Detroit Film Theatre
Saturday, September 29, 2012
As we visit the very buildings where the first movies were created, we see that ideas and passion have always driven film – even more than money and marketing. We learn the stories of the first movie stars, the first use of close-ups and of special effects and then we travel to Hollywood to see how it grew into its own myth. The story is full of surprises, including the fact that the best (and best paid) writers in these early years were women. With the building of the great movie cathedrals, we enter the fascinating story of the movies in the roaring 20s, learning how Hollywood became a glittering industry and how visionaries like Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton emerged. At the same time, the gloss was countered by the likes of Robert Flaherty, Eric Von Stroheim and Carl Theodor Dreyer, who believed films could be more mature. Together, Parts One and Two examine the battle over the soul of cinema – and some of the greatest movies ever made. (120 min.)
Admission to all showings in the Story of Film series is free to DIA members. Please show your membership card to the ticket taker to gain admittance.
The DFT's Crystal Gallery Café will be closed during September and the first two weeks of October due to glass and metalwork restoration of the café's three monumental windows. Please excuse our dust while we complete this exciting project, the finished work will help to preserve the historic ironwork window frames of Samuel Yellin, and give visitors a beautiful view of the night sky and midtown museum campus along John R. During construction, beverages and light snacks will be continue to served on the ground floor in the central Loggia space near the theater entrance.

Engineered Hardwood: Inlaid transition?
1 Attachment(s)
I'm thinking of installing engineered hardwood on a floor in my house. Essentially, what I have is an approx 10ft long hallway. At each end of the hallway is a bedroom. See the attached layout for more detail.
Basically, I'd like to put a transition under each bedroom door. The planks run perpendicular to the transition (I guess that's obvious).
What I'm worried about is the planks that run in the hallway between the transitions, since they won't have any room at the ends (I'd like them to butt up tightly with the transition pieces).
I don't like the look of the "regular" transition pieces that sit on top of the wood and would prefer one that sits inlaid or flush.
1) Is there a name for this type of transition?
2) Can I do this with engineered hardwood?
3) Are there any tricks to help me make the planks land tightly against the transition (i.e., do I cut each one carefully, or lay them all and mark with a straight edge? Cut in place?)
4) Am I "way" better off making it one continuous floor?
Any and all help is appreciated!
I'm moderately competent at this sort of thing, so if precise cutting is required I'm sure I'll be able to do it (but I will make a lot of scrap...) but I don't know if the floor be ok (or will it buckle?).
It is called a "Reducer."
I am sure they make then for your flooring style
Its called a header board and really makes for a sharp appearance. Often seen in higher end homes or done by installers that really take pride in their work. Theyre normally used where the wood floor ends and meets up against carpet.
Personally Id run it straight through and forget about the headers but thats me. If you do go ahead with it and Im assuming its not a floating floor(problems with that method here). You really want to connect everything tongue and groove otherwise over time you will get squeaking once the area is walked on enough times been there...my own house!
Install the headers and work off them in both directions. You will have to cut pieces to fit in the middle of the hall and router (with slot cutter) out some grooves so once again they dont squeak.
Header Boards......hmmmm
We call that "boards turned sideways",I only install them at the customers request,and they are requested very little expect by builders who are to cheap to get the proper reducer.
If you have doorways opposite each other, one side will not have a beveled/finished edge or a tongue and groove insert unless one is modified, this will allow moisture intrustion and could lead to premature wearing.
Then you have an exposed edge on the carpet side unless your carpet is 3/4 tall, providing you are working with 3/4 wood.
Get the correct Reducer, if you need to tuck carpet to the edge trim the face of the reducer just enough to get a good fluid tuck and flow.
Are those pictures of your work ? Looks good but...
Not Carpet to Carpet
So, basically what I'm going for is the the headerboard shown in Hardwood guy's photo, except it won't be a transition from hardwood to carpet, it's hardwood to hardwood. So, both sides of the header board be the same height (and thus, not a reducer I think)
I'm considering this approach because I think it looks nice. I'd probably use a plank with a different stain (so it would be darker or lighter than the rest of the floor).
I was hoping there would be a good trick for installing without having to rely on super-accurate cuts.
As for the tongue and grove, I think they should all line up. In the floor plan I attached, if I install the boards so the "end-tongue" points up, and the headerboard's side-tongue points up as well, then they'll all lock into place. No?
Is there any concern about expansion between the two headerboards? The wood there won't be able to expand along it's length (which I believe is ok, right?)
Thanks again.
No reason to think about expansion. Otherwise some of the finest hardwood flooring designs would look awful, if they considered such.
With the header board you'll essentially have a tongue facing one way and the groove another. Difficult to explain but they will interlock if they're milled straight. The largest obstacle is going to be the engineeerd hardwood you're using. Some may have repititous lengths, making it troblesome to get a good random look.
The only cuts you'll need are in the center of the hallway. All the other pieces will join together at the header boards engaged by the tongue and groove. There's much more to this procedure than mentioned. Getting very precise cuts in the hall is key. And if it's a beveled floor you'll have to reproduce that.
I thought I had some pics.
We are all forgetting that engineered wood was mentioned.
If your floating the wood then a headerboard will not work.
Only for Glue or nail will a headerboard work....

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
We live in Pullman, WA, the apartment is in Chicago, IL. She claims the money needs to come from the owners of the house, but the lease we signed has her name on it.
The answer is unfortunately "it depends." Illinois landlord-tenant law is controlled by state law and local ordinances, such as the Chicago Landlord-Tenant Ordinance ("RLTO"). Additionally a major source of legal rights and duties of both landlord and tenant comes from the written lease, which is interpreted by contract law principles.
Here, Illinois state law and the RLTO provides a duty to certain landlords (depending on the size and structure of the building the apartment was located in) to repay security deposits within a short amount of time. Additionally, the landlord is required in Chicago to provide a written receipt upon accepting a security deposit or else forfeit the entire amount on demand. As far as who to sue, an attorney will likely have to check the specifics of the lease to see what it provides for.
However, I must caution you regarding the size of the deposit. You likely will want to hire an attorney to represent you in small claims court since you live in Washington state. The filing and process fees in Cook County will be roughly $200 (which you can get back if sucessful) and an attorney will likely charge at least that if not more to draft pleadings and attending court dates (which, in limited circumstances under the RLTO can be recoverable as well). However, the cost of pursuing action is at least if not more than what you are seeking to recover. You should consider whether the risk of litigation (nothing can be guarenteed) is worth the possibility of recovering such a sum.
Disclaimer: Please note that this answer does not constitute legal advice, and should not be relied on, since each state has different laws, each situation is fact specific, and it is impossible to evaluate a legal problem without a comprehensive consultation and review of all the facts and documents at issue. This answer does not create an attorney-client relationship.Ask a similar question
I agree with Mr. Minelli.

