if you have the older dvd, then it's probably Spielberg's hybrid cut, which is pretty close to the original cut with some of the special edition scenes spliced in (minus the "inside the ship" scene).
iirc before the movie was on dvd the only version available for many years was the special edition.

and it made the same stupid mistake that Super 8 made in its shonky ending. I DON'T WANT TO SEE INSIDE THE SHIP if you don't know how to end the bloody movie. That's not an exciting thing that needs to happen if the story's pretty much over with. It's like, "uh guys we've still got 20 minutes of movie left to fill in, whaddya wanna do? I dunno. Show em inside the ship maybe?" So dumb.
I don't quite get this...? Super 8 never showed us the inside of the ship (since SPOILER! SPOILER! it literally ended with the ship being put together and flying away). The alien itself was only properly shown in the finale though, but that was necessary to establish the connection between it and the kid (since SPOILER! the big theme in the movie was forgiveness, and the connection between helped the alien to forgive the human race and move on), because in the end Super 8 wasn't a horror movie but an E.T. variation. I agree with your point in general, but I don't see how Super 8 is an example.

the most unrealistic part of this movie is that MacReady would waste both good liquor and his only friend/source of entertainment in the opening. although maybe he has a huge stockpile of booze and back-up Chess Wizard computers in his shack, wouldn't put it past him.

childs is such a fascinating and singular character. definitely holding the place of the "#2" in the film and meant to be on par w/macready in strength and conviction and technically an ally in the "action film" sense but also spending much of the film diametrically opposed to macready and his theories. i recognize this stems from the crushing paranoia of the film but in probably most other hands childs would be macready's bff and would stand fast with him every step of the way, and also he'd probably die 2/3rds of the way in.

did the 'stoned/ hippie-ish/ paranoid-conspiracy guy with messy hair invariably wearing denim and maybe headphones' stereotype begin with this film? seems that character is in loads of sci-fi films after; notably The Abyss, Minority Report, the Solaris remake etc. is there a word for this 'type'? there should be. they all have shades of Oddball from Kelly's Heroes i suppose.

Students collected money as part of their 'Eagles Step Up' program and used the $323 raised to go on a shopping spree for needy children in our area.
They brought the gifts to Wesley House Friday.

i just tried to compile latest CRAY branch with updated third party packages by changing various files here and there. got about halfway there and gave up eventually.
some of the third party software is several versions old, and could be considered obsolete or dangerous depending on the reasons for patch releases. i know that stability is king rather than always running the latest and greatest, but what is the zimbra policy for updating third party versions? some of the version numbers are buried pretty deep in the build process, despite the existence of generic symlinks. is zimbra interested in patches to try and remove the version specific code, or in updated versions?

Even the current user's primary Zimbra email address would be sufficient for my purpose. I just need a value to securely identify the originating Zimbra account during a web service request.
Thanks for any guidance,

Firstly, I am trying to setup zimbra using two machines. One will handle the spam/virus filter then deliver the filtered mail to another zimbra machine running the mailbox and ldap services. I noticed that on the spam filter machine, the amavisd.conf.in file contains
hostname => '@@zimbra_server_hostname@@',
which I had to change it to the line below in order to get the filter machine to use the ldap server running on the mailbox machine for amavisd.
hostname => '@@ldap_host@@',
When I installed zimbra on the filter machine, I told it to not setup ldap service and gave it the address of the second server as the ldap host. Apparently, that change was not applied to the amavisd.conf.in file. So I am wondering if I did something wrong or this might be a bug in zimbra installation script.
Secondly, how do I set up the filter machine to deliver processed messages to the zimbra server containing the mail stores?

Lake Buena Vista, FL (Sports Network) - Freddie Freeman and Andrelton Simmons
each belted two home runs to pace a 21-hit outburst for the Atlanta Braves in
Wednesday's 18-9 Grapefruit League victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Freeman had a pair of two-run shots as part of a 4-for-4 day at the plate,
while Simmons also collected four RBI and finished 3-for-4 with three runs
scored. Jordan Parraz put the final touches on Atlanta's offensive eruption by
smacking a pinch-hit three-run homer in the bottom of the seventh.
Dan Uggla, Jason Heyward and Chris Johnson all had two hits for the Braves,
with Uggla scoring three times in the rout.
Pittsburgh pounded out 16 hits as a team in defeat, with Andrew McCutchen
going 2-for-4 and delivering a two-run homer off Atlanta starter Mike Minor.
Mike McKenry knocked in three runs for the Pirates, who also received a two-
RBI single from Alex Presley.
Minor lasted just four innings, surrendering five runs on 10 hits while
striking out five.
Pittsburgh starter Kyle McPherson, meanwhile, was tagged for nine runs (eight
earned) on 10 hits over the first 4 2/3 frames, with Vin Mazzaro permitting
six runs and eight hits in only one inning of relief.

(Submission #35)
Epistemology the study of knowledge and knowing is of central concern to information science. Jesse Shera, who coined the term social epistemology with Margaret Egan, suggested that information science is intimately connected to the production, flow, integration and consumption of all forms of communicated thought throughout the entire social fabric (1970: 86). Aiding people in the acquisition of knowledge thus becomes the sine qua non of information services and technologies. As social computing and advances in information and communications technologies (ICTs) change the way we seek and use information personally and professionally, it becomes critical that information scientists understand how social processes influence knowledge acquisition. This panel explores empirically and theoretically how people seek and construct knowledge in a social world.
The literature of information seeking has tread lightly in the area of epistemology, in spite of the obvious connections between epistemic practices, individually and socially, and information behavior. This panel seeks to partially remedy this oversight by (1) presenting empirical work relating epistemology to information behavior, and (2) engaging audience members in discussion of the pragmatic and philosophical implications of epistemic research in information science. This panels discussion of epistemologies will range from the psychological to the social, including everyday life, academic and work contexts, and institutional/governmental information seeking and use. In presenting the findings of their work, the panelists will encourage discussion of how epistemologies influence how we define information seeking, the relationship between information and knowledge, methodological approaches to exploring these processes, and the relationship between theory and practice in information science.

