Greek gov't forcing end to Athens metro strike
Finance Minister Yiannis Stournaras ruled out any softening of the pay reform.
"In some public corporations, workers with elementary education are paid more than university professors," he said. "Nobody wants that sort of situation."
The strike has been met with a mixture of understanding and exasperation from commuters, many of who are in a similar situation and are suffering cuts to their own income. Strikes in general are so widespread and frequent in Greece that they have become part of everyday life.
"Good for them. How else can they live? They work 50 meters underground for (EURO)500, (EURO)600, (EURO)900 (per month)," said Vangelis Zisis, standing at a crowded bus stop before the transport blackout was announced. "What is (EURO)900 ($1,200) today when prices have skyrocketed?"
Others were angered by the disruption the eight-day strike was having on their work.
"It's turned my life into a nightmare," said Sophia Economopoulou, who works for a mobile phone company handing out promotional phone cards to commuters. "You understand the nature of our work depends on the metro. So my nerves are on edge."
The government has insisted there can be no exceptions to the new public sector pay scales, which is part of spending cuts been imposed in order to meet fiscal requirements by international creditors in return for much-needed bailout loans. The loans' conditions have deepened the country's economic hardship - Greece is in a sixth year of recession, with unemployment spiraling to above 26 percent.
"The Greek people have made sacrifices. Huge sacrifices. And I cannot allow exceptions," Prime Minister Antonis Samaras said. "Besides, public transport doesn't belong to unions. It belongs to the people, who have the right to use it and not to be inconvenienced from morning to night."
"So let everyone understand it: the mistakes of the past will not be repeated."
Unions and the main opposition party, the radical left Syriza, responded to the mobilization order with outrage, saying it was reminiscent of a military dictatorship.
"They have declared martial law against the workers. Problems cannot be resolved with martial law," said Syriza lawmaker Panagiotis Lafazanis.
Separately, a seamen's union announced a 48-hour ferry strike starting next Thursday to protest recent changes in labor laws that will allow more employees to be hired on short-term contracts.
Efty Katsareas in Athens contributed.

Thursday afternoon big clouds of black smoke from the northern part of the ConocoPhillips refinery drew the attention of local residents.
The good news, according to Hutchinson County EOC Director Danny Richards, is the smoke made the fire appear worse than it was with fire crews being able to contain the fire from ever being a threat to the Borger community.