Deputies look to ID Abita Springs cash register robber
ABITA SPRINGS - Sheriff's deputies in St. Tammany Parish asked for help identifying a man wanted for robbing an Abita Springs drug store Saturday night.
Deputies said a man entered the Walgreens at 70997 Hwy 59 in Abita Springs around 7:30 p.m. and grabbed cash from the register when the cashier was giving another customer change.
The robber then ran from the store and left the scene. Deputies said they were driving a silver four-door Pontiac Grand Am.
Law enforcement said the man is also believed to have used the same approach to rob a Walgreens in Covington, and said anyone with information about that crime should contact Covington Police at (985) 867-1200.
Anyone who recognizes the suspect or the vehicle from the Abita Springs robbery is urged to contact Detective Matt Vazquez at (985) 726-7830.

"What is the best way for me to improve my English," the students ask. Students who aren't in my classes stop me on campus several times a year, to ask this question. My own students ask the same. I tell them, "Purchase and listen to CDs or cassette tapes. Get book-audio courses over at the bookstore. You can listen to the audio over and over and over. You'll have the books for years. Also read, read, read, read exciting English fiction" This has been my best, and sincere answer. It has been.
Now, I suggest, in addition - that as further motivation to study - that they sign up for, and take, every English language proficiency test available to them in China. Take CET-4, CET-6, TEM-4, TEM-8, IELTS, TOEFL, Public Test of English, etc., etc. Take, and pass, (or fail), each one - one after the other. Sign up, and show up, for every English test available in China."
Next I tell them why. They can purchase prep courses at any college bookstore, or at Xin Hua, for these tests. These cram courses are tape or CD and workbook or book format. Shops sell two and three and four different products for each test! The extra instruc- tion and listening, (each course provides abundant audio), supplied by the different major test-targeted prep courses, for say, seven separate tests, (times two to four - remember that each test is "covered" by as many as four test-course manufacturers), should place a student several marathon miles ahead of his or her closest local college or university competition.
Incentive is provided by the challenge of beating the examinations, and by the prestige that accompanies the passings.
A surprise extra benefit provided is the incredible listing attained, to place under the EDUCATION heading of the English language student's resume. Immediately under the degree(s) catalogued, will appear a list of three to seven recognized test conquests. This profound addition to a recent graduate's CV means he or she gets the job.
Clair Lasater has taught English at the Beijing Youth Political College; and as professor, at Zhangjiajie College of Jishou University, Ling Ling University - (now the Hunan University of Science and Engineering), Shunde Polytechnic College, Maoming University, and Hainan University. He lectures, currently, at Shandong Jiaotong University.

Today I had to choose between going to vote or $20 and to be honest, I hesitated.
Technically speaking my choice was actually between a mandatory event at my campus or going to vote, as both fall into my only 2 hour span of free time, but only one is going to charge me for lack of attendance.
I can practically feel your judgement leaking through the computer screen, so before you think too poorly of me rest assured that my desire for representation outweighed my desire for extra grocery money.
Earlier this month, my home state of North Carolina succesfully fought off stricter voting laws that would require a government photo ID to vote. It was a relief. The legislature had failed to override Governor Perdue's veto of the bill, and an onslaught of bills that would make voting more difficult for thousands of people failed to pass too. Other states are facing there own battles against voter ID laws. In 2011 and 2012, 11 states passed voter ID laws. Looking at this trend, I'm reminded that that power elite will continually do what it takes to gain more power.
President Obama kicked off his re-election campaign in Columbus, Ohio this weekend... coincidence? I think not. He is acknowledging the youth vote that won him the election, starting with the largest University in one of the most important swing states. Two main messages were clear: "I believe in you. I'm asking you to keep believing in me." & "Corporations are not people."
.. and for the most part, WE AGREE. Corporations are not people. Students are outraged that student debt has reached 1 TRILLION DOLLARS in a society plagued with unemployment and where corporations get bailed out to keep financing decisions that only benefit them.

Yesterday I had an appointment with my doctor who is in a very well known Cardiology group in Germantown, TN.
At the end of my exam I asked her why they had a "No Guns" sign on the outside door of the clinic. This was my 2nd appointment with her and like the 1st time, I disarmed before entering the building. On this visit I explained to her I was licensed to carry and was disappointed that I had to disarm when coming to her office. She said she understood and thanked me for leaving my handgun in the car.
She explained the sign went up a couple of years ago after an incident involving a patient who had a TN handgun carry permit, was armed, and brandished his weapon after getting frustrated with his lengthy wait to see his doctor. She said the police were called and the man was disarmed and escorted out of the building by a few Germantown Police SWAT officers.
This was very frustrating to hear that an irrational HCP holder was responsible for the loss of my and other legal carriers' rights in this facility. Fortunately I only have to see her 2 times a year.

^^ Although it does make the facility's decision to ban guns on premises a little more understandable. Not smart, per se, but understandable. If a bear came *that* close to mauling you as a small child, you may grow up not wanting to be around bears again, even trained bears (or perhaps even with a solid barrier between you and the bear).
Sucks when one stupid guy ruins it for everyone else though...
Like it or not, as the number of CCW permitees increases, the number of idiots with a ccw license will increase. This in turn is guaranteed to eventually cause some high-profile cases of ccw holders doing very bad things. That in turn will create political pressure to restrict ccw permits. Where we'll end up I don't know, but around and around we will go...
A traffic ticket is formal recognition of a lapse in situational awareness.
I can understand the docs postion, don't agree, but I can see her side of the issue. Would be a non-issue here, as SC does not permit CC in doctors offices or hospitals.
So when the next "bad apple" shows up and begins shooting people, who's going to stop him?
With the same mentality I worry about some "idiot" who has a CCL opening fire in a mall to stop a purse snatcher and killing an innocent bystander.
The outcome could change public opinion, and get legislatures to terminate civilian CCL in that state, and then it could spread across the nation like wildfire.
Bad situation, though ultimately "bad apples" won't pay attention to the sign that was posted. I guess the sign would give some a warm and fuzzy feeling, but how has it really helped?
Too bad about some idiot, using poor judgment, and ruined it for others, but there are no guarantees that idiots don't exist in all walks of life.
Helpful hints on pushing back and strengthening the 2A:
Maybe next time ask the good Dr. would she be willing to remove the sign? Give CCW'ers a second chance. Maybe offer her a free trip to the range sometime.

