Repressed disc,
This review is from: Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter [DVD] [1973] (DVD)
I've edited this review to reflect the replacement disc from Icon.
Icon were so ashamed at the print they used for the first DVD pressings, they repressed the disc with a better transfer and offered a free replacement program for purchasers unfortunate enough to have bought the horrendous first pressing. Quite how the initial version got through (by accident according to Icon) is beyond me - do Icon not have basic quality control?
What's on the new disc is an anamorphically enhanced transfer at the OAR of 1.66:1, unlike the US release which is cropped to 1.85:1. It is the same print as was remasered previously for the older DDHE release. For the most part it is clean and clear, except from around the half hour mark there is evidence of tramline scratches which have been disguised somewhat in the remastering process but are still evident. To remove them totally could have left artefacts just as bad if not worse than the original scratches. I certainly very happy with it as it stands now. I dare say it could only be bettered by a brand new, from the bottom up, high definition remaster.

Actually, the North American release is not cropped to 1.85:1. I just received a copy today (Warner reissue of Paramount version) and it's the OAR of 1.66:1. The picture quality is great too.

Lee R says:
It looks like a new master then for the US repressing.
However, since I wrote that review, I'm of the opinion a 1.85:1 matte is just as valid if not more so than 1.66:1. By 1973, 1.66:1 would only be shown in a minority of cinemas.

Just out of curiosity, which U.S. release were you writing about that had the 1.85:1 aspect ratio? I couldn't find one but I only checked Amazon for it and sometimes they don't include all the technical information.

Robin Soule arrived at Crescent Beach in Niantic to find that the winds from Hurricane Sandy had blown the garage off the foundation of the summer home that has been in her family since 1909.
Jeff Ratner went to his vacation home on Chalker Beach in Old Saybrook and discovered that much of it was missing.
"It's gone," he said. "It's off the foundation."
Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman, U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney, D-2nd District, state Sen. Andrea Stillman, D-Waterford, and other officials toured the storm-ravaged shoreline in southeastern Connecticut Tuesday afternoon, listening to homeowners' stories. They also visited the American Red Cross regional shelter in East Lyme, where 230 people rode out the storm.
President Obama on Tuesday issued a major disaster declaration for the state's four shoreline counties, including New London and Middlesex.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, who announced the declaration on live television Tuesday night, said he anticipates the federal government later expanding the designation to cover the entire state. The declaration will, among other things, provide monetary reimbursement to storm-affected individuals and towns.
Wyman, who earlier in the day navigated sand-covered streets in heels and ran from still-angry tides several times, offered a hug here and a few words of comfort there.
"The wind can't take away those good memories," she told sisters Ellie Fortunato of Newington and Delores Roseberry of East Hartford. The storm had blown off the front of the five-bedroom colonial style cottage on Crescent Beach that once belonged to their mother.
Wyman said she was covering the southeastern Connecticut shoreline, which was hard-hit by wind, while Malloy was in southwestern Connecticut, where water damage was more severe.
The governor is scheduled to pick up his ground tour in Stonington and New London this morning.
"It was a bad storm," Wyman said, saying four people had died: a kayaker and a swimmer in Milford, a firefighter in Easton and a 90-year-old Mansfield resident hit by a falling tree. Wyman also acknowledged the hardships the state's residents are facing due to massive power outages.
Seeing the damage on Crescent Beach, Courtney likened it to East Haven in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Irene. "They got bombed," he said.
Nine waterfront houses, many built in the 1800s, had sustained damage, and the storm had washed out much of Atlantic Street.
Disaster relief
Malloy said Sandy caused more extensive damage to the state than Irene, in some instances destroying sea walls. "It is extraordinary, the scope of the damage."
Details of specific relief services were not available Tuesday. A disaster declaration followed Tropical Storm Irene last year, providing hundreds of dollars in emergency food stamps for nearly 24,000 residents.
"Getting assistance and relief into Connecticut is my top priority," Malloy said, "and I want everyone to know that I am squarely focused on it."
Based on aerial assessments, "hundreds" of homes and buildings across the state were either heavily damaged or destroyed by the storm, he said.
Nearly 700,000 utility customers across the state were without power at the peak of the outages. A CL&P official said he anticipates at least one more day of damage assessments before setting a timetable for full restoration.
The governor was unaware of any looting, aside from an anecdote about a would-be thief who tried to steal a safe from an auto parts store in Bridgeport but was caught by National Guardsmen.
Property owners frustrated
In Niantic, First Selectman Paul Formica, Fire Marshal Richard Morris and other officials steered the politicians through the wreckage. In Old Saybrook, Police Chief Michael Spera, Fire Chief J.T. Dunn and others led the tour.
In both beachfront communities, frustrated property owners told the group they had just gone through Irene a year ago. They also said they wouldn't give up on their homes. In many cases, they said they had limited insurance coverage. It was unclear whether they would be eligible for any disaster-related funding for rebuilding.
Stillman promised she would do whatever she could to help.
"It's important for us to actually see it, not just hear about it," she said.
At Chalker Beach, the group visited two unoccupied houses on Saye Street that had caught fire at about 9 p.m. Tuesday. The fire department, unable to get to the scene because the neighborhood was under water, had to let one home burn. The fire spread to a second home, but it was not a total loss, according to Dunn, the fire chief.
"It's pretty sad for a fire department to have a house on fire and you couldn't get to it," he said.
Rescue officials were able to navigate the area in boats, but the fire department could not get a firetruck to the scene. Dunn said the department tried reaching the house with a military-type vehicle it owns, but the truck stalled and its lights went out, he said.
Dunn said the fire company monitored the tide and by 3:30 a.m., it had receded enough and he was able to wade through waist-high water to get to the house. The firefighters didn't get full access until Tuesday afternoon, when they used water to ensure the fire was completely extinguished.

