Mount Pocono residents will have to wait at least another week before they know how their trash will be picked up in 2013.
The borough put off a vote on its garbage collection contract for 2013 until a special meeting at 7 p.m. Monday.
"Believe me, the last thing I want to do is have another meeting on the garbage pickup," said Solicitor Jim Fareri. "But I think we owe it to the bidders to take a look at this."
Two companies submitted bids for the borough's municipal garbage pick-up contract, J.P. Mascaro and Sons of Allentown, the current contract holder, and Kreitzer Sanitation of Orwigsburg. Mascaro brought up issues with Kreitzer's proposed bid, and Fareri said Kreitzer only very recently answered the concerns.
Fareri didn't say what the issues are, but said there were seven concerns from Mascaro that Kreitzer addressed.
"This is something we have to take a look at now," Fareri said.
Even with the bids and the special meeting, the borough may decide to decline both bids and have its residents arrange their own trash pick-up, a method some council members said they favor.
The debate has gone on for more than two months, as the borough first rejected sanitation bids in October and re-bid the contract in November.
If the borough decides to reject the bids and allow individual pick-up, residents would have only 20 days until the start of 2013 to make trash pick-up arrangements.
If the borough accepts one of the bids, it likely will come with a bill increase for each property.
Council President John Finnerty echoed Fareri's feelings, saying he didn't want to belabor the sanitation issue, but said the borough needed to protect itself.
"We have to make sure we're in good legal standing here," he said.
Mount Pocono and East Stroudsburg are the only two Monroe County municipalities with municipal trash pick-up. Mount Pocono only collects trash from residents, not businesses.

The parents of an autistic student are taking the Palo Alto Unified School District to federal court over its refusal to allow him to be educated at home, as well as other alleged violations of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004.
Filed in San Jose on March 3, the lawsuit says the district did not follow the 12-year-old student's IEP, or individualized education plan, for 30 days as required by law when he transferred to the district last year. The plan called for in-home education but the district instead offered to place him in a classroom.
The student, identified only as "S.C." in court documents, lacks the ability to communicate verbally and has a history of severe allergic reactions to food which is complicated by pica, a disorder characterized by persistent and compulsive cravings to eat nonfood items.
The parents subsequently filed an administrative complaint, which was taken up by the California Office of Administrative Hearings, Special Education Division. Administrative Law Judge Elsa H. Jones ruled on Dec. 13 that the school district had not violated the student's rights under the disabilities act.
The act requires school districts to provide a "free appropriate public education" to all students.
The lawsuit seeks to reverse the judge's ruling and force Palo Alto Unified to educate the student at home, as per his original individualized education plan. His parents also want the district to provide 40 hours per week of "applied behavior analysis," two hours per week of individual speech and language services, and two hours per week of individual occupational therapy services.
"The decision by OAH failed to recognize these violations of S.C.'s rights and accordingly, failed to order sufficient remedies to ameliorate these violations," the suit states.

We're all familiar with the slogan "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle," and most of us do our part to keep cans, bottles and newspapers out of the landfill. Some take an even broader approach and explore ways to reuse materials that have outlasted their original purpose.
The concept of conservation isn't new, of course. Long before the Green Revolution was a twinkle in Gaiam's noble eye, people have been "making do" in times of need, for necessity really is the mother of invention. The patchwork quilt was born out of just such a necessity. Scraps of cloth stitched together made for warm bed coverings. Over time, the original utilitarian purpose met with the desire for beauty, and the quilt evolved into an art form that still flourishes.
Recent times have seen a resurgence of arts and crafts using would-be cast-offs. Objects are salvaged, upcycled, repurposed, embellished and altered. Shabby-chic, wearable art, assemblage, mixed media, steampunk and bling are all in vogue. The trend has gathered a momentum that shows no signs of slowing down.
Want to get in on the fun? If so, then the Summit County Library is a great place to find all sorts of books that are sure to spark your imagination. Carly Simon is a great fan of Crispina ffrench's - yes, that's how she spells her last name - "The Sweater Chop Shop: Sewing One-of-a-Kind Creations from Recycled Sweaters," and so is Ben Cohen (of Ben and Jerry's ice creams), who describes the book as "amazing and magical." "Alter This! Radical Ideas for Transforming Books Into Art," by Alena Hennessey, is directed at juvenile readers and teaches them how to turn phone books, art books and even grammar books into exciting and eye-catching items of real art. The text is irreverent, the photography beautiful and the techniques creative and well-taught.
Lavish illustrations accompany each project in "Sumptuous Patchwork: 30 Exciting and Original Patchwork Projects with Embroidery, Beading and Stenciling," which will appeal to novices and master makers alike. Techniques are described step by step and are just right even for the most sophisticated of tastes.
"Upcycling Celebrations: A Use-What-You-Have Guide to Decorating, Gift-Giving and Entertaining," by Danny Seo, America's leading authority on modern, eco-friendly living, offers 100 projects for parties and holidays. From a summer barbecue to Thanksgiving to New Year's Eve, Danny explains how to turn the ordinary and everyday into striking, unique objects that guarantee successful entertaining and a truly festive occasion.
What are you waiting for? All these and more are available at your Summit County Library. Have a great time and help save the planet, too!


text: This thread can serve as the discussion for the basics of the world building project. Some points we should probably get out of the way firstly: -A name for the universe? -SF, Fantasy or Blend? -High magic, some magic or no magic? -Entirely human or other races/species/sentient creatures? -Multiple planets? If so, space travel? -Multiple planes of existence? (Spirit world,wormholes etc)? -Anything else you can think of. I would side with a blend. Some form of magic system, or manilpulation of the elements would be a good time for me as well. I always liked genetically modified humanity but other races or sentient beings I can do without. Multiple planets and space travel are a must for me. Spirit world I can do without. SFFworldia also needs a better name (sorry Hobbit )

The son of Michael Douglas failed a drug test earlier this month in prison.
Cameron Douglas, who is currently serving a 9½-year prison sentence for drug-related charges, was allegedly found with "drugs in his system" earlier this month, according to the New York Post.
Quoting a "prison insider," the paper reported the 34-year-old, who is in a federal prison in Pennsylvania, "failed a urinalysis" in the first week of January and was "immediately sent to solitary confinement." It is unclear as to whether Douglas will get more jail time.
RadarOnline said Douglas was sentenced to five years in prison for both possessing and selling drugs, including methamphetamine and heroin, in 2010. He was later given more jail time after he pleaded guilty to smuggling drugs into prison. He is not eligible for parole until 2018.
It's safe to say Douglas isn't enjoying his confinement. In December, The Huffington Post reported Douglas was assaulted, having a leg and finger broken, after a New York crime boss reportedly put a $100 bounty on his head for naming other suspects to authorities.
Cameron's father has been supportive. RadarOnline reported that the actor has regularly visited his son in prison, even as the elder Douglas he battled cancer. According to the New York Daily News, the Oscar-winner appeared in a Manhattan court in December, seeking to cut time off his prison sentence.

