When you need a "bare bones" camera rig, the Action Cam is the rig! This system is designed to give you minimal weight to maneuver on the camera end. All of the batteries, remotes, transmitters, etc. are stored in the MCS custom backpack. This is the system Shane uses when he needs the most nimble setup possible.
The Man Cam was inspired by the military. It treats the camera as if it were a machine gun and gives a very unique shooting style. This setup was developed by Shane while filming Navy SEALS during the production of Act of Valor. Like the Action Cam, the majority of camera accessory weight is moved off of the camera and into a custom backpack. Handles are configured so the camera rig can be gripped and easily supported in both hands. A preview monitor makes for easy shot composition without having to worry about an EVF against the face. The MCS ManCam was designed to be used with remote follow focus setups.
The Shoulder Cam was developed for shoulder mounted camera work. Designed around the shooting methods used on a 35mm Panavision setup, the Shoulder Cam closely mimics the feel of a true 35mm film camera.
The Studio Cam was designed for tripod shooting with an EVF. The patent pending EVF leveling system allows the camera operator to tilt the camera up and down with minimal movement on the EVF eyepiece. While not a new concept in the 35mm film world, this is the first EVF leveler designed for the DSLR and smaller form factor cameras. The EVF leveler greatly simplifies the camera operators job as it requires much less head movement than a hard mounted EVF solution.
The MCS Complete Bundle contains every part needed to build any of the four complete MCS Bundles including mattebox and follow focus. This is the ultimate collection for the Master Cinema Series and provides the broadest range of configuration options.

Dr. Katana and his team are the best in town. He is not only a great ophthamologist and surgeon, he also does great cosmetic work. I live in the valley and I don't mind driving to the city every time I need a procedure . The results are always great. He is honest and knowledgeable and most of all he takes time to explain the procedure and what you should expect after it, to the point where you feel comfortable.
I highly recommend Dr. Kagan to anyone who needs an eye surgery or a cosmetic procedure.
Thank you Dr. Kagan

I had a Lasik surgery 8 years ago performed by Dr. Kagan. My vision before was very poor and I could not see clearly from the distance. I trusted Dr. Kagan with this procedure because of his many years of experience, credentials, excellent results and his latest top equipment. I like that he updates his medical knowledge by going to conferences and seminars. Since I had this surgery my life has changed completely, I can feel like a full functional person, not depending on lenses or glasses. All these years I never experienced any issues with my eyes thanks to Dr. Kagan's help. I strongly recommend him for any of your ophthalmic needs. I am very happy with the results.

I lived all my life, seeing only one eye. My left eye was with a great degree of farsightedness, and I almost did not use them. Now I see the eye in the same way as before seen wearing glasses with very strong lens. This is a very new and unusual feeling for me, and I gradually get to it. Of course, I am satisfied with the work of Dr. Kagan-now I need not to wear glasses and I had better see! Thanks to Dr. Kagan and his staff!

It is hard for me to find enough words of praise and love for Los Angeles eye surgeon Dr. Arkady Kagan. He is a true miracle worker! All my life I was nearly blind in one eye. I could barely see an eye chart with it, much less read any lines. Numerous eye doctors in the past told me there was nothing that could be done. Yet today, just one day after eye surgery by Dr. Kagan, I can already read very fine print with that eye and still cannot believe it! Every review on the Internet gives Dr. Kagan, who was named American's top opthamologist in 2004, five stars in every department.He is thorough, caring and compassionate and goes to great lengths to explain procedures. He was nearly in tears when he saw the result of his work on my eye.He often travels long distances to professional meetings and medical conferences to keep on top of every modern technological development in eye care and also to share his knowledge with other doctors. I thank God for Dr. Arkady Kagan.

I have been a patient of Dr Kagans for several years. He has done aesthetic treatments flawlessly for me. When my husband needed cataract surgery recently, I brought him to the doctor. My husband had a very complicated situation, a result of lots of damage created by very early radial keratotomy surgeries. Dr Kagan worked with him performing surgery necessary and guided him through the difficult aftercare and post treatment that has been able to reverse all that damage. My husband is a happy camper now, with great vision.

I get my cataract surgery done with Dr. Kagan's Eye Institute (right eye by may 2009 and left eye october 2011). When I needed to correct vision, I have decided to choose the best expert in California. Has received info about Arkady Kagan, has learned about his popularity. Having listened to fine opinions, I have decided to entrust this wonderful expert. Arkady Kagan - is an excellent doctor ! Will closely listen about a problem of the patient. Quickly finds the best decision of any difficult situation. Dr. Kagan is extremely knowledgeable and highly professional with scrupulous attention to details. Clever, fair, intelligent. The staff is friendly, Dr. Kagan always makes sure that I'm comfortable, and his staff calls me a few days later to make sure that I'm happy with my results. Dr. Kagan is amazing! I would recommend everyone to go to him. I am very thankful !

