REDDITCH recorded their second win in a row in the West Midlands Division One as they out-gunned Kingswinford 5-3 on Saturday.
Top-scorer Steve Cooke bagged a hat-trick, while Andy Robinson and Richard Sellers also scored in a thrilling encounter.
The Kingfishers were in control of the game but their Black Country rivals did give them a fright.
On two occasions, Kingswinford pulled back within one goal before Redditch finally killed them off.
Robinson had opened the scoring with a penalty flick, before Cooke doubled their lead.
But the away side pulled one back just before half-time, with Lubby Ram on target after good work by Billy Jawanda.
But Cooke bagged his second goal after the break with a penalty flick.
Once again Kingswinford hit back and captain Surjit Takhar hammered home a second goal.
Redditch thought they had made the game safe with a fourth goal but once again the away side hit back.
Raggi Singh then set up Takhar, whose cross allowed Gurmail Chana to tap home.
But the hosts finally made sure of the points with an eighth goal in a thrilling game.
Victory means Redditch are up to fourth in the table.
So far this season they have won six matches, drawn twice and lost five times.
They go to mid-table rivals Stafford, who are one place below and a single point behind, on Saturday.
Last weekend, Redditch had bounced back from defeat to Bloxwich to see off Old Wulfrunians 4-3. They were always ahead after forcing an own goal, before Lee Beedon (2) and Cooke scored to win the day.
Cooke is Redditch's top-scorer with 11 goals.

For information about using buses as inputs to, or outputs from, a referenced model, see Bus Data Crossing Model Reference Boundaries.
To have a root-level Inport block in a model that does not specify a bus object produce a bus signal, in the Inport block:
Set the Data type parameter to
<object name>
<object name> with
the name of the bus object name that defines the bus that the Inport produces.
For more information, see Import Bus Data to Top-Level Input Ports.
A root level Outport of a model can accept a virtual bus only if all elements of the bus have the same data type. The Outport block automatically unifies the bus to a vector having the same number of elements as the bus, and outputs that vector.
To have a root-level Outport of a model accept a bus signal that contains mixed data types, use the Block Parameters dialog box of the Outport block.
Set Data type to
<object name>.
<object name> with
the name of the bus object name that defines the bus that the Outport produces.
If the bus signal in a top-level model in a model reference hierarchy is virtual, the signal is converted to nonvirtual (see Bus Conversion).
By default, an Inport block is a virtual block and accepts a bus as input. However, an Inport block is nonvirtual if:
The Inport block is in an atomic subsystem.
The signal or any of its elements (if the signal is a bus) are directly connected to the output of the subsystem.
The Inport block can accept a bus when either of these conditions is true:
All elements of the bus can be converted to a vector (for example, all the elements must have the same data type).
The bus is a nonvirtual bus.
If the bus elements have different data types, attempting to simulate the model halts the simulation and produces an error message. To avoid this problem without changing the semantics of your model, insert a Signal Conversion block between the Inport block and the Outport block to which it was originally connected.
For example, the following model, which includes an atomic subsystem, does not simulate.
Starting the simulation generates the following error messages:
In the subsystem, the Inport block labeled
nonvirtual is
nonvirtual because it resides in an atomic subsystem and one of its
bus elements (labeled
a) is directly connected
to one of the subsystem outputs. Further, the bus (
connected to the subsystem inputs has elements of differing data types.
As a result, you cannot simulate this model.
To break the direct connection to the subsystem output, insert
a Signal Conversion block. Set the Signal Conversion block Output parameter
Signal copy. Inserting the Signal
Conversion block enables you to simulate the model.
For information about using buses as inputs to, or outputs from, a referenced model, see Bus Data Crossing Model Reference Boundaries.

Bill, Open KSCD, go to Extra -> Configure KsCD. Under CD-ROM Device, you need to check "use direct digital playback". That was enabled by default in the old kaffeine / KDE3 stuff, which made it work without the small audio cable.

The Christless heart is like the troubled sea that cannot rest.
Yet fire is the portion to which the Christless and unbelieving will come.
It is the mission of the Sunday-school to gather in these destitute ones, from the street, and from their Christless homes.
The only prayers which Masonry does authorize, and can consistently authorize, are Christless--infidel prayers and services.
Surely, not to the high places of this Godless, Christless world.
I sought for comfort in a Godless and Christless philosophy, but sought in vain.

