1. John Stahl
John Stahl was doing Douglas Sirk-style melodrama two decades before Sirk—literally so, in the case of his arguably superior '30s versions of Imitation Of Life and Magnificent Obsession—but outside of Martin Scorsese's loving appreciation of the rainbow-noir classic Leave Her To Heaven in A Personal Journey Through American Movies, Stahl's fevered middle-class melodramas haven't gotten their due. (Like a lot of the directors on this list, he doesn't even have much in the way of biographical information posted on the IMDB.) Thanks to TiVo's "WishList" function, it's easier to catch up with lesser-heralded Hollywood craftsmen like Stahl. For those who want to explore beyond Leave Her To Heaven and the two films Sirk remade, keep an eye out for the periodic Fox Movie Channel airings of 1943's Immortal Sergeant, with Henry Fonda as a milquetoast who becomes a man during wartime, and 1949's gently wacky Father Was A Fullback, with Fred MacMurray as an embattled college coach weathering a scandal involving his wallflower daughter and her interest in writing "true confessions" pulp stories. The situations may be exaggerated, but Stahl always emphasizes the natural reactions of people just trying to get a handle on what the world expects of them.
2. Charles Walters
The MGM musical's acknowledged masters include the likes of Vincent Minnelli and Stanley Donen, who both went on to make more mature dramatic films; but for pure buoyancy, it's hard to beat Charles Walters, whose Good News, Easter Parade and Summer Stock are an unmatched trifecta of giddiness and imaginative musical staging. One of Walters' best, most underrated films is a non-musical, 1951's Three Guys Named Mike, with Jane Wyman as a novice stewardess who juggles three suitors while learning the ins and outs of commercial air travel. It's sweet and silly, but grounded in real anxiety.
3. Don Weis
The filmography of Don Weis is dominated by television credits—and good ones, like The Andy Griffith Show, M*A*S*H* and Remington Steele—but in his time as an MGM hand in the early '50s, Weis helmed a likable batch of programmatic fare, like the power-of-the-press fantasy Bannerline and the post-screwball comedy A Slight Case Of Larceny. Weis deserves to be a better-known name for two zippy musicals he made in 1953: The Affairs Of Dobie Gillis (featuring a rare starring performance by underused MGM dancing dynamo Bobby Van, and a supporting turn by Bob Fosse) and I Love Melvin (a fleet New York media satire, with some quirky musical numbers). Both those films star Debbie Reynolds, looking as peppy as she ever has, even when, in the latter, she's dressed as a football and being passed around by men in shoulder pads.
4. Roy Rowland
One of the original American independent filmmakers, Roy Rowland got his start directing Robert Benchley shorts, and is most famous for bringing Dr. Seuss' bizarre The 5,000 Fingers Of Dr. T to the big screen. But he also made tough little genre pieces like Rogue Cop and Slander, which both took uncompromising stances on social ills, and though it's far from a great film, Rowland's low-budget indie version of Mickey Spillane's The Girl Hunters—hampered by Spillane's charisma-free lead performance—comes closer to capturing the gamy side of private-eye fiction than any other film made in the '60s.
5. Richard Fleischer
There aren't too many directors with more hits and less name recognition than Richard Fleisher, who guided big movies like 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea and Tora! Tora! Tora! to the screen, balancing spectacle with quieter scenes that emphasize the odd rituals of lives spent in service. But Fleisher was equally adept at gritty noir thrillers, as evidenced by his taut, well-regarded 1952 action film The Narrow Margin, and by the lesser-known but equally cool 1949 policier Follow Me Quietly, in which the noose tightens around a serial killer while two cops stew over their past failures.
6. Richard Brooks
Richard Brooks was hailed as an artist in his own day, at least by people who admired his foursquare adaptations of literary classics like The Brothers Karamazov, Cat On A Hot Tin Roof and Elmer Gantry. But his career was really more interesting in the early going, when he made character-driven genre exercises like Deadline USA, and later on, when he made dark-toned crime pictures like In Cold Blood and Looking For Mr. Goodbar. A few of the worthier oddities: 1953's Take The High Ground, about the petty bitching of drill instructors, 1956's The Catered Affair, with Bette Davis out of her element (but still engaging) as a working-class mom overspending on her daughter's wedding, and 1971's $, a caper comedy with a surprisingly libertine air.
7. William Friedkin
Peter Biskind's Easy Riders, Raging Bulls holds up William Friedkin as one of the quintessential examples—along with Peter Bogdanovich—of a big-time '70s filmmaker who got too full of himself and fell off the pace. But though Friedkin's films have been hit-and-miss since his French Connection/Exorcist heyday, he's made several action movies that are among the best of their era, including 1985's brutal To Live And Die In L.A., 1988's serial killer chase thriller Rampage, 2000's ripped-from-tomorrow's-headlines courtroom drama Rules Of Engagement and 2003's lean mano-a-mano duel The Hunted, all of which have expressed Friedkin's right-wing pessimism and his innate understanding of urban alienation. In his own way, he's been as uncompromising an artist as any of his "film school brat" peers.
8. Walter Hill
For three decades now, fans of the kind of unfussy genre filmmaking practiced by the likes of Budd Boetticher and Don Siegel have brightened up when they've seen Walter Hill's name in the credits. Hill broke through in the '70s with cultish action movies like The Driver and The Warriors, and had his biggest hits in the '80s with the seedy revenge flick Southern Comfort and the tougher-than-most-remember Eddie Murphy vehicle 48 Hrs. Lately, he's jumped from indistinct work-for-hire and TV assignments to the occasional from-left-field neo-western like Wild Bill and Last Man Standing (and, in a weird way, Trespass). Hill also helped define the look and feel of the TV series Deadwood, and if his recent western miniseries Broken Trail is any indication, he hasn't lost his gift for turning tired premises into nifty examinations of how men work together.
9. Michael Apted
Thanks to the Up series of documentaries, Michael Apted will always be a known quantity among serious cineastes, but outside of Coal Miner's Daughter, Apted's fiction features have gotten less attention. For a time in the '90s, Apted could be reliably counted on to elicit engaging performances in plugger pictures with traces of a social conscience, like Thunderheart and Extreme Measures. One of the best of that bunch was 1991's Class Action, with Gene Hackman and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio as father-daughter lawyers on the opposite sides of a civil suit. It's a twisty, humane film—the kind that people stumble across on cable and watch all the way to the end, caught up in the story and the mood. But unlike the movies made by better-known and more heralded directors, it's not the kind of movie likely to make someone say, "I wonder who directed that?"