It is the youngest among university centers of the state, and has grown to be a flagship institution of New York, consistently being ranked as the top public university in New York by multiple publications. The university is one of the 62 research universities that comprise the Association of American Universities (AAU), an invitation-only organization of leading research universities in North America. It is also a member of the larger Universities Research Association for which Stony Brook's president Dr. Samuel Stanley Jr is council president. It has been ranked among the top thirty-five public research universities in the United States, and among the top 1% of universities in the world. Stony Brook has additional smaller campuses in Manhattan and Southampton.
The institution was founded in 1957 in Oyster Bay as State University College on Long Island. What would become the university moved to Stony Brook in 1962. Since its establishment in Stony Brook, the university has expanded to include more than 200 major buildings with a combined area of more than 11 million gross square feet across 1,454 acres of land.
The university owns the Stony Brook University Medical Center, co-manages the Brookhaven National Laboratory, and in 2005 acquired land for a Research & Development Park adjacent to its main campus, and has four business incubators across the region. The university has a regional economic impact of over $4.6 billion annually accounting for nearly 4% of economic activity in eastern Long Island and research expenditures that have surpassed the $200 million mark annually.

Retrieving Main Halyard from top of Mast?
Okay, Im embarrassed but went out for my first sail of the season after working most every winter weekend on the boat. Everything went great, light (5-10-15 knots) wind, clear/sunny skies, 70s, cruising around for about 5 hours. Coming back to the slip about ready to lower the sails and pop I look up and see the mainsail shackle has let loose of the main and it slacks and begins to fall. I had already started the motor so I just rounded up and lowered the sail and motored on in. At the slip I notice the main halyard/shackle remains at the top of the mast and the shackle is open. Im wondering, did it fail, or did I fail to properly fasten it well, its an over-center design with a pull pin similar to what you see on a snap shackle (sorry, I dont know all the terminology here) it held for 4-5 hours, why did it suddenly let loose. Well, it was evening/dinner time so off to the cabin to take care of that and slept on it overnight. I have a bosuns chair (never been used), but no line to climb the tail of the main halyard is run through mast so no exposed line to ride (probably wouldnt be to smart to rely on the shackle/knot at the head for tension anyway) the headsail is on a roller furling, so unless I want to dismantle all that I cant use the headsail halyard not too fond of heights anyway, so I can I do this from the deck?.
Next morning made a run to Home Depot and got 3-10 sections of ¾ rigid EMT (I was going to use PVC, but an in-store test proved the PVC too flexible) with connectors, duck taped a bent coat hanger to it and went air fishing for my halyard. Actually touched the halyard/shackle a couple of times but didnt hook it and between the 30 height, weight of pipe (its bending and twisting under its own weight especially at the connectors which I had drilled through for a more secure connection), wind, and gentle rocking boat it was quite difficult to control. A neighbor suggests a net or something to snag it. I have some fishnet for a storage hammock I havent yet installed so I cut a wad of it and attach it to the pole. I got it up there again (no jokes please) and brushed it a couple of times before the wind caught it and bent it way over until it bent and broke and fell into the open slip beside me (I made sure it fell that way, if any, instead of onto the boat the other side of me I hope my slip neighbor doesnt read this). So, 20 of the pole and the fishnet were sacrificed to the lake gods and I called it quite.
So now for the question(s) How do I get my main halyard back down? Why did the shackle let go? Is the shackle I have the proper hardware for the halyard? How do I keep this from ever happening again?
At a previous lake they had a pole with ladder rungs along side the dock for climbing and retrieving for this very scenario. At my marina they have a pole for mast stepping with winches but I do not believe they are for public use. So, short of paying marina service fro retrieving my halyard what are my options? I know an inspection of the shackle after retrieval will be required to answer some of the questions. To assure this doesnt happen again I could tie a retrieving line to it but dont really want that flogging around. Alternatively I could tie some weight to it to overcome the counterbalanced weight of the line I wonder how much weight it would take?
Do you have a head sail you can drop and go up on that halyard?
Like Ray said....If you trust you jib halyard...unfurl and drop your jib and ascend using your chair ( If its not fractional rigged ) sounds like your using the wrong shackle...should not be a snap shackle..
I would like previously sugessted, simply unfurl and drop the Genny and go up after it. Its not that difficult to do.
But, didn't Alex have a way of doing this with out going up?
Seems I remember this question coming up before.
I got this from Sail Magazine.com, Cruising Tips - October 2005. Hope it helps. I used a Coat Hanger for the stiff line mentioned in the article with great success. Good Luck
Halyard retrieval
Losing a halyard up the mast is always a big pain in the rear, but if the mast in question has a spare halyard on it, there's a good chance you can bring the lost halyard back to the deck without leaving the deck yourself. Take a spare line, preferably an older one that is slightly stiff from a little too much exposure to salt and sun, and make a noose with a slip knot at the end of it. Then take your spare halyard's snapshackle and clasp the shackle around the standing part of your retrieval line just below the noose you made (the slip knot must be big enough that it does not slide through the snapshackle). The noose should be opened as wide as possible without going limp.
Next use the spare halyard to hoist the noose aloft into close proximity with the end of the lost halyard. By twitching your end of the spare halyard and the retrieval line with a bit of creative body English, you should eventually be able to get the noose around the end of the lost halyard. Then all you need do is yank on the retrieval line to close the noose. Pull the retrieval line back down to the deck and both the spare halyard and the lost halyard will come down with it.

You might be able to use your topping lift to go up the mast.
Faced with the same problem on my Catalina 22 some years ago, I solved it by using the jib halyard. I tied a spare line to the the shackle of the jib halyard and belayed the line. Then, using the jib halyard as it passed through the sheave atop the mast, and came down the aft side, I stood on the cabin top and began whipping the jib halyard in circles.
Took only about 5 minutes before I had snagged the shackle on the main halyard; then, it was a simple matter to untie the spare line I'd tied to the jib halyard, and pull the main halyard down using the jib halyard.
Actually wrote a little piece about this for my yacht club :-)

Heres a picture of a proper main sail Head board shackle.
On several of the boats I have sailed on, including mine... whoever loses the halyard up the mast has to recover it... and they have to buy a round for the rest of the boat's crew.
Thanks for the alternative suggestions. This will fill in some of the above questions.
It is a masthead rig not fractional.
The headsail is rigged with a roller furling that I would have to dismantle to use the halyard.
I do not have a topping lift...I have a Hi/Lo Reefer (yes, I know..and it says it in big red letters on the side of the boom) in-boom roller for the main.
My shackle (as came with the boat) does not look like the Head Board Shackle picture above...it looks more like a snap shackle with the plunger pin (maybe I can get the PO that installed the wrong shackle to go up and get it...although I didn't know enough to know it was wrong...all this time I just thought it was more "convenient"...the crew I had that day didn't drink, but I sure did especially after this special event)
So I guess I'll be dismantling the headsail roller furling (can I get some help with how to do that?...I'm sure I can get it apart/down, but are there any tricks to reinstalling/adjusting it?) one way or another. I like and understand the concept of the "twitchy noose/spare line" concept since it keeps me from going up there. Although with my in-boom furler the mainsail luff runs in a track that stands off the mast 3-4" and stops short of the top of the mast 6-12" so the two (headsail & mainsail halyards) don't meet up...maybe I can use the concept and make something work.
So thanks for the input so far, but I'm still open to more if it keeps my feet on the deck.

