Testing reveals life-altering results: Judith has incurable cancer. She will soon become blind, and death will inevitably follow.

The Truth Right In Front Of Us
Block parties take place in neighborhoods across America every summer. After all, everyone on the street can relate to each other: happy children, full-time jobs, family dinners, weekends spent at the dog park or soccer field. But New York City's Park Avenue set follows different rules, depending on which half you live. The mega-rich reside on Park Avenue's Upper East Side—the wealthiest neighborhood in all of New York City. Take a leisurely stroll ten minutes up the block to the South Bronx, however, and the neighborhood sights, sounds, and smells will leave you wondering how only ten minutes mean the difference between luxury and lower income.
Independent Lens brings you Park Avenue: Money, Power & The American Dream, a shocking exploration of the extreme disparity in quality of life along one avenue. On one side live billionaires while. on the other side. forty percent of residents live in poverty. Park Avenue in the South Bronx is America's poorest congressional district, plaqued by unemployment, crime, and failing schools. Yet these residents can literally see the "other side", the so-called "better side", from their windows. So close physically, with dreams of putting truth to the The Jefferson's theme song lyrics, "moving on up to the East Side".
But actually making the move to the other side is not as simple as America naively preaches. Sometimes achieving the American Dream demands more than hard work, determination, and a hearty dose of "American spirit". Park Avenue: Money, Power & The American Dream looks at the invisible barricade that divides rich from poor and powerful from oppressed on both sides of Park Avenue.

On Friday, Oct. 11, the Wallenpaupack Area School District will be conducting Active Shooter Drills in their school buildings in conjunction with the PA State Police and the recently formed Wallenpaupack Area Police Department.
Joann Hudak, Assistant Superintendent, said that students will not be participating in the drills. The drills were planned for an in-service day for staff, when students are not at school.
The exercise is designed to validate and improve the School District's response to a crisis situation, Hudak stated. Law enforcement, emergency responders and school officials will simulate armed intruder(s) at each school building during the day. Although they are drills, the response will be as authentic as possible.
Area residents may notice increased presence of law enforcement and emergency response vehicles in addition to hearing alarms, simulated gunshots or other loud noises. "Therefore, we want to make sure all area residents are aware of the exercise in advance," Hudak stated. "We ask for your patience if these exercises disrupt your daily routine."
Hudak expressed thanks to area residents in support of what she described as an important exercise. She invited anyone with questions to contact her at 570-226-4557, ext. 3000 or via email, email@example.com.

Hello, thank you all for your great effort in PSM.
I have just installed it tonight, after looking through countless media servers to be able to stream video with external .SRT subtitles to my Philips 40PFL6606H/12 TV set.
For the subtitles, it works like a charm, PSM detected the Philips TV as renderer and the video shows with great looking subs - no problem there.
The thing is, the video skips. Not just frames, but it skips forward from one time position to another. While playing, everything plays smooth and the subs are transcoded correctly.
The network: Linksys WRT54GL router, Philips TV connected via ethernet, two laptops with Windows 7 and PSM connected via WiFi (802.11g - signal excellent). I tried installing and streaming from both laptops, the skipping happens in both cases. I can see that the processor usage runs high when transcoding, but never stays at 100% (most of the time at 85-90%).
Could someone point me to the right direction to resolve the skipping of the movie/tv episode? I was testing on both laptops with [mod]link removed[/mod]
Thanks and all best.