2. He's generous. "I'm a big tipper. I have a lot of friends who wait tables and park cars and they'll come home on cloud nine because they got a $20 tip. It's great to be able to change someone's day like that."
3. He's not afraid of smart women. "I like to be challenged. I like a woman that can tell me I'm an idiot and I believe her."

Stressful City Life Causes Some Birds To Age Faster
We Finally Know Why Birds Are So Freakishly Smart
Here Are The Latest Very Bad Things To Happen To Twitter
The Death of Twitter has be proclaimed over and over in some form since 2009. Eulogies ramped up over the last year, when its monthly active user count stalled, its executives left en masse and the prospect of changes led users to revolt with the hashtag #RIPTwitter.
Notorious Bird Criminal Stole Knife From Crime Scene
Vancouver is one of the most ethnically diverse cities in Canada, filled with tourist-friendly parks and beaches. It's also home to Canuck, who the CBC describes as "Vancouver's most notorious crow", suggesting some sort of city-wide crow notoriety ranking. Why so notorious? Well, Canuck stole a knife from an active crime scene among other things.
Stanford Built A Turbulent Wind Tunnel For Birds To Help Drones Fly Better
Our Cities May Be Making Birds Smarter
Birds Nest Near Alligators To Scare Off Predators And 'Pay' Them In Rejected Chicks
A lot of things eat baby birds, and alligators eat most of those things. Birds in the Everglades seem to have noticed this, and nest in trees near alligators. The alligators provide a benefit to the birds, keeping away the opossums and raccoons that would eat their eggs. But what might the alligators get out of it?
Lazy Storks Just Sit Around And Eat Trash Now
Storks used to be majestic creatures, but now, they are trash birds. That is the conclusion of ornithologists at the University of East Anglia, who have confirmed that white storks are abandoning their normal migratory pattern in droves, instead choosing to nest at landfills and eat our garbage year round.
Male-On-Male Necrophilia Among Birds May Be A Case Of Mistaken Identity
A couple of years ago, scientists in Japan watched in amazement as three male sand martins tried to have sex with a dead bird lying face down on the ground, which they later learned was also male. Surprisingly, "homosexual necrophilia" is actually a thing among birds, but for sand martins, there's a very reasonable explanation for this odd behaviour.

Time to Buy Elon Musk via SolarCity and Tesla
Tesla (TSLA) and SolarCity (SCTY) were both up huge in 2014 but they have fallen back to earth. Back in Feb Telsa was up 72% and SolarCity was up 53%. Two months laster SolarCity is down 6% YTD and Tesla is up 29%.
The Elon musk lovefest has cooled down since we last checked in back in Feb. Momentum stocks have taken a beating and Elon's stocks have been center stage. Solar City more than Telsa appear to be at an ideal entry point. Keep in mind even with Telsa's recent decline the stock is up more than 300% in the past 12 months.
Both SCTY and TSLA managed to bounce back before today's close.