BELLEVILLE, Ill. (AP) - A Roman Catholic priest whose decades-old molestation of a former altar boy led to a $6.3 million payout in an Illinois lawsuit has been kicked out of the priesthood by Pope Benedict XVI.
Diocese of Belleville Bishop Edward Braxton announced the move involving 78-year-old Raymond Kownacki in a statement published in a recent edition of the diocesan newspaper, The Messenger. Braxton says the papal decree calls the defrocking "for the good of the church."
Kownacki is living in a St. Louis-area nursing home and has refused media requests for interviews. He has not been charged criminally.
Kownacki's misdeeds resulted in a $5 million jury award against the diocese to James Wisniewski in 2008. That payout grew to $6.3 million to reflect interest that accrued while the diocese appealed.
(Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.)
Below is the official statement of the Diocese of Belleville, courtesy of their newspaper, "The Messenger":
The Diocese of Belleville has received a Decree from His Excellency, The Most Reverend Gerald Louis Muller, Prefect of Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith concerning Mr. Raymond F. Kownacki, formerly a priest of the Diocese. The Decree states that the Supreme Pontiff, His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI, having received a report from said Congregation has granted a petition for a dispensation from sacred celibacy and from all the obligations attached to sacred ordination to Mr. Kownacki. This means that Mr. Kownacki is no longer a member of the clerical state and has been dispensed "prop bono Ecclesiae" for the good of the Church. The dispensation took effect on January 11, 2013 when Mr. Kownacki's petition for laicization are well known.
At the urging of His Excellency, The Most Reverend Edward K. Braxton, Bishop of Belleville, Mr. Kownacki petitioned the Roman Pontiff for the dispensation. The Bishop submitted the petition along with his personal votum of approval to the Congregation and recently received a response. With the decision from the Holy See, Mr. Kowanacki's name will no longer appear in our Diocesan Directory, and he is no longer referred to as "a Priest" or address as "Reverend" or "Father."
The Bishop asks everyone to join him in continuing to pray for all those who have been sexually abused as minors. Pray for Mr. Kowanacki as well. The Bishop asks that you pray for their emotional and spiritual healing and for their peace of mind.

Mr. Chairman, thank you for holding this important and timely hearing on U.S. Policy Towards the OSCE. As our nation engages in the war against terror, it is vital that we use all avenues at our disposal to address the very real threat facing our nation, the nations of Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America. In addition, it is vital that our nation builds and strengthens the relationships we have with friends and allies around the world.
In order to focus on terrorism, and other important concerns facing our world today, such as trafficking in persons and religious and ethnic discrimination and persecution, the U.S. government needs to be deeply involved in the various fora of which we are a party. Unfortunately, the US government has not been as involved or present as it could be – in the end that damages our relationships with other nations. Over the last several decades, the Organization on Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) has played an important role in providing stability in volatile situations as well as additional opportunities for diplomacy and the exploration of creative resolutions to pressing issues. I have attended the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly the past several years and have been impressed with the level of participation from OSCE participating nations – however, the US presence tends to be less than it could be – it has only been as strong as it has due to the leadership of Chairman Chris Smith. Thank you, Mr. Chairman for your very able, and strong leadership at the various OSCE meetings.
I would like to take this opportunity to urge the Administration to engage even more fully in the OSCE and with OSCE participating states and partners. Yesterday's Washington Post article and other media outlets' reports reflect President Putin's new plans to deprive the Russian people of their freedoms. The U.S. and other nations need to engage with the Russians NOW. As they tragically did in Russia last week, extremists are attempting to disrupt and dominate politics throughout the world. While our response must be firm, it must also be just. We cannot afford to compromise human rights for the sake of security, or we play into the hands of the terrorist. OSCE nations must not let the extremists and terrorists win.
Unfortunately, as governments crack down on terrorism, there are many peaceful religious believers and citizens who are arrested by officials. Now, more than ever, we must work to ensure that fundamental human rights are protected. Now is the time to help national lawyers, journalists, religious leaders, and others who seek to promote democracy and freedom in their nations. We must support courageous leaders who stand for freedom in the midst of fierce opposition from secret security forces and official government pressure. Now is the time for us to strengthen and build relationships with other nations, to work together to bring safety, security and peace to our world.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I look forward to hearing from our distinguished witnesses.