Lawyers in Sandy's Path Offer Free Help to Storm Victims
As the lights come back on and building repairs commence, life is gradually returning to normal at many of the big law firms whose offices got slammed by Superstorm Sandy.
Bar associations across the tri-state area are setting up free legal clinics to help citizens affected by the storm. In New York, Connecticut and New Jersey, state bar groups are setting up hotlines to match lawyers with storm victims. On Friday, the New York City Bar Association hosted a training session to get volunteer attorneys up to speed on FEMA, insurance, food stamps and other issues storm victims are likely to encounter.
This weekend Theresa Mohan, an in-house lawyer with IBM who grew up in the Rockaways section of Queens, is running a disaster counseling clinic to help residents of that hard-hit area apply for FEMA grants and other help. The clinic is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. at St. Francis De Sales Church on Rockaway Boulevard in Belle Harbor.
"This is the block I grew up on," said Ms. Mohan, who lives in Westchester County but has been helping clean up damage at her mother's flooded home in Queens. "Everybody knew I was a lawyer, I kept getting all these questions… A lot of people haven't even applied for FEMA help yet."
The application process is pretty simple, she said, but residents have been hampered by lack of internet access and spotty phone service. Ms. Mohan said she plans to bring laptops to "facilitate the process" and to create a checklist to make sure people know all the types of help that are available.
Lawyers along the storm-ravaged ravaged shores of New Jersey, Long Island and New York City's outer boroughs may also need to avail themselves of help from disaster agencies—and other lawyers.
Solo practitioners and small firms in flooded areas such as Long Beach, N.Y. and Seaside Heights, N.J. are in the same predicament as homeowners and other business people hustling to salvage what they can from damaged buildings. And while bigger firms with damaged branch offices can reshuffle attorneys to other locations, small firms have fewer backstops when disaster strikes.
"God forbid you lose your files," said Marian Rice, president of the Nassau County Bar Association and a partner at L'Abbate, Balkan, Colavita & Contini LLP in Garden City, N.Y. Her group is offering two community legal clinics for storm victims later this month, but has also set up an exchange to help displaced lawyers find temporary office space with members who have working phones and internet. "We do forsee there are going to be quite a lot of people. Client files, damaged equipment, computers… There's no extra cash to pay staff, there's no extra cash to pay rent."
Legal publishing company American Lawyer Media has offered to replace Law Journal Press and other books damaged by the storm for free. Firms in the tri-state area who were hurt by the storm can also apply to ALM for a $2,500 cash grant and a bundle of free legal information products by applying here; three firms will be selected.
It's not clear how many lawyers remain shut down by Sandy. Bar association officials in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut said they didn't have estimates on how many of their members lost office space, and that with the power still out in many areas some lawyers may have yet to make their predicament known.
Law Blog called a number of law offices in the devastated New Jersey community of Seaside Heights to see how lawyers there had fared. Some numbers didn't ring through; many went straight to voicemail.
A woman who answered the phone at one office, where the number was apparently forwarded, said no one from the office had been able to even get back out on the barrier island to inspect the damage.

Director of International News Services, RIA Novosti, the international news agency in Moscow.
"How do you quantify dignity? What is the mathematical equation for overcoming adversity? Where is the algorithm for finding the courage to speak the truth?
As I read and reread entries in the UNDP storytelling competition, I grew, successively, interested, impressed and, finally, deeply moved by these vital, first-hand accounts of people striving, of forward progress, of communities working to become a little better – of humanity developing. And as a member of the jury for the competition, I wrestled with the dilemma: is it possible, objectively, to rank these brief works, each of which describes a reality of its own?"

Student has 13 years perfect attendance
Published: Friday, July 19, 2013 at 9:44 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 19, 2013 at 9:44 p.m.
Kassey Paul Murphy, a recent graduate of H.L. Bourgeois High School, was dedicated to his education. So dedicated, in fact, he didn't miss a single day of school in 13 years.
The Terrebonne Parish School Board recognized Murphy for his accomplishment at its most recent meeting.
Superintendent Philip Martin presented Murphy with a special certificate.
"I don't know if I could do anything for 13 years and not miss a day," Martin said, with a laugh.
Board member L.P. Bordelon agreed, adding that Murphy should put the accomplishment on his resume. Any employer wants a candidate who won't miss work days, he said.
Murphy recognized his family, who attended the meeting, and credited them with waking him up everyday.
Asked how he made it from kindergarten to graduation without absence, he said, "I must have a pretty good immune system."

Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air are changing minimum check-in time for customers traveling on most domestic flights to 40 minutes before departure — 10 minutes earlier than the past. It doesn't matter if you are checking a bag or not.
The minimum check-in time for international flights remains at 60 minutes.
Alaska said the policy change is so passengers can expect the same minimum check-in time at almost all airports the carrier serves. The exceptions will be at airports where the check-in cutoff is already 45 minutes, such as Atlanta, Denver, Las Vegas, Newark and Philadelphia. Passengers traveling from Guadalajara have a 90-minute check-in cutoff time.
Beginning Wednesday passengers who miss the cutoff will be offered a $25 same-day confirmed seat on the next available flight, depending on availability.
The airline reminds travelers the 40-minute rule is no guarantee of making it to their departure gate in time for boarding.

I´ve been trying for 4 hours to get my XBOX 360 to read some movie, with no luck. The error I always get is "unsupported content"
.- I´ve tried the install as seen here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=13046
no luck
.- I read that with version 1.50 it was an error, blah, blah, and tried 1.40
no luck
.- I got the latest 1.52 from GoogleCode: https://code.google.com/p/ps3mediaserve ... 1.52.0.tgz
no luck
.- I read that there was a problem with mencoder... and got very latest mencoder and ffmpeg from: http://ppa.launchpad.net/motumedia/
no luck
.- I´ve tried the latest PMS for WINDOWS in an WIN XP from scratch box...
and ¡NO LUCK!
Where is the problem? My Xbox DO read some wmv files, like http://download.nvidia.com/downloads/nZ ... _1080p.wmv
Damn... When I try to read that file (purevideo), a file that I DO PLAYED... it says the same error: "Unsupported file type"...
So, It is not PSM... it is my xbox.
If this can help someone, the error code I get is 69-C00DF804
I will edit his post, if I can fix this piece of sh**

EDIT 1: I Think the problem became after I did the RGH hack to my xbox 360...
EDIT2: Well, I have the dash 14.699... And I do not think that RGH has much to do with this problem...

