Shout Factory has just released "H.P. Lovecraft's From Beyond" on Blu-ray for the first time and it is absolutely a must have for horror fans.
Not only is it a unique and entertaining horror film, it is loaded with tons of extras that will have you entertained for hours.
"From Beyond" was released in 1986 and stars Jeffery Combs, Barbara Crampton, Ken Foree, Ted Sorel, and Carolyn Purdy-Gordon. It was directed by Stuart Gordon and the special effects were done by John Buechler and Mark Shostrom.
"From Beyond" is based on the short story by H.P. Lovecraft. It's about a scientist who creates a device called "The Resonator" and it is supposed to stimulate a gland in the human brain. When the scientist's assistant Dr. Crawford (Jeffery Combs) turns on the machine, a bunch of monsters appear and one of them bites him. He tries to turn off the machine but the other scientist won't let him.
Dr. Crawford gets scared and runs out of the house. The neighbors hear all of the commotion and they call the cops. When the cops arrive they find Dr. Crawford outside of the house and the scientist dead inside. It looks like Crawford killed the scientist so they lock him up in a mental institute.
While Crawford is in the institute, his doctor becomes interested in "The Resonator" and discovers that the gland in his head has grown, so she wants to investigate it. She lets Crawford go back to the house so she can see "The Resonator" and to see if it really works. Once they turn "The Resonator" on, monsters appear and the chaos begins.
I really liked the story a lot and thought that it was really good. I had never read the short story, so it was new to me and I liked it.
The special effects are what made the movie in my opinion. The gore and creatures looked great and very believable.
The quality of the movie looked amazing and was crystal clear. I would have to say that this is the sharpest looking film of the Scream Factory series yet. The Blu-ray looked phenomenal and even the DVD looked astonishing.
I mentioned earlier that the "From Beyond Blu-ray/DVD Combo pack" was full of special features. It is insane what is included with this collection. The special features include:
I was entertained for hours with all of the special features and I know people who buy "From Beyond" will feel the same way.
I was very impressed with my review copy of Shout Factory's "H.P. Lovecraft's From Beyond: Blu-ray/DVD combo pack." The story was great and the special effects were stunning. The quality of the films was astonishing and the special features were unbelievable and very entertaining. I know that people who purchase "From Beyond" will definitely get their money's worth and will not be disappointed.

I'll go with 86 wins, second place, possible wild card.
Starting pitching will be better, but not sure how much better. Some starters need to come through.
Bullpen will be good with Chapman in there, then Masset's return, perhaps bolstering during the season
Team will still have hitting slumps particularly when facing lots of righty pitching.
Bench so-so. Defense excellent.
Team traded away young depth, may be susceptible to injury this year.
86 wins.

Last Friday, the Cats defeated nationally-ranked Louisville on the road, standing tall in the face of several attacks from the Cardinals. Tonight, Kentucky played with the same energy it brought on Friday.
Kentucky got a first half goal from Gabriel Conelian in the 34th minute, taking a 1-0 lead into halftime. The Wildcats seemed to be fired up and ready to charge out of the gates in the second half. However, two minutes into the second stanza the Buccaneers equalized on a penalty kick. In the past, the Cats may have lowered their heads and started playing not to lose.
Instead, a more mature UK team responded with a goal in the 74th minute by Steven Perinovic and added an insurance goal by Charlie Pettys in the 83rd minute on a penalty kick.
"I think you can definitely see the confidence," head coach Johan Cedergren said. "They scored to equalize the game and our kids said 'Okay they scored, fine we will score another one.' I think that's the big change you see is that they know they can do so much better and they know they can play with anyone in the country."
Junior goalkeeper Jack Van Arsdale has played huge for the Cats the last few games and has come up with some big-time saves. Van Arsdale held off the Louisville attack, recording six saves in the process to pick up the upset. With the score tied 1-all this evening, the Bucs had a chance to go ahead on a header midway through the second half but Van Arsdale made a tremendous save to keep the game even.
The Cats seemed to get a boost from the play and were able to get a set piece to Perinovic, who found the back of the net for the game winner.
"Jack has been coming up huge," Perinovic said. "In the Louisville game he had six saves and was named national team of the week and he has been playing out of his mind for us right now. He's been keeping us in a lot of the games."
Assistant coach David Casper works with the goalkeepers and has put in a lot of time trying to help Van Arsdale, Callum Irving and Dary DeWalt improve. Cedergren gives a lot of credit to Casper and feels that Van Arsdale is really thriving under his guidance.
Not only has Van Arsdale's play improved, but so has the entire defense. The Cats were a goal away from recording their third shutout in four games and they seem to be trusting each other more and building chemistry.
"We are finally becoming a cohesive unit," Perinovic said. "The more you play with each other it gets more solid in the back and you get to know what each other is going to do. (Jacob) Kemper played great tonight as he always does. (Jacob) Speed, it's been a good partnership with him and then Dylan (Asher) is always solid on the right so I think we have been coming along really well."
Perinovic's goal came on a header off a free kick from the left corner. Cedergren has talked about how great Perinovic is in the air and they have been working on set pieces attempting to get him opportunities to score.
Being good in the air is one thing but it's a two-way street. There needs to be a good service into the box in order for Perinovic to have a chance. Pettys served a great ball to the far post and Perinovic found the back of the net for his first career goal.
"It was great because we have been working a lot on set pieces in practice," Perinovic said. "It was nice to get one and especially to go up 2-1. Pettys kept trying to go near post but it was so crowded in there so I told him to go far post and he played a great ball in. Give him all the credit on the service."
Pettys is another player who has brought a lot of energy to the squad. He started the year playing outside back and has since made the transition to midfielder. The move looks to be brilliant as Pettys has brought another dynamic to the offense using his hustle and knowledge of the game.
Pettys is someone the Cats can play through because he is so smart with the ball and makes good decisions. He led the team in passing/completion ratio against Louisville at 93 percent and gives UK a chance with his lethal leg on free kicks.
It was Pettys' assist to Perinovic that gave UK the lead and he sealed the game as he stepped up and drilled a penalty kick.
"I think Charley's got an engine that never stops running," Cedergren said. "For Charley, I think that's sometimes his biggest strength is to just keep going. He was very confident with the penalty kick, made good service with the free kicks and he filled in fullback for us when we were trying to figure out our system. Now he's playing wide midfield I think he can add even more going forward."
Riding an upset over Louisville, the Cats kept their momentum going tonight and seek to make it three in a row as they travel to Evansville this Saturday. First things first though, Kentucky took care of business tonight and really showed some swagger out on the field.
They allowed a tying goal in the second half but instead of getting down on themselves, stepped back up with their heads held high and used a team effort to get back-to-back wins.
"We came off a big emotional win against Louisville on Friday," Cedergren said. "It was really important for us to come out and keep that momentum going. I think we did that tonight, we came out a little slow in the first half but picked it back up and we all worked for each other and ended up getting the win."