The Voice Season 3 Live Show Recap: A Perfect 10
Last week, America finally got the power and now The Voice contestants are only as good as their last performance.
But, just in case, we forgot what the show was really about, tonight's episode gave us some power of its own, in the form of new guest mentors (including reality-show-to-riches songstress, Jennifer Hudson) and knockout performances from the Top 10.
Complete with a new 'do, Christina Aguilera and Blake Shelton kicked off tonight's live shows, reminding America and their mentees how it's done. But enough of these old pros, it's time for that new talent!
So let's get to it!
Sylvia Yacoub
Giving us a bit of a throwback, coach Christina Aguilera enlisted the help of Ron Fair — the man who helped her get her start — to give a few tips to her teammates. First up, Sylvia Yacoub singing Alicia Keys' "Girl On Fire." Going from being a pre law student to The Voice was still a bit surreal for the young powerhouse, but after shaking a few rehearsal nerves, she hit the stage ready to burn.
Though she started soft on the piano, Sylvia quickly shed that low-key look and worked it, showing a new confidence that was refreshing and proved that she's got star power.
Coach Adam Levine said he was "blown away' and Blake agreed, telling America that we would have a hard time forgetting this show opener.
Terry McDermott
Terry McDermott, the Scottish rocker who's quickly become a frontrunner, was up at bat next. Getting some advice from coach Blake Shelton and country music producer Scott Hendricks, Terry lit it up with Bryan Adams' "Summer of '69." Terry's got some great pipes of course, but his greatest asset is his shrewd choice of songs. He knows his wheelhouse inside and out and performs each tune flawlessly. (And on his tiptoes no less, as coach Christina fondly pointed out.)
The performance made a fan out of Cee Lo Green and a frenemy out of Adam Levine, who's apparently still smarting from not getting a chance to work with him.
Coach Blake was just happy that Terry made him look good, which frankly isn't hard.
Melanie Martinez
Letting her hair down this week was the youngest contestant in the game, Melanie Martinez. Tasked with "Seven Nation Army" by The White Stripes, Melanie got some much-needed advice from coach Adam in rehearsals-step up or ship out. Not to say that she hasn't already shown us her stuff, but in order to move forward, she would have to amp up her quiet smoky voice.
And amp up she did. As Melanie, armed with her guitar once again, hit those energetic yet haunting notes with a vengeance, all behind a background slideshow of her own photography we had to ask: what can't this girl do??
Christina thought that she was trying to push herself, but didn't quite make it, but Cee Lo, dusting off his '90s vocab, thought it was "uber cool."
Cody Belew
Cody Belew, our dear Arkansas pig farmer with the personality of a Hollywood superstar, brought it to the stage next. Coach Cee Lo knocked it out of the park this week with his guest mentor, Jennifer Hudson. Side note: girlfriend has never looked better. J Hud was just in awe of Cody's sassy edge, and honestly, once he hit the stage, so were we.
First of all, this kid was wearing a dominatrix-meets-goth-rock get up that just set the fun, slightly manic tone of his version of Beyonce's "Crazy In Love." And while we love the divaesque tribute to the Queen Bey, we got to admit, his actual singing didn't quite live up to the hype. But then again, when we saw that last minute booty shaking "bam bam" breakdown of his, we couldn't even hate.
And neither could the coaches. Christina gave snaps for a fellow diva, Adam was just tickled pink, and Blake, as expected, was just confused.
Bryan Keith
Dialing it down a bit, the always polished Bryan Keith took it in a new direction with his take on Billy Joel's "New York State Of Mind." Dedicating the song to the Hurricane Sandy ravaged East Coast, the song was a soulful, if slightly somber, rendition that had us swaying.
We love this dude's voice and can't get enough of that fedora (and neither can he, apparently). His easy going laid back attitude is such a departure from the flashy and flamboyant performances of the others, and as a much needed break from the theatrics, it gives us a reminder of what this show is actually about.
Coach Adam thought he "kicked its booty" and frankly no other commentary is necessary after a remark like that..
Amanda Brown
Coming off of an "only okay" performance last time, Amanda Brown wanted to blow it out of the water tonight. Singing "Stars' by Grace Potter and The Nocturnals, it looked like our old Amanda was back. Stripping it down to just a couple guitars, she let her voice do the talking. And what a voice she has.
Every note out of her mouth was just gorgeous, and it was clear that she was simply more comfortable this week, ending on a tender high that made her (and us) a little weepy.
A "very emotional" performance, as Christina said, it really resonated with the coaches, and as coach Adam said, "we did a good job."
Nicholas David
Rocking that crazy cool vibe that we've come to love, Nicholas David was up next. Mentor Jennifer Hudson got chills just from his rehearsal, so it was no surprise that his live performance of Bill Withers' "Lean On Me" had that signature "hey now!" swag that had us all rocking from side to side.
Holy Buckets Nicholas — what a show! The audience was on their feet, and the coaches were grooving too. Calling him "legendary chicken soup" for the soul and a "voice of the generation," they were all picking up what Nicholas was putting down and if that standing ovation was any indication, so was America.
Trevin Hunte
The sweetest kid with an even sweeter voice, Trevin Hunte, wanted to take a risk this week and showcase a younger side to his already soulful self. Singing Usher's "Scream" was a huge departure from regular ballad repertoire, but Trevin was surprisingly confident in the choice.
Hearing his experienced voice has made us forget that he's actually just an 18-year-old kid, but this week he reminded us, giving us a fun, but still powerful performance of the Top 40 hit.
This wasn't our fave performance, but like Adam said he could "sing the phonebook" and kill it, so kudos for going out on a ledge with this one, Trevin.
Cassadee Pope
Pulling from her own experiences and her coach's personal tragedy, Cassadee Pope took it to a new level this week with Blake Shelton's "Over You" — a song the country star and his wife Miranda Lambert wrote for his late brother.
Cassadee has had a problem showing us a her genuine self, but this week, she managed to do just that. Singing right to an obviously emotional Blake, Cassadee hit a homerun with this one. We knew she could sing, but with that added gravitas behind the song, she gave it that push to a new level that absolutely floored us all.
Adam called it her best performance, and Blake said that he made him feel like "he was hearing it for the first time," which coming from the songwriter himself, was the biggest compliment she could have gotten.
Dez Duron
Closing out the night was the resident heartthrob, Dez Duron. Singing MIchael Buble's "Feeling Good," our dear Dez was on his game tonight.
And he was right about one thing, It's a new dawn, a new day — the Dez days, to be specific. I mean, what else can we say? Rocking that white tuxedo jacket and a smile that could melt butter, the always adorable Dez showed us that he was more than just a pretty face, delivering a solid and super sexy performance.
And just like coach Christina said, we were sure feeling good after that one.
And on that hot and high note, we end tonight's live performances! What did you think of tonight? Who will you be voting for? Tell us below!

