In January 2004, Congress established the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) for foreign assistance. Congress has appropriated almost $6 billion to MCC. As of March 2007, MCC had signed almost $3 billion in compacts with 11 countries, including a 5-year, $65.7 million compact with Vanuatu. MCC states that the Vanuatu compact will have a transformational effect on the country's economy, increasing per capita income and GDP and benefiting 65,000 poor, rural people. This testimony summarizes a July 2007 report (GAO-07-909) examining (1) MCC's methods of projecting economic benefits, (2) MCC's portrayal and analysis of the projected benefits, and (3) risks that may affect the compact's impact. To address these objectives, GAO reviewed MCC's analyses and met with officials and business owners in Vanuatu as well as with other donors. In its July 2007 report, GAO recommended that the Chief Executive Officer of MCC revise the public reporting of the Vanuatu compact's projected impact; assess whether similar reporting in other compacts accurately reflects underlying analyses; and improve its economic analyses by more fully accounting for risks to project benefits. MCC did not directly address GAO's recommendations but commented that it had not intended to make misleading statements and that its portrayal of projected results was factual and consistent with underlying data.
MCC projects that the Vanuatu compact's transportation infrastructure projects will provide direct benefits such as reduced transportation costs and induced benefits from growth in tourism and agriculture. MCC estimated the costs and benefits over 20 years, with benefits beginning in full in 2008 or 2009 and growing each year, and it counted poor, rural beneficiaries by defining the area where benefits were likely to accrue. Using projected benefits and costs, MCC calculated the compact's economic rate of return (ERR) and its effects on Vanuatu's gross domestic product (GDP) and per capita income. MCC's portrayal of the projected impact does not reflect its underlying data. MCC states that per capita income will increase by approximately $200, or 15 percent, by 2010 and by $488, or 37 percent, by 2015. However, MCC's underlying data show that these figures represent the sum of individual years' gains in per capita income relative to 2005 and that actual gains will be $51, or 3.9 percent, in 2010 and $61, or 4.6 percent, in 2015. MCC also states that GDP will increase by an additional 3 percent a year, but its data show that after GDP growth of 6 percent in 2007, the economy's growth will continue at about 3 percent, as it would without the compact. MCC states that the compact will benefit approximately 65,000 poor, rural inhabitants, but this statement does not identify the financial benefits that accrue to the rural poor or reflect its own analysis that 57 percent of benefits go to others.We identified five key risks that could affect the compact's projected impacts. (1) Cost estimate contingencies may not be sufficient to cover project overruns. (2) Compact benefits will likely accrue more slowly than MCC projected. (3) Benefit estimates assume continued maintenance, but MCC's ability to ensure maintenance will end in 2011, and Vanuatu's maintenance record is poor. (4) Induced benefits depend on businesses' and residents' response to new opportunities. (5) Efficiency gains, such as time saved in transit, may not increase per capita income. Our analysis of these areas of risk illustrates the extent that MCC's projections are dependent on assumptions of immediate realization of benefits, long-term maintenance, realization of induced benefits, and benefits from efficiency gains.