Below is the poem entitled Risible which was written by poet
bauer. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Ilene Bauer
When words defy the grammar rules,
In spelling or in sound,
It's easy to feel foolish,
Or at least that's what I've found.
Today the word was "risible."
I'd never heard it said,
So I employed a long "i"
When a short one's used instead.
My references were visor, rising,
Wise, surprise and more
But indivisible (as in the pledge)
Was at its core.
I guess I learned a lesson
Though I've known it all along –
You shouldn't make assumptions
'Cause most likely, you'll be wrong!

How to Live Incognito
To live incognito is to live under an assumed identity whilst concealing who you truly are.Be smart and start reading!
1Travel constantly by whatever means you can devise.Ad
2Live in an isolated part of the country. For example, Appalachia, the northern most Western states (excluding coastal Washington and Oregon), and the deserts of the Southwest.
3Live in Mexico and Canada. Or in another country.
4Live as a near-homeless person and-or as a slightly crazy person.
5Live in safe houses/ hiding places.
- When people ask where you live have a place ready. But never the same. Make sure every answer is different
We could really use your help!
- Become your alter ego don't assume it.
- Such agencies as the FBI or CSIS will take an unwanted interest in you should you fail.
- If you want to do this effectively cut off all contact with those who knew you before.
- This isn't for everyone.
- You will probably have to answer a lot of questions so this is not for stupid people and bad actors
- You may go hungry certain days.
- You may be eligible for arrest if you are caught assuming other identities.
- If for some reason you wish to become anonymous to the point that you are seriously looking for advice about how to do it online (if you are, I hope it is from a public computer that doesn't require a log in), please consider the following alternative to severing all ties and living as a migrant worker. I do not see how it would be illegal to simply assume an identity, however to do anything with it is, such as acquiring a driver's license or a job. Instead of resorting to such drastic measures, consider living as a hermit. You can be virtually anonymous if you want to be, and you don't need to assume a false identity to do it.

Schenectady, N.Y. - Despite tying the game twice, Holy Cross was unable to gain the advantage and was defeated by Union College, 4-2, Friday night at the Mesa Rink in a non-conference game.
The Crusaders evened the score at one-all when Union's Phil McDavitt turned the puck over to junior Tyler McGregor (Ajax, Ont.), who fired a shot from the edge of the right face off circle at 9:43 in the second.
Just 12 seconds into the third Holy Cross tied the score at 2-2 when senior captain Andrew McKay (Bellefueille, Que.) took the puck from behind the net, sending it to junior assistant captain Pierre Napert-Frenette (Bathurst, N.B.), who stood in front of the net. McGregor also assisted on the play.
After a scoreless and penaltyless first period the Dutchmen put the first tally on the board when junior Scott Seney netted his eighth goal of the season at 6:48 with help from sophomore Jason Ortolano and junior Jason Visser.
Union took a 2-1 lead with 7.7 seconds left in the second on a rebounder by senior Jordan Webb. After a Holy Cross turnover, junior Jonathan Poirier grabbed the loose puck and busted down the right side taking aim on the goal. Netminder Tony Quesada (South Freeport, Maine) halted Poirier's shot that was deflected to Webb for his 15 marker of the season.
The Dutchmen responded with two goals, back-to-back in the third to take a 4-2 lead. At 2:34 in the stanza Seney fired a shot through Quesada's five-hole to put the score at 3-2. Union would use a man-up advantage to increase their margin by two when senior Joel Beal scored from in front of the crease at 9:19.
Quesada made 33 saves for Holy Cross, while junior Kris Mayotte halted 19 shots on goal for the win. In all the Union killed off the Crusaders only power play of the game, as Holy Cross was 3-for-4 on the penalty kill.
The Crusaders, who are now 12-8-5 overall, travel to Troy, N.Y. on Saturday night to take on Rensselaer at 7 p.m. at the Houston Field House.

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. - The Cal State Northridge women's soccer team (8-6, 3-1 Big West) defeated Cal Poly 2-0 Sunday afternoon at Alex G. Spanos Stadium. Sonia Espitia, had a goal and an assist, Desiree Cardenas scored her fifth career goal and Cynthia Jacobo made three saves as the Matadors won their first match ever on the Mustangs' campus.
The Matadors entered Sunday's contest winless in four all-time meetings with Cal Poly on the Mustangs' home turf. However, Espitia set the tone early, scoring in the 21st minute. She corralled a feed from Farryn Townley and looped a ball over Brooke Gauvin's head and into the back of the net.
For Espitia, the goal was her second of the season and fourth of her career. With an assist on Cardenas' goal, she has six assists and 14 points for her career. For Townley, the assist was the third of her career and the 42nd point of her career.
Cardenas doubled the Matadors' lead with her third goal of the season in the 77th minute. Espitia sent in a cross that Stephanie Galarze flicked toward the net with her head. Cardenas cleaned it up with a glancing header for her fifth career goal and 12th career point.
The assist was Espitia's second of the season and the helper was the first of Galarze's career.
Jacobo made three saves for Northridge, facing a total of eight shots from the Mustangs. The win moved her to 8-6 on the season and the shutout was her fifth of the year.
In just 21 career appearances, the shutout was the 10th of Jacobo's career, moving her into second in school history. Additionally, she now has 13 career wins, owning the third-most in school history outright. The three saves also gave her 91 for her career, moving past former teammate Kellie Drenner for seventh in school history.
In all, CSUN finished with 12 shots, forcing four saves from Gauvin. Both teams were whistled 10 times for fouls and Northridge's Brittanie Sakajian saw the yellow card in the 90th minute. She became just the third Matador to be cautioned in the 2010 season.
CSUN has now won four of its past five matches and eight of its last 12. The Matadors remained a perfect 7-0 on the season when scoring the first goal of the match.
The win moves the Matadors to 3-1 in the Big West Conference and the nine points puts them second in the table entering Friday's match at nationally ranked UC Irvine. The match, which will be held at Anteater Stadium, is scheduled to start at 6 p.m.