Hurricanes and Global Warming – Is There a Connection?
SST is not the only influence on hurricane formation. Strong shear in atmospheric winds (that is, changes in wind strength and direction with height in the atmosphere above the surface), for example, inhibits development of the highly organized structure that is required for a hurricane to form. In the case of Atlantic hurricanes, the El Nino/Southern Oscillation tends to influence the vertical wind shear, and thus, in turn, the number of hurricanes that tend to form in a given year. Many other features of the process of hurricane development and strengthening, however, are closely linked to SST.
Hurricane forecast models (the same ones that were used to predict Katrina's path) indicate a tendency for more intense (but not overall more frequent) hurricanes when they are run for climate change scenarios (Fig. 1).
Figure 1. Model Simulation of Trend in Hurricanes (from Knutson et al, 2004)
In the particular simulation shown above, the frequency of the strongest (category 5) hurricanes roughly triples in the anthropogenic climate change scenario relative to the control. This suggests that hurricanes may indeed become more destructive (1) as tropical SSTs warm due to anthropogenic impacts.
But what about the past? What do the observations of the last century actually show? Some past studies (e.g. Goldenberg et al, 2001) assert that there is no evidence of any long-term increase in statistical measures of tropical Atlantic hurricane activity, despite the ongoing global warming. These studies, however, have focused on the frequency of all tropical storms and hurricanes (lumping the weak ones in with the strong ones) rather than a measure of changes in the intensity of the storms. As we have discussed elsewhere on this site, statistical measures that focus on trends in the strongest category storms, maximum hurricane winds, and changes in minimum central pressures, suggest a systematic increase in the intensities of those storms that form. This finding is consistent with the model simulations.
A recent study in Nature by Emanuel (2005) examined, for the first time, a statistical measure of the power dissipation associated with past hurricane activity (i.e., the "Power Dissipation Index" or "PDI"–Fig. 2). Emanuel found a close correlation between increases in this measure of hurricane activity (which is likely a better measure of the destructive potential of the storms than previously used measures) and rising tropical North Atlantic SST, consistent with basic theoretical expectations. As tropical SSTs have increased in past decades, so has the intrinsic destructive potential of hurricanes.
Figure 2. Measure of total power dissipated annually by tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic (the power dissipation index "PDI") compared to September tropical North Atlantic SST (from Emanuel, 2005)
The key question then becomes this: Why has SST increased in the tropics? Is this increase due to global warming (which is almost certainly in large part due to human impacts on climate)? Or is this increase part of a natural cycle?

A multinational consulting company specializing in industrial automation was looking for a fully integrated enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution to replace its legacy system—a patchwork of point solutions.
To find the right solution, the company turned to TEC for a software evaluation and selection project.
Starting with a list of nine qualified solutions, TEC issued requests for information (RFIs) to each of the vendors. Based on the RFI responses, the company was able to compare the nine solutions and develop a shortlist of the three most promising ones for in-depth evaluation.
TEC also helped the company collect market data, and prepare scripts for a formal demonstration session—a key component of the final selection process.

This presentation discusses the off-label use of rituximab for the treatment of indolent NHL.Presenter: H.S. Hochster
Indolent lymphomas (IL), as the name implies, have a "waxing and waning" pattern featuring multiple disease relapses over a large time period. It is not typically aggressive or fatal, and thus patients often have a long survival, but one that is characterized by periods of disease relapse and remission. The management of disease relapse typically consists of chemotherapy. The introduction of molecular targetted anticancer therapy has revolutionized the treatment of various tumors. In the case of lymphomas, the anti-CD20 agent rituximab plays a major role. The main study question here is whether induction chemotherapy and rituximab can improve the progression-free survival (PFS) compared to chemotherapy alone in patients with advanced indolent lymphoma (AIL). Of note, the authors initially intended to also compare the effects of CF (cyclophosphamide, fludarabine) vs. CVP (cyclophosphamide, vincristine, prednisone) chemotherapy on outcome. However, the CF arm was terminated secondary to unaccpetable toxicity (32 deaths vs. 8 in the CVP arm). The results reported here are for only those patients studied after discontinutaion of the CF arm.
Materials and Methods
Author's Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications
The results of this trial establish the efficacy of CVP chemotherapy in achieving complete or partial remissions or disease stabilization in patients with advanced relapsed IL. The randomization analyzed here also supports the post-chemotherapy administration of at least 2 years of maintenance rituximab therapy in those patients achieving good response to induction chemotherapy. Furthermore, this benefit of additional maintenance treatment compared to observation appears to hold even in patients with follicular histology, high tumor burdens, and minimal residual disease post-chemotherapy.
While the results presented here are very promising, it is important to remember that this trial has relatively short follow-up, and for a disease with a long natural history, does not suffice to make far reaching conclusions. The long-term effect of the maintenance therapy on relapse rates "down the road" remains to be seen with longer follow-up of these patients. A second point to bear in mind is whether it would be preferable and reasonable to reserve rituximab for time of relapse, rather than providing it as maintenance, particularly in those with a complete response to chemotherapy. The authors feel, however, that the benefit of rituximab seen even in patients with minimal residual disease supports its use as maintenance.
Future studies might evaluate the use of induction chemotherapy and rituximab rather than induction chemotherapy alone, thus providing the benefits of rituximab to the whole group. Those patients could then later be randomized to additonal, maintenance rituximab versus no further treatment, in order to truly determine if rituximab provides beneift as a preventive agent, above and beyond its use as initial therapy.