The U. S. Department of Transportation's Maritime Administration has signed fee-for-service contracts to recycle three more of its obsolete ships. Two ships, the Hattiesburg Victory and the Pioneer Contractor, are from the Beaumont Reserve Fleet in Texas, and one, the oiler Savannah, is from the James River Reserve Fleet in Virginia.
The Maritime Administration has moved 118 ships out of its National Defense Reserve Fleet sites since 2001. With the contracts announced today, there are only 24 ships left in the James River waiting to be disposed of and without disposal contracts, and 10 such ships in the Beaumont site.
The Hattiesburg Victory is one of the few remaining Victory ships built during World War II to carry cargo needed by U.S. forces all over the world. Hattiesburg Victory was built during the last months of the war, served in a commercial fleet in the Hawaiian Islands immediately after World War II, and later served in the Korean and Vietnam conflicts. Hattiesburg Victory will be recycled at ESCO Marine Inc., of Brownsville, Texas, at a cost to the federal government of $1,016,000.
The Savannah is 1970-vintage ex-Navy oil replenishment (AOR4) ship, not to be confused with the nuclear-powered ship Savannah currently moored in Baltimore. The oiler Savannah, currently moored at the James River Reserve Fleet site, also will be recycled at ESCO Marine Inc., of Brownsville, for $515,726. The third ship, Pioneer Contractor, was originally constructed in 1963 as the American Contractor, a breakbulk cargo ship. It is currently moored at Beaumont and will be recycled by Marine Metal, Inc., of Brownsville, for $321,000.
The Maritime Administration stores ships at three National Defense Reserve Fleet sites: the James River Reserve Fleet, the Beaumont Reserve Fleet, and the Suisun Bay Reserve Fleet in California. When ships become obsolete, the Maritime Administration arranges for their disposition in an environmentally sensitive manner. When a ship is recycled, the recycler often salvages and sells metal and other materials, and disposes of other materials in accordance with state and federal law.

The hotel is nearby the beach and just away from the main tourist area.
The hotel needs some heavy refurbished. The food is basic.
Food was terribles for all inclusive the dinning room was like they were feeding starving people no class what so ever. Rooms old style loud and air units were a joke. location good and thank god for that.
food was terrible for all inclusive. The dinning room was like they were feeding starving people. No class whats so ever. if you want a heart attack eat there. Outside my room was the bins and each morning at 5am they were collected it was so so loud went on for 30 mins. air conditioning unit did not work. . Not happy
Cenral to facilities of Monte Gordo
Very large hotel in an excellent beach front position. Large comfortable bedrooms
Clean, Staff very helpful. Plenty of choice at breakfast. Hotel ideally situated in quiet location not very far from beach. This was my third stay!
The coffee at breakfast!!
A comfortable apartment which was well mantained and within easy reach of the beach.
The grounds were well kept and it was very quiet in October. The location was excellent and we were not pestered about our two dogs.
The beds were really uncomfortable and creaked. The room was a little dark
the space of the grounds..alot of open spaces.
all was ok........
I thought the decor in the hotel was very unique and unusual and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful
Perhaps the lack of a spa
The spacious room with balcony and the fact it was only a short walk from both shops and beach.
Friendliness of the hotel staff. Good location.
Difficult access to some of the hotel premises for senior and handicapped guests.
The pool area and crazy golf, access to the beach, the food was very good with a large variety. The staff in the bar by the pool very helpful as allthe other staff were and worked very hard and long hours especially on the sunday for the Hotels 50th Anniversary which we attended after the football match. Would like to come back in the near future.
Arrived at the hotel just before 11am, nowing that our triple room would not be ready until 2pm. Checked at 2pm told to come back at 2.30pm, went back told 3pm. Other people in our party who had booked triple rooms had theirs at 2pm. In the end we had to wait until 3.30pm. The beds could be a little softer.
central to all amenities
uncomfortable beds, very basic breakfast
The reception staff were very helpful and informative, the pool though small was great for relaxing in. Would happily stay in this hotel again.
The barman had a very poor attitude.
The beautiful view.
Too isolated the village is dead. If you stay rent a car and drive to Albufeira, but it's better you stay closer to Faro and drive from there as there are plenty better choices for the money.
Internet fees are absurd 2 Euro for 30 minutes 20 Euro for 24 hours
The hotel was fine, clean and well located. We were on the 15th floor and the wind was very strong. I am not fond of being up so high especially in the wind. Otherwise all was great.
We needed a one night stay in accomodation that would accept pets. This turned out to be an excellent choice.
The proximity to the ocean was exactly what we were looking for. Very enjoyable stay. Thank you for the complimentary bottle of champagne.
the weather
The hotel is in the hearth of the village, no car is needed. Perfect location for family with kids wanting to go to the beach.
convenience,Comfort,Courtesy and location.