Big inning buoys Texas at Fenway

BOSTON — Martin Perez put Boston's leadoff hitter on base in seven innings. Then the left-hander pitched Texas out of jams by getting five double plays.
That helped the Rangers withstand a late rally and beat the Red Sox 10-7 on Tuesday.
The double play is "a pitcher's best friend," Texas manager Ron Washington said. "They got on base, but he was able to eliminate them."
Boston's five double plays were one fewer than the American League record for a nine-inning game shared by eight teams. The major league mark of seven was set by the San Francisco Giants in 1969.
"Five double plays and we scored seven runs. I'm sure that's pretty rare, too," Jonny Gomes said after Boston's fourth loss in five games. "If we can score seven runs with five double plays, I think we're scratching the surface on the positive side."
The Red Sox grounded into double plays by Dustin Pedroia in the first inning, A.J. Pierzynski in the second, Jackie Bradley Jr. in the third, Ryan Roberts in the fifth and Pedroia in the sixth.
"I'm not a power pitcher," said Perez (1-0), who gave up four runs and eight hits in 61/3 innings. "I'm a groundball pitcher and when you throw good pitches down in the zone, that happens."
Robinson Chirinos started a five-run third inning with his first homer of the season and the Rangers led 9-1 through six. Boston scored three runs in the seventh and, after Michael Choice made it 10-4 with a sacrifice fly in the ninth, the Red Sox scored three times in the bottom of the inning on an RBI single by Gomes and a two-run double by David Ortiz against Joakim Soria.
Mike Napoli, who had three singles for the second straight game, struck out to end it against his old team.
The Rangers finished with 13 hits, the first time in six games that they had at least 10. And they were 7 for 15 with runners in scoring position one night after going 0 for 8 in a 5-1 loss in the opener of the three-game series.
But designated hitter Adrian Beltre left in the sixth with tightness in the front of his left thigh and was to return to Texas to be examined. He was bothered by tightness on the side of that thigh this spring.
Harrison rehab: Matt Harrison allowed three hits and one run over 42/3 innings for Double-A Frisco, striking out three with no walks.
The Rangers' opening day starter in 2013 is penciled in for an April 23 return. He made only two starts last season before two operations for a herniated disk in his back, then had a setback with neck and back stiffness this spring.

The circus that is the English Premier League has reached the stage of the season where Managers and fans make their first big review of where they are, and where they're going. The end of October is usually seen as a good marker to the performance of each club as they head into the harsh winter fixture list.
Here is a brief early season report for each club, how they have done so far and what the rest of the season could hold.
A promising start especially defensively but they are now leaking goals and struggling to score. The pressure is on the board and even Arsene Wenger to push into the top 4. Failure to achieve this or win a cup would be disastrous. Missing Van Persie hugely.
Aston Villa
New manager, very few new players. Paul Lambert is working with a lot of youngsters and is in for a long hard season. Must make the most of their home games to stay up. Relegation battle ahead.
Great start with flowing attacking football. Hazard/Mata/Oscar are the future of the club. Could do with another top quality striker. Can be got at defensively without John Terry. Genuine title challengers.
Uncharacteristic good start to the season. Starting XI could challenge for a top 4 place but could struggle if injuries affect key players. If Moyes can add a couple of signings in January he will hope for the usual late season to charge to secure European qualification and a Cup run.
Good at home, bad on the road. This sums Fulham's Premier League history and will continue to do so. Key players Dembele and Dempsey lost in the summer could have spelt trouble for Martin Jol. Decent mid table side and expectations of the same again will surely be met. Any success depends on the form of Berbatov.
Inconsistent but improving under new manager Brendan Rodgers. Some talented youngsters breaking through ahead of underperforming stars. Defensively weaker than previous years but Suarez finally scoring regularly. A top 8 finish could be considered a good first year for the new regime.
Manchester City
Unbeaten so far but nowhere near the team of last season either defensively or in attack. Summer signings have yet to spark. Picking up points despite performances. Must do better if they are to retain their title.
Manchester United
Addition of Robin Van Persie will be key to title challenge. No problems in attack but still short of quality in numbers in midfield and defence. But if they are in contention at Christmas who would bet against them? Have the most valuable asset in the League-Sir Alex Ferguson.
Newcastle United
A continuation from last season for Alan Pardew's men. Entertaining side who will take the game to any opposition. Expect another top 6 finish for the Magpies.
Norwich City
New manager Chris Hughton has struggled with his side's woeful early season defending. Still a decent footballing side who will need to make Carrow Road a fortress to avoid the drop. Might just be lucky enough to find 3 teams worse than them.
Queens Park Rangers
Continued big spending by Mark Hughes on experienced Premier League standard yet results have been terrible. Currently bottom of the league and need points fast to pull away from the drop zone. Will be hoping the old adage 'too good to go down' applies to them.
A slow start for the newcomers sees them instantly in the expected relegation battle. They will need to find some form quickly and will be hoping for a good transfer window in January to bring some quality to the squad.
Terrible defensively, which if not arrested soon will spell the end of Nigel Adkins and the Saints' brief return to the top flight. More pragmatism needed or they will be cut adrift by New Year.
Stoke City
Stoke City-does exactly what it says on the tin. Tough to play against, tough to beat. The archetypal mid table battlers. Fans will be hoping for another run the Cup to bring some excitement.
Expected to fill a mid-table spot throughout the season and Martin O'Neill's have failed to disappoint on that front. Don't score enough goals as a team to expect anything more so keeping record signing Steven Fletcher fit and in form essential to chances.
Swansea City
Good start for new boss Michael Laudrup as he continues the good work of the previous manager in the Swans' return to top flight football. Good attacking side boosted by the excellent summer addition Michu. Will be hoping to finish in the top half.
Tottenham Hotspur
After a summer of upheaval, controversial appointment Andre Villas-Boas appears to be putting his stamp on the team. Steady improvement sees Spurs heading towards another challenge for Champions League placing. Keeping squad members happy and motivated may provide biggest headache for the manager.
West Bromwich Albion
One of the surprise packages of the season to date, both on the field and in the dugout as Steve Clarke steps out of the shadows into his first managerial role. Loan addition of Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea has given the Baggies a focal point up front and they will be hoping to maintain a healthy league position and clear of the relegation battle as the season progresses.
West Ham United
Sam Allardyce is doing exactly what he was brought to Upton Park to do-get the Hammers up and keep them there. The style is often criticised but is effective and after a promising start they can expect a comfortable mid-table slot. Utilising Andy Carroll to full effect is the key.
Wigan Athletic
Never a dull moment with Roberto Martinez' side whether they are defending badly or playing an attractive attacking game. Inconsistency will always mean they'll be looking over their shoulder, but with tactical nous, team ethic and inspired transfer dealings it should be another season of survival for the Latics.
Would agree with most of what you've said, only a couple of disagreements:Arsenal- i wouldnt say they were leaking goals, personally think the reading game was a one-off when Wenger had to rotate his team before playing Man United. They've actually got the best defensive record in the division, but they are missing RVP.Liverpool- I think on the whole I'd be inclined to agree that a top 8 finish would be good, considering they're in transition, but am not sure the fans will be too happy with that, they probably need to lower their expectations.Man City- completely agree. They've gone backwards in the summer; rodwell and sinclair are just average players, they've lost de jong and what's richard wright doing there!? didnt he use to be a goalkeeper at ipswich like 10 years ago? poor signings, think its between united and chelsea for the title now.newcastle- i dont think they'll get top six with spurs, arsenal, everton and potentially liverpool up there.southampton- i think they can stay up, definately need to improve defensively, but they can score goals and look strong at home which could be important.other than that, id probably agree with you on most of that. who do you think will win the league/go down?
For the title I would say its a toss up between Chelsea and Man City. Chelsea have started well but will falter at some point and City will definitely come on strong. I'd have United just behind them.To go down, for me I'd choose Southampton,Reading and Villa.