Drs. Jonathan Hammond and Detlef Wencker
Hartford Hospital has created one of the state's most comprehensive programs for managing congestive heart failure.
Hartford Hospital offers a range of options from outpatient
care in our infusion center to the use of ventricular assist device
technology and heart transplantation.
What sets Hartford Hospital's Heart Failure Rescue Program apart is its designation as a Ventricular Assist Device (VAD) Destination Therapy Center.
VADs have been used for many years to sustain patients who are candidates for heart transplant as they await a donor heart. With the development of lighter, more dependable VADS, it has become possible to consider the use of these devices not only as a "bridge to transplant," but as a stand-alone therapy for those with hearts too weak to function properly. Emerging research from Europe is beginning to suggest what was once thought impossible: Some VAD patients find that their hearts actually improve with help from these mechanical pumps.
As one of only two heart transplant centers in the state -- and and the birthplace of successful heart transplantation in Connecticut nearly 25 years ago -- Hartford Hospital is well-experienced in the use of VADs for potential transplant patients. This, despite the fact that average waiting times for donor hearts at Hartford Hospital are much shorter than the national average. Click here for more information about this program.
In addition to cutting-edge VAD options, Hartford Hospital's new infusion center is changing the way today's patients live with heart disease. This state-of-the-art outpatient treatment facility is dedicated to caring for patients at the advanced stage of heart failure. Intravenous administration of medications rapidly improves symptoms and restores normal fluid status.
One-on-one nutritional counseling also is available in the program This helps patients adhere to a complex medical regimen and a specialized low-sodium (salt) diet, while learning to recognize weight gain that signals fluid retention. Cardiac rehabilitation and individualized exercise plans strengthen the heart muscle to improve circulation and support the recovery process.
In the United States, 550,000 new cases of CHF are diagnosed each year. The condition usually develops gradually as the result of a heart attack, uncontrolled high blood pressure, heart defect or viral infection.
During a heart attack, a sudden clot blocks a coronary artery, sometimes damaging the oxygen-starved heart muscle permanently. When the heart can't pump forcefully enough, blood flow drops as the heart struggles to supply oxygen and nutrients to the brain and vital organs. The chambers of the heart stretch to hold more blood, but over time, the heart muscle walls weaken and pumping slows. The kidneys respond by causing the body to retain water and sodium. Blood backs up into the veins leading to the heart, excess fluid pools in the lower legs and ankles, and the belly becomes swollen and congested. Fluid fills the lungs, causing shortness of breath, especially when lying down.
When so much fluid accumulates that diuretics (water pills) no longer work, the usual treatment is hospitalization for intravenous (IV) administration of medications. In hospitals across the country, congestive heart failure is the leading cause of hospitalization for patients age 65 and over.
Detlef Wencker, MD "Repeated hospitalizations are a medical and financial burden," says Detlef Wencker, M.D., who recently joined the Henry Low Heart Center as director of the Heart Failure and Transplant Center. "Nationally, the average stay for CHF patients is five to six days—and 50 percent are readmitted to the hospital within six months. Outpatient infusions have been shown to reduce hospital readmissions by as much as 91 percent.
"Patients do better when they stay out of the hospital," says Dr. Wencker, "Our results show clearly that outpatient infusion with IV diuretics keeps heart failure patients mobile, which translates into better outcomes. Just being in bed for six days in the hospital worsens patients' cardiovascular condition and outcomes. Although the expected mortality rate for acute decompensated CHF is about 30 percent at one year, we saw only about five percent in our patient population. Patients referred to us by a cardiologist can call and come directly to the infusion center, avoiding the emergency department and hospitalization."
Not only does the infusion center provide therapy in a convenient setting, but patients also receive a complete blood work-up at every visit, which keeps tabs on blood volume, total body water, electrolyte levels, kidney function and other indicators. As part of Dr. Wencker's research into the cellular mechanism of progressive heart failure in patients with endstage heart failure, Hartford Hospital patients who meet specific criteria may be eligible to enroll in several groundbreaking clinical trials.

Trilogy: Targeting Cancer As Never Before
Andrew L. Salner, M.D.
Trilogy™ Stereotactic System from Varian Medical Systems
at the Helen & Harry Gray Cancer Center is the first of its kind in Connecticut.
The hospital is building on its reputation as a leader in radiation oncology with this versatile new image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) system. Trilogy's "dynamic targeting" assures accurate beam positioning, while built-in CT ("cat scan") diagnostic imaging pinpoints tumors with digital accuracy and positions them in the high-dose area despite any internal organ movement. Advances in low-dose, high resolution X-ray imaging, precision delivery and patient positioning are the three advantages of the Trilogy system.
In addition to image guidance, the other two components of the unique triad are intensity modulated radiation therapy and stereotactic radiation therapy.
Since 2003, radiation oncologists at the Cancer Center have used intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) to "shape" a dose of radiation to match the contours of a specific tumor.
"We can superimpose thousands of small fields of radiation to sculpt the beam around a solid tumor," says Andrew L. Salner, M.D., director of Hartford Hospital's Cancer Program. "The prostate gland tends to move within the body, so we image the tumor before treatment every day."
Not only is the next-generation Trilogy linear accelerator safer and more sophisticated than existing systems, it adds new options for stereotactic neurosurgical treatment. With the Trilogy system, radiation oncologists and their neurosurgical colleagues can target inoperable lesions or tumors in critical
areas of the brain, using image-guided delivery and a helmet-like device that holds a patient's head completely still during radiosurgery."
We can now deliver a precisely placed, one-shot or multi-shot, extremely high dose of radiation to a tumor in the brain," says Dr. Salner. "The beam is so highly focused that sensitive structures like the optic nerve receive significantly less radiation."
Even more precise than so-called "gamma knife" radiosurgery, the state of-the-art Trilogy system minimizes radiation damage to healthy tissue. Hartford Hospital's Radiation Oncology Department also offers brachytherapy—either permanent or temporary—for prostate cancer treatment. Permanent seed implants can be implanted into the prostate gland, where they give off radiation at a low dose rate over several weeks or months.
"Temporary brachytherapy can be targeted much more precisely to spare the urethra," explains Dr. Salner. "Tiny catheters deliver highly radioactive iridium-192 seeds to the tumor. Because the computer controls how long each seed remains in each catheter—from fractions of a second up to many seconds—we can selectively control he radiation dose to different regions of the prostate." The hospital's prostate ancer team individualizes care for each patient and helps to determine which option is best for each patient.
Brachytherapy is also used in the management of several other types of cancer. For example, women with localized breast cancer who meet specific criteria are candidates for MammoSite partial breast radiation, which can be completed in five treatment days instead of the usual six weeks. The technique utilizes high dose rate brachytherapy consisting of a twice daily 20-minute treatment to focus on the portion of the breast at risk.
Radiation oncologists are now collaborating with medical oncologists/hematologists to bring new approaches to cancer treatment. Hartford Hospital is pioneering a radioactive cancer breakthrough called radioimmunotherapy. To deliver a dose of radiation to a tumor target, radiotherapy drugs hitch a ride on a monoclonal antibody —a protein designed to lock onto a specific area on a cell's surface.
Once they acquire their molecular target, yttrium-90 or iodine-131 radioisotopes blast the cancer cell with a lethal dose of radioactivity. The FDA has approved two radioactive drugs, Zevalin and Bexxar, for patients with relapsed or recurrent Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who have failed chemotherapy.

