Minute's Silence At Anfield For Hillsborough 96
An emotional minute's silence has been held at Liverpool Football Club's Anfield ground in memory of the 96 fans who died in the Hillsborough disaster.
Fans fell silent at 1.36pm - six minutes after the usual 1.30pm start time, to mark the time when Liverpool's match with Nottingham Forest in 1989 was called off.
It was the latest in a weekend of fixtures which were all delayed in order to remember those who died as a result of a crush 25 years ago.
Just before the ground fell silent the huge crowd who had come to watch Liverpool take on Manchester City for Sunday afternoon's Premier League tie had been in full voice.
Thousands joined players and backroom staff to sing club anthem You'll Never Walk Alone while waving red flags and scarves in the air.
As they finished, a referee's whistle brought a hush to the ground, and many of the players and those in the crowd bowed their heads.
Among them were former manager Kenny Dalglish and striker Ian Rush, both of whom had been at the match in 1989 when the deaths occurred.
Mr Dalglish admitted after the disaster that he felt deeply affected by what had happened.
He said later: "Most of the church services finished with You'll Never Walk Alone. I couldn't sing through any of the songs or hymns. I was too choked up."
Fans in the Kop stand had been instructed to hold up coloured cards creating a mosaic that read "96 - 25 Years".
Many others in the crowd also waved banners and placard bearing slogans including "Justice For The 96".
Other events are due to take place in the coming few days, culminating in a religious service on Tuesday - the actual anniversary of the tragedy.
New inquests into the victims' deaths have recently begun after the original coroner's verdicts were quashed in 2012.

Thank you
One thing you might have a problem with is bookmarks (or favourites in IE parlance). When Fx is installed it takes a copy of you favourites, but it doesn't keep them in the same place. If you use both IE and Fx concurrently you'll find that your bookmakrs start to diverge. I've seen programs that'll provide a central store for both browsers, but I've not tried it and can't remember it's name. Anyone else?
Even if you found a way to delete IE, I wouldn't do it.
You would not be able to do Windows Updates via a browser, and some important sites require IE to function properly.

5 What Love Metal Really Is.xHIMxSweetheartx | 07/05/2008 | See all xHIMxSweetheartx's reviews (8)After a well deserved break, HIM come back with this beauty. The guitars on this album are rockier with the heaviest track being "Buried Alive By Love". Ville's voice stretches beyond his usual vocal ability making this album more interesting and unique than their previous ones. "The Sacrament" is a favourite with many of their loyal followers, with the video being directed by close friend, Bam Margera in Prague. This album does not disappoint any HIM fan and finally we really do know what Love Metal is.

Jags release OT Whimper, QB Wilson, DB King
FEB 27, 2013 7:12p ET
Whimper started 22 games over the last three seasons for the Jaguars, including 15 in 2011 and six last season. Most of his work came at right tackle, where he was supplanted in the lineup last season by Cam Bradfield last year.
Wilson spent most of last season on Jacksonville's practice squad. He was active for one game, Oct. 28 at Green Bay, but did not play. The former Alabama starter has not played in a regular-season game in his three seasons.
King spent the final seven weeks of last season on Jacksonville's practice squad.

The Table Tennis Federation of India (TTFI) is in the final stages of formulating a uniform coaching module in consonance with the firm Tenvic, owned by the former Indian cricket captain Anil Kumble. The TTFI, which recently signed a three-year deal with Tenvic, is looking to introduce a three-stage coaching module within a month or two.
"We have put together panels of experts sent by the International Table Tennis Federation and our own coaches and senior players to formulate the proper coaching module, which will be implemented all over the country," said TTFI general secretary Dhanraj Choudhary.
"The players were suffering for so long in the absence of modern coaching methods, which we hope to bring to all coaches across the country by introducing the three-stage module," he added.
The panels working to formulate the modules include Michael Anderson, Eric Lynd and Massimo Constantini from the ITTF, while Chetan Baboor, Bhawani Mukhejee and Achanta Sharath Kamal are deputed by the TTFI.
"It will be mandatory for every coach in the country to undergo different levels of courses under the module. The State associations will be asked to send at least three names for the initial training process," Mr. Choudhary said.
Mentoring programme
The tie-up with Tenvic also envisages a players' mentoring programme.
The programme has been prepared to help the senior and junior players in the national team gain a higher level of mental agility.
"Initially around 20 players will benefit from the mentoring programme, which will focus on areas like psychological development, perfecting one's behaviour and learning to interact with the media," the TTFI secretary said.