Big Data has its own bias, says one expert This application
Big Data has its own bias, says one expert
This application of Big Data to recruiting is "is absolutely worth a try," said Susan Etlinger, an analyst of the data and analytics industries at the Altimeter Group. But she questioned whether an algorithm would be an improvement over what employers already do: gathering résumés, or referrals, and using traditional markers associated with success.
"The big hole is actual outcomes," she said. "What I'm not buying yet is that probability equals actuality."
Sean Gourley, co-founder and chief technology officer at Quid, a Big Data company, said that data trawling could inform recruiting and hiring, but only if used with an understanding of what the data can't reveal. "Big Data has its own bias," he said. "You measure what you can measure," and "you're denigrating what can't be measured, like gut instinct, charisma."
He added: "When you remove humans from complex decision-making, you can optimize the hell out of the algorithm, but at what cost?"

Read an Excerpt
The music was almost eardrum-shattering loud, but the crowd didn't seem to mind. Neither did Maurra. And as long as she stayed here she could drink herself into mindless oblivion.
Maurra kept an eye on the clientele coming and going from the bar. A ragtag lot, mostly miscreants and petty criminals. The higher-class customers kept their distance from places like this. This late at night there were more people coming in than heading out, which meant there was a greater chance of someone getting pissed and slitting someone else's throat. When that happened, she'd have to step in whether she wanted to or not.
It was much easier to handle drunks when she'd downed a few herself.
The high-pitched squeals that passed for music died briefly, long enough for the performer to quench its six throats. Creatures around her continued their chitter-chatter. Some used electronic translators. Most conversed as best they could with sign language and the occasional grunt, along with a smattering of Varonese, the universal language on this end of the Carbucharon galaxy.
In the near darkness at the rear of the room, away from the door and stage, her deep scarlet uniform looked black. It was the best camouflage she could manage. Several patrons had already spotted the crest identifying her as one of the exclusive Joramansu, the psionic police who patrolled this vector of space. A few moved closer, as if having a JoJo nearby ensured their safety. More sidled to the other side of the bar or left altogether.
It didn't matter. Her job on this planet was complete. She'd caught the bad guys and they were awaiting extradition. The bosses had sent her their congratulations. And she deserved a little rest and relaxation before boarding her own flight back to headquarters.
Sighing, she took another sip of her drink. Potent stuff. She wouldn't need more than one to get ass-over-elbows drunk.
There was a sudden loud squalling at the opposite side of the bar. Maurra squinted to clear her vision the same moment a loud and irritated roar cracked the nearby mugs. It was an Ellinod and what looked like two Par Mattas. She grunted. This should be good. The Ellinod was at least two meters taller and a goodly number of kilos heavier than both Par Mattas bolted together. She'd watch and step in if she was needed.
The slimy Par Mattas were squeaking up a storm and waving their tentacles in the air. Maurra wondered how the Ellinod fit in. The beastly looking creatures were loners. They didn't do business with other species outside of their mining operations and rarely ventured away from their home world. When they did, it had to be for a damn good reason.
She frowned. The Ellin system was a good two dozen or more light years from here. What in the world would one be doing on Cura-Cura in the first place?
Now her internal alarm was going off, warning her that too many variables weren't adding up properly. What had the Ellinod done to piss the Par Mattas off? And why were people giving them a wide berth? Slowly, almost nonchalantly, she unhooked her ankles and lowered her booted feet to the floor. She sat up straighter, never taking her eyes away from the scene.
The Ellinod's gnarled face was gray. From the little she knew about the creatures, that gray was a sign the alien was angry.
Correction. He was furious.
If he reaches out and grabs one of those

