Egg Roll Dipping Sauce
Recipe by byZula
This is similar to the sauce from 'the Cheesecake Factory'.
Top Review by Veronica144
I used to go to Cheesecake Factory to have the eggrolls and "cilantro dipping sauce"...UNTIL I found this recipe!!! It is AWESOME! Thank you so much for posting!! I've made it many times and here are some suggestions...instead of the white and balsamic vinegars, I put in equal amounts of apple cider vinegar. I also increased the tamarind pulp to about 2-3 tsp, which gives it an extra zest. I omit the black pepper and use cayenne instead. When I don't have powdered saffron on hand, I use a little of Goya's Sazon con Azafran. Yummy! I've omitted the cumin several times b/c I didn't have on hand...still turned out wonderfully. I decrease the honey to about a 1/3 c. so it's not too sweet. Also, I found out the hard way that if you let your hand slip on the cashews, it changes the whole consistency and you end up with a "thick cream" rather than a sauce. Still yummy, but not for dipping. This sauce is very versatile and I rarely use it for eggrolls anymore. I've used it as a stir fry sauce for chicken and veggies and also as a salad dressing! Everyone that's tried it LOVES it. Thanks again!!

Noncircular cylinders
I'm trying to find a noncircular cylinder where the average Nusselt number is linearly proportional to the Reynolds number. So far, I've found an empirical correlation due to Hilpert where a hexagon shape gives a relation Nu ~ Re^0.782 and this is the closest I've come so far.
Anyone who has an idea what shape I can use? Or where to look for information?
Cheers / Anders
Re: Noncircular cylinders
there is an other posibility: try to vary the radius of a circular pipe ( or what ever non circular pipe) in such a way that you get a lineary change of Nu against Re. that should be a parabolic shaped pipe or something like this. The Re would definetly not be constant. Might keep me in touch!

Designed for magician Caroline Ravn, the Ravn playing deck is beautiful in detail and design. Available in colors green or red, this card deck is filled with images and silhouettes of ravens, again paying tribute to Ms. Raven. While the deck remains relatively classic, certain cards have been redesigned for a more custom look and to keep the theme of ravens in play.
The Ace of Spades in this deck is completely custom designed, as are the jokers, with one of them complete with a reveal card. Here's a quick fun fact: the hand that appears on the joker card is actually a drawing of Caroline Ravn's own hand – she had a major role in designing the Ravn card deck. With a renowned magician behind the concept of this playing deck, this is an absolute must-have for every card magician!

|Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte
Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has compared his anti-drug campaign to the Holocaust, saying he would kill as many addicts as Hitler did Jews.
"Hitler massacred three million Jews... there's three million drug addicts. I'd be happy to slaughter them," he said.
At least six million Jews as well as other minorities are known to have been killed by the Nazis.
Mr Duterte has overseen a bloody crackdown on drug users and dealers since taking office in June.
Official figures say more than 3,000 people have been killed in police operations or by vigilantes.
The bodies of those killed are often left out in public, with signs listing the crimes they were accused of.
The president has openly said he would "kill 100,000 criminals" to reduce crime in the Philippines.
'Disgusting rhetoric'
Mr Duterte was speaking in Davao, the city where as mayor he implemented a tough anti-crime policy and was accused of sanctioning death squads to kill criminals.
He told reporters he had been "portrayed to be some cousin of Hitler" as he lashed out critics who he said were accusing him of genocide.
"Hitler massacred three million Jews, now, there is three million drug addicts. I'd be happy to slaughter them," he said.
The most recent figures in the Philippines - released earlier in the week - suggests the number of drug users in the country is closer to 1.8 million, just 1.8% of the overall population, according to local news website Rappler.
Mr Duterte's rambling speech continued: "At least if Germany had Hitler, the Philippines would have..." - at which point he is reported to have pointed to himself.
His comments were criticised as "outrageous" by Jewish groups, Reuters reports.
"Duterte owes the [Holocaust] victims an apology for his disgusting rhetoric," said Rabbi Abraham Cooper of the US-based Simon Wiesenthal Center.
The US-based Jewish group the Anti-Defamation League said the comments were "inappropriate and deeply offensive".
"It is baffling why any leader would want to model himself after such a monster," said communications director Todd Gutnick.
Mr Duterte also used the speech to once again accuse the West of hypocrisy over their criticism of his brutal crackdown.
"You US, EU. You can call me anything. But I was never into... hypocrisy like you," he said.
"There are migrants escaping from the Middle East. You allow them to rot and then you're worried about the death of about 1,000, 2,000, 3,000?"

Duterte decries Hitler comparison
MANILA, Philippines — President Rodrigo Duterte lashed out at his critics who had been comparing him to Germany's Adolf Hitler.
The president called out the United Nations (UN), European Union (EU) and the United States (US) anew for criticizing his anti-drugs campaign in the country.
"Kaya kung ikaw nandito bakit hindi ka magmumura? (So if you are here, why wouldn't you curse?) You're portrayed or pictured to be some cousin of Hitler and yet do not even bother to find out, to investigate," Duterte said in his speech after arriving from Vietnam early Friday.
The president noted that Hitler killed three million Jews but said he is also willing to take down three million drug users to solve the drug issue in the Philippines.
"Hitler massacred three million Jews. Now, there are three million drug addicts. I'd be happy to slaughter them" Duterte said.
"At least if Germany had Hitler the Philippines would have... you know my victims, I would like to be all criminals to finish the problem of my country and save the next generation from perdition," the president added.
Duterte stressed that not a single case was filed against him when the Commission on Human Rights was looking into his alleged links with the Davao Death Squad during his term as mayor.
The international community has been criticizing Duterte's drug war due to the spate of extrajudicial and vigilante killings of drug suspects.
"Okay lang sa akin, sanay ako sa pulitika. Lahat ng kababuyan dumating na sa aking buhay. Pero itong mga ganito... look kayong US, EU you can call me anything but I was never into or I am never into hypocrisy like you," Duterte said.
The chief executive argued that both the EU and the US have closed its doors to migrants from the Middle East.
"There are migrants escaping from the Middle East. You allow them to rot and then you're worried about the deaths of about one thousand, or two thousand, or three thousand," the president said.
Duterte earlier said that he is willing to face investigation by the UN, the US and the EU over the killings of drug suspects as long as they follow Philippine laws.