Holiday Heartache for Kendall on All My Children Jillian Bowe December 15, 2010 ABC, All My Children, News, Soap Opera, Soap Opera Spoilers 3 Comments TV Guide's Michael Logan gets the scoop from All My Children head writer David Kreizman on what's in store for the widowed Kendall Hart (Alicia Minshew). Kendall has this feeling that something big is going to happen on Christmas Eve and when Father Clarence shows up at her door she thinks he's going to tell her that Zach (Thorston Kaye) is somehow still alive, since they never found his body," says head writer Dave Kreizman. "Unfortunately, Clarence can't help Kendall with that, but he does lead her to the journal Zach had been writing — one that details his feelings for her."

Is ABC Daytime Copying Old Proctor & Gamble Soaps? J Bernard Jones August 25, 2010 All My Children, General Hospital, One Life to Live, Search For Tomorrow, The Edge of Night 17 Comments Watching the ABC daytime lineup lately has been a little déjà vu for this old time soap viewer. Perhaps "copying" is too strong a term. Maybe "homage" would be a better word or, perhaps, "sticky fingers." On the other hand, the stories in question here are different from either classic soap opera tropes (boy/girl-meets-hates-falls-in-love-with-girl/boy stuff) or classic soap cliches (supervillain-returns-from-the-dead-with-an-evil-twin shenanigans) because of their very specificity. All three of the ABC's daytime dramas currently are airing stories or arcs that have been a little too close to the mark of several cancelled Proctor & Gamble shows, begging the question "Does Brian Frons really admire those old, now defunct serials as much as he loves pilfering CBS soap stars?" Let us count the ways:
Kreizman and Swajeski's Writing Debuts May 12 on AMC Luke Kerr April 22, 2010 All My Children 11 Comments All My Children fans have been enjoying the past few months as interim head writer Lorraine Broderick provided a steady hand and worked to correct so many of the problems left by former head writer Chuck Pratt. The return of Julia Barr's Brooke English to help usher out David Canary's Adam Chandler, Cady McClain's return as ghost Dixie to keep JR (Jacob Young) from going to the Great Beyond, Erica (Susan Lucci) and Jackson's (Walt Willey) slow build, the wedding day revelation that Greenlee (Rebecca Budig) is alive, the relationship between David (Vincent Irizarry) and Greenlee, not to mention the H-O-T JR and Annie (Melissa Claire Egan) pairing and Palmer's (James Mitchell) memorial have all been fantastic. AMC has turned around so quickly it is now one of the first soaps I watch when I get home and go to clean up my DVR. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end.
AMC Names Kreizman and Swajeski Co-Head Writers Luke Kerr January 21, 2010 All My Children 33 Comments ABC is confirming Soap Opera Network's report that David Kreizman and Donna Swajeski have been named co-head writers at All My Children. Brian Frons told SOAPnet: "David and Donna are the perfect team to bring new ideas to All My Children while remaining true to its core by telling stories with a focus on the integrity of the show's history, its characters and families on the canvas,"

text: ABSTRACT: Signed comment of a speech given by Don DeLillo at the New York Public Library's "Stand In for Wei Jingsheng." Wei Jingsheng is an imprisoned dissident Chinese writer. … Last month, there was a man in a cage in SoHo–a performance artist, a Russian, impersonating a dog. He padded about on hands and knees, naked except for a thick collar, and he growled occasionally, took water from a bowl, and sniffed at his rubber lamb chop… The cage had a small, barred slot where visitors to the gallery could get down on all fours in order to talk to the dog… In Kafka's story "A Hunger Artist," a man lives in a small cage for 40 days and nights without eating. People pay admission to watch him starve, to gawk at his bony arms and bared arms. The man has a manager, and the manager placed a 40-day limit on the hunger artist's performance, not because the artist may die of starvation but because the manager has calculated that 40 days represents the far edge of the public's fickle interest. In China, somewhere, a writer lives in a small enclosure–a barred room, perhaps, or a dark hole with a slot for food. We can imagine that the writer has made and shaped his own fate. He has a name, Wei Jingsheng, and a history outside the charges and documents assembled by the state, and maybe he has an art outside the strict limits of the written word. In this sense, his high blood pressure and arthritis and depression, his dizzy spells and rotting gums may be seen as strong-willed symptoms of the artist's enduring effort to realize his role–a writer in opposition to the state. In a culture, ours, that tries to absorb and neutralize every threat to consumer consciousness, the spectacle of a man living as a dog has a kind of shifting eloquence. It offers a genuine sense of the latitude of free expression and places a small, incisive shock in the midst of all those SoHo apparel shops and restaurants. But it also suggests the grim idea that the performance artist, liberated from Soviet state control, may be carrying his own culture's atavistic wish for order and repression. The Chinese writer's art is to be still… The writer's classic condition, to be alone in a room, has been cruelly extended here. Wei is a still figure, working out his fate in a confined space, refusing to eat at times, living for long periods on a teaspoon of sugar a day… The total state wants to drain all conviction from the writer. It wants to absorb the dissident writer. In the West, every writer is absorbed, turned into breakfast food or canned laughter. But the more nearly total the state, the more vivid the dissident artist. The artist is so vivid and singular, so unassimilated into the state machine, that the state must find a way to make him disappear. In fact, the hunger artist in Kafka believes he can fast for more than 40 days. It is the tragedy of his life that he isn't allowed to stay hungry… The Chinese writer is treated by police doctors. His cell is so cold that frost forms on the door. He suffers chest pains and can't sleep. The doctors address his symptoms in a traditional manner, by deciding they are faked. The writer stops eating again. A hunger strike is a free act, and Wei starves himself to protest local conditions, and to grow ever more still as well… When the hunger artist dies, they decide to put an animal in his cage… [The animal receives] a far greater audience than the hunger artist could ever command. The deeper they conceal him–the more remote the cell, the smaller the cell, the colder and stonier the walls of the cell–the more vivid and living is the writer.

