London Film Fest opens with Law, Weisz in '360'
LONDON (AP) — A Brazilian director, an international cast and three made-in-Britain Hollywood stars — the London Film Festival opened Wednesday with "360," a tale of intertwined romances on several continents.
It was a fittingly globe-circling beginning to a cinema showcase that includes more than 300 features and shorts from 55 countries.
"It is very international, an therefore it feels entirely apt," said festival artistic director Sandra Hebron.
A bearded Jude Law, who appears along with Anthony Hopkins and Rachel Weisz, posed for fans on the red carpet before the premiere of the film, directed by Fernando Meirelles and based on Arthur Schnitzler's century-old play "La Ronde."
Law praised Meirelles, known for his direction on "City of God," ''who has woven this wonderful international ensemble together."
The two-week festival in London promises something for cinephiles and celebrity-watchers alike — including two star turns from George Clooney. He directed and stars in political thriller "The Ides of March" and plays a detached father thrust into a caring role in Alexander Payne's "The Descendants."
Stars expected on the red carpet range from funnyman Seth Rogen to dramatic powerhouse Michael Fassbender — playing both a sex addict in Steve McQueen's "Shame" and Carl Jung in David Cronenberg's psychoanalytic drama "A Dangerous Method."
Films with literary roots include Ralph Fiennes' directorial debut, "Coriolanus," Andrew Arnold's brooding "Wuthering Heights" and "Trishna," and Michael Winterbottom's India-set take on Thomas Hardy's "Tess of the D'Urbervilles," starring Freida Pinto.
Founded in 1957 to show the best of the year's world cinema to a British audience, the festival has in the past few years tried to carve out a place on the international festival calendar with bigger pictures and more glittering stars.
While most of the films have already made their debuts at Sundance, Cannes, Toronto or Venice, there are 13 world premieres in the lineup, most of them new British features.
Highlights include "The Kid With a Bike," a drama from Belgium's Dardenne brothers; Nanni Moretti's Vatican satire "We Have a Pope"; Sundance hit "Martha Marcy May Marlene," starring Elizabeth Olsen as a traumatized cult runaway; and French director Michael Hazanavicius' delightful silent-film homage "The Artist."
Controversy may be provided by "W.E." — Madonna's take on the romance between King Edward VIII and American divorcee Wallis Simpson, critically derided at its Venice debut — and Roland Emmerich's Shakespeare-bashing "Anonymous," which stars Rhys Ifans as the putative true author of the Bard's plays.
On Oct. 26, the festival will hand out a best-picture prize, from a shortlist that includes "The Artist, "The Descendants," Aleksandr Sokurov's Venice Film festival winner "Faust" and Lynne Ramsay's high school massacre drama "We Need to Talk About Kevin."
The festival closes Oct. 27 with "Deep Blue Sea," which stars Rachel Weisz, Tom Hiddleston and Simon Russell Beale — stiff upper lips a-quiver — in Terence Davies' adaptation of Terrence Rattigan's play about a postwar love triangle.

Henry Percy, 2nd Earl of Northumberland (3 February 1393[a] – 22 May 1455) was an English nobleman and military commander in the lead up to the Wars of the Roses. He was the son of Henry "Hotspur" Percy, and the grandson of Henry Percy, 1st Earl of Northumberland. His father and grandfather were killed in different rebellions against Henry IV in 1403 and 1408 respectively, and the young Henry spent his minority in exile in Scotland. Only after the death of Henry IV in 1413 was he reconciled with the Crown, and in 1416 he was created Earl of Northumberland.
In the following years, Northumberland occasionally served with the king in France, but his main occupation was the protection of the border to Scotland. At the same time, a feud with the Neville family was developing, particularly with Richard Neville, Earl of Salisbury. This feud became entangled with the conflict between the Duke of York and the Duke of Somerset over control of national government. The conflict culminated in the first battle of the Wars of the Roses, at St Albans, where both Somerset and Northumberland were killed.
