Grace files for bankruptcy
Company wants all asbestos claims lumped together
By KATHLEEN McLAUGHLIN Missoulian State Bureau
HELENA -- Groaning under the weight of asbestos-related lawsuits, W.R. Grace and Co. filed for bankruptcy Monday and cast yet another dark cloud of uncertainty over Libby, where dozens of residents have died or are sick from asbestos exposure from the company's former mine there.
The chemical company filed for Chapter 11 protection in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Del., seeking a shield from lawsuits while it addresses the amassing claims, a company news release said Monday.
W.R. Grace and Co. officials pledged that business would continue as usual during the bankruptcy proceedings, saying they need the protection while they figure out how to move forward. Grace officials said the company saw an 81 percent increase in asbestos claims in 2000, for a total of 125,000 pending cases nationally.
Pressure has mounted on Grace because of Chapter 11 filings of other companies with asbestos-related cases, including Owens Corning and Armstrong World Industries Inc. Monday's filing by Grace seeks to lump all those claims, including 125 from Libby, under one umbrella to be sorted out by the bankruptcy court.
"This is a voluntary decision that, although very difficult, was absolutely necessary for us," said Grace Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Paul J. Norris. "Under Chapter 11, litigation will be stayed and Grace will be able to address all of the valid claims against it in a fair and consistent manner in one proceeding."
"We believe that the state court system for dealing with asbestos claims is broken, and that Grace cannot effectively defend itself against unmeritorious claims," said Norris.
"The best forum available to Grace to achieve predictability and fairness in the claims settlement process is through a federal courtsupervised Chapter 11 filing." Norris added: "Until recently, Grace was able to settle claims through direct negotiations. Trends in case filings and settlement demands, which show no signs of returning to historic levels, have increase the risk that Grace will not be able top resolve its pending and future asbestos claims under the current system."
The Grace mine, which shut down 10 years ago, has been linked to widespread asbestosis among former workers and other Libby residents. The mine, which Grace operated from 1963 to 1990, produced vermiculite, a naturally occurring substance once commonly used in insulation and potting soils.
As part of processing vermiculite ore, mining operations in Libby discharged dangerous tremolite asbestos into the air.
Libby resident Gayla Benefield, whose parents died of asbestosis, has been a vocal critic of Grace and its operations in northwestern Montana. Just last week, she and her husband found out they both have scar tissue on their lungs.
She called Grace's bankruptcy filing Monday shameful and hypocritical. Benefield said the same company that's complaining about frivolous lawsuits is hiding behind the legal system.
"They've pulled the ultimate punch," Benefield said of W.R. Grace and Co. "They are going to get out of the responsibility for paying for the town they destroyed. If they are allowed to go bankrupt, somebody's going to have to clean this town up, and it's going to be the state or federal government."
Although the number of lawsuits from Libby represents only a small part of litigation against the company, the situation there was the company's most visible problem for the past 18 months. With the bankruptcy filing, all lawsuits are thrown into question, along with the costs of cleanup in Libby and medical care for ailing residents.
But Bill Corcoran, Grace's vice president for public and regulatory affairs, said the company requested in court on Monday that Grace be able to continue its medical program for Libby residents and its annual grants to the local hospital.
Although it got off to a slow start, the Grace health program has now enrolled some 160 Libby residents. Corcoran said company officials are not happy that pending claims from Libby will be dealt with along with thousands of other lawsuits.
"One of the things we regret is there are still people in Libby who haven't had their claims dealt with directly," said Corcoran. The bankruptcy filing came as no surprise to those involved in lawsuits against W.R. Grace and Co.
Allan McGarvey, a Kalispell attorney who represents Libby plaintiffs, said, "It's not the end of the world, but it's certainly bad news." McGarvey said the most damaging aspect of Grace filing for bankruptcy is the delay such proceedings will have on the outcome of Libby-related claims.
He said that lawsuits from Libby are different than the thousands of others filed against Grace nationally for several reasons. Most of the other suits are related to exposure from products that contain asbestos and their damage is not nearly so severe as what has been found in northwestern Montana.
"It's certainly true that people in Libby who have suffered this very serious injury need to be treated in a different category," said McGarvey. He predicted that the bankruptcy court will recognize that and act accordingly, but years will be added to the process. For Benefield, a potential Grace bankruptcy means she and her husband will have to come up with another plan to cover their medical bills.
"Our first thought is how are we going to pay for this," she said. "It never was about getting rich. It was about paying medical bills and holding on to our property."
The company also noted that it had secured $250 million in financing from the Bank of America. If approved by the bankruptcy court, it said that money would be used to vendors and suppliers, among others. Grace's stock closed Monday at $1.52 a share. Friday's closing price was $2.30. The company earlier had reported a fourth-quarter 2000 loss of $107.6 million, of $1.65 a share, mostly because of asbestos litigation.