Instant City: Life and Death in Karachi
NPR host Steve Inskeep writes about Karachi – a sprawling, striving, fractured city on the rise.
One of the finest passages in Steve Inskeep's informative, ambitious, chaotic, and sometimes glorious Instant City, which relates the epic story of Karachi, is a bravura evocation of the momentousness of Pakistan's birth. "Cataclysmic events seemed to tilt the surface of the earth," writes Inskeep, "raising the angle until human beings tumbled downhill into the city at the bottom of the slope. The partition of India was the greatest convulsion of all, tilting the ground on which millions of Indians stood. And Muslims began tumbling downward into Karachi's reluctant embrace."
That was in 1947. Overnight, Karachi's population of approximately 400,000 doubled – hence the title of Inskeep's book: "Instant City."
But Inskeep, a co-host of National Public Radio's Morning Edition who has reported extensively from Pakistan, explains that there are other factors behind Karachi's rapid rise. (Today its population is estimated at over 13 million). An instant city, which the author defines as "a metropolitan area that's grown since 1945 at a substantially higher rate than the population of the country to which it belongs," also boasts a high birth rate and extensive sprawl. Moreover, its supply of (usually rural) migrants is continuous. Karachi, which served as Pakistan's capital until Islamabad was constructed for that purpose in the 1960s, fits the bill in every way.

Cirrus Logic Sound Fusion CS4280, CS461x, CS462x, CS463x devices
This page describes how to enable support for sound devices based on CS46xx chipsets on Debian systems.
snd-cs46xx is a Linux kernel module supporting Cirrus Logic's Sound Fusion CS46xx audio controllers. It is an ALSA driver included in the Linux kernel.
At linux-2.6 2.6.23-1, the binary-only firmware in this driver was removed (see the package changelog), due to discovered firmware licensing issues. The driver was disabled at this time. Firmware was also removed from the alsa-source package to resolve bug 483918.
At linux-2.6 2.6.31-1~experimental.1, the snd-cs46xx driver was re-enabled and patched to use firmware from userspace (resolving Debian bug 464197).
Device firmware is unable to be distributed by the Debian project, as the snd-cs46xx driver has no license.1 A free redistribution license has been requested from Cirrus Logic.2
You are required to supply one firmware file for device use.
Install the alsa-base, alsa-utils and build-essential packages:
$ su # aptitude update && aptitude install alsa-base alsa-utils build-essential # exit
Download cs46xx_image.h from Linus' kernel tree:
$ wget https://raw.github.com/torvalds/linux/master/sound/pci/cs46xx/cs46xx_image.h
Download source code for a program to write out firmware from cs46xx_image.h:
$ wget 'http://wiki.debian.org/snd-cs46xx?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=write_images.c' -O write_images.c
Download a patch against cs46xx_image.h:
$ wget 'http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=181;att=0;bug=464197' -O cs46xx_image.diff
Apply the patch:
$ patch -i cs46xx_image.diff
Compile the write_images program:
$ gcc -o write_images write_images.c
Execute the program to write out firmware:
$ ./write_images
Install the firmware:
$ su # mkdir /lib/firmware/cs46xx # cp cs46xx/cs46xx-old.fw /lib/firmware/cs46xx
Reload the snd-cs46xx module:
# modprobe -r snd-cs46xx ; modprobe snd-cs46xx
If not already performed, add your user account to the audio group, then log out and log back into your system:
# adduser yourusername audio # exit $ exit
Run alsamixer(1) to unmute channels and raise the volume levels.
Test the sound device, for example:
$ aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav $ speaker-test -t sine -f 440 -c 2 $ speaker-test -t wav -c 2
Examine the kernel ring buffer (dmesg(1)) to verify firmware is being loaded.
If output similar to the following is shown:
[16576.681738] Sound Fusion CS46xx 0000:00:06.0: found PCI INT A -> IRQ 11 [16576.681774] Sound Fusion CS46xx 0000:00:06.0: sharing IRQ 11 with 0000:00:02.0 [16576.681827] Sound Fusion CS46xx 0000:00:06.0: sharing IRQ 11 with 0000:01:00.0 [16577.224760] Sound Fusion CS46xx 0000:00:06.0: firmware: requesting cs46xx/cs46xx-old.fw [16577.403887] cs46xx: firmware hunk out of range [16577.406087] image download error [16577.412213] Sound Fusion CS46xx: probe of 0000:00:06.0 failed with error
The firmware is not in the correct format.
Ensure the patch for cs46xx_image.h is applied prior to compiling write_images.c.
Ensure write_images is executed on a system where unsigned long is little-endian 32-bit.
Supported Devices
The page HowToIdentifyADevice/PCI explains how to identify a PCI device.
The following list is based on the alias fields of modinfo snd-cs46xx in Debian 3.2.0 (3.2.51-1) kernel images.