Smitten with kitten
Henderson couple wouldn't trade their blind cat for anything
Gracie Austin is so crazy about her sight-impaired kitty named Helen that she wouldn't trade her for anything.
"I wouldn't take $10 million for her," the Henderson resident said. "I just think there's something so special about her."
And while Gracie's husband, Perry, starts hedging a little when talking tens of millions of dollars, he's pretty smitten with the kitten, too.
The Austins adopted Helen from the Humane Society of Henderson County last fall after the 8-week-old stray was found along U.S. 60-East.
Veterinarians initially thought that Helen would need several expensive surgeries on her eyes and nasal passage. But that didn't prove to be the case, and other than being spayed, Helen hasn't required specialized medical care.
The cat, who is named after Helen Keller, has no eye at all in her right socket and only an underdeveloped left eye, which may allow her to have a very minimal amount of sight. She was born that way, Gracie said, and it doesn't really bother the kitty's activities around the house.
"I don't think she has any inclination that she's blind," said Perry, a Henderson native and registered nurse who is working on his master's degree in nursing education from the University of Southern Indiana.
Helen apparently compensates for the lack of eyesight with finely tuned senses of smell and hearing.
"She uses her whiskers to feel the perimeter and move around" the house, Gracie said, noting that Helen runs and plays "like any other cat."
"Once in a while she'll run into something," Gracie said, but most of the time Helen and her feline sibling Trevor hang out and play together just like other cats.
"She chases him, he chases her," Gracie said. "He's pretty gentle with her," especially considering the 14-pound tomcat is almost double the size of the petite Helen.
The Austins adopted Trevor from the local animal shelter a few months before Helen came along. They had married in 2006 after meeting near Phoenix, where they were both travel nurses.
After moving to Henderson and living in an apartment for five years where they couldn't have a pet, Gracie didn't wait too long after she and Perry bought their Henderson home to get Trevor.
"We moved in May and I brought him home a month later" after seeing him at the shelter, where he had been for several months, said Gracie, who grew up in Cleveland, Ohio. "I thought this is a great cat; he must be for me."
But Trevor wasn't king of the castle for long. A little princess soon to be named Helen showed up at the shelter, where Gracie works as a volunteer, in early September.
It was love at first sight. "When I picked her up, she immediately started to purr and my heart just melted," Gracie said.
The scene wasn't too different with Perry.
"I brought her home to meet Perry and she curled up on his knee and started purring," Gracie said. Although technically the couple was just fostering the kitten, "I knew I'd never give up that cat," she said.
Perry quickly fell under Helen's spell. "I just love them to death," Perry said of both cats. "Trevor is my buddy and this is my little girl. She's a sweetie."
Helen didn't win over Trevor's heart quite as instantly. "It took about three days and they've been buddies ever since," Gracie said. "They wrestle. They groom each other. They lie in bed and take naps together."
One thing they don't do much of together is eat, as Trevor is on a weight-control diet while Helen has room to grow. Thus, Helen is treated to extra meals in an enclosed area, and Trevor doesn't get an "endless buffet" as Perry calls it of food sitting around.
Because of that, Trevor often serves as a feline alarm clock, waking up Gracie at 4:30 or 5 in the morning, wanting to be fed. That's not always a bad thing, though. "At times I'd have been late" for her job as a registered nurse in the surgical and trauma ICU at Deaconess if Trevor hadn't awakened her.
"Perry thinks it's funny that (Trevor) bites me every single morning to be fed," Gracie said, adding that the tomcat also will walk all over her if she doesn't get up quickly enough to suit the hungry kitty.
"Trevor is a great cat but I guess she needed us and that makes her really special," Gracie said.
So as much as the Austins laugh at Trevor's antics, it's Helen's daintiness and sweet personality that have really won them over.
"If I could, I'd have a little carrier for my kitty and carry her around all day," Gracie said.
"She's cuter and cuter every day. She really is kind of like a little baby," she added. "She's just the cutest cat ever created by God. I love this cat."
Gracie said she believes that Helen should have a normal life span for a cat, despite her eye and nasal problems, and that she has adjusted well to their house and Trevor.
"She seems really happy," Perry said.
Gracie agrees. "As long as she acts like she's happy, we'll provide her with the best life we can."
And maybe even pamper and adore the little princess along the way.
"She's our little angel," Gracie said. "I think she's perfect — absolutely perfect."

UAV Operator Blames Hacking For Malfunction That Injured Triathlete 178
from the convenient-line dept.
This is why, as a professional athlete, I always make sure I'm fielding my own anti-drone drone to take out drones that get close to me.
Reminds me of a student, many years ago, who told me very seriously that hackers regularly broke into his home computer to mess with him. The evidence? Visual Studio (IIRC) kept changing between "inserting characters" and "overwriting characters" when he typed.
I asked if he might be accidentally hitting the Insert key. He had no idea what the Insert key did.
To his credit, when I explained, he acknowledged that this might have been the cause and perhaps there weren't any hackers in his computer after all.
After that, you erased all traces of your invasion, and left his computer alone?

Net::ISC::DHCPd::OMAPI - Talk to a dhcp server
my $omapi = Net::ISC::DHCPd::OMAPI->new( key => "dhcpd secret", ); # connect is lazy $omapi->connect my $lease = $omapi->new_object(lease => ( ip_address => "10.19.83.200", )); if($lease->read) { printf("Got hardware_address=%s from ip_address=%s\n", $lease->hardware_address, $lease->ip_address, ); }
This module provides an API to query and possible change the ISC DHCPd server. The module use OMAPI (Object Management API) which does not require the server to be restarted for changes to apply. It does unfortunately support the protocol natively, but instead fork
omshell(1) which this module read and write commands to.
OMAPI is simply a communications mechanism that allows you to manipulate objects, which is stored in the dhcpd.leases file.
See subclasses for more information about the different objects you can manipulate: Net::ISC::DHCPd::OMAPI::Failover, Net::ISC::DHCPd::OMAPI::Group, Net::ISC::DHCPd::OMAPI::Host, and Net::ISC::DHCPd::OMAPI::Lease.
This variable will enable debug output.
This attribute is read-only and holds a string describing the remote dhcpd server address. Default value is "127.0.0.1".
This attribute is read-only and holds an integer representing the remote dhcpd server port. Default value is "7911".
This attribute is read-only and holds a string representing the server secret key. It is in the format
$name $secret and the default value is an empty string. An empty string is used for servers without a secret to log in.
Holds the last know error as a plain string.
$bool = $self->connect;
Will open a connection to the dhcp server. Check "errstr" on failure. A connection means starting the program
omshell(1) and trying to log in, if the dhcpd "key" is set.
$bool = $self->disconnect;
Will disconnect from the server. This means killing the
omshell(1) program, which then actually will make sure the connection is shut down.
$object = $self->new_object($type => %constructor_args);
This method will create a new OMAPI object, which can be used to query and/or manipulate the running dhcpd server.
$type can be "group", "host", or "lease". Will return a new config object.
Example, with
See Net::ISC::DHCPd.