SANTA CLARA -- Serving as the 49ers' starting quarterback at training camp is something new for Colin Kaepernick. But it hasn't changed his mindset.
"To me, it's football. Football is football, regardless," Kaepernick said Thursday as the 49ers prepared for their first full practice. "I'm here to work, to make sure I get better, to make sure I'm ready to help this team."
Kaepernick helped lead the 49ers to last season's Super Bowl, where they lost 34-31 after their final offensive series died at the 5-yard line. During that last-series sequence, a timeout was called when Kaepernick had trouble getting off a third-down snap, but he's now downplayed its impact.
"That was just one situation. To be real honest, the problem came in the first half when we didn't perform well," Kaepernick said. "It didn't come down to those last four plays. It came down to the first half when we didn't put points on the board."
Since that defeat, Kaepernick's exposure has been in full gear, from endorsements to award show to a magazine shoot in which he wore no clothes.
He's still anticipating locker-room razzing for those photos, noting: "I haven't had anything real bad yet. I feel like they're plotting on me right now."
Here is the rest of Kaepernick's media session with reporters:
How has the offseason, 'rock star' status changed things here coming into camp?
"It's just more of an opportunity to do things. For the most part for me, I worried about playing football."
Was it awkward to deal with the crush of media going from backup to starter?
"No it wasn't awkward. For the most part to me, I was worrying about playing football. That was my only concern. Everything else was just extra."
How much have you thought about the end of the Super Bowl and how has that motivated you?
"I think about it a lot. I think about it to make sure that doesn't happen again, to put our team in a better situation the next time we're in a situation like that, an opportunity like that."
How does it feel to be the starter this camp as opposed to last year?
"To me, it's football. Football is football, regardless. I'm here to work, to make sure I get better, to make sure I'm ready to help this team."
How important is it to have leadership qualities for a quarterback?
"It's very important. If your players and your teammates don't respect you, if they don't feel like you're someone they can come to or associate with, they're not going to follow you, they're not going to play as well for you on the field, they're not going to go out and perform for you. If I can build that relationship and make sure my teammates are comfortable and feel I can help them get better on the field, I think they'll perform better."
How do you do that?
"There's a lot of different ways, from talking to them, to going out and working hard at practice, to showing them you're here to work, being willing to help them if they have questions. Anything you can do to show them you should be the leader and you're someone they can follow."
Have you seen a change in teammates asking you about maybe off-field questions more?
"Off the field, we're just having a good time together. When it comes to football, yeah, I think my teammates are more comfortable in me, have more confidence in me."
Where do you need to improve?
"Everywhere. There's not something I'm trying to get better at one thing. I'm trying to get better at every aspect of my game."
In the Super Bowl, you didn't get a play called in time (third-and-goal, final minutes). Is that an area, getting plays relayed and getting the team ready, that you're working for this camp?
"That was just one situation. To be real honest, the problem came in the first half when we didn't perform well. It didn't come down to those last four plays. It came down to the first half when we didn't put points on the board."
What's your review of the receiving corps without Michael Crabtree?
"It's a tragic situation to have that happen to a great player like Crab. At this point people have to step up. Who that is depends will really depend on how this camp goes."
Has some of the attention surprised you?
"I'm not worried about that. I'm worried about playing football and making sure I'm ready to go."
What are your thoughts on the read-option sustaining?
"The same way defenses, offenses do too. It's a chess match, regardless."
You've successfully ran and not get hit. Is that something you can practice or is that mental?
"It's a little bit of both. As a quarterback, you have to know you have to be healthy to help your team. Running down and taking a big hit from a linebacker or safety is not in your best interest or the team's. You have to be smart with your body."
What's the hardest you've been hit?
"College. Sean Witherspoon. My sophomore year. On the run, got a clean shot, hit me in the shoulders and head. Best lick I've taken. It was a scramble."
Did you come right back?
"Knock on wood, I haven't been knocked out yet."
Was Baltimore specifically having a guy on you and hitting you each time?
"I've seen that before."
Do you expect to rely heavily on Anquan or will you spread the ball?
"It depends on the play call and what the offense is trying to do. Crab was the hot receiver for a while, so we went to him, and he kept making plays, so we kept going to him. This year it really depends on what the offense is doing."
Last year, was 'Kaepernick.' Have you been thinking about what you'll do this year?
"No. I'm worried about trying to put points on the board."

on my new notebook i have opensuse 13.1, gnome 3.10, qcad 22.214.171.124 trial but problems with 1366x768 pixels screen resolution: i don't see the status bar (and other parts of qcad) and cannot resize the qcad window. setting the size in ~/.config/QCAD/QCAD3.conf does not help, qcad always starts with 1200x809 pixels and stores this value in QCAD3.conf when it terminates. Any ideas how i can force qcad to use a different resolution?
to correct this: i can resize the qcad window, but only horizontally.

STOCKTON – Police are investigating a homicide in a south Stockton neighborhood that has been plagued by violence in recent years, authorities said.
Officers responded to a report of an unknown disturbance at 3:16 p.m. today in the 1000 block of South American Street just south of East Anderson Street, said Officer Joe Silva, a spokesman for the Stockton Police Department. When they arrived, they found a 38-year-old man dead inside a residence, Silva said.
The victim's sport utility vehicle was missing, and there were obvious signs of foul play inside the home, Silva said. The victim's vehicle was later located somewhere outside Stockton in San Joaquin County, Silva said.
Homicide investigators and evidence technicians are processing the scene. They are waiting on the San Joaquin County Coroner's Office to arrive to determine the cause of death, Silva said.
This is the 27th homicide Stockton police have investigated this year. The homicide occurred less than 100 yards from the corner of South American and East Anderson streets, where two men were shot in November 2012. One of those men, 19-year-old Victor Ibanez, died as a result of his injuries.