At the time Poiret was working on Pan, his reputation as a women's fashion designer was on the decline and by 1929, he was forced to declare bankruptcy. For this 1928 volume, he compiled more than 100 examples of advertisements for luxury goods designed by his friends, including Yan B. Dyl, Edy Legrand (1892-1970), Charles Martin (1848-1934), Tsugouharu Foujita (1886-1968), and others. Products are from a wide range of firms such as Van Cleef & Arpels, Judith Barbier, Mitsubishi, Maigret, Hermes, Lanvin, Callot Soeurs, Maxims, and the Moulin Rouge.

Given that we're speaking about things in the region of French Advertising Design - Graphic Arts, The good news is that you can look at other sites a web design company has created (like looking at other homes that a home builder has made). Make sure you ask the web design company what their process is for designing a web site vs. building a web site.

As a former employee myself, I'm glad to see Wal Mart Employees are finally protesting nationwide in numbers big enough to make the news and give the corporate giant troubles.
See these articles for details:
Hallandale Walmart workers join protest
Walmart Workers Threaten Black Friday Walkout
I am presently watching Current TV's replay of their "Wal Mart: The High Cost of Low Price."
All this has inspired me to share my own story (named changed to protect the innocent):
"Portrait of an Abusive Boss - or - Why I Quit Wal-Mart"
In April 2007, at approximately 6:10 AM, Assistant Manager Alpha called for all Associates then working in the Grocery Dept. to meet him at the tortilla-and-taco rack, next to Aisle 10. Support Manager Beta, and Mom, Ketone, Lipid, Alemeda, and I all responded. Assistant Manager Alpha had placed a bakery item on the floor. There was a ladder leaning against the taco-and-tortilla rack. Alpha then began to harangue us about safety issues.
He asked if we had children. He pointed to the bakery item on the floor. When we looked at it, he slapped the ladder violently, causing it to slam into the floor. IF I HAD NOT JUMPED OUT OF THE WAY, THE LADDER WOULD HAVE HIT ME.
"That," he said, "could have been an accident. If it had hit a child, or if it had hit YOU (pointing at me), it would have gone on my record..." Assistant Manager Alpha then harangued us about leaving ladders out, about how he is tired of going around the store picking up ladders that have been left out, and about how an accident would affect his bonus, "after I've worked my butt off," he said.
All during this, he stared directly into my eyes, as if blaming me for leaving out the ladder (I didn't -- in fact, earlier I'd put that same ladder away three times myself). I am not the only one who noticed this, because the witnessing Associates commented to me about it after the incident.
The next day, I asked Support Manager Beta about filing a complaint. She said that I should calm down and forget it, "because the ladder didn't hit me".
She also implied that no one, including her, was going to witness to it against Alpha for fear of their own jobs. Unfortunately, this is true.
I ended up having to quit a few months later due to physical problems because of the stressful work environment.
Update: I now have a little more sympathy for Alpha. Three years ago, Wal Mart's employee health insurance refused to treat him for an on-the-job knee injury. You see, he'd hurt it once in high school 30 years earlier, so they called it a "pre-existing condition."