Henry Percy was the son of another Henry Percy, known as "Hotspur", and Elizabeth Mortimer. Elizabeth was the daughter of Edmund Mortimer, Earl of March and Philippa, granddaughter of Edward III. Hotspur's father – the young Henry's grandfather – was also called Henry Percy, and in 1377 became the first of the Percy family to hold the title of Earl of Northumberland.[2] Both Hotspur and his father were early and active supporters of Henry Bolingbroke, who usurped the throne from Richard II in 1399, and became King Henry IV. They were initially richly rewarded, but soon grew disillusioned with the new regime. Hotspur rose up in rebellion, and was killed at Shrewsbury on 21 July 1403.[3]
Earl Henry was not present at the battle, but there is little doubt that he participated in the rebellion.[4] After a short imprisonment, he was pardoned, and in June 1404 he delivered his grandson into the king's custody at Doncaster.[5] By May 1405, however, the earl was involved in another rebellion. His plans failed, and he was forced to flee to Scotland, taking his grandson with him.[6] The following years were marked by an itinerant life and further plotting, while the young Henry remained in the custody of the Duke of Albany.[4] On 19 February 1408, the first earl of Northumberland was killed in the Battle of Bramham Moor, leaving the young Henry Percy as heir apparent to the earldom.[7] Henry remained in Scotland until the accession of Henry V in 1413, when he tried to claim his grandfather's title. His cause was aided by the king's aunt, Joan Beaufort, Countess of Westmorland, who arranged his marriage to her daughter Eleanor.[8] It was in Henry V's interest to reconcile with the Percys, with their vast network in the north of England; in 1416 Henry Percy was created Earl of Northumberland.[b]
Service to the king[edit]
Northumberland served occasionally in Henry V's wars in France over the following years. He joined the king on an expedition to the Continent in 1416, and sent a minor contingent of soldiers the next year.[5] His main task, however, was the defence of the Scottish Borders, and on 16 December 1416 he was appointed Warden of the East March.[9] In late August 1417, the Scots invaded northern England; while Albany laid siege to Berwick Castle, the Earl of Douglas attempted to take Roxburgh Castle. Percy lifted the siege of Berwick, and forced both Albany and Douglas across the border.[9] At the same time, he was also involved in national political affairs, and acted as steward at the coronation of Henry's queen Catherine on 24 February 1421.[5]
When Henry V died in 1422, Northumberland was appointed member of the council appointed to govern during the minority of Henry VI. He might have been involved in an embassy to the Council of Siena in 1423, but still his main area of responsibility lay in the border region.[5] In the council, he seems to have belonged to the circle around Bishop Henry Beaufort, and he followed Beaufort – now cardinal – to peace negotiations at Berwick in 1429.[5] As Warden of the East March, he was constantly occupied with peace negotiations and defence of northern England, but his efforts were constantly frustrated, and in 1434 he resigned his commission.[10][11] The next year, Richard Neville, Earl of Salisbury, equally exasperated by the lack of royal support, gave up his commission as Warden of the West March. Northumberland was appointed joint warden with the earl of Huntingdon of both marches for one year, during which time, although suffering defeat by the Earl of Angus at the Battle of Piperdean,[12][13] he was able to repel a siege on Roxburgh by James I of Scotland.[14] In 1440 he was once more appointed Warden of the West March, and this time held the position until his death.[15]
Feud with Neville family[edit]
Initially, Northumberland's relations with the other great northern family, the Nevilles, were friendly. He was already connected to the Neville earls of Westmorland through his marriage with Eleanor Neville, and in 1426 he married his sister Elizabeth to the young Ralph Neville, 2nd Earl of Westmorland.[5] In the early 1440s, Northumberland was involved in other disputes. A conflict over land with the archbishop of York escalated into open violence.[16] The king intervened on the archbishop's side, though Northumberland remained in favour at court. Nevertheless, he spent less time involved in central affairs at Westminster in the later 1440s.[5]
In the early 1450s, the relationship between the Percy family and Salisbury – who belonged to a cadet branch of the Westmorland Neville family – started to deteriorate.[17] What triggered the conflict was the marriage between Salisbury's son Thomas and Maud Stanhope, niece and heiress of Lord Cromwell.[18] By this marriage Wressle Castle, which had traditionally been in the possession of the Percy family, would pass to the Nevilles.[19] At the same time, the Neville-Cromwell wedding had led Huntingdon (now Duke of Exeter) to join the cause of the Percys, because of a territorial dispute with Cromwell. Northumberland himself, who was nearing sixty, did not take action at the time, but one of his younger sons did. Thomas Percy had been created Baron Egremont in 1449, relating to his possessions in the Neville-dominated county of Cumberland.[20] On 24 August 1453, Thomas attacked the Neville-Cromwell wedding party at Heworth near York with a force of over 700 men.[18] No one was killed in the skirmish, and the wedding party escaped intact.[21]
The conflict, however, continued over the following years. On 8 October, Northumberland and Salisbury were summoned to court and ordered to end the conflict, but the warnings were ignored.[5] Instead, the collective forces of the Percy and Neville families gathered at their Yorkshire strongholds of Topcliffe and Sand Hutton respectively, only a few miles apart.[22] Both sides had ignored royal commands to disband, and battle seemed inevitable, but eventually a truce ensued and the forces withdrew.[5] Then, in October 1454, Thomas Percy and his brother Richard were captured by the Nevilles in a battle at Stamford Bridge.[20][23] The conflict was escalating, and converging with events in national politics.