During the hot summer months, James and Dolley Madison always left the muggy Washington weather behind to relax at Montpelier, their beloved Virginia estate. This summer, they're coming home again! On most Saturdays and Sundays, June through September, you can meet "James" and "Dolley" in the mansion's South Wing.
You are cordially invited to celebrate Dolley Madison's 243rd birthday at Montpelier on Friday, May 20, 2011. Join "Mrs. Madison" for cake and lemonade at the Montpelier Visitor Center at 11:00 a.m. Then, take a tour of the home, where she showered guests with her legendary hospitality.
Today marks the 78th annual Historic Garden Week in Virginia, an event the Madisons would have enjoyed with relish. In addition to his roles as politician and scholar, James Madison was interested in science, agriculture, and horticulture.
It's the early spring of 1861. South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas have all seceded. The first shots of the Civil War ring out over Fort Sumter. In Virginia, a state secession convention is underway, but a cloud of uncertainty hovers over the state. What would life in the Confederacy mean for Virginians serving in the U.S. Army? What would a war mean to civilians at home?
Do you remember the Case of the Missing Painting, where our curatorial detectives tracked down a work of art which had hung at Montpelier and then traveled to Washington with Dolley in the 1840s? The painting was on display in the Montpelier Visitor Center Grills Gallery in May 2008, and removed in October 2010 for conservation and cleaning.
Have you ever wondered what an insider's view of Montpelier is like? The Center for the Constitution at James Madison's Montpelier is offering the chance to find out! Participants in the Center's new evening seminar, "James and Dolley Madison and the Founding of Our Nation" will come to Montpelier, learn about the Constitution, tour the Madisons' home, and see the latest archaeological dig through this rare educational experience.
When was the last time you had a party with 1,000 of your friends? Montpelier was thrilled to welcome the more than 1,000 people who joined us a few days ago to celebrate the anniversary of James Madison's 260th birthday!
Two hundred sixty years ago today Nelly Conway Madison gave birth to James Madison, Jr. in Port Conway, Virginia. Nelly and her husband, James Madison, Sr. raised their son at Montpelier, where young James developed an insatiable intellectual curiosity. This curiosity remained with Madison as he traveled to the College of New Jersey (today Princeton University), where he completed the curriculum ahead of his classmates and became the school's first graduate student.
A first birthday is a remarkable event in a child's life. It marks a time to look back at milestones from the previous year and to begin to anticipate future milestones.
James Madison is often remembered as a contemplative scholar, a political philosopher, and an ardent life-long learner. Like most educated men of his generation, he maintained a sizeable reference collection, including nearly 4,000 published volumes, stacks of significant newspapers, and other materials. To enhance his study of national, international, and state politics as well as his interest in the natural world, Madison often referred to sources beyond text: maps and globes.

Schoolkid's Instinctive Swim to Survive
ANSAN, South Korea — One wing of the Korea University Medical Center in this satellite city of Seoul houses dozens of survivors of this week's Sewol ferry disaster.
Another wing hosts families of some of the dead, who have been coming to pay their respects at memorials set up at the hospital.
The juxtaposition of life and death in Ansan, where 325 of the 476 passengers on the ferry were students at a local high school, reflects tensions that are playing out in South Korean society in big and small ways after the tragedy.
While families of the dead are mourning, and while relatives of the missing are furious with the authorities over what they call foot dragging in the rescue efforts, survivors and their families are struggling to come to grips with the burden that has been thrust upon them, too.
That includes Park Joon-hyuk, a 16-year-old member of the school's badminton team, who barely escaped with his life on Wednesday after helping rescue other passengers.
When the boat began to list, Joon-hyuk was with about 10 other passengers in front of the ladies' bathroom in a hallway on the third floor of the ferry. When the crew warned of danger, telling passengers not to move, the students sat down — and stayed there for about an hour.
"At first we didn't think it was that serious," Joon-hyuk said. But then the boat lurched further onto its side and the waters rose. "We heard the helicopters outside and told each other that the rescuers were coming."
Joon-hyuk and his friends helped a young girl, not even 10 years old, don a lifejacket and hoisted her upward through a door, where rescuers were waiting. (Joon-hyuk believes she eventually made it back to shore.)
But Joon-hyuk and the other students were unable to reach the opening themselves, and began looking for another way out. The problem: by then, all other escape routes were blocked by water.

So Joon-hyuk and several other students took the plunge. In the murky water, there was no clear route to safety, so he felt his way around. Eventually he sensed an opening, swam through it and emerged into the open water. About 20 seconds after he surfaced, he was rescued.
"I wasn't thinking about anything," he said. "The only thing I was thinking about was coming back out of the water."
When Joon-hyuk was rescued, he called his parents, telling them he was fine — and added that there was no need for them to travel to Jindo. He didn't want his father, a construction worker, to take a day off.
"Joon-hyuk is the kind of boy who cares more about other people than himself," his father, Park Jae-duck, said.
Joon-hyuk, who says he is thinking about becoming a history professor, suffered no serious injuries in the disaster, and he seems comfortable talking about it. But he also holds something back, and Mr. Park worries that beneath the stoic exterior, Joon-hyuk is suffering.

BRECKENRIDGE - When four local fifth-graders learned that America's founding fathers used a declaration to end England's rule over the U.S., they decided to borrow the idea to tackle a present-day issue: the use of plastic bags and bottles.
But Dillon Valley Elementary students Elsa Bates, Anna Rose Craig, Jacob Brewer and Emilie McAtamney did the Continental Congress one better.
"It's like we were the founding fathers, but not only us signed it," said 10-year-old Anna Rose. "We got out and got visitors and locals in Breckenridge and in Summit County. So instead of it just being us four signing it and our families, we got complete strangers to agree to help."
Roughly 300 people have now signed the students' petition, pledging to prevent the use of plastic bags and bottles in the community.
The fifth-graders, who call themselves the Breck Brains, will present their petition to the Breckenridge Town Council tonight and then to a panel of judges as their community service project for the regional Destination Imagination competition this weekend.
The four have been contenders in the annual competition for the last four years. The bag and bottle petition was borne out of this year's contest parameters: that the students design and carry out a community service project.
"We saw that bags and plastic bottles were getting in the way of animals. It's not good for global warming either, because to make them uses a lot of fuels," said 11-year-old Elsa. "We wanted to do this one because we knew that our community needed help with plastic bags and bottles, with the use of them, so we tried to take action with that."
They began with the words of the founding fathers who inspired the project.
"We the people and visitors of Summit County, by signing this document, agree to prevent the use of single-use plastic bags and bottles," the petition states.
They then took the declaration to the community, collecting signatures in their school, over email and in the Blue River Plaza in downtown Breckenridge.
Some refused to listen to their request. Others didn't support their goal. A few were hostile to the idea of eliminating the use of plastic products.
"Some people actually say no, they don't want to talk to you," Jacob, 10, said. "One was like, 'we don't want any Girl Scout cookies.'"
But many people were supportive. The Breck Brains gathered several dozen signatures in their school from teachers and other students. Visitors to Breckenridge from all over the world signed on as well. This week, they Googled online petitions and found a new way to reach out to potential supporters.
"I was searching online petitions and I found this thing that said Change.org," Emilie, 10, said. "Then I clicked on it and started a petition."
Within 12 hours, the declaration against plastic bags and bottles had garnered 37 signatures on the Change.org website alone.
The petition began as a project for the Destination Imagination contest, but the students can now see it growing into something more.
"Maybe this will go farther than we expected," Anna Rose said. "Instead of it just being for a competition, maybe we'll actually make a change."
At least in Breckenridge, change seems to be coming. While the students have been collecting signatures, adults in the community have been embroiled in a heated debate over whether to ban or place a fee on single-use bags in town.
The SustainableBreck Business Task Force, a body charged with crafting recommended policy action on the issue, has signed on to the students' petition.
Both Jacob's father, Ben Brewer, and Emilie's mother, Jen McAtamney, are members of the Breckenridge Town Council and are expected to make a decision on the proposed bag ban in the coming months.
In the meantime, the Breck Brains will continue to build on their project for the statewide Destination Imagination competition in April.