The U.S. Supreme Court held that, based upon a textual reading and legislative history of the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act , the petitioner's qua individual's claim for immunity failed. The FSIA's scope was limited to states and their agencies or instrumentalities, which, the Court held, does not include natural persons. At pp. 19-20 of the opinion, Justice Stevens held:
"We are thus not persuaded that our construction of the statute's text should be affected by the risk that plaintiffs may use artful pleading to attempt to select between application of the FSIA or the common law. And we think this case, in which respondents have sued petitioner in his personal capacity and seek damages from his own pockets, is properly governed by the common law because it is not a claim against a foreign state as the Act defines that term.Although Congress clearly intended to supersede the common-law regime for claims against foreign states, we find nothing in the statute's origin or aims to indicate that Congress similarly wanted to codify the law of foreign official immunity.
Our review of the text, purpose, and history of the FSIA leads us to the conclusion that the Court of Appeals correctly held the FSIA does not govern petitioner's claim of immunity. The Act therefore did not deprive the District Court of subject-matter jurisdiction. We emphasize, how-ever, the narrowness of our holding. Whether petitioner may be entitled to immunity under the common law, and whether he may have other valid defenses to the grave charges against him, are matters to be addressed in the first instance by the District Court on remand. The judgment of the Court of Appeals is affirmed, and the case is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion."
Over at Opinio Juris, Chimène I. Keitner (University of California, Hastings College of the Law) writes about the Samantar v. Yousuf case (briefs and transcript available here), where the U.S. Supreme Court recently heard arguments on the interpretation of the 1976 Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA).
"…this suit for torture and extrajudicial killing was brought against Samantar, a former Somali official who now lives in Virginia, not against Somalia itself. As Justice Kennedy interjected after Samantar's lawyer Shay Dvoretzky had barely introduced himself, "I'm having difficulty seeing how the issues as presented in the brief really resolve very much." That is because, with respect to suits against individuals, the FSIA doesn't resolve very much."
"So, what is the Court likely to do? It seems that the result will turn on whether a majority of the Justices accepts that Congress was addressing a significant but narrow problem in 1976, and simply did not address the immunities of current or former officials in this particular statute (leaving that to the common law and, potentially, to future legislation), or whether a majority feels compelled in this decision to rule definitively on the precise contours of individual immunities without any statutory guidance. As Justice Scalia observed about the FSIA's apparent omission of any reference to individual officials, "I mean, I guess – I guess you could write it that way, but I don't know why anybody would want to write it that way." If the Justices cannot accept this perceived imperfection, they might be tempted to rewrite the FSIA. Given the various specialized immunities that apply to individuals as a matter of custom and treaty and do not fit within the text of the FSIA, this would be a mistake."
"The Judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by Citizens of another State, or by Citizens or Subjects of any Foreign State."
There are two recognized exceptions to a state's Eleventh Amendment immunity. First, Congress may abrogate the states' immunity under section five of the Fourteenth Amendment. Second, a state may waive its immunity and consent to suits by private citizens. (Bd. of Trustees of Univ. of Ala. v. Garrett, 531 U.S. 356, 363 (2001) ; Kimel v. Fla. Bd. of Regents, 528 U.S. 62, 73 (2000). For example, Illinois has waived its Eleventh Amendment protection by enacting the State Lawsuit Immunity Act, as amended by section five of Public Act 93-414, which reads as follows:
"[e]xcept as provided in the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act, the Court of Claims Act, and the State Officials and Employees Ethics Act, the State of Illinois shall not be made a defendant or party in any court." (State Lawsuit Immunity Act, 745 ILCS 5/1, Ill. Pub. Act 93-414, § 5)
(1) whether the foreign state created the entity for a national purpose;
(2) whether the foreign state actively supervises the entity;
(3) whether the foreign state requires the hiring of public employees and pays their salaries;
(4) whether the entity holds exclusive rights to some right in the [foreign] country; and
(5) how the entity is treated under foreign state law. (Ocean Line Holdings Ltd. v. China Nat'l Chartering Corp., 578 F. Supp. 2d 621, 624 (S.D.N.Y. 2008) (quoting Filler v. Hanvit Bank, 378 F.3d 213, 217 (2d Cir. 2004)) (citations omitted); Intelsat Global Sales & Mktg., Ltd. v. Community of Yugoslav Posts Telegraphs & Telephones, 534 F. Supp. 2d 32 (D.D.C. 2008) (citing Peninsula Asset Mgmt. v. Hankook Tire Co., 476 F.3d 140, 143 (2d Cir. 2007)).
In Santilli v. Cardone, No. 8:07-cv-308-T-23MSS, 2008 WL 2790242, at *2 (M.D. Fla. July 18, 2008) an Italian university claimed immunity from suit as a "foreign state" because of its close ties to the Italian government. The university's president attested that (a) the university had been re-established in 1964 by the Italian Government; (b) it received approximately 75% of its funding from the Italian Government; (c) the Italian Government oversaw and controlled the university's budget; and (d) the university was required to account to the Government for its spending. Despite these facts, the court refused to grant immunity to the university, finding no evidence that (1) the university's purpose of teaching and conducting research served a national purpose; (2) the Italian Government actively supervised the university or required it to hire public employees; (3) the university held any exclusive rights; or (4) Italian law treated the university as dependent upon the Government.
Applying the five-factor analysis for determining whether an entity is an "organ" of a foreign state, the Florida court found that the university was not an agency or instrumentality of the Italian government entitled to immunity from suit under the FSIA. A fortiori, a finding by this Honourable Court that the defendants are neither agencies nor instrumentalities of the U.S. government entitling them to immunity under the SIA, accords with American notions of comity and standards of jurisdiction, recognition and enforcement. Finally, on February 18, 1997, the Governor General in Council issued a Ministerial Order restricting certain immunity in relation to the United States which reads as follows:
The Canadian Approach to State Immunity
Foreign state immunity in Canada is governed by the State Immunity Act ("SIA"). Under the SIA, a foreign state is immune from the jurisdiction of any court in Canada unless one of the following enumerated exceptions applies:
"· the proceedings relate to any "commercial activity" of the foreign state, or
· the state has waived immunity by expressly submitting to the court's jurisdiction. (State Immunity Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. S-18)
Even if a foreign state fails to defend itself in legal proceedings, Canadian courts must give effect to state immunity. The relevant provisions of the State Immunity Act are as follows:
State Immunity
2. In this Act,
"agency of a foreign state" means any legal entity that is an organ of the foreign state but that is separate from the foreign state;
"commercial activity" means any particular transaction, act or conduct or any regular course of conduct that by reason of its nature is of a commercial character;
"foreign state" includes
(a) any sovereign or other head of the foreign state or of any political subdivision of the foreign state while acting as such in a public capacity,
(b) any government of the foreign state or of any political subdivision of the foreign state, including any of its departments, and any agency of the foreign state, and
(c) any political subdivision of the foreign state.
(3)(1) Except as provided by this Act, a foreign state is immune from the jurisdiction of any court in Canada.
Court to give effect to immunity
(2) In any proceedings before a court, the court shall give effect to the immunity conferred on a foreign state by subsection (1) notwithstanding that the state has failed to take any step in the proceedings.
Immunity waived
4. (1) A foreign state is not immune from the jurisdiction of a court if the state waives the immunity conferred by subsection 3(1) by submitting to the jurisdiction of the court in accordance with subsection (2) or (4).
State submits to jurisdiction
(2) In any proceedings before a court, a foreign state submits to the jurisdiction of the court where it
(a) explicitly submits to the jurisdiction of the court by written agreement or otherwise either before or after the proceedings commence;
(b) initiates the proceedings in the court; or
(c) intervenes or takes any step in the proceedings before the court.
(3) Paragraph (2)(c) does not apply to
(a) any intervention or step taken by a foreign state in proceedings before a court for the purpose of claiming immunity from the jurisdiction of the court; or