Harrelson's good in good roles, great in great ones, and perfectly content to play shallow and uninteresting ones, in my opinion. So yeah, he's a good actor who doesn't take his job overly seriously.
Fuck Woody Allen.
I'm going to walk away before I combust with the unrelenting rage of 15 dying stars
I don't know if he is particularly a good actor. But I would disagree about him not leaving an impression. That's what he is good at. He is entertaining. I haven't seen Rampart which I think is suppose to be sorta his big acting role if you know what I mean... where you say "Oh! He can act!"
He's really really good in A Scanner Darkly. Him and Robert Downy Jr. going off eachother is amazing.
He's a character actor. He tends to chase interesting side roles and your girlfriends impression that he's "willing to be in anything" is a result of that. When your career is that diverse, there are bound to be a few misfires, but I view his career with more envy than I do most actors. It's certainly and interesting one, and exploring your art form is surest way to mastery.
However, I can't really think of any really meaty or difficult characters he's played.
PS: Goddamn. Looking through his filmography, I need to start watching.

Character actor, that is all.
I was just thinking of Dennis Hopper whom I first saw in Easy Rider, then later re-make his career in Deep Velvet. Harrelson kind of needs that movie now, though it strikes me he has been more consistently prolific.
THAT's who that one guy was in No Country for Old Men!!! Knew I recognized him! Kept thinking...I should know this actor. Didn't see the credits as I should of.

I dunno. He seems good and I enjoy his performances, but regardless of who he's supposed to be playing, he's always Woody Harrelson.
I guess to me he's an enjoyable actor, though not necessarily a good one.
Also if you have a girlfriend, why are you on OKC, and why is your girlfriend okay with this?
I'm betting threesomes!
Woody is a great actor, and anyone who thinks otherwise is wrong and is bad and should feel bad and all their pets will die and they wont go to heaven.

True Detective.
That is all.
He is quite good. I loved him in True Detective. Played a good charismatic psycho in Natural Born Killers. I remember my Dad watching Cheers - and (even as a little kid) finding his "Woody" character pretty dang funny. If you can effectively play drama and comedy- you're a good actor.
I challenge you to find an IMDB profile that doesn't look like that.
That's easy, you just need to be a great actor and then die in your prime.

Saxon has always been very user friendly as far as explaining a concept. This book is not anything like the previous Saxon books we have used. It's difficult to understand. My son spends hours working on the practice problems and ends up with half incorrect. Don't waste your time or money on this book.

I and Alg. II. Of nine students, five have dropped within the first five weeks due to frustrations with the text. This is not the Saxon I've loved and heartily endorsed. The questions are confusing and take forever to wade through (yes, we're using the corrected version). I would work through the lesson with my daughter and then she'd spend an hour doing the problems, miss 50-75% of them, and then we'd spend an hour correcting the lesson. It was with great relief we fled to a different curriculum that she is flying through. BTW, the Saxon tests are a breeze, so she obviously learned something, but we don't have 2+ hours to spend on math each day.

Q: What calculator is needed for the Saxon Geometry?
This curriculum requires a graphing calculator.
Q: errors in Geomtery? I am hesitant to buy Saxon geometry as the Algebra half had many errors in the solution manual. Please could you tell me whether there are any errors in the geometry course as there have been complaints made on the reviews. Have the errors been corrected? Thank you.
In the first print run there were some errors in this curriculum. These have been corrected and we have not heard of any problems for quite some time.
Q: geometry workbooks. Whats the difference between the student workbook and the adapted workbook, besides the number of pages?
The Geometry course doesn't have either a Student Workbook or Adapted Workbook.
Q: when to study Geometry? When should a high school student study geometry? Is it after Algebra 1 or Algebra 2 Saxon math?Thank you
If your student is required to complete a separate Geometry course, Saxon Geometry can be taken either between Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 or after Algebra 2. If not, the heart of the geometry course is embedded in Saxon's Algebra 2 and Advanced Math. Students who complete Algebra 2 have taken the equivalent of one semester in geometry, but they would need to complete Advanced Math in order to complete one full year of Euclidean geometry.