Yarn Profile: Softig
First Impressions
Softig is a tubular yarn that's knitted instead of spun. It's similar in concept to Stahl Bandolino except that it's composed of two strands knit in the round, instead of one. Each strand is of a different thickness, which produces a consistent rippled effect in the yarn and finished garments.
Knitting Up
Softig produced thick and substantial swatches. Stitches were technically even, while the swatch surfaces had a dappled, almost bumpy look because of the yarn's texture.
Blocking / Washing
Loose ends tended to fray from normal agitation, so you may want to weave them into your garment -- loosely -- prior to washing.
Despite the bleeding, there was no visible color loss when the swatches dried. Gauge remained constant as well.
It produces a thick garment with only moderate drape. To avoid the Attack of the Shapeless Sweater syndrome, you may want to stick with more tailored patterns.
During the stress tests, high-wear areas began to blur and pill after a moderate amount of friction.
From a structural perspective, Softig would survive many a rugby match before actually wearing through. It will, however, eventually lose its crisp stitch definition and pitted texture in favor of a softer, blurrier look.
An average-sized woman's sweater will run you a little over $100. Yes, this is cotton, but it has a complex fabrication.
I doubt I'll ever get around to making anything for myself with Softig, but that's only because I like a little more drape in my sweaters. But if this doesn't bother you, if you live in a warmer climate, or if you simply enjoy knitting and wearing cotton, keep Softig in mind.

Irving v. Lipstadt
Defense Documents
David Irving, Hitler and Holocaust Denial: Electronic Edition, by Richard J. EvansTable of Contents
|(B)Irving's misrepresenta... >
|(D) Irving's misrepresen... >>
(A) Irving's defence
1. In his reply to Lipstadt's defence, Irving admits that Hitler's statement that the 'Jews must get out of Europe, if necessary, with the application of the most brutal means' was recorded in the Goebbels diary entry on 20 March 1941, not on 30 March 1941, as he had claimed in Hitler's War (1977).
2. Irving also admits that he was wrong to use this statement by Hitler as evidence that Goebbels, who had on 27 March 1942 noted down in his diary a frank account of the murder of the Jews, 'held his tongue when he met Hitler' two days later. As this Report has noted above, this meeting did not take place at all. In any case, Irving goes on to argue that this error is insignificant, claiming that Hitler 'said the same thing again and again at this time, both before and after the March 27, 1942 entry, according to Goebbels's.28
3. In Hitler's War, Irving provides some examples which show, in his view, that Hitler still talked only about the deportation of Jews from Europe, and was therefore ignorant of their extermination. In particular, Irving refers to the Goebbels diary entries of 27 April 1942 and 30 May 1942, and Hitler's table talks of 15 May 1942 and 24 July 1942.29 This Report will now therefore give detailed consideration to these four sources and to Irving's interpretation of them, beginning with the Goebbels diary entry for 27 April 1942 and the related Hitler table talk of 15 May 1942.
28. Irving's reply to the defence of the second defendant, p. 17.

Focus Stocks
BB&T Is Near a Key Resistance Area
Published on Friday, 15 February 2013 11:56 Written by TradersHuddle Wire
New York, February 15th (TradersHuddle.com) - Shares of BB&T Corporation (NYSE:BBT) are trading very close to calculated resistance at $31.19. The stock ended the trading session at just $30.36, which is near levels that make it difficult to buy or start a position.
BB&T Corporation (NYSE:BBT) operates banking locations in North and South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky, Alabama, Indiana, Washington D.C., Florida and Tennessee. The Company offers full-service commercial and retail banking, as well as insurance, retail brokerage, corporate finance, and international banking.
BB&T's stock range is defined by its calculated support defined at $26.86 and by the resistance level at $31.19; the stock is clearly over-extended from support, making it harder for participants to establish fresh longs.
Traders don't have a clear entry point for BB&T. However, as the stock pulls back towards $26.86 it will definitely provide a reference point to establish a trade. On the other hand, if the stock breaks above its resistance level at $31.19 then traders will get an opportunity to enter the stock as it moves to a higher range.