Towards civil war[edit]
Discontent was brewing in England against the personal rule of Henry VI, who had been declared of age in 1437. The main antagonists were Richard, Duke of York, and Edmund Beaufort, Duke of Somerset. Somerset enjoyed great influence over the king, but after Henry had been incapacitated by mental illness in 1453, York was appointed protector in 1454.[24] The Nevilles were by this time closely associated with York, so the natural option for Northumberland was to side with Somerset and the king.[5] Attempts were made to reconcile Northumberland and Salisbury in the north, but little was accomplished. In December, the king rallied sufficiently to resume control of government, and York's protectorate was terminated.[25] With Somerset back at the centre of power, civil war seemed imminent.
In May 1455, Northumberland was travelling with the king and Somerset to a great council at Leicester, when the party was intercepted by York and the Nevilles.[26] On 22 May 1455, at the First Battle of St Albans, the royal forces clashed with the forces loyal to the Duke of York, in what has been described as the first battle of the Wars of the Roses.[27] The battle was a complete victory for the Yorkist side, and led to another reversal of the political situation.[28] The king was taken captive, and Somerset was killed. Northumberland was also among the casualties, and was buried at the nearby St Albans Abbey.[5] A suggestion made by a contemporary chronicler, and supported by modern-day historians, said that the true purpose of the battle was to settle personal scores.[5][29] Once York and Salisbury had killed Somerset and Northumberland respectively, the battle was effectively over.[30][31]
Estates and family[edit]
The Percy estates were primarily located in the northern counties of Yorkshire, Northumberland, and Cumberland.[5] Even though the title was restored in 1416, and the Percy estates were officially regranted, this did not mean the immediate return of all the family possessions. Protracted legal battles followed, particularly with John, Duke of Bedford.[15] Even at the time of his death, Northumberland had not recovered all the estates once held by his grandfather.[1]
Northumberland's marriage to Eleanor Neville produced at least ten children. Henry Percy was succeeded by his son Henry Percy, 3rd Earl of Northumberland, who himself died fighting in the Wars of the Roses, at the Battle of Towton on 29 March 1461.[32]

(1/92) * Do I need a license to operate a CB radio? (4/92) * What are the CB Frequencies? (3/92) * What are the common brands of CB radios? (3/92) * What should I consider when choosing a location for my antenna? (1/92) * Once I hook up my CB and antenna, is the radio ready to use? (2/92) * What are good antenna characteristics and what are some good antennas? (3/92) --Rec.radio.cb Frequently-asked Questions-----------------------------Part 2-- * What is CB? ------------- CB stands for "Citizen's Band" radio. It got that name because its main idea is to be a kind of radio anyone can use. Depending on the country you live in, it is either a minimally-regulated or an unregulated set of radio channels used for short-range (local) communications. Many people use CB radios in their vehicles, homes or both. This UseNet newsgroup, "rec.radio.cb," is all about CB radio. Readers can expect to find discussions, questions, and answers about CB here. There are also other newsgroups for other radio applications, such as rec.radio.shortwave and several subgroups of rec.radio.amateur, for amateur or "ham" radio. Radios either wanted or for sale are the subject of rec.radio.swap. (Though, an article about a CB radio for sale should be cross-posted to rec.radio.cb and rec.radio.swap with a distribution limited to your city, state or province.) * Do I need a license to operate a CB radio? -------------------------------------------- The answer to this question depends on the country you reside in. We currently have information on the US, Australia, the UK, Japan, France, and Germany. --- in the US You are no longer required to have a license to operate a CB radio in the United States. The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) did at one time require a Class "D" license for for Citizen's Band which required nothing more than filling out a form and sending it in to the FCC with the license fee. The FCC then sent you a call sign which might look like "KPS 2720" or something similar. During the CB craze in the mid-70's, the FCC decided that the paper- work burden outweighed the benefits and put CB under blanket authorization. The FCC permits the use of the following