are taken up by the supply, without altering the desired mode of operation of the complete remagnetization of the charging inductor. This arrangement then results in a supply current which will have an approximately sinusoidal form. The delay period "a" is further influenced in dependence upon the cycle and the magnitude of the voltage on the charging condenser C; for this purpose the RC circuit at the control section of the control transistor T5 is connected through a diode D16 and a resistor R71 also to the charging condenser C. The condenser C4 of the RC circuit thereby serves for additional smoothing and such a phase displacement that the somewhat wavy (100 Hz) DC voltage extends therewith approximately synchronized to the supply alternating current voltage. Accordingly, when the voltage on the charge condenser C3 rises above a value determined through the voltage divider and the Zener diode D3, then the delay period is increased through T5 and thus the duration of the charge of the charging inductor is reduced in the middle region of each half-wave of the supply AC voltage, which results in an additional improvement in the sinusoidal shape of the supply current. By means of the described regulation, the voltage on the charge condenser also cannot exceed a predetermined limiting value when there is connected thereto no load or a load which is too low; for example, a lamp of too low a power output. The reversing converter, and thereby concurrently the charging regulator only begin to operate when the voltage on a starting or triggering condenser C8 has achieved such a value that its energy is connected through a trigger diode D13 to the control section of the primary transistor T1, whereby the latter is actuated. The starting condenser C8 is connected on one side through resistors R2, R4 and one electrode of lamp E to the charging condenser C, and is connected on the other side through a diode D10 in parallel to the switching section of the primary transistor T1. After the application of the supply Ac voltage to the rectifier, the charging condenser C charges through the charging inductor and the charging diode, and thus the starting condenser C8 will be charged until the primary transistor T1 is triggered (through D13). Concurrently therewith, the starting condenser is again discharged through D10 so that this starting circuit is no longer engaged during periodic oscillations of the alternating voltage converter. During operation of the inverter with a discharge lamp E, provision must be made for turning off of the inverter when the discharge lamp is continually unable to start, so that this results in repeated, unsuccessful attempts at starting. For this purpose a stop thyristor T4 is provided which has connected parallel therewith a switch-off winding L33 of the saturation transformer through diodes D11, D12, and is connected in parallel to the triggering condenser C8 through R2. Thyristor T4 receives its holding current through the electrode of the discharge lamp adjacent the charging condenser C and a resistor R4. An RC circuit R3, C9 is also connected in parallel to the switch-off winding L33 through diode D11, which is also coupled through a trigger diode D14 in parallel with the control section of the stop thyristor T4. The function and design of this circuit is based on the fact that the amplitude of the current flowing through the load branch with the discharge lamp, sensed by the switch-off winding L33, in the case of an unignited lamp (resonance drop), is substantially larger than that for an ignited lamp (attenuated resonant circuit). Subsequent to a given number of unsuccessful starting attempts determined by the circuit parameters, C9 will have been charged to such an extent that the stop thyristor will trigger through the trigger diode D14 and short circuit the switch-off winding L33. This arrangement eliminates the control voltages for the transistors of the inverter, and the operation of the inverter is interrupted. However, neither the normal ignition attempts nor the normal lamp current will lead to such a switching-off, since the voltage at C9 will not attain the value required for the activation of the trigger diode D14. Because of the synchronized control of the charging regulator in dependence upon the square-wave voltage at the switches of the alternating voltage converter, the charging regulator is again automatically switched off with the converter and again switched on after the start of the converter. The alternating voltage converter remains switched off until the holding current of the stop thyristor T4 is interrupted, and can thereby again proceed into the blocked condition. For this purpose, the supply alternating current voltage can, for example, be switched off. However, quite frequently the switching off is the result of a defective lamp, which can be replaced without switching off of the supply voltage. Since also the current circuit of the starting condenser C8 is conducted across an electrode of the lamp, the inverter will again automatically activate after the insertion of a new lamp. The herein described monitoring and the switching-off is advantageously applicable in the case of an alternating voltage converter and charging regulator, the control of which differs from that described in this application. Although various minor modifications might be proposed by those skilled in the art, it will be understood that we wish to include within the claims of the patent warranted hereon all such changes and modifications as reasonably come within our contribution to the art.