SAN JOSE -- Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig has brushed back San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed's formal request last week for a personal meeting to resolve issues holding up the Oakland A's desired move to his city.
And Selig in his April 4 response added that Reed's reference in an April 2 letter to "additional litigation" over the proposed A's move "is neither productive nor consistent with process that the Athletics have initiated under our rules."
Selig wrote that the committee he appointed more than four years ago to study the A's plan for a downtown San Jose ballpark has been in "frequent contact" with the city.
"If you believe there is additional information that Major League Baseball should consider in completing its assessment," Selig wrote, "the best way to proceed at this time continues to be for you to contact Robert Starkey or other members of the committee."
Reed said Wednesday that he would follow the commissioner's suggestion to set up a meeting with Starkey, a sports consultant and former accountant who had worked with Selig on stadium issues for the Minnesota Twins. Reed called it encouraging to get a response from the commissioner.
"It's movement, it's a little something," Reed said. "I'd just like to have that conversation. What are the problems?"
The major holdup has been that baseball had granted the San Francisco Giants, the reigning World Series champions, territorial rights to Santa Clara County back in the 1990s, when the team was considering a new San Jose-area ballpark to replace the frigid, windy Candlestick Park. The Giants claim they relied on the promise of controlling the Silicon Valley market to build their self-financed AT&T Park on the San Francisco waterfront, now in its 13th season.
The Athletics dispute that claim, arguing the Giants' territorial rights to Santa Clara County were only intended to support the team's failed efforts in the early 1990s to build a San Jose-area ballpark. The two teams previously had shared the Bay Area market. A's co-owner Lew Wolff said he turned to San Jose after exhausting options within the team's territory in Oakland and Fremont.
The Giants' minor-league affiliate in San Jose has led a 2011 lawsuit challenging San Jose's environmental studies of the proposed downtown ballpark near HP Pavilion and Diridon rail station.
But San Jose officials have been loudly suggesting lately that if the impasse continues, San Jose also could sue over the Giants' interference with the city's economic development rights and challenge Major League Baseball's long-standing but unusual antitrust exemption. Councilman Sam Liccardo, who represents downtown, said lawyers have offered to handle such a case at no city cost, but city officials have held off, citing Wolff's desire to work with the process laid out by the commissioner, his former fraternity brother.
But San Jose officials note that antitrust litigation helped the Tampa Bay region eventually acquire a team in the 1990s -- the Rays -- after league officials blocked a proposed move by the Giants to the area.
A host of issues other than the Giants' territory also complicate the proposed A's move to San Jose. Neither San Jose nor the A's fully control the proposed ballpark site. Much of the land is privately owned by unwilling sellers, and Gov. Jerry Brown's elimination of redevelopment agencies has further complicated the city's effort to sell the rest to the A's. San Jose requires a public vote to approve a stadium involving public money. And Oakland continues to propose alternatives to keep the team, whose fan base has been invigorated by the A's 2012 American League West title.
The MLB committee's other members are Corey Busch, a sports consultant and former San Francisco Giants executive who had worked on the team's Santa Clara County ballpark efforts, and Irwin Raij, a lawyer who handled ballpark deals for the Washington Nationals and Florida Marlins.
Selig concluded his response to Reed by stating that "whatever decision is ultimately made will take into consideration all of the information that we have received and will be in the best interest of baseball."

WASHINGTON (March 21, 2013)--Congress spared the military's tuition assistance program from the budget knife as the U.S. House cleared a bill Thursday to keep the government running that includes a provision reversing the decision by the Army, Air Force and Marine Corps to suspend the program.
Faced with some $43 billion in automatic cuts that kicked in March 1, the military abandoned the program that pays as much as $250 per semester hour for active duty personnel, or as much as $4,500 per year.
The Pentagon said the move would save $250 million to $300 million, but Oklahoma Republican Sen. Jim Inhofe and North Carolina Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan fought to spare the program.
By voice vote Wednesday, the Senate backed an amendment instructing the Pentagon to find the money for the program.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- It's not even been a full two months into the new year and the Augusta area has already witnessed several murders.
But instead of letting it beat them down, this group is ready to push back -- fighting youth violence with community support.
"We don't have to be superstars to be good role models ... basically, you can just be a good role model by taking care of your business," said Travis Wright, co-founder of the anti-violence group.
Wright and three friends decided they were tired of hearing about crimes and feeling helpless.
"When we said enough was enough was when we noticed that the age trend started to go down, down, down," he said. "And I've got a son that just turned 16."
In response, they formed Live and Let Live CSRA "to be kind of like a Yellow Pages for mentorship groups, for people that are already active in the community," Wright said.
And they're growing as they work with groups already out there trying to curb the violence.
"I don't want to click my heels for victory just yet until we get to December and notice that that death toll is far lower than last year," Wright said. "That's the ultimate goal is to actually make a dent, to make a difference."
This meeting brought together a panel of community leaders, each representing a group that provides mentorship for at-risk teens.
And these community leaders know just how much these issues effect their neighborhoods.
"It has hit home. I've lost a first cousin a few years ago. He was about 30 years old, but he was killed by a young man that was 15. A senseless murder."
"I've had friends murdered," said group member Garrick Willingham.