Law of Bangladesh
This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. (August 2008) |
This article needs additional citations for verification. (February 2011) |
The Law of Bangladesh is primarily in accordance with the English legal system although since 1947, the legal scenario and the laws of Bangladesh have drifted far from the West owing to differences in socio-cultural values and religious guidelines. In November 2007, Bangladesh has successfully separated the Judiciary from the Executive but several black laws still influence the rulers in creating Special Tribunals in using several black laws[clarification needed] including the Special Powers Act.
Fundamental Rights In Bangladesh[edit]
Bangladeshi people have 23 fundamental rights under the Constitution of Bangladesh, Part 3, Articles 26 to 47A. The Fundamental Rights in Bangladesh under below:[1]
- Laws inconsistent with fundamental rights to be void (Article-26)
- Equality before law (Article-27)
- Discrimination on grounds of religion, etc. (Article-28)
- Equality of opportunity in public employment (Article-29)
- Prohibition of foreign titles, etc. (Article-30)
- Right to protection of law (Article-31)
- Protection of right to life and personal liberty (Article-32)
- Safeguards as to arrest and detention (Article-33)
- Prohibition of forced labour (Article-34)
- Protection in respect of trial and punishment (Article-35)
- Freedom of movement (Article-36)
- Freedom of assembly (Article-37)
- Freedom of association (Article-38)
- Freedom of thought and conscience, and of speech (Article-39)
- Freedom of profession or occupation (Article-40)
- Freedom of religion (Article-41)
- Rights of property (Article-42)
- Protection of home and correspondence (Article-43)
- Enforcement of fundamental rights (Article-44)
- Modification of rights in respect of disciplinary law (Article-45)
- Power to provide indemnity (Article-46)
- Saving for certain laws (Article-47)
- Inapplicability of certain articles (Article-47A)
The Judiciary of Bangladesh[edit]
The Judiciary of Bangladesh consists of a Supreme Court, subordinate courts and tribunals.
The Supreme Court[edit]
The Supreme Court of Bangladesh is the highest court of law in Bangladesh. It comprises the Appellate Division and the High Court Division. It was created by Part VI, Chapter I of the Constitution of Bangladesh. It is the apex Court of the country and other Courts and Tribunals are subordinate to it. This is also the office of the Chief Justice, Appellate Division Justices, and High Court Division Justices of Bangladesh.
Jurisdiction of the Appellate Division[edit]
Appellate Jurisdiction:The Appellate Division has jurisdiction to hear appeals from the High Court Division in the following grounds:-
- One can appeal against the division of High Court when-
i. The issue relates to interpretation of Constitution of Bangladesh,
ii. Contempt of that Division, and
iii. Death or life imprisonment confirmed or declared by the Division.
- An appeal to the Appellate Division from a judgment, decree or sentence of the High Court Division in a case to which clause 2 (102) does not apply shall lie only if the Appellate Division grants leave to appeal.
Rule-making Jurisdiction: The Supreme Court is independent of the executive branch, and is able to rule against the government in politically controversial cases.
Advisory Jurisdiction: In the question of any law or anything required for public interest, the President may ask for opinion from the Appellate Division.
Jurisdiction to ensure justice: Article 104 deals with issue and execution of processes of Appellate Division. It provides the power to the Appellate Division to issue anything required for the Complete justice.
Other Jurisdictions: The Appellate Division shall have others jurisdiction by Act of Parliament.
Chancery Research and Consultants Trust (CRC-Trust) maintains a website Chancery Law Chronicles-First ever Online Database of Bangladesh Laws (www.clcbd.org) where it has already included 7000 judgements of the Appellate Division and High Court Division of the Supreme Court of Bangladesh from 1972 to till date.
The High Court Division[edit]
Clause 3 of Article 95 provides to the High Court Division which at any time before the commencement of our Constitution exercised jurisdiction as a High Court in the Territory of Bangladesh. The High Court Division shall have Superintendence and control over all Courts and tribunals subordinate to it. The High Court Division, though a Division of the Supreme Court, is for all practical purposes, an independent court with its powers, functions and jurisdictions well defined and determined under the Constitution and different laws. Jurisdiction of the High Court Division: It has both appellate as well as original jurisdiction.
•Original Jurisdiction: The power to file any case is called the original jurisdiction. It has original jurisdiction to hear Writ Applications under article 102 of the Constitution, which is known as extra ordinary constitutional jurisdiction. It has further original jurisdiction, inter alia, in respect of company and admiralty matters under statutes. The High Court Division, in special circumstances, has also powers and jurisdiction to hear and dispose of cases as the court of first instance under article 101 of the Constitution.
•Appellate Jurisdiction: The High Court Division hears appeals from orders, decrees and judgments of subordinate courts and tribunals. One can appeal to the High Court Division if-
i. more than 14 years imprisonment by Session Judge, or
ii. Related to the question of interpretation of the Constitution.
The Subordinate Courts and Tribunals[edit]
There are a wide variety of subordinate courts and tribunals. Such courts and tribunals are created by some relevant statutes. All their powers, functions and jurisdictions are well determined by the respective statutes. These are the basic courts in the system of the judiciary of Bangladesh. The major bulk of the cases, both civil and criminal, are tried and heard in such courts and tribunals. Certain tribunals are termed as administrative tribunals, Nari-o-Shishu Nirjaton Daman Tribunals, Special Tribunals etc. Such courts and tribunals spread all over the country at district levels. The subordinate courts in Bangladesh can be divided in two broad classes, namely, civil courts and criminal courts.
Civil Courts[edit]
The civil courts are created under the Civil Courts Act of 1887. The Act provides for five tiers of civil courts in a district, which bottom-up are:
- Court of Assistant Judge,≤
- Court of Senior Assistant Judge,≤
- Court of Joint District Judge,≤
- Court of Additional District Judge and ≤
- Court of District Judge
The first three are courts of first instances with powers, functions and jurisdictions in respect of subject matter, territory and pecuniary value determined by or under statutes.
The rest two are generally courts of appeal in civil matters. now the civil suits are rapidly disclose in the court:
Criminal Courts[edit]
- Courts of Sessions
- Courts of Metropolitan Sessions
- Special courts/tribunals (Criminal)
- Courts of Metropolitan Magistrate
- Courts of Magistrate
Legal profession[edit]
The academic systems of the country allow two separate systems of qualifying legal degrees in Bangladesh which are college-oriented two-year LL.B. degrees and the University-based four-year LL.B. (Hons.) degrees which require more extensive academic commitment and the places at the universities remain competitive. Recently there has been a rise in the trend of obtaining foreign academic LL.B. degrees (especially from the UK).