STARKVILLE, Miss. - On a cool September Saturday night, Mississippi State's offense was hot, racking up 551 yards on the way to a 62-7 victory over Troy.
The Bulldogs, now 2-2 overall, were led by sophomore quarterback Dak Prescott, who had four total touchdowns. In fact, both he and junior receiver Jameon Lewis scored three ways each - rushing, passing and receiving.
The Trojans were held to only 186 total yards, 47 rushing and 139 passing.
Junior linebacker Matt Wells led Geoff Collins' defense with five tackles, including one sack and 1.5 tackles for loss.
MSU is off next week and will continue its homestand the following Saturday (Oct. 5) by hosting SEC West rival LSU. Kickoff time for that contest will be announced this Monday by the Southeastern Conference.

Television and pay TV
Terry Flew
Television is the most widely used mass media form in Australia and in the world. About 99 per cent of Australians own at least one television and, on average, they spent over 20 hours a week—or 36 per cent of their leisure time— watching television programs (Productivity Commission 2000, p 62). From the moment of television's introduction in Australia in 1956, TV ownership took off quickly, reaching 80 per cent by 1964 and 90 per cent by 1971. Moreover, Australians have been keen to acquire ancillary services, such as video cassette recorders (VCRs), with 87 per cent of Australian homes having at least one VCR by 1998 (AFC 1998, p 212). Such trends have been replicated globally, leading to the observation that television has been 'overwhelmingly the most pervasive contemporary mass medium' (Collins 1990, p 22). It was estimated that about 1.2 billion households had at least one television in 1996, which was over double the number in 1984 (Thussu 2000, p 132). By far the largest growth in TV ownership was in Asia, where the number of television households grew from 88 million in 1984 to 302 million in 1994 (Barker 1997, p 4); these figures undoubtedly understate the full extent of TV ownership and consumption, as TV ownership booms in countries such as China and India.
Television's power and influence can be assessed through a number of indicators. The sheer volume of time that TV viewing occupies in people's lives points to its importance, and it has increasingly displaced the newspaper as the principal source of news and information for the majority of the population. It has also become increasingly apparent that television has become central to contemporary political and other public processes, and that the management of television images has become fundamental to the political process. For social critics such as Robert Putnam and Neil Postman, this pervasiveness of television is seen as the major cause of declining investment in social capital, indicated by

4 - The Ambassador, from Danish director Mads Brügger - a darkly comic, genre-bending piece of film journalism from the international provocateur, which attempts to expose the global scheme of political corruption and exploitation happening in the Central African Republic.
Armed with a phalanx of hidden cameras, black-marked diplomatic credentials and a bleeding-edge wit, Bruegger transforms himself into an outlandish caricature of a European-African Consul. As he immerses himself in the life-threatening underworld of nefarious bureaucrats, Bruegger encounters blood diamond smuggling, bribery, and even murder--while somehow managing to crack amazing razor-sharp barbs at every steps along the way. From each absurdly terrifying/hilarious situation to the next, The Ambassador is a one-of-a-kind excursion from the man whom The Huffington Post called "the most provocative filmmaker in the world."
As you might have guessed, the film drew a bit of controversy around the time of its release - controversy covered on this blog last year. In short, the government took legal action against Brügger, because he allegedly used a fake diplomatic title - "Consul General and Ambassador-At-Large" accredited to the Central African Republic – when shooting The Ambassador. And with that, the Government launched a full-scale investigation into how he managed to accomplish this..
The government also wasn't too pleased with the portrait the documentary paints of the country, essentially as one that's destructively corrupt.
Now you get to see it firsthand.