Full detailed profile on Matthew Buchanan (Past) Played by Eddie Alderson on One Life To Live Daytime Soap Opera.
Eddie Alderson
Birthday: October 27, 1994
Over at the Buchanan Mansion, everyone gathers around Destiny, scrambling over how to get her to the hospital the fastest. Vivian exams Destiny and announces, "This baby is coming now!" Matthew arrives and rushes to Destiny. He holds her hand and admits he's scared too. Destiny screams in pain, as Mrs. Evans shouts, "My baby's having a baby!" Matthew cheers Destiny on, vowing to be there for her and the baby. Shaun looks horrified as Destiny gives one last excruciating push. They welcome a baby boy. They all gush over the baby. Bo calls David, who wonders if they'll name the baby after him. Bo thanks David for talking Matthew into stepping up then goes to Matthew. Everyone reminds the kids they're not alone. Nora wonders what they're going to name the baby. Bo jokes about David's suggestion. Matthew wants to name the baby after his other brother, Drew. Bo and Nora shed happy tears, remembering Bo's deceased son. They comment on how life flies by. "I love you, Red," Bo cries. "I love you, Bo Buchanan," Nora replies.
Matthew and Nora bring Bo home and warn David's inside the loft. When they enter, David cries, "Welcome home, Pa," as an edition of The Sun falls to the floor with a headline reading, "'Fraternity Row' Don't Go!" David's mainly upset that his movie bombed. Judith Light even snubbed him at the "Fraternity Row" wrap party! David wishes he could've saved the soap instead of giving all of his time to the movie. Bo gives David encouragement then briefly reminds Matthew he's not turning his back on his baby. Nora turns on the television, and everyone watches "Fraternity Row." Later, after Nora and Bo leave, David lectures Matthew about Destiny. "Is this the kind of Buchanan you want to be?" David asks and warns Matthew to buck up and be a man.
Matthew appears in Bo's hospital room, happy that Bo's all right. He would've felt awful had something happened to Bo. Nora and Bo embrace Matthew, happy he's home. Destiny appears and shares a tense moment with Matthew. After catching up with Bo and Nora, Destiny turns to leave. Matthew stops her and apologizes for their past fight. She wonders if he changed his mind about the baby. Matthew refers to Destiny as his best friend. He cares about her but isn't ready to be a father. Destiny reminds him no one was ready. Everyone but him stepped up to help her. She vows to take on the baby by herself and leaves.
At the loft Matthew admits to Bo and Nora that he told Destiny he wishes they could give their baby up for adoption. He vows not to give up college or a social life. Nora knows they'll all have to make adjustments and reminds Matthew he should've thought before his actions to begin with. Matthew wishes Nora would've stayed out of it. Bo warns they can't unmake the decision. They, along with the Evans, will raise the baby. Matthew can live his own life. Matthew resents that he'll look like a deadbeat dad. Their attention turns to "The Blanca Morales Show." Matthew can't believe Destiny called him out on national television. When David suggests Bo wouldn't want him to take a role on "Fraternity Row," Blanca calls Bo. Bo tells Matthew to ignore the phone, but Matthew refuses and hands the phone to Bo, who used to be the soap's producer. Bo brings up the Daisy Award he won for the soap and claims there would be no conflict if David took a role on "Fraternity Row." Bo thinks David would make the perfect Derwood. David protests as the crowd goes wild.
At the loft, Destiny asks if Matthew plans on being part of their baby's life. Matthew wants to be there for Destiny but wishes he could've been there when Destiny found out about the pregnancy. Now it's too late. Matthew rants about college and wanting the baby to have a good home. He wants to meet new people, even new girls. Destiny's offended that their night together meant so little to Matthew. Matthew didn't mean how the words came out. As they scream back and forth, vowing never to talk to each other again, their parents appear. Destiny storms out. Matthew rushes off to his room. Bo and Mr. Evans go to check on their kids, leaving Nora and Mrs. Evans laughing about how they're the only ones who've been acting grownup lately.
Nora and Bo bring Matthew home and are shocked to find David partying in the loft. "Welcome home little, Bro," David screams over the music. "It's so good to see you again, vertical." David brags about his new movie, "The Boy With The Chipmunk Tattoo," and shows everyone his temporary tattoo. Nora worries about Matthew taking in too much. David reminds her that Matthew already woke up and found out he knocked up his girlfriend. After Matthew gets Nora and Bo to leave for takeout, he admits to David that he doesn't know how to deal with Destiny's pregnancy. David knows what it's like to be a teenage dad. Matthew doesn't remember David's confession while he was in a coma. Matthew wonders what happened to David's baby. Destiny arrives. David calls her enormous but claims he and Dorian are very excited. He'd like Destiny to consider them as Godparents then leaves for an interview with Blanca. Destiny gets right to the point and asks if Matthew's going to be part of their baby's life.
In the special care facility, Destiny tells Matthew he's the father of her baby. Matthew recalls the one time they slept together. Destiny was going to terminate the pregnancy. "I made her change her mind," Nora interrupts. Nora thought the baby was going to be the only part of Matthew left. Matthew takes offense. Now he and Destiny have to be parents because of Nora. "I'm a kid," Matthew snaps. Nora promises to be there for them and even raise the baby if that's what Matthew and Destiny want. He's furious Nora guilted Destiny into having the baby after she'd made a choice. Nora thinks Matthew should've thought about this before they had unprotected sex. She rants about Matthew being irresponsible and wonders why he didn't come to her about Eddie instead of rushing into sex? Matthew knew if he had this is exactly how Nora would've reacted. Nora steps out. Matthew's sorry he wasn't there for Destiny. Now she has to raise a baby she didn't want. Destiny admits she does want their baby. She's had a lot of support from her parents, as well as Matthew's. She wouldn't blame Matthew if he wanted to walk away. Matthew takes her hand and makes it clear how much he still cares about Destiny. She leaves to call her parents and tries to ward off their questions about Matthew's reaction to the baby. Nora joins Matthew. The family is excited to hear Matthew's going to be okay. She apologizes for lecturing him. He apologizes as well.
In the special care facility, Matthew wonders if Destiny is pregnant. Nora interrupts and chalks up Destiny's weight gain to nervous eating. Matthew apologizes to Destiny. While the doctor checks on Matthew, out in the hall, Destiny snaps at Nora, "You did not just call me fat!" Nora has to put Matthew's medical needs first. They'll wait until he's stronger to announce the pregnancy. Destiny wonders if Nora's really worried about how Matthew will react when he learns Nora's the reason she's having the baby. Bo agrees with Nora. They need to take things slow. The doctor appears, reports that Matthew's doing fine and suggests they use their judgment when talking about the past six months. Destiny agrees to hold off on the pregnancy news and says, "For the next few days, I'm fat." They rejoin Matthew, who thinks back to Nate punching him and accusing him of killing Eddie Ford. Bo admits Nate fessed up to hitting him. They couldn't press charges because the truth about Eddie would've come out. Later, Matthew touches Destiny's stomach by accident and realizes she's really pregnant. He doesn't appear to remember being with Destiny and wonders who the father is. Nora urges Destiny to respond. "You are," Destiny whispers.
In the special care facility, Bo calls for help while Nora begs Matthew to stay with them. They watch as a doctor successfully restarts Matthew's heart. "Matthew's back," the doctor reports. Matthew whispers Bo and Nora's names and opens his eyes. Nora's so happy to see Matthew's eyes. Bo privately asks the doctor how long his condition will last. Will they lose Matthew again? The doctor suggests they take things one step at a time then questions Matthew, who passes with flying colors. The doctor leaves to order tests. Bo admits Matthew was unconscious for six months. Nora promises they're not going to give up on him. Destiny appears and drops a pie when she sees Matthew's eyes open. They huddle around Matthew. It's the best Thanksgiving ever. Destiny cries happy tears. She becomes hot and goes to take off her coat. Nora tries to stop her, but Matthew notices her baby belly and asks, "Are you pregnant?"
Still unconscious in the special care facility, Matthew watches over everyone in Llanview as if he's right there with them and says, "Where would we be without family today?"
Bo and Nora arrive and go to Matthew's bedside. Bo talks about being fired and how Nora opened a can of whoop ass on Mayor Finn. Nora worries her slap will cause the mayor to end up like Matthew, wherever his mind is. Matthew knows his parents couldn't possibility know where he is, but he feels at peace. Nora calls Mayor Finn, suggests she go get checked out by a doctor then says, "And go to hell for firing my husband." Bo takes a call from David. Matthew silently pleads to hear David's voice. Bo puts the phone to Matthew's ear. Nora recalls how the last time Matthew woke up, it was to David's voice. It doesn't work this time. As Nora and Bo grieve their son's condition, Matthew promises to take what David told him to his grave. Bo and Nora make a toast to their family. As long as Matthew's still breathing, there's hope he'll come back to them. Matthew loves his parents and wishes he hadn't taken the Ford brothers' dad from them.