Swiss drive to boost UAE business links
The Beau-Rivage Palace Hotel will be among the participants in a two-day exhibition of Swiss Excellence at the Swiss Embassy in Abu Dhabi next week. Swiss expertise in areas as diverse as hospitality, jewelry design, healthcare and private education, will be showcased before an invited audience in Abu Dhabi next week as part of an initiative to boost United Arab Emirates (UAE)-Swiss business links.
The Beau-Rivage Palace Hotel in Lausanne, which attracts regular visitors from the UAE and other parts of the Middle East, will be among the participants in a two-day exhibition of Swiss products and services at the Swiss Embassy in the UAE capital on March 18-19.
The two–day event, "Swiss Excellence for Emirati Ladies", is the second of its kind to be hosted by the Swiss Ambassador, Francois Barras, inside six months. Another similar event will follow in October.
"The Swiss companies taking part have opportunities not only to showcase their products and services, but also to establish contact with potential business partners in the UAE," said the general manager of the Beau-Rivage Palace, Christian Marich.
The Beau-Rivage Palace, well-established as a discreet leisure, business and conference venue on the shores of Lake Geneva, provides a strong link between the main participants in Abu Dhabi.
Offering Arab guests guidance over selection of private schools, health care, and beauty treatment, the hotel has close links with the famous College Brillantmont and the highly reputed Clinic Mont Choisi, both of which will also be represented in Abu Dhabi. — (menareport.com)

Off-kilter light fixture in bathroom
I'm replacing an old light fixture in my bathroom.
The light hangs above a mirror. The black & white wires run across about 1" of wall below it to get to the outlet box behind the mirror.
New light has a black, white and bare ground.
Can I run the ground across 1" of wall to mount it to the ground in the outlet box?
It seems safe, but since it's bare and in a sometimes damp bathroom it makes me nervous.
Should I wrap it in electrical tape where it's exposed, or just tuck it inside the light fixture & leave it ungrounded?
A white and black wire is running behind the wall into the outlet box? Wires cannot be ran in such a way, they need to be in a cable, like romex.
Is there a way you can get pictures?
A black & white wire is running in front of the wall. Picture as requested!
The ground is on the left, wrapped in black electrical tape. Regular black & white on right. A mirror covers all of this and runs flush under the light fixture.
That doesn't look very good...Do you think you can run romex (a type of cable) inside the wall to your fixture?
That looks like a fire hazard.
I hope that isn't your work BTW.
Do you mean connect those to a romex, drop it in the wall, and connect the other end of the romex to the outlet box? Possibly, but I hesitate because I rent.
Just curious, which part is a fire hazard? The ground?
Re: "I hope that isn't your work BTW."
Original was wired that way without the ground. I'm asking if it's okay to do it this way with the addition of the ground, taped off in that manner.
With or without a ground, it is not OK to do it that way. Relocate the box to the proper position, behind the light.
Lovely. That means buying a new mirror, the existing one is too tall.
Whole apt is rigged like this. Ceiling light in kitchen is mounted to a ceiling tile, no outlet box, no ground. Yay!
You rent? ...the landlord should be the one that gets the things fixed, he should also know about the "fixes" that have been done.
Landlord said it was okay to swap out the light. I also think the landlord is the one who rigged it this way in the first place.
Can I just cap & tape the wires in the outlet box and get rid of the light all together?
You can certainly unscrew those wire nuts and remove the wires leading to the fixture. Ditch the electrical tape on the nuts, makes it look even worse. Make sure power is off first, by using a wiggy (little light up testers, very cheap)
Cool, thanks for all the quick and thorough feedback. :)
No problem.

Chicken tikka is out. Khaman-dhokla is in. Rashtrapati Bhavan is all set to spread out an all-vegetarian snacks menu on May 26 for its 3000-odd guests at the oath-taking function of the Modi government.
Not only has the usual menu, which consists of both vegetarian and non-veg dishes, been shelved but it is even undergoing last minute changes. All because of Narendra Modi who, in his farewell speech on Wednesday, had quipped, "Gujrati will be spoken in the PMO. You will also find khaman-dhokla!"
Top sources told HT that President Pranab Mukherjee noted Modi's remarks and issued necessary instructions to bring in elements of Gujarat in the menu for the guests. Rashtrapati Bhavan officials promptly got in touch with Gujarat Bhavan officials in Delhi to seek suggestions for the menu.
Earlier, a simple menu was sealed: kachauri, veg patties, imarti and tea.
"The menu is evolving now", said a source in the Rashtrapati Bhavan.
Sources also added that the catering for 26 May event has been outsourced and Rashtrapati Bhavan cooks, who in the past received mixed reviews for the recipe, will not be involved.

"Saturday Night Live" alumni Maya Rudolph and Molly Shannon have reunited on the small screen once again for NBC's "Up All Night," and the "Bridesmaids" star says she couldn't be happier to be working with her former "SNL" mentor.
"I think I asked [Molly] and Will Ferrell how to read the cue cards because no one explained anything to me, because I came in at the end of my season," Maya explained to AccessHollywood.com's Laura Saltman of how she and Molly first became friends on the late night sketch show back in 2000, during a visit to the "Up All Night" set in Los Angeles on Friday. "It was really scary to come in like that and not know anyone.
PLAY IT NOW: Trailer: 'Friends With Kids'
"It was like starting school with three weeks left and everybody knew where to sit in the cafeteria and I was really scared and overwhelmed and [Molly] was just so great and she said, 'This is how I do it,'" Maya recounted. "Molly really beats to her own drum. She doesn't do it like anybody else."
The hilarious pair teamed up again on Molly's show, "Kath & Kim," and again when Molly returned to host "Saturday Night Live" while Maya was still a castmember.

"I was lucky enough to work with her when she came back to host the show and it was really neat to finally know how to do the show and then watch her do it," she said. "She's just so one of a kind... she's so good."
In addition to Maya's over-the-top daytime talk show host character on "Up All Night," fans of the comedienne are anxiously awaiting a sequel to her side-splittingly funny big screen hit, "Bridesmaids."
Unfortunately, the actress says has "no pull" when it comes to a possible follow-up film.