to identify yourself: a. Your old Class D callsign, if you have one. b. K, your first and last initials, and your zip code (i.e. KPS 68123) c. your name (i.e. "Paul") d. some unique nickname or Handle (i.e. "Cobra", "Rubber Duck", etc.) --- in the UK, Japan, and Germany No license is required. You may identify yourself by your name or a handle of your choice. --- in Australia Australia's CB regulations are similar to what the US had before it deregu- lated CB. A license is required but there is no examination. We are looking into more details - if the government issues you a callsign, you have to use it to identify yourself. Otherwise, you may identify yourself by your name or a handle of your choice. We have not received any more details from our source in Australia that brought this to our attention - if anyone else can fill in more details, please send them to us. --- in France You are required to obtain a license but there is no examination. At the time of this writing, the license costs 190FF every 5 years. You have to send France Telecom the "agreement number" from your radio. Once on the air, you may identify yourself by your name or a handle of your choice. --- notes for all countries There are rules and regulations that must be complied with while using CB, no matter which country you live in. If you don't have a list of those rules (which most likely were included with your CB), you will probably find them at any store that sells CB radios. * What are the CB Frequencies? ------------------------------ The answer to this question depends on the country you reside in. We currently have information on the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, Japan, France, and Germany. --- in the US Legal CB transmitters use the operator's choice of AM (amplitude modulation) (with 4 watts maximum power) or single sideband (with 12 watts maximum power) on the following frequencies. frequencies (MHz) modulation description 26.965 - 27.405 AM/SSB 40 channels, max power 4W AM, 12W SSB 1=26.965 11=27.085 21=27.215 31=27.315 2=26.975 12=27.105 22=27.225 32=27.325 3=26.985 13=27.115 23=27.255* 33=27.335 4=27.005 14=27.125 24=27.235* 34=27.345 5=27.015 15=27.135 25=27.245* 35=27.355 6=27.025 16=27.155 26=27.265 36=27.365 7=27.035 17=27.165 27=27.275 37=27.375 8=27.055 18=27.175 28=27.285 38=27.385 9=27.065 19=27.185 29=27.295 39=27.395 10=27.075 20=27.205 30=27.305 40=27.405 * Channels 23-25 are not in ascending order due to historical reasons. CB started with only 23 channels. Later, 24 and 25 filled a gap between 22 and 23 and 26-40 were added in ascending order. Special-use channels: 9 - emergency, monitored in some areas by "REACT", a volunteer group coordinated by the local Sheriff's office (not in all areas) 17 - unofficial "trucker's" channel (California & western U.S.) 19 - official "trucker's" channel for traffic and speed trap advisories 30-40 - Often are used for single sideband (SSB) activity Note that US regulations disallow "DX" long-distance communications (over 150 miles in this case) with CB. --- in Canada We don't have specific information on Canada but, "reading between the lines" on articles posted from Canada, we believe that made-for-the-US radios are legal. --- in the UK The UK has 2 bands for CB as follows: Legal CB transmitters use FM (frequency modulation) in either of 2 bands: frequencies (MHz) modulation description 26.965 - 27.405 FM 40 channels, same frequencies as US 27.6 - 27.99 FM 40 channels, 0.01 MHz (10 kHz) spacing AM and FM are not compatible so a US-legal CB cannot communicate with a UK-legal CB even though they may use the same frequencies. And each is illegal on the others' soil so this only prevents use of atmospheric skip between them. FM is legal on CB in most or all of Western Europe so a UK CB can communicate with those from the mainland if they are in proximity to do so. This will usually be the case only if someone takes their CB across the English Channel or North Sea. Make sure your CB is legal in the other country before trans- mitting (i.e. power output, modulation, licensing, or other regulations.) --- in Australia Australia has 2 bands for CB. The use of AM or FM depends on the band. frequencies (MHz) modulation description 26.965 - 27.405 AM/SSB 40 channels, same frequencies as US max power: 4W AM, 12W SSB (same as US) 476.500 - 477.475 FM 40 channels, .025 MHz (25 kHz) spacing As the first of the two bands above shows, made-for-the-US CB radios are legal in Australia. The following AM/SSB band frequencies have special uses either by regulation or by common usage: Channel 8 Road channel (truckers) Channel 9 Emergency (same as US) Channel 11 AM calling Channel 16/LSB SSB calling, also used for DX (distance) Channel 35/LSB unofficial additional SSB calling, also for DX --- in Japan Japan has 3 radio frequency bands that do not require licenses. Two of them are limited to extremely short-range use because of low power limits. The other, with maximum power output of 5 watts, is more like CB as it is known in North America, Europe and Australia. frequencies (MHz) modulation description 26.968 - 27.144 AM (no SSB) "Citizen's Radio" maximum power 0.5W channels 1-8 on 26.968, 26.967, 27.040, 27.080, 27.088, 27.112, 27.120, and 27.144. Other channels in between these are assigned to fishing vessels (with 1W max power). 