A short flight takes you to the norther extreme of the Serengeti National Park, where Sayari Camp lies perfectly positioned for you to see the migration river crossing in the dry season. A welcome table will be set up either at the airstrip or a short distance away, with tea & coffee, cold drinks and snacks allowing you to refresh while you get to know your guide and learn about this area of the Serengeti. Depending on your preference, you may enjoy a short game drive or head directly for camp.
Located in the Northern Serengeti far from other camps, Sayari Camp has an exclusive location near the Mara River. When the migration is nearby (usually June-July and August-September) you'll have excellent opportunities to see wildebeest crossing the river. In this habitat of long plains you'll find herds of elephant, families of lion and cheetah, and large groups of antelopes and other plains animals. Open vehicles, off-road driving and expert walking guides at Sayari ensure that your time here will be well spent.
Accommodations: Sayari Camp
After breakfast in camp board a flight to Tarime Airstrip, near the Isebania border post between Kenya and Tanzania. A car will wait for you there to transfer you to the border where you'll clear immigration and continue to the Isebania airstrip in Kenya. From Isebania fly to the Maasai Mara and touch down at the landing strip where your guide from Rekero awaits. On your short drive to Rekero your guide will give an overview of this special area near the confluence of two rivers. Rivers are the lifeline of the Maasai Mara Reserve, where animals slake their thirst and often congregate for safety against predators. Upon arrival at camp you will be briefed on camp procedures and shown to your tent. Freshen up and then it's time for lunch beside the river on the green grass of Rekero. After lunch, head out for an afternoon game drive, returning in the evening for drinks and dinner.

Q&A: Argentina's NY court showdown on default debt
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina Judgment day is approaching in an epic battle between Argentina and New York billionaire Paul Singer, who has sent lawyers around the globe trying to force the South American country to pay its defaulted debts.
Three U.S. appellate judges hear oral arguments in New York on Wednesday in the case, NML Capital Ltd. v. Argentina. The case has shaken bond markets, worried bankers, lawyers and diplomats, captivated financial analysts and generated enough "friend of the court" briefs to kill a small forest.
Much more is at stake than the future of Argentina's shaky economy, which could collapse if President Cristina Fernandez goes into default rather than pay a judgment of more than $1.3 billion to the plaintiffs, whom she calls "vulture funds."
The U.S. Federal Reserve and the world's largest banks have warned that the smooth functioning of the global funds-transfer system is threatened by U.S. District Judge Thomas Griesa's unusual proposal for forcing Argentina to pay. The same appellate judges hearing arguments Wednesday have already broadly upheld Griesa's plan but want more details on how it would work.
Argentina and the Obama administration both argued that the judge's remedy could make debt relief harder for troubled economies, dooming their citizens to more years of poverty than necessary.
"While the U.S. government does not condone Argentina's actions in the international financial arena," this ruling also could damage U.S. foreign policy, threaten U.S. assets overseas and even harm the U.S. dollar by persuading nations to take their bond business elsewhere, the administration's brief said.
Here are some questions and answers on how so much could be at stake in what seems to be a simple contract dispute:
Q. What was Griesa's ruling?
A. The judge wants U.S. financial institutions to become his enforcers, diverting the payments that Argentina makes to other bondholders if it doesn't first pay an equal amount to the plaintiffs. The Bank of New York, which normally processes the payments, would have to redirect the money to the plaintiffs, and banks say such interventions could threaten the automatic nature of the U.S. electronic funds transfer system, which is vital to the global economy.
Q. Who are the bondholders already being repaid?
A. More than 92 percent of the debt from Argentina's world-record $100 billion default in 2001 was restructured in 2005 and 2010. Argentina gave them new bonds initially worth less than 30 cents on the dollar. These "exchange bondholders" are slowly regaining their original investments: Most already have been paid 71 cents for each dollar invested. This slow recuperation is what debt relief looks like for troubled economies - it has been key to Argentina's recovery.
Q. Who are the bondholders who went to court?
A. A small group refused the debt swaps and filed suit instead. Griesa ruled in their favor, and ordered the Bank of New York to reroute any payments that Argentina makes to other bondholders until the plaintiffs get paid in full, plus interest.
Q. Why go to such extremes?
A. Argentina has ignored a number of court judgments, and Griesa is determined to get satisfaction after many years of litigation. Argentina still hasn't made payments on $10 billion in defaulted debt dating from its 2001 economic collapse. Adding other unpaid judgments, loans and other claims, including $10.5 billion sought by Grupo Repsol for the YPF oil company expropriated last year, Argentina owes as much as $61 billion.
Q. What about NML Capital's position that Argentina's central bank holds enough currency reserves to easily pay the $1.3 billion sought by the plaintiffs?
A. Argentina's dollar reserves dropped to $41 billion this week as uncertainty fueled capital flight. More than half of that is already loaned out or otherwise committed, and Argentina says the reserves can't withstand the demands of creditors for immediate payment of $43 billion that would be triggered if it was forced to pay Singer's group. Graham Fisher analyst Joshua Rosen, however, says: "Argentina is a $450 billion, G-20 economy, and the government has numerous other sources of liquidity" if it decides to negotiate a deal.

Birthday Suit at Freds in Barneys NY
I can't believe I'm finally 19. I feel like an old man (okay maybe not) but close to it. I celebrated my birthday with some of friends that I can't live without. Kendall who as you all know is so adorable and Kelley who I met when I worked at Lush Armitage and now are really good friends.
We started out the day of course working our butts off. I had to finish up some articles for school, Kendall works at a PR firm as an account executive assistant (sounds important), and Kelley was doing some freelance work for an India magazine (so chic!).
We decided to meet up at Fred's at Barneys around 1:45 PM, then we pushed it to 2:00 PM, then 2:15 PM, and finally 2:30 PM. It seems like plans can NEVER be stable.. stupid public transportation.
Kendall & I decided to get the margherita pizza, which I recommend everyone to try at some point, and Kelley got Basil & Fennel soup (looked amazing). Of course they gave us a variety of breads to start out with, which if you guys know.. I'm addicted to bread.
After nomin' on the pizza, I got surprised with a lovely vanilla creme brulee from Kelley and Kendall. It was probably one of the best deserts I've ever had (and I hate deserts).
After eating my wonderful birthday lunch, we decided to "window shop" around Barneys. Of course I wanted to buy the Balenciaga Arena bracelet, but since I came up shopping for Lent.. I couldn't. Oh well, it saved me from spending $215.
Overall I had a wonderful birthday and just want to thank my friends for being amazing.by