"I'm not in charge of whether we do a sequel. I'm fine whatever anybody wants to do," she told Laura. "I love that group so much, so if we end up doing something together in a different way that would be great too."
Adding, "I think that by now it's established we loved working together and I can't imagine doing a movie like that without one of us -- that would just be bizarre and strange."

If you have friends and family that live far away a web cam can help with keeping in contact. We bought our first web cam from ebay for £2. It was a VGA unbranded camera from China. The picture quality was rubbish and so we decided to get a better camera.
HP have 3 web cams; deluxe, premium autofocus and elite autofocus. This review looks at the premium autofocus web cam which at £31 is the middle range out of all three. This was bought at Tesco's but it is available in most good electronic stores as well from hp directly. It was being discontinued at Tesco's and so I got it for £15. Web cams are rather expensive, especially if you want to get a good quality one and this one is a mid range web cam. Most of the new laptops come with a web cam and so I am not really sure if removable web cam such as this is really in demand and consequently I don't think there is a huge selection is the market.
The web cam is black with a clip so that it fits on top of the computer monitor or laptop screen. But it also has a silver colouring on the top and bottom of the web cam which distinguishes it from the deluxe web cam. There are 3 buttons on top of the camera that are used when you want to video the conversation, take a picture and microphone control. The clip is really good as I found with the last web cam when I tried to move the position of the camera it would fall off rather than move. There is an adjustable neck to the camera so that the position of the camera is quite easy to adjust.
If you take still images then the resolution is 12 megapixel which is right given that it is a mid range camera and the video is a 2 megapixels. There is an inbuilt microphone which I think is really good as the sound quality has been good and I haven't had any problems with the sound. The video quality is equally just as good as the images are sharp and clear. Remember that it is the person you are calling that sees what the quality of the image and sound is of the camera but you also see your own image if you are using skype.
The only problem I have with the web camera is that unfortunately no matter how much I try to adjust it I can't increase the field of vision and this means that only two people can fit into the video image at a time. This is disappointing as it would be better if everyone (5 of us) could be seen at the same time. This is a major disadvantage for me but it is something that I can live with.
The focus is automatic and it is NOT compatible with the mac operating system. It comes with a CD that the driver can be installed from. The picture resolution for videos is 1600 by 1200 pixels. It also comes with a high speed USB connecter.
This is a mid range web cam that is affordable and easy to use. It is ideal for desktop computers as well as laptops as it is relatively compact and is adjustable. The field of view is rather restricted so it is possibly better for when one person wants to contact their friends and family. By this I mean it is good for those at University rather than one large family contacting someone else.


text: I drove both the new V and the M3 (coupe not 4 door). The M3 looks nice on the outside but the interior is aweful compared to the V. Not sure what things are being considered. The M3 engine wasn't as much fun as the V either and I thought the V rode better and handled just as well. I was as impressed with the V as I was unimpressed with the M3 (considering all the magazines gushing about it all the time). Now to keep things in perspective and to show that I am not a fanboy of either I ended up buying a GTR.

Can Dog TV Make a Profit?Julian Sancton
Gilad Neumann wants to be clear: He does not want to turn your dog into a couch potato. But if you're going out for a few hours, he hopes that soon you'll leave your television on and tuned to his new cable channel, Dog TV, the first channel directly targeting canine viewers.
"Veterinary associations like the Humane Society and the ASPCA have been recommending for dog owners to leave the TV or radio on when they leave their dog home alone for many hours," says Neumann, Dog TV's founder and chief executive officer. However, "not every video that you leave your dog with is appropriate," he says. "[Anything that contains] fireworks or gunfire could scare your dog and create more stress than no TV." Dog TV's programming, on the other hand, is meant to soothe your dog's abandonment anxiety—and spare your furniture—while he or she is alone.
Dog TV went live on Feb. 12 after four years of dog-market research and several hundred thousand dollars of pre-seed money (Neumann won't give a specific amount). For now, it's available only to Time Warner Cable and Cox Media customers in the dog-loving city of San Diego, a test market of about 1 million cable subscribers. Jasmine Group, the Israeli production company behind Dog TV, hopes to expand across the U.S. by the end of the year, and start charging a premium of $4.99 per month. The company believes this is a small price for absentee dog owners to pay to assuage their guilt—especially compared with doggy day-care rates, which can range from $40 to $50.
Watch a few minutes of Dog TV—a beagle and a Pekingese cavorting in a field set to cheery Muzak, say—and you'd be forgiven for confusing it with the Puppy Channel, the terminally cute, all-puppies-all-the-time experiment that hit its peak in the late '90s before becoming a casualty of the dot-com bubble and setting a daunting precedent for other dog-centric programming. But a lot has changed in the last decade, both in entertainment and in man-pet relations: There are an increasing number of pampering products and services that extend human comforts to dogs, from gourmet food to therapy. And Dog TV, after all, isn't for humans. For one thing, the colors will seem off, since they've been calibrated to suit dogs' limited vision. (Essentially color-blind, dogs can only see shades of blue and yellow.) "We're constantly doing … you can call them focus groups for groups for dogs," says Neumann. "We've noticed, for example, that dogs are not thrilled about barking on the channel, so we've removed almost all barking."
The content is relatively cheap to produce: Videos are shot largely in San Diego and Israel, canine actors don't need to be paid, there are no elaborate sets, and the veterinarian-approved music is written and performed in-house. Short segments play throughout the day and are designed to alternately soothe and stimulate the viewer.
There are, as yet, no plans to air dog sitcoms, dog procedurals, or any form of narrative content. "We're not creating CSI for dogs," says Neumann. The reason, he says, is not so much that dogs wouldn't be able to follow a narrative show. On the contrary: He's worried they would get hooked. "We're not creating a TV channel for dogs so they sit there for eight hours a day." Dog TV's goal, he says, is simply to "create a good environment for the dogs."
In a video on Dog TV's website, Nick Dodman, a Tufts University veterinarian who acts as an adviser to the channel, says, "One thing that people shouldn't expect is for their dog to sit, as we do, in front of the TV and stare at the screen for hours and hours. It's more of a backdrop." If dogs are not expected to react to the screen, and owners aren't around to see how the dogs behave in their absence, how can subscribers be sure they're not just paying $4.99 a month for glorified—and discolored—YouTube videos? "A hundred percent of the time, [owners] get research-based content in which both music and video are completely appropriate for their dog," says Neumann. "There's nothing to irritate, stress, or scare your dog."
The channel's creators are planning to attract advertising, but aren't yet sure how to integrate it into the programming. "The advertising is mostly going to be on our digital [platforms], because we know it's difficult to advertise on the channel for the dogs because it's not really effective."
If Dog TV is a success domestically, Jasmine Group hopes to expand internationally. "It's an advantage of the channel that we can move the content to any country because the language is not significant," says Yossi Uzrad, president of Jasmine Group and a producer of films such as The Band's Visit, Israel's official entry to the 2008 Oscars. Because Jasmine owns all the rights to the content, Uzrad foresees other growth opportunities. "People can buy Dog TV music and put it in the car while they're driving, for example," he says.