(b) any step taken by a foreign state in ignorance of facts entitling it to immunity if those facts could not reasonably have been ascertained before the step was taken and immunity is claimed as soon as reasonably practicable after they are ascertained.
Commercial Activity
5. A foreign state is not immune from the jurisdiction of a court in any proceedings that relate to any commercial activity of the foreign state.
Under the SIA, "foreign state" includes the government and departments of the foreign State, as well as those of any political subdivision of the foreign state, such as a province or state. It also includes any "agency of the foreign state". However, the immunity of agencies materially differs in certain respects from that of states. The SIA, defines an "agency of a foreign state" as "an organ of the foreign state [that is] separate from the foreign state." An "organ" of a foreign state is an entity that is co-extensive with or an adjunct of the state and that performs state functions, such as a government ministry or department. Some characteristics typical of state organs are that their board members are appointed by the government, their employees are civil servants, they do not control their daily operations or own their assets, and they cannot directly conduct commercial transactions on their own initiative. Doing Business With Foreign States and State Companies, (2006) Ogilvy Renault LLP.
An agency, while still sufficiently connected to the state to be an organ, is nonetheless legally distinct from the state. For example, state-owned companies are often considered "agencies of a foreign state" where the state has a great degree of control over them. Foreign state agencies can claim fewer benefits of state immunity: for example, property belonging to agencies is not immune from seizure, and the procedural requirements to sue an agency are more flexible than for states. (Collavino Inc. v. Tihama Development Authority (2007), (sub nom. Collavino Inc. v. Tihama Development Authority (TDA) an Organ of the Republic of Yemen) 420 A.R. 89 per N. Wittmann A.C.J.Q.B. (Alta. Q.B.) add'l reasons at (2007), 444 A.R. 1 (Alta. Q.B.)
The decision in TMR Energy Ltd. v. State Property Fund of Ukraine (2003), 244 F.T.R. 1 (F.C.), 2003 FC 1517 aptly summarizes the proper approach to analyzing the characteristics of an agency of a foreign state:
"It must be remembered that the alter ego test was developed at a time when the State Immunity Act had not yet been enacted (see Ferranti-Packard Ltd. v. Cushman Rentals Ltd. et al (1980), 30 O.R. (2d) 194, aff'd 31 O.R. (2d) 799, approving and adopting the test refined by Lord Denning in Trendtex Trading Corp. v. Central Bank of Nigeria, [1977] 1 Q.B. 529. At that time, the common law recognized the principle of immunity of foreign governments and extended that immunity to "its department of state or any body which can be regarded as an alter ego or organ of the government." (Trendtex Trading, at p. 559). The alter ego test was therefore a means of determining whether an entity was an "organ" of the foreign state for the purpose of benefiting from state immunity. It has no use or application to the determination of whether an entity had a distinct legal existence.
Thus, there are three concepts at play here: First, the concept of agency of a foreign state, which is included in the greater definition of foreign state. Then, there are the two defining characteristics of an agency of a foreign state: (1) that it be an organ of the foreign state (and our Courts in interpreting this requirement still use the alter ego test) and (2) that it be a legal entity separate from the foreign state. The concept of separate legal entity necessarily refers to a distinct corporate personality. Thus the concept of "organ of a foreign state" continues to refer to the function and control aspects which distinguishes true emanations of a government regardless of legal status, and a new concept is introduced, that of separate legal entity. The distinction is relevant to the scheme of the State Immunity Act…".(TMR Energy Ltd. v. State Property Fund of Ukraine (2003), 2003 FC 1517, 2003 CarswellNat 4117, 244 F.T.R. 1 at ¶'s 11-3-115 (F.C.) )
In University of Calgary v. Colorado School of Mines, 35 Alta. L.R. (3d) 199, 43 C.P.C. (3d) 189, [1996] 2 W.W.R. 596, 179 A.R. 81 (Alta. Q.B.) ), Justice Kent of the Alberta Court of Queen's Bench considered a state immunity argument raised by a Colorado college, alleging that it was an agency of state of Colorado in respect of a defamation claim brought against it by a Canadian university. Both parties entered into an agreement whereby the University of Calgary was to do certain work on the Colorado college's project. A dispute arose and the University of Calgary sued the Colorado college alleging defamation of its employees and breach of contract. The Colorado college later brought an action in Colorado alleging various torts and breach of contract. The Colorado college applied unsuccessfully for an order setting aside the Alberta university's statements of claim on the basis of forum non conveniens and a declaration that the college was an agency of the Colorado government under the State Immunity Act and therefore immune from the jurisdiction of the Alberta courts. The college appealed the denial of its application.
Kent, J. held that the defamation action was clearly an action in tort, which occurred at least partly in Alberta, or in any event, the University of Calgary's reputation would be more likely to be harmed in Alberta than in Colorado. Most of the factors weighed in favour of Alberta as the forum conveniens. With respect to state immunity, Kent, J. noted that the State Immunity Act provides that, except in certain circumstances, a foreign state is immune from the jurisdiction of Canadian courts. While the Colorado college was an educational institution, whose board was appointed by the government, in view of the Colorado college's autonomy, it could not be said that the college was an arm or agency of the state of Colorado. At paragraph 38 the learned judge held:
"38 Although the appointment of all of the members of the board indicates a higher level of control than there was in Harrison or McKinney, when one looks at what the board's function is, namely to be responsible to the institution for the day to day operation of the institution, CSM is not an arm or agency of the state of Colorado. The board has control and management of the institution, it sets its own bylaws and regulations, it makes decisions like setting the amount of tuition and the legislature has recognized in some circumstances it may act independently, albeit without the aid of government funds. CSM is not immune pursuant to the State Immunity Act. (University of Calgary v. Colorado School of Mines
Readers should take note of Canada's legislative response to a perceived over-reaching by the FSIA in the form of an Order Restricting Certain Immunity In Relation To The United States, SOR/97-12
Future Implications
Canada's approach to state immunity in an age of genocide and state-sponsored terrorism requires a paradigm shift in thinking. At least the U.S. Alien Tort Statute, 28 U.S.C. §1350 (also referred to as the Alien Tort Claims Act) has allowed some international human rights claims to proceed in U.S. courts. For example, see Doe I v. Unocal Corp., 963 F. Supp. 880 (C.D. Cal 1997) which imposed liability under the ATS against private corporations by imposing a standard of "knowing practical assistance or encouragement that has a substantial effect on the perpetration of a crime."
Recent efforts to amend the Canadian federal State Immunity Act are reflected in the form of Bill C-35- An Act to deter terrorism, and to amend the State Immunity Act, which did not make it past First Reading due to the recent prorogation of Canadian Parliament. Bill C-35 was an Act to deter terrorism, and to amend the State Immunity Act (the Justice for Victims of Terrorism Act or JVTA) which was introduced in the House of Commons on June 2nd 2009 by the Minister of Public Safety, the Honourable Peter Van Loan. The bill was to establish a cause of action that allowing victims of terrorism to sue individuals, organizations and terrorist entities for loss or damage suffered as a result of acts committed or omissions made that otherwise would be punishable under Part II.1 of the Criminal Code (which deals with terrorism offences).
Essentially, Bill C-35 would have allowed victims of terrorism to sue state-sponsors of terrorism for losses or damage occurring inside or outside Canada on or after January 1, 1985. For the Canadian international litigation and arbitration bars, Bill C-35 held promise to expand the narrow exceptions to state immunity by amending the State Immunity Act to create a new—albeit admittedly equally narrow—exception, which would serve to remove state immunity only "when the state in question has been placed on a list established by Cabinet on the basis that there are reasonable grounds to believe that it has supported or currently supports terrorism." According to the official Legislative Summary:
"Bill C-35 is similar to a number of private members' bills and senators' public bills that have been introduced in Parliament since 2005.(4) The primary difference between the previous bills and Bill C-35 is that the other bills sought to include the cause of action in the Criminal Code, whereas Bill C-35 creates a free-standing civil cause of action."
Only time will tell whether the winds of political change or judicial activism will finally hold sway and allow victims of human rights abuses and torture equal access to American or Canadian justice.