ALAMEDA -- Maurice Jones-Drew has a message for all the skeptics who doubt that he and Darren McFadden can erase two seasons of injury and ineffectiveness.
"Everybody can say what they want," Jones-Drew said Tuesday as the Raiders began a three-day mandatory minicamp. "Just don't be the same guy in a couple of months saying, 'Oh, we knew they could do it.' Hold yourself accountable like everyone holds us (accountable)."
As recently as 2011, McFadden and Jones-Drew were considered among the top running backs in the NFL. McFadden was averaging 5.4 yards per carry when he went down with a Lisfranc injury to his foot. Jones-Drew had a career-high 1,606 yards rushing.
In 2012, Jones-Drew had a Lisfranc of his own and played in just six games, gaining 414 yards while McFadden was averaging 3.3 yards per carry as the Raiders switched to a zone blocking scheme.
Last season was even worse. Jones-Drew averaged 3.4 yards per carry in 15 games, needing 234 carries to gain 803 yards. McFadden, even with a return to the power blocking scheme, again averaged 3.3 yards per carry in 10 games, again battling injuries.
Jacksonville made no effort to re-sign Jones-Drew, who led the franchise in rushing with 8,071 yards and touchdowns with 81. The Raiders brought McFadden back in part because they could get him at fraction of what he made in his first five seasons.
It isn't often running backs with a handful of years in the league return to form once they fall to well under 4 yards per carry. There were whispers following the 1981 season Walter Payton was wearing out after averaging 3.6 yards per carry, only to gain 7,707 yards over the next five seasons and powering his way to the Hall of Fame.
While no one is suggesting Jones-Drew and McFadden are Walter Payton, coach Dennis Allen likes what he sees through three weeks of organized team activities and a day of minicamp.
"When you watch 'em practice, you see guys that still have explosion, guys that still have run skills, guys that still make people miss," Allen said. "I don't pay a lot of attention to what the statistics may say. I just see what I see with my eyes, and I see a couple of guys that if they can stay healthy, have the ability to perform at a high level."
McFadden said he and Jones-Drew have become good friends, but haven't talked about their struggles over the past two seasons.
"It's something that's unspoken," McFadden said. "We just go out there and play ball. We don't think about what's happened in the past. For me, the past is behind me. I don't even care to even talk about it, really. I'm moving forward. The only place I can go is up."
Quarterback Matt Schaub said the real test will come in pads at training camp, but sees both running backs showing good burst in the open field. He likes their ability to pick up blitzing linebackers and also be explosive in the screen game.
"Just the way they complement each other is going to be a key to our success," Schaub said.
Allen said the only player who probably won't be ready for training camp is guard Lucas Nix, who he said had a "knee procedure" Tuesday.

The driver of a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 pulling a 1997 Shasta travel trailer on eastbound Interstate 44, one mile west of Jerome, Saturday suffered minor injuries after the truck overturned. According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, John L. Darrow, 42, of Paducah, Ky., was driving east on the interstate and while descending a hill, the trailer fishtailed, causing Darrow to lose control of the truck. The truck overturned and came to a rest on its top and the trailer came to a rest in the median. Darrow declined treatment at the scene. According to a patrol report, Darrow was not wearing a seat belt. Both the truck and trailer were totaled. The patrol was assisted by the Doolittle Rural Fire Protection District and Phelps County Ambulance District.

I think I missed something... why the XP cost for this spell?
As far as the caster of the spell, I see no reason for them to be required to have any sort of craft proficiencies at all. As far as the spell itself is concerned, either the glass is thee or it is not. If it is, the spell can be cast. If it is not, then obviously, the spell cannot be cast.
If the glasteel spell changed the shape of the object as well as composition, it would be another matter.
Oh, and in Races of Faerun, the spell was turned into an alchemical process.

The XP cost is because the caster is creating a special material with special properties through the use of magic. This is a permanent item that can be further magicked. By requiring the caster to have the skill to make the item; I encourage specialization for more than combat skills. Since their primary stat is Intelligence, wizards can afford to spend points on extra skills (I realize that this is an 8th level spell requiring at least an 18 Intelligence to cast). Sorcerers have never been played IMC. I don't know why except that my players have all been playing since 2e and wizards get spell levels faster and usually have a much bigger choice of spells when memorizing.
This also goes to the means of specialization IMC: fighters have PrC's that require lots of feats and can weild a variety of weapons; rogue's PrC's require lots of skills; Clerics specialize in some area of their special abilities (healing/inflicting, turning/rebuking, combat/support, summoning, or artillery); wizards require strange knowledge and/or a few (strange) skills to specialize with PrC's and/or spells.
I've built PrC's, spells, materials, and even a class or two to maximize their choices and ability to specialize. It is useful to note that almost all spellcasters IMC have made up some of their own spells; adding to the campaign. Several characters (who have since gone on to their final reward) have left a legacy of scrolls with their personal spells on them that I can occasionally add as random treasure. They had to spend the XP to make them though. Those players are still around and really enjoy finding a scroll made by one of their previous characters containing a spell their new character would never have thought of but can find useful still.
Should a material object; when made of magically created material not require an XP cost? The item will last a lot longer than any other spell. If made into armor, a weapon, or a shield; it will probably be further enchanted to give it greater abilities (other than immunity to rust, dispelling, and magnetism).
My sig was too long, so here it is; short form: Duh!

UIF to ISO converter
You've got a UIF file from a friend and have no clue how to use it on your Mac? No need to go and boot up your old Windows PC (if you still have one). Just drop the file into UIF2ISO for Mac and it will convert it into a standard ISO format. The ISO you can just use with OSX. Open it. Burn it.
Required OS: not specified
Tags: iso , uif , dvd , cd , image

It works as advertised. Great!
You wish that was true. Sorry, rohman but that is unfortunately not the case.
who the hell wants to use that program if the only needed thing to use UIF files is to RENAME the extension from UIF to ISO... after renaming the extension you can use it perfectly without an problem as an ISO file