Positivity Again: The Google Map Girl
Wednesday, January 21st, 2015I travel a lot. Way more than I want to. My trips are all about meetings with buyers from different stores or conferences or meetings with people to help grow Good Clean Love. Ostensibly, I want to do all those things, but the going and coming is exhausting and un-nerving. After multiple boardings and de-boardings I usually find myself in a rental car driving through cities I have never been to, and even sometimes across state lines I have never crossed. I can't say how happy I am on these days to have the company of the Google Maps girl. As far as I am concerned this is the biggest triumph of the digital age.

In tonight's Connect with Kids Report, we revisit a story we brought you back in April. Every year, middle school students are expected to pass their end of grade exams. In the past, D.C. Virgo students came up short. Administrators were determined to change that.
For the past six years, D.C. Virgo Middle School has come up short of state expectations in their test scores.
To gear up for the test last year, students faced five weeks of smaller classes to focus entirely on test taking. It was sort of a boot camp for their end of grade exams. But, for that to happen, traditional electives like band, chorus, and physical education had to take a back seat.
Back in April, some parents were not happy.
Back in April, parent Teresa Little-Soles said, "How come this wasn't done from the beginning of the year? School is 180 days and they are telling us it's only 25 days that they are doing this. How can 25 days make or break the situation now if this has been going on for several years at Virgo?"
The boot camp style of teaching was also met with some resistance from teachers.
School officials say five weeks of intense preparation did pay off.
Virgo increased its adequate progress level from 71 percent to 94 percent, meeting federal standards.
At the state level, Virgo met high growth with a 14 point increase in its math proficiency level.
D.C. Virgo principal Megan Silvey said, "We said, 'no more excuses, we've got to come up with a plan and we have got to go for it.' We stepped out on a limb, we took a risk and it paid off."
Since the boot camp turned out to be a success, school officials say their students can be proud of their efforts.
"We were successful in so many ways than you can just measure by an end of grade test. Our students are coming up to us this year and asking us if we are doing the boot camp again this year," said Silvey.
The answer is yes.
Principal Silvey said as long as it helps students perform when it counts, they will keep heading back to boot camp.
Planning and preparations are already under way for this year's exam.