A special commission studying Maine's election system has given a firm thumbs down to the suggestion that Maine adopt voter ID. The Commission to Study the Conduct of Elections in Maine, which was appointed last May, released its findings today. Tom Porter has more.
"This is an excellent report," says Maine Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap. Dunlap gives high marks to the Commission to Study the Conduct of Elections in Maine, which was appointed last May, and came to its findings after holding eight public hearings,
"They worked very, very hard on it," Dunlap says. "And it's a reflection of some very, very honest work, based on feedback they got at their hearings."
Dunlap told members of the Legislature's Veterans and Legal Affairs Committee that the he agreed with commission's 4 to 1 vote to reject voter ID, a measure that would require voters to present identification before they cast a ballot.
It's an issue that had been kep alive by the very creation of the commission, set up by former Republican Secretary of State Charlie Summers last May.
"We certainly hope that this report lays to rest the controversies about voting rights that have taken place in Maine over the last couple of years," says Shenna Bellows, executive director of the Maine branch of the American Civil Liberties Union.
Bellows says voters rejected a proposed same-day voter registration requirement back in 2011, and have made their feelings clear. "Maine voters have expressed that they want to protect the franchise and make it easier not harder to vote."
And Bellows says the new report also lays to rest what she believes has been another myth about Maine's election system. "One of the things that the commission found in this report is that there's little or no evidence of voter fraud," she says. "Maine elections work very well."
That's a viewpoint upheld by a study just released by the Pew Charitable Trust. It examines electoral practices state-by-state, lookng at factors like polling location wait times, the online availability of voting information, the number of rejected voter registrations and the percentage of voters with registration or absentee ballot problems.
Senior Research Analyst at Pew, Sean Greene, says Maine did well. "Maine was in the top 20 percent of states in 2008, and was in the top third of states in 2010," Greene says. "The index looks at baseline of data from the 2008 and 2010 election cycles."
Maine's good performance notwithstanding, the Elections Commission does suggest improvements in the system. The report calls for expanding the practice of early voting. Not to be confused with absentee balloting, early voting allows voting in person at a polling place ahead of Election Day. There have been pilot projects allowing this, and the report says their success indicates that it should become the norm statewide. This measure - supported by Secretary Dunlap, and by civil liberties advocates, would require a constitutional amendment.
Not all the report's recommendations were well received. For example, both the secretary of state and the ALCU take issue with a proposal that would further restrict residency requirements. The ACLU's Shenna Bellows fears this could have a chilling effect.
"We have concerns that any attempts to tighten residency requirements will have the impact of discouraging young people from voting," she says.

Video: Four Arrests in Connection with Suspicious Deaths
Town of Carroll, NY - Four arrests have been made in connection with two suspicious deaths in Chautauqua County.
Gordon and Joyce Skinner were found dead in their home on Wheeler Hill Road yesterday after authorities received a report of a fire.
Davide Coggins, Ricky Knickerbocker, Steven Todd and Joshua McCormick were all arrested in Elmira last night. All are charged with two counts of second degree murder.
The sheriff says it appears a home invasion turned into a homicide. Chautuaqua County Sherriff Joseph Gerace says, "In 34 years of law enforcement, this is one of the most disturbing and troubling incidents I've had the unfortunate experience of having to deal with. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the family members and friends of the Skinners."
The sheriff says this was not a random act. Officials would not say how the suspects knew the couple that was killed.
When asked about the cause of death, the sheriff said that no firearm was used in this crime.

I am looking for a plugin where the colorize tool can be used to colorize all files that are currently opened by GIMP. I have to colorize hundreds of files certain colors and having a plugin like this would help me greatly.
Does anyone know of one that exists? I have not had any luck searching the registry here, but maybe I didn't use the correct search terms.
but can't that be accomplished by selecting what you want colored and sampling all layers?
exactly what you want to color?
Is it a selection that will be in the same location on each layer?
Will the location of the color change for each layer?
Is it just a solid color for a backdrop on each layer?
I believe at this time their is no script or plug-in that takes a selection - colors it and pastes it into every other layer.
Except possibly layer groups.
That script works with linked layers.I can not remember if there is a paste selection into each layer command.If you are trying to copy just a selection of 1 color to all other layers in the same spot i am pretty sure someone could do that in a script for you.
If you need to place a color in different locations on layers you may have some trouble finding a script that does this.
IF the image are all of the same size and you may rename them as "frames" ; adding a progressive number as prefix + same name(i.e 000001_image.png,000002_image.png )
then GAP has a command "Frame Modify" that allow to apply same command to all frames
Can't you just run the same filter (colorize), on all those images if you open them as layers, and link them all.?
Then use another filter (already created), to save them all as png images?
Try this
Open all your 90 images as layers
File/Open as layers
Now press down shift and select the area of the layer where you would normally link a layer.
You may have to do this twice to get all linked, i can't remember.
Now select the top layer select Colors/Colorize
Do your coloring - select okay to confirm the filter.
Now all the layers should run with that filter.
EDIT: nope doesn't work
I wonder though if the layer groups filter "transform layers" can be modified to do this?
That works! very nice to be able to run any filter on all layers.
Why isnt this just a separate plug-in ill never know.
Anyway you may want to put a tutorial up at Gimp chat or somewhere showing how to use the function for the modify filter in GAP.
Thanks PC that was the answer. :)
Here is a run down on how i had to do it - my first time btw so bare with me,.
First i copied all the images i wanted to redo at once into another folder.
Then i went ahead and opened all as layers
Then i renamed all with a _000001 - _000040 at the frame end name.
I used 40 images all the same size.
I went to Video/Modify Frames
Selected function - modify/colorfy
Ran the filter
All 40 colored a yellowish color (wish the colorfy filter had preview) - you may want to see if colorize is in the filter list.
I couldn't find it so i used colorfy
It worked and asked me after the first one if i wanted to continue i clicked yes continue and the filter colored all 40 the same overlay of icky yellow ... lol - (very slowly but i have only 512 mb ram) - took 3 minutes.
In that time i probably could have done all by manual - oh well may be faster for other folks.
Anyways why doesn't someone just create a filter that does this like GAP?
So easy and you can run any gimp filter on all layers at once!
excellent news but is the program you wrote available ?
If so could you post a link ?
the files back to original names would be very useful, especially in batch.
Their is a script that already saves all layers as png images to a certain directory.
Perhaps it could be updated with a feature like this?
Maybe because i have no clear what you mean for colorize tool
If is not a tool but a filter natively included in gimp then Gap should do the trick
Once you have Gap installed you may use Filter All Layers or Filter Macro
Saulgoodes combine or overlay background script - thank you Saul for your excellent advice on using this filter!
(this is only if you need a color or gradient or whatever in 1 certain location in all your layers.)
This is what i did to get it to work.
Download the script - after install you will find it in FX-Foundry/Animation/Overlay Background
Open all the images in layers you want to color
Now select the area you want to color or fill a certain way - paths tool or whatever.
Create a new layer fill or create your new color on the new layer
Delete the Background layer and make sure your new colored layer is at the bottom.
All your images you want colored should be above the new layer you just colored.
Run the overlay script
Hope that works for you!
best regards,