Armed with 46 pages of questions, prosecutor Tim McInerny on Thursday continued cross-examining a former SiPort engineer, poking holes in his claim that he shot his bosses to death in a moment of madness.
The engineer, Jing Hua Wu, insists he wasn't angry at his three bosses for firing him in November 2008, merely in despair about his financial situation. He intended to kill himself in front of them when the gun went off, wounding his immediate supervisor. Then, Wu has said, he went into a fugue state. He testified a day earlier that he can't remember shooting them to death in the office of the Santa Clara startup, and has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.
But McInerny relentlessly hammered away at that explanation Thursday, suggesting that Wu couldn't stand his immediate supervisor, Brian Pugh, and intentionally killed him, as well as office manager Marilyn Lewis and CEO Sid Agrawal, out of long-simmering rage.
"You felt Brian Pugh was always looking over your shoulder, checking your work," the prosecutor asked. "You told (a co-worker) that Brian Pugh was 'a liar, not an honest man.' ... You told a doctor he was a 'very mean man' and that he did not show 'very upright behavior, like a thief.' "
Wu was humiliated when Pugh repeatedly claimed he missed deadlines for testing HD radio chips, the prosecutor said, building the case that Wu was fired for cause, not unfairly as he has insisted. Pugh also reassigned some of Wu's work to junior employees and refused to hire engineers Wu recommended, McInerny said.
In a particularly bizarre incident, Wu brought one of his 6-year-old twin boys with him to Teradyne's testing center in San Jose, then parked the child in the cafeteria alone for hours. Teradyne's regional manager warned Wu not to do it again, but Wu brought the boy in with him again a couple of days later anyway.
Wu wound up locking his son in the car briefly with the windows rolled up despite the 90-degree heat, prompting the manager to call police. Once again, Pugh upbraided Wu, this time for jeopardizing SiPort's relationship with Teradyne, McInerny said.
Pugh also wrote an email to Agrawal, Lewis and another executive, detailing the engineer's threatening comments to him shortly after Pugh told Wu he was being let go. The threats were made just hours before Wu left SiPort to buy bullets, came back and committed one of Silicon Valley's worst workplace killings.
According to McInerny, Wu vowed that Pugh "would not escape from Earth and that he should go to hell."

'The Fault in Our Stars' Takes In $8.2 Million Thursday Night
If early box office results are any indication, "The Fault in Our Stars" is pushing "Edge of Tomorrow" off a cliff.
The teen romance "Fault," based on a popular novel by John Green, grossed $8.2 million from screenings Thursday night. That's similar to the Thursday night debuts of recent blockbusters like "Godzilla" and "X-Men: Days of Future Past" that cost more than $150 million to make. "Fault" cost 20th Century Fox only about $12 million.
The initial box office total included some special screenings that featured Q&A with stars Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort, along with Mr. Green, for which tickets cost $25. But Chris Aronson, Fox's president of domestic distribution, said "by far the majority" of receipts came from regularly priced showings that started at 9 p.m.
With such a strong early start, "Fault in Our Stars" is likely to have an opening weekend total of well over $40 million, which would make it a very profitable hit.
The news was grim for "Edge of Tomorrow," starring Tom Cruise. Despite strong reviews, the science-fiction adventure collected just $1.8 million Thursday night, making earlier predictions that it would open to less than $30 million for the weekend appear prescient. The movie cost Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow Pictures $175 million to make, or about 15 times as much as "The Fault in Our Stars."

No. 1 Cal tied the rugby match with six minutes left on a try by Seamus Kelly and conversion by Jake Anderson before BYU's Jonny Linehan kicked a 17-meter drop goal at the end of injury time to win the Varsity Cup national title for the Cougars 27-24 on Saturday in Provo, Utah.
"They were a big, strong team with a great crowd behind them," Cal flanker Alec Gletzer said.
Kelly's try in the 74th minute tied it 24-24. Russell Webb and Jack O'Beirne had Cal's other tries.

When young Karen (Shields) is murdered on the day of her first communion, her sister Alice becomes the prime suspect. The killer, dressed in a yellow rain coat and a plastic mask, continues to terrorize the inhabitants of an apartment building, causing the audience to question if a 12 year old girl can really be capable of murder. The film was released three separate times, under three different titles.

Butler is one of nine West Virginia artisan entrepreneurs who are collaborating with the Tamarack Foundation to sharpen their marketing skills and expand their businesses at the buyers market. The 2012 show attracted representatives from more than 1,200 galleries and more than 30 media companies from the United States and Canada, according to a press release.
Butler's new collection "Avenue B" will be unveiled at the Philadelphia market. The collection includes feminine skirts, reversible belts, resort shirts, infinity scarves and clutch purses available in 11 new fabric designs.
"I am excited" about attending the national trade show in Philadelphia, she said. Butler said she is inspired by her love for contemporary fashion and vintage textiles. She likes her design fabrics to be lightweight silk and cotton twill and likes organic cotton.
She designs and prints the tags for her clothing line and accessories. Her mother, Barbara Robinson of Marietta, helps Butler with the sewing for her business.
Butler exhibited her creations in the "Women in Fiber: from Craft to Art" at the Hermann Fine Arts Center Gallery at Marietta College, has made costumes for the theater department at Marietta College and has done wedding dress alterations.
Butler recently won the "Made in West Virginia" award for fashion and accessories from WV Living Magazine. She lives in Williamstown with her husband and four children. She is a graphic designer with Stonewall Marketing in Marietta. More information on her line is available at nikkibutlerdesign.com.