Morning Frills #13: "It's a Cover-Up!" Edition
Women—and the men who admire them—can't live by bikinis alone.
On occasion, alas, it is necessary to wear a little bit more than three tiny triangles of fabric held together by thin strips of string.
For one thing, sometimes it can get cold. Which can lead to pneumonia. Which is not very sexy.
Secondly, prolonged exposure to the sun can lead to skin cancer, which is also not very sexy.
In the interest of Keeping the Sexy, travel back to the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in Miami—the scene of yesterday's Morning Frills—for a look at some less revealing, but no less enthralling, summer-clothing options.
Oh, and a couple of bikinis too. Because they're still pretty neat.

RTML templates are essential for maintaining your Yahoo! Store through the store editor. In order to have a custom Yahoo! Store design, you must have customized RTML templates. RTML templates would include one for your shell and homepage, your section page and your item page. Because RTML is a proprietary language, Yahoo! Store owners will most likely find they need help to design and program their store's templates — but once the store is built, it's easy to manage. No longer will you have to edit every page individually as you would if you were using something like Yahoo! Site Builder. Larger stores — even with in-house designers, non-Yahoo! developers, or store owners with a designer friend will most likely outsource the RTML programming to a specialized RTML developer, such as Solid Cactus. And since design of these RTML templates go hand-in-hand with programming, coming on board with a complete Yahoo! Store package makes sense.
Solid Cactus has a team of RTML programmers and web designers with years of experience that can design RTML templates and implement them into a working interface that is easy for you to maintain. Not only are we experts in RTML programming, but also in developing innovative Yahoo! Store features that work with the RTML to enhance your store.

A handy bolt hole
Needing to be in Truro for 48 hours, it was very handy.
Despite fronting straight on to a busy road, it has the convenience of plenty of parking space and my room at the back was peaceful, with a delightful view over wooded hills.

Pleasantly Surprised
Reviews were many and varied at the time of booking but I decided to take a punt as the location was right for a fairly early start the next morning.
Although we didn't sample the food, the hotel (and it's a hotel, not a pub despite the name) was really nice and our room was nice and spacious and comfortable.

All good
Friendly welcome on arrival.
Room was very luxurious and clean. Nice décor throughout and plenty of parking. Price was a bit on the expensive side but that's kind of to be expected for a room in Cornwall over Easter. Would stay here again.

Accessible, welcoming and very comfortable
It's always a problem finding accommodation that really IS accessible, but this hotel was.
Lovely spacious room, with a wet room style bathroom. The staff were knowledgeable and courteous. We'd stay there again. My only comments on the slightly negative side are specialist access things, that wouldn't affect the average user. (That's what you get when you ask a disability advisor to write a review!!) I write them here just to help other possible guests who have a disability. These things are: The door access push buttons were not working anymore - instead a bell had been fitted with a notice saying ring for assistance. Plus the lighting in the bedroom, although reasonable, is not good over the mirrors, especially if you have low vision like myself. The light over the desk/dressing table mirror was in the ceiling and too high for good light on the face - you had to stand to be able to see properly (It's an accessible room - standing isn't always good!) The mirror in the bathroom had no light over it, making it unusable for those with poor vision. The accessible room we had backed onto the reception area, and it was possible to hear noise from the reception at night, including what I thought might be the printer bumping.

Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
Hi. I'm online and happy to answer your question today.
What you are describing is called myokymia.
Myokymia is an involuntary, local twitching of a few muscle fibers in the body of a muscle. This twitching, if it occurs in a limb, is not strong enough to actually move a joint but can be felt and sometimes seen as an area of quivering.Myokymia commonly involves the eyelids and muscles around the orbit. It often appears and resolves for no apparent reason and has not been linked to any underlying significant pathology. What causes myokymia? Studies have shown that it is associated with anxiety, stress, lack of good sleep, high caffeine intake and the use of some drugs.The best way to treat myokymia is to get more sleep, decrease caffeine intake and decrease stress. The good news is that myokymia is not a sign of serious underlying pathology and often resolves on its own.
Thank you very much. will cut down on my caffeine intake
And, yes, decreasing your caffeine intake can make it better. There, really, is no need to go to a doctor (other then the Wonderful Experts at JustAnswer :o) for this issue.
Does this make sense to you?
Yes, very much. all of the explanations fit into my life. Appreciate it.
My pleasure. Have a good day.

The 'Total Recall' actress rocks a simple white and green gown with plunging neckline, while her 'In Time' star fiance looks dapper in a black tuxedo at this year's Costume Institute Gala.
Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake have just made their first appearance at the Costume Institute Gala as an engaged couple. The former "7th Heaven" beauty and her "SexyBack" singer fiance happily posed for the press together when arriving at the red carpet outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on Monday, May 7.
Showing off a simple yet stunning style, 30-year-old Biel rocked an ivory double stretch satin deep-V gown with cascading jade green stones by Prada that she paired with Lorraine Schwartz jewelry. Her 31-year-old fiancee, in the meantime, looked dapper in a black Tom Ford tuxedo with a satin shawl lapel, evening shirt, satin bowtie, cufflinks and leather "Chelsea" boots.
This is not the first time Biel and Timberlake came to the MET Ball as a couple though. The twosome had attended the benefit event together twice before, in 2009 and 2010. This year, they came to help celebrate the opening of the "Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations" exhibition.
Biel and Timberlake also weren't the only famous couple putting a united front at the event. Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard, Claire Danes and Hugh Dancy, Amy Poehler and Will Arnett, as well as supermodel Gisele Bundchen and her NFL star husband Tom Brady also walked arm-in-arm on the red carpet on Monday evening.
Bell and Shepard were clad in Tommy Hilfiger with Bell wearing an orange crinkle silk chiffon gown with crisscross halter neckline and Shepard rocking a black peak lapel two button tuxedo. Danes, in the meantime, opted to go with a white wrap-style J.Mendel dress, while her husband was decked in Prada's navy kid mohair one-button tuxedo with faille silk shawl collar.
Poehler herself went with a Fotini dress, Jimmy Choo shoes, and Tiffany & Co jewels, while Bundchen looked stunning in a Givenchy dress and shoes that she paired with David Yurman jewelry. The supermodel's husband, Brady, slipped on a Tom Ford tuxedo and set his hair in a semi-faux hawk.