I'm not quite sure why the French have such a 'tude when it comes to Americans. Okay, we should take the blame for McDonald's, Wal-Mart and Starbucks. But when you consider that we pretty much saved their bacon twice in the last century, you'd think they might cut us some slack. Then again, when you have ugly Americans such as a geeky Graham Granville (Paul Rudd) and his adopted brother Rex (Romany Malco) representing our country, maybe the French have a point.
The brothers Granville have inherited a French chateau from a great uncle they never met. When they arrive there in the middle of the night to lay claim to their inheritance, they're met with a frosty reception from their suspicious new employees, the chateau's staff. First of all, there's their appearance. Graham, a bespectacled shorts-wearing white geek, and Rex, a gold chain-festooned towering hunk of a very black man are certainly not the typical brothers. Throw in Graham's mangling of the language — Frenglish? — with Rex's quickly growing arrogance, and relations start out sour. They head south from there when the brothers, upon realizing the dilapidated state of both the mansion and its finances, decide they must sell the place, which would place the staff out of work and out of their own quarters.
It's not long before Graham and Rex are at each other's throats, either, first over how best to deal with their albatross of an estate and second, over a growing rivalry to win the affections of the pretty but aloof maid Isabelle (Sylvie Testud).
"The Chateau" is an unlikely but winning farce from director Jesse Peretz. Once the viewer accepts the huge leaps of faith required in the film's premise, it's a lot of fun to strap oneself in and enjoy this goofy ride. Yet, Peretz also allows a subtle air of mystery and foreboding to drift over the film like an ancient fog. Part of this comes from the ultra-grainy look of the film's DV to 35mm blow-up; the rare time where this actually works to a film's advantage. This chateau, hundreds of years old, has many stories to tell, this film seems to say. We're simply witnessing the latest with the odd goings inside "The Chateau."

The nonstructural 5A (NS5A) protein of hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a phosphoprotein possessing various functions. We have previously reported that the HCV NS5A protein interacts with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor-associated factor (TRAF) domain of TRAF2 (Park, K.-J., Choi, S.-H., Lee, S. Y., Hwang, S. B., and Lai, M. M. C. (2002) J. Biol. Chem. 277, 13122-13128). Both TNF-alpha- and TRAF2-mediated nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) activations were inhibited by NS5A-TRAF2 interaction. Because TRAF2 is required for the activation of both NF-kappaB and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), we investigated HCV NS5A protein for its potential capacity to modulate TRAF2-mediated JNK activity. Using in vitro kinase assay, we have found that NS5A protein synergistically activated both TNF-alpha- and TRAF2-mediated JNK in human embryonic kidney 293T cells. Furthermore, synergism of NS5A-mediated JNK activation was inhibited by dominant-negative form of MEK kinase 1. Our in vivo binding data show that NS5A does not inhibit interaction between TNF receptor-associated death domain and TRAF2 protein, indicating that NS5A and TRAF2 may form a ternary complex with TNF receptor-associated death domain. These results indicate that HCV NS5A protein modulates TNF signaling of the host cells and may play a role in HCV pathogenesis.

Silently check for new notifications on iPhone or iPad with 'Discreet' tweak [Tip, Jailbreak]
Posted By Alihassan Mahdi On February 25, 2014 @ 11:44 PM In iOS | No Comments
Sometimes when you're device is placed in your pocket and is on silent, you don't feel the vibration when you receive a notification alert. Or in some other event such as a meeting, even if your device is on general, it's inappropriate to take it out of your pocket just to check out if your girlfriend replied back to you. However, a new jailbreak tweak released recently in Cydia allows you to find out if you received a notification without anyone understanding.
Called 'Discreet', the jailbreak tweak allows you to set an activator action such that you can check whether you received a notification using that action. Once you download the tweak via Cydia, you'll have to assign an activator action for it to work. Invoking the activator action will cause the device to vibrate if you have a pending notification, and if you don't have any pending notification, there won't be any vibration.
The tweak best works when the activator action is set to 'double tap home button' and this is what the purpose of the tweak is, to check if you have a pending notification without unlocking your device or even taking out of your pocket. With the 'double tap home button' action, it means that whenever you double press the home button, you'll be able to find out if there's a pending notification and this comes quite handy in situations when your device is placed in your pocket.
Upon installing the tweak, no configuration is required. All you have to do is to open activator via settings and choose the best activator action which you want to use to enable this tweak. If you don;t have activator installed, it will be installed automatically along with 'Discreet' jailbreak tweak. If you're interested in this tweak, you can get it for free in Cydia via BigBoss repository.