How do we apply for a grant?
A Letter of Inquiry (LOI) must first be submitted by the requesting organization if you are applying for a Weingart Foundation grant of over $25,000 in size. If it is determined from the LOI that the request meets the Foundation's guidelines and priorities, the organization will be provided with the instructions and forms required to prepare and submit a formal application. Please click here to begin the online LOI process.
Please note that there is no LOI for the Small Grant Program (all requests of $25,000 or less). Click here for information on how to apply to our Small Grant Program.
Does Weingart Foundation have deadlines for submitting Letters of Inquiry or Applications?
For requests over $25,000, the Foundation accepts and reviews letters of inquiry (LOIs) throughout the year without deadlines. The Small Grant Program (requests $25,000 and under) has a one-step application process (no LOI) and also accepts and reviews applications throughout the year without deadlines. Click here to learn more about our Small Grant Program.
How much time does it take for a review?
For requests over $25,000, if an application is invited, you have up to three months to submit the completed form and supplemental materials. Completed applications are assigned to a program officer for review in the order they are received. It generally takes up to six months to review an application from the day that it is received to notification of the Board's decision. Occasionally, final action will be deferred. Each applicant is notified promptly as soon as a decision has been made. Agencies applying to our Small Grant Program will receive notification of a decision on their application within four months after submitting an application.
What is your decision-making process for grant requests?
Our Board of Directors meets five times a year to make decisions regarding requests. Applicants should feel free to contact Foundation staff for information on the status of your request. However, communication with members of our Board of Directors is discouraged.
What if I have trouble using the online Letter of Inquiry?
Please contact Priscilla Savage, Grants Administrator, at (213) 688-6311 for assistance.
We have been invited to submit a full application. May we substitute a full narrative proposal for Weingart Foundation's application form?
The Foundation requires that all applicants use Weingart Foundation's application form to ensure that organizations provide all of the information needed for a full review.
What are Weingart Foundation's funding priorities?
Weingart Foundation priorities are described in the Grant Guidelines.
What are the Weingart Foundation's grant limitations?
The Weingart Foundation's limitations are listed in the Grant Guidelines.
We have several needs. Would you help us choose one or may we include all of them in our request?
The Weingart Foundation prioritizes Unrestricted Operating Support. We are currently not accepting any new LOIs for Capital funding (for more information, click here). In the Small Grant Program (requests $25,000 and under), only Unrestricted Operating Support is available.
What can I use Unrestricted Operating Support funds for?
Unrestricted Operating Support is unrestricted funding that enables an organization to carry out its mission by strengthening organizational capacity and effectiveness. It can be used, for example, to underwrite administrative infrastructure, implement a strategic plan, build or strengthen organizational capacity, and/or to maintain core programs and essential staff.
I am a current grantee with an active grant. Can I now apply for another grant?
Weingart Foundation's policy allows an agency to have only one active grant at a time (an active grant is one in which the final report has not yet been submitted and grant funds have not been fully expended). Due to the overwhelming demand for grant dollars, generally, grantees must wait one year from the end of their grant period before re-applying for a new Foundation grant. However, Unrestricted Operating Support grantees may receive up to two consecutive Unrestricted Operating Support grants and Small Grant Program grantees may receive up to two consecutive Small grants before the one-year wait rule is applied. Please note that the Foundation generally does not approve grants to organizations on a continuing annual basis.
I have an active grant with Weingart Foundation but I am experiencing significant challenges with my project and do not believe I will be able to achieve my original goals. What can I do?
Please contact your program officer as soon as possible to discuss the situation. The Foundation recognizes that even some of the best executed plans experience challenges along the way and we are committed to supporting our grantees.
Does Weingart Foundation provide "emergency" grants through an expedited process?
We do not have an expedited grant review process to assist organizations facing an "emergency" situation. Please also note that Unrestricted Operating Support is not intended as emergency funding to keep organizations from going out of business. Agencies seeking Unrestricted Operating Support should apply and follow our regular grant process and timeline, which begins with the submission of a Letter of Inquiry (LOI). Agencies seeking a small grant (up to $25,000) may apply through the Small Grant Program, though applicants should first review the program guidelines to determine eligibility. Although the Small Grant Program application process is slightly faster than the Regular Grant Program, it is not an "emergency" grant program.
Is Weingart Foundation still funding new program development or expansion requests?
At this time, the Foundation is continuing to prioritize Unrestricted Operating Support grants.
Our organization is an arts and culture agency and we note that the arts are not listed among Weingart Foundation's program areas. Are we eligible to apply?
In the area of arts and culture, the Foundation specifically funds nonprofit organizations whose core mission and programs focus on providing comprehensive arts education for low income and underserved populations. Programs should engage individuals over a period of time in a sequential series of interactions leading to a growth in knowledge, skill, level of appreciation, etc., and in the case of youth programs, should typically be aligned with core state standards. In general, we do not fund organizations that provide mainly one-time events such as attending a performance or visiting a museum, or short term programs consisting of a few interactions. Organizations where only one or two programs align with Foundation guidelines will generally not be competitive for funding.
What is the maximum grant amount that Weingart Foundation funds? What is the range?
We have not established maximum dollar amounts. Please see our Grant Guidelines for further guidance on funding amounts.
Must we submit an audited financial statement with our application?
Audited financial statements for the most recently completed fiscal year are required of all applicants in existence for more than five years and with operating income of $500,000 or more. Organizations with annual income under $500,000 or new organizations (founded within the last five years) may instead submit an independent review of their financial statements, completed by a CPA. Please do not submit an application without all of the required attachments, as it will not be processed. Case-by-case exemptions to these financial statement requirements are available for applicants to the Small Grant Program (see below for more information).
NOTE: The Foundation is currently not accepting new applications to the Small Grant Program (for more information, click here).
How do we apply for a grant through the Small Grant Program?
There is no letter of inquiry required for the Small Grant Program. After reviewing the Foundation's guidelines, if an organization deems that its mission and programs align with the Foundation's priorities and interests, then an online application should be submitted. Click here to learn more about our Small Grant Program.
Does Weingart Foundation have deadlines for submitting applications to the Small Grant Program?
There are no submission deadlines for the program, which accepts and reviews applications on an ongoing basis throughout the year. Organizations should apply at the time that is most appropriate for them. You can expect to hear back with a decision regarding your application in four months or less.
Does the Foundation support nonprofits with small operating budgets?
Weingart Foundation has historically supported smaller, developing nonprofits through the Small Grant Program. Priority in the Small Grant Program is given to organizations with budgets under $1 million. For agencies applying through a nonprofit fundraising arm or foundation, it is the operating budget of the primary organization (versus the fundraising entity) that we will consider when determining fit with our priority budget size. Click here to learn more about our Small Grant Program.