Audi A7 finally revealed (PHOTOS)
The first photos of the new Audi A7 Sportback have already appeared on the Internet, although the Germans tried to keep them secret until this evening when the model is scheduled for its official launch.
Although Audi has tried to keep the secrets about the new Audi A7 Sportback until this evening, when the official presentation is scheduled, the German sites were able to seize the first images of the new model.
The new Audi A7 keeps many elements present on the Sportback Concept, the prototype introduced at the Auto Show in Detroit in 2009.
The informations about the new model are still limited, they will be presented this evening, but German media announced that the production model will have a 3.0 TFSI engine which develops around 300 hp.
It is also possible that the new Audi A7 will have a 3.0 TDI, but also the new V8 diesel currently installed on Audi A8.

Reviewed by Kryten Syxx
Starring Jennifer Connelly, Daria Nicolodi, Donald Pleasence
Directed by Dario Argento
Distributed by Anchor Bay Home Entertainment
Something has gotten loose in the Swiss Alps, and young women across the land are no longer safe!
Dario Argento's Phenomena, or Creepers if you prefer, is probably the movie most of us remember seeing Jennifer Connelly in for the first time. It was clear she was going to go places, and what a strange way to start off a successful career. Jennifer plays, well, Jennifer, the daughter of a famous actor. While her dad films movies around the globe, she is sent to different schools, this time a boarding school for girls in Switzerland.
Jennifer, being a sleepwalker and capable of telepathically communicating with insects, is quickly ridiculed not only by fellow students but also by the religious staff of the school. Her only solace is a friendship she starts with an entomologist named John McGregor. Jennifer also befriends his trained chimp, and her powers are further cultured thanks to John's help.
There's little time for happiness, though, as a killer is on the loose. Young girls seem to be the main victims of the mystery killer, but few clues are left to make a positive ID. McGregor hopes to use the maggots found on some of the remaining body parts to trace the time of death, but unless they find more evidence, the crime spree may continue for a long time.
The entomologist decides to take a chance on "the two greatest detectives the world has ever known, or should I say, unknown." Yes, Jennifer's ability to communicate with insects could indeed help in locating dead bodies. John sets her up with a flesh-feeding fly, and off she goes on a bus. Too bad she never discovers anything concrete … it's also too bad that the killer gets to John, leaving his chimp a widow!
Jennifer is quick to try to escape the country, but she is talked into staying a few days at one of the boarding school employees' (Frau Brückner) homes while her father's agent flies in to claim Jennifer. She notices at this house a number of maggots everywhere. The suspicions are solidified when Frau tries to poison Jennifer and she falls into a pit full of rotting corpses. A narrow escape later, she finds Frau's son … and he is one ugly little bastard!
Chased and cornered on a boat, Jennifer unleashes her power to make an army of flies devour the kid, but what of mommy dearest? She shows up in time to decapitate Jen's dad's agent. Good thing that chimp was hanging around with a straight razor to save the day!
As expected, Jennifer Connelly gives an adult performance at the age of 14, but what if she had made this movie today at the same age? After all the Hanna Montana "naked back" craziness, the celeb obsessed media would have had a field day with some of the stuff young Jennifer was wearing, or not wearing. Boy … we've really turned into a sick gossipy society of scandal hounds. Where the hell did we go wrong?! Fucking TMZ.
Donald Pleasence also hands strong scenes as the wise, old entomologist John McGregor. Sadly, he is a tad underused and could have been fleshed out a bit more to make his death have a bigger emotional impact. McGregor has plenty of character to develop thanks to the disappearance of his friend and his handicap. This is where Phenomena's biggest problem is: wasted potential.
There are a handful of scenes that add little to the movie or just don't make sense whatsoever. Jennifer's examination by a doctor explains nothing and has no further impact on the film, along with some conversations that re-explain what we already know. Removaling these and lengthening the important areas would have gained this flick a 5, but there's really no use crying over spilled blood.
Regardless of the film's faults, the DVD is amazing. Anchor Bay crammed in a number of special features that were well worth the wait, especially after multiple releases through the years. This version now comes with a new widescreen transfer, commentary, two featurettes, a television interview with Dario, and two music videos.
The music videos, including one by Goblin, are a great bit of nostalgia as is "The Joe Franklin Show" interview with Dario Argento. It isn't often we get to see English interviews with the maestro, so this is a treat. However, these are nothing in comparison to the two featurettes that come on the disc.
A Dark Fairy Tale tells us all about the casting of Phenomena and the relationship formed between Connelly and a familiar face from previous Argento movies, Daria Nicolodi. Other members of the cast voice their experiences on the set and the dangers of sugar glass. Sadly, Jennifer is never part of the interviews, and she is needed. Her being the star of the show and missing from both featurettes really hurts. Then again, we do get to see lots of cool insect and special effects shots that sort of make up for it. Almost.
The Luigi Cozzi & The Art of Macrophotography featurette takes us behind the scenes of all the hard work that went into getting insects to do what the script asks of them. Macrophotography is responsible for capturing all of the insect close-ups, of which there are many. Wrangling these creepy crawlies also required a great amount of work that the surrounding area felt when the crew let thousands of flies loose after a night of filming. Guess that's one of the good things about CGI nowadays.
The commentary with Dario Argento, special makeup effects artist Sergio Stivaletti, music composer Claudio Simonetti, and journalist Loris Curci has some serious ups and downs. The downside is the audio itself. The levels for each commentator differ, leaving Dario nearly muted for the most part. By turning the volume all the way up, you can hear what he has to say, in English, but there's also a lot of dead silence. Loris Curci does his best to try to move the conversation along with various intriguing questions, but the other parties just don't sound interesting in talking.
Regardless of these problems, this is your chance to see Phenomena uncut and with a beautiful transfer. So click below and buy it, or choose the new box set that Anchor Bay has put out (which also includes Do You Like Hitchcock?, Card Player, Trauma, and Tenebre) for more bang for your buck.