Conditional Cash Transfer Program
The conditional cash transfer program is a government program that aims to alleviate poverty. In the Philippines, the CCT is known locally as Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps). The program was formally launched by former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in November 2008, several months after the government started to implement it in January 2008.
The 4Ps seeks to provide "conditional cash grants to extremely poor households to improve their health, nutrition and education particularly of children aged 0-14." In 2010, President Benigno Aquino III opted to continue the program despite criticisms raised by some members of the Philippine Congress. Currently, around three million households are enrolled in the program. The government hopes to aid nearly five million families living below the poverty line by 2014.
The Aquino administration plans to increase the budget for the program from P34 billion this year to around P45 billion in 2013. In 2011, the program has a P21.9 billion budget, almost double than the P12 billion allotted in 2010.
In a effort to combat poverty in the Philippines, Arroyo launched the project in 2008. It was originally known as the National Sector Support for Social Welfare Development Program (NSS-SWDP), a project conceptualized in 2006.
The 4Ps became the flagship project of the Arroyo administration in poverty reduction and social development by providing cash grants to the poorest of the poor families. The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) was assigned to implement the program.
Selection process
The DSWD, through the National Household Targeting System for Poverty Reduction assess the households in the selected municipalities. They are assisted by the Local Government Units (LGUs) by conducting community assemblies. In order to qualify as a beneficiary of 4P, beneficiaries should meet the following requirements:
- residents of the poorest municipalities
- households whose economic conditions are below the provincial poverty threshold
- households that have children 0 to 14 years old and/or have a pregnant woman at the time of assessment
- households agree to meet the conditions of the program such as:
- children 3-5 years old must attend Day Care/pre-school at least 85 percent of the time
- children 6-14 years old must attend school at least 85 percent of the time,
- children 0-5 years old must get regular health check-up and vaccinations
- parents must attend responsible parenthood sessions/mother's classes/parent effectiveness seminars and
- pregnant women must get pre-and post-natal care and be attended to during childbirth by a skilled/trained birth attendant.
Legislators and local government officials are disqualified from the program.
A household beneficiary receives P6,000 every year or P500 every month as health and nutrition expenses and an additional P3,000 for 10 months or P300 per month for education expenses of one child. The program limits a household to a maximum of three children. In all, a household with three qualified children receives as much as P1,400 a month. The cash grants are continuous for five years as long as the household complies with the requirements.
Other benefits
The 4P does not only provide cash grants to the beneficiaries. The DSWD also implements livelihood and socio-economic programs such as:
- Self-Employment Assistance-Kaunlaran (SEA-K)
- Tindahan Natin
- Food for the School Program
- Healthy Start Supplemental Feeding Program
Since its implementation, the 4Ps had received mixed reviews. Some are calling the program as a dole out for the poor families. The DSWD explains that the program is a development program that invests in human capital and the beneficiaries must still meet the requirements before they receive the cash grants. By following the criteria, the program enhances the role of the parents by helping them fulfil their duties and responsibilities towards their children.
In 2010, Tarcisio Castaneda, an expert on social protection and international adviser on poverty cited that although its short term objective is poverty reduction through social assistance, in the long run, the program helps eradicate poverty by building the capacity of the children of poor families to complete their education and improve their health condition. Both of which are considered as investments in human capital.
A study by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in 2009 noted that there will be an increase in school attendance of the children from the household-beneficiaries from 84.9 percent to 92 percent versus an unconditional cash transfer could only increase the attendance to 85.56 percent. Therefore, the conditionality is imperative in the program.
The program has had received its share of criticisms. The Katipunan ng Damayang Mahihirap (KADAMAY) calls the program as deceitful citing that the government as to borrow USD400 million to fund the program thereby burdening the country with more debts to pay in the long run. Additionally, since it only benefits one million household currently, the impact of 4Ps is minimal and would not make a dent in poverty.

In a surprising move, President Aquino opted to not only continue the 4Ps, but even enhanced it months after he was elected. This was widely lauded by former President Arroyo but was criticized by his allies in the House of Representatives.
In October 2010, 37 lawmakers, many of them Aquino's allies, signed a manifesto expressing the opposition of the P21.9 billion for the Conditional Cash Transfer Program. Instead, they would work or the realignment of funds intended for the CCT to the construction of schools hospitals, health centers, housing programs, agriculture and others that directly address the needs of the poor for jobs, livelihood and services.
Aquino defends the program by likening it to a lifesaver thrown to save a drowning man. He reiterated that it is not the solution to the problem but just meant to ease the suffering. Aquino is targeting 2.3 million households by the end of 2011, which represents one-eight of the total households in the Philippines.

Forget your space opera, peck - Willow headed to Blu-ray03 Jan, 2013, 02:00 | Posted by: Jason | Source: High-Def Digest
One of the great things about being a natural contrarian is that I get all the Willow coverage to myself.
On March 12th, Lucasfilm and 20th Century Fox join forces to bring you "Willow: 25th Anniversary Edition" on Blu-ray. You probably recall Ron Howard's 1988 fantasy film as the thoroughly okay attempt by George Lucas to hatch a new franchise, this one more Tolkien than Flash Gordon. The grander plans fell through when the box office returns weren't good for much more than covering costs, but the movie remains a cult favorite, and is arguably a property Lucasfilm should have continued with a sequel anyway (a possibility which the great Warwick Davis to this day heartbreakingly refuses to rule out).
Here's the thing about Willow: it's got a whole bunch of intriguing deleted scenes that fans have only been able to experience via script pages and novelizations, and it looks like this release will finally bring some of them to light. Based on the trailer above, we'll get to see the fabled scene where Willow gets attacked by an animatronic shark-boy in a storm (its omission leaving Willow inexplicably wet at one point in the final cut) and more material depicting the frozen citizens of the kingdom of Tir Asleen. You probably don't know what the hell I'm talking about because I'm talking about Willow, so let's re-frame this news in a way that everyone can appreciate: skull-masked Pat Roach in high definition.
What does everyone else think about this?Reply in this discussion | Not registered?
I probably would have ponied up a purchase for this one, even if the transfer wasn't gorgeous... BUT SINCE IT IS...