Does the Small Grant Program fund international, national, or statewide organizations operating in Southern California?
The Small Grant Program prioritizes local community-based organizations with operating budgets under $1 million. We do consider funding international, national, or statewide agencies under the following circumstances: 1) the organization has an established local presence (i.e. local office and/or staff, local advisory board, local funding, etc.); 2) the organization has a positive track record of operating programs in Southern California for at least one year; and 3) the organization's local budget is no larger than $1 million in size and the local office is responsible for raising its own budget.
How do I determine the appropriate amount to request if I'm applying to the Small Grant Program?
The program awards a maximum of $25,000. Within this limit, it is up to agencies to decide the appropriate request amount based on your organizational budget and funding plan. However, please note that given the high demand for our funding, the average grant awards range from $10,000 to $15,000 and typically do not exceed 10% of an organizations operating budget.
Must we submit an audited financial statement with our Small grant application?
Audited financial statements for the most recently completed fiscal year are required of all organizations in existence for more than five years and with operating income of $500,000 or more. Organizations with annual income under $500,000 or new agencies (founded within the last five years) may instead submit an independent review of their financial statements, completed by a CPA. Small grant applicants that cannot meet the financial documentation requirements may be eligible for an exemption on a case by case basis upon review of the full application. While organizations do not need to specifically request this exemption, the application should include unaudited or internal financial statements (balance sheet and income/expense statement) with the understanding that if a grant were approved, it would be as an exception to policy.
Does the Foundation support start-up organizations?
At this time, Weingart Foundation does not fund start-up organizations. Applicants must have been operating for at least three years and have established their core infrastructure, funding model and programs.
Does the Foundation support fiscally sponsored organizations?
Applicants that are fiscally sponsored are eligible for funding. The Small Grant application will ask you for information and attachments regarding both your organization as well as your fiscal sponsor.
What if I have trouble with the Small Grant Program online application?
Please contact Angela Carr, Grants Management Associate, at email@example.com or (213) 688-6314 for assistance.
I have an active Small grant with Weingart Foundation but I am experiencing significant challenges with my project and do not believe I will be able to achieve my original goals. What can I do?
Please contact your program associate as soon as possible to discuss the situation. The Foundation recognizes that even some of the best executed plans experience challenges along the way, and we are committed to supporting our grantees.
What are the reporting requirements for the Small Grant Program?
Organizations awarded Small Grant Program funding are expected to submit one final report at the end of the grant period. The final report should be submitted online. No interim report is required. More information is available on the Grantee Forms section of the website.
My organization is a current grantee. When may I re-apply for another grant? What do I need to do?
Generally, an organization is eligible to re-apply for a Small grant once its current grant is officially closed. A grant is considered closed when 1) the grant period has ended, 2) all Foundation funds have been spent, 3) all grant goals have been met, and 4) the organization has submitted a final report and the report has been reviewed and approved by Foundation staff. Organizations will be notified by email once their grant is closed. Small grantees are able to apply for a renewal grant through an expedited process for a second consecutive year of funding. For more information on renewal grants, see below. An organization that has received two consecutive small grants must wait 12 months before re-applying. "Consecutive" is defined as when the organization re-applied within 12 months of the close of their previous grant.
Renewal grants (Small Grant Program only)
Grantees through the Small Grant Program are eligible to apply for a renewal grant for a second consecutive year of Small grant funding. The renewal process is designed to be an expedited path for those organizations interested in re-applying within 30 days of the close of their previous grant. The maximum request amount for an Unrestricted Operating Support renewal grant remains $25,000 over a 12-month period. Grantees will receive an email from the Foundation upon the close of their current grant with detailed instructions on how to apply for a renewal, along with a link to the online application form. Organizations may expect to receive notification of the Foundation's decision regarding their renewal application no more than four months after submission. There is no guarantee of renewed funding.
We have a grant request that appears to fit within Weingart Foundation guidelines. Should we set up a meeting with Foundation staff to present our ideas?
Generally, for all requests over $25,000, the best first step is to submit a Letter of Inquiry (LOI). Due to the high volume of requests we receive, we are unable to meet with organizations before they submit an LOI. We are also unable to review draft LOIs or applications. If you have a question related to our process or guidelines, please feel free to call or email us, and we would be happy to answer your question. If, however, you have reviewed our guidelines and feel comfortable applying without contacting us, please feel free to do so. We review each LOI and application on the strength of its fit with our Grant Guidelines, and there is no special advantage for agencies that have called first.
Do you conduct site visits to all organizations that have submitted a formal application?
Organizations requesting over $25,000 typically receive a site visit as part of our application review process. The program officer will determine the most effective method(s) by which to gather additional information and will contact you to schedule time to review all of your information once a completed application has been received. Site visits are typically not conducted for Small Grant Program applicants given the high application volume and shorter review timeline.
I am a past Weingart Foundation grantee and I am interested in applying for a grant again. Will I be assigned to the same program officer that reviewed my previous application?
Although we often assign program officers to organizations that they have reviewed in the past, there is no guarantee that you will have the same program officer.
How do we learn more about Weingart Foundation's past grants?
A complete list of past grants can be found in the Annual Reports listed under the About Us section of the website. In the Recent Grants section, you can view recent grants by program area.
May we contact Foundation Directors about our proposed project?
Communication with members of our Board of Directors is discouraged.
How do we check on the status of our request?
Contact Priscilla Savage, Grants Administrator, at (213) 688-6311 to determine the status of your request. However, please allow one month after submission before calling to inquire about a letter of inquiry, and six weeks after submission before inquiring about a Regular Grant application.
What are the reporting requirements for the Regular Grant Program (all grants over $25,000)?
Recipients of Unrestricted Operating Support grants (formerly known as "Core Support") awarded prior to June 1, 2015 are asked to submit a final report at the end of their grant period. For Unrestricted Operating Support grantees awarded after June 1, 2015 (excepting Small grantees), we ask that executive directors complete a 45-60 minute Grantee Survey at the end of the grant term and engage in a close-out conversation with their Foundation program officer in lieu of a final report.
All other grantees (Capital grants) are asked to report every six months. Forms are available on the Grantee Forms section of the website. We are eager to hear of our grantees' accomplishments, as well as challenges, in order to learn and strengthen our grantmaking.