Potpourri: One Lucky Lady Wins a Motorcycle
Published: Thursday, April 28, 2011 at 4:21 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 28, 2011 at 4:20 p.m.
F.A.I.T.H. Riders of Lakeland spoke with more than 2,800 people in Daytona during Bike Week and shared a three-minute testimony with attendees. When visitors came under the Riders' tent and listened to personal testimonies about how God has worked in the lives of the volunteers, the attendees were then able to enter into a drawing to win a 2011 Harley Davidson motorcycle. These local riders report the gospel was shared and lives were changed.
The winner of the motorcycle was Virginia Burton of Oklahoma, who recently arrived in Lakeland at the Harley Davidson dealership to take possession of the motorcycle. The bike was free, and the F.A.I.T.H. Riders even paid for the tax and title. Both Burton and her boyfriend have found this hard to believe.
Gay Harlowe, member of the Bartow Daughters of the American Revolution chapter, and Doris Wooden of the Lakeland DAR chapter enjoyed the informative booths at the Daughters of the American Revolution State Convention held in Orlando last month. They were among 600 participants who gathered for the four-day event to attend workshops for learning where and how to store family heirlooms to receiving lessons on genealogy techniques.
The Daughters of the American Revolution is a non-profit, non-political volunteer women's service organization dedicated to preserving American history, securing American's future through better education, and promoting patriotism. They were founded Oct. 11, 1890 and incorporated in 1896 by an act of Congress.
Since it was founded, the DAR has had more than 885,000 members.
Eligibility for membership is open to any woman 18 years of age or older, regardless of race, religion or ethnic background, who can prove lineal descent from a patriot of the American Revolution.
The DAR Headquarters complex occupies an entire city block near the White House and includes three adjoining buildings; Memorial Continental Hall, Constitution Hall and the Administration Building.
The Frances Rands Beery memorial awards in classical ballet took place at Highland School of Dance in Lakeland on April 2. First place, $500 and a plaque went to Jeannette Fiallo.
Second place, $250 and a plaque went to Kirsten Sandridge.
There were two honorable mention awards. Winning those were Mckenna Ortiz and Alexis Low.
All students are instructed by Hayley Amis-Stewart, with the exception of Low, who is taught by Courtney McMahon.
Members of Hope Lutheran Church, 2001 North Park Road, Plant City, gathered in their courtyard recently for their outdoor worship and family picnic. As a part of the worship service, members of Hope dedicated their Invitation Mural, to God and in memory of Ray Adkins.
The mural was designed and painted by Hope member Becky Hartmann. It stands as a living invitation to Hope's mission statement of "Connecting People to Jesus."
Inscribed with the words, "Come and see what God has done" is their invitation to all who pass by their campus.
Hope's pastor, the Rev. Dean Pfeffer said, "There is no way anyone can pass by our campus and not see our invitation. Ours is a church that is open to all seeking to experience the unlimited love and grace of our giving God."
Happy anniversary to Cynthia and S.E. Thomas (39), Aileen and Tom Wicoreck, Connie and Larry Favorite (51), Saturday; James Barber and Marlene Hicks (11), Marlene and James Barber (11), Thursday.
Happy birthday to James Roger, today; Ken Dean, Gloria Butler, Jesse Warren, Steve Blackwelder, Sierra Jordan Valleho (8), Katydid Mainville (6), Saturday; Quinton Floyd (21), Monday; Skip Harris, Anthony Broadnax, Tuesday; Hollee Mitchell (24), John Laurent (27), Wednesday; Jim Boone (79), Dee Flowers, Thursday.

Frat Bros Remind Us Why The World Doesn't Want Them
Think about the most ridiculous frat bro you've ever met in your life. It doesn't even matter if you, yourself, were in Greek life or not. In fact, maybe this person is you. Just consider, for a moment, the backward-baseball-cap and boat-shoes-wearing, Myrtle Beach-vacationing caricature of a human you either are or saw at college. Now, think about what happens when more than seven of them join forces for a group activity. What kind of Keystone Light-infused chaos do you think would happen if all the frats united for a global movement?
One site seeks to find out. Total Frat Move, a website of bro interest, has launched its #WhyWeNeedFrat campaign. "There's an important movement afoot. It's time to stand up and tell the world why we need frat," reads the site's page. The video features a collection of bros solemnly sharing their reasons for needing a fraternity. These reasons include, but aren't limited to, "My clothing would be out of date by 60 years without it," "upper-middle-class people can't join a gang," and, simply, "boobs."
Say what you will about the activities, attitudes, and poor wardrobe choices this movement promotes, but it looks like a pretty genius idea that's just as clever as it is eyeroll-inducing. Check out the clip below. (Not pictured: all the high fives they gave each other after BuzzFeed finally picked up their story, man.) (BuzzFeed)