The handbag hierarchy is a tricky, difficult, and fickle ladder to climb. Only a tiny handful of bags have managed to grab the highest rungs and achieve classic status, and it certainly took time. (For example, the Hermes Birkin was created in the early 80's while Chanel's 2.55 first launched in February of 1955.) Magazines constantly conjure up lists of "new classics," but we often find their selections premature and standards a bit generous. After all, how many of these so-called it bags have really demonstrated a lasting demand and maintained a certain level of coolness? We'll answer for you: very few. One that weathered an early obsessive frenzy and is Still Loitering on famous arms is Balenciaga's classic motorcycle-inspired bag.
Designed by Nicolas Ghesquiere and originally launched in 2001, the satchel swept the world and is still ragingly ubiquitous nearly a decade later. If this doesn't really impress you, we'd like to offer a comparison. The other hot bag of 2001 was the Sprouse-graffiti Louis Vuitton Speedy, a collector's item to be sure, but not a bag that enjoys the same daily driver status. While we suffered from Balenciaga bag fatigue in late 2005, when you couldn't walk through a Bolthouse club without spotting at least 20 bags (some fake) in 10 seconds, recently we started feeling them again. After a quick tour through some photo archives, we realized that they never went away, hence today's story.
Kate Moss, as always, was one of the first to tote a Lariat, but we're going to give her a rest for once and start with Nicky Hilton. Seen here outside Jerry's Deli in 2004, Hilton picked a metallic Balenciaga for a double date with her sister. Sienna Miller cradled one in the crook of her elbow circa summer 2006. She's seen here, in full cashmere hippie mode, leaving her London production of "As You Like It." Lindsay Lohan's another Balenciaga devotee; she chose a white one for the 2006 opening of the store Sienna on Melrose. Last year Michelle Tractenberg carried a soft gray Balenciaga to Brett Ratner's birthday party at the Prime Grill in LA, while Mary Kate Olsen carried an oversized version into the new year.

Video: Father of new Boston bombing suspect: 'We were shocked'
(AP)--Authorities aren't alleging that they had anything to do with the Boston Marathon bombings themselves, but three friends of one of the suspects could be looking at years behind bars for what they allegedly did in the days after the bombing.
Authorities say one of the three concluded that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev might have been a bomber -- even texting him to say he looked like one of the suspects in images released by the FBI.
They say the three then removed a backpack and a laptop from the suspect's dorm room, to try to keep him out of trouble. The backpack contained fireworks that had been emptied of powder.
Meanwhile,Kazakhstan's Foreign Ministry says it is cooperating with the United States in the case of two of its citizens arrested in connection with the Boston Marathon bombing.
Dias Kadyrbayev and Azamat Tazhayakov were university friends of bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. They were charged Wednesday with attempting to destroy evidence by disposing of a backpack and laptop computer taken from his room after they found he was a suspect in the fatal bombing.
On Thursday, the Kazakh foreign ministry issued a statement saying "Both Kadyrbayev and Tazhayakov are cooperating with the investigative bodies and providing them assistance."
"As we have repeatedly stressed, Kazakhstan strongly condemns any form of terrorism. The Kazakhstan side is cooperating with the U.S. law enforcement bodies in their investigation," the ministry said.

Belfast passengers "overwhelming generosity"
Thomson Airways customers throughout the UK have once again proved their generosity, by donating just under £600,000 to charity, onboard their flights home last year. Specifically, Belfast customers have climbed close to the top of the league, donating an average of 25 pence per inbound customer, way above the Thomson Airways UK average of 11 pence and secured their place as the second most generous per passenger.
Thomson Airways Cabin Crew collect donations of any currency onboard return flights, allowing redundant foreign coins to be put to good use supporting UK charities. All money raised on board is divided between the company's national charity partners, the Family Holiday Association and Born Free, and a local charity that is chosen by the Thomson teams working at local airports.
The team and customers at Belfast International Airport support the Northern Ireland Children's Hospice, a charity that cares for children and young people with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions, and supports their families and those close to them. In 2010, customers arriving in Belfast donated a total of £13,855, with over £6500 collected for FHA, and over £3000 collected for each Born Free and the Northern Ireland Children's Hospice.
Naomi Sainty, Belfast Base Manager for Thomson Airways, said: "I am overwhelmed by the generosity of our passengers here in Belfast and also the continued commitment of the cabin crew. Without the crew's support and heartfelt emotions towards this charity we would not have achieved such fantastic results."