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
It all began with a television producer's phone call asking KraftMaid to help a deserving family in need of a fresh start. Seasons later, we are proud to remain the exclusive cabinetry provider of ABC's award-winning program, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
Episode 21The Collins Family
When Kimberly Collins' cousin was killed in a car accident, she and her husband Dennis took in their five children, along with their own son. This new family of eight is living in a house full of problems, including rooms that flood and have no insulation. In this episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, the team travels to Arkansas to rebuild a home for a family who is full of love, but short on accommodations.
KraftMaid's Venicia line of cabinetry was chosen for the Collins' new kitchen. The sleek, streamlined style of these cabinets finished in Tygris Gloss were accented by Dolace glass inserts and Stainless Steel Bar pulls. The laundry room's makeover included traditional style maple cabinets finished in Wedgewood Glaze and Aluminum hardware.
The family's bathrooms were all redesigned with KraftMaid cabinetry as well. The master bath was outfitted with hickory wood cabinets in a Natural finish and completed with Satin Nickel Tapered Bow drawer pulls. The boy's bath was given the cool silver tone of Pewter Glaze on the maple wood cabinets, while the girl's bathroom was transformed by the soft, inviting feel of Bisque Glaze finished cabinets accented by Satin Nickel hardware.

Travis Reineke Fischer
Member of Hand Washing Infection Control Team
My name is Travis R. Fischer and I am in my third semester for a Masters in Computer Science (graduating December 07). My main interest is in robotics and artificial intelligence, especially high-level task oriented AI and multi-agent systems. This summer I worked for Oceaneering Space Systems as a contractor on NASA Johnson Space Center's Robonaut project, where I did simulation programming for the R2 series next-generation Robonaut. I'm hoping to get a permanent job somewhere in the space industry around Houston once I graduate.
I was in the first iteration of the Patient Room of the Future course, where I helped design and prototype PILS, the Patient Interactive Communication and Learning System. The project focused on communication between Patient, Family and Caregivers and attempted to decrease patient isolation and increase information persistency by introducing digital video into the patient space. If you want to know more about it, please feel free to ask. The original prototype is still set up in the Navy ROTC building, so hopefully I can give a demo to the class.
I have a very bad back (specifically Spondylolysis), so if I do weird things (like stand in class instead of sit) or am irritable, forgive me I'm probably in pain. Hopefully, surgery in December will fix that.
I'm originally from Baytown, TX (45 minutes east of Houston), where my parents and fiancee still reside. Oh, and I have two cats Miho and Seras Victoria who keep me entertained when I'm not working.

PCC in the News
News: Men's Cross Country Finishes 6th At SCC Championships
The Pasadena City College men's cross country team is uncertain of its 2012 future after finishing a disappointing sixth place out of seven teams at the South Coast Conference Championships held Thursday at Griffith Park's 4-mile course.
The Lancers' top runner Francis Lee placed 18th overall out of 105 runners, but it was not enough to earn All-SCC (top 14). A freshman, Lee ran a time of 20:43.77. Juan De La Rosa was next for PCC in 38th place (21:24.44). The rest of the Pasadena harriers finished as follows: sophomore Kevin Cano, 45th, 21:36.81; freshman Faustino Gil, 49th, 21:51.27; sophomore Brian Sacripanti, 52nd, 22:03.29; frosh Charlie Camacho, 53rd, 22:07.32; freshman Brendan Greene, 70th, 22:42.14; first-year Alfredo Folgar, 77th, 22:57.75; rookie Jack Serna, 86th, 23:30.92; sophomore Chris Paidimukkala, 94th, 24:19.29; and freshman Abraham Esparza, 100th, 25:19.67.
Only the top five teams qualify from conference, but PCC could get a remaining at-large berth depending on the finish of other non-conference teams.
Pasadena may also have individual runners if the team doesn't qualify. Check this website for further developments. The Southern California Championshps will be held Saturday, Nov. 2 at Costa Mesa's Fairview Park.

While walking around looking for a place to eat, we noticed a couple having a serious relationship ending argument. The girl was hot, so Jmac and I approached her with the latin lingo, we gave her a shoulder to cry on and then invited her to the crib. We persuaded her to jump in the pool only wearing her white shirt, her huge tits were amazing. Jmac titty fucked her all over the pool before drilling her tight pussy.

As someone who has suffered from the detrimental effects of acne, Jan Marini understands the continual battle to achieve and maintain clear skin. Jan Marini Acne Treatments present the most powerful and effective solutions available over the counter. While many people believe that acne is only a problem encountered by teenagers, the truth is that millions of Americans including many adults suffer from the condition. Jan Marini Acne Treatments are geared towards daily correction and maintenance of skin that falls into all age groups. Some Jan Marini Acne Treatments are indicated for younger, more tolerant skin. Other Jan Marini Acne Treatments are best suited for less tolerant skin that is also experiencing the signs of aging.
Jan Marini Acne Treatments are intended to be used in conjunction with a complete Jan Marini skin care regimen for healthier skin. Regular use of Jan Marini Acne Treatments is recommended in order to control acne breakouts and maintain a clear complexion.
One of the most effective acne products that is available for over the counter use is benzoyl peroxide. This ingredient is very effective at reducing the bacteria responsible for acne. Jan Marini Benzoyl Peroxide 5% is a very powerful treatment that is effective on the most difficult of acne lesions. The formula is micronized to reduce the instance of irritation and drying that is commonly experienced when using benzoyl peroxide. When using this product, it is best to start sparingly and use only once a day until the skin builds a tolerance. Once the skin is acclimated, usage can be increased to two applications a day.
Often times skin that is prone to acne is very oily. Jan Marini Bioglycolic Acne Gel II helps to reduce the occurrence of blemishes while also controlling oil on the skin's surface. This treatment uses two different types of acids to clear pores and resurface the skin. The microscopic sponges absorb excess oil on the skin which can also help reduce acne breakouts. Jan Marini Bioglycolic Acne Gel II makes for a great spot treatment and works well with topical moisturizers.
Many people find themselves battling blemishes while also fighting the signs of aging skin. Jan Marini Age Intervention Transitions is formulated to clarify skin that is prone to blemishes while also refining the complexion to promote a more youthful appearance. Jan Marini Age Intervention Transitions also helps to reduce pore size and minimize the discoloration commonly left behind by pimples.