A Boeing 737 airliner crashed on Sunday in the Russian city of Kazan, according to the Reuters news agency, killing all 50 people onboard. The incident highlighted the poor safety record of regional airlines that fly internal routes across the world's largest nation.
The son of the president of the oil-rich province of Tatarstan and the regional head of the FSB intelligence service were named among those killed when the plane slammed onto the runway and exploded into a ball of fire.
Pictures showed the wreckage scattered over a wide area. These were apparently taken after firefighters had extinguished the leaping flames. Russian television broadcast a blurred video showing a bright flash of light and a photo of the plane's gaping fuselage with firefighters in the foreground.
The Tatarstan airlines flight from Moscow had been trying to abort its landing in order to make a second approach when it crashed, killing all 44 passengers and six crew members, emergency officials said.
Flight U363 took off from Moscow's Domodedovo airport at 6:25 pm (1425 GMT) and crashed just over an hour later, emergency officials said. The leased plane was 23 years old.
There had been no technical problems reported with the plane prior to the flight and regular maintenance and troubleshooting between flights had been conducted, the news agency Interfax quoted the airline's press office as saying.
"The pilots, both born in 1966, had lots of experience," the agency quoted a spokeswoman.
According to local reports, the airliner lost altitude suddenly and its fuel tank exploded on impact.
There were high winds and above-zero temperatures over the airport in central Russia. Flights to and from the airport were halted until midday on Monday.
Kazan, which is 800 km (500 miles) east of Moscow, is the capital of the largely-Muslim, oil-rich region of Tatarstan. A new runway was built at the airport ahead of the World Student Games, held in the city earlier this year.

text: Quortus upgrades software to meet mobile edge computing principles21 Jan 2016 11:52 AM EdgeCentrix product enhanced to enable MEC-aligned implementation of cellular core network solutions for new 4G services and pave the way towards 5GQuortus has upgraded to its EdgeCentrix (ECX) technology to align its cellular core network solutions with Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) principles. The ETSI-endorsed MEC initiative is designed to enable new wireless services to be created by moving intelligence to the network edge – a trend that Quortus has pioneered for several years.The developments announced this week (20 January 2016) also move the Quortus Evolved Packet Core (EPC) to the split user/control plane and network slicing architectures that will be a key feature of 5G networks.MEC architectures combine wireless technology with an IT-type service environment to deliver efficient communications services with ultra-low latency and high bandwidth. MEC software applications can tap into local content and information about network conditions so that traffic can be handled in an optimal way. Examples include local traffic offload and caching, and video optimisation.Quortus' ECX technology takes this principle a step further, by implementing core network functions themselves in software at the network edge. The combination of these two approaches will allow service providers to truly deliver on the promise of MEC. Services are provided where they are consumed – at the network edge."To date, the thinking around MEC has focused on the user plane – looking at the traffic in the network and making decisions on 'over the top' optimisations such as video encoding or caching," said Andy Odgers, Quortus CEO."By also implementing network functions at the edge we open up even more powerful possibilities. We can use the capabilities of the network itself to create new services and optimise the user experience. At the same time we retain the robustness, security and control that's expected by both mobile network operators, and their customers."New versions of Quortus' ECX Enterprise and ECX Core, announced this week, mark the first time a core network solution has been MEC-aligned, allowing for 5G evolution and enabling compatibility with a host of IoT and other applications. These innovations will be particularly powerful within the enterprise environment, where they will enable genuine integration between local IT resources and operator-provided cellular networks.The new Quortus technology will allow MNOs and systems integrators to build a variety of new service offerings. Potential applications include offering SMEs presence-based solutions, or 4G-based digital media services that work "out of the box" without the need for a local IT department.For larger organisations, MEC strategies will allow local data and voice offload with PBX and LAN integration. This is particularly useful in campus type or remote locations, where sending data back to the core network might introduce unacceptable latency or security risks.MEC has also aroused interest for IoT applications as diverse as building control and medical monitoring, which require devices such as sensors and actuators to be connected to local computing resources, again without the need to touch the core network.Quortus is a pioneer of MEC technology and network virtualisation and has been at the forefront of moving core functions and intelligence to the network edge since 2009. Its EdgeCentrix technology enables a number of advanced products that push intelligence to the edge of the network. Quortus EPC changes in detailThe updated ECX Enterprise and ECX Core solutions split the control and user plane operations within the Serving Gateway (SGW) and Packet Data Network Gateway (PGW) network entities, key parts of the Quortus Evolved Packet Core (EPC).This allows user plane operations to be implemented locally within a MEC appliance, while control plane operations remain under the control of the mobile network operator (MNO), and can be located at the edge, in the cloud, or centrally.The resulting architecture allows operators to offer tighter and local integration with Enterprise services while offloading burdensome local traffic from the core, and retaining control of subscriber data, authentication and bearer policies.Simultaneously, it addresses some of the shortcomings of pure user-plane MEC strategies: for example, the resulting system can page a 4G UE, set up a dedicated bearer for VoLTE calls, and gracefully satisfy legal intercept (LI) requirements.The result is an operator-friendly, 5G-aligned system that supports the most advanced capabilities of cellular networks.Benefits for enterprisesFor the IT manager within the enterprise, it also provides powerful features. The local MEC appliance might integrate PBX capabilities, allowing genuine PBX/cellular integration with short-code dialling and presence awareness."Over the top" authentication techniques can be used to give IT departments control over users' access to local resources (for example the enterprise LAN) without the need for configuration via the MNO.Quortus's ECX Enterprise is a software-based product that can run embedded on a small cell, on standard hardware (such as a router or local virtual machine), or on a hosted services platform owned by an MNO or other third party.Capable of operating standalone or with reach-back to an MNO network, it is the first solution that fully supports voice over LTE (VoLTE) for enterprises. These capabilities were demonstrated in an award-winning proof of concept at Mobile World Congress 2015.

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!
WHAT IS THE TIME FRAME THAT A HOMW OWNER IS GIVEN TO EVACUATATE THE HOME WHEN THE FORCLOSURE BECOMES FINALwhat can the homeowner file after a writ of possesio has been executed?
This depends on what you mean by "final". The foreclosure process has a number of stages: first you are served with a summons and complaint. If you don't respond, normall a default is taken. Then, the Plaintiff moves for Summary Judgment, and a hearing is scheduled on Summary Judgment. At the hearing, if the judge grants Summary Judgment, techically the foreclosure case is final, other than the sale occurring. As part of the Order granting Summary Judgment, the court normally sets a foreclosure sale date. Unless the lender cancels the sale, it occurs on the sale date. Ten days after the sale, normally the court issues a Certificate of Title, which vests ownership of the property in whoever bought it at the sale (unless objections to the sale are filed first). Once the Certificate of Title is issued, the new owner can begin the eviction process. Depending on the time of year, it normally take about two weeks to get an Order of Possession. Once they get that, they can send the Sheriff's Office out any time to physically evict the occupants.
The owner of a property in foreclosure normally receives a copy of the Order of Summary Judgment, which sets the sale date.
The National Association of Consumer Advocates maintains a geographical listing of consumer law attorneys throughout the US. This can be found on its website, www.naca.netAsk a similar question
This is an easy question to answer. The correct answer is "It Depends." Also, I am assuming that you mean once title has transferred of the name of borrower when you say "foreclosure becomes final"
I just finished meeting with one of my law partners regarding a condo association that we represent. The mortgagee foreclosed and got title on two units about 6 months ago, and still has not sought a writ of possession to evict the mortgagors. The former unit owners are living for free. No mortgage payment, no rent payment and no association payment.
I have noticed that it is taking longer and longer for banks to go get a writ of possession to evict the homeowners. Additionally, from the time that they go to get the writ, here in Dade, it has been taking at least 5 days for the Sherriff to post the writ on the door, and at least another 5 days to come back and execute on writ. Although, the notice posted on the door says that the occupants have 24 to vacate.
If the property is bought by someone other than the lender, the process will amost always move sugically smooth and swiftly. I know this because I have seen it happen (not to people I represent), and I also represent foreclosure investors who buy foreclosed properties. On the 11th day after the sale, I at the foreclosure Clerk's office getting a certified copy of the title. Then I walk across the street to get my writ signed by the clerk. Then I walk it back to the same building where I started, but to the Sherrif's office on the 8th floor to drop of f the writ. In five days they post, and five days after that the former owners are out of there. Unless however, the former owners contact me and work out a deal where they pay my client rent (or unless they file bankruptcy and I have to get permission from the bankruptcy judge to proceed with the eviction.)
So it can be as swift as too weeks or perhaps as long as six months and counting. It will primarily depend on the motivation of the new property owner.Ask a similar question
The foreclosue is final when the property is sold "on the courthouse steps" to the highest bidder. The sale usually takes place between 28-35 days after the entry of the final judgment of foreclosure. Many judges will give you 60 to 90 days if you attend the hearing. Once the sale takes place the Certificate of Title is issued 10 days later after which the new owner (usually the bank) can seek a Writ of Possession to have you removed.Ask a similar question