Aussie brides choose Bali to wed over any other destination. Ian Lloyd Neubauer reveals the island's most popular venues to say I do.
Bali is the No.1 destination for Australians marrying overseas. And for an added bonus, you're already at one of the world's great honeymoon destinations.
The most daunting thing about getting married in Bali is the incredible diversity of venues to choose from. From glass-encased villas with 360-degree ocean views, to botanical gardens edged by rainforest, to ancient Hindu temples that look like movie sets, Bali is a wedding planner's dream.
To help you plan yours, we list five very different venues at very different price points at five different parts of the island.
Space Villas @ Seminyak
Just north of the airport on Bali's west coast, Seminyak is reckoned to be the most upmarket and exciting part of the island. Home to legendary beach club Kudeta, high-end boutiques such as Horn Emporium, bargain-priced spas such as Bodyworks and world-class restaurants such as Metis, Seminyak is the place to be in Bali.
Seminyak has dozens of top-tier hotels - the W, the Legian and the Sea Sentosa Resort among others. But for a more intimate wedding or honeymoon experience, try a private villa with butler service and private pool.
"The villa business is extremely popular in Bali and there are now hundreds of them here, but they tend to be a bit hit and miss," says Stephen Michie, manager of Space Villas, a series of one- and two-bedroom villas located behind Seminyak Beach.
"You may find a stunning villa in the middle of a rice field but they may not have a back-up generator in case the power goes out, or the internet's no good, or the staff don't speak English - things that can put a damper on your stay."
Space Villa offers three- and five-day wedding packages that as a minimum include a celebrant, civil registrar, all the paperwork and VIP wedding staff. Ceremonies can be private and low-key or outrageous and loud with all the bells and whistles included: flower girls, Balinese dancers and a band, and even a whole roasted pig with an apple in its mouth if you fancy.
Sea Sentosa @ Canggu
Half an hour's drive from Seminyak but a million metaphorical miles away, the village on Bali's mid-west coast is the place of choice for expats living on the island. Think paddy-fields interspersed with Hindu temples, traditional Balinese homes and a growing number of luxury villas, restaurants, bars, yoga studios and boutiques. Throw in Echo Beach - one of the world's most famous surfing spots - and you've got a wedding and holiday destination writ large.
Due to open in Canggu in time for the high season in July, Sea Sentosa is going to be epic. Its 150 apartments and penthouses come with private infinity-edged pools, sun decks and "vertical gardens" grown on walls. Guests will have three Olympic-size swimming pools, a cabana-lined lagoon pool, a beach club, restaurants, cafes, bars, a retail precinct and a medical centre.
"We received our first bookings for weddings months before we opened," chief executive Ian Duffell says. "From what I understand, it's hard to a find a venue in Bali that can cater to a large number of guests. Our beach club can seat 500 people in a seafront setting and we can cater to wedding parties of just about any size. We've got a hairdressing salon, a beauty salon and spa - and pastry chefs to make your dream wedding cake, and our own photographers. It's a one-stop for getting married in Bali."
Alam Asmara @ Candidasa
Looking directly onto the translucent blue waters on Bali's south-east coast, Candidasa is the Bali of yesteryear - a tranquil fishing village reminiscent of Seminyak in the 1980s. Diving and snorkelling are the main attractions here, but it's also a great place for honeymoons and small weddings.
A luxury dive resort and romantic hideaway, Candidasa's Alam Asmara Dive Resort has 12 luxury bungalows wrapped in fishponds, a spa, dive shop, infinity-edged seafront pool and a seafront restaurant that's all about fresh seafood. Try the pan-seared mahi-mahi, or the oven-baked snapper and lobster with Balinese herbs and spices - and that's just the entree.
Alam Asmara's wedding packages are exceptionally well priced. They include three nights in three bungalows, airport transfers, breakfast, a blessing ceremony, spa treatment and make-up for the bride, flower arrangements, fruit baskets, a wedding cake, photography, a celebrant and all the legal stuff.
"We do secular weddings but it's much more fun to do a Balinese one," manager Ida Bagus Widana says. "We fit the bride and groom in traditional dress and invite a symbolic Hindu priest, and of course it includes the wedding procession with 11 flower girls and all the offerings for the ceremony.
"The wedding usually takes place by the pool, but we can do it anywhere - on the beach, there are so many places to choose from, or in the Tirtaganga Water Palace if they like, it's very beautiful there. We take the bride and groom to Denpasar to sign all the papers and make it official. We've only done seven weddings so far, but they all came out perfectly. It made all of us very happy here."
Murni's Houses @ Ubud
Set in a velvet-green valley in south-central Bali, Ubud is the spiritual capital of the island. Like something out of a Rudyard Kipling novel, the town is overflowing with Hindu temples - thousands in fact.
Don't miss the lotus pond-ensconced Pura Saraswati temple, which is next door to a Starbucks, or the Gunung Kawi archaeological park half an hour out of town. And while it's a no-brainer destination for Hindu weddings, this moss-covered fairytale of a place is also a popular destination for Christian weddings.
The best place to have a meal is Murni's Warung. A four-story open-air eatery and bar overlooking a jungle-clad bend of the Campuan River, it was the first restaurant to open in Ubud, way back in 1974.
A few blocks away is Murni's Houses, a traditional Balinese compound with four temple-like houses and an award-winning day spa set in a pixie's garden.
"Why get married in Ubud? For starters it's more traditional and authentically Balinese," says owner Murni who, like many Indonesians, goes by one name only.
"And it's cooler than the coast, which can be very hot. But the main difference is the scenery - many people like the backdrop of rice terraces for the ceremony.
"I've lost count of how many weddings we've done over the years," Murni says. "I enjoyed them all, but the most memorable was the first, as I wasn't sure we could do it. I was more nervous than the bride.
"We set the place up beautifully for the wedding by the pool: lots of tropical flower arrangements, tall Balinese umbrellas, ritual offerings and an antique table for the wedding book. Then it poured down. We quickly had to change everything, and then have the ceremony in my living room.
"But it all went well. And it gave us the confidence we could do weddings well, because we could deal with the unexpected."
Ayana @ Jimbaran Bay
You know you've made it when you stroll into the Ayana Resort and Spa's voluminous lobby, where sheets of marble tumble down into swimming pools and fountain walls. Set on 30 hectares of land on a cliff overlooking Jimbaran Bay, this 290-room, 78-villa property is more than luxury - it's over the top.
Ayana's Thermes Marins Spa, home to the world's largest aquatronic therapy pool, has won a range of industry awards. Its cliff-top watering hole, the aptly named Rock Bar, is recognised as one of the best venues in the world for a sunset drink, and its restaurants are world-class. The Italian eatery Sami Sami dishes out wood-fired pizzas and spinach ravioli. Dava, a French-Asian eatery run by celebrated Singaporean chef Jusman So, does a mushroom cappuccino that defies description. There's a fitness centre, tennis court, golf putting course, a perfumery where you can make your own scent, cooking classes, a children's club and a private beach.
"Our point of distinction is the choice we offer in terms of venues," spokeswoman Marian Carroll says. "We have six - two glass chapels with ocean views and four garden venues, one that's got a canopy of 2000 white frangipanis. And because the resort is so big, all these venues are private.
"We have 20 full-time wedding planners, an in-house bridal boutique, and even a grand ballroom for large affairs. And if your guests are up for it, the party can continue at the Rock Bar until the early hours of the morning."