Rand Paul Story AP Supposedly 'Killed' Is Still Out There -- At an AP.org Address
Sunday afternoon, the Associated Press issued a supposedly comprehensive "kill" order to all subscribers relating to an erroneous story claiming that Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) told Fox News Sunday's that "he sees voters wanting, quote, 'somebody who wants to round people up, put in camps and send them back to Mexico.'" I'm questioning whether the AP is really interested in making sure the story disappears.
As Noel Sheppard at NewsBusters noted early Sunday evening, several news outlets were still carrying the story over four hours later. As of this morning at 8 a.m., I found the story still present at Salon.com, Philly.com, US News, and Yahoo.com. Oh, and at one other location, seen after the jump.
The Dallas Morning News still had the story as of 8:45 a.m. ET -- and it was an incoming feed from the AP's hosted2.ap.org web site:
Over 18 hours later, and 15 hours after Fox News fixed the rush transcript upon which it erroneously relied, the self-described "essential global news network" somehow hasn't been able to kill a bogus story at one of its own web sites. How many other subscriber sites are still carrying the story fed in from hosted2.ap.org?
I struggle to come up with a reason why the Associated Press, aka the Administration's Press, is entitled to any benefit of the doubt relating to any excuse it might offer.

Thanks Cheri,
When I created the search Events -->Death, Date --> >1908, Place
-->North Carolina, United States, I got a whole bunch of strange
results like folks who died in Missouri (1 died in Brazil but still
make the list) and many folks who have no death place recorded. I
don't know what the search hierarchy is but it looks like it ignored
the Place.
Second question - is there a function for subtracting one list from
another (removing duplicate folks) or is a manual comparison and
removal. I couldn't find this in Help.

Modelling the Growth in Gas Reseves From Known Fields
The extent to which future United States demand for natural gas is satisfied by imports of LNG is contingent on the adequacy and cost competitiveness of North American supplies. One of the cheaper and more important sources of natural gas supply is accounted for by reserve appreciation, i.e., reserve growth, in known fields. Based on an extensively applied methodology developed by Arrington (1960), the increase in proved ultimate recovery is presumed to increase at a diminishing rate with the age of the field. In this paper, a single equation model of natural gas reserve growth in the Gulf of Mexico is developed and estimated. The results strongly suggest that the annual growth rate in the reserves of a field is significantly affected by initial discovery size, price, water depth, and unobserved field-specific effects. Hence, estimating oil and gas reserve growth using an Arrington based approach may underestimate the response of reserve growth to changes in economic fundamentals.

TALENTED New Forest teenager Ingrid Jiang is one of a select few chosen for a prestigious summer school at Cambridge University.
The Arnewood School sixth former will be testing her brain power in the university's Physics Challenge Summer School.
Ingrid, 17, was selected from a record number of applicants who took part in the university's Senior Physics Challenge.
During the challenge she had to undergo a gruelling selection process based on a demanding series of mathematics and physics questions.
Ingrid is no stranger to Oxbridge, having taken part in a maths course at Oxford university last year.
She said: "I am very excited about spending part of the summer in Cambridge – I really enjoyed my time at Balliol College last year working on my mathematics.
"At this stage I still haven't decided to specialise in science or maths when I go to university as I love both subjects equally – so it will be interesting to compare both my experiences at Oxford and Cambridge."
Based at the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge, Ingrid will take part in five days of physics and research lectures, practical laboratory classes and challenges.
She will be accommodated as a guest of a Cambridge college and will receive intensive tuition to develop problem-solving and experimental skills.
The aim of the summer school is to introduce talented students to the study of quantum physics and to help them to understand what it is like to live and study at Cambridge.
Ingrid's science teacher Dr Heidi Shaw, said: "Ingrid is an all-rounder with a fascination for chemistry, physics, biology and higher mathematics as well as being a very accomplished artist.
"We are not at all surprised she has been selected for the Cambridge summer school despite the strong competition nationally. She is very bright and intuitively creative – look out for Ingrid's name in the future."
Ingrid is currently studying A-levels in physics, mathematics, further mathematics, chemistry and biology at The Arnewood School, New Milton.