422.200 - 422.300 FM "Specific Low Power Radio", also known as "UHF CB" maximum power 0.01W (10mW) 9 channels with 12.5 kHz spacing. newly-authorized in 1989, mostly used for handy-talkies and ski patrols 903.0125-904.9875 FM "Personal Radio" maximum power 5W 158 channels with 12.5 kHz spacing External antennas are permitted. Radios must be equipped with a control ROM for automatic ID. As in the UK, made-for-the-US CB radios are illegal in Japan. There have been cases where such radios have caused interference with maritime emergency traffic. --- in France France uses the same frequencies (in 40 channels) as the US but also allows FM in the same band. The only legal CB radios in France are those which are approved by France Telecom. frequencies (MHz) modulation description 26.965 - 27.405 AM/SSB/FM 40 channels, same frequencies as US max power: 1W AM and 4W FM (we don't have the max power for SSB - inquire locally) Channel 9 AM used to be for emergencies but was deregulated because no one monitored it for that purpose. Channel 19 AM is the calling channel (used to establish contact then move to another channel.) Channel 11 FM is used for DX/skip long-distance contacts. AM is the more commonly-used modulation method in France. --- in Germany Germany also uses the same frequencies as the US. AM and FM are the only legal modes of modulation. (SSB is not allowed.) AM is only allowed on some channels. frequencies (MHz) modulation description 26.965 - 27.405 AM/FM 40 channels, same frequencies as US except that Channel 24 is 27.245 MHz and Channel 25 is 27.235 MHz. max power: 1W AM and 4W FM AM is allowed on Channels 4-12 FM is allowed on all 40 channels All signals must have vertical polarity. Channel 9 AM is the calling channel. Notes: to meet the vertical polarity requirement, antennas must stand vert- ically. Also, tone-call transceivers are allowed so you can use touch tones to call someone if they are within receiving range and have a radio that will recognize the tones. --- in other western European countries This is the "grab bag" section. We have incomplete information on these countries but we'll tell you what we've heard. We'll add more information as people send it to us. * Italy uses AM and FM like France and Germany. Channel 19 is the calling channel. Channel 9 has no special designation (i.e. it is not an emergency channel.) Italy also has some other unregulated frequencies but we don't have any more information. * Channel 19 is the calling channel in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Sweden. * From the context of a news article, we assume CB radios in Sweden and Finland must be "CEPT approved". We guess that means AM/FM and specifies power limits on each. * What are the common brands of CB radios? ------------------------------------------ Some of the more common brands that you will find out in the US market are as follows: Uniden, Cobra, Midland, Realistic (Radio Shack), Archer (Radio Shack) and others. Made-for-the-US radios are also legal in Canada and Australia. We currently don't have any corresponding information for Europe or Japan. * What should I consider when choosing a location for my antenna? ----------------------------------------------------------------- The answer to this question differs greatly between base and mobile installa- tions. Each will be answered separately. In mobile installations, things to consider are whether you're willing to drill holes, use a magnet mount, or use a bumper mount. If you say "no" to all of those (which would probably mean you have a very nice car) your list of options is pretty short - use a handheld with a rubber duck antenna. Otherwise, you can start making choices with the following things in mind: 1) the closer your antenna is to the top & center of the vehicle, the better. So the roof is better than the trunk and both of those are far better than the bumper. But they'll all work. 2) a drilled/permanent mount is better