Is it obvious when it's time to change the size of diaper you kid needs to wear?
Change diaper size?

good question, I think it will be but I wanna hear from NFTM
Carly+Tyler = Shane Carter born 07/28 at 6lbs14.5oz, 20.5"!
Yes you can usually just see that it's not fitting- at the sides is where it's most obvious. Or if LO keeps having blowouts. You can also just go by weight- when LO reaches 8 pounds, go ahead and start the size 1s. My DD is 10 days old today and just went to size 1s yesterday.. not sure her weight as of today, but the sides weren't fitting the best anymore. That and we ran out of NBs. (Good timing!)
ETA: We found that the Huggies NBs fit a little bit longer than the Pampers ones. The tabs reached farther on the front, covering the sides of the legs more.
Yes, it is obvious. The diaper will not hold the amount of urine your baby puts out. My daughter was born 3 weeks ago and the newborn diapers were a little too big, so I got a pack of preemie diapers. We only used 1, the diaper leaked so bad and did not hold anything! So we went back to newborn size.
My rule of thumb has been when my dc got to w/in 1 lb of the upper end of the wt, then it was time to move to the next size. Like if the wt was 10-16 lbs, when my dc weighed 15 lbs, time to move up size.
Nothing fancy Mom of 4 :-)
"To everything there is a season." Ecc. 3:1
You will be able to tell when it is time to go up a size. Usually the sides will be snug and you will have more leaks/blow outs. My daughter is 13 days old and is still in preemie diapers although the newborns work in a pinch.
Shellie - DD Jordan Ann (2/26/00) & Avery John (born 7/4/09, original DD 7/28/09)
Ok, quick question from me now.. do you normally need NB diapers? I thought size 1s were the equivalent.. lol :( I hope I have a big baby in that case LOL
Carly+Tyler = Shane Carter born 07/28 at 6lbs14.5oz, 20.5"!
On my kids, it was pretty obvious. When the diapers didn't seem to fit right. Like they were getting too tight or they started to leak then I switched to the larger size. Mine all stayed in newborn for 2-3 weeks, then went to size 1 for 3-4 of months, then size 2 for a long time, then size 3-4 as they started crawling and walking. I never went above size 4. We have potty trained at that point.
Just keep an eye on how the diapers fit. You'll see the change as your lo gets bigger.
m0rbid- usually the newborns fit better because they're a little more snug than the 1s, but they also come down a little lower in front so the diaper doesn't cover the umbilical cord area. The 1s don't have that, and you'd have to fold the top down under, which can cause urine to leak out since it doesn't fit as snugly. My DD was 7lbs 13oz, and in 9 days used one pack of Huggies NBs and one pack of Pampers NBs. The hospital here has only size 1s, and she had a few leaks while in them. My DS on the other hand, I didn't get through one pack of Huggies NBs because he was 8lbs 15oz at birth... he went quickly to the 1s when I realized why it was leaking.
Ah, thank you cheryl! I think we have some NB, I honestly can't remember. I'll have to look at them. I think we have a big packet of like 92 or something.. I hope we do!
Carly+Tyler = Shane Carter born 07/28 at 6lbs14.5oz, 20.5"!
Okay...good to know.
I just need to work on my diapering technique then. Every time I put a diaper on when it comes time to change it, the kid is low-riding them with his ass-crack hanging out the back. Hubby thinks I'm not putting the diaper on very well. I thought it might be time to upgrade to the next size.
My babe was born at 3 lbs, 14 oz and is now just over 5 lbs. We're still in preemie diapers and he'll be 5 weeks old on Monday! I keep thinking he's going to take off any day now and start packing on the pounds.