Almost a year ago to the day, the European Central Bank averted financial disaster in the eurozone by offering banks an unlimited injection of cheap three-year cash. Hundreds of banks participated in the ECB's loan programme and by March about €1tn had been pumped into the banking system via two tranches of the ECB's longer-term refinancing operations.
The LTRO sugar hit was deemed a success, avoiding a liquidity squeeze, temporarily lifting markets and encouraging a flurry of bond issuance in January and February. But as eurozone worries resurfaced, it was Mario Draghi's pledge in July to do "whatever it takes" to save the euro followed by the ECB's September offer to buy up the debt of ailing governments via so-called outright monetary transactions that changed the tone of markets.

RIP Society: Mom Dressed 4-Year-Old In A Hooters Outfit For Beauty Pageant
The world of child beauty pageants is like its very own "Twilight Zone" where normal rules of society need not apply. How else to explain the British mom who dressed her four-year-old up in a Hooters uniform? Hooters Toddler appeared in a British documentary "Blinging Up Baby" about the strange world of children's glam, like getting pedicures, spray tans and hair extentions while still in preschool. Enter Liane Dix, whose daughter Scarlett competes in "U.S. style" child beauty pageants and appears in the doc wearing a tiny Hooters tee shirt and orange short-shorts. According to the UK's Channel 5 web site, this is all (surprise) the mother's handiwork. "She would probably be a tomboy if I let her," Liane is quoted as saying. "I suppose that's what I'm influencing onto them, that they don't do everything wrong that I did when growing up." I'm just gonna leave that last quote right there for y'all to think about.

Six key questions before picking an agent
Published: Aug 12, 2013
If you are planning to sell your home, condo or parcel of land, there are some very important questions you should ask your real estate agent before you make a decision to hire him/her to market and sell your property. This may be one of the most important transactions you will ever make in your life, and you want to make sure the sales process is left in very capable hands.
1. The first question you should ask your prospective agent: Are you a member of the Bahamas Real Estate Association and is your license current?
The Bahamas Real Estate Association requires high standards from its members and provides yearly marketing seminars as it encourages agents to continuously further their careers.
2. Are you a member of the Multiple Listing Service or MLS?
This service is available to all BREA agents and is a very important marketing tool. An agent who is a member of the MLS will be able to give your property maximum exposure by sharing the listing information amongst the 200-plus agents who are currently members of the Bahamas MLS. Giving access to the information on your property to as many agents as possible can be key to a quick sale.
3. Are you a full-time or part-time agent?
This is an important question. Make sure your agent is a full-time real estate agent with current knowledge of today's market. You don't want an inexperienced part-time agent to be in charge of your money and future.
4. Do you work on holidays, afternoons and weekends?
If the answer to this question is no, you need to keep looking for another real estate agent to represent you. The real estate profession is a 24/7 job and not a Monday through Friday, 9 to 5 job.
5. Will you show my house to, and share your commission with, other real estate agents?
If your agent is not willing to share the listing information with other agents because of his/her unwillingness to share the commission, which is generally a 50-50 split, you shouldn't walk but run away from placing your property in the hands of such a person. An agent who is unwilling to share his commission is looking after his own pocket and not your best interest.
6. Are you familiar with my neighborhood and has your company sold any properties in the area?
Knowledge is power. An agent who has done business in the area may know clients they met showing previous listings, and these clients may still be waiting for a suitable home in your area. Agents usually build a database of prospective buyers from previous listings and these buyers are usually looking to purchase in a particular neighborhood and they should be the first ones to be contacted as soon as your property hits the market.
Be sure to ask the right questions before you commit to listing your property with an agent; by doing so you will avoid potential problems, headaches or misunderstandings.

Bears' epic 66-game winning streak buoyed all of Clairton
From the City of Prayer, there came an answer: The Clairton Bears, the WPIAL's most dominant team in decades and a welcome distraction for a depressed steel town and a distressed school district.
During a 66-game stretch that ranked as the nation's longest high school football winning streak and broke Pennsylvania state records for consecutive victories, Clairton captured the fascination of fans everywhere.
With every win, every WPIAL and PIAA Class A title accumulated along the way, the Bears brought back pride, prominence and promise of better days ahead. For the tiny town of Clairton, every Friday night was a celebration — not just of the players, but everyone in black and orange: from the band and cheerleaders who marched up Miller Avenue to Neil C. Brown Stadium to the pee-wee players dreaming of being Bears one day.
The streak started in September 2009 and would last four years and nine days. During that span, Clairton won four district and four state titles, broke Braddock's 51-year-old WPIAL record and Central Bucks West's 12-year-old state mark for consecutive victories.
Then, last Friday, the streak ended at the hands of the same school against which it began. Monessen's Greyhounds took a 14-0 halftime lead and a 28-point advantage in the fourth quarter. It was a role reversal for Clairton, long accustomed to overpowering opponents.
Now, it was on the wrong end of a 42-24 final score. The streak was over, and the Bears were left in tears.
"This just goes to show how incredible our streak was," Clairton coach Tom Nola said. "We played bad, and Monessen was great. But I'm proud of what we did and of what the team accomplished."

On his new album, The One, Eric Benet shows he's still committed to the classic R&B and soul music we've come to celebrate him for. Out tomorrow, The One — Benet's seventh album — is filled with firsts: he's releasing it independently on his Jordan House record label, and it's his first since becoming a dad to four-month-old daughter Lucia Bella. Lucky for Benet the album has already produced two hits for him - "Real Love" and "Harriett Jones" have been steady climbers on the R&B charts.
A master collaborator (remember "Spend My Life" with Tamia?), Benet has teamed up with the likes of Lil Wayne, Shaggy and 21-year-old daughter India Benet for The One. And the best part, he's written a sweet lullaby for baby girl Lucia called "Here in My Arms."

A spicy send up of reality TV's "real housewives"!

BASINGSTOKE golfer Stuart Archibald finished in a tie for 25th in his latest EuroPro Tour event, the FSC Invitational at The Astbury.
The 29-year-old travelled to Astbury Hall, in Shropshire, for the tournament and three solid rounds saw him finish on one-under-par, six shots behind the winner.
Archibald got off to a great start and was at -4 after 11 holes. Bogeys at 12 and 15 set him back, but a birdie at the penultimate hole saw him card a three-under-par opening round of 67.
He also made a good start on day two and was two-under-par at the turn, but two bogeys on the back nine meant he had to settle for a level-par round of 70, leaving him with too much ground to make up on the final day.
However, he finished the event on a high, making an eagle three at the par-five 17th to card a closing round of 69 (-1) and finish 25th.
Archibald is currently in action at the HotelPlanner.com Championship, which got under way at Cumberwell Park, in Wiltshire, yesterday.
Then, on Monday, he travels to The Buckinghamshire looking to make it through the first round of qualifying for this year's Open Championship.