than a magnet mount in the same loca- tion. (This is so that the antenna gets a better "ground plane".) If you use a magnet mount, run your coax feed line through the door or hatch that gets the least use and then leave it alone. Don't use any path where the coax would get pinched. For base installations (i.e. at home) the best places are "as high as you can" within legal limits. The roof is normally fine. If you're in an apartment complex, you may be limited to a balcony but ask the manager - they may just want you to keep it "invisible." (Check your national and local regulations. In the US, the FCC regulations limit CB antennas to 60 feet above ground level.) Base station antennas should have a good ground in case of lightning. (In the rare event of a lightning strike, this can mean the difference between burning down the building or just the radio.) Most cold water pipes that go into the ground will work. But the best choice for a ground would be an 8-foot (2.4m) copper rod stuck in the ground near the antenna. (If you want to use anything other than the rod for a ground, contact someone knowledgeable about housing construction and safety - you don't want to accidentally use a hot water or gas pipe. You also need to know your local building codes.) * Once I hook up my CB and antenna, is the radio ready to use? -------------------------------------------------------------- No. When you get a new CB and/or new antenna, the CB and the antenna must be tuned or "matched." To do this, you need an SWR meter which is a device that measures the impedance between the radio and the antenna. SWR stands for "Standing Wave Ratio." The lower your SWR, the better your match. First timers are recommended to get help from a knowledgeable person but some notes about the process are included here. You do NOT want your SWR reading to be over 3:1 ratio on any channel. It can damage your radio. A "perfect" match is 1.0:1 which gives you the best efficiency for your radio's output. However, "perfect" isn't possible so 1.1:1 is the best you can hope for. Even 1.5:1 is acceptable, but it isn't as good. You will only be able to achieve your best match on one or a small group of channels. The SWR will increase on each channel as you get further from that point. So 2:1 may even be unavoidable on the extremes, like Channels 1 and/or 40. If you know you're going to use one channel most of the time, try to put your best match there. Otherwise, just center it at Channel 20 so you can use all 40 channels optimally. You may find SWR meters at places like Radio Shack or amateur radio dealers. Further information about Standing Wave Ratio can be obtained from the ARRL Handbook. (ARRL is the Americal Radio Relay League. Their annual handbook is full of information on many different aspects of amateur radio but the basic concepts apply in all radio bands.) Most stores that sell CB radios will have an SWR meter and someone who knows how to use it. But they will charge for their services. * What are good antenna characteristics and what are some good antennas? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Antennas have to be designed to transmit and receive on the band that you are using. CB is located in the 11-meter band. (They call it that because the wavelength is about 11 meters.) CB antennas range in height from a little under 2 feet (24 inches) up to 108 inches. The 1/4 wave whip (108") will offer better reception and transmission capability over a shorter, coiled or "loaded" antenna. VERY short antennas, or multiple antennas that aren't "phased" properly will result in a very poor signal. Remember, for cophasing antennas, they must be 1/4 wavelength apart which, for the 11 meter band, is around 9 feet. Most cars aren't wide enough to allow antennas to be placed 9 feet apart. The other characteristic of cophasing is that it is much more direc- tional than a single antenna. It will transmit and receive MUCH better along the axis of the car than sideways off the car so if you want a omnidirectional antenna, you don't want cophasing (so you only want one antenna.) Another subject of common questions is about antennas which receive AM/FM broadcast stations and act as a CB transceiver antenna. User experiences on this newsgroup vary widely with each brand. (The motorized ones seem to have the least favor among the postings we've seen.) In general, these antennas work but are not nearly as good as a dedicated CB antenna. You have to weigh the advantages and disadvantages for your circumstances. Good brands of dedicated CB antennas include (but are not necessarily limited to) Hustler, Wilson, FireStick and K-40.