->"I am a bundle of pure trouble!"
-->--'''Kyra''', ''Uh-oh, it's a Dinosaur''
'''[[http://www.fulltimeink.com/dino Uh-oh, it's a Dinosaur]]''' (which began life titled ''Paul and Kyra'') is a LifeEmbellished {{Webcomic}} by Andrew Bilitz (who also does ''Webcomic/PhilLikesTacos'') which updates three times a week.
The main character is Kyra who, as the title indicates, is more than likely a dinosaur in modern times. She's highly energetic and intelligent, even understanding and speaking human languages. She is also some bizarre escaped lab experiment with an occasional genius for mechanics and killing and slashing things that pops up at rather unexpected times.
Kyra lives with washed-up artist Paul, who works a thankless retail job, is rather timid, and is loath to venture beyond his apartment. While the comic takes place in what seems to be our regular world, every adventure they stumble upon ends up becoming over exaggerated and insane.
!! The tropes in play
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Kyra can slice and dice small neighborhood animals with her claws in a manner reminiscent of this trope.
* AnimalTalk: Animals talk one way, humans speak English (so far), and Kyra bridges the gap with strange broken English. The occasional person who hears her talk can get completely weirded out by the experience.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Invoked at ''least'' by page 332:
-->[[spoiler:'''Jill''']]: If she wants to come out of hiding she's going to be confronted with politics, religion, and favorite movies like the rest of us.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Kyra suffers from this.
* BluntMetaphorsTrauma: Kyra suffers from this, too.
* {{Cameo}}: The Series/MythBusters appear on [[http://fulltimeink.com/archives/9418 this page]]. However, many other pages hold cameos as well, such as a mustached man named "Mario" working at a shop.
* CerebusSyndrome: Intentionally averted. Bilitz wanted the comic to ''not'' head this way and at one point he realized it was headed this way.
* CloudCuckooLander: Kyra and Beatrice.
* CrazyCatLady: Mrs. Lucinda, with her one cat. You will eventually learn to feel sorry for the poor thing.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Beatrice.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: The weird beekeeper girl's name is Beatrice. What, you ''weren't'' expecting a pun?
* LifeEmbellished: Paul's (torturous) work experience in retail, aspirations, need to budget and mete out a schedule? Very realistically grounded. Kyra's whole existence? Insane adventures with bounty hunters, mad scientists, and so forth? Not so much.
* MeanBoss: Martha.
* PunnyName: Beatrice. Also Tyrone Asarus and Jill Anjack.
* RelaxOVision: When Paul is given his special assignment by his MeanBoss, the poor [[TerrifiedOfGerms clean freak]] is assigned to the bathroom. The extent to which cleaning is necessary is censored by replacing the offensive material with [[PreciousPuppies cute puppies]]. ''[[BigNo Hundreds of them]].''
-->'''Paul''': Ohhhh [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar puppy!]]
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Kyra.
* ShapedLikeItself: Stray Cat the, well... Stray cat.
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: It never occurred to Beatrice that animals don't talk, so Kyra's talking is not at all strange to her. It is thus far unclear to what extent she can communicate ''to'' animals, but her beekeeping habits suggest it's at least a little.
* StrangeSyntaxSpeaker: Partly defines Kyra's speech.
* TerrifiedOfGerms: Paul is a clean/neat freak.
* ThereWasADoor: Paul uses a tarp to cover the missing door to the apartment's balcony. Instead of simply peeling one side of it away, Kyra prefers to throw herself through it every time she enters or exits. This results in a CrowningMomentOfFunny when Paul reattaches it to keep rain out... And it's in tatters from Kyra-sized holes.
* WebcomicTime: It's only been a few days in-story.
* YouMakeMeSic: Among many others, every time the author means "than", he spells it "then" ([[UpToEleven with only one exception]]).