Print Ariat International has been providing boots since 1993. Co-founders Beth Cross and Pam Parker both realized in 1990, that many traditional English and Western riding boots were not suitable for equestrian riding. With their expertise and with a footwear background, they realized there was a need for improved riding boots for men, women and kids. Using their knowledge in athletic footwear, they began making performance enhancing changes to their riding boots, giving these athletes an edge. Ariat Boots quickly became known as the most innovative and performance riding boots. They provide the same technology in men's riding boots, women's riding boots and kids riding boots. They totally redesigned the traditional outsole, arch support and last shape and took Ariat Boots to the next level in riding boot technology. While building the technology into these western riding boots, Ariat had hundreds of top riders help design and develop their final product. Today Ariat is the world leader in performance equestrian footwear as well as offering the most stylish western boots on the market. Ariat Boots offers a wide range of products from English and Western riding boots, work boots and casual boots.

Clicking with Africa's Moose
'An antelope in ox's clothing' is how Richard D Estes describes the eland. This is Africa's moose, the world's largest antelope.
Weighing between 400kg and 1 000kg, it is something of an anomaly. An animal so big would need plenty of water and high quality pasture, wouldn't it? In fact, no. If there's no water, eland don't stress. They just do without.
They can survive on low quality pasture or browse and convert a startling amount of it into bulk, which is why they attracted attention as potential farm animals.
A famous project in Russia was started in the 1930s and showed that eland can be tamed, corralled and even milked. The only problem is that they can clear a 3m high enclosure wall from a standing start. Not a problem you'd have with cows, as a rule. Or bontebok (see previous post).
They also needs far more rangeland most people have available on a farm.
There are more depictions of eland in ancient cave art than any other animal. They had a spiritual status far above any other animal for the San (Bushmen).
As they walk, you'll hear a clear clicking sound which can carry over a kilometre away on a quiet night. No scientists has yet deemed it a worthy subject of study, so we're still mystified. Is it their knee joints? Is it their hooves that move apart and then together as they pick them up? At any rate I've heard it said that the many clicks in the San language began as a kind of tribute to their sacred animal.
I'd love to know if that were true.

CHICAGO (Jun. 1)
More than 800 Jewish social workers, center workers and educators from some 300 communities gathered here today for the 53rd national conference of Jewish Communal Service. The sessions will be held through June 5th.
The conference theme, set by President Martin M. Cohn, who is also executive director of the Jewish Federation of Minneapolis, is to determine "how the American Jewish Community can fulfill its heavy responsibilities of world leadership and the provision of financial support for communal services abroad, throughout the nation, and in local communities. Strong local community organization, based on strong local community and welfare services is the key to this conference and to the problem itself," Mr. Cohn stated. "In common with all social work, Jewish communal services require the development of highly competent, professional personnel and the strengthening of local services based on a farsighted appraisal of human needs."
Concurrent annual meetings of the National Council for Jewish Education and of the National Association of Jewish Center Workers are also being held at the conference.

Nanoslits measure refractive indices
Researchers at Northwestern University in Illinois have discovered that 2D arrays of nanoslits can behave as quasi-1D arrays under certain conditions. The result could be important for determining the refractive index of certain materials and allow improved sensitivity for monitoring protein-ligand binding.
Nanoscale metallic gratings are important in optical phenomena such as enhanced optical transmission (EOT), light beaming and negative refraction. Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) – quasiparticles that arise from the interaction of light with a metal's conduction electrons – play a major role in these processes. SPPs are part light and part electron wave and possess new properties not seen in either photons or excitons. They are alternatives to planar waveguides and photonic crystal structures for strongly guiding and manipulating light.
Teri Odom and colleagues have now shown that the spectral features of quasi-1D arrays (made from patterned gold films perforated with 2D rows of finite-length slits) can be characterized by high-order, 1D SPP modes. The researchers have also found that the multiple modes of these 1D arrays can be used as simple refractometers to determine the refractive index of unknown materials. This is possible thanks to the fact that surface plasmons are sensitive to changes in the surrounding dielectric environment.
"What we did was to calibrate the refractive index sensitivity of the nanoslit arrays," Odom told nanotechweb.org. "Once we performed this calibration, we could then use the arrays to determine the refractive index of non-absorbing materials."
To show that their technique worked, the Northwestern researchers measured the refractive indices of different concentrations of common salt (NaCl) and found values that were in good agreement with reference values. They obtained their results by angle-resolved optical transmission measurements.
The study shows that nanoslit arrays can offer improved sensitivity for monitoring protein-ligand binding events, explains Odom. This is because the nanofabricated substrates exhibit multiple, narrow plasmon modes that have two advantages. The first is that they respond well to a range of targets, such as proteins, and the second is that systematic errors are low compared with conventional, single-mode surface plasmon resonance substrates. What's more, the large-area substrates are able to detect several species at once so can potentially analyse a high throughput of proteins.
Odom and co-workers are now carrying out real-time, ligand-protein sensing experiments. "We would like to determine how these new nanofabricated gold surfaces compete with traditional sensing measurements, such as prism-based, SPR measurements," said Odom. "We are also looking at how to improve sensitivities by changing the nanostructured pattern and by employing other materials in the plasmonic substrates."
The work was published in Nano Lett.

ORLANDO, Fla. - With jury selection scheduled to get underway in George Zimmerman's second-degree murder trial in less than two weeks, prosecutors and defense attorneys will be in court Tuesday morning as the judge considers more than a dozen motions.
[VIEW BELOW: Tony Pipitone live-tweets from inside courtroom]
Zimmerman will be asking the judge to postpone the trial for an unspecified period, claiming his attorneys need more time to research one of the state's witnesses.
Dr. Alan Reich, a speech identification expert, believes screams heard on a 911 call are not Zimmerman shouting, "Help," but rather Trayvon Martin yelling, "Stop." The defense will argue they must investigate the legitimacy of Reich's claims, as well as his abilities and background experience.
In order to limit pretrial publicity about the case, prosecutors will also ask the judge to impose a gag order on all attorneys and witnesses. Two previous gag order requests have been denied.
Zimmerman's attorney believe a better way to find a fair jury will be to sequester all 500 prospective jurors. If the judge approves, the final six jurors and alternates will remain sequestered throughout the trial, which the defense believes will last four to six weeks.20082730
In addition, the defense will ask the judge to allow jurors to visit The Retreat at Twin Lakes subdivision in Sanford, where Zimmerman shot and killed Martin. Zimmerman's lawyers believe the field trip is necessary to give jurors a geographical understanding of where witnesses saw and heard certain evidence.
During Tuesday's hearing, prosecutors are expected to ask the judge to bar jurors from hearing certain information about Martin's background, including school records, text messages suggesting he was a fighter, and toxicology results indicating the teen had smoked marijuana before his death.
The state argues such details are irrelevant to the case, but defense lawyers believe that information shows Martin's state of mind the night they claim the teen ambushed Zimmerman, prompting the neighborhood watchman to shoot in self-defense.
Prosecutors do not want jurors to hear certain information about Zimmerman. They will ask the judge to prohibit any mention of Zimmerman passing a "Computerized Voice Stress Analysis" test.
The state also does not want the defense to ask police officers or other witnesses their opinion of whether or not Zimmerman should have been arrested after the shooting.
Zimmerman has pleaded not guilty.