Journal Sentinel business reporter Tom Daykin talks about commercial real estate and development.
Airport area Wyndham hotel sold at sheriff's auction
The foreclosed Wyndham Milwaukee Airport Hotel, 4747 S. Howell Ave., has been sold at a sheriff's auction to its lender.
U.S. Bank, acting as a trustee for the hotel's lender, Wachovia Bank Commercial Mortgage Trust, bid a total of $5 million for the property at the Monday foreclosure sale, said David Gold, an attorney for the bank. The purchase price included $4 million for the real estate, and $1 million for the hotel's fixtures, equipment and other personal property.
Gold, of the Chicago office of Perkins Coie, declined to comment Tuesday on the new owner's plans for the 510-room hotel.
The Wyndham's owner, a California-based investors group, Shady Grove Associates LLC, was hit with a foreclosure suit in 2010. The bank later obtained a $13.3 million judgment against Shady Grove, leading to the sheriff's auction.
Some airport-area boosters had hoped to see the Wyndham sold to investors who would demolish or extensively renovate the large, sprawling hotel.
Sampson Investments built the hotel in 1960, later expanded it, and sold the property to Shady Grove in 1997 for $18 million. It was originally known as the Red Carpet Hotel, and later the Grand Milwaukee Hotel, before Shady Grove bought it.
That 1997 purchase price included the business and facility lease of what was then the adjacent 90,000-square-foot Grand Racquet and Fitness Club, 4801 S. 2nd St.
Shady Grove, a group led by San Francisco-based Fremont Properties Inc., remodeled the hotel and franchised it as a Sheraton Four Points before switching to the Radisson brand.

This is the last time Director Chase, who was played by Angela Basset throughout season 4, is directly mentioned in Alias. The last time she actually appeared on the show was season 4.
Sydney and Vaughn name their child
Isabelle Bristow Vaughn.
Goof: At the train tracks were Curtis shoots Vaughn, he fires a total of 3 bursts, yet only the first one makes holes in Vaughn's body.
On the whiteboard in Elena's lair is a list of other cities that she had targeted.
On this list (written in Cyrillic) are Moscow, Omsk, Zagreb, and Paris.
The liquid volume of the syringe changes between the shot where Elena fills the syringe and removes the air from it and the shot where she walks up to Nadia holding the syringe in her hand.
Carl Lumbly does not appear in this episode - making it the only season finale without Dixon.
For her performance in this episode Jennifer Garner received a 2005 Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series.
The names on the Blackwell Index have changed from when it was accessed in the last episode, the name Weiss and Marshall take from it this time was not actually on this list when Jack went into it during "The Descent".
Again, they use that mini torch and touch the metal immediately. Unless it was a special CIA cool torch someone should have been burned.
When Sark was brought in to APO, he had to wear a bag over his head, presumably to prevent him from discovering its location. Apparently no such precaution was required when bringing Irina to the top secret location, however.
Number 47: When Marshall examines the data from Lucien's PDA, there are two reference numbers with 47 one starts with 47 and one, as seen, is ref# 547-43-****
When Irina says "Jack, I understand why you believed you had to kill me, but the truth is, if the situation had been reversed, I would've found another way." It is a lot like when Sydney tells Vaughn if it had been him who had been killed or missing, she wouldn't have given up, she would have found another way.
In the embassy scene, Irina was wearing a wedding ring.
When Sloane and Sydney are standing in front of the TV looking at their own image from a camera nearby, Sydney raises the remote control to switch to another channel. However the Sydney in the picture does not move her hand.
Yanking the glass shard out of Sloane's chest the way Nadia did is an extraordinarily bad idea. The proper field procedure is to apply pressure to the wound around the glass shard. Nadia, as a field-trained agent, would have known this.
Number 47: US Army Corporal Ned Boilger's Serial Number reads 112762. 1+1+2 = 4 followed by 7. makes 47.
Number 47: The Vespertin Papers are submitted to the auction as lot 47.
In this episode we learn that Arvin Sloane and his former wife Emily has a baby, but it died during childbirth.
Goof: Considering that Nadia looks more like Irina than Sydney does, (as seen in photos in the episode "Ice,") wouldn't she have been a better choice to pose as "Laura" for Jack's "hallucination"?

Give it up. You will never, ever marry George Clooney. Nothing personal, mind you. The once-divorced George Clooney tells the new Playboy he probably won't marry anybody ever again.
"I think the reason to get married is if you're having kids," the 39-year-old bachelor says in the mag's July edition. "I don't have anything in me like most people have that says you have to reproduce. I will not half-ass it with children."
"If that means not having kids, then I will not have kids."
Got that? You will not have George Clooney's child, either.
So there.