Total Cost of Ownership (tco) of the Extricom WLAN
June 07, 2011
Are you looking to get your logistics business running at peak performance and profitability? Do you need your workforce and warehouse management system to synchronize real-time data? Is the need for seamless mobility and guaranteed delivery driving your decisions? Optimize your supply chain operations with Extricom WLAN. Download our Total Cost of Ownership report and discover the real cost savings your business could make, bringing you the competitive advantage you need to succeed.
In today's highly competitive business environment, logistics center operators need to run their operations more efficiently than ever before. The key efficiency tools used in the logistics sector today, such as handheld scanners, RFID tags, Wi-Fi phones, and automatic pick and place robots, are entirely dependent on the presence of a reliable WLAN infrastructure.
However, implementing a reliable, effective WLAN in a logistics environment is a very difficult task for traditional WLAN technologies. The presence of large metal surfaces in the ceiling and walls of the logistics center, high shelves filled with changing inventory, moving vehicles, and large distances, create a very challenging RF environment. Furthermore, the inherent mobility of clients makes additional performance demands on the WLAN.

If only Republicans would act this way all the time, especially when they are in power. My hat goes off to you, Republican Party, for holding your ground on this most crucial of issues.
I must say though, that you didn't have enough votes to block the Federal health care takeover because you lost your credibility over the last several years of voting for Federal expansion into other areas of our lives (including health care).
You didn't lose this battle yesterday- you lost it over several years of behaving differently than you did last night. Learn the lesson. Fight for freedom. When you gain control of the House this Fall, be the party of limited government that you say you are.
Don't forget how you felt and how you acted on March 21, 2010. That is the Republican Party I would like to see over the next decade.

I think you have unreasonable expectations of the Republican Party. Freedom and independence today begins with freedom and independence from the Democratic and Republican Parties.

We'll see. I hope to goodness that the Republicans are capable of good, because they may be our last shot at this.

Don't kid yourself. Boehner is a typical scumbag politician and will be as bad as Pelosi as speaker of the house. Looking into the origins of the Republican party (beyond high school history books) was a real eye opener for me. There is a "libertarian" wing of the Republican party that I support, but the rest are every bit as progressive as the Dems.

Let's see if that libertarian Ron Paul, Barry Goldwater wing of the Party can't steer it in the right direction.

I think that the Republicans have started to learn their lesson. A few like Jim DeMint never caved into the big government philosophy(bailouts and excessive spending not related to the war). I was cheering Boehner on while sitting on my couch. The Republicans just need to keep on this path and not let the American people down again.
- March 22, 2010 at 10:22 PM

I sure hope they have and I sure hope they do! One of the best things we can do to make sure that happens is VOTE in our GOP primaries and campaign for the true patriots over the RINOs in these primaries.

One of the fires burned 840 acres near Youngstown and another fire destroyed two homes in Rosemary Beach.
The Florida Division of Forestry says the wildfire burned acreage in Bay and Calhoun Counties on Saturday, threatening a handful of homes and forcing evacuations of at least one family.
Officials say the two homes burned because of arson. The two homes, one of which was still under construction at the time of the fire, caused an estimated $6 million in damage.
The homes, in an exclusive beach community, stood side-by-side.

We did not like this. The potatoes did not fan out well and there was not a lot of flavor. Will not make this again.
I cut one potato widthwise, the other lengthwise. The longer one tasted better. I'm going to try this again with fewer cuts.

The last couple of years I have faced the problem of who to hunt with especially for big game. I hunted with a good friend for 40 years all over the US. He retired about the same time as I did and moved here to Colorado around the same time as my wife and I did. He and his wife lived about a mile away. She passed away a couple of years ago and he moved back to California to be near his kids. Last year I went on a guided elk hunt alone and this year I'll be hunting elk here in Colorado alone. (I am going to Wyoming antelope hunting with another friend from California who I have hunted with for a long time) My wife is a little worried about me hunting alone. I have ordered a SPOT from Cabelas which helps with here concerns.
But the issue is still there. I hunt waterfowl alone near my home all winter. It's fun but really a lot of work alone. Putting up and taking down 4 or 5 dozen goose decoys alone (in addition to taking them to the field) is a lot of work. Sitting in the blind watching the sun coming up is just magic tho and makes up for all the hard work. I am not a loner and I enjoy the companionship. My wife has hunted some with me, but it is just not her deal, even tho she jumps at the chance to go fishing.
My son is busy running his own trucking business, so another hunting partner is unavailable. Another problem is I am 70 and most of the guys my age who are retired I shoot with and know are not near as capable physically as I am.I guess solo is the only way to go for now! The older I've become, more and more of my old hunting/shooting friends have either died of quit for various reasons.