You'd probably noticed that these weekly reviews occasionally provide glimpses of higher-end automobiles that, on the whole, might not exactly be the first ride of choice for regular county folks - I do apologize, sort of, though I also have a feeling you'd be bored out of your tree reading about Subaru Outbacks or Chevy Cruzes every week of the year.
That said, I recently had an experience with a truck that looked, from the outside, like the most austere thing I'd been given to review in years.
And I fell in love with a stripper.
Back in the old days, that was the lingo for the model found hidden in the back corner of the car lot, devoid of fancy options like the chromed wheels, the high-end stereo and the heated leather seats - the automobile you see pictured as the lowest-priced example in the Denver weekend ads. In short, not really all that appealing.
When a 2013 Ram 1500 Tradesman Crew Cab arrived, with plain-jane steel wheels and center caps, a black plastic bumper and grille assembly and - hell, even a curious rotating knob on the console instead of a shift lever, I was a bit perplexed.
What would I learn from the equivalent of a fleet truck, a work vehicle more likely to be repainted with a school district's or an HVAC company's logo and filled up with toolboxes and 7-Eleven sandwich wrappers?
Quite a bit, it turns out. If a relatively basic version of a popular vehicle is as well-sorted and powerful - and reasonably comfortable, as well - as its potentially much more expensive, high-end variations, the company's probably doing the right thing.
For $35,675, my Ram might not have had the chrome, the leather seats or the sophisticated navigation systems found on the flashier models (or the Escalade-like flash of the Laramie Longhorn), but it had all the heart that it needed.
Instead of the impressive but borderline insane 5.7-liter Hemi V8, mine had a 3.6-liter V6 - no slouch, at 305 horsepower and 269 foot-pounds of torque, all from a regular, non-turbocharged engine blessed with intelligent variable valve timing.
That means you get a healthy percentage of the larger engine's power (only 5 horsepower less than the mid-line 4.7-liter V8) and trailer-pulling torque, but I also got more than 23 mpg in regular combined use. That's the same as the highway figure the EPA puts on the window sticker.
Consider that my Ram was still a commodious crew cab, and a full-fledged 4x4, and that's not too shabby. You can comfortably cruise on a lower-altitude freeway at 75 mph on those 17-inch tires, and you can electronically engage the 4x4 system on the fly, or slow down and drop it into 4-low for a little off-road action.
The new eight-speed transmission, optimized for more fuel savings, does indeed take a little getting used to when managed by a rotating knob on the dash - kind of like a vertical version of Jaguar's horizontal control. But you have the option of manually selecting gears for long uphill climbs or descents, using controls on the wheel. Your brain just takes a bit of retraining to stop grabbing for three on the tree.
Come to think of it, I kind of liked the stripped-down look, as well. That black grille is extra ominous, and probably not quite as prone to worksite disfiguration as a massive chrome number, and the wheels are so straightforward as to make the truck look a bit different. I could only find a couple with similar footwear at a local dealer.
Cab room is spacious and the cloth seats still big and supportive; in the back, the rear bench seat swivels up to allow you to load the floor with goods, or you can also secure your valuables in a tray that's hidden under the seat.
In the back, the same aerodynamic, wedge-shaped tailgate is in full effect (a look that General Motors stole for its new trucks), and an industrial-grade, sprayed-in bedliner was standard.
As for the modern age of a stereo with no CD player, you can sync your iPod or phone (or even plug a flash drive into the USB slot in the massive center console box), or listen to XM satellite radio.

ATLANTA — The latest entry into David Akers' rickety season came when he missed his only field-goal attempt Sunday for the 49ers, failing to tie the score on a 38-yard attempt.
Akers' kick clanked off the top of the left upright in the third quarter of the 49ers' eventual 28-24, NFC-title win over the host Atlanta Falcons.
"It's a game of inches, one way or the other," Akers said. "I struck the ball well and it clangs on top of the goal past. If you figure that one out, let me know."
Asked if he figures to still have his job Feb. 3 when the 49ers play in the Super Bowl in New Orleans, Akers replied: "I'm here until they tell me otherwise."
Akers spoke to reporters outside the locker room and expressed admiration for how well the 49ers persevered on a "very special day."
After missing 13 of 42 field-goal attempts in the regular season, the 49ers signed Billy Cundiff on Jan. 1 to compete with Akers, who retained his job and made his only field-goal attempt in a Jan. 12 playoff-opening win. Cundiff was released Friday.