IceCaps blast Bears 5-1 Posted by IceCaps on
St. John's rides four-goal third to down Hershey
ST. JOHN'S, NL – The St. John's IceCaps broke a 1-1 tie in the third period and scored four times in the frame to defeat the Hershey Bears 5-1 Friday at Mile One Centre.
Ben Chiarot, Jason Jaffray, John Albert and Austen Brassard found the back of the net in the third as the IceCaps outshot the Bears 15-4. Chiarot finished with a goal and an assist and Eddie Pasquale stopped 24-of-25 shots for his second win of the season.
David Leggio made 35 saves for Hershey while Jeff Taffe scored the Bears' lone goal.
Hershey drew first blood on their fourth power play of the first period. Taffe picked up the puck at the side of the IceCaps net and waited patiently before circling around back of the net and tucking a wraparound past a sprawled Pasquale, giving the Bears a 1-0 lead at 12:31 of the frame.
St. John's tied things up on a power play of their own early in the second period. Josh Lunden took a pass at the side of the Bears net and fired a backhand pass cross-crease to a wide-open JC Lipon, who buried his second of the season to knot things at one.
Midway through the third the IceCaps pulled ahead on Chiarot's second tally of the year. Eric O'Dell kicked the puck back to Chiarot off the faceoff, and the blueliner's shot changed direction in front and beat Leggio to make it 2-1.
Jaffray added an insurance marker minutes later after a forced turnover in the Bears zone. The captain picked off an errant pass attempt and wired a slapshot that eluded Leggio on the glove side for a 3-1 advantage.
Albert iced the game 3:16 later with his first of the season. Chiraot flipped a pass to Klingberg in the neutral zone and fed Albert on the two-on-one rush. The third-year pro made no mistake to make it 4-1 St. John's.
Austen Brassard capped off a terrific third period with his first pro goal. Brassard gathered the puck in his own end and raced down the right side, using Blair Riley as a decoy and snapping a shot off the near post and in, making it 5-1.
The IceCaps and Bears hook up again Saturday night to wrap up their two-game series at Mile One. Catch all the action with broadcaster Brian Rogers at stjohnsicecaps.com and 930AM This Is Newfoundland Labrador. Puck drop is set for 7:30 p.m. with the pregame show getting underway at 7:00.
Scratched for the IceCaps: Kris Fredheim, Zach Redmond, Jordan Hill, Ryan Schnell, Adam Lowry, and Travis Ehrhardt… St. John's went 1-for-6 on the power play and 5-for-6 on the penalty kill… The two teams combined for 62 penalty minutes and 12 power plays… The IceCaps fired 40 shots on goal for the third straight game at home… With Austen Brassard's goal tonight, all four IceCaps rookie skaters (Brassard, JC Lipon, Adam Lowry and Brenden Kichton) have now scored their first pro goals… Defencemen Ben Chiarot and Brenden Kichton were a game-high +4… Molson Canadian Three Stars: 1. Jason Jaffray, 2. Adam Pardy, 3. JC Lipon… Mary Brown's Hardest Working Player: Kyle MacKinnon.

Thursday was the first day of spring and also Random Acts of Kindness Day.
It was also the day newsrooms reported that an 88-year-old Wellington man had been found dead in his flat, and had probably been there for a year.
Nobody had noticed and nobody had cared that Michael Clarke was gone.
His fellow tenants and his landlord, the Wellington City Council, said Clarke was a reclusive man - a man with no close family who kept to himself and was extremely private.
Other tenants in the council-owned apartment block said they were put away in the flats and forgotten about, and some journalists seemed to think that was the council's fault - that they should be more proactive in looking after their tenants. That's hardly fair.
The council isn't running an institution or a managed-care facility. Surely if blame belongs anywhere, it's with Clarke's neighbours. I find it incredible that no one thought it strange that there was no noise from his flat, or that letters and junk mail were building up in his letterbox, or that he hadn't been sighted for months.
Some people choose to withdraw from society. There may have been family feuds or disappointments. There are some who don't want the pressures and obligations that come with relationships and would rather be alone. They guard their privacy fiercely and do not take kindly to visitors.
And that's their right. But surely there can be a happy medium?
It seems incredible that a man who spent 88 years walking in this world, who'd lived a life and had stories to tell, could be invisible.
Perhaps, as a random act of kindness, we could check on those crotchety neighbours or elderly friends, risking their wrath at this intrusion.
Choosing to live alone is one thing. Being left to rot without a single solitary soul to note your passing is quite another.

Asia stocks dip as banks are under pressure
On Friday, Asian stock extended their losses right to three-week lows and the yen surged to a 17-month high against the greenback. It's because market participants bet Japan is going to be hard pressed to drag down its national currency amid widespread foreign opposition.
The broadest index of Asia-Pacific stocks outside Japan, MSCI edged down 0.5%, thus heading for a weekly dip of 1.8%.
Meanwhile, Japanese Nikkei pared its earlier losses to almost two-month lows, trading 0.6% lower and financials under great pressure. Currently, it's on track for its weekly 3.1% descend.
Chinese Shanghai Composite Index fell 0.9%. By the way, it demonstrated the same decline last week. Additionally, the CSI 300 was deprived of 0.8%, setting for a 1.2% weekly sag. Apart from that, the Hang Seng index lost 0.7%, heading for a 1.9% weekly loss.
As for the European Union, in this region bank stocks definitely led in losses, following rumors of more cutbacks and layoffs planned by the EU's key lenders, as they struggle with zero rates.