Shuttle Launches with Teacher Aboard
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Space shuttle Endeavour blasted in orbit Wednesday carrying teacher-astronaut Barbara Morgan, who after more than two decades is finally carrying out the dream of Christa McAuliffe and the rest of the fallen Challenger crew.
Endeavour and its crew of seven rose from the seaside pad at 6:36 p.m., right on time, and pierced a solidly blue sky. They're expected to reach the international space station on Friday.
Once Endeavour was safely past the 73-second mark of the flight, the moment when Challenger exploded shortly after the call "Go at throttle up," Mission Control exclaimed, "Morgan racing toward space on the wings of a legacy."
Immediately after the shuttle reached orbit, Mission Control announced, "For Barbara Morgan and her crewmates, class is in session."
Morgan was McAuliffe's backup for Challenger's doomed launch in 1986 and, even after two space shuttle disasters, never swayed in her dedication to NASA and the agency's on-and-off quest to send a schoolteacher into space. She rocketed away in the center seat of the cabin's lower compartment, the same seat that had been occupied by McAuliffe.
"Good luck, godspeed and have some fun up there," launch director Michael Leinbach said.
More than half of NASA's 114 Teacher-in-Space nominees in 1985 gathered at the launch site, along with hundreds of other educators, all of them thrilled to see Morgan continue what McAuliffe began.
Also on hand was the widow of Challenger's commander, who said earlier in the day that she would be praying and pacing at liftoff and would not relax until Morgan was safely back on Earth in two weeks.
"The Challenger crew "" my husband, Dick Scobee, the teacher Christa McAuliffe "" they would be so happy with Barbara Morgan," said June Scobee Rodgers. "It's important that the lessons will be taught because there's a nation of people waiting, still, who remember where they were when we lost the Challenger and they remember a teacher was aboard."
NASA Administrator Michael Griffin met Tuesday night with several members of the Challenger astronaut families in town for the launch "" although not the McAuliffe family "" and said they did not seem worried.
"They didn't act like they came to see another tragedy," he said. "They're here to celebrate her having a chance to fly."
Griffin knows better than most that NASA could lose another teacher in flight.
"Every time we fly I know that we can lose a crew," he told The Associated Press hours before the launch. "That occupies a large portion of my thoughts. Unless we're going to get out of the manned space flight business, that thought is going to be with me every time we fly."
A week into the flight, Morgan, 55, will speak with schoolchildren in Idaho, where she lived and taught before joining NASA in 1998 as the first teacher to undergo full astronaut training. She'll also answer questions from students in two other states if the mission is extended from 11 days to 14 days as planned. The crew will test a new power converter that should allow the shuttle to remain docked to the station longer than ever before.
Endeavour is fresh from an overhaul that's kept it grounded for nearly five years. Besides the power transfer system, the shuttle has been equipped with complete satellite navigation and improved main engine monitoring equipment.
Liftoff had been scheduled for Tuesday, but last week NASA delayed the flight by a day because of a leaky valve in the crew cabin that needed to be replaced.
NASA is hoping a successful flight will draw some attention away from the rash of embarrassments it's faced this year, most recently a NASA-commissioned medical panel's report suggesting astronauts were intoxicated on launch day on at least two occasions.
Griffin said Wednesday that NASA is investigating the anonymous allegations. The space agency's top safety official has gone back 10 years through every shuttle flight and can find no flight surgeon, astronaut or document hinting at launch day drinking by a crew member, he said.
"This is not a credible scenario. They're on TV. We just watched them having breakfast," Griffin said, referring to the Endeavour astronauts.
"The charges seem uncredible, and it also seems uncredible that somebody would just make it up. That's why it's so puzzling and that's why it's serious and that's why we will investigate."

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

What race do you think this transmog is cool ?
Female Troll works well too. Female Undead is alright. The issue is, most Horde races hunch over, making it look odd.
Female Undead works good for me, but I have the helmet not visible otherwise its looks a bit chunky
I really don't like Belf, and pandaren is strange.

I don't think it looks 'cool' on any race it always looks tacky.
I would toss it honestly as a ticked would do nothing, but if you want to use it try a female troll (you only left tauren, orcs and trolls anyway from your later amendments), those can pull of the most sets compared to other chars.

Since Sean Payton returned from his bounty ban in January, the Saints have steered clear of scandal or contract holdouts in a blissfully uneventful offseason. With the focus back on football, optimism abounds in the Big Easy. ''Here we are, really for the first time in four years, where you feel like this is a normal offseason,'' quarterback Drew Brees said recently. ''You come to work every day with no distractions other than just focusing on football and getting better.'' The 2010 offseason was unusual in that the Saints were defending champs. In 2011, there was a lockout. Then 2012 was overshadowed by the NFL's probe of the Saints' cash-for-hits bounty system, which resulted in suspensions, fines and lost draft picks. Further complicating matters was Brees' contract holdout, which ended a couple weeks before 2012 training camp. Brees still passed for 5,177 yards last season while leading a unit ranked second in yards per game, but such production wasn't enough to get the Saint...