I used to use a linux software that monitors logs like http, ssh, etc and if it detects that someone is trying to use brute force, it blocks that ip by adding a rule to iptables. I forgot what that software is called. It's opensource and free.
fail2ban does that, although I don't think it's the only such tool. (Amazed mentioned DenyHosts, although it seems to be SSH specific.)

A trip to Russia may never look more appealing. Five young women with tight, natural bodies show world-class talent in this Eastern European feast. Katie, an inviting blonde, makes a statement in the first scene, getting pounded doggy on a rotating bed.
After a workmanlike anal with Vanessa in the second scene, the knockout blonde Janna kicks off the scintillating third scene by stripping and masturbating. She shows off her great ass throughout the ball-busting session. By the time she finishes the doggie only to go back to more reverse cowgirl, she's just showing off.
The fourth scene involves another cutie named Tracy getting her ass probed and then d.p.'d in a timely change of pace. The pretty brunette Maria places on a nice bow on the package in the finale.

I *DID* go through the process of backing up the entire HDD (and restored it after I went through Sony's scripted little troubleshooting procedure BS) - luckily I had an old 12gb external USB drive sitting around. (Sometimes I'm glad I'm a nerd). But I also took the precaution of copying my saved games on a separate USB stick as well. If worse comes to worst, I've also copied my savegames onto my Bro-in-lo's PS3 if I get really desperate.
In the meantime, with a new (real) bub in the house, I'm sure I'll be able to find something to do while the black shiny box is being fixed.
It's funny, the thing that really pisses me is that I'm going to have to wait to play the new Burnout content coming out on the 10th
Anyhoo, the beasty was posted off this afternoon. This means by my reckoning, working on the premise they'll receive it Monday, I should have it back the week starting August 4.

Welcome to the Third Intifada
After Gaza, Palestine's Uprising Will Spread to the West Bank
Given the intensity of the ongoing war between Hamas and Israel in Gaza, it is easy to forget that the current crisis began in a different part of Palestine. The kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teenagers in the West Bank led to a severe Israeli crackdown on Hamas, which responded with a barrage of rocket fire at Israel from Gaza. Meanwhile, the murder of a Palestinian teenager by Jewish extremists sparked several days of violent protests by Palestinians in East Jerusalem and elsewhere. The shift in venue served Israel's interests, diverting the conflict away from sensitive and strategically vulnerable areas. For Israeli policymakers, another concentrated war against Gaza was preferable to the possibility of another West Bank uprising against Israel, akin to the so-called intifadas that occurred in the late 1980s and the early 2000s. Contrary to what Israelis may have hoped, however, the present war has made a third intifada more, not less, likely.
For most of the past decade, Israel's de facto policy has been to deepen Palestinian geographic and political division by maintaining the schism between the Fatah-dominated Palestinian Authority (PA) in the West Bank and the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip. Although the current Israeli government has made no secret of its opposition to any Palestinian government that includes or is even accepted by Hamas, which it views as a vicious terrorist organization that is beyond the political pale, Israel's policy of isolating Gaza from the West Bank began before Hamas' rise to power.

MDMA (commonly known as the empathogen "ecstasy") is classified as a Schedule 1 drug, which is reserved for compounds with no accepted medical use and a high abuse potential. Two researchers from Stanford, however, call for a rigorous scientific exploration of MDMA's effects to identify precisely how the drug works, the data from which could be used to develop therapeutic compounds.Do you agree that ecstasy should be studied for its potential therapeutic benefits?

Released: Oct 01st, 1995
Running Time: 65
Director: Josh Eliot
Company: Catalina Video
Cast: Robert Horne, Corey Miles, Peter Bishop, Dino DiMarco
Critical Rating: Not Yet Rated
Genre: Gay and Bi
Dino DiMarco, determined to remain faithful to lover Trent Lords, ogles yard boy Alex Danes and fantasizes a hot tub tryst. The hottest action is between Peter Bishop, who can't seem to get off his knees, and the mega-hung Robert Horne; Michael Cage and Patrick Ives also join in.
This mid-range Catalina product has no real stand-out scenes, and DiMarco isn't quite up to carrying a star vehicle. Ultimately, the setting (a lushly landscaped estate) upstages the so-so sex.