The present invention relates generally to mailing systems and methods. More particularly, the present invention is directed to mailing systems that provides value- added services incorporated into the international processing of a mailpiece.
Postal systems have been designed and created to foster communication between individuals and business entities. Typical postal service communications have been in hard copy format; however, recently, electronic communication such as e-mail, internet, computer facsimile and digital telephony have become significant methods of communication. These communications have been mixed, forming what is known in the art of postal services as "hybrid mail". One such example of hybrid mail is traditional facsimile in which hard copy and electronic messaging are combined. While electronic mail is typically faster and more economical than traditional mail, it proposes security concerns and legal concerns. Whereas traditional mail may be slower, it is more accessible to a broader range of individuals, offers proof necessary for many daily transactions and, in some instances, it is more effective than electronic mail. However, there are several occasions when the advantages of electronic communication and the advantages of traditional mail may be combined to provide a more effective communication solution.
To this end, postal systems have grown to provide a variety of value-added services associated with mailpiece delivery. One recognized purpose of sending a mail item is to solicit a reply message from a recipient or service provider. Such a reply message may be a response to the message contained in the mail item or a service type message having to do with sending and/or delivering and/or receiving the mail item by either the mail recipient or the service provider or both. The requirement to receive confirmation of mail acceptance and/or delivery is particularly common and normally addressed by certified, registered or insured mail. These types of mail are traditionally organized around a physical proof of acceptance and delivery, such as a physical receipt, which is signed by the service provider's clerks and/or the mail recipient and physically delivered to the mail originator (mailer).
The postal services incur considerable cost for such value-added service, and the mailer is charged a fee that is significant in comparison to the cost of regular delivery of the mail item. For example, when a mailer requests a return receipt, the recipient of the mail signs a card stating that the mail has been received. This card is physically delivered back to the original mailer as acknowledgement of mail receipt from the recipient. Such physical proofs of acceptance and delivery are economically inefficient and time-consuming. Most, if not all, postal systems require individual, manual handling of special services mail. These systems are considerably more expensive than automated mail processing systems which are based on machine readability of information present on mail items.
As of 1998, almost 20% of the population in the United States and other industrialized countries, in general, have access to electronic mail via Internet. Even a higher number of mailers use facsimile regularly. These numbers are expected to grow dramatically. Although such electronic communications provide speed and efficiency over the physical delivery of mail, there is no indication that such electronic communications will replace the physical delivery of mail. Heretofore, such electronic communications have been an alternate form of communication to the physical delivery of mail.
U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/339,768, assigned to the assignee of the present invention, discloses value-added services based on electronic confirmation of service for only the mail items communicated between the original mailer and the originating post office. It was envisioned that mail items would be of an international nature, yet the performance of special services would continue to be directly communicated between the mailer and the originating post office. This application discloses the concept of electronic confirmation of delivery in the preferred embodiment which involves printing by the mailer his/her electronic address (where he/she would like to have confirmation to be sent electronically) on the mail item itself. This electronic address may be encrypted in the digital postal mark, printed in a plain text form, or in a machine readable format in such a manner that this electronic address can be captured effectively and reliably from the mail item by any convenient data capture device, e.g., optical scanner. In an alternate embodiment, unique mailer identification (which is typically printed in the digital postage marks or other proof of postage payment indicia) can serve as a pointer to a database of mailer's registered electronic addresses, and the electronic address for confirmation can be retrieved from such a database. Also, the electronic address would typically have to be pre-registered for a mailer to enjoy value-added services and would not work with mailers who prefer to use stamps and not register with postal authorities for digital postage payment evidencing solutions such as PC-based and other digital meters. However, the system of the present invention would work with any method of payment.
Specifically, Digital Postage Marks (DPM) (a.k.a. digital indicia, a.k.a. information based indicia) are computerized information printed or otherwise attached to a mail item to provide evidence of payment to a verification authority (e.g., the United States Postal Service). This type of information, generally referred to as postal data, preferably includes identification of the metering device (or licensee) responsible for the payment, unique identification of mail item, value of various accounting registers, location of the mail deposit/mailer's account, postage value, and may include other desired information. Such information is typically protected by a cryptographically generated validation code known as CPVC (Cryptographic Postage Validation Code). Another way to protect DPM is by supplying the verification authority with the value of the validation code (Postage Validation Code or PVC) prior to mail submission as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,612,889, assigned to the assignee of this application. This means that a mail item is sent by a mailer in one country to a recipient in another country, and the sender would like to request performance of a value-added service, for example, confirmation that the mail item was delivered to a mail box of the recipient or actually received by the recipient or a member of the household of that recipient. This also contemplates a broad variety of desired services and confirmations. Typically, in this case, the mail item itself must be handled by several postal operators or carriers including at least the carrier of first handling (typically the postal operator of the country where mailpiece originates) and the carrier of the last handling (typically the postal operator of the country where the mailpiece is delivered to the recipient) and possibly carriers operating in other intermediate countries.
The problem remains in international postal delivery that the postal operator of the first handling may not want to share electronic addresses of its customers with other postal operators (e.g., in the destination country). Sharing of the electronic address, in turn, reveals the first handling postal authority's customer list to subsequent handling postal authorities, who could then usurp the customers and maintain direct communication with the original mailer. The subsequent postal authorities could circumvent the need to communicate through the first handling postal authority to the original mailer and, thus, steal the first handling postal authority's customers. This would result in loss of revenue related to the value-added services provided by the original postal authority and any revenue related to services provided which uses the customer list.
In this case, the postal operator of the originating country would prefer that electronic confirmation concerning a given mail item be sent to the postal operator of the first handling, not directly to the original mailer of the mail item. This postal operator then may electronically forward the confirmation to the original sender of the mail item, thus protecting valuable and confidential electronic addresses of its customers. The system of the present invention provides the ability to satisfy this need of postal operators working in an open and competitive environment.
In accordance with the present invention, a means is provided to overcome the aforementioned difficulties of performing value-added services requested by an original mailer in an international postal system, without revealing the original mailer's identity other than to the originating postal authority. It has been found that the mailpiece may include information that can be used for other than security and postage payment verification. For example, by including an e-mail address of a postal authority on the mail item, the present invention provides a method and system for an originating postal authority to receive a return message from a subsequent handling postal authority related to the requested value-added service. This information is then electronically delivered to the mailer. Thus, the postal authority saves on the mail cost by adding this attribute to the mailpiece, and the originating postal authority maintains the confidentiality of its customer database in addition to its competitive edge in the marketplace. The savings may also be passed along to the mailer. This invention integrates traditional hard copy and electronic communication into one effective communication system that takes advantage of beneficial features of both traditional mail and electronic mail, while offering end users (i.e., the rate-paying public) a broader selection of communication services.
The present invention provides for the integration of electronic communication information, such as an e-mail address or a telephone, facsimile or pager number, of a first handling postal authority, into either a machine-readable format or direct printing of such information on the mailpiece. This allows the automatic creation and forwarding of service messages (such as delivery confirmation) to the first handling postal authority, which may then be communicated to the original mailer in a confidential and more efficient and expeditious manner. Essentially, any information about a mail item known to the original or subsequent postal authorities can be forwarded to the mailer (or other intended recipient) through an alternate electronic communication channel. This concept can be extended even to the mail item communication message, which typically is hidden from the carrier. Issues arising about confidentiality, message integrity, authentication and non-repudiation may be solved through the implementation of well- known security techniques, such as cryptography. The present invention deals effectively with issues arising based upon confidentiality, message integrity, authentication and non-repudiation.
The system of the present invention assumes that all postal administrations involved have communication means for communicating with each other. This could be private or public communication networks (such as Internet), telephone network and the like. It is assumed that for the purpose of providing cross-border postal services with electronic confirmation, all postal administrators allocate their own electronic address which they supply to all other postal operators involved. In this manner, for example, the USPS knows the electronic address of the Canada Post (e.g., Canada Post Internet Server designed to receive all confirmation messages from USPS) and vice-versa. When mail items are marked as items requiring electronic confirmation of service delivered, and when mail items have machine-readable indicators of originating and destination countries (for example, in the form of the so called license plates), then the postal operator of the destination country can capture from the mail item the license plate information of the originating country and retrieve its electronic address either directly from the mailpiece or from a database of electronic addresses of sister postal operators. The e-mail address or country of origin information may be printed directly on the mailpiece, included in a digital post mark (DPM), or contained within a separate machine-readable indicator. Then, the postal operator of the destination country can send electronic confirmation concerning a specific item to the originating country (or country of the first handling).
When such a confirmation message arrives, the postal operator of first handling must then forward this message to the original mailer. This would require at least the knowledge of the mailer's electronic address. If the mailer is pre-registered with the postal operator of the first handling and mailer's electronic address is stored in a database indexed by mailer's identity information, then the required electronic address can be retrieved. In this case, the postal operator of the final handling postal authority, the country of final or last handling, should provide in its message to operator of the country of the first handling at least the identity of the original mailer, and they may also provide the identity of the mail item. Mailer identity and mail item identity may be accompanied by necessary confirmation information about the proof of service provided, such as, for example, digital image of the recipient's signature and mail piece digitally signed by special private key of the public key cryptographic system of the postal administration of the country of last handling.
If the original mailer has not pre-registered his/her electronic address with the postal operator of the country of first handling, then an alternate mechanism may be used. For example, the mailer creates and imprints (or otherwise attaches) to the mail item a machine-readable block of data. This block of data would contain mailer's electronic address for receiving confirmation encrypted with a public key of the specially designated private-public key pair of public key cryptographic system of the postal operator of the country of first handling. This block of data could be accompanied by mail item identification, when required. The mail piece digital image in some cases can provide sufficient identification to the sender.
This block of data would be captured by the postal operator of the country of last handling and communicated as an image to the postal operator of the country of the first handling. This latter postal operator, upon receiving the image electronically together with other appropriate information (e.g., digital image of the recipient's physical signature and mail piece digitally signed by a special private key of the public key cryptographic system of the postal administration of the country of last handling) will interpret and decrypt the block using its own private key to obtain MEA (Mailer's Electronic Address), Mailroom ID and MailerID. The information MailItemID and MailerID together with confirmation information described will be forwarded to the original mailer using its electronic address MEA. The entire process is completely automated.
Other methods for protecting confidentiality of the electronic address and other information concerning original mailer (e.g., MailItemID) and MailerID) are possible as well and are within the spirit and the scope of the present invention. For example, a symmetric key system can be used for encryption, whereby a secret key can be shared between mailers and postal operators of the country of first handling, or public key transport mechanism can be used to create and share a session private key between originating mailer and postal operator. Many different ways are adequately described in Handbook of Applied Cryptography by A. Menezes, P. Van Ooorshot and S. Vanstone, CRC Press, 1997.
It should be expressly noted that the described system allows for a natural mechanism to provide address correction services. Namely, if the intended recipient of the mail item moved and a mail carrier responsible for delivery is in possession of a new address of the intended recipient, the mail carrier can key in the new address and transmit it electronically together with a confirmation form or without it to the original mailer. This and other features and variations of the present invention are entirely within its scope and spirit.
Therefore, it is now apparent that the present invention substantially overcomes the disadvantages associated with the prior art. Additional advantages of the invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. The objects and advantages of the invention may be realized and obtained by means of the instrumentalities and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of the specification, illustrate presently preferred embodiments of the invention, and together with the general description given above and the detailed description of the preferred embodiments given below, serve to explain the principles of the invention. As shown throughout the drawings, like reference numerals designate like or corresponding parts.
The present invention provides a system and method for integrating value-added services information into a mail item to provide a more economical and efficient method of providing such value-added services. Although the present invention is described below as an e-mail implementation, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that a viable alternative includes substituting a mailer's pager number so that a pager notification of mail receipt can be used along with some other receipt data. Other viable alternatives include facsimile or automated voice response notification. Furthermore, the present invention is described for a mail item that is delivered by a postal service. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention can be used with any carrier that physically delivers any item. It will be further understood that for such other carriers, the communication information that is described herein is integrated in any manner to any part of the item being physically delivered. For example, the information may be part of any machine-readable code, a bar code, DPM, or may be in plain text. It will be further understood that the system and method of the present invention apply to any mail items, including but not limited to, letters, flats, parcels, irregular parcel post, etc.