ORCHARD PARK, NY-- The Buffalo Bills announced Monday they have signed free agent quarterback Kevin Kolb.
Terms of the contract are not being disclosed. The veteran quarterback was introduced to the media early Monday afternoon. Following Kolb's comments the Bills brought out head coach Doug Marone to discuss the signing and the impact it might have on other moves the team makes.
Kolbhas played for the Arizona Cardinals and Philadelphia Eagles. Kolb said Monday afternoon at one Bills Drive
"Prove my ability to myself. For me, I know I can play at this level. I have done it here and there throughout my career two or three games at a time. We all know that I have to stay healthy. That is where the work comes in right now. Of course, a lot of it is a little bit of good luck. Played 50 straight in college and then come in here and get banged up every four games it seems like. That is a bit frustrating because it is out of my hands. For me that is what I am saying. It has nothing to do with being away from home. It has nothing to do with being with certain organizations or whatever. For me it was just straight, 'Hey how can I go win? How can I go be successful?' I am here to win a Super Bowl. Period. There are very limited opportunities in this league. I have been lucky enough to have a few of them. Hopefully have another one here and plan on taking 100-percent care of that and making sure I do my part to play at the highest level.
Head coach Doug Marone said adding Kolb won't change the Bills draft plans and that the Bills wanted to add a veteran quarterback to the mix after releasing Ryan Fitzpatrick last month."Obviously I have seen points where he has been very productive in his career. I just feel that him along with Tarvaris and Aaron have the ability to get the ball where we need it to go and really spread it around. The arm talent in making all of the throws. You are not limited from that standpoint. Being able to pick up the system and have knowledge of the system. To say that, each one of them we have not worked with yet and everyone will be out there at times when we are practicing and you will see it. We will try to make sure the system is fitting the strengths of those players because all of the quarterbacks we have now will be different in some type of way."
"We wanted to add some veteran experience to the quarterback position on our roster and we think we've added a good one by signing Kevin. He's a player we had targeted since he became a free agent and he should be a strong candidate in the competition for the starting quarterback position," says Bills General Manager Buddy Nix.
Kolbhas completed 449-of-755 passes for 5,206 yards with 28 touchdowns in his NFL career.

Maurice Sendak
Joyde Dopkeen/The New York Times, left; Maurice Sendak
Maurice Sendak was widely considered the most important children's book artist of the 20th century, whose works wrenched the picture book out of the safe, sanitized world of the nursery and plunged it into the dark, terrifying and hauntingly beautiful recesses of the human psyche. He died on May 8, 2012, at the age of 83.
Roundly praised, intermittently censored and occasionally eaten, Mr. Sendak's books were essential ingredients of childhood for the generation born after 1960 or thereabouts, and in turn for their children. He was known in particular for more than a dozen picture books he wrote and illustrated himself, most famously "Where the Wild Things Are," which was simultaneously genre-breaking and career-making when it was published by Harper & Row in 1963.
Among the other titles he wrote and illustrated, all from Harper & Row, are "In the Night Kitchen" (1970) and "Outside Over There" (1981), which together with "Where the Wild Things Are" form a trilogy; "The Sign on Rosie's Door" (1960); "Higglety Pigglety Pop!" (1967); and "The Nutshell Library" (1962), a boxed set of four tiny volumes comprising "Alligators All Around," "Chicken Soup With Rice," "One Was Johnny" and "Pierre."
In book after book, Mr. Sendak upended the staid, centuries-old tradition of American children's literature, in which young heroes and heroines were typically well scrubbed and even better behaved; nothing really bad ever happened for very long; and everything was tied up at the end in a neat, moralistic bow.
Mr. Sendak's characters, by contrast, are headstrong, bossy, even obnoxious. (In "Pierre," "I don't care!" is the response of the small eponymous hero to absolutely everything.) His pictures are often unsettling. His plots are fraught with rupture: children are kidnapped, parents disappear, a dog lights out from her comfortable home.
Read the full obituary here.
In 1963, a 34-year-old Mr. Sendak put together a small, handmade volume with which he had been struggling for eight years. Titled "Where the Wild Things Are," it used just 338 words and some occasionally disconcerting illustrations to tell the story of a boy named Max, who, sent to his room with no dinner, rebels by running away to a creature-infested island where he is named king of the beasts.
After a brief but exhausting adventure — "Let the wild rumpus start!" the book reads — Max returns to his bedroom, where he finds "his supper waiting for him."
That much-honored book about childhood anger is the best-known work by Mr. Sendak, who had the gift of connecting with his childhood fears and pleasures in ways that made his most screwball concoctions feel perfectly plausible and universal.
He was a sickly child of protective parents, so fears tended to dominate. He was afraid of being kidnapped like the Lindbergh baby, who was taken from his parents in 1932, when Mr. Sendak was 4. He was scared by movies, by books, by the vacuum cleaner. He was afraid of his family, the Eastern European Jewish immigrants whom he transformed into the monsters in "Where the Wild Things Are."
''I'm a typical '30s kid,'' he said in a 1988 Times interview. ''We had every disease. There was no penicillin, there were no sulfa drugs, and you almost died of any number of what now are considered trivial diseases. I have a memory of my childhood of often wondering about my mortality.''
In the Sendak world, stories unfold like dreams, where images connect emotionally and serendipitously, not by the logic imposed by grown-ups when they are awake. In much of his work, beauty and sorrow walk hand in hand.
"That's the tradition into which Sendak was born," John Cech, author of "Angels and Wild Things: The Archetypal Poetics of Maurice Sendak," and a professor of children's literature at the University of Florida in Gainesville, told The Times in a 2005 interview. "His whole life's work in some way is an attempt to understand and fathom the complexity of that heritage, with its almost unbearable legacy of loss."
Mr. Sendak's children's books have often been greeted by controversy, specifically over their suitability for children. ''Where the Wild Things Are'' was thought by some people to be too scary, and ''In the Night Kitchen'' drew complaints because of its anatomically complete drawings.
His work became more melancholy as the Holocaust began emerging as a more powerful force — sometimes overtly, sometimes less so. The work gives children the power to conquer through art and ingenuity, reminding parents of the complicated responsibility that requires them to be hopeful but realistic about the terrible wild things out there.
He has written that what interests him most ''is what children do at a particular moment in their lives where there are no rules, no laws, when emotionally they don't know what is expected of them.''
''Children make crucial decisions at that point,'' he said, ''and it happens in the wink of an eye. It's those crucial seconds when the mother and father can't watch. This was so absolutely, beautifully, rendered for me when I was very young and I saw 'The Wizard of Oz.' There's a scene that I think was a little bit St. Paul-on-the-road-to-Damascus for me. It was near the end of the movie, when Dorothy is imprisoned in the room with the Wicked Witch, and the witch takes the hourglass and turns it over and says: You see that? That's how much longer you've got to be alive.
''And Dorothy says, I'm frightened, I'm frightened, and then the crystal ball shows Auntie Em, and Auntie Em is saying, Dorothy, Dorothy, where are you? and Dorothy hovers over it and says: I'm here in Oz, Auntie Em. I'm locked up in the witch's castle. Don't go away, I'm frightened. And I remember that when my sister took me I burst into tears. I knew just what it meant, which was that a mother and child can be in the same room and want to help each other, and they cannot. Even though they were face to face, the crystal ball separated them. Something separates people now and then. And I think it's that moment that interests me, and compels me.''