Diagnosing Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Lupus and Chronic Illness: Since individuals with SLE could have an extensive sort of symptoms and various combinations of organ participation, no one prove sets up the diagnosis of systemic lupus. To assist doctors amend the accuracy of the diagnosis of SLE, 11 criteria were set up by the American Rheumatism Association (ARE). These 11 criteria are nearly associated to the symptoms talked over above. Several folks suspected of having SLE might never grow enough criteria for a certain diagnosis. Others gather enough criteria just after months or years of notice. Once a person has 4 or more of these criteria, the diagnosis of SLE is strongly advised. However, the diagnosis of SLE possibly established in some settings in folks with just a couple of these classical criteria, and handling might occasionally be instituted at this stage. Of these folks with least criteria, some might subsequently develop other criteria, but a lot never do.
Here are the 11 criteria applied for diagnosing systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE):
- Malar (across the cheeks of the face) "butterfly" rash.
- Circular skin rash (uneven redness with hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation that could cause marking).
- Photosensitivity (skin rash in response to sunlight-ultraviolet-light exposure)
- Mucous membrane ulcers (natural sores or ulcers of the lining of the nose, throat or mouth)
- Arthritis (tender joints of the extremities, two or more swollen)
- Pleuritis or pericarditis (inflammation of the lining tissue around the lungs or heart, typically connected with chest pain on breathing or alterations of body posture)
- Kidney abnormalities (insane amounts of urine protein or clumps of cellular elements known as casts detectable on a standard urinalysis). Note: Ultimately, from systemic lupus erythematosus in patients with kidney disease, a kidney biopsy might be necessary to both define the reason of the kidney disease as making up lupus related also as to find out the stage of the kidney disease appropriate to optimally handle treatments. Kidney biopsies are frequently executed through fine-needle aspiration of the kidney under radiology guidance, but in definite conditions, a kidney biopsy can be performed on an open abdominal operation
- Brain irritation (manifested by convulsions and/or psychosis, named to as "lupus cerebritis")
- Blood-count abnormalities: red blood count (RBC) or low white blood count (WBC), or platelet count on regular complete blood count testing; anemia, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia, respectively. All of these is perceptible with standard complete blood count testing (CBC)
- Immunologic disorder (abnormal immune trials include anti-Sm antibodies or anti-DNA, incorrectly positive blood test for syphilis, lupus anticoagulant, anticardiolipin antibodies, or positive LE prep test)
- Antinuclear antibody (positive ANA antibody testing)
Evaluating Folks with SLE
In addition to the 11 criteria, different tests could be adjuvant in evaluating folks with SLE to find out the severity of organ participation. These include regular testing of the blood to find inflammation for instance, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate, or ESR, and the C-reactive protein, or CRP, direct analysis of internal body fluids, tissue biopsies and blood-chemistry testing. Irregularities in body fluids (joint or cerebrospinal fluid) and tissue samples (skin biopsy, kidney biopsy, and nerve biopsy) could further support the diagnosis of SLE. The proper testing procedures are chosen for the patient one by one by the doctor.Continue reading

Detroit Mayor Faces Perjury Charges
Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, a one-time rising star and Detroit's youngest elected leader, was charged Monday with perjury and other counts after sexually explicit text messages contradicted his sworn denials of an affair with a top aide.
Madeleine Brand talks to NPR's Celeste Headlee about what the charges mean for the mayor.
Detroit Mayor's Racy Texts Lead to Perjury Charges
Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was charged Monday with perjury after prosecutors said he sent sexually explicit text messages that appear to contradict his sworn denials of an affair with a top aide.
Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy also charged Kilpatrick with obstruction of justice and misconduct in office.
Kilpatrick's former chief of staff, Christine Beatty, 37, who denied that she and the mayor had a romantic relationship in 2002 and '03, also was charged with perjury and obstruction of justice.
The eight-count criminal indictment, announced Monday by Worthy, includes six felonies. A perjury conviction could bring up to 15 years' imprisonment and could force Kilpatrick to relinquish the mayor's office.
"This case was about as far from being a private matter as one can get. Honesty and integrity in the justice system is everything. That is what this case is about," Worthy said at a news conference.
Speaking later, Kilpatrick said he looked forward to "complete exoneration once all the facts have been brought forth."
"I will remain focused on moving this city forward," he said.
The cell phone text messages allegedly sent by Kilpatrick, 37, a one-time rising star and Detroit's youngest elected leader, contradict statements he and Beatty gave under oath during a whistleblower trial last summer when each denied a romantic relationship.

'Project X' sequel already in the works
Director Nima Nourizadeh's $12 million found-footage comedy "Project X" grossed a surprisingly robust $21 million last weekend, making a sequel seem all but certain - and, indeed, news of a follow-up is already making the rounds.
Co-writer Michael Bacall (who also penned the forthcoming "21 Jump Street" movie) is currently working on a treatment for a possible second film, which he reportedly started working on weeks prior to "Project X"'s release. Producers Todd Phillips ("The Hangover") and Joel Silver (under the umbrella of their Green Hat and Silver Pictures banners, respectively) will ultimately have final say on whether the project moves forward to the scripting stage, though it's hard not to see them giving Bacall the green light after the first installment's unqualified success last weekend.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, which broke the story, it's unclear whether the film's lead trio Thomas Mann, Oliver Cooper and Jonathan Daniel Brown would return for a follow-up, though chances are probably good.
"Project X" follows three nerdy high school friends who throw a party for their classmates in order to improve their social status, only for things to quickly spiral out of control. The events are seen from the point-of-view of a home video camera.
Our own Drew McWeeny enjoyed the film; you can read his full review here.
What did you think of "Project X"? Does it merit a sequel? Sound off in the comments!