I'm new to this whole running thing and it hasn't gone all that well for me, so I'm seeking some advice.
Since some of my friends started C25k, I've tried joining them and have restarted the program several times, but keep having too much pain after about week 2. My shins end up hurting a lot as well as my ankles, and I couldn't really figure out what I was doing wrong since everyone I knew kept telling me that running should be easy and not painful like I was encountering. I'm not too terribly overweight (215 lbs at 6'2") so it isn't a weight issue like one of my other friends was having at 300 lbs, at least as far as I can tell.
I don't really have any running experience in the past. I played some little league baseball when i was a kid, and then a little bit of intramural basketball in high school. The activity i did the longest was some martial arts all the way up from 4th grade through freshman year of college. But I never really did any sports where you learn how to run effectively/correctly, so it is possible that I just might have never learned how to do it right.
I went to a local running shoe store to see if I was using the wrong type of shoes. The person who helped me there told me that I had a very noticeable overpronation when I walked, so he recommended me corrective shoes with support on the inside. Here's the link for them - Brooks Men's Adrelaine GTS 14 Runing Shoes. The shoes appeared to help some, but I was still running into similar pain as before (let's say an 8/10 when before it was a 10/10) in the same areas, so maybe I need a different pair of shoes.
I decided to see if I could figure out if I was doing things incorrectly with my running technique, so I recorded myself in slow motion on a treadmill. Here's the video footage for two different ones, one from the side and the other from the front. The front includes me walking for a short span before getting to the running-
From what I could tell in the videos, I've been landing on the outer edges of my feet before rolling the foot inwards (even more noticeable than my overpronation while walking), which I'm assuming puts excess strain on my legs and is possibly a source of why i'm running into as much pain as I do when running.
What are some exercises or other things I can do to correct my technique so that I don't run into so much pain? I'm probably going to try to see a trainer that one of my friends recommended when she kept having pain issues while running in the next few weeks, but I'm trying to gather as much information as I can from anywhere at this point in hopes of finding anything.
While my comments may or may not be relevant to you and your situation, I will offer them anyway.
As a general rule, new runners suffering from the pains which you're experience are frequently (almost always?) due to TFFFS (Too Fast, too Far, too Frequently, too Soon). New runners often have little ability to gauge how fast they're running, and are frequently guilty of running way too fast for their given level of the development of their infrastructure. The fact is, while many folks have reasonably well developed muscular and cardio-vascular systems, the physical structures which support the body and absorb the impacts (bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons) are woefully underdeveloped, and it is those very systems which take time to develop.
My advice would be to slow way-way down and keep things very slow until A) you've recovered to the point where you're not suffering pain, and B) until you're able to run say six miles at a crack.
Fat old man PRs:
1.) One of the fallacies of running store evaluations: they watch you walk and assume that's how you run. FALSE!!
2.) Pronation is normal. That is, your foot naturally rolls forward and inward. How much determines whether you're overpronating or not. Take a look at this video for an example of overpronation. This is a world-class runner who held the marathon world record a couple years ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAW87NsiGuI
3.) I assume the videos are not full speed. You certainly are not overpronating (or even close to it) in the videos. If anything you may have too much control in those shoes. Nonetheless, they are good shoes and will more than do the job for you.
4.) It appears, from the front view, that you are landing with your foot in front of your body, leg straight and knee almost locked. This may be some of the cause of your pains. Learn to keep your knee somewhat flexed, take somewhat shorter strides and bring your feet under your body when they land. Your knee should "lead" your ankle slightly when your foot lands.
shipo and lenzlaw have tons of experience and I agree with all they've said. I'll offer a few thoughts.
* One thing that struck me: Notice, literally, the field of view of the videos. It's from your shins down. What is going on in your ankles and feet is not only dictated by muscles in those areas, but by muscles higher up as well. I'm talking core and hips. The body is a system and to assess what is going on we can't take a narrow view - literally or figuratively. I know people talk about cross-training but I can vouch for the wonders it can do. I've struggled for years to get through some injuries. Right now I'm running a couple of times a week virtually pain free - but I'm also doing spin class 3 days a week or so. Mix things up. If you sit a lot during the day try to find a way to stand up. Work on balance and hip strength.
* Len's last point is really important, IMHO. Maybe you do a video from the side but show the whole body. It's hard to tell what is going on unless one can see the foot landing relative to the hips. If you run with your feet landing "under" you, at first, it will feel like you're landing with your feet behind you.
* I wouldn't worry about the landing on the outside of your foot part - unless you start develop some localized pain. I'd focus first on landing under you (the short strides thing will enable that to happen) and just let your feet land as they want to.
* Bend your knees. Barefoot Ken Bob (I'm not trying to push barefoot here) says "Bend your knees.........then bend them some more." What helps me is to think of my entire leg as a spring. You know how sometimes you jump onto something hard and your brain puts extra effort into bending the leg to absorb the impact? I notice this most when I climb onto my kitchen counter to change a light bulb and then have to jump off onto the hardwood floor. I'm always in stocking feet - and it at least seems like I can lessen the impact on my feet by really bending my legs to absorb the shock. I will often, literally, think of that image periodically when I'm running and I imagine my *leg* taking the impact of landing, not just my foot.
Good luck.
"Kick off your high heel sneakers, it's party time."
-- From the song FM by Steely Dan
I was hoping the view in the videos would include the entire lower body but ... I commented on what I could see.
On the issue of "landing on the outer edges of my feet", take a look at the videos here: http://barefootrunning.fas.harvard.edu/4BiomechanicsofFootStrike.html These are from one of the classic studies that helped start the popularity of barefoot running. They are stated to show a good forefoot strike. Notice the similarity to your landing on the outside edge of your foot, then rolling forward and across the ball and toes of the foot. This action helps to spread the impact of landing across the entire bottom of your foot.
I can try to get a video of my full body this weekend and put it up, and I could also have one at regular speed in addition to slow motion.
What is a good way to get myself to bend my knees more? I think I tried doing it before and just struggled in trying to avoid fully extending and locking my legs and knees, especially when i don't actively focus on it.
I've read a little bit more about barefoot running today. Would that help me adjust my technique so I would bend my knees more? Are the risks involved worth trying barefoot style out? What about wearing the minimal/toe shoes while running/training?
My $.02: I would not mess with barefoot or minimalist running at this point. You're trying to get your feet under you (literally and figuratively) and messing with barefoot and minimalist right now, IMHO, is too much to take in.
I think the single most important thing to focus on at this point is shortening your stride. A number of things will likely (hopefully) happen as a result of doing this. You'll probably get more of a knee bend. "Run tall and lean from the ankles" is what many will say.
Give that a try. And what would be even better is, if you can do a video, do it outside. I think the treadmill changes the dynamics enough it may not be a good indicator of what is going on. (Unless, of course, you ONLY run on the treadmill and plan on doing the majority of your running that way.)
"Kick off your high heel sneakers, it's party time."
-- From the song FM by Steely Dan
I agree with Haselsmasher, no messing with the barefoot/minimalist thing right now. From my perspective, you are way overthinking the whole stride thing. Slow down, slow way-way down and your stride (if it even has issues) will typically take care of itself as you get stronger and more adept at running.
Fat old man PRs:
The link to the barefoot site was intended ONLY to show the footplant, and that yours is OK. It was not intended to imply you should try barefoot. Like Jim said, running with a shorter stride will help.
I haven't looked at your videos and I am not experienced enough to comment on stride length however I do have two observations/comments.
1) The muscles trying to keep your lower leg, knee and ankle aligned as your foot lands and pronates lack sufficient strength, hence the shin splints.
2) Shipo's initial comment about to much too fast is probably the reason you are having issues (the same thing happened to me a few years ago when I started running more). Back off, slow down whatever it takes to slowly build the base for more running.
(for the record, I am 6'3", 210, in my 69th year and training for my first half marathon)