Hair Loss
Hair Loss Overview
The loss of hair (alopecia) is a natural phenomenon in all hair-baring animals that normally occurs during the hair growth cycle. It is estimated that most individuals (assuming they have a full head of hair) lose about 100 scalp hairs over a 24-hour period. Hair loss can become a cosmetic problem when it occurs in the wrong place at the wrong time in the wrong individual. True hair loss should be distinguished from damage to the hair shaft, which may cause breakage close to the scalp. This sort of damage is often caused by exogenous chemicals used to alter the physical characteristics of the hair shaft (hair dye, etc.) or other forms of self-manipulation, but certain genetic diseases can alter its strength and durability.
Physicians divide cosmetically significant hair loss into two categories.
There are three cycles of hair growth: growing (80% of follicles), resting, and shedding. In human hair, each follicle cycles at its own individual rate as opposed to most animals, where these cycles change with the season, and all hairs are in the same part of the cycle at the same time. This is why animals grow a thicker coat in the fall and shed most in the spring and why human beings do not shed. Unlike most animals, in humans, each hair has its own pattern of growing, resting, and shedding.

BEIJING (Caixin Online) — Recent figures show that the amount of toxic assets at commercial banks remained relatively low, but regulators are concerned that the real conditions of the credit business might be worse than the data suggests.
By the end of September, the amount of outstanding non-performing loans (NPLs) at all commercial banks in the country increased by 63 billion yuan ($10.11 billion) from nine months ago, reaching 0.97% of all outstanding loans, up from the 0.9% at the end of June, the China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC) said.
Of all 16 banks that have released the third-quarter results, only Industrial and Commercial Bank of China IDCBY, -0.62% 1398, -1.39% 601398, -1.33% and Agricultural Bank of China 1288, -1.56% 601288, -0.63% managed to reduce both the value and the ratio of NPLs from the previous quarter's levels. The figures at nine other banks all increased compared with three months earlier.

Even though the ratios are still below many economists' cautious estimate of 2%, the banking regulator is apparently worried as it examines factors that reflect loan quality from other perspectives.
Above all others, banks are given considerable leeway in determining whether a loan is toxic or not. Classifying a loan as one notch above NPL status, referred to as "special mention," allows banks to suppress the level of bad loans and avoid drawing extra reserves for potential loss.
This was probably a tactic banks were using. Several CBRC officials who oversee banks' loan classifications say that the amount of special-mention loans is high, and up to 10% of loans in that group had been miscategorized.
Understating the risk seemed to have only delayed the onset of problems.
From July to September, 3.75% of special mention loans were downgraded to NPLs, data from banks' quarterly report shows. In monetary terms, the change was a 65% increase from the same period of one year earlier.
Loans tied to local government financing platforms and property developers were a particular cause for concern, a senior CBRC official said in a recent regulatory meeting.
Some banks masked the default risk of these loans by manipulating their classifications, extending debt rollovers and lending in the form of wealth management products, he said.
By the end of June, the latest figure available shows that the amount of special-mention loans to the property sector was 208 billion yuan USDCNY, +0.2104% up 15.2% year on year.
Many banks also face significant risk from exposure to local government debts, the official said, because banks that underwrote bonds issued by platform companies usually hold a large amount of the bonds, which makes the bank vulnerable still to local governments' liquidity strains.
Why an overhaul is needed in China's state banks
Beijing is taking steps to dismantle the country's rigid banking system. The WSJ's Lingling Wei explains how banks can rebalance the Chinese economy away from bank-fueled investment and toward private businesses and consumption.
In some cases, some platform companies had defaulted on their loans and there were signs of possible contagion to other enterprises, but banks moved too slowly to take precautions, he said.
Scraping by
About half of all defaulters were small and family businesses, CBRC data shows. Many steel manufacturers have also stopped making payments.