Our mission is to make the gospel unignorable in our city.
It is not utter hatred for Christ that we are confronted with on an everyday basis (although we are from time to time). Indifference to Christ is the killer of choice in our city. An inoculation to the gospel has plagued our community and has crept in to dissolve any cherishing of God's name in many.
Our desire is to erase this indifference through pure gospel doctrine and a real gospel culture that exalts and displays the person and work of Jesus Christ.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
Two child passengers and the driver of an SUV involved in an accident with two dump trucks remain in the intensive care units of two hospitals after sustaining serious injuries in the crash May 10, Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) Trooper Stephanie Davis reported.
State troopers and other law enforcement officers caught up with and arrested a suspect who fled during a traffic stop in Orange on March 17, reports Department of Public Safety (DPS) Trooper David Henry.
According to Henry, DPS troopers attempted to stop a 2001 Mitsubishi Galant on S.H. 87 north of Orange at approximately 6:45 a.m., but the driver of the vehicle failed to halt. He continued to evade officers, traveling southbound on S.H. 87 until they spiked the vehicle's tires.
A 19-year-old bicyclist injured in the early morning hours of Feb. 23, 2016, when struck by a Orange Police Department patrol car has died.
Troopers with the Texas Department of Public Safety are investigating the accident involving an officer with the Orange Police Department and a cyclist that occurred on the eastbound service road of Interstate 10 at Adams Bayou shortly after midnight.
AUSTIN – The Texas Department of Public Safety commissioned 102 men and women as Highway Patrol troopers during the recruit graduation ceremony. Attorney General Greg Abbott was the keynote speaker during the ceremony, which was held at Great Hills Baptist Church.
The new troopers will report to duty stations across Texas in the coming weeks and spend the first six months in on-the-job training.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

San Diego #5 for office investors
But region only ranks 18th in office tech job growth
San Diego County is among the top five metro areas in the nation offering the "greatest potential" for high-tech office investors, says a new report by the CBRE brokerage.
In its third annual report, "U.S. Tech-Twenty: Measuring Office Market Impact," CBRE said San Diego's local rental rate rose 15 percent from 2012 to 2014, falling just behind the market leaders in the three San Francisco Bay area markets and New York City-Manhattan.
Such an increase tends to grab investors' attention, since they're always looking for a place where they can buy or build an office building and look forward to continued rent raises — and profits.
"That's true for investors as well as tech firms themselves," said the report's coauthor, CBRE research director Colin Yasukochi. "Both are looking that way. Oftentimes it becomes self-fulfilling."
Mark Fitzgerald, CBRE's San Diego research director, said San Diego's time may be coming to attract a larger share of tech office users.
"I think overall the office market is doing really well," he said. "Our position in the (real estate) cycle indicates that."
He was referring to a chart in the "Tech-Twenty" report that showed San Diego poised to transition from its present "stabilization" stage to the "expansion" stage. San Francisco is at the peak of the "maturation" stage.
However, the same report ranked San Diego near the bottom, at 18th out of 20 markets surveyed, in terms of high-tech office job growth.
The area saw only a 3.9 percent increase or 1,001 positions in high-tech services office jobs, bringing the total to 26,500 in such categories as software development and Internet marketing. That represents about 8.3 percent of all office jobs locally.
By contrast, No. 1-ranked San Francisco was up 51.1 percent with 15,922 jobs over the same period. Its tech services office job count is 47,100, representing 20.7 percent of all office jobs.
"It's not surprising that San Francisco blows San Diego out of the water," said Mike Combs, research manager at the San Diego Regional Economic Development Corp. said.
He explained that San Francisco's high-tech workers typically are involved in writing software and developing applications for smart phones and other devices -- and those types of jobs are found in office buildings.
"San Diego has some of that, but most of our employment is not in that technology. It's in other types of technology," Combs said
San Diego's entire high-tech sector employees more than 100,000, he said, but most of them are in biotech, telecommunications and other tech groups whose employees typically occupy industrial and single-tenant R&D buildings, often owned by the companies themselves.
In the commercial real estate market, it's the multi-tenant speculative office buildings that investors, brokers and developers focus on -- and that's where vacancies, rental rates and location become prime factors in who locates where and when.
To the extent, San Diego wants to grow its software and app developer base, University of San Diego economist Alan Gin San Francisco can be topped because of San Diego's lower cost of living and doing business. But Austin, which ranked second to San Francisco in high-tech job growth at 34.2 percent, can boast even lower costs.
So, Gin said, a company wishing to locate or expand on the West Coast has to decide whether San Francisco's high but pricey concentration of like-minded businesses is less important than San Diego's relatively lower costs for salaries and business -- not to mention the difference in climate, lifestyle and housing costs.
Developers as well must weigh the risks of moving forward on building or buying new buildings in case rents and demand don't rise as fast as expected.