With Angels in the ALCS, I actually miss New York ... a little
Thoroughly enjoyed Mark Saxon's Big Apple vs. SoCal culture wars slide show, although it made me yearn for one of the few things I liked about New York.
Corned beef on rye from Carnegie Deli. Simply the best, and worth the hassle.
One of the ways I have been able to swear off corned beef is to maintain I won't have one unless it's at Carnegie.
Despite being Los Angeles-born (about the time the Korean War ended) and a lifelong Southern Californian, I have not been to Langer's Delicatessen.
I was stunned to learn Saxon's sources picked its trademark sandwich over Carnegie's, because it's not even the same thing -- although it's closer than apples and oranges.
It's OK. My doctor won't let me have pastrami, either.
What else do I miss about New York?
Old Yankee Stadium (where I watched Tim Salmon make his major-league debut for the Angels), the Statue of Liberty, even Madison Square Garden, to a degree.
What else do I like about New York?
Bronx-born ctress Ellen Barkin, for sure. Mira Sorvino, too.
And P.J. Clarke's. Definitely.
With John Lackey scheduled for Games 1 and 5, that's two probable starts behind the plate for Jeff Mathis. ...
One of the truly scary things about the Yankees is, they swept the Twins in the ALDS despite hitting .225 as a team.

Apple to update Mac OS X Tiger retail offeringsApple Computer this week is rolling out a couple of changes to its Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger retail offerings, AppleInsider has learned.
Earlier in the week, the company officially discontinued all current variants of its Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger retail software, which included version 10.4.3 of the operating system.
Apple is expected to replace Tiger and Tiger Family Pack retail boxes with a smaller box format, which the company pioneered alongside updates to its iLife and .Mac software packages in January.
The Mac maker is also expected to use change to update the retail version the Mac OS X operating system to Mac OS X 10.4.6 from Mac OS X 10.4.3.
Apple last updated Tiger retail packaging in November of 2005, when it began shipping the operating system in new boxes with a green sticker that read \"10.4.3 Now Inside.\"

A former Bush School cross-country ski coach was sentenced Tuesday to eight years in prison for filming female students undressing during ski trips to British Columbia.
Former Bush School cross-country ski coach Jason Paur was sentenced Tuesday in U.S. District Court to eight years in prison for filming female students undressing during ski trips to British Columbia.
Paur, 45, of Seattle, pleaded guilty in November to transportation with intent to engage in sexual activity and faced up to 10 years in federal prison.
He was indicted in September 2014 on multiple felony charges by a grand jury after he was arrested in December 2013 in British Columbia, where female students found a video camera hidden in their room while on a ski trip to the Silver Star Ski Resort.
The indictment alleged he engaged in similar activities on annual ski trips with students in 2011 and 2012. He was arrested by Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) after students reported the discovery to a chaperone, and he pleaded guilty to two charges in Canada before he was extradited to the United States.
According to a U.S. Department of Homeland Security application for a warrant to search Paur's home issued in January 2014, Canadian authorities were called to the ski resort Dec. 10, 2013, by an adult chaperone. The RCMP was told that three girls discovered the camera partially hidden by the curtains in their room.
The girls played a video recording, stopping it after seeing Paur setting up the device, the warrant said.
- Microsoft draws flak for pushing Windows 10 on PC users
- 3 dead, 1 wounded in Oregon shooting; suspect arrested
- This is how much more you'd have to pay for a home near light rail
- Texas illegally curbs abortion clinics, Supreme Court rules
- Did Lorenzo Romar, Brandon Roy and UW's recruiting of the Porter brothers cross the line?
Most Read Stories
The camera was turned over to the chaperones, who, in turn, confronted Paur. Paur told one of the chaperones that he had set up the camera, according to the warrant.
The camera seized in Canada contained images of students between the ages of 14 and 17 being secretly filmed while changing clothes or after exiting the shower.
The indictment alleged Paur used the pictures for his own sexual gratification and transported the girls to Canada knowing he intended to take the videos.
The Bush School issued a statement after Paur's arrest indicating school officials were unaware of "any other incidents or forewarning of inappropriate behavior" on the part of Paur.
The statement also said Paur underwent background checks that showed no criminal record.
Paur, who had worked at The Bush School for 10 years, was fired.