Demographics Market Research Reports & Industry Analysis
You can also use demographic market research reports to assist in characterizing a specific demographic profile. Creating a profile will provide information about a typical member for a certain group to aid in creating a visual of a hypothetical target market. As an example, a marketer may focus on members of a population that are male, single, between the ages of 17-24, and college educated.
Demographics are the traits of a selected human population. Demographic trends can be determined through data consisting of age, disability, race, gender, income, mobility, home ownership, location, employment status, and/or education level. By utilizing this trends data, you can analyze changes in a particular population over a specified period of time. You can use this data to assist with economic and marketing decisions in industries such as public policy or sociology.

Always in a Tiz will not run in Saturday's Grade 1, $1 million Belmont Stakes on June 8 at Belmont Park and instead will compete in the $150,000 Easy Goer Stakes on the undercard, according to The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) racing office.
Trained by Dominick Schettino for owners Brooklyn Boyz Stable and MeB Stables, Always in a Tiz has one win in five starts and was ninth in the Grade 1 Wood Memorial on April 6 at Aqueduct Racetrack in his most recent start.
With Always in a Tiz out of consideration for the Belmont Stakes, the racing office says 14 horses are likely to enter in the 1 ½-mile race. The last time there were 14 starters in the Belmont Stakes was 1996. NYRA will use a single starting gate if 14 or fewer horses compete in the race.

Daimler CEO Isn't Investing in Tesla's Giga-Factory
BEIJING — Daimler Chief Executive Dieter Zetsche says he'd never disregard an idea from Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk. But Daimler won't be an investor in Mr. Musk's concept of building a huge, electric car battery "giga-factory," Mr. Zetsche said.
Daimler owns a small stake in Tesla, and has worked with the Silicon Valley luxury car maker on battery technology.
But Mr. Zetsche, in a meeting with reporters at the Beijing Auto Show on Sunday, expressed skepticism about the giga-factory project, suggesting now isn't the time to plow money into producing lithium-ion batteries.
"A question is, when do you realistically see the next-generation batteries," Mr. Zetsche said. "Lithium air, lithium sulfur? No one has the answer to the next generation."
As for lithium-ion batteries, he said, "it might be late for that kind of investment."
Mr. Musk has been searching for sites in the western U.S. for the factory, which he has said could cost up to $5 billion and produce enough batteries to power 500,000 Tesla vehicles a year.

The Virtue Crown Lidless feed system is the best way to get paint in to your paintball hopper and keep it there. The hinged finger design lets the paint in but not out. You don't have to open a lid, just pour the balls straight from you pod and in to the hopper. You can even shake the hopper upside down and the balls stay put.
The Crowns are available in 3 styles:
Halo Style: Fits Odyssey Halo, ViewLoader Revolution, Empire Reloader, Empire Magna, Pulse, ViewLoader Force, or ViewLoader Eye Force Hoppers.
VLocity Style: Fits ViewLoader VLocity paintball hoppers.
VLocity Jr Style: Fits the ViewLoader VLocity Jr paintball loaders.
Each of these styles comes in a Standard or UltraSoft version. The standard version lets the paint in and lets NO paintballs out. Even with a vigorous upside down shake of your gun, you're not going to lose any paint. Perfect for player's that dive in the snake or do a lot of moving and don't want to waste that paint. The UltraSoft version offers the fastest possible reload time by having slightly softer elastomer fingers. Shake your hopper hard though and you might lose a few balls but much less than competitive lidless feeds.
Here are a few videos to see these awesome lids in action:

Daniel Edwards, the pop-culture-obsession skewering/exploiting artist behind the sculpted representation of a crowning Sean Preston Spears that inflicted emotional wounds that might never fully heal, has unveiled his greatest achievement yet: Beating Tom Cruise's suspiciously delayed, baby-related product to market with a bronzed version of Suri's "first poop" that will be simultaneously auctioned for charity on eBay and displayed under glass in a Brooklyn art gallery, which he claims finally proves both the possibly imaginary offspring's existence and its health. Unfortunately, neither the image nor the press release reveals the dimensions of the petrified diaper-snake, leaving us to wonder if it was constructed to a scale that would properly reflect the waste produced by a mutant, 50-foot-tall infant.