Sat 5 Dec 2009 in Nettelkofen:
South east of Pötting, close to rotten logs, not far from a deer paddock.
After buying a Christmas tree, my daughter and I decided to go for this close by Hash point. We parked our car in Nettelkofen and took the path towards west. The walking distance was about 1,5km, which is a perfect distance for a Saturday afternoon. Whilst making our way toward the HP, we passed a huge green Timberjack harvester, unfortunately not in use today. I would have loved to see one of these monsters in action. The HP is about 50m off the forest path, and accidentally exactly where a pile of rotten logs is. About 100m further towards Pötting, we found a deer paddock with quite a lot deer in it. A nice extra for me and my daughter! We enjoyed our walk very much - Thanx XKCD for taking us out. Reached around 13:50

The Dragon's Pike
Melanie Berg's new pattern Drachenfels is stylish and well written. And it has me fairly snookered.
It's Sunday afternoon and I have just finished re-doing the same 6 rows that I knit on Saturday morning - for the umpteenth time. It's like a brain test and I'm not passing.
I think that it's because of the counting. I'm the person who knits without looking. I must slow down.
The pattern is entirely garter stitch and is knit on the bias, increasing and decreasing at the beginning and/or the end of certain rows. I keep knitting past the place where I'm supposed to decrease.
I hope to spend less time in the frog pond and finish this week. Almost every row you see here has been knit over at least one extra time. It will be lovely to wear it.

Well, a Crescent
I wasn't thinking straight when I said half circle. This is a crescent shaped shawlette. And now I don't like the name Berry Swirl any more either. But don't you just love that moment when you unwrap the lace from its towel and stretch it out? Always so magical. . .
Saturday, August 9, 2014
Berry Swirl
I keep seeing patterns for half moon shaped shawls. Typically, they have a lace edging and a garter stitch half moon centre, often shaped by short rows. Arroyo, and Crescent Hearts Shawlette are two free patterns that come to mind. Not sure how to insert links using this Blogger app, but you can look them up on Ravelry.
Why not pick a favorite lace stitch for the edge, knit a swatch with the yarn of your choice in order to calculate how many stitches to cast on and GO!?
I am doing just that. I am using a couple of yarns from Periwinkle Sheep here. After switching, I decided to cast on 325 stitches. I'm hoping my shawl will be about 60 inches wide.
I am knitting 3 pattern repeats of a stitch from Sharon Miller's book, Heirloom Knitting. It's called Madeira Cascade and it was the centre stitch in my Seven Seas shawl that I entered in the Finger Lakes Fiber Festival contest last year. I'm just finishing up the lace part and I'm about to start the garter short rows. I took it in the car to Fairhaven Park today and got on well with it.
I hear that Karin of Periwinkle Sheep that she will be in town this Tuesday (8/12)! She will be a the Knitting Circle from 6-8 and will bring some of her yarn for sale. If you are nearby,Tina invites us all to come and see what she has available! Competition for our yarn dollars indeed, what with the sale at Village Yarns that is going on now.
Summer is flying by! I had my first swim of the season today. And my first one in Lake Ontario in about 50 years! Eek! It was heavenly even though they had bouys up (sp?), and you couldn't go out past waist level without the life guard tooting her whistle. Where are the good swimming holes in Western New York?

Hitofude: completed
I'll try to get a better shot soon, but this will have to do for now. It was vain of me to take my glasses off, but I was following the photographers instructions.
Friday, August 1, 2014
Hitofude: Almost dry
Here it is, almost dry! Tomorrow morning I'll sew in the ends and wear it to the Artisan Market at the Knitting Circle, 11-4.
In the end I did 13 reacts of the chevron pattern after the waistband. And I never used the widest pattern repeat. I was afraid that I'd end up with too much fabric hanging around my hips. Instead, I worked in some extra of the narrowest repeats right after the waistband. I think it will bel just right.
In any case, there are many options for shaping and sizing in this pattern. There are almost as many suggestions as there are Ravelry projects for this pattern.
Saturday, July 19, 2014
Hitofude: how long?
The Hitofude has a set combination of lace pattern repeats after the waistband that create a widening "skirt." Ravellers report increasing the length using various combinations of these repeats. At this point I have completed 8: 5 chevrons of pattern A and 3 of pattern B. This is already 2 more than the pattern calls for. I'm aiming at a length of 18 inches from the underarm. I think that if I just follow the pattern as it's written from now on, I'll end up with 14 altogether. That should do it. In any case, it's easy enough to add an extra repeat at the bottom if I feel I need it.
Thank you, Mary Lou for the encouragement. You know, now that I can see the end, I must say this pattern would be a good one for a rising intermediate lace knitter. It's not hard at all, the instructions are well written, and there is no sewing involved. I highly recommend it.

Six more shamed care home staff have been sacked after last night's Panorama programme.
The programme, Behind Closed Doors: Elderly Care Exposed, was broadcast last night and revealed a catalogue of poor care and mistreatment at The Old Deanery Care Home in Bocking.
In one clip, a careworker was seen slapping resident Joan Maddison, who suffers from dementia and is partially paralysed following a stroke.
Anglia Retirement Homes, which runs the 93-bed care home, sacked the care worker responsible for slapping Mrs Maddison before the programme was aired, while seven others were suspended.
Six of those have now also been dismissed, while the case involving the other is being "urgently reviewed".
A spokesman said: "We have this morning contacted the police after the BBC's Panorama's programme exposed inappropriate behaviour by some members of staff at the Old Deanery Care Home.
"We apologise unreservedly for those failings.
"The new management team at the home have been working with the Essex constabulary since Panorama first contacted us about their allegations in February, when we immediately suspended eight staff pending a full inquiry.
"We have repeatedly asked Panorama for their filmed evidence so we could take the appropriate action, but they refused to show their undercover footage to us before broadcast.
"Having seen the programme and their evidence for the first time on Wednesday night, we have today summarily dismissed six more staff and a further case is being urgently reviewed.
"The care worker responsible for slapping a resident had been summarily dismissed earlier in the week after an independent investigation secured a statement from an eye witness.
"We care passionately about our residents and will not tolerate this kind of behaviour.
"These incidents involved a small number of staff and are not reflective of the high standards of care which we expect and demand from all of our team.
"As soon as the new management team was made aware of the allegations we took immediate action. We hired an independent law firm to carry out a full investigation as a matter of urgency.
"All procedures, services and staffing levels at the home are being reviewed.
"Our priority remains the health and wellbeing of our residents and we have more than 200 dedicated members of staff who remain committed to the highest standards of care."