Debt-Ceiling Debate Plays Critical Role in Midterms
By most historical measures, Democrats are in for a rough year.
Twice as many Americans think the country is on the wrong track as those who think it's on the right one, according to the results of the last Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll. President Barack Obama's 43% approval rating is one of the lowest of any commander-in-chief entering his sixth year. And midterms are obviously unkind to the president's party.
And yet, Democrats claim a narrow edge on the question of which party Americans want to control Congress. By comparison, Republicans trailed Democrats by nine percentage points at this same stage in George W. Bush's presidency in 2006. The GOP lost the House and Senate that fall in a landslide.
Part of the explanation for the Democrats' unusually strong standing is that the Republican Party remains overwhelmingly unpopular. The GOP hovered right around its all-time lowest approval rating in the Journal poll, with 47% of those polled giving the party negative marks, compared with the 24% who view it positively.
Another factor is that Americans still blame Republicans more than Mr. Obama for the dysfunction in Washington. The latest Journal poll found that 51% of the respondents think congressional Republicans are too inflexible in their dealings with the president. In the survey, 39% said the same about Mr. Obama.
Much of that frustration with the GOP is the residual damage of the partial government shutdown in October. That explains why Republican leaders in the House are so eager to avoid another market-rattling showdown with Mr. Obama over the debt ceiling later this month, even if it means angering the same conservative activists who have maligned them for years.
As the focus in Washington turns to the debt-ceiling debate, the result of that standoff will go a long way to determine whether Republicans can avoid making themselves the story this fall and help ensure voters focus on Mr. Obama and his unpopular health law.
The outcome will help decide whether Republicans will have the wind at their back or Democrats can break historic trends.

Q&A: Zenzele Ndebele promotes radio in Zimbabwe
With Zimbabwe elections days away, the fight over access to the airwaves has intensified. The media environment has loosened slightly compared with previous years, but most Zimbabweans still lack access to independent sources of news, including radio. One person familiar with obstacles to broadcasting is Zenzele Ndebele, editor of Radio Dialogue, a community radio station based in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, founded in 2001.

Summaries for BRAT1 Gene
The protein encoded by this ubiquitously expressed gene interacts with the tumor suppressing BRCA1 (breast cancer 1) protein and and the ATM (ataxia telangiectasia mutated) protein. ATM is thought to be a master controller of cell cycle checkpoint signalling pathways that are required for cellular responses to DNA damage such as double-strand breaks that are induced by ionizing radiation and complexes with BRCA1 in the multi-protein complex BASC (BRAC1-associated genome surveillance complex). The protein encoded by this gene is thought to play a role in the DNA damage pathway regulated by BRCA1 and ATM. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012]
GeneCards Summary for BRAT1 Gene
BRAT1 (BRCA1 Associated ATM Activator 1) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with BRAT1 include rigidity and multifocal seizure syndrome, lethal neonatal and lethal neonatal spasticity-epileptic encephalopathy syndrome. GO annotations related to this gene include binding.
UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for BRAT1 Gene
Involved in DNA damage response; activates kinases ATM, SMC1A and PRKDC by modulating their phosphorylation status following ionizing radiation (IR) stress (PubMed:16452482, PubMed:22977523). Plays a role in regulating mitochondrial function and cell proliferation (PubMed:25070371). Required for protein stability of MTOR and MTOR-related proteins, and cell cycle progress by growth factors (PubMed:25657994).

AUSTIN – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Baseball team was scheduled to take on the Texas Longhorns Tuesday night at Disch – Falk Field, but weather in the area forced the cancellation of the contest before it could ever get started.
The teams held off on calling it until shortly before the scheduled first pitch, but the combination of heavy rain and lightning in the area saw the coaches agree to call it off and try to reschedule for a later date in the season.
The cancellation leaves the Islanders with just one midweek contest now, as the team will face the Corpus Christi Hooks on Wednesday night at Whataburger Field. Corpus Christi native Adam Hoelscher will get the start against the Astros AA minor league team, and it will be the first ever meeting between the two teams, with the exhibition scheduled to go off the day before the start of the Hooks regular season.
The game is set for a 7:05 p.m. start and will be streamed on www.CCHooks.com. Live stats will be available by visiting www.GoIslanders.com.

NEW: Disney working on stand-alone 'Star Wars' films
Published: Wednesday, February 6, 2013 at 6:08 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 6, 2013 at 6:08 a.m.
LOS ANGELES - Disney is mining The Force for even more new films.
Walt Disney Co. CEO Bob Iger said Tuesday that screenwriters Larry Kasdan and Simon Kinberg are working on stand-alone "Star Wars" movies that aren't part of the new trilogy that's in the works.
"There has been speculation about some standalone films that have been in development, and I can confirm to you today that in fact we are working on a few stand-alone films," Iger told CNBC.
Iger said the movies would be based on "great 'Star Wars' characters that are not part of the overall saga." The films would be released during the six-year period of the new trilogy, which starts in 2015 with "Star Wars: Episode VII."
Disney confirmed last month that "Star Trek" director J.J. Abrams will direct the seventh installment of the "Star Wars" saga.
Disney bought "Star Wars" maker Lucasfilm last year for more than $4 billion.
The last "Star Wars" trilogy, a prequel to the original films, was released from 1999 to 2005.

Citation: Cavagnaro, P.F., Chung, S., Manin, S., Atkins, A.E., Simon, P.W. 2010. New carrot microsatellites – linkage mapping, diversity analysis and transferability to other apiaceae [abstract]. Plant and Animal Genome Conference. P. 038. Technical Abstract: Nearly 300 new microsatellite, or simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were developed from genomic sequences of carrot. Efforts to map these markers and evaluate their usefulness in diversity studies are underway. In one F2 carrot population, a total of 51 polymorphic markers, including 37 codominant and 14 dominant SSRs, were placed in the reference carrot genetic map developed from a domesticated (B493) × wild (QAL) carrot cross. The mapped SSRs were distributed across all 9 linkage groups (LGs) of the carrot genome, with 3 to 9 markers/LG, recommending their usefulness for merging maps. Three SSRs in LG2 and LG5 were located in the vicinity of two highly-significant quantitative trait loci (QTL) for root carotenoid accumulation. Several microsatellites were closely linked (<10cM) to 16 carotenoid biosynthesis structural genes, suggesting that these repeats are relatively frequent in genic regions of the carrot genome. Ten unlinked microsatellite loci were used to investigate genetic relationships among 77 cultivated and wild Daucus accessions from diverse origins. In this germplasm, 214 alleles were identified, with an average of 21.4 alleles/SSR (range was 10-30) and a mean heterozygosity of 0.84. Cluster analysis revealed a structured population, generally differentiating wild carrot from cultivated carrots. When other wild Daucus subspecies and species were included in the analysis, they were usually clustered with the wild carrot accessions. A relatively high degree of marker transferability to carrot-related taxa suggests their potential applicability in other Apiaceae.