Gael Clichy admits Liverpool striker Andy Carroll "scares me".
Manchester City star Clichy helped France beat Ukraine 2-0 before watching Carroll open the scoring in EnglandŌĆÖs 3-2 Euro win over Sweden.
Clichy, 26, said: ŌĆ£You canŌĆÖt deny Wayne RooneyŌĆÖs abilities, heŌĆÖs one of the best strikers in the world.
ŌĆ£But Carroll is a unique player ŌĆö he can cause a defence problems on his own with his heading game.
ŌĆ£He will tackle like a defender where a defender wouldnŌĆÖt even tackle, he will bang his head against the post if it means scoring a goal, and not every player can do that.
ŌĆ£So, yes, given that, he scares me. ItŌĆÖs like the English spirit ŌĆö a player like Carroll shows the qualities of England and thatŌĆÖs why we like English football, for the commitment, the desire. ThatŌĆÖs what he represents.
ŌĆ£Are England better with him up front? I donŌĆÖt know, weŌĆÖll only find out after the Euros. But we saw that England managed to impose themselves in attack, they conceded goals but they were very dominant in attack.ŌĆØ

As T.K. and Patamon play with the baby Digimon in Primary Village, Leomon arrives to attack them. The two go and hide but they run into Ogremon who has kidnapped a Poyomon. Leomon then catches up to them. As he is about to kill T.K., Matt, Garurumon, Tai and Greymon show up to save them. As the four champion level Digimon are fighting, more Black Gears embed themselves into Leomon who becomes huge and more evil and powerful. He easily defeats Garurumon and Greymon. Patamon's attacks do nothing against him. Just then, Izzy, Kabuterimon, Mimi and Togemon come. Izzy and Mimi inform the others that their Digivices have the power to destroy Black Gears. Tai and Matt shine them on Leomon who turns back to normal while Kabuterimon drives of Ogremon. Leomon tells the kids that legends say that a group of children called the DigiDestined will come to the Digital World and save it from darkness. He knows it is them because they can Digivolve their partners. Izzy predicts that after saving the Digital World they will be able to go home. The group then sets of to defeat Devimon. However, Devimon is not worried as he sends out more Black Gears. Sora, Birdramon, Joe and Ikkakumon see them on there way to Infinity Mountain.
Tai's group have reached the peak of the mountain when suddenly Devimon appears. Right after, Sora's group does too. The Digimon with the ability to all digivolve and the six of them along with Leomon begin to fight Devimon but they have no effect on the powerful Digimon. T.K. and Patamon stand by helplessly as Devimon is about to get them. The others try to save them but can't. As Devimon grabs the two, a light starts shining from his hand. Patamon has digivolved to Angemon!
Devimon is still not worried but Angemon says that he will destroy Devimon and bring peace. He gathers energy from all of the digivices which causes everyone to de-digivolve except for him who is now more powerful. He sends a strong blast right through the evil Digimon. Devimon is destroyed but he is telling Angemon that there will be more evil and he has used up all of his energy too. For that reason he is also dying. As T.K. cries, Angemon uses the last of his energy to tell him that he will come back. His feathers then come together to form a Digi-Egg which T.K. hugs and vows to take care of as the others assure him that it is Patamon.
The island then starts to reform as the darkness has been defeated. As the kids wonder why they are not going home, they realize there must be more evil they have to fight. Then a hologram of an old man appears he tells them he is pleased with them, leaving everyone wondering who he is.

The first step is done - a simple relational model of all tables (and hopefully their fields) in the given databases. The next step I haven't found done anywhere after some basic googling - a graphical display that shows (maybe with a pulse of color) access to a given table's fields in a given database as it happens, maybe drawing arrows to point out joins.
Obviously this is more about demonstration than analysis. But I think it could be a fun (and interesting, and just maybe a little useful) toy.
Is there such a thing out there? If not, does anyone want to collaborate on it with me?

- Director: Julius Onah
Set against the backdrop of heightened paranoia over national security in a post 9/11 America, "The Boundary" seeks to explore the human dynamic that is a part of the stories of Muslim and Arab American detainments at the U.S./Canada border.
Loosely based on numerous incidents of American citizens of Arab backgrounds and Muslim faith being detained at the U.S./Canda border, the film depicts the story of one family's encounter with the harsh realities faced by many Muslim Americans.
A story involving Muslim American identity, politics, issues of national security, and America's greatest responsibility to its citizens, "The Boundary" is also, at its heart, a film about family and what personal costs a father will go through to protect the innocence of his daughter.