Here was the scene this morning at the Biggest Loser location in Calabassas when replacement workers arrived for work in the pre-dawn hours and were confronted by IATSE strikers as the scabs crossed the union's picket lines. At bottom, strikers picket the gym where the Biggest Loser contestants work out. (Photos exclusive to Deadline by Jim Stevenson)
IATSE Strikers vs 'Biggest Loser' Scabs

Yes, scream in that guy's face for taking a job when nearly none are available in this awful economy. That will surely help them see the light of your cause.
I wish it was these Union scumbags who lost their jobs, so someone more deserving can have the work.
Good on those Americans who did the job, for the amount offered. That's what built this industry. People who cared more about making the show, than enriching themselves.
We need more people like that to get this country back on track.
I don't want to use the word 'scumbag' – but Captain Caveman is right – the only negotiation is between the employer and employee. And in a town that puts up PSAs about the evils of bullying seems to be rife with union bullies that they tolerate and embrace! In this economy people need to be earning money not paying union dues. If IATSE was so great people would be lining up to join, right? They just don't get it – entertainment unions are so last century!
"People who cared more about making the show, than enriching themselves." Really captain caveman? Then why won't the producers of one of the top prime-time network television shows provide health insurance and retirement benefits for their employees, oh yeah, too busy enriching themselves. The economy has created a desperate workforce that they can exploit to line their own pockets. Bad economies are when we need unions to protect the working class most, not when we let the strong prey on the week to destroy what is left of this great country. The richer get rich on the backs of the middle class, destroying the working class american and forcing a greater disparity between rich and poor ultimately destroying the overall economy. Yeah, you are right CaptainStupid, we are losing jobs to china because they will work for pennies a day, so we should try and negotiate those kinds of wages to ensure that work will stay here, what ever they offer sounds good to me instead of joining with my working brothers to say none of us will work for a wage that is not fair and livable. Heck, you wanna talk about the gold old days and the building of this nation, let's get the billy clubs, bats, tire irons and homemade fire grenades out so we can re-establish the strength of our unions and force the people stealing our ability to negotiate on even footing to go back to whatever rock they climb out from under!
All of these IA people should get jobs instead of picketing at 5am, go to work and stop living off all the hard working people out there. What a joke cant beleive that the IA would do this in this economic time, what a buch of fools.
There are many non-union productions that do adhere to the common-sense rules and protections that are industry standard, thanks to the unions. Unfortunately, the "new normal" these days, since "reality" has become so popular, are twelve hour days, with no overtime, often five to six days per week. The rates for these days are what were the average about four years ago for ten hours. And if you don't take it, someone else will…or they move production to Canada. Somebody is raking in the money, and it certainly isn't the crews. Do the math, the production companies are getting one day of labor free each week by getting two additional hours of work each day. When a crewmember gets in an accident making her way down the winding road leading out of the King Gillette ranch at the end of yet another twelve hour day, will the producers feel any responsibility for the fact that she has no health insurance to cover her injuries. If that accident results in her death, will working conditions finally change? The union exists to help prevent that scenario.
If they don't want the jobs they've got, for the money they're paid, then they should give them up to someone who will do the work.
What the IA can't get by a true marketplace negotiation they try to get by intimidation. No one wins. Poor crew leaving a well paying job based on the assurance that the Union will deliver; the company working with inferior talent. In the end the company will sign and it will figure out ways to save the money in ways that will ultimately cost the BTL. Some say the IA "negotiates" with the Reality producers. Really? A negotiation implies a give and take environment not a "take our video-tape agreement as we choose to modify" or suffer the consequences. How about let the marketplace dictate the rates, have the IA dictate the benefit package, and the law dictate the overtime, meal breaks and other working conditions.
Then the crew can decide if the money is right while at the same time get the Pension and Health Benefits and work days they deserve. Not an option? Oh, yeah, I forgot this is a pre-determined negotiation.
I applaud this. Strikers behaving well and scabs also behaving well. A sign of being able to disagree without being disagreeable. I do take issue with that guy's denim on denim look. Mix in some khaki.
Shouldn't the headline read:
IATSE 0 – Biggest Loser 1?
It appears the purpose of the picket line was not to shut down the show but to make the scabs feel guilty.
The purpose of the picket line WAS to make the scabs feel guilty. There's not much else that Unions can legally do, which is itself a sad reflection on the state of the world today.
As for no WGA support, I dont know who the writer was who crossed the line this morning, but if he was WGA, he ought to be (fill in the blank)-ed.
it didnt make me feel guilty. them yelling "you took their/our jobs" made all of us laugh because you walked off set, they were going to get people to replace you guys no matter what.
Why does Alison Sweeney hate her crew?
She got the benefits of union membership when she was an actress, don't they deserve health insurance, a pension, and to get paid for overtime?
Uh… oh. There's a new sheriff in Stupidtown. Ali doesn't hate her crew. She has a no-strike clause and is prohibited by her AFTRA contract to strike in sympathy with IA. The crew loves Ali.
It's funny, all of these union signs say "No Contract" yet every new season I work on a show I sign a deal memo. So does this mean "No Union Contract"?
BTW, since people can be anonymous in the comments section, how many field producers, story producers and post-production staff are 100% on-board with this?
I understand this is mostly driven by the IATSE members who set up equipment, swing hammers, drive trucks, etc… because they want to be credited for the hours to maintain their P&W. Ever heard those horror stories where a PA can't plug in a fish tank or a coffee pot because a union electrician has to do it? LOL!
And one more thing, "Scab" is a term reserved for people who cross the picket line for a union shop. This isn't a union shop so they're not technically "Scabs". I'd call them "workers".
Has anyone seen that episode of the Simpsons where Homer is on a movie set and tries to out-lazy the Teamster guys? That was some funny shit!
I do pre-production and writing – and it disgusts me to see people ruining an industry out of greed. Unions should be banned.
Oh, wow Captain…you are in pre-production, explains a lot.
Union's are what made this country great, just one more thing on a long list that people do not understand and are trying to distroy.
Humm…wonder why America sucks nowadays?
I was reading my Superman V Hollywood book.
Isn't IASTE the same union that used to work with the scab producers.
(40's, 50's)
While I sympathize with the loss of work, isn't it time that the unions merge to ensure a complete shut down when this happens to union workers.
WGA, SAG, AFTRA ETC etc. ditto.
It's the network's that IA needs to picket, not these small production companies. It make no difference to producers if you picket. And even if you succeed in turning the production, you can bet next year another fresh company will be producing the show.
The unionization of reality TV is a total lost cause. The days of the word 'scab' having any resonance are over as well. Anyone else feel this kind of conflict and rhetoric went out with print newspapers?