Posted in Peaceville
Having just completed their comeback appearance at the Maryland Death Fest, since originally laying the band to rest over 15 years ago, it is time for Autopsy to embark upon a fresh spree of brutality.
A new EP, entitled 'The Tomb Within', with artwork from renowned horror/fantasy artist Matt Cavotta, will be released on Peaceville Records in August 2010. Furthermore, a new studio album (the band's fifth) will be released early 2011, to be called 'Macabre Eternal'.
It can also be announced that Autopsy will be infesting European shores in August with 2 very special & exclusive headlining shows, at Party.San Open Air festival & Norway's Hole in the Sky festival.
"As many of you know, for years it has been repeatedly stated that Autopsy was over with and done for good. While that was indeed true for a long span of time, it is no longer the case. Autopsy has come to the solid realization that the time is now right to resume their mission of gore soaked death metal brutality and to fulfill this mission with maximum intensity. Make no mistake about it, Autopsy is not about reliving the past, basking in nostalgia or riding on efforts from years long gone. The band is hungry to devour fresh minds and souls and has been amassing an arsenal of new and deathly material to unleash upon those who also hunger for such brutality.
The surgical instruments are being sharpened and a pure death metal assault of the most horrific order is underway as you read these very words.
On behalf of the band, thanks goes out to all who relented and simply would not allow this beast to remain in the grave. Your persistence will be met with unspeakable and unapologetic sonic atrocities. Let the blood flow...."
The band also offered the following update regarding the long-running act Abscess, featuring Autopsy members, having recently released their latest & greatest work, Dawn of Inhumanity.
"Greetings, sickos. We need to inform you that Abscess has officially broken up. The reason for this is that Clint Bower has left the band for personal reasons and out of respect to him and to all who have supported us for these 16 years, we have decided to call it a day. Without Clint Bower, there can be no Abscess so we won't even try to cheat anyone with something that is not the real thing. "Dawn of Inhumanity" has become our final statement and we feel that it is the perfect way to close the Abscess chapter since we must do so. Thanks to all of you who were and still are proud to call yourselves Abscess Freaks!
With the line up of Eric Cutler and Danny Coralles on guitars, Chris Reifert on drums/vocals and Joe Trevisano (formerly Allen) on bass, Autopsy is now the full time focus. Longtime friend and bass destroyer Dan Lilker has performed with Autopsy at Maryland Death Fest VIII and will also do so at the upcoming Party San and Hole in the Sky festivals in August of this year before Joe Trevisano takes over full time on bass. A new Autopsy E.P. and full length album are in the works and will be released on Peaceville Records, along with an upcoming documentary DVD.
Again, thanks to all. All we can do is offer more brutality....."

text: It's not even financials season yet, but Nintendo is trying to lower expectations in advance. In a statement on Friday, it's announced that it's reassessed unit sales for its flagship Wii U console, hacking it down from 9 million for April 2013 - March 2014 to just 2.8 million -- less than a third of the original estimate. It's also less than the number of Wii Us that Nintendo sold in its launch year. That was 3.45 million, if you're counting. The revised predictions are due to disappointing hardware sales during the holiday season and that's having an understandable knock-on effect on software sales too. Nintendo now predicts that instead of selling 3.8 million titles, the numbers will be around half of that: 1.9 million, which is at least an uptick from 2013. Alas, it's still an across-the-board bad news sort of announcement, however, with forecast console sales for the original Wii and the 3DS also bumped down in the process. Read the full story at Engadget.