"first review. yayyyyyyyyyy, so here we go. I am no super expert in headphones, but heres what I think the bass is very rumbling. I think that it wasn't as thumping or hard hitting as i would like it, but i really think that is because i am using the dt770 velour pads. when i put my hands on the outside of them, i can feel it hitting harder then it does on my ears. the middle ranges..." --classycans

"Astrotec has been mostly into budget IEMs until recently, when they introduced their AX60, AX7 and now their AX30/35. The version I have here today is the AX35.

"Astrotec seems to be a relatively new company to join the higher end IEM business and when I was offered an opportunity to borrow the AX-60 for a week for me to give my impressions, I jumped at the chance.

I'm a little bit fed up with all these bollywood and tellywood actors/actresses and the limits they will go to to avoid paying tax.
It is well known in the industry that quite a number of these actors/actresses take their payment in the form of gold and jewellery. It is a fairly common practice in their industry...bcause if they took their payment in cash...they would have to declare it as part of their earnings and pay indian tax on it.
So...I wouldn't be surprised if she converted a chunk of her payment for her Cannes appearance from Chivas Regal into jewellery to avoid paying tax.
What does surprise me is that she thought she could get away with it. Surely...as a well-known actor...she has traveled to a number of overseas destinations and it boggles the mind that she would not know what she is supposed to declare and not declare.
This is like a week old news!
She's already been cleared, and she clarified that it wasn't anyone's fault, and it was not knowing about the specific Custom laws.

JVC GY-HMQ10, 4K Quad-HD 144mbitps pro camcorder for $9000!
JVC is now releasing their new JVC GY-HMQ10 professional camcorder below $9000 on the Japanese market (750,000 Yen). It's using the JVC Falconbrid processor as in my JVC GC-PX10 camcorder that I've been using to film all of my CeBIT 2012 videos (using 720p@50fps@12mbitps for faster uploads), all of my OLPC Summit videos (most include direct-download links to the original 1080p@50fps@36mbitps camcorder files), all my LeWeb 2011 videos were also filmed using the JVC GC-PX10.
The JVC Falconbrid is one of the new upcoming 4K2K Quad-HD camcorder processors to bring more and more affordable 4K cameras to the market!
The JVC GY-HMQ10 I think is designed for professionals, but I also think it's possible that sooner rather than later, JVC might decide to provide 4K recording support in the sub-$1000 camcorders also in something like a successor to the JVC GC-PX10, perhaps the sub-$1000 JVC GC-PX20 will support 4K!
The main question is how to let it record 4K video uncompressed. The new JVC GY-HMQ10 provides 4 SDXC slots supporting thus 4x 64GB SDXC cards that can thus store 4 hours of 4K 144mbitps video onto those four 64GB SDXC Cards in RAID 0 (256GB) in Apple's ProRes422.
It takes space for 4 SDXC card slots, I wonder if it's possible to provide a slot for 2.5" SSD drive or perhaps even a SATA hard drive, but then the 4K camera has to become bigger in size than the JVC GC-PX10.
This sounds like it might be cheaper than the Red Scarlet camera (that seems to need to cost at least $15000 to be able to shoot 4K).
Sub-$9000 for 4K start to be getting there. I wonder though if 2012 isn't going to be the year of the first sub-$2000 4K camcorders, as I also think people are going to be able to find affordable 4K 55" HDTVs also from Sharp and others.

One of the images released by Australian authorities showing 'Object 2.'
An oceanographer who specializes in analyzing satellite images said he has spotted a possible oil slick in photos released Thursday that may show debris from missing Flight 370.
The search for the Malaysia Airlines 777 was narrowed down to a remote area of the Indian Ocean after Australian authorities unveiled images appearing to show two large pieces of debris.
"I spend a lot of my life looking at these sorts of things, and the first thing I thought when I saw the photo was, 'there's a slick in that one,'" said Dr. Simon Boxall, a lecturer at the government-funded National Oceanography Centre in Southampton, U.K. "If you look at the one they have labeled 'Object 2' there is an interesting spot under the object itself."
Boxall told NBC News that he has analyzed thousands of satellite images showing oil slicks in water during his career.
He added that the timing of the photo, just after noon local time, was important because the sun would have been overhead, making any oil in the water glint.
Boxall said the detail gave "credence" to the idea that the debris is connected to Flight 370, but nevertheless urged caution.
"There are lots of things that could give a false positive," he said. "It could be a container that is leaking oil, or even just a shoal of fish glinting in the light and giving that appearance."