"My Father always considered a walk in the mountains as the equivalent of church going."
Aldous Huxley
My nephew was scheduled to go with me on my deer hunt. He called to say his son needed him for a youth deer hunt in Arkansas. Thats okay, my son never hunted. Thats okay too. I can still go solo.
A friend may archery hunt elk while I hunt bear, thats good, he is fun to hunt. We will probably be 2-7 miles apart, maybe with radio commo. I like evening hunting and he should hunt late too, so it should work out that if either is need help retriving game the other will be available to hunt. Should he not go I can still hunt solo.
I have the best partner in the world;my wife.She didn't know much when we first started,but can hold her own with anybody now.Never worry about her not showing up,great shot,good ears,great cook. Larry
I've been blessed with some great hunting partners over the years. Same hunting philosophies and styles, push each other to continually extend our physical and mental limits in the field. Unfortunately, in a lot of cases, the saying - "If you want something done right, do it yourself" - is usually spot on. Best of luck with the hunt. Hopefully either your buddy sees the light or you link up some with quality guys out on the mountain.
Solo is the only way to go. No one is relying on you and you are not relying on them. A lot of folks have reommended the SPOT. Look at its sister divice the CONNECT. It does the same but you can Blue tooth an IPod to it so you can communicate via text.
Solo is not that big of a deal, if you have never done it, try a short trip. A SPOT is a must. I have a hunting partner, we have hunter together each fall, for the past 13 years, but during that time we have also hunted separately, sometimes you pull a tag and your buddy cannot go, so you just do it solo, I find it really exciting. In fact I am doing a solo archery mule deer hunt september 1st, and my had wanted to go, but due to an antelope hunt and work, he is not going to be able to go, so no big deal. I am actually very pumped and will just rub the stories and photos of the adventure in his face, and say "man you should have been there". he will enjoy being teased about it, if I am not successful, I will go back to Wyoming in October with my buddy, and his father.
All of these comments sound painfully familiar. Some years back, I was in the process of completing my NV Mule Deer application, when I got a call from a friend who asked if he could apply with me. Even though I had four points and he had none, I agreed. We applied for two years, and then drew our tags. As things go, I also drew an AZ Elk tag that year. Problem was that the NV deer season started three days before the AZ elk season ended. Trying to learn from my previous unfortunate experiences, I telephoned friend before I left for AZ to find out if he was really serious about the NV Deer hunt, as it would necessitate me cutting my AZ Elk hunt short.
He begged and whined that that was going to be his big hunt this year, and he had put off everything else hunting wise to make time for the NV hunt. I gave him my cell phone number and told him to call me if anything changed. I also told him to find us a place to stay, and get our gear together for the hunt, as it was going to be a quick turnaround for me. Hoping for the best, I left for AZ with Jeep in tow. As I was headed up the Mogollan Rim, it started snowing to beat the band. Things were coming together! I arrived early enough before the season started to have a full day of scouting.
By Noon before opening day, the temperature was in the mid seventies, and every smidgen of snow had melted creating a myriad of watering holes, which eliminated one planned tactic. The snow had driven the elk out of the high country, but the rising temperatures drove them right back up again. The only thing left of the elk were their hundreds of tracks. The light at the end of the tunnel was that the weather was supposed to turn cold with snow predicted the last three days of the season. But wait, I was supposed to be going to NV with friend. I called my Wife, and told her that I was seriously considering canceling on friend, due to the circumstances, but I would not like that to happen to me. So, I would be coming home the next day. She agred.
I packed up my gear, hitched up the Jeep, and got back to California at 11:00 PM that night. I had fueled up the vehicles, and was getting ready to repack, when I decided to check my e-mail to see if anything exciting had happened at the office. There it was. An e-mail from friend telling me that he had gotten so busy at work, he was not going to be able to make the hunt in NV. I called him, and got him out of bed, demanding to know why in the H---, he did not call me on the cell phone, instead of sending me an e-mail? He said that he just didn't think of it, and besides I was coming back anyway. I asked him if he had made the arrangements for accommodations-NO; did he have the gear and food together like we discussed-NO.
Screwed up Elk hunt; screwed up deer hunt; my 4 NV deer points blown! I cannot repeat the atrocities that I thought of inflicting upon friend at that moment. He called me later to apologize, and said that we could apply again next year-NOT! I told him that we would not be applying for any future hunts together. He asked if he was still my friend, and I replied that the fact he had breath in his body was mute testimony to that fact. That was the end of my planning hunts with casual hunters. To take a page from Jen's book, drinking also makes people disappear!!!

Hey Saw,
I'd a kicked his ass anyway !
I had something similar happen in 1997 and 1998 with the same so called friend. I had hunted with this guy in 6 different sates prior. In 1997 I had drawn an Az. antelope tag. We had also drawn antelope in Wy.. I left my house a few days before him and went to Az. and "hurried" my hunt up and shot an average buck (since that mistake I've accumulated 13 pts.) on opening day so I could meet him back in St. George Ut. and park his truck there and drive "mine" to Wy.. He had never hunted loper's before. He shoots a puney little buck but didn't get a doe tag because he thought it was unethical to shoot does...Not me. I had one doe tag. I was peeking over a hill with him and I spotted a nice buck with 3 does. I shot the buck right before it went over the edge. He said I missed. I said don't think so. Went down over the edge and there he lay. I gut it and was walking back up and here come the 3 does. Shot one of them. All done. This guy could squeeze water out of a nickel he was so cheap. I paid for most of the gas up and back and he made more money than me plus a dual income. He worked for the state. Huh ? The following year we drew deer and loper in Wy.. He wanted me to drive from Oceanside Ca. all the way up to Coarsegold near Yosemite to pick him up then procede to Wy.. I said think not. Why don't you drive to the 15 frwy and park it. and we'll drive up together. He calls back next day and says he has to work the next two days and can't leave yet. He says he'll meet me in Cody. I took off. I asked my friend who owned the motel if he had called every time I came back in. Nope. He never showed up or ever called me then or after and I never called him or spoke to him from that day on or since. I figured he wasn't the type of friend I needed. That's why like I said before here. I plan my trips for myself. If someone else wants to go,fine. But if they back out it doesn't bother me in the least. I'm not ruining a years worth of palnning and $,$$$.$$. This is a good thread. I think it has Energizer batteries in it....
Gawd Dayum.. No wonder you guys hunt solo... The worst hunting partner story I ever had was when my brother decided to get married on the 25th of September this year, effectively ruining my first choice of dates to hunt, and ruining his ability to go with us.
Oh, and there was the time that my old hunting buddy tossed me an arrow with a broadhead on it (tossed like you would throw a dart), and hit me right in the eye glasses... The dot on my specticals for the next year or so reminding how much of an idiot he was.

Washington, DC (Sports Network) - Alex Ovechkin scored his first goal of the
season and it proved to be the game-winner as Washington finally got into the
win column with a 3-2 victory over Buffalo on Sunday.
Joel Ward had a goal and an assist, while John Erskine also lit the lamp for
the Capitals, who got their first win of the season in five games and the
first win for head coach Adam Oates. Michal Neuvirth turned aside 22 shots.
Washington avoided losing five games to start the season for the first time
since going 0-6-0 to begin the 1993-94 campaign.
Tyler Ennis and Marcus Foligno each lit the lamp for the Sabres, who have
dropped three straight after opening the campaign with two wins. Ryan Miller
gave up all three goals on 30 shots in the loss.
Buffalo leading scorer Thomas Vanek say out the game with a muscle strain that
caused him to leave Friday's loss to Carolina.

The latest term of the Lauderdale County grand jury says the county faces liability and safety issues.
In a report filed Monday, the grand jury asked for immediate action to be taken to repair the county courthouse.
Ceiling tiles and plaster fell over the weekend. The panel called the ongoing problem "deplorable" and said the county is subject to lawsuits. It also noted the presence of mold in the building and asked for an air quality check.
The Lauderdale County Courthouse was built in 1905 and extensively re-modeled in 1939. A third floor courtroom was added more recently, but the building hasn't changed significantly in decades.