It has been quite a week for Tesla Motors (TSLA). The Palo Alto-based electric car company reported that it reached profitability for the first time, saw its stock close at an all-time high, unveiled a new financing program and celebrated the opening of its expanded showroom at San Jose's Santana Row.
And much of the action was driven by CEO Elon Musk's bold, brash and unconventional use of social media. The man who helped change the Internet by cofounding PayPal is proving just as determined to change the rules for how public companies communicate -- even as the Securities and Exchange Commission wrestles with how to bring those rules into the 21st century.
"Elon Musk is a marketing genius, in our view," said Adam Jonas, an analyst who covers Tesla for Morgan Stanley. "A tactful use of social media means a tiny car company has the best-known financing program on the planet. ... Mainstream OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) are being taken to school here."
Greg Sieck, a San Francisco-based brand strategist, likened Musk's image as the Silicon Valley pioneer taking on Detroit and Big Oil to the way Lee Iacocca revitalized Chrysler three decades ago. "People want to be engaged with Tesla, and they want to read Elon's tweets," Sieck said. "He's the voice of the company."
Analysts say Tesla's media approach -- strategic tweets from Musk that build interest in upcoming corporate announcements, creating a steady drip of information -- is unconventional, but largely working.
Fan updates
When Musk publicly took on The New York Times over an unfavorable review, for example, he kept the feud in the news for days while managing to galvanize the Tesla faithful on his behalf. And he keeps customers and fans updated on Tesla's progress with an infectious enthusiasm. "Am happy to report that Tesla was narrowly cash flow positive last week," he tweeted on Dec. 3. "Continued improvement expected through year end."
While traditional automakers spend heavily on print and television advertising, Tesla is building its brand in a way that doesn't cost anything.
"For the past week, a lot of attention has been focused on the company -- probably more than their fair share," said Ben Kallo, an analyst with Robert W. Baird. "When Elon Musk tweets, people write articles speculating about what it is."
The company's stock rose more than 2 percent after Musk tweeted March 25 about a "major" announcement that ended up being the financing program. Wall Street was actually more excited about the tweet than about the news itself, which was followed by a drop in Tesla's stock, but Musk nonetheless succeeded in bringing a spotlight to an unsexy sales technique.
Musk has more than 176,000 followers on Twitter, and he deftly uses the social media platform to dish out tidbits about the three companies he's currently involved in: SpaceX, Tesla and SolarCity. It helps that Musk is an esoteric billionaire who dreams of sending humans to Mars.
In a way, Musk's Silicon Valley celebrity is akin to that of Netflix (NFLX) CEO Reed Hastings, who has similarly built a company with a fiercely loyal customer base and plenty of media buzz. Hastings, too, has pushed the boundaries when it comes to social media; last summer, he posted a Facebook message when his movie-rental juggernaut hit a customer milestone.
Netflix stock surged, and the SEC in December threatened to fine Hastings for not disclosing the news through a news release or a regulatory filing. Last week, though, the SEC issued a report saying it was acceptable for companies and CEOs to disseminate news via social media, so long as investors are given a heads-up first via the more traditional channels.
While many pundits viewed that as a green light for Hastings and others, Patrick Quick, a securities attorney in Foley & Lardner's Milwaukee office, said social media use by CEOs is still fraught with potential land mines.
"Do we really want to tell investors that at any given moment, we could disclose material information in any of these four or five ways, so you'd better watch all five?" he asked.
Quick also suggested that Musk's cryptic March tweet about a big announcement could be deemed even more egregious in the SEC's eyes than Hastings' Facebook posting about the specific milestone.
"SEC rules say, in effect, if you're going to disclose news about a subject, you have to disclose fully about it," he said. The fact that the stock market reacted to the tweet only makes it more likely regulators may crack down on Musk's vague missive, he said.
Mark Waxman, a marketing expert at consulting firm CBIZ in San Jose, also cautioned that Musk's strategy risks investor fatigue. "Promising a news release a week breaks a cardinal rule of media relations: To only promote when you have something worthwhile to say," he said.
Popular stock
Indeed, Tesla's stock, which closed Friday at $41.37, has doubters who are "shorting" the stock, or betting against its rise. But the stock is also popular with retail investors who follow news headlines but may not have dug into the company's SEC filings.
Theo O'Neill, managing director of Litchfield Hills Research, is among those who argue Tesla's social media strategy is paying off. O'Neil said that while other electric vehicle companies have faltered, Tesla is actually producing cars in increasingly higher volumes -- something that many doubted Musk could pull off.
He compared the coverage of Tesla to the coverage of Fisker Automotive, a venture-backed company that has struggled to produce its luxury Karma and appears to be spiraling toward bankruptcy.
"If Fisker Automotive had figured it out," said O'Neil, "we'd all be paying attention to Henrik Fisker."