These people better get used to the new world. The days of being able to make vast claims for salaries and benefits are gone. And the only people who are going to stay in the industry are those who are willing to work for what the studio / producer is offering.
I know it's not nice. But that is reality. Most viewers are no longer American, or even English speaking, and they don't give a damn about your working conditions.
Take my advice. Just do the work and be glad you've got a job.
Very accurate comment; but also a sad indication of an industry that is continually "losing it's luster."
Anti-union guy outs himself as a bigot. How shocking!
Other than the out of work crew I want to know which entity will be the Biggest Loser in terms industry perception ; Reveille, 3 Ball or NBC? Who ultimately will be held accountable for this mess?
My only question is where are the WGA members? IATSE members fully supported them while they shut the entertainment industry down and yet they can't get off the gold course and return the favor?
Not a single WGA member there to support them, why am I not surprised?
If there was an opening in a state with a 12% unemployment and I had a family to feed, I would cross a picket line and not even think twice. Just because a union steps in and tries to dictate pay from an employer, doesn't mean you call people who need work "scabs". Look at all of the industries that have been led by unions: airlines, car companies all bled their employers bankrupt at their greedy expense of giving a better life to their employees.
If people are currently showing compassion and empathy for all the bullying out there, then why not focus on this piece of crap. Unions got exactly what they wanted with this post: photographs and attention.
I agree with you. It's pathetic to criticize people for working. And it was the Unions who mostly caused so many jobs to go overseas.
It was the Unions that caused jobs to go overseas…not greedy employers. What's color is the sky on your planet?
Wow, you really believe that. You do realize that the companies that hire overseas don't even deny that they're doing it because labor is cheaper. You are truly misinformed.
You have no idea what you are talking about…
Why was everyone all bent out of shape during the WGA strike but now you are all "how dare they in 'this economy'"? How is it any different?
I hope y'all remember that when the writers decide to go on strike again.
As a union member, I have no argument with striking, picketing and taking appropriate legal actions when called for. What we see depicted here, however, is not "fighting for your rights". It's nothing more than the common bully-boy tactics of old. This gives union members a black eye all over the Country. It's not effective and it stymies organizing efforts in places you might want to work someday. And it sets a pretty bad example about bullying for our kids and grandkids.
The story producers are also losing out – the wga stopped trying to help them. they get paid less then the crew and many times work longer hours since there are no boundaries, weekends, 16 hr days. The crew gets a false sense of security with 12 hr days and then ot. story team doesn't get overtime and sees their rate dwindle as they work more and more hours, weekends, etc. I am certainly not saying who has it worse. I am simply asking those who support the strike and the unions to also consider supporting the "story team" which are called "producers", but are actually by wga standards writers and should be receiving wga benefits. I would love to see all crew on reality be united and get the same benefits as our scripted brothers since we are making the same advertising dollars!
And we should care about writers and the WGA why? At least IA member know what hard work is.
Cooper comment At least IA member know what hard work is.
Sitting at craft service filling your face with a doughnut and waiting for lunch is called hard work. Maybe its counting the clock so you can say meal penalty or watching the clock so that you can demand OT the second the clock goes over.
Give me a break. I've worked with some of you IA people and your just a lazy ass getting over paid for whinning all day.
A few things that nobody has explained, especially those on the "then find another job" side, is:
-Why shouldnt workers be paid for overtime?
-Why should the companies tax burden be shifted to the workers in the form of illegal 1099 payments?
-Why cant the crew eat after 6 hours of work?
-Why cant the crew get a reasonable turnaround, so they can go back and sleep and shower?
Simply regurgitating the republican talking points about the evils of unions doesnt apply here. We arent competing against a japanese car company here folks. There isnt the same show being produced in a third world country where wages and living conditions are humanely criminal to compete against the exact same show in the US. This isnt the UAW. Simply saying "Union" doesnt mean all unions are the same. Treating the issue and unions the same shows a lack of depth and understanding about the issues.
Thank you for pointing this out, this is what it's about. Reality TV is behind the times on the rights that are afforded to regular TV and film. All they want is the same treatment.
For those of you suggesting unions are evil and that people should just work for what the studio is prepared to pay them, people have a right to ask for a fair wage. That's how to maintain a healthy industry, and unions aren't exclusive to entertainment. These aren't stars or producers getting rich here, it's a matter of the crew wanting proper working conditions.
Well Captaincaveman, Your handle fits you well. Your ignorance about the abuses of entertainment labor past and present is only surpassed by your willingness to adhere to an economic philosophy that is designed to undermine your best interest. Your idea that greed is the IA's motivation is firmly rooted in seeing what you want to see regardless of fact or truth. Why is it that the rich and powerful get all the slack and the workers have to take it and like it? Is that what you think America represents? Does having money give one the right to abuse others! Or Take advantage of those that help bring your success? THAT'S America? Why are you so offended that a group of workers are standing up to fight for what's FAIR. Greed is when they want more than what's fair. Talk to the producers about that. How free is a free market when one side has all the leverage? I suspect that either your one of TBL's producers or someone that couldn't make the cut to get on a union crew. I'm sorry that you allow big money interests to influence your common sense. I'm sure that you don't understand the issues involved here. Why don't you crawl back into your cave and try to light a fire. Or haven't you invented that yet. You are too caught up in the feel good sound bites that comprise your knowledge base and general belief system. Maybe one day you'll do some research into what those bites really mean and you'll realize just how selfish the people that fed them to you really are. Until then, maybe you should go back to the kids table, the adults are talking now.
Here's a little gossip from InsideOut:
Rumor has it that the negotiations are nearly there. The big sticking point right now is rumored to be Post Production. The union is insisting that the editors be included in the contract. The rub here is that not only is the show edited under a third party contract, but THE EDITORS DO NOT WANT TO BE INCLUDED!! Let me shout that again: not only did the editors not participate in the crew vote nor in the strike, THE EDITORS DO NOT WANT UNON REPRESENTATION. In my humble opinion, nobody should have union representation shoved down their throats, apparently that's not the position of the union negotiators.
So, for all of you out there on the picket lines,all of you who are approaching your third week without a paycheck: If this is true, you would be back to work right now if the union would allow the production company to sign the deal without the editors included. Thought you should know.
Looks like IATSE and the Producers have reached a tentative agreement. Now the crew can go back to work make a decent wage AND receive pension and health benefits.
The crew banded together and decided they wanted a contract.
Good for them!