Recover data from XBox hard drive?
A friend's XBox took a major the other day and he gave me the hard drive saying "try to save my stuff". I'm not 100% sure what his "stuff" is, but is it even possible to recover data from an XBox hard drive if it's plugged into a PC? I hooked it up thru a USB port, and all that Windows tells me is that it's an unrecognized format. And that's only in Computer Management > Disk Management. I can't even access it thru My Computer. So, I'm assuming that it's a totally different filing system. I even tried running some data recovery apps on it. Easy Recovery Pro didn't even recognize that a drive was connected, and PCInspector reports the drive as 0.00mb in size, and therefore says that no data can be recovered. I haven't done any research yet, this is my first stop.... so, any ideas out there??
Thanks. |

Preterm labor. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 10029786 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Preterm labor is the leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality in the United States. It is characterized by cervical effacement and/or dilatation and increased uterine irritability before 37 weeks of gestation. Women with a history of preterm labor are at greatest risk. Strategies for reducing the incidence of preterm labor and delivery have focused on educating both physicians and patients about the risks for preterm labor and methods of detecting preterm cervical dilatation. Methods used to predict preterm labor include weekly cervical assessment, transvaginal ultrasonography, detection of fetal fibronectin and home uterine activity monitoring. As yet, it is unclear if any of these strategies should be routinely employed. At present, management of preterm labor may include the use of tocolytic agents, corticosteroids and antibiotics. |

My self-summary
Write a little about yourself. Just a paragraph will do.
I am an arts History student. I love studding other cultures,
religions and alternative health methods. I am Reiki Therapist. I
paint, sculpt, take photos and make pottery. I love all kinds of
music, but I was born in the south so I have a love for country. I
love all kinds of movies, but if it's overly vulgar or violent it's
just not going to work for me. I have an open and honest
personality and I will tell you if something is REALLY bothering
me, you'll never have to wonder how I feel about something if it's
important. I'm typically upbeat and very social. I like to spend
time with friends but I'm not a big party girl. I love my family
and I am extremely close with my mother. She has always been in my
corner even when I make stupid decisions. I have a dog names Luna
and she is the cutest thing in the universe. I love the outdoors,
but prefer to do climate friendly things. Example: in the summer I
want to be at the lake, not hiking up a mountain. I'm very open
minded religiously and believe in a lot of different things. I do
consider myself Christian, it's complicated. If you want details it
would be a good conversation. Yes religion is very important to me.

Jose, Sumy and Vinoy, KJ (2007) Design and Optimization of Broadband Micromachined Antenna. In: 2006 Annual IEEE India Conference,, Sept. 2006 , New Delhi .
Design_and.pdf - Published Version Restricted to Registered users only Download (3660Kb) | Request a copy |
Performance improvement of a micromachined patch antenna operating at 30 GHz with a capacitively coupled feed arrangement is presented here. Such antennas are useful for monolithic integration with active components. Specifically, micromachining can be employed to achieve a low dielectric constant region under the patch which causes (i) the suppression of surface waves and hence the increase in radiation efficiency and (ii) increase in the bandwidth. The performance of such a patch antenna can be significantly improved by selecting a coupled feed arrangement. We have optimized the dimensions and location of the capacitive feeding strip to get the maximum improvement in bandwidth. Since this is a totally planar arrangement, and does not involve any stacked structures, this antenna is easy to fabricate using standard microfabrication techniques. The antenna element thus designed has a -10 dB bandwidth of 1600 MHz

JJJ August 06, 2013 8:19 PM Lotus for me too. I also gave the Marussia and STR good marks and a 7 for the red car. The Merc and Caterham are just ok IMO...not really cool, but not bad either. The McLaren livery is completely played out and boring by now, can't wait till they change it next year when Vodafone leaves and then the year after when Honda comes back. FI and Williams have good colours but should make better looking liveries with them (come on Williams, richer deeper blue and less white please). The RBR and Sauber are plain ugly colourwise if you ask me. Reply Report abuse 2 agree 1 disagree

Ok, this has gone on far too long! Come on, a 14 year old blind & deaf dog??? That's 98 years old if you were a human. This dog "wondered off" as far back as May 23, 2012. A dog this old in this condition is clearly ready for doggy dirt nap time and most likely became coyote food or buzzard feed after day two.