Random Distantly Related Celebs (PHOTOS)
Each celebrity has their own unique quality, but knowing that some of them have distant cousins in the Hollywood family that we didn't know about makes things even better!
With all the hype around the Royal couple coming to Los Angeles, in addition to reports that Kate Middleton is distant cousins with author Jane Austen, it was only fair we take a close look behind their royal family background. Prince William, The Duke of Cambridge is said to be the 12th cousin of Hollywood's very own royalty, Marilyn Monroe.
So, which other celebrities have famous relatives?
What do Ellen Degeneres and Madonna have in common, besides ravishing good looks? A family tree! According to reports, Degeneres and Madonna are related through their 10th great-grandfather making them 11th cousins. After finding out about their family relations, it's no wonder that they both know how to break it down on the dance floor.
Celebrities are not the only ones who seem to be related to other celebrities. Lets throw some politicians into the game. President Barack Obama and Brad Pitt are said to be 9th cousins, but it doesn't stop there. Hillary Clinton and Angelina Jolie are 9th cousins twice removed. If these family ties decided to have Thanksgiving dinner together, they will need to have a larger dinner table.
The accuracy of these might not be 100% but isn't still fun to think about! You may very well be related to one of your favorite celebrities and don't even know it. Take a look through your family tree and let us know which Hollywood star you may be related to!

Hi Jeff
Firstly the HMS VICTORY was then the RN Barracks at Portsmouth, now
known as HMS NELSON. I believe that VICTORY (Ship) was only used for
Admin purposes at this time.
HMS COLLINGWOOD - was launched at Devonport in 1908 ; displaced
19,250 tons, was 500 feet long, and capable of 21 knots. Her
complement was 769 officers and men. She carried thirty guns, with the
main armament of 10 twelve-inch in five turrets. Sold December 1922 -
for what is stated about her per Janes Fighting Ships for 1919 see:
I have the following brief notes for her
Aug 1914 First Battle Squadron, Home Fleet
1916 Jutland
1919 Gunnery Training Ships - Turret Drill
HMS ROXBURGH was a cruiser 10,850 ton cruiser of the Devonshire Class,
which was completed in 1913 l armament 4 x 7.5" ; 6 x 6" ; 20 x 3 pdr
notes: for Janes description see:
12 Feb 1913 Completed to full crew at Devonport,
Aug 1914 Third Cruiser Squadron, Home Fleet
1919 For Sale.

Increasingly, we read about senior executives receiving "performance rights" as part of their remuneration (eg ANZ's Mike Smith). This always makes me chuckle. In 1997, as a tax lawyer (later partner) with Mallesons, I helped coin the PR expression while devising the remuneration package for then incoming BHP CEO Paul Anderson. Essentially, it is jargon which tends to muddy the waters. A performance right is the receipt of a free share in the future if certain conditions are met. It is very valuable, especially when the share price is $22-plus. I wonder why the expression caught on – well, not really.

Dog Survives Being Thrown Off BQE
A dog was thrown off the BQE in Brooklyn last night, but a quick response from a group of good Samaritans means it has a good shot at survival.
Jon Ernsberger said he was driving along Meeker Avenue in Greenpoint around 6:25 p.m. when he saw a dog sail over the guard rail about 30 feet in front of his car, "head over heels over the top," he said.
"For the first split second I didn't know what it was," he said. "At first I thought it could be a human, and that was really alarming." He was stunned to realize it was a dog, and, upon pulling over, more stunned to realize it was still alive. "It's unbelievable—it's like, 30 feet high," he said. "I really thought it would be dead, but it was crying out and trying to stand."
A gaggle of other witnesses quickly came to aid the ailing dog—a male pitbull weighing around 50 pounds—gently moving him from the street and rushing to make him comfortable with water and blankets.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Best of the Best Previously bought a 50inch ... tv so good went back for the 54. No complaints...excellent tv in all regards..2d or 3d. Get one... you won't be disappointed.
Date published: 2011-01-31
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Best TV of 2010 I just purchased my VT25 from Magnolia. This is hands down the best overall TV I have ever owned. And I have owned a lot of TVs, including the Pioneer Elite Kuro PRO-111FD. If the Elite is an "A+" on 2D PQ, then the VT25 is an "A." Here's what the TV does well...everything but sound and up-conversion of a 480i signal. The sound is fine but relatively weak. And the image up-converter in the TV is just average. Get a good receiver and both of these points are moot, because you simply avoid the TVs short comings and allow the receiver to do that work for you. I recommend the Pioneer Elite VSX-33. Awesome bang for your buck at about $700. Now about the 3D. No it's not a gimmick, but it isn't the second coming either. At the price the VT25s are selling for now with a 3D blu-ray player and the 3D starter kit, you'd be crazy not to get one of these as 3D becomes more and more relevant. The 3D picture on the VT25 is best in market...period! No comparison. The LED 3D TVs have tons of cross talk and only a 720p picture. Which basically means they are washed out and fuzzy...and they are. Simply do a comparison in store and you will see for yourself. Yes, it is that obvious. As with all Plasmas...be careful of image retention especially during the first 100 hours of use. As the TV ages it becomes less and less of a concern. I have owned three Plasmas to date, and I have never had a burn in issue. If you aren't careful, it is possible. I am sure the TV war is going to get really interesting in the next few years, but if you are buying now, this is the one to get.