The first handling postal authority distribution network 105 includes conventional components such as: facer/canceller 110; MLOCR (multi-line optical character reader) sorters 120 that typically perform a primary sort for mail items that have not been presorted; intermediate bar-code sorters 130, postal transport means 140 for transporting the mail item from one postal facility to another; final bar code sorters 150; and delivery means 160, such as a mail carrier delivery to a mailbox. In accordance with the present invention, first handling postal authority distribution network 105 further includes a digital data capture scanner and processing computer system 170 that is optionally coupled to one or more of the aforementioned components of the first handling postal authority distribution network 105 for the purpose of maintaining information, including value-added services information, that is provided during processing.
The final handling postal authority distribution network 205 includes conventional components such as: facer/canceller 210; MLOCR (multi-line optical character reader) sorters 220 that typically perform a primary sort for mail items that have not been presorted; intermediate bar-code sorters 230; postal transport means 240 for transporting the mail item from one postal facility to another; final bar code sorters 250; and delivery means 260, such as a mail carrier delivery to a mailbox. Delivery means 260 includes a scanner 262 for scanning mark 12 at the time of delivery. In accordance with the present invention, final handling postal authority distribution network 205 further includes a digital data capture scanner and processing computer system 270 that is optionally coupled to one or more of the aforementioned components of the final handling postal authority distribution network 205 for the purpose of capturing and processing information, including value-added services information, that is read from the mark of the mail item being processed. As information is captured by digital data capture scanner and processing computer system 270, a mail item file 280 (described in detail below) is created. Final handling postal authority distribution network 205 determines the electronic address of first handling postal authority distribution network 105 from either a direct scanning of mark 12 of the mailpiece 14 or, preferably, by scanning mark 12 of mailpiece 14 for the first handling postal authority distribution network 105 identity and using database 290 for determining first handling postal authority distribution network 105 electronic address. If database 290 is implemented, changes in addresses may be made efficiently because the data table, rather than each postal authority, would require updating. Depending on the value-added services being processed, digital data capture scanner and processing computer system 270 communicates mail item file 280 through a public electronic communications network 300 to be used by the first handling postal authority's digital data capture scanner and processing computer system 170 to update mail item file 190. Communications network 300 may be any conventional communications network, such as the Internet or a cellular/conventional telephonic network, or any combination thereof depending on the type of communication information read from the mark.
Digital data capture scanner and processing computer system 170 of first handling postal authority distribution network 105 then determines the address of the original mailer using database 180 and communicates the stored mail item file 190 through use of public electronic communication network 310 to the mailers computer systems 10 or a trusted third party repository 320. The communication between mailer and the first handling postal authority is maintained confidential such that the final handling or any other postal authority is not provided access to the original mailer's electronic address.