Wright: No Contract Talks During the Season
The Mets' planned contract talks with David Wright will have to wait. In an interview on WFAN's pre-game show Friday, the third baseman said he has informed the Mets that he won't negotiate during the season.
Earlier this week, GM Sandy Alderson said he'd speak with representatives for Wright about an extension before season's end. But Wright nixed the idea Friday.
"I've made a decision, along with my representatives, that we will not discuss contract during this season or next, for that matter," Wright said. "It wouldn't be fair to this team to do something as selfish talk about a contract for me."
The Mets have a $16 million option to retain Wright for 2013, so there is no urgency to signing him to a new deal. But if they can't reach a deal next winter, they would at least have to consider trading him.
Wright reiterated his desire to stay long-term. "I've said it once, I've said it a million times, I love it here," he said. "The fans have seen some good, some bad and some ugly from me over the years and they've stuck by me."

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Londra Palace Venice
Wonderful Staff
We recently stayed at the Londra Palace (May 2004). I was not as taken with the rooms as the other reviews. A little overdone for my taste, but a lovely hotel nevertheless.The staff was wonderful. They recommended some great restaurants which we enjoyed very much. We did have dinner in the hotel one night which while good, was very overpriced. However, there is not better place for an afternoon drink on the terrace. The drinks are much less expensive then the surrounding hotels and what a view! The location is great. After the first day of fighting the mobs we decided to get up very early to explore San Marcos square, then take off to another area of the city during the day to escape all the people. Much more relaxing that way
Grand Style and a Warm Welcome directly on the Lagoon
We've just returned from four superb days at the Londra Palace. To the chorus extolling its virtues, may we add ours. Our wonderful suite had four tall Franch doors all looking out over the lagoon. It was beautifully done, furnished in fine antiques with a very comfortable bed and elegant marble bathroon. Watching the boats is indeed mesmerizing and the soundproofing is such that aside from an occasional ship's horn, you can block out much of the daytime cacaphony that is directly in front of the hotel. And, in June, what a torrent of tourists there are! They seem to all arrive simultaneously around nine oclock and disappear en masse about 5 o'clock. We'd strongly recommend adopting Italian hours and spending your afternoon in your comfortable room, taking to the streets after five when you can actually see the sights instead of the tourists. You can also have a superb meal in Do Leoni, the first rate restaurant which we'd give the prize for the best food we had in Venice. (And we also ate at the Cipriani--an expensive must and at Le Pisis in the Bauer--also excellent but, to our taste, not really on a par with the marvellous Do Leoni. For something off the tourist track but close to the hotel, try Corte Sconte, a hotel management favorite and our of ours too) The breakfast buffet at the Palace is also good. Special high marks have to go to the Desk staff who could not do enough for us in the way of making reservations and restaurant suggestions. It's an extremely pleasant crew. As to sightseeing, please do not miss the Peggy Guggenheim Museum. We also found the shopping near S. Moise to be on a par with anywhere else we travelled in Italy. Buon Viaggio!
Wonderful Stay, Wonderful Hotel!
We loved the Londra Palace! Excellent friendly check-in. Had been reccommended the Jr. Suite with jacuzzi (#502), but felt it was too dark & I really wanted a balcony. Waited a little while until #416 was cleaned - WOW!!!! A bit smaller room, but still a Jr. Suite beautifully decorated - with a 30 foot long balcony overlooking the lagoon, gondolas, St. Giorgio,... just gorgeous. Spent every night on our balcony with a bottle of wine sent up from the bar. Huge in-room Continental breakfast (8E more for room delivery). Only the front rooms on floor 4 have these large balconies - a few on a lower floor have smaller ones. Staff was very kind & helpful - arranged a water taxi tour of the Grand Canal & back conals that was fabulous - we loved every minute here & did not want to leave.
Room with a View....
We stayed for two nights in early April and the hotel more than lived up to it's reviews here. We don't normally spend as much on a hotel room, but a trip to Venice is the exception. We had a junior suite on the first floor and the views of the lagoon first thing in the morning were fantastic.
The hotel's location couldn't be bettered with everything nearby and the water bus stop, San Zaccharia, was a few metres away.
Staff were very friendly and accomodating, nothing was too much trouble.
Loved the style
We stayed four nights in late March 2004 and had a beautifully decorated & furnished room on the 4th Floor with a large terrace and superb views over the lagoon to St Georgio's and to the right to Salute.
The location cannot be bettered, with the whole of Venice within easy access, the water taxi bringing you within 30 yards of the hotel entrance.
We dined in the elegant restaurant, De Leoni, on two evenings and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. For something more basic the restaurant next door at the Pensions Wildner is also highly recommended.
After a busy day sightseeing, the terrace bar is a pleasant place to spend time.
The levels of service was very good-our only complaint being that breakfast is a little basic-with even a boiled egg being charged as an extra.
Lunch at one of the many Grand Canal side restaurants near Rialto is also recommended.
Loved it
this hotel was very nice. the room was beautiful and what a view! we were upgraded and had a balcony over looking the grand canal. every afternoon we could stand out there and people watch and drink wine. the room was pretty and comfortable. the staff was very friendly. they couldnt do enough for you. this hotel is in walking distance to san marco's church which is breath taking. its so beautiful. the water taxi is right outside the hotel so you dont have to lug your luggage very far when coming into and leaving venice. i highly recommend this hotel.
Incredible food
The restaurant was incredible (we did not stay in the hotel, unfortunately)! The prix fixe offerings were extremely well thought out and excellent in taste, quality and presentation. The service was some of the best we have ever experienced. I can't wait to go back (and hopefully stay at the hotel this time!).
Nice way to end our trip
We had an awesome experience at the Londra Palace. This hotel definately meets the 4 star criteria that Americans are typically used to in a hotel in the U.S. This was not true for hotels we had stayed at earlier in our trip. The rooms are little small, but very well appointed. Beautiful marble bathrooms and bathrobes are a nice touch.
After a hectic journey through Rome, Florence, and Sienna the Londra Palace left a us with a very nice final impression in Italy. Venice is an expensive city, but you get your money's worth at this hotel. The staff is very attentive and knowledgable. Rooms also come with the best breakfast we had throughout Italy. Although our room did not have a water view (much more expensive) we did have tranquil view from the 5th floor looking out on Venice. Location of the hotel is also ideal for tourist activities.
First class hotel
Beautiful room, excellent service and a very good restaurant.
First Class Hotel
The Londra Palace could not have been better. The reception staff and waiters were all charming and helpful. Our room on the 5th (top) floor had a fantastic view over the lagoon to St Giorgio Maggiore and I spent ages just staring out of the windows watching all the boats going past.
The room was large with a big, comfortable, double bed and antique furniture. The restaurant seemed expensive at first so on our first evening we went out to find somewhere else. We ended up having quite a good meal but when we tried the hotel the next evening we had a meal that was three times as nice but only cost 30% more. The hotel is only a few minutes walk from St Mark's Square and the water buses are even closer. We found that by getting out of the hotel by 7am we could wander around for 2 hours or so without being bothered by crowds and then come back for a good breakfast. We stayed 5 nights there and did not want to leave. It is not the cheapest hotel in Venice but I would recommend it to anyone