HOPKINTON When the Town Council meets next month, it will hold a public hearing on a law that will allow it to accept the bid it perceives as the best value rather than automatically being forced to take the bid that is the for lowest dollar amount.
This will allow us to accept the best bid, even if it isnt the lowest, she said. Maybe a bid is a couple hundred dollars more, but the maintenance costs would be a lot lower, town Clerk Vickie French said.
Highway Superintendent Ronald Streeter gave the example of receiving bids from multiple equipment dealers. A bid could come from a Gouverneur dealership and be a bit higher than bids coming from Syracuse or Burlington, Vt., but since the dealer in Gouverneur is closer, unless there is a dramatic price difference, that bid would likely be the best value.
According to the proposal to be voted on following the public hearing, The town of Hopkinton hereby determines that it is in the best interest of the town and its residents for the town board to have the authority to award purchase contracts on the basis of best value.
Section two of the law notes that the determination of best value is to be decided by the town board.
The election to award any such contract on the basis of best value shall be made by the town board, which authorizes the solicitation for bids therefore.
The hearing will be held at 6:30 p.m. July 15 at the Hopkinton municipal building.

The grand cross
Clare: A grand cross is another aspect pattern that is created from squares and oppositions, and this configuration consists of two oppositions at right angles to one another. The oppositions are related to each other by squares, making this a closed aspect pattern that is particularly dynamic, self-motivated, and fiercely self-sufficient. People with a grand cross are very driven, and do not tend to rely on anyone other than themselves. It is a very resourceful and willful pattern, and people with this configuration often relate to the world as if it was a series of challenges and obstacles demanding to be conquered, which can lead to remarkable achievements.
Mary: I have a cardinal grand cross in my chart, with Chiron and Mercury in Capricorn in the 10th house opposite Uranus in Cancer in the 4th house, and Jupiter in Aries in the 1st house opposite Saturn in Libra in the 7th house.
Chart data omitted for reasons of confidentiality
Clare: Before we look at this in more detail, let's just think about a story in which Chiron, Mercury, Uranus, Jupiter and Saturn all have a part to play. Does anything come to mind?
Audience: Jupiter and Saturn are the social planets, so that is about opportunities and restrictions, the tension between expansion and contraction. And Chiron and Uranus are outsiders, so there might be a theme about doing the right thing and gaining acceptance in the eyes of the world, and doing your own thing, regardless of what other people think. And Mercury is the mind, trying to make sense of all this, to mediate and bring all these things together.
Clare: That's excellent, and I think it helps us to start understanding the tensions and possibilities in this combination, in the most general sense. Now let's consider the houses in which this drama will occur. We have the 10th, 4th, 1st and 7th houses here.
Audience: The 10th and 4th houses are about family and the world, public life and private life. The 1st house is about fulfilling your personal goals, and the 7th house is about sharing.
Clare: So we are already getting a general sense of the story. Focusing in on more detail now, we could consider the Jupiter-Saturn opposition across the 1st and 7th houses in Aries and Libra. What kind of story do we have here?
Audience: Jupiter and Saturn are the principles of expansion and contraction, so Mary will feel caught between these two things. Perhaps her personal goals seem to be incompatible with her responsibilities and duties to her partner.
Clare: That's right. And because Saturn is in the normally
projected 7th house, Mary is likely to feel that her partner restricts
her or criticises her whenever she tries to do her own thing. In actual
fact, this is an inner conflict that is difficult to resolve. How can Mary
be free to follow her own path and direction and yet at the same time be
a dutiful and responsible partner or spouse?
Mary: I would love to know the answer to that. My husband always comes up with loads of very sensible reasons why I can't do what I want to do, and it drives me crazy. Sometimes I feel that the only solution is to leave the marriage, but we have worked hard at it and, apart from the frustration, he is a good provider and a responsible father.
Clare: I think we can all understand how paralysed this opposition makes you feel. I suspect that you find yourself oscillating between these two positions. With Saturn in Libra in the 7th house, you will be aware that a successful marriage demands hard work and commitment. But it also feels constricting and limiting from a personal point of view. Jupiter in Aries in the 1st house is independent and goal-oriented. With Uranus squaring both Jupiter and Saturn from the 4th house, it is not surprising that, when the tension of the opposition gets too much, you have a strong urge to escape altogether by leaving the marriage and your home. The Jupiter-Uranus square needs space and freedom, and the Saturn-Uranus square indicates a struggle between staying the distance in your marriage, and escaping from its confines. But let's have a look now at the Mercury-Chiron conjunction in Capricorn opposite Uranus in Cancer across the 10th and 4th houses. What does everyone think this is about?
Audience: This describes the parental relationship, doesn't it? Mercury in Capricorn in the 10th house indicates that Mary has conventional and traditional ideas, particularly about being a responsible member of society. But at the same time, there is something very unconventional about her, because the Chiron-Mercury conjunction means that she thinks differently from other people, and she probably finds it hard to be understood. The Mercury-Uranus opposition describes an unusual mind, with sudden flashes of insight, and the Chiron-Uranus opposition is the mark of the outsider.
Clare: Yes, we have a theme here that indicates that Mary both believes and doesn't believe in traditional values and roles. This is supported by the fact that Uranus is in the 4th house. This is likely to be a reflection of the tension between her parents, and it may well be that, in her own marriage, she has found herself repeating the parental pattern, since the grand cross involves both the relationship houses and the parental houses. In this case, the ruler of the MC is Jupiter in the 1st house in Aries, so it looks as if Mary's mother was a free-thinking and independent woman who never really felt comfortable in her role as wife and mother. And with Uranus in the 4th house and Mercury, which rules the IC, in the 10th house, perhaps her father was also unconventional in some way. However, with Jupiter opposite Saturn and Mercury square Saturn in the 7th house, perhaps Mary's parents felt judged or constrained or limited in some way. And because this is in your chart, you have inherited a story that they have been unable to resolve in their own lives.
Mary: This is rather alarming, because I can now see how closely I am repeating the family pattern. In my childhood I was always embarrassed by my parents, because they were never like everyone else's parents - they thought differently and didn't follow the rules. My father was a university lecturer who taught politics, but he was also an activist and lost his job in the sixties when I was still very young. This caused real hardship and disruption in the family. I have spent most of my marriage trying to conform to everyone else's expectations, and it has just made me miserable and frustrated.
Clare: Now that we can see the whole picture, perhaps this makes it easier for you to appreciate that this cardinal grand cross represents a dynamic and potentially extremely creative inner challenge, rather than just a problem that can be projected onto your husband or onto your marriage, or solved by leaving the marriage. I think it is clear from this grand cross that you need to find more space in your life to develop your own ideas and direction, and there is no reason why this cannot be achieved within your marriage. Jupiter in Aries in the 1st house is your ruling planet, so this is about developing personal courage and self-belief. And the Mercury-Chiron conjunction square Saturn encourages you to develop your own ideas, whether or not they are judged or misunderstood by others.
Mary: Thank you for all this food for thought, which is really helpful. As I get older, I am beginning to admire my father for his courage and convictions, although they made me deeply embarrassed when I was younger. I used to be a teacher myself, but I left the profession because of all the government interference in education. In fact, I think that coming to this astrology class is a significant first step for me. Although my husband can't understand my interest in astrology and thinks it is a waste of time and money, I have told him that it is very important to me, and he is beginning to accept that this is what I now do on Wednesday evenings.