Description: Edgar award-winning author of the popular historical novels A Conspiracy of Paper and A Spectacle of Corruption, David Liss showcases his amazing versatility with this brilliant new tale of contemporary suspense: a literary thriller set in Florida, where killing is a matter of conscience. No one is more surprised than Lem Altick when it turns out he's actually good at peddling encyclopedias door to door. He hates the predatory world of sales, but he needs the money to pay for college. Then things go horribly wrong. In a sweltering trailer in rural Florida, a couple whom Lem has spent hours pitching is shot dead before his eyes, and the unassuming young man is suddenly pulled into the dark world of conspiracy and murder. Not just murder: assassination- or so claims the killer, the mysterious and strangely charismatic Melford Kean, who has struck without remorse and with remarkable good cheer. But the self-styled ethical assassin hadn't planned on a witness, and so he makes Lem a deal: Stay quiet and there will be no problems. Go to the police and take the fall. Before Lem can decide, he is drawn against his will into the realm of the assassin, a post-Marxist intellectual with whom he forms an unlikely (and perhaps unwise) friendship. The ethical assassin could be a charming sociopath, eco-activist, or vigilante for social justice. To unravel the mystery and save himself, Lem must descend deep into a bizarre world he never knew existed, where a group of desperate-and genuinely deranged-schemers have hatched a plan that will very likely keep Lem from leaving town alive. David Liss skillfully interweaves a gallery of eccentric characters with a multilayered plot characterized byits unpredictable twists and turns. The Ethical Assassin is a brilliant, darkly comic novel that will leave readers in suspense until the very last page. "From the Hardcover edition."

Microsoft has open sourced a research project called Checked C to add new syntax and typing to the C language. The primary goal is to neutralize some hazards of C programming, such as the bugs that gave rise to the Heartbleed andShellshock security incidents.
It's a bold idea, at least on paper. The tough part will be finding a way to provide incentive for C developers to change existing code — a task the legacy weight of C has always made difficult.
Check yourself before you wreck yourself
Checked C is a modified version of C that addresses the issues that arise with pointers, C's mechanism for accessing memory directly. The language provides several new kinds of pointer and array types that come with built-in safeguards. They're distinct from the existing unsafe pointer types in C, so a programmer can use the new, checked pointer types for safety and revert back to the unsafe types if that's ever required.
The new version also provides checked program scopes. These are blocks of the program code where bounds checking is turned on by default. If the programmer attempts to use an unchecked pointer within such a scope, the compiler will reject it. It's also possible to specify that a whole program be checked by default, by way of a compiler
#pragma directive.
An assortment of tools already exists for analyzing C code and detecting problems of this nature — e.g., Cppcheck — but they're generally separate static analysis tools. Checked C builds safety features directly into C as part of the way programs are conceived and planned.
Hurdles ahead
Ambitious and valuable as Checked C sounds, it must also deal with two challenges that arise whenever changes are suggested to any existing language. The first is that such changes are typically not backward-compatible. Second, they sometimes involve disruptive changes to the toolchain. Both of these are all but guaranteed to inhibit uptake.
Microsoft has the backward compatibility issue at least partly taken care of. The changes introduced by Checked C don't invalidate existing C programs; they still compile as-is. All of the new syntax and alterations to the language co-exist with its legacy incarnation.
An existing C program doesn't even need to be converted to Checked C all at once; it can be converted file-by-file or function-by-function. Microsoft also claims the new-style checked constructions are "layout-compatible with existing pointer and array types." This high degree of backward and forward compatibility gives Checked C an advantage, but again, not an automatic win, as the language still has to pass into something like general use first.
That leads to the other problem, the changes to the toolchain. Microsoft has at least partly addressed this issue by implementing Checked C via a fork of the well-known and widely used LLVM compiler framework. This way, if Checked C gets traction, it'll be easy for the main LLVM project to support it.
That said, it's likely Microsoft chose LLVM because of its liberal licensing and because it's designed to build compilers for new languages, rather than because it served as a vehicle to get Checked C into many hands. The older and more widely used GCC compiler would also need to provide support for Checked C for it to enjoy greater uptake. (It goes without saying that Microsoft would likely add such support to Visual Studio if the demand manifested.)
Mozilla's Rust language has been positioned as a safer way to write the types of programs normally left to C . There's little question the language has enjoyed great advances in its development and has a thriving audience . But it's still young, while C is widely and deeply entrenched. Modifying existing C apps might come at less of a nest cost than rewriting them entirely in Rust — assuming, that is, Rust doesn't end up becoming everything Checked C wants to be and then some.

Appeal verdict looms in aircraft subsidy dispute
The United States will find out next week whether it has succeeded in overturning a ruling that Boeing
Appeal judges at the World Trade Organization are expected to uphold some claims of unfair support for Boeing, while Washington edges towards possible sanctions against the European Union in a parallel case that spotlighted harmful aid to Airbus
The two trading superpowers have been fighting for more than seven years over mutual allegations of illegal handouts for passenger plane production, affecting hundreds of thousands of jobs at Boeing, its European rival Airbus and their suppliers.
Next week's verdict marks the latest stage in the dispute as Airbus and Boeing battle for aircraft sales estimated at $4 trillion (2.52 trillion pounds) over the next 20 years.
The twin subsidy cases at the WTO have already entered the record books as the world's largest and costliest trade dispute, with both sides claiming victory at every step.
In the latest stage, the WTO's appellate body will give its verdict on aid to Boeing on February 29, while ordering both parties to keep the contents confidential while each side checks that sensitive business data does not accidentally get made public.
The ruling is then likely to be published some time in March, giving the United States six months to fix any unfair measures, people familiar with the case said on Friday.
The WTO declined to comment.
The Geneva body ruled last March that Boeing had received at least $5.3 billion of illegal U.S. subsidies, sparking an appeal from Washington and a technical appeal from the EU.
The aid included $2.6 billion of research funding from space agency NASA.
Both sides are expected to keep the focus on their respective cases, with both Washington and Brussels scoring victories on some but not all of their complaints. Experts say plaintiffs usually win at least part of their cases at the WTO.
In the original U.S. case, which is running several months ahead of an EU counter-suit, WTO experts found that Airbus had received billions of dollars of illegal subsidies from European governments, mainly in the shape of preferential loans.
The two sides do not agree over the amounts involved but Washington has said European support to Airbus dwarfed its aid for Boeing, while Brussels argues the grants supplied to the U.S. company are more toxic than loans supplied to Airbus.
The U.S. has rejected EU claims that nations where Airbus is based -- France, Germany, Spain and UK -- complied with the WTO verdict and wants to impose $7-10 billion in annual sanctions.
A flashpoint in the ongoing dispute is likely to be the extent to which Airbus uses similar funding system for its next plane project, the A350.
One of the biggest bones of contention left in the mammoth case is whether that plane is covered by the 2,000 pages of rulings already published and therefore whether its funding can help to build the case for U.S. sanctions.
A person familiar with the matter said Washington could trigger a procedure within weeks designed to speed up sanctions.
Most analysts say it could be years before sanctions actually kick in but that if they do, they could engulf other industries.
Instead, many trade experts expect the two sides to attempt to negotiate a settlement as the legal appeals and counter-appeals become more and more entangled.
Brazil, Canada, China, India, Japan and Russia have an eye on the market and both sides have an interest in clarifying the rules for how governments can facilitate aircraft development.
So far, neither side has flinched in the protracted dispute which, according to people involved, has conservatively cost $100 million in travel and fees for lawyers and consultants.