On Saturday, Feb. 26, Lincoln Brewster, guitarist and acclaimed worship leader, will present a worship-music workshop from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Lincoln Brewster was born and raised in Alaska. Coming from a home with an abusive stepfather, it was Lincoln's mother who instilled a love for music in Lincoln. By the age of 19, Lincoln had mastered the guitar and landed a performance with Steve Perry, former lead singer of the band Journey. Soon after earning a mainstream record, Lincoln gave his life to Christ, walking away from the promise of rock stardom to take a job at his local church. Since then, he has signed with praise and worship label Integrity Music, performing and crafting songs which include "God You Reign," "Salvation is Here" and "The Power of Your Name." Lincoln's new album, "Real Life," captures transparency—the celebrations and heartaches—in lives of Christian believers.
Brewster and his band will present four sessions: guitar clinic, songwriting, creating a flow in worship and an instrumental clinic. He will present at Cedarville University in the Dixon Ministry Center Recital Hall.
Located in southwest Ohio, Cedarville University attracts 3,200 undergraduate, graduate, and online students to more than 100 areas of study.

New virus uses protein handle to infect cells
Deadly coronavirus related to SARS attaches to molecule common to people, many animals
By Tina Hesman Saey, 13:23 PM March 13, 2013
A new coronavirus that has sickened 14 people, killing eight of them, can slip into cells in many types of animals, a new study shows.
The new coronavirus latches onto a protein called dipeptidyl peptidase 4, or DPP4, which decorates the surface of many cells, including some in human airways and kidneys, Bart Haagmans of Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and colleagues report in the March 14 Nature. Though the virus is related to the SARS coronavirus, DPP4 is different from...

Hello there,
Juduging by the fact you are quoting Mosmira Irigian in your report, who is a back of house person in the business who NEVER deals with clients or ever speaks to them, plus as well our clients do not ever have contact with our design team, I am going to make an assumption that you are one of the employee's we have recently hired and has been fired for poor design skills and performance.
It is no secret that in our company we have offshore staff so I am not sure what you are trying to reveal here. We fully disclose to our customers our operational requirements and thus along with that our clients get an excpetional rate on the cost of the development.
Secondly to that, we do not EVER use templates, so if you would kindly be able to quote the website we have built for us all to see here, then we can make the decision for ourselves.
If this is indeed a customer, then please accept my humble apologies and feel free to make direct contact with us to have this matter resolved immediately. I do not like the prospect of an unhappy customer and we will bend over backwards to make sure that all of our customers recieve the exact product they are after.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
Advertisers above have met our
strict standards for business conduct.

Syracuse Medical Examiner Agrees to Quit After Inquiry
Published: November 20, 1993
SYRACUSE, Nov. 19— The Onondaga County Medical Examiner, Dr. Erik Mitchell, agreed to resign today after a prosecutor's investigation concluded that he had overstepped his authority and mismanaged his office.
Among other things, prosecutors found that Dr. Mitchell routinely removed organs from corpses without the consent of the victims' families and improperly stored skeletons and body parts in his office.
Dr. Mitchell, 42, resigned as chief Medical Examiner effective immediately and will leave the Medical Examiner's office effective Jan. 15, 1994, said his lawyer, Sidney Cominsky. County Executive Nicholas Pirro said he was ready to dismiss Dr. Mitchell if he did not resign.
Dr. Mitchell is admitting no wrongdoing, Mr. Cominsky said. "He is admitting only that it is impossible for him to run the office in the present climate," the lawyer said.
Dr. Mitchell has been the county Medical Examiner for 10 years. Over the last year, he has come under intense criticism because of accusations by current and former employees that he engaged in unethical, unprofessional and illegal activities.
District Attorney William Fitzpatrick announced today that a four-month investigation by his office corroborated many of the allegations.
But rather than pursue criminal charges against Dr. Mitchell, Mr. Fitzpatrick said he recommended to Mr. Pirro that Dr. Mitchell resign. In return, Mr. Fitzpatrick agreed to close his investigation.
The District Attorney said Dr. Mitchell's conduct violated public health statutes but that vagueness of those laws made prosecution difficult. A number of the incidents could not be prosecuted because the statute of limitations had expired, he said.
"I don't want to create the impression that Dr. Mitchell is guilty of a crime. I am not saying that," Mr. Fitzpatrick said. "That is only for a jury to decide."
Mr. Fitzpatrick said the outcome was a fair one, noting that Dr. Mitchell cooperated with his investigation.
"I have never known the man to be motivated by any thought save that of the safety and health of the people, but he went too far," Mr. Fitzpatrick said. "An autopsy patient is not the personal property of the doctor." Other Investigations Continue
Dr. Mitchell remains under investigation by the state Department of Environmental Conservation, the Health Department and the Office of Professional Medical Conduct.
Dr. Mitchell was not available for comment today. Mr. Cominsky said Dr. Mitchell was "the victim of a tremendous amount of accusation and slander." Dr. Mitchell has a $3 million slander lawsuit pending against one of his accusers.
The District Attorney began investigating Dr. Mitchell when it was revealed that a man convicted of child pornography had photographs taken of himself with a corpse in the Medical Examiner's office.
Mr. Fitzpatrick said not only was the man not authorized to be in the morgue, but that he helped a former morgue employee, Joseph Contrera, stitch up the corpse after an autopsy. Mr. Contrera is serving a prison term for molesting young boys.
The District Attorney also found that morgue employees took photographs of one another in playful poses over the body of a female suicide victim and that they provided the pathology department at University Hospital in Syracuse with bladders and kidneys from about 150 bodies, often without family consent.
At a separate news conference today, Mr. Pirro announced the termination of Dr. Mitchell's two chief assistants to try to restore public confidence in the Medical Examiner's office. The Cayuga County Coroner, Dr. Janice Ross, was appointed interim Medical Examiner.

Date of Stay: September, 2009
Very nice park to make your headquarters while you explore Yellowstone! Easy to find, nice wide paved streets and the pull through site was wide. The grass was well maintained. Within walking distance to West Yellowstone. Very nice camp store. If your rig is in need of washing, they will connect you with a couple of individuals who will come in to the park and take care of that for you or you are welcome to do it yourself. Customer service was outstanding. Some issues with their Nomad WI-FI but the office tried to help with that. Highly recommend this park.
Date of Stay: September, 2009
Very difficult to find, especially if you arrive in early to late evening. Check in area was blocked by miscellaneous cars parked in the designated parking making it difficult to maneuver. Staff was very helpful when we called after missing the turn, directed us back to the correct turn and gave us a free night of WI-FI. Nice blacktop, pull-through site with shade tree but pretty tight and close proximity to neighbors. It was obvious that there were many long term renters, mostly construction workers. Overall, a nice park, if you can find it, for a short term stop.