Local weather feature is nice as well. The menues are easy to use and set up is was easy as well. Was a bit hesitant because you can get bigger TVs for the price, but not better quality for the price. Well worth the money.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Best picture quality I have ever personally seen. Picked up a 54vt25 after much research and viewing at stores. Amazing picture quality after minor tweaking in THX mode. Great blacks. Watching movies in a dark room is spectacular! Have not watched much 3D, but the 3D that I have watched is very good. My two problems with this TV has been Image retention, and a slight buzz with screens that have a lot of white. I waited around 150 hrs before playing PS3 after break in slides and full screen TV, and the IR sensitivity is still bad. It takes several loops of the scrolling bars to lessen the images retained on the screen. I'm hoping the IR sensitivity improves greatly in the future, or else video gaming will be tough.

The Boston Red Sox Game was like being in Fenway Park, but better, because close up shots of the players and plays were awesome. I predict that the LCD's, LEDs are going to be facing some real competition now. Well done!!

What should I do if my TV will not turn on and the power indicator LED is not flashing?Follow these troubleshooting steps:
- Make sure your TV's power cord is plugged into an electrical outlet.
- Make sure the electrical outlet the TV is plugged into has power by testing known working device in that outlet.
- After verifying the TV is plugged into a working outlet, try pressing the [POWER] button on the TV instead of the TV remote.
What should I do if the front Power indicator LED light is blinking?1. Unplug the TV's power cord.
2. Unplug all cables.
3. Power the TV using a different power outlet (do not use a power strip or surge protector).
If the problem persists, please consider having the TV serviced. Click here for Panasonic Service Locator.
Note: Count how many times the LED light blinks. This can help a technician troubleshoot the problem.
What should I do if I can access all of the TV apps except Netflix?1. Change the DNS setting of your TV to 188.8.131.52.
2. If you are able to access the Netflix splash screen, use the TV remote to deactivate your account by pressing Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Up, Up, Up, Up. After this process, try loggin back into the Netflix TV app.
If the procedure is successful a screen will come up with the option to deactivate your device from your account. If not try the process again. Once you have successfully deactivated your device, you will need to activate it by opening Netflix and at the main screen selecting Member Sign In, then following the on screen prompts until activation is complete.
If the Netflix app still fails to open, but all of the other TV apps work, visit help.netflix.com for more support.
What should I do if I have bars displaying on the TV screen?Change the format (aspect ratio) of the picture by pressing the [FORMAT] or [ASPECT] button on the TV's remote control. If you still have bars, check the aspect settings on your external video source, such as Cable/Satellite box, DVD/Blu-ray Disc player, etc. Note: Some content, such as film-based movies, are available in extra-wide format. Top and bottom bars are unavoidable.

Credit card theft is on the rise, according to the latest crime estimates. Last year, about 8.6 million U.S. households, or 7 percent, experienced some form of identity theft, up from the 6.4 million that fell victim to identify thieves in 2005, according to Bureau of Justice Statistics estimates.
The total financial losses for those households totaled $13.3 billion. In most cases, identity thieves obtained victims' existing credit card information, the bureau reported. The data includes both attempted and successful use of the stolen information. Although the number of identify theft cases increased, the study found that fewer households suffered a monetary loss in 2010. The estimates indicate that nearly a quarter of victims avoided a financial loss.
Bureau of Justice Statistics, "Identity Theft Reported by Households, 2005-2010"
The estimates are derived from the National Crime Victimization Survey conducted annually by the U.S. Census Bureau for the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Each year, the data is obtained from a sample of 76,000 households comprising nearly 135,300 people who mirror the demographic makeup of the country as a whole. From these responses, the Bureau of Justice Statistics can estimate the likelihood of victimization by identity theft or other crimes for the population as a whole, according to the bureau.
The Bureau of Justice Statistics defines identity theft as the unauthorized use or attempted misuse of an existing credit card or other account, the unauthorized use of personal information to open a new account or for other fraudulent purposes, or a combination of those.
On its website, the U.S. Justice Department describes a few of the ways in which criminals get access to personal information. They include digging through trash for documents with account and contact information, as well as taking advantage of transactions made by consumers in public places – for example, punching in a credit card number on a phone or laptop or providing it in a conversation with a hotel or rental car company.