Obama campaign's Election Day advice to supporters: Stay calm
**Written by Doug Powers
This probably went a long way toward calming some Democrat nerves, because deep down you know Obama supporters — and everybody else for that matter — are well aware that Stephanie Cutter only speaks the truth:
In a conference call this afternoon, President Barack Obama's re-election campaign had one central message for their supporters when Election Day arrives tomorrow: They should "keep calm," even if they hear snippets of information favoring Republican Mitt Romney.
"My warning, we need to stay calm for much of the day," Stephanie Cutter, Mr. Obama's deputy campaign manager, said, touting thousands of early ballots already submitted by voters. "We've already banked a pretty big portion of our vote."
The fear, she explained, was early numbers leaking before voters have finished going to the polls, creating unnecessary panic and pessimism among Democrats.
Fitting video accompaniment by way of Weasel Zippers:
Earlier, Cutter said the idea of Romney winning Pennsylvania is "not based in reality." Which must mean that the Obama campaign sending Bill Clinton into Pennsylvania to shore up the state they say isn't in jeopardy is also not based in reality.
In other election-related news, NBC's Andrea Mitchell, speaking with Chuck Todd about all the swing-state possibilities, said "if Pennsylvania's in play, it's all over for the president":
Well, sorry Andrea, but Pennsylvania's in play. For some extra bang, Romney will campaign in Ohio and Pennsylvania on the day of the election.
Meanwhile, President Obama is hoping that his role in bridging the gap between Bruce Springsteen and Chris Christie will pull in some of the independent vote.

SEATTLE (AP) — The U.S. Department of Agriculture says the U.S. Forest Service's use of Border Patrol agents as language interpreters and for law enforcement in stops involving Latinos on Washington's Olympic Peninsula is discriminatory.
The Seattle Times reports ( http://tinyurl.com/7qe78ks ) that the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights within the USDA, which oversees the Forest Service, has ordered the agency to establish a new national policy so non-English speakers can use national forests and parks without "an escalated risk of harm."
The USDA's decision is the result of an investigation into a complaint filed by a Hispanic woman in Forks.
Jorge Baron, executive director of Northwest Immigrant Rights Project, said the decision vindicates complaints about discriminatory practices of the Forest Service on the Olympic Peninsula.