I'm trying to install PHP on our public Web Server (Windows Server 2008 32-bit). I was told by a friend to make sure I do a manual install because running the Web Installer will mess up IIS, which is what I'm trying to avoid.
To start, I thought I would attempt doing this on our development server, which is running 2008 R2 64-bit. Even though I was told Microsoft Web Platform would work on this machine, I wanted to do it manually to simulate what I would need to do on the public server.
I found PHP's official documentation (http://php.net/manual/en/install.windows.iis7.php) and followed each step: Unpacked the PHP files to C:\php and configured php.ini. But when I go to test if PHP works from the command prompt, I type in "php -info" and get "Could not open input file: o".
So I figured that I had missed something, deleted my edited php.ini file and extracted a fresh copy, but I'm still getting the same error.
I tried Googling the error, but found little help. I'm hoping someone might have some advice?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome Day at the College of Eastern Utah is exciting and sometimes hectic.
Students spend a lot of the day solidifying their schedules, getting things in order and planning for fall semester.
There are a lot of things to take care of. Buying books is a big part of the day, while the student government sponsors various events to welcome new and returning students to campus.
Staff and faculty are also busy getting ready for the new school year.
Student workers who labor across campus to make money while they attend school often get some training in their new jobs on Welcome Day as well.
It's an exciting time and for many a once in a lifetime experience as they begin their college life.

POTSDAM The recently established Orthodox Christian Mission of Potsdam, the only Orthodox Christian mission in the area, has a special guest this weekend.
Bishop Michael Dahulich of the Diocese of New York and New Jersey is spending the weekend in the north country to visit the mission of about 40 to 50 people established in February 2012.
When I was in school I studied all these places, but Ive never seen them before now, Bishop Dahulich said. Its my first visit and Im excited.
A public vespers, or evening prayer service, at 6:30 Saturday was followed by a lecture about the ancient Eastern Orthodox Christian approach to salvation at 7:30. He will also lead the liturgy today at a private chapel.
Im here to meet the people and pray with them, he said.
Jessica R. Suchy-Pilalis has been a member of the mission since it began. She organizes meeting times for the congregation and contributed to organizing the bishops visit.
To have a bishop come is very important because hes coming all the way from New York City, so this is a major, major event for us, said Ms. Suchy-Pilalis. Right now were just a little mission, but we have to figure out how to grow and stabilize.
Ms. Suchy-Pilalis said the mission began following a meeting in the summer of 2011 when a few Orthodox Christians sent word out and gathered in her living room.
Since then, the mission received a blessing from Bishop Dahulich to have a priest from Canada, Father David Edwards of the Monastery of St. Silouan the Athonite, run their services.
Ms. Suchy-Pilalis said the mission meets on the first and third Sundays of the month for liturgy either at the Knowles Conference Center at SUNY Potsdam or in the new addition of her home.
Father Edwards crosses the border for the services, and on the second and fourth Sundays of the month, the congregation crosses the Ogdensburg International Bridge to attend service at his monastery.
Its really amazing that a group of people would travel across the border to go to services, Bishop Dahulich said. Im looking forward to meeting people with so much dedication and zeal.
Ms. Suchy-Pilalis said besides this mission, the nearest Orthodox Christian church is the Greek Orthodox Church in Watertown.
Although still unnamed, Ms. Suchy-Pilalis said the church has grown in numbers and dedication.
Ms. Suchy-Pilalis recently renovated her Potsdam home, putting on an addition for a worship space for the mission.
I put the largest addition to my house I could by code, she said. So the back part of my house is a full chapel. Its our temporary solution.
Ms. Suchy-Pilalis said that although SUNY Potsdam allows them to use the Knowles Center for some of their regular services, it is not an ideal space for an Orthodox service because they light candles and use incense.
Its very different to worship as an Orthodox Christian, so we cant very well drop into other churches and necessarily feel the same thing, she said. The way we worship and express things musically, liturgically and sacramentally is very ancient and its important to us to worship in that way.