I am working with a CNC vendor that uses DXF files to drive their machine. I would like to be able to optimize the draw order property in order to reduce machine time. I see that it can be done manually, but that is a time consuming process.
Is there a function or method in Qcad that will re-order entities in a block or selection (say, clockwise from the top-left)?
QCAM/CAD does a reasonable job of optimization, but doesn't generate DXF output. Is there an existing script that could create DXF output instead of Gcode?

Owls nesting at Stump Pass State Park
Published: Thursday, March 14, 2013 at 3:15 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 14, 2013 at 3:15 p.m.
ENGLEWOOD - Manasota Key birder and photographer Al Baker photographed a pair of Great Horned owlets in their nest at Stump Pass State Park on the morning of March 9.
CLICK HERE to see more of Al Baker's photos of the great horned owlets.
Baker writes, "The great horned owlets are about 6 to 7 weeks old, with a few days difference in age between them. The older of the two fledged 2 days prior and had been seen perching in trees adjacent to the nest. When I arrived Saturday morning a little before 8 a.m., I was surprised to see the fledgling back in the nest with its younger sibling. Shortly after I arrived, the fledgling flew out to a nearby tree, just as the mom flew in. Upon mom's arrival, the fledgling came right back, hoping it was time for breakfast. Mom stayed for about 10 minutes and fed both, apparently by regurgitating food from her mouth (my viewing was blocked by the nest). While one was feeding, the other would fly back and forth to the branch on the right. Once both were fed, mom turned and flew away. The next morning, both owlets had fledged and were seen together in the top of a tree about 100 yards from the nest."

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Reggie McKenzie and Mark Davis weren't selling a Raiders miracle quick-fix two years ago at the start of this, and they sure aren't doing it now, either.
This is still about slow and at times painful progress, even though the Raiders general manager and owner entered this offseason with almost $60 million of salary-cap room.
Yes, the "reconstruction" of the Raiders was scheduled to start a little while ago, and it was theoretically going to be amazing to behold.
But the massive rebuilding project has hit a few bumps and -- surprise -- there still might be even more "deconstruction" to go.
Monday, despite their hit-and-miss early free agent period, McKenzie and Davis sounded optimistic about the work they've done, but they also were buckled down for a lot more grueling days -- or years -- to come.
"It didn't go 100 percent, but I got some things answered, put it that way," McKenzie said, referring to the Raiders' losing Jared Veldheer and Lamarr Houston and signing several established veterans in free agency this month.
"Getting the addition of some key position players, depth, leadership ... some of those things went well.
"I don't like losing my own players, but it happened. So I moved on."
During an earlier break at the NFL annual meetings here, Davis redirected most football questions to his G.M. and generally said things were going "pretty well."
But when I asked Davis which players he can count as long-term foundation pieces for the Raiders' rebuild, Davis conceded that he couldn't immediately think of many.
"That's a good question," Davis said. "I'd have to think about that ...
"Foundation guys -- guys that are what people would look at and say, 'That's a Raider.' I don't know. It would be hard to say.
"(Fullback) Marcel Reece is a leader of this team; he's a captain of this team. But we'll see. I'll have to answer that later for you."
Here are some other topics McKenzie and Davis addressed Monday, all of which hit on a theme of realistic goals and moderate expectations:
"I'm not going to tell you," McKenzie said with a grin.
Does a player who makes as much money as Jackson -- and with his occasionally cantankerous personality -- fit with McKenzie's model for the Raiders?
"As long as he's a really good player that we think is really going to elevate our team," McKenzie said.
McKenzie has stressed team chemistry during his tenure but suggested that Jackson's reputation as a malcontent isn't a deal-killer all by itself.
"My opinion was that he was an injured player, and I didn't know whether that was the best thing for us to do at that time," Davis said.
"Guys, I didn't let Veldheer go -- I really wanted to keep him," McKenzie said. "But it was his decision to go ...
"He indicated to us he wanted to be here. So we would pay whatever the market was, that's what we told him."
Instead, Veldheer signed with Arizona.
McKenzie indicated a similar process happened with Houston, who signed with Chicago.
"You look at the tape, when you mention age, if they looked like they should be retiring soon, I wouldn't have brought them in," McKenzie said.
Is the idea to use these players as a multiseason bridge as the Raiders' draft picks develop?
"That's the plan," McKenzie said.
"We're growing into that; some of these receivers are starting to grow, we've got a young receiving corps," McKenzie said. "We've got a very young tight end corps ...
"I think some of the offensive linemen, like (Stefen) Wisniewski is one of those foundation pieces."
"We're going to get the best player, if it happens to be a quarterback, so be it," McKenzie said. "We're not going to reach around and draft by position."
It's the Raiders' new realism and push toward even more patience.
It's realistic. But it is definitely going to take a lot of time, more time probably than even they expected.