Frattalone's Ace Hardware is asking the city of Andover for permission to keep displaying landscaping and gardening materials in an area of a parking lot like it has for the last decade.
Frattalone's Ace Hardware is located in the Downtown Center shopping area on the northeast corner of Bunker Lake and Round Lake boulevards. Andover Community Development Director David Carlberg said the business was able to add a garden center in the spring of 2002 because of a special use permit granted to the whole shopping center in 1988.
However, Carlberg said the site plan approval approved in 2002 did not allow any retail goods or landscaping materials to be stored outside the fenced garden center. The pallets now being stored on the north side of the store also must be moved inside the fenced area.
Mike Frattalone, business owner, requested a text amendment to the city code that would allow outdoor display, storage and sales in any shopping center-zoned districts in the city during all hours of the day. This text amendment would, therefore, affect the entire Downtown Center as well as Clocktower Commons and Hanson Commons on the east side of Hanson Boulevard and north of Crosstown Boulevard.
The city code currently only allows goods to be outdoors in the shopping center districts during operational hours if a conditional use permit is obtained. Business owners in the general business and industrial zoning districts can obtain conditional use permits to store their goods outside 24/7, so the change Frattalone is proposing would allow overnight storage.
"If the code is not changed, Frattalone's will experience an extreme drop in sales and our customers from the Andover area will be forced to shop inconveniently," Frattalone wrote in a letter to the city. "This is a major issue for us and we know that we had the city's permission to sell and overnight store our goods outside since the day we opened."
If a text amendment is approved, Carlberg said Frattalone and anyone else requesting outdoor display, storage or sales would need a conditional use permit, which requires a public hearing.
Carlberg said he informed Frattalone that there may be some other steps he needs to take if he is granted a conditional use permit such as screening his dumpsters.
"There's no guarantees if he gets the text amendment that he can do what he's doing today," Carlberg said.
A text amendment to the city code also requires a public hearing at an Andover Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. This will take place Feb. 12. The council will consider this matter at its Feb. 19 meeting.
The council discussed the proposed text amendment late Tuesday evening (Jan. 22) at a workshop meeting.
According to Carlberg, if Frattalone was allowed to keep displaying and storing material in the parking lot, then he would have to go through a "proof of parking" study.
Councilmember Julie Trude believes there should be enough parking spaces. She was not a fan of the outdoor storage though.
"I thought it was just a temporary staging area," she said.
Councilmember Sheri Bukkila likes having the equipment for rent displayed outside. She said that has drawn her into the store.
Carlberg said Frattalone likes the setup of having the materials outside because customers can drive up to the garden center with their vehicles and load their purchased goods.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 30/4/2014 (1211 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Winnipeg Football Club will have to wait a few more weeks to learn whether city hall will provide it with a subsidy for Transit services for events at the IGF stadium.
The deal that has been six months in the making did not make it onto the agenda of today's council meeting, as the team had hoped.
But Mayor Sam Katz said it will likely be debated at the May meeting.
Katz said he recognizes the community will be divided over the issue.
"It's between a rock and a hard place," Katz told reporters following this morning's council meeting.
Bombers CEO Wade Miller said today he was disappointed the deal wasn't brought to council today, adding it's urgent the transit matter be resolved as soon as possible.
As first reported by the Free Press, the Bombers and the city have a tentative agreement to substantially reduce the cost for additional Transit services for events – CFL games, concerts and other events – at the stadium.
Rather than paying full charter rates, as was charged to the team in 2013, the city agreed to reduce the fee by over 40 per cent for this year and next.
That will leave the city with a shortfall of $750,000 this year and an estimated $950,000 for 2015.
Miller told the Free Press that it cost the team $1.226 million in 2013 for Transit services, an amount far more than it expected to pay.
Miller said the team isn't prepared to pay that amount going forward – either the city lowers the rate or the team would find alternative transportation for its fans.
Katz said the deal wasn't brought to council this morning because the city is still waiting for additional information from the football team and for written confirmation from the provincial government that it will share the cost of the shortfall.
Premier Greg Selinger said today the province looks favourably on a deal that would see it join the city in subsidizing transit bus charters to transport fans to and from Blue Bomber games.
However, the premier stopped short of committing the province to picking up part of the tab until city council passes a motion formalizing its own commitment to the subsidy.
"We're a partner with the City of Winnipeg in providing public transit. We think it's an important resource to allow people to move in this city," Selinger said today.
"So we'll be certainly interested to see what the decision of city council is when they finally bring this recommendation all the way through their process."
Selinger said the provincial government is "very open" to such an arrangement.
"We want to see city council bring it through as a resolution and pass it. We deal with final decisions of city council. We think it's a good idea," he said today.
Asked if the province wasn't leery about offering another subsidy to the Bombers, Selinger said he regarded the proposed deal as a transit issue.
"This is a transit story right now. It's about moving people in Winnipeg to a major venue at a time when there's a lot of traffic congestion in that corridor," he said.

HIV and AIDS
What Impact Does AIDS Have On Children?
I was wondering what the impact of AIDS on young children was. How it affects them psychologically (emotionally, socially, and intellectually). Thank you.
Like any chronic illness, HIV infection has a tremendous impact on every aspect of the lives of children. Their growth is often shortened. They may have involvement with HIV in the brain leading to poor school performance. Side effects of medications and the illness may affect their stamina and ability to participate in sports and other school activities. The impact of being faced with an ultimately fatal disease is very hard for anyone including a child. Finally, many children with HIV are excluded by others from participation in the normal activities of life.