Or last day in Venice – sigh. After breakfast we caught the vaporetto to the Rialto Bridge and spent some time wandering around the fish market. We then walked through the Canareggio sestiere to reach Fondamente Novo where we hopped on another vaporetto to Burano.

Quick update
20 hours flying and those that didn't avail themselves of chemical assistance to sleep have lost their sense of humour. Is this folly we ask? We are a couple of hours out from Rome. From there it's on to Venice. The thought of Venice picks me up and breakfast will help too. Singapore Air still does real food & it's nice. Watch this space. Later: waiting in Rome ...

text: Microsoft should drop XAML like a .... Rory Blythe makes a great post and people respond. XAML is just markup and although incredibly important to allow tools to declaratively put Content, UI and Media together it really isn't that interesting by itself. The really interesting stuff in Longhorn can be found if you look at the underlying .NET classes that XAML wires together, look at the Avalon functionality not the markup, look at the WinFS functionality for storage and Indigo for communication. When I look at the complete set of functionality in WinFX I get really excited by what Longhorn is going to bring. Looking at individual parts of Longhorn in isolation is like having your eyes just one inch from a 42" high definition television screen you see lots of great little dots and maybe can make out part of the picture but you don't see the big picture and it is really difficult to understand the story being told by the TV show.

Cold, wet winter tough on specks
Published: Tuesday, April 13, 2010 at 10:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 13, 2010 at 10:41 a.m.
NEW ORLEANS — In the 20 years Buggy Vegas has been master of Bridgeside Marina on Grand Isle he has seen a lot. Tons of fish, tons of fishermen and more than a few hurricanes, among other things. But recently his eyes took in one of his most memorable sights, ever.
"I saw my first ice chest filled with speckled trout in so long, I almost forgot what that looked like," Buggy said, no hint of sarcasm in the voice of a man who must have seen tens of thousands of ice chests filled with specks. "I mean, that was a beautiful thing."
The wonder and relief in Buggy's voice was shared by a handful of other veteran marina owners across southeast Louisiana as solid catches of speckled trout were placed on their docks. What could make men who live in the heart of the most productive speckled trout habitat in the world act like rookies reeling in their first specks?
A couple of things:
-- There's something in the genetic code of anglers that makes us suspect the worst, always. Maybe it's our pride; if we can't catch fish, something must be to blame.
-- We've just come through one of the coldest, wettest most wind-ravaged winters in the history of the state.
- -We're forgetting just how much climate change is already affecting our fishing lives.
There's nothing we can do about that first item, except admit it. Now on to Items 2 and 3.
For the last two months many marina owners, as well as some anglers, have been living with a quiet fear. They worried that our hard December freeze might have taken a toll on speckled trout. In the days after the ice melted there were confirmed reports of anglers, shrimpers and crabbers pulling up thousands of dead or stunned white trout and black drum. So, even though the state Department of Wildlife and Fisheries had no reports of similar mortality on specks, the worry continued.
"Probably because we have had so many warm winters lately, we all forgot what a real winter is supposed to feel like," said Robert Campo of Campo's Shell Beach Marina.
"For the last few years, we've been catching specks right on through January, February and March. But, really, when you go back, that's not the way it usually was. Usually, we didn't catch many specks until we got into April."
Campo was right.
Barry Keim, the LSU professor who is also the state climatologist, said the long-term average temperature for March in Louisiana has been 62.4 degrees, with average highs of 72 and average lows 52.
But this winter the average March temperature was 57.8 degrees.
"In 25 of the 31 days in March, the average temperature was below normal," Keim said. "That is really remarkable. It tells you just how cold March was."
That five-degree difference in average daily temperature is significant.
"Specks will start to spawn when water temperatures start staying between 68 and 70," said Harry Blanchet, coastal fisheries coordinator for the DWF. "That's why we usually start seeing our first real speck spawn sometime in mid to late April."
The agency doesn't see much speck fishing results until April, either.
"Typically, we don't see a lot of results in a creel survey in March," Blanchet said. "The average catch-per-unit-effort in March for spotted sea trout is only around two or three fish."
So the long-term record — which goes back decades — indicates March is a slow month for speck fishing, and it's probably because water temperatures in March traditionally remain below the 58-degrees, the magic mark which many speck specialists say prompts specks to begin moving and feeding. For water temperatures to stay at or above 58 degrees, the air temperature has to be much warmer most of the 24-hour period — and that never happened this March.
But last year temperatures in our region were as much as six degrees above normal. Speck anglers saw the results.
"This time last year I had already caught 2,000 specks," said Dudley Vandenborre, a guide and lure-maker who specializes in specks, especially in Lake Pontchartrain. "This year I don't have 200."
And as any duck or deer hunter can tell you, over the last decade our so-called "cold weather months" virtually disappeared until last winter. So specks, which are very sensitive to water temperatures, have been staying much more active than had been the case until the warm-up.
Of course, a few other non-typical weather patterns added to the speck anglers winter fishing woes. Those constant fronts brought plenty of rain, which caused high rivers to flood many sections of the marshes with cold, fresh water, a combination neither specks nor their prime food sources really like. And the brutal winds that seemed to have been blowing almost daily create muddy conditions and some super low tides.
All in all, not a good winter for speck fishing. But, then, that's how it used to always be.
As Robert Campo said, we just got back to the old normal this winter.
And that's why those first speck-filled ice chests were such a wonderful sight.