At step 470, the process formats the mail item address and other printable information including, the origination destination country code information, digital postmark, FIM mark and electronic confirmation service marks along with [EPK [MEA,MailItemID,MailerID]] and imprints them on the mail. At step 480, the process queries as to whether or not the mail item processed was the last mail item. If the answer to the query at step 480 is "no," then the process returns to step 400. If, however, the answer to the query at step 480 is "yes," then the mail preparation process ends.
Now turning to
At step 540, the postal operator of the final handling retrieves the electronic address of the postal administrator of the first handling using the license plate information and digitally signs the received transfer file using a private key of the postal operator of the last handling. At step 550, the digitally-signed transfer file is transmitted to the postal operator of the first handling using the electronic address of the postal operator of the first handling as obtained form step 540.
Now turning to
This process in a formal notation looks as follows: DPRK [EPK [MEA, MailItemID, MailerID]]=MEA, MailItemID, MailerID, where D stands for operation of decryption, and PRK is the private key of the specially designated private-public key pair of public key cryptographic system of the postal operator of the country of first handling.
It must be expressly noted that, in some cases, it would be sufficient to forward to the original mailer only the image of the mail item together with the image of physical signature form (for the confirmation of receipt service) without MailItemID. Also in some cases, MailerID is redundant with Mailer's Electronic Address (MEA) if each mailer has only one electronic address. It should be also expressly noted that the postal operator of the last handling may digitally sign all files transmitted to the postal operator of the first handling for the purpose of protecting integrity and authenticity of data as it is usually done. Also, it may be necessary to preserve legality of proofs of electronic delivery.
Many features of the embodiments disclosed herein represent design choices selected to exploit the inventive concept as implemented in a particular mailing system environment. However, those skilled in the art will recognize that various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the inventive concept in its broader aspects is not limited to the specific details of the preferred embodiments described above, but is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