REHOVOT (Jul. 11)
Two Weizmann Institute researchers, Prof. Michael Sela, head of the Institute's Chemical Immunology Department, and Prof. David Givol of the same department, have received over $300,000 in grants from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases of the U.S. National Institutes of Health for studies on various aspects of immunology.
Prof. Sela, with co-investigators Dr. Sara Fuchs and Edna Mozes, received a five-year grant of $227,500 in order to elucidate the mechanism which determines the genetic control of the immune response, and also delve into the phenomenon of autoimmunity. They will be using for this purpose simple synthetic antigens developed in Prof. Sela's laboratory.
Prof. Givol, who received a three-year grant of $80,000, will be focussing on the structure of the antibody combining site, the place where the antibody and its mortal enemy, the antigen, come together. Prof. Givol has already been able to isolate that small fragment of the molecule which contains the combining site, and has demonstrated the possibility of specific labelling of that site.
These studies of immunological problems involving both antigens and antibodies, will, it is hoped contribute to a better understanding of the immune response. This in turn may hold the key to controlling many diseases and facilitating transplants.

"This was yummy!!! I used lite cream cheese, Splenda, fat-free milk, lite whipped topping, store bought angel food cake, and lite pie filling. It still tasted just as sweet as if I had used the fattening stuff. I made this when my boyfriend was over, and he absolutely loved it, and he's picky about his sweets. I'll make it on a regular basis. This one is definitely a keeper."

AS part of Ilkley Summer Festival's month-long line-up of events, La Casita will be showcasing a live paella cooking demonstration this Sunday, 24 August, from 16.00 to 18.00, at the town's bandstand.
Head chef and proprietor, Simon Miller, will be taking to the marquee stage to create a seafood, chicken and pork paella from start to finish. Simon will be talking through the cooking process, giving tips on the best vegetables, herbs & spices, meat cuts and seafood to use. Cooked and served from the bar's traditional paella pan, the theatre-filled demonstration will be open to the public and free to attend.
Audience participation will be rewarded with free tasting dishes of the finished paella as well as other highlights from the tapas bar's menu. Festival goers will have the opportunity to pair Spanish wines with a smorgasbord of La Casita's favourite charcuterie, chorizo and cheese.
Simon commented: "We recently invested in a large traditional paella pan for the bar so when we signed up to be involved in the Ilkley Summer Festival, we figured this would be a fun way to showcase the paella-making process and give people the chance to put the dish through its paces.
"We're looking forward to welcoming everyone to the live demonstration on Sunday and we hope the event and, more importantly, the food will be a great way for people to sample our passion for authentic Spanish cooking."
Paella Sundays
La Casita hopes that Sunday's paella showcase will be the warm up to its new weekly paella fiesta. Every Sunday, the tapas bar, which is located on the mezzanine level of Ilkley's Victorian Arcade, will host 'Paella Sundays' from 16.30 to 20.00. In addition to the usual tapas menu, customers will also be able to try a different paella each week, all freshly prepared by Simon, and available as individual portions or as large dishes for groups to share.

TaskPower's main window presents a clean, simple interface with no menu and just five labeled buttonsRefresh, About, Config, Help, and Exitbelow the title bar. Under the buttons is a tabbed display that lets you choose to view Applications, Tasks, Services, or Drivers loaded in memory. The type of information shown in the viewing pane beneath the tabs depends on the tab selected. An information bar at the bottom of the window shows the total count for each of the four process types.
You can launch TaskPower from the shortcut the installation wizard adds to your Start menu (under Programs).

Deutsche Bank is encouraged by September quarter results from uranium miner
Adjusted net loss after tax of $US10 million was in line with Deutsche Bank estimates, as was the company's cash balance of $US158 million.
Both of the company's main projects, Kayelekera and Langer Heinrich mines, are operating at about 90 per cent capacity, though higher sales volumes "were predominantly balanced" by lower achieved prices.
The broker expects Paladin to turn cash-flow positive in the second half of the 2012 financial year, and has increased its earnings per share forecasts by 29.6 per cent to US3¢ per share for the full year.
Deutsche has a "buy" rating on the stock.

Well you just did!Who said I'm proud of it anyway? It's a joke – treat it as one.What I can't understand about a lot of people is that they're fine, or at least don't complain, when humans suffer or have the piss taken out of them (please see hundreds of t-shirts and artwork on this site) but when it comes to an animal they get all high and mighty.

The Scots sailor was only called up to the event after injury to the original skipper of the boat.
The latest win puts him in contention for a podium finish in the 35,000-mile race which ends in Liverpool in July.
"We're very relieved to have crossed the line in first place," said Mr Gillespie.
"It has been a physically hard race for us all and the crew have learned and experienced conditions I don't think many will want to see again.
"We persevered throughout and I'm really pleased for the crew that we have won this different but very tough leg."
The overall standings are being led by South African boat Durban 2010 and Beyond with the Scottish boat Glasgow: Scotland with Style in a close second.

Kelly Clarkson Gets In on the Hot Taylor Swift Grammys Flap Action
Kelly Clarkson, voicing a strong opinion on the topic of the day? Yeah, we're pretty shocked too, but that's just what she did on her Web site this morning.
As you might recall from way back in, oh, about three hours ago, Taylor Swift's label boss, Big Machine Records president Scott Borchetta, has leaped to the defense of his mega-selling artist, after some critics dared suggest that her duet with Stevie Nicks at this year's Grammy Awards might have been something less than a golden-throated bouquet of perfect harmony.
In his effort to shoo away the critics, Borchetta sought to distinguish Swift's brand of artistry from that practiced on a certain wildly popular televised singing competition, noting:
"This is not American Idol. This is not a competition of getting up and seeing who can sing the highest note. This is about a true artist and writer and communicator. It's not about that technically perfect performance."
And that just didn't sit too well with Clarkson—who, as you might recall, launched her singing career by winning the first season of American Idol. Taking to her keyboard with, presumably, clenched teeth and a cartoon storm cloud over her head, Clarkson banged out an entry entitled "Wow …..Dear Scott Borchetta," which we're reproducing in full below. We suggest printing it out and taping it to your computer, so you can reference it the next time you need to write a devastatingly angry screed to someone:
"I understand defending your artist obviously because I have done the same in the past for artists I like, including Taylor, so you might see why its upsetting to read you attacking American Idol for producing simply vocalists that hit 'the high notes'. Thank you for that 'Captain Obvious' sense of humor because you know what, we not only hit the high notes, you forgot to mention we generally hit the 'right' notes as well. Every artist has a bad performance or two and that is understandable, but throwing blame will not make the situation at hand any better. I have been criticized left and right for having shaky performances before (and they were shaky) and what my manager or label executives say to me and the public is 'I'll kick butt next time' or 'every performance isn't going to be perfect' ……I bring this up because you should take a lesson from these people and instead of lashing out at other artists (that in your 'humble' opinion lack true artistry), you should simply take a breath and realize that sometimes things won't go according to plan or work out and that's okay.
One of those contestants from American Idol who only made it because of her high notes ;)"
Wow; dissed and dismissed! In your face, Scott Borchetta!
Kelly Clarkson's voice might be best-known for its ability to hit the high notes, but obviously it's pretty good at getting down and dirty too.