10 questions Hollywood and movie fans want answers to
Things are always changing in Hollywood, but there are some nagging questions that even the industry's most knowledgeable insiders can't answer yet. From the fate of Open Road Films to whether DreamWorks Animation made the right move to the legitimacy of Melissa McCarthy's box office starpower to the never ending story of "will there or won't there be a 'Justice League' movie anytime soon?" movie biz players have had a lot to gossip, er, consult with each other about. Power agents switching from one agency to another is a snooze, these are questions that Hollywood and movie fans are both looking for answers to.
With that in mind, check out 10 questions that this pundit keeps hearing again and again in the story gallery below.

"This new edition adds to the original volume the deliberations thereon of the Royal Commission on the Reform of the House of Lords and the reaction in the press."
Before New Labour came to power and when even the prospect of reform of Britain's House of Lords was regarded with scepticism, Anthony Barnett and Peter Carty developed the idea of selecting part of a new upper house by lot: creating a jury or juries, that are representative of the population as a whole while being selected at random, to assess legislation. This new edition of the original proposal includes an account of the reception of the idea, their evidence before the Commission on the Lords established by Tony Blair, and a response to the great advances in citizen-based deliberation that have taken place since the mid-1990s. It concludes with a new appeal to adopt their approach as efforts to reform the Lords continue. Anthony Barnett was the first director of Charter 88 and is the founder
"This new edition adds to the original volume the deliberations thereon of the Royal Commission on the Reform of the House of Lords and the reaction in the press."
"[The Athenian Option, A People's Parliament and A Citizen Legislature] raise important issues for the future of our democracy. Their appearance is a sign that the public philosophy which has for so long governed our political arrangements has become outworn."
"Well-presented and argued works and I recommend them ['Athenian Option' and 'A People's Parliament'] to anyone with an interest in democratic governance... The use of the lot in the ways discussed in these books merits more careful consideration than it has received to date."

Our customers love these long-lasting suits for therapeutic pools, frequent swimming, spas, travel and anywhere your suit needs to stand up to difficult environments.
QuikEnergy ™ suits have a thicker fabric that offers superior fit, compression, and support. The quick-drying, breathable fabric wicks away sweat and protects the skin from the sun with 50 UPF UV Protection. The extra life lycra ensures that these suits will last longer than cheaper suits bought in stores. This long lasting fabric will eventually wear out from prolonged exposure to chlorine, so be sure to read the swim care tips.

Post-Mubarak, Egypt's state security docs posted online
Tuesday - 3/8/2011, 3:30pm EST
Egyptians now have a new government, and new-found access to state security documents.
The fall of the Mubarak regime also meant the elimination of the country's State Security Investigation Service. The agency served as a government-within-the-government, and after its compound was raided by citizens, its documents are being made public.
Egyptians can now view information on torture guidelines, university leadership appointments, even themselves.
The Daily Beast reports that this past weekend, following reports that documents were being burned and moved out of the State Security service, a group broke in and captured some of the documents. Activists carried them home and yesterday they started posting them online.
Egyptians can now browse through pages and pages of documentation of the daily activities of a secret service that controlled everything from university appointments to the guests on TV talk shows to the winners of the next elections to, allegedly, the drug trade.
While they are not confirmed to be from State Security, the Daily Beast reports that the documents leaked so far appear to be genuine.

UN Security Council calls for a Palestinian state
The council backed the long-stalled road map to Mideast peace drafted in 2003 by the Quartet Mideast peacemakers – the U.S., Russia, the U.N. and the European Union – which outlined simultaneous steps for Israel and the Palestinians to establish a Palestinian state.
The council also backed the Arab peace initiative launched in 2002 that calls for Arab recognition of the Jewish state in exchange for a full Israeli withdrawal from all lands captured in the 1967 Mideast war.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said both sides must take steps to achieve peace.
"Violence and terror will not bring the Palestinians statehood and dignity," he said, "and settlement expansion and closure will not bring Israel security or peace."