But that's where the similarities end. Where Stolen Memory felt like a tight, fast, well-paced attempt to tell a character's story, Mark of the Assassin is a much more sprawling exercise. Unfortunately, that's generally to its detriment.
We've already covered the premise of Mark of the Assassin, but the short version goes like this: Tallis, a mysterious elven rogue, asks Hawke to attend a wyvern hunt thrown by an Orlesian noble in order to steal back a valuable artifact. Things unfurl from there.
The story and characters of Mark of the Assassin are where the fun is. Tallis is voiced by some person named Felicia Day – maybe you've heard of her. Even if you haven't, she brings a lot of charm to Dragon Age 2, and an awful lot of humor as well. Mark of the Assassin is downright goofy at times, and more subtly referential of pop culture than the main game and the original Dragon Age were with regards to their stories. As an example, there's a strong Holy Grail sensibility to the Orlesians that's hard to ignore.
Whether this is a pro or a con is largely dependent on what you really want from Dragon Age. I enjoyed the levity, given how heavy so much of Dragon Age 2's main story was (and the pretty major downer that Dragon Age 2's previous DLC, Legacy, beat you over the head with). You may not enjoy that. If spending six or seven hours with a very modern, quippish companion amidst exaggerated impressions of the French doesn't sound like a good time, then there might be a problem.
That problem being Dragon Age 2. Personality is Mark of the Assassin's main selling point, because from a game design perspective, it's practically a case study of everything that went wrong with Dragon Age 2. Battles often devolve into survival scenarios with your party ridiculously outnumbered by enemies that are bafflingly adept at murdering you and your companions in short order. Much like Legacy before it, Mark of the Assassin is clearly geared towards players who have finished the main game, so if you intend to jump into it earlier than that, you might be bumping the difficulty down to casual if you want to make it out alive.
Otherwise, Mark of the Assassin is plagued by Dragon Age standbys like the tile puzzle and following conversational red herrings. There's a brief moment where it seems like Mark of the Assassin will do something genuinely different involving stealth gameplay, but the execution is lacking. The artist in me did appreciate the color-mixing puzzle, though I'm loathe to say more about it than that.
There's an interesting story running through Mark of the Assassin, but it's bogged down in more of the same things that grew tiring and predictable in Dragon Age 2 proper. If you're willing to grind through monotonous encounters to see a goofier, lighter Dragon Age 2 quest, then Mark of the Assassin might be worth a look. But if you've had your fill of Dragon Age 2's repetitive combat design and limited environments, this is a party you can probably skip.

Another Way The Government Surveils The American Public: Snail Mail
It's not just phone calls, emails and Google searches the U.S. government is using to surveil and monitor the American public. As a recent report from The New York Times found, they're also using regular postal mail.
Once part of a secret program known as the Mail Isolation Control and Tracking program, this surveillance technique allows law enforcement to monitor the mail of a person suspected of being involved in criminal activity.
The program's existence was reportedly revealed on June 7 of this year by the FBI in a criminal complaint related to ricin-laced letters that were intended for President Obama and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Using the information on the outside of letters and packages delivered to a home or business, law enforcement groups such as the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Agency, the Internal Revenue Service and other federal, local and state agencies can track "the correspondence of people suspected of fraud, using the mail to send drugs or terrorism."
For example, in 2007, the FBI, IRS and local police in Charlotte, N.C., used mail covers to gather evidence that Sallie Wamsley-Saxon and her husband, Donald, were running a prostitution ring. By using mail covers to track banking activity, investigators said they were able to gather enough evidence on the couple.
While the program initially began as a way for law enforcement agencies to track an individual's mail for 30 days, the program was expanded in 2001 after anthrax was sent through the mail and resulted in the deaths of five people, including two postal workers. Since the program's expansion, however, officials say information is now "indiscriminately" collected on every piece of mail.
According to The New York Times, more than 160 billion pieces of mail are subjected to this program each year. Information on the outer part of the letter, including names and addresses, is put into a database that reportedly allows the government to construct in-depth profiles of individuals, including their personal and political connections.
How long that information is stored, including the images of the mail, is not known.
The contents of the mail are not usually inspected as part of the mail cover program, since opening mail would require a warrant. However, in 2007, President George W. Bush signed a statement that allowed the federal government to open mail without first obtaining a warrant in cases involving an emergency or foreign intelligence.
James Wedick, a former FBI agent, said that the mail cover program is "a treasure trove of information" and that just by looking at the outside of a person's mail, "I can see who you bank with, who you communicate with — all kinds of useful information that gives investigators leads that they can then follow up on with a subpoena."
Wedick said he used mail covers in a number of investigations during his career.
Mark Rasch has worked on several fraud cases using mail covers and started a computer crimes unit in the fraud section of the criminal division of the Justice Department. He told The New York Times that mail covers used to be used only when there was probable cause someone had committed a crime.
"Now it seems to be, 'Let's record everyone's mail so in the future we might go back and see who you were communicating with.' Essentially you've added mail covers on millions of Americans," he said.
"It can easily abused," said Wedick, "because it's so easy to use, and you don't have to go through a judge to get the information. You just fill out a form."
News of the mail cover program comes about a month after National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden leaked documents showing that the government had conducted mass surveillance of the American public.
Bruce Schneier, a computer and security expert, said that the mail cover program is an invasion of privacy.
"Basically they are doing the same thing as the other programs, collecting the information on the outside of your mail, the metadata, if you will, of names, addresses, return addresses and postmark locations, which gives the government a pretty good map of your contacts, even if they aren't reading the contents," he said to The New York Times.
But for years, judges have ruled that there is no reasonable expectation that the information on the outside of a letter or package be kept private. According to The New York Times, both the George W. Bush and the Obama administrations have used the mail-cover program and related court rulings to justify the NSA surveillance programs.
Officials say that there are two types of mail surveillance — one related to criminal activity and one related to national security. Speaking on the condition of anonymity to The New York Times, law enforcement officials said that between 15,000 and 20,000 requests for criminal activity mail cover surveillance are filed each year. The number of mail cover surveillance requests made for national security reasons is not known.