It was just a tease.
The three straight wins, the flourishing offense and the growing confidence were false alarms. The Brooklyn Knights simply arent the same team that went to the playoffs last season and Saturdays performance reaffirmed that assessment.
The Knights were roughed up by a physical Cape Cod team. They flailed at several golden opportunities and seemed out-of-sync, dropping a 3-1 decision to the second-place Crusaders Saturday at the Metropolitan Oval in Maspeth.
With six games left in the season, the Knights (5-7 PDL Northeast) postseason hopes are fading quickly. The loss puts Brooklyn 16 points behind Cape Cod for the second and final playoff spot in the division.
Its been tough, said defender Tommy Hunt, who had suffered a gash to his left leg midway in the second half. We have played well enough to win, but it just doesnt seem to come together. Weve have had high expectations and that makes it even more disappointing.
First-year coach Dan Fisher hasnt lost hope with this team. He said hes seen crazier things happen in this league. This team [Cape Cod] could lose down the road and we could have a couple of wins. You just never know.
Brooklyn, which lost six of eight to start the season, has played well lately. The offense has come alive to score six goals in a three-game winning streak.
The teams luck ran out Saturday. The Knights couldnt score on several point-blank shots in the first half including one that hit cross bar and were down 1-0 when Crusader forward Niccola Chicco headed in a brilliant corner kick from Bryan Harkin at the 23rd minute.
The Knights appeared ready in the second half., controlling possession for the first 15 minutes and finally netting a score. Midfielder Angel Rodriguez had his 20-yard free kick sail past goalkeeper Troy Perkins in the 58th minute.
But Cape Cod broke the tie a minute later.
Chicco easily worked his way into the Brooklyn box. The husky forward dribbled past a defender, lining a low 10-yard shot past Billy Guadette to the far post for his second goal and lifting Cape Cod to a 2-1 lead in the 59th minute.
Brooklyn never really threatened in the final 30 minutes and the Crusaders sealed the win with a goal Neil Krause in the closing minutes.
This loss sets us back, Rodriguez said. We thought we had something going [with the three straight wins]. But we cant keep our heads down.
We got to keep going out there and playing hard. We know we have great talent. We just need to keep playing and something will happen. Its a disappointing game, but we're not done yet.
Brooklyn Knights 3, Jersey Falcons 1. The Knights rallied from an early 1-0 deficit to score three unanswered goals June 26 at the Oval. St. Johns midfielder Angel Rodriguez tied the game at 1-1 two minutes into stoppage time when he bent a free kick inside the far post from 18 yards out.
Brooklyn had a golden chance to take a 2-1 lead in the 50th minute when Rich Bradley stepped to the spot to take a penalty kick after Juan Chiavarini was taken down in the box. But Bradley's shot, which had Jersey keeper Steve Welham beat, skipped off the crossbar and over the endline.
Jackson Heights resident Richie Lesmes, who turns 17 next month, entered the game in the 67th minute and immediately made an impact.
He found Whitestone native Shaun Higgins with a brilliant lead pass down the wing and Higgins, who netted both goals in Brooklyn's 2-1 double overtime win at Rhode Island Sunday, sent a perfect cross into the box. The ball landed on Andre Schmids foot and his one-timer capped a phenomenal setup to give the Knights a 2-1 lead in the 72nd minute
Lesmes also set up the Knights final goal, finding Alex Cuba in the box with a cross and Cuba beat Welham from 10 yards out to give Brooklyn a commanding 3-1 lead in the 81st minute.