"Sightings" by two people, and even more near Sennebec Lake in late June are as likely as finding Elvis shopping with Amelia Earhart at Hannaford last Wednesday. These posters have littered our public property long enough to lead us to believe that "Sage" is a major candidate in the upcoming presidential election. Enough already! A dog of this age has found a secure & eternal home among the foliage and needs to be left to rest in peace. Get over it!!! |
Aug 4, 2012
Apparently, Sage will NOT be coming down to breakfast anytime soon. Get over it.
Sep 7, 2012
I feel bad for the owner but I'm amazed they didn't get in trouble for the amount of posters that were put on poles, signs, and basically anything vertical. I've seen these signs as far as North Belmont! That's easily 10,000 posters. I've seen them on Appelton Ridge, Lincolnville, Warren, on EVERY POLE!
If I'm not mistaken it's illegal to post on CMP's poles but I guess they felt sorry for them. I had a dog somehow go missing of his lead while I was on the treadmill with headphones on. I was upset but I left his fate up to someone who might call the number on his collar. Stuff Happens! |
Sep 9, 2012
I hope all who posted the nasty posts about this poor dog will rot in HELL!!! Stupid Hicks!!!
Sep 15, 2012
...Not nearly as much as that dog has rotted by now, I'm afraid this person has just witnessed a "sighting" and was recently abducted along with said dog by aliens... One word to the enraged.. WAAAAAAA! |
Sep 16, 2012
One sign the first week would have been enough, but this was clearly overkill and they should've made the owners clean up their mess!
Sep 23, 2012
there is a curse enclosed in this reply after you read this your D!ck will fall off HAHAHAHAHAH!!!! |

You are a HORRIBLE person for what you say. It is good people actually care about their animals 'FAMILY' You have no right to judge HOW MANY ADDS,FLYERS, POSTERS, ANYTHING these people do NOTHING is more heartbreaking than losing a family member!!! Dog or person... I dont understand people who think as you do... You must be a lonely and bitter person (or a spoiled brat) for this to make you sound so cruel... It has nothing to do with you so if you cant help keep your negative attitude to yourself... |

Westmeath boss Pat Flanagan is desperate for his side to get the win they need to stay in Division 2 of the National Football League.
The Lake County are bottom of the table going into the final day of the campaign, but a win against Derry would see Flanagan's men avoid the drop, with five teams under threat.
"My reading of the situation is that we're safe if we win, and that's what we're all fully focused on doing," Flanagan told the Westmeath Independent.
Westmeath have suffered several demoralising results this season, but the manager is delighted to be in with a hope of retaining Westmeath's second-flight position.
He said: "If anybody, at the start of the campaign, had given me the chance to win our last game, at home in Cusack Park, to maintain Division 2 status, I'd have bitten their hand off."

Authors on Stage with Jay Tunney
Category: Authors on Stage
Location: Adrian Lamb Room
Gene Tunney, the world heavyweight-boxing champion from 1926 to 1928, seemed an unusual companion for George Bernard Shaw, but Shaw, a world-famous playwright, found the Irish-American athlete to be "among the very few for whom I have established a warm affection."
The Prizefighter and the Playwright chronicles the legendary relationship that formed between this celebrated odd couple. From the beginning, it seemed a strange relationship, as Tunney was 40 years younger and the men could not have occupied more different worlds. Yet it is clear that these two famous men, comfortable on the world stage, longed for friendship when they were out of the celebrity spotlight.
Author Jay R. Tunney is the son of the famous fighter, and his book is a beautifully woven and often surprising biography of the two men. The book evolved from the acclaimed BBC radio program The Master and the Boy.