New London - Staffing reductions through attrition and possibly layoffs are likely to be announced in the next few weeks to the approximately 3,500 employees of Lawrence + Memorial Hospital and its affiliates.
Bruce Cummings, president and chief executive officer of L+M Healthcare, which includes the main hospital, The Westerly Hospital, Lawrence + Memorial Medical Group and the Visiting Nurse Association of Southeastern Connecticut, said in a memo to staff Tuesday that senior management will meet to decide how to implement recommendations of a consulting firm that has just completed a two-month assessment of all L+M operations.
Berkeley Research Group, based in Emeryville, Calif., was asked to find areas most in need of improvement and suggest actions related to staffing, supply and nonlabor costs, revenue cycles, business office processes, patient length of stay and management of affiliated physician practices, among other areas. Decisions about carrying out the recommendations will also be made with the input of the consultants, members of the board of directors and physicians, Cummings said.
"Job retention is a priority for myself and my colleagues in senior management," he wrote. "Our hope is to rely on routine turnover to achieve (the consultant's) staffing recommendations. But in the spirit of transparency, and in light of the profound changes and challenges upon us and other healthcare organizations, that may not be completely possible."
He said a final plan will be presented to leadership in two to three weeks, and then to all employees. He invited staff to submit questions through the hospital's employee website, www.lmfirsthand.org. Rapidly changing conditions in health care, he said, require the hospital to "pay close attention to our costs while improving our performance."
L+M spokesman Mike O'Farrell emphasized Thursday that no decisions have been made as yet based on the consultant's recommendations, and that all efforts would be made to reduce staff through attrition rather than layoffs.
"Layoffs are never the goal, but given the challenges in our industry, no hospital is in a position to guarantee there won't be any in the future," he said.
Michele Sharp, spokeswoman for the Connecticut Hospital Association, said that hospitals statewide have laid off 1,400 people in the last year and have also cut salaries and benefits, reduced services and postponed purchases of new equipment and capital improvements.
Financial challenges facing hospitals are likely to escalate in July, she said, when a state tax on hospital patients will more than double. A $103 million rescission in state funds to hospitals in December 2012 and $101 million in patient taxes in July 2013 combined to drive income down for all Connecticut hospitals by $175 million in 2013 compared to the previous year, she said.
"In addition to the state cuts and the hospital tax, hospitals are feeling the impact of cuts to Medicare payments and the federal sequestration," she said, adding that Medicare payments were reduced by 2 percent.
She noted that the average operating margin for Connecticut hospitals was 3.27 percent revenues over expenses in 2013, below the 4 percent margin considered the minimum level recommended to maintain healthy operations.
In a May 8 posting on the employee website, Cummings said L+M is "in the midst of a storm" due to a series of recent financial pressures. Among these is the move toward "value based purchasing," in which insurance reimbursements are based on outcomes rather than tests and procedures; Medicare penalties when patients are readmitted in less than 30 days or acquire an infection or other illness while in the hospital; and the increasing number of Medicare patients placed on "observation" rather than "admission" status, resulting in the hospital receiving one-third lower payments.
At the same time, however, patient volumes have been declining steadily at L+M and other hospitals since 2010, he said. From October to February, L+M inpatient volumes declined 2.8 percent. Other hospitals in eastern Connecticut saw a greater loss: 6.4 percent at Day Kimball Hospital in Putnam, 8.4 percent at The William W. Backus Hospital in Norwich, and 24 percent at Windham Hospital, Cummings said.
Cummings said L+M is looking to replace lost revenues by focusing on areas where growth is expected: outpatient services, cancer care and orthopedic services. It is also looking to expand vascular and thoracic surgery in conjunction with Yale School of Medicine faculty physicians; re-establish inpatient pediatrics with creation of a pediatric hospitalist service; recruit new physicians; open urgent care centers; and create a "Value Care Alliance" with hospitals such as Middlesex and Griffin that want to remain independent, nonprofit institutions, Cummings said.
Matt O'Connor, spokesman for the three AFT Connecticut locals that represent nurses, technicians and health care workers, said the leaders of the unions "are ready to work with the administration to ensure that all of their members remain employed.
"In the event of job cuts, unlike in a non-union environment, our members will enjoy contractual protections that are provided by all three contracts," he said. "These rights include bidding on and obtaining open jobs, displacing less senior employees, and recall rights to open jobs in the future."