text: Posted February 25, 2009 Here is another clue... People could afford those houses before they were laid off. I don't think that tells the whole story. The housing market collapse started before large numbers of people got laid off. The Unemployment rate when Bear Sterns collapsed was at 5%, about the same as it was in 2006 when Wachovia bought Golden West. Many people were flipping houses, and when they couldn't flip them anymore, they let the banks take them, and from what I understand, thats what got things rolling downhill.

New London — About 10 years ago, Russ DiNoto's Christmas tree outgrew him.
DiNoto, 64, a retired New London police officer and former chairman of the now-defunct New London Neighborhood Association, moved into his house on Washington Street in 1997 — the 1763 William Coit House — where an evergreen tree stood at just a little taller than 6 feet.
DiNoto said he used to host an annual Christmas tree-lighting party for the neighborhood, stringing the tree with lights and handing out ornaments for the children to decorate. He would bake cookies and have hot cocoa ready, even wear a Santa suit.
But when the tree grew too tall, DiNoto had to stop.
"It was too high for me to decorate," he said.
Now, towering at about 50 feet, DiNoto's tree stands on Parade Plaza in downtown New London, where Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio joined a large crowd of residents Saturday night to officially light the tree for New London Main Street's annual Celebration of Lights and Song.
Main Street had recently cut its $2,500 budget for the holiday event down to $250. DiNoto, a lifelong New London resident, said when he heard about the budget woes, he decided to chip in.
"I thought, let me do something nice for the city of New London," he said. "So I called everybody and I said, I have a big tree."
DiNoto said with the help of a crane and a bucket truck, his tree was transported downtown, where it found new admirers in the audience of revelers, milling about the skating rink Saturday night just before the big event in scarves, coats and the occasional Santa hat.
Carols old and new wafted from the sound system; the ISAAC School Swing Choir gathered beside the tree, ready to take over with their multicultural holiday tribute to Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa.
DiNoto readied his camera phone just before 5 p.m. as Finizio prepared to flip a switch on an adjacent lamppost wired up to the tree, joined by Santa Claus and a cast of holiday characters from the Eastern Connecticut Ballet — the Sugar Plum Fairy and Nutcracker.
Admiring the trimming handiwork — "It's beautiful," he said — DiNoto admitted he missed the days of being able to hold the celebration in his own yard, a tradition he said "kept the neighborhood together."
"It's a little sad, but giving to New London is better," he said. "It makes my heart feel good."
Finizio took the microphone in hand, moments before the tree would light up impressively golden and bright.
"And so, without further ado, for Christmas 2012, let there be light," Finizio said to a round of applause. "Happy holidays, and Merry Christmas."

MIAMI (AP) - Authorities say the owner of a West Palm Beach real
estate title company has been sentenced to five years in prison for
her part in a a mortgage fraud scheme.
Federal prosecutors say Evelyn Rivera, a licensed title agent
and owner of Asset Title LLC, received her sentence on Friday.
Rivera had previously pleaded guilty to participating in a scheme
to net $18.5 million from fraudulent mortgages on 55 Fort
Lauderdale condominium units.
Authorities discovered the fraud after about $690,000 in fraudulent mortgage loans had been issued on two units.
Mike Acosta, a licensed property appraiser, and William Louisma, a recruiter of straw buyers, were also convicted for their roles in the scheme.
Acosta was sentenced to 41 months in prison, and Louisma was sentenced to 46 months.