Deep in the tropical rain forests of Belize, a large snake crossed the road ahead of us. "Fer-de lance," said Barry Bowen, the owner of the land we were touring, as we pulled over for a closer look. Using a dead limb he'd cut with his machete, he dragged the reptile toward us. I marveled at the strange appearance of the snake, which looked to me almost like it had been crimped, and gazed into its deep-set-eyes. Then Bowen casually mentioned that the fer-de-lance is one of the deadliest snakes in the world.
I jumped back, alarmed, expecting him to kill it. Instead we took pictures and watched it slither off the road and disappear into the tall grass, an eye-opening welcome to the world of Belizean eco-tourism. Before concluding my visit, I would not only encounter more fer-de-lances but also see rare Morelet's crocodiles at their nesting sites, identify well over a hundred bird species, and happily trudge countless miles in search of wild tapirs and jaguars that clearly did not wish to be seen.
Some of the most pristine lands and waters of this hemisphere lie in Belize, which was named British Honduras until it attained independence in 1981. Most tourists know the English-speaking Central American country for the quiet waters that lie behind its 180-mile barrier reef, filled with coral and tropical fish in all the colors of the rainbow and offering spectacular snorkeling, scuba diving, and fishing.
In recent years, however, visitors have also begun to explore the natural wonders of Belize's forests and mountains, where several new guest lodges play host to waves of tourists seeking a wilderness experience that is becoming increasingly rare. My particular favorite inland destination is Chan Chich Lodge, an outpost carefully crafted of local hardwoods and situated in the plaza of an ancient Mayan city amid hundreds of thousands of acres of magnificent unspoiled jungle.
The driving force behind Chan Chich is Barry Bowen, a seventh-generation Belizean who carved his mini-kingdom from 700,000 acres of land that he bought from a British company in 1983. He sold most of the land to private concerns, donated and sold a total of 110,000 acres to the Massachusetts Audubon Society for a nature preserve, and kept 130,000 for Chan Chich.
Walking down Chan Chich's trails under the watchful and well-informed eye of Gilberto Vasquez, a farmer and hunter turned guide, I spotted huge flowering bromeliads and the long plumes of black orchids growing sixty feet above us in a hog plum tree, and I felt the soft cottonlike kapok of the giant ceiba, a sacred Mayan tree harvested in modern times for making flotation gear and pillows. We sampled the nuts of the cohune palm, which taste somewhat like dried coconut and can be chewed as a source of clean water; the Maya also press them for cooking oil.
Most impressive of all the trees we saw on Gilberto's tour was the giant strangler fig, which starts life in the branches of another tree. The seeds, left by bats, sprout and send out long, tendrillike roots that can grow as high as fifty feet into the jungle's canopy and also extend another fifty feet to the ground. Once they tap into groundwater, the airborne roots grow to surround the original tree and eventually choke off its light and life. By the time the host tree dies, the strangler is a self-supporting, free-standing giant of the jungle.
Dining above us in a single fig tree was the avian variety to make a dedicated birder swoon: a red-and-green slaty-tailed trogon, a black-faced grosbeak, a pair of little yellow-throated euphonias, several tiny red-capped manakins, and that breathtaking breakfast-cereal salesbird, the keel-billed toucan. Not only could Gilberto identify these birds in three languages (English, Spanish, and Mayan, all of which he speaks fluently), he could call many of them to us with sharp or subtle whistles that I often found indistinguishable from the actual call of the bird.
Named wilderness retreat of the year in 1992 by Andrew Harper's Hideaway Report, Chan Chich Lodge is operated by Tom and Josie Harding, an American couple with seemingly limitless energy and imagination. Tom supervised the environmentally conscious construction of the cabanas and the main building of the lodge, built with sixteen varieties of hardwood that had been cut and milled on the property. The soaring thatched roof of the main building alone contains more than 30,000 palm fronds, all cut from bay leaf palms during a full moon (rising sap makes the fronds last a long time). Archaeologists are divided about the wisdom of building in a Mayan plaza, but it takes only one look at the old looters' trenches dug into some of the thousand-year-old pyramids to realize that the very presence of the lodge serves a purpose in preserving these antiquities.
"Chan Chich" means "little bird" in Mayan, and indeed the place is a birder's paradise, with three hundred known bird species in the area. Rarely seen ocellated turkeys wander among the cabanas, the males fanning their tails and announcing their presence with deep drumming calls. From the trees overhead hang the long, swaying nests of the Montezuma oropendolas, large birds with brilliant yellow-and-black tails and the peculiar habit of swinging forward over a branch like gymnasts and emitting their strange gurgling calls while hanging upside down. Flocks of white-crowned and red-lored parrots fly noisily from tree to tree, and, closer to the ground, hummingbirds zip around like mosquitoes.
Much of this spectacular natural bounty of flourishes simply because Belize has a wonderfully low population—about 200,000 inhabitants in a country slightly larger than Massachusetts—and extensive areas of mostly virgin forest. The land around Chan Chich was long selectively logged for prime-grade mahogany—much of it used to build the classic Chippendale furniture of the nineteenth century—but it had not been subjected to clear-cutting or slash-and-burn agriculture. Other than being overhunted for game, the ecosystem was virtually intact when Bowen bought his land.
Because of Bowen's strict no-hunting policy, the diverse animal population at Chan Chich—from pacas (rabbit-size