A spokeswoman for Governor Jennifer Granholm says the state will award college scholarship money won by middle school students.
That reverses the governor's previous plan which had angered students and some Republican lawmakers.
The Merit Award scholarships of up to $500 were earned by good scores on the state's MEAP tests. Students who pass the MEAP in seventh and eighth grades, as well as in high school, are eligible for the cash.
The middle school money is a bonus attached to a $2500 scholarship that can be earned by high school students.
Granholm had sparked controversy when she proposed not awarding the middle school grants earlier this year.

My Coolpix P500 is 2 years old and I love it! So many features in such a great package! One issue though: When the lens is zoomed in, focusing goes nuts, especially in low light, like trying to shoot the moon or such. It won't focus and the image in the finder screen moves all around, whirring. How on earth do I get it to stop that and just focus!! Thanks.
Hi, I copied all the folders from SD Card from my Nikon P500 and copied them to my computer's hard drive. The folders were like 100Nikon, 101Nikon etc. But the problem is that all the files have been copied with .xml extension. e.g. DSCN0010.jpg.xml The file size are 3-5 MB which makes me believe that I have not lost the data and I have hope to extract it out I tried the following - - Changed the file extension from xml to jpg from cmd using 'ren' and mac using 'mv' - Did not work -...

Hi I am presently using Nikon CoolPix P500. Now I want to shift to D-SLR. I shoot indoor performances as well as nature photographs. I also like to shoot from running trains or bus, when I find something good. I want to go for serious photography now. Please guide me so that I can buy the right kind of camera. Thanks for your patience and guidance. Rgds acebee
Hi every one. I have just bought a Sandisk Ultra SDXC 64GB card but realised that it is not accepted by Nikon P100. Is there a way to use this card in Nikon P100. Can I upgrade the P100 firmware with the P500 firmware.
Just signed up to DP Forum so hello from Delmont Pa only 23 miles east of PGH. I was wondering if any other members use the Nikon P500 series bridge camera. Give me yell if you do and let me know how you like it. I had to downsize to a smaller and lighter camera that had a generous wide angle lens and ultra zoom with excellent quality. So far its been a joy. Hope to hear from you and see some of those great pictures. BEST Doug aka oknahs

Before I had this D7100, I had a P500. When I half pressed the shutter key on the P500, everything in the frame was in focus, but on the D7100, it doesn't do that. Say I want to take a photo of my laptop, the D7100 would have the screen in focus, but the keyboard blurry. Is there a way to get everything in the frame to be in focus? I am using the auto mode (no flash) on the D7100 and I am using the 18-140 lens on auto focus. Thanks in advance.

I have been taking pictures for a long time now. My current camera is a Nikon P500. It has a great zoom and takes great pictures. It is time though to take the step up to a DSLR, I have been reading reviews and looking at the local stores and my head is ready to explode with all the different information I have gotten. I have narrowed it down to either the Nikon D5200 or the Pentax K50. I mostly take landscape/city pictures, some sports and fast action shots also. I would like to get into...
Hey first time caller, long time listener. Just purchased a studio flash set up. Norman p500, fiveLH4 lamp heads, three LH2 lamp heads, two p500 power packs. I'm wondering what I can use for the flash sync, it has to prongs like an outlet but the sync provided by the previous owner is something that has no connection to my Nikon D90 or so I believe. What does it need to sync the flash so I can begin shooting? I have a SB600 but didn't think I would be using it with the studio flash set up....
Hi. Everybody... I am an amateur photographer and photographing is my hobby. Currently I am having Nikon P500 camera and I would be using in future too.