MIAMI -- Family members of a 12-year-old Florida boy who was infected by a rare and deadly amoeba say the organism that was attacking his brain is gone.
According to a Facebook page set up for Zachary Reyna, doctors told family members Wednesday morning that antibiotics defeated the infection. Although tests showed negative activity from the amoeba, the Facebook post says the boy suffered extensive brain damage.
Reyna was infected with Naegleria fowleri, a microscopic single-celled living amoeba that is commonly found in freshwater lakes, ponds and rivers. State health officials say it can cause a rare brain infection called primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) that destroys brain tissue and is usually fatal.
Family members said Reyna was infected while knee boarding with friends in a ditch near his family's southwest Florida home on Aug. 3. He is being treated at Miami Children's Hospital.

COVINGTON -- With the start of the summer boating season, state and national agencies are encouraging those who plan to be on the water to take a few minutes and think about safety.
Last year there were 135 boating accidents and 16 boating-related fatalities in Georgia, according to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.
Boaters should take time to educate themselves and plan ahead before taking to the water, said Col. Homer Bryson, chief of law enforcement for DNR. "In an effort to keep everyone safe, we encourage boat operators to stay sober and alert and know Georgia's boating laws before heading out on the water."
Boaters should remember the 100-foot law that prohibits operation at speeds greater than idle within 100 feet of any vessel, unless overtaking or meeting another vessel in compliance with the rules of the road.
About 500 people drown each year in recreational boating accidents. In 2009, drowning was the reported cause of death in almost three-fourths of all boating fatalities and 84 percent of those who drowned were not wearing life jackets.
The National Safe Boating Council says life jackets are lighter, less obtrusive and more attractive these days and new inflatable life jackets allow mobility and flexibility for activities like boating, fishing and paddling. Some inflate instantly when submerged in water and others are manually inflated.
"We want to prove that life jackets not only save lives, but that today's life jackets are comfortable, stylish and easy to wear," said John Johnson, executive director of National Association of State Boating Law Administrators. "In fact, they don't even have to be jackets anymore. The old-fashioned, bulky orange life jacket most people are used to has been replaced with innovative new options we want all boaters to know about, including the new inflatable styles."
Last year, conservation rangers made 139 boating under the influence arrests. Those who operate a boat while under the influence can face a misdemeanor punishable with up to a $1,000 fine and up to 12 months in prison. It's also a misdemeanor for endangering a child if transporting a person under age 14 while impaired.
"Operating a boat is as complicated as driving a car and a boating incident is as dangerous as an automobile accident," said Ron Fennel, chairman of TEAM Georgia, a safe and sober driving and boating coalition. Drinking impairs coordination skills, judgment and reaction time necessary to operate a boat, according to TEAM Georgia.