MIAMI -- Offensive lineman Jonathan Martin wants to return to the NFL, he said in an interview aired Wednesday where he claimed that racial, aggressive and sexually charged comments all played a role in his departure from the Miami Dolphins.
Martin, who played in college at Stanford, also said he was not the only victim of hazing in the Dolphins' locker room.
"There are other people that got it too," Martin said. "I can't say why I may have gotten more."
Martin told his side of the story to former NFL coach Tony Dungy, now an analyst for NBC, which aired portions of the interview Tuesday and Wednesday. Dungy is part of a committee assigned by Dolphins owner Stephen Ross to review the team's code of conduct, and said on NBC's "Today" show that he has spoken with three general managers who believe Martin will have the chance to play again.
"They all said he's a good player. He'll get an opportunity," Dungy said. "But they're all afraid of the scrutiny that comes with it. He's got to get to the right environment, not a place like the Miami locker room was."
Among the allegations Martin made in his interview with Dungy:
"I have no problem with the normal hazing that you see in the NFL, get a haircut, stuff like that, little pranks," Martin said. "But of a personal, attacking nature, I don't think there's any place for that."
Martin left the Dolphins in October amid allegations he was harassed by teammates, including Incognito.

Steven McCarroll (Harvard University)
MolBio Seminar Series
Steven McCarroll
Steve McCarroll is a professor in the Genetics Department of Harvard Medical School. He is the Director of Genetics at the Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research at the Broad Institute.
Steve was a Ph.D. student in Cori Bargmann's lab (genetics and neuroscience in C. elegans) at U.C. San Francisco, then a postdoc in David Altshuler's lab (human genetic polymorphism and the genetic basis of complex phenotypes) at MGH and the Broad Institute.
Where is the rest of the human genome?
Whole-genome sequencing is increasingly used to search for genetic variants underlying human disease. In this seminar, I will describe ways in which every sequencing experiment can also be used to teach us surprising things about how genomes work in everyone. First, there is extensive human genome sequence that is missing from maps of the human genome – but using a combination of mathematics and historical mixtures of human populations, we learned where these genes have been hiding and how they have remained hidden from view. Second, we find that some regions of the human genome segregate in many different structural forms within human populations, an "extreme" form of structural variation that is contributing to human phenotypes. Third, we developed ways to use whole genome sequence data to study active processes of DNA replication in human cells, with a surprising finding about how DNA replication varies from person to person.

Idaho Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 65(e). Grounds for Preliminary Injunction.
A preliminary injunction may be granted in the following cases:
(1) When it appears by the complaint that the plaintiff is entitled to the relief demanded, and such relief, or any part thereof, consists in restraining the commission or continuance of the acts complained of, either for a limited period or perpetually.
(2) When it appears by the complaint or affidavit that the commission or continuance of some act during the litigation would produce waste, or great or irreparable injury to the plaintiff.
(3) When it appears during the litigation that the defendant is doing, or threatens, or is about to do, or is procuring or suffering to be done, some act in violation of the plaintiff's rights, respecting the subject of the action, and tending to render the judgment ineffectual.
(4) When it appears, by affidavit, that the defendant during the pendency of the action, threatens, or is about to remove, or to dispose of the defendant's property with intent to defraud the plaintiff, an injunction order may be granted to restrain the removal or disposition.
(5) A preliminary injunction may also be granted on the motion of the defendant upon filing a counterclaim, praying for affirmative relief upon any of the grounds mentioned above in this section, subject to the same rules and provisions provided for the issuance of injunctions on behalf of the plaintiff.
(6) The district courts, in addition to the powers already possessed, shall have power to issue writs of injunction for affirmative relief having the force and effect of a writ of restitution, restoring any person or persons to the possession of any real property from the actual possession of which the person or persons may be ousted by force, or violence, or fraud, or stealth, or any combination thereof, or from which the person or persons are kept out of possession by threats whenever such possession was taken from them by entry of the adverse party on Sunday or a legal holiday, or in the nighttime, or while the party in possession was temporarily absent therefrom. The granting of such writ shall extend only to the right of possession under the facts of the case, in respect to the manner in which the possession was obtained, leaving the parties to their legal rights on all other questions the same as though no such writ had issued: provided, that no such writ shall issue except upon notice in writing to the adverse party of at least five (5) days of the time and place of making application therefor.