Firefox flaws found, fixed
Page Tools
Several security problems exist in the preview release of Firefox 1.0 and these have been fixed in the final release which was put up for download two days ago. Users have been advised to upgrade.
The problems were detailed by the Secunia security advisory service and include moderately critical bugs that could be exploited to detect the presence of local files, cause a denial of service, disclose sensitive information, spoof the file download dialog, and gain escalated privileges.
Web sites may include images from local resources and these can be used to determine the existence of local images or cause a denial of service by referencing device files.
On Windows, there is the potential for stealing passwords via file shares.
Additionally, the dialog box that comes up during file download truncates filenames; this can potentially be exploited to spoof file extensions.
On Mac OS X, Firefox is installed with world-writable permissions. This means that local users can potentially gain escalated privileges.
In September, several highly critical vulnerabilities were fixed in Mozilla and Firefox and in the email client Thunderbird.
The disclosures come in the wake of a debate over browser security, and just a week or so after exploit code for some critical flaws in Internet Explorer was posted to a public mailing list, resulting in the emergence of a number of worms that can infect a user with a single click.

Phi Gamma Nu First Annual Mr. Business Pageant
By Michelle Gao
On November 18, students from the entire College of Business flooded Lincoln
Hall Theater at 7pm to witness the first Mr. Business Pageant. The competition
was between the business fraternities Phi Chi Theta, Delta Sigma Pi,
Alpha Kappa Psi and Phi Gamma Nu, as well as Business Council. There
were 10 brave contestants this year, a good beginning for what the College of
Business hopes to become an annual tradition. The event began with an amusing
dance number that all the contestants participated in; the audience cheered
appreciatively as the judges smiled. The contestants would repeat the dance
later in formal wear.
The talent and skit portions of the competition kept the crowd happy. None
of the talents were conventional – one contestant demonstrated his skill at
ribbon dancing. Phi Gamma Nu contestant Steven Buege performed a
rap that demonstrated his knowledge of the current state of the economy.
The crowd favorite probably came from senior David Saed, who was
representing Delta Sigma Phi; impersonated the film personality Borat.
The People's Choice Award was taken by the president of Phi Gamma Nu,
Kevin Adams, who performed a mime skit. The coveted title of Mr. Business,
however, was snagged by senior Scott Wolf, who was representing
Delta Sigma Phi. Judges included Dean Hedeman and Dean Mullins from
the College of Business, as well as three representatives from three of the
Big Four accounting firms. The judges, along with the rest of the audience,
were kept laughing throughout the entire night.
Humor and entertainment were not the only goals of the night; tickets cost
$3 if bought before the show, and were $5 at the door. All proceeds went
to the Big Brothers and Big Sisters Club of America. A good time
for a good cause!