The film feature will be an adaptation of Robert Graves' 1935 historical novel about the the Roman Empire as told through the eyes of its Emperor, Claudius.
It's good to hear something new about what Scott Rudin is up to now as the renowned producer has long been known to be the name behind a number of remarkable, worth-watching cinematic pieces.
The latest one coming from the trades is that the New Yorker will develop a historical film feature titled "I, Claudius" based on Robert Graves' tome following his acquisition on the screen rights to the novel for $2 million. It is expected that "The Departed" tandem of Leonardo DiCaprio and screenwriter William Monahan will become part of the project.
Story, as presented in the original, tells about the the Roman Empire through the eyes of Claudius, starting with the rise of Augustus Caesar to emperor in 24 B.C. and ending with the crowning of Nero in 54 A.D. It also deals with all the attendant backstabbing, violence, and debauchery that was part and parcel of the Roman ruling class.
In working on the movie, Rudin has been confirmed to produce alongside Alison Owen, whom he teams up with in producing "The Other Boleyn Girl", which Columbia Pictures will launch on February 29, 2008. Though no major studio attached yet for the flick at this time being, it is speculated that the man is likely to bring it to Disney, where he has an overall deal, and probably will set it up under either Miramax Films or Touchstone Pictures banner.

iStreamJobs Service Launches to Help Users Keep Up with the Latest 10,000 Jobs(June 15, 2014)
Sterling, VA, June 15, 2014 --(PR.com)-- The founders of iStreamJobs know it is hard to keep up with the newest employment opportunities out there. Jobseekers catch fleeting glimpses of the latest email or RSS feed with a few jobs listed out, but there is just not enough time to sit down and read through them.
Now, iStreamJobs has taken that burden off of Jobseekers' backs. They are pleased to announce the release of its job summaries audio streaming and playlist service. Jobseekers can only dream of subscribing to a playlist that aggregates the kinds of jobs you are looking for in your region. Now, the dream has become a reality. This remarkable service is now available at iStreamJobs via a free audio streaming app on iOS and Android platform.
Under development for the last year, iStreamJobs is a start-up in Sterling, Virginia and has created an app that streams audio summaries of job opportunities across the US. Working directly with hiring managers and recruiters, iStreamJobs edits a company's existing vacancy announcements down into short summaries of key information. A dedicated group of tech specialists then record these summaries as audio files with live human voices and organize them into regional streaming radio stations and downloadable playlists. If user wants more information, the iStreamJobs intuitive application sends the full details of the jobs to read and to listen.
iStreamJobs is a tremendous bargain for companies. As the latest recruiting research shows that companies get most of their new hires from referrals and their own company job webpage, it is very difficult for jobseekers to obtain a universal forum in which all of their preferred jobs are listed. iStreamJobs provides a novel method for accomplishing this. Its connections to social media enable jobseekers to share vacancy summaries or link directly to a company's jobs page. Jobseekers also benefit, with the ability to build custom playlists.
iStreamJobs CEO Suresh Chari is pleased with the company's performance. He states, "Our technical teams, editorial staff, and voice talent have really worked hard to get us ready for this launch. We are eager to see how the service helps people. In fact, our initial focus is on regions with high unemployment. We have a duty to help get people back to work."
iStreamJobs has plans to open in other countries. For now, it is focused on ensuring its service works well across Android and iOS in the United States and keeping the job summaries fresh. For more information on iStreamJobs contact email@example.com or visit www.istreamjobs.com.

YOUNG people at St James' CE High School marked World Autism Day by finding out more about the condition through a week-long series of activities.
The Farnworth school's learning support department staged different events to raise awareness of the condition and inform pupils and staff on matters that surround those with autism spectrum disorder.
The school's award-winning business Vend-A-Spend supplied ribbons and badges with some wearing a badge with the words "I know someone with autism and I am proud".
Other activities including the department opening the sensory experience rooms to demonstrate one of the difficulties people with autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) face every day.
Hypersensitivity and hyposensitivity are terms used to describe how heightened or weak the sense might be for someone with ASD which can cause increased anxiety, stress and frustration; this can impact on learning, friendships and confidence.
The week ended with afternoon tea which gave staff and pupils the opportunity to meet the staff in leaning support, ask questions about autism and celebrate the week of activities.
Ian Singleton, the school's head of learning support, said: "We believe that all pupils, whatever their additional needs, should be given the opportunity to participate in the whole of school life.
"Sometimes this is difficult due to a number of factors or difficulties such as autism.
"It is therefore important for all pupils to be taught that pupils with autism have specific needs and difficulties and to understand what they can do to help them."

Swank's character of a young doctor feels insecure after she moves into an apartment, suspecting that she is not alone in her home.
"The Resident" which becomes Hilary Swank's latest starring vehicle has been previewed in a promo trailer. The trailer actually has come out few months ago in bootleg version but the high resolution one has just been found and still gives preview to how a young woman who lives alone in her apartment feels threatened by someone unknown.
After separating from her husband, pretty young doctor Juliet Dermer moves into a stunning and spacious loft apartment in Brooklyn that seems too good to be true. And then mysterious occurrences lead her to suspect that she is not alone in her home and quickly her fears become all too real.
In a chilling revelation, she discovers that her seemingly charming, young landlord, Max, has developed a dangerous obsession with her. A terrifying game of cat and mouse ensues as Juliet fights to free herself from Max's sinister intentions.
Hilary Swank is cast as Juliet Dermer while Jeffrey Dean Morgan portrays the landlord. Antti Jokinen serves as helmer for the drama thriller which is written by Jokinen along with Erin Cressida Wilson and Robert Orr. No release date is set for the movie since it has not found a studio which will distribute it in the U.S.

On the integral of the squared periodogram
Let X1,X2,...,Xn be a sample from a stationary Gaussian time series and let I(·) be the sample periodogram. Some researchers have either proved heuristically or claimed that under general conditions, the asymptotic behaviour of is equivalent to that of the discrete version of the integral given by , where [lambda]i are the Fourier frequencies and [phi] and [eta] are suitable possibly non-linear functions. In this paper, we prove that