Prison escapes hit a new low
Relevant offers
Prison escapes have dropped to an all-time low in spite of a more than 50 per cent increase in the number of prisoners being held over the past decade.
Figures released by the Department of Corrections show only four prisoners escaped in the financial year from 2010 to 2011.
Of these, only two escapes were from correctional facilities.
Corrections services general manager Brendan Anstiss said these figures were a significant achievement given there were nine escapes in the financial period before and 23 in 2007 to 2008.
That record however, is set to rise with at least six escapes having already occurred in the past 12 months.
One of the most high profile "problem prisoners", Aaron Forden has escaped twice - the latest in October 2011 - and is to thank for a raft of policy changes within the Corrections system.
Forden was also at the centre of a high-profile "disturbance" at Paremoremo maximum security prison just over a month ago, when he and Damien Wereta occupied a tower within the prison grounds for more than two days.
Anstiss said he could not provide details of the cost of Forden's escapes, but given he was a maximum security prisoner, it was expected to be at least $325.73 a day.
Forden first escaped in 2008, when, in one of the most cliched breakouts imaginable, he escaped from Mt Eden Prison after crawling through roof cavities to a tower and lowering himself over the barbed-wire fence using bed sheets which he'd knotted together.
A policy change since then means prisoners can no longer have in their possession more than one bed sheet at a time.
A system was implemented to swap bed sheets one for one and sheet counts are now included in all cell checks. CCTV footage is now also checked on a regular basis.
As a result of his latest tower stunt, Anstiss said Forden was on directed segregation and could not mix with other prisoners. Forden has also faced internal charges under the prison misconduct system which included visiting Justices who would impose penalties such as cell confinement or loss of privileges.
Other inmates to have made it outside the wire in the past year include Jesse Lee Ibell, 24, and Wayne Holmes, 23, who escaped together at from Waikeria Prison in June, Lex Miller, 44, who escaped from Rangipo Prison just last month and Jamie Paamu Hughes, 29, who also escaped from Rangipo in February - fleeing in a Department of Corrections vehicle.
Rimutaka Prison now has a new electric fence after Corrections made the decision in April 2010 to increase security there. Joey Falau Vanilau, 25, scaled two four-metre-high fences topped with razor wire to escape the prison in April last year. Work on the electric fence began late last year and was completed early this year.
Anstiss said Corrections was always reviewing its security and a number of recent changes had been made.
"During the past decade, [Corrections] has invested in a range of physical and electronic security improvements to prison sites across the country. Including enhanced perimeter fencing, installation of detection and surveillance systems, and the introduction of single point-of-entry prisons."
He said an operational reviews were conducted after every escape.

Submit Benchmarks!
Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTS 450 vs GeForce GTX 460
IntroThe GeForce GTS 450 makes use of a 40 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 783 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a frequency of 902 MHz on this card. It features 192 SPUs as well as 32 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.
Compare those specifications to the GeForce GTX 460, which comes with GPU core speed of 675 MHz, and 768 MB of GDDR5 RAM running at 900 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also features 336 Stream Processors, 56 TAUs, and 24 ROPs.
Display Graphs
Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks
Power Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory Bandwidth
Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 460 is 50% faster than the GeForce GTS 450 overall, because of its greater data rate. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 460 will be a lot (approximately 51%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GTS 450. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 460 is a better choice, by far. (explain)
Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit.
Price Comparison
Display Prices
Please note that the price comparisons are based on search keywords - sometimes it might show cards with very similar names that are not exactly the same as the one chosen in the comparison. We do try to filter out the wrong results as best we can, though.
Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.
Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.
Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.

Three Southlanders off to Sydney softball
Relevant offers
Three Southland softballers head to Sydney next week for the International Friendship Series.
Southland Girls' High School duo of Kloe Milne and Lucy McIntyre and Tia Tuhakaraina, of Menzies College, are in New Zealand teams that will square off with Australian state sides at the Blacktown International Sportspark in Sydney from June 30 to July 4.
Milne and Tuhakaraina are playing for the New Zealand International Softball Academy, while McIntyre is in the White Sox Development team. Both teams were selected from the national under-19 and under-17 tournaments at Nelson and Hastings during the summer.
The White Sox Development team was chosen by New Zealand selectors.
Milne (pitcher and second base) and McIntyre (short stop and outfielder) are 17-year-olds and have been Southland representatives for six years.
They were in the Girls' High team that was second at the Southland secondary schools' Arena Softball Series in March. Girls' High also finished second in South Island secondary schools' championship in Invercargill last year.
Milne played for the New Zealand International Softball Academy's under-16 team at two tournaments in Los Angeles in 2012.
She and McIntyre were in the Mainland team at the national under-19 championship at Nelson in January. However, Milne was forced out of the championship with a broken ankle on the first day.
The Girls' High students have played for Southern Pride at national tournaments, including the Southern Cross Challenge at Christchurch in April.
It was a rich lineup of teams for the Challenge, with final standings being: New Zealand White Sox, first; Queensland Heat, second; Canterbury Red Hawks, third; Canterbury Development, fourth; Southern Pride, fifth.
Milne and McIntyre have their sights set on making a White Sox team in the future.
"I love playing softball, love the atmosphere and we [players] get on well together," Milne said.
McIntyre said: "Softball's fun and it's taken me throughout the country."