L and reform had very considerably modified for both Poland and Czechoslovakia the basic European pattern of rural economy. By 1948 landlords, large and small, were gone or were on the way out: only the man who worked on his place himself could supposedly continue to hold it. The large estate as a private institution, with all the prestige and authority attaching to it, was no more. Agricultural wage labour was still freely permitted, but its numbers were on the decline, since many landless labourers had now received land and since the industrialization programme was beginning to draw them to the towns.
What remained in the country-side was a small number of older holdings ranging up to the permitted 125-acre maximums in the central territories of both countries and 250 in the border or western regions, and an enormous number of small holdings, a large block of them new, averaging around 12 to 15 acres for most of Poland, 15 to 20 acres for most of Czechoslovakia. These latter comprised the vast majority of all farms, and there was little hope of increasing their size yet further in the near future: the limits of enlargement had now been reached. (In the case of Poland, it was the boast of the Government immediately after the Reform that the average holding per head of agricultural population had gone up from under 2½ acres to about 3¾.)
In terms of agricultural output, such a land-holding pattern inevitably means perpetuation of a régime of low productivity per man-hour, combined though it may be, under favourable circumstances, with a relatively high productivity per acre. However, actual post-war conditions were far from favourable, and the inherited internal organization of the small farms bade fair to be a long-time hindrance.

A lot of you out there in San Francisco with the Nexus One have probably been waiting for some more first-party accessories from Google for awhile now and today just happens to be your lucky day.
Google has finally released their Car Dock for the Nexus One, a perfect little gadget if you traverse the crazy streets of San Francisco on a daily basis or travel the roads at all. From the official Nexus One Blog:
The dock's built-in speakers and volume controls enhance the in-car music and media experience. The Car Home app, which loads automatically, makes it easy to access Maps and Navigation, Voice Search, Contacts, and Music.
You can mount the dock on your windshield or dashboard, and it ships with an adhesive disc that lets you attach it to non-smooth surfaces. The dock comes with a charger that fits into your car's 12V utility socket, and the holder can rotate for flexible orientation.
Pretty awesome especially in conjunction with the free Google Maps Navigation that all of you SF Android users probably use on a daily basis. It's also just a good place to put your phone while you're driving even if you aren't using it for directions.
It also has built-in speakers that can make listening to music or watching a video on a phone bearable. And it also has Bluetooth and that's huge. It also can charge your phone. As you can see, this thing is definitely worth taking a look at especially since it's first-party. It costs a mere $55 and you can find it for purchase, along with more information, if you head here.
It's a good day Nexus One owners, a very good day.

Well hello again! Welcome to week two of Flatout's healthy school lunches initiative!
This week I'm incorporating some recipes that adhere to the "eating clean" philosophy. What the heck is that, you ask? Well eating clean is essentially eating high-quality foods that are free of sugar, hydrogenated fats, trans fats, etc. Basically, foods that are in their most natural state.
I try very hard to eat as clean as possible with the kids, and as you can imagine, it is not easy. Hey, you win some and you lose some as my mom used to say.
You may notice that most of my lunches contain a main meal and two snacks. No idea why I do it that way but I try to keep the snacks a mixture of savory and sweet to satisfy all cravings.
And again, remember, making the entire family the same lunch saves time! What is good for the kids is good for the parents.
Hope you enjoy this week's video as much as I enjoyed making it! By the way, next week we are going to try something different: we're making chocolate out of avocados. Crazy!
Don't forget to visit my website if you get a chance or connect with me on Facebook or Twitter! Would love to meet you!

Ubuntu Security Notice (C) 2010-2016 Canonical, Inc. / NASL script (C) 2010-2016 Tenable Network Security, Inc.
Synopsis :
The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.
Description :
It was discovered that the CUPS scheduler did not properly handle
certain network operations. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw
and cause the CUPS server to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
This issue only affected Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, 8.10, 9.04 and 9.10.
Ronald Volgers discovered that the CUPS lppasswd tool could be made to
load localized message strings from arbitrary files by setting an
environment variable. A local attacker could exploit this with a
format-string vulnerability leading to a root privilege escalation.
The default compiler options for Ubuntu 8.10, 9.04 and 9.10 should
reduce this vulnerability to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-0393).
Solution :
Update the affected packages.
Risk factor :
Medium / CVSS Base Score : 6.9
CVSS Temporal Score : 5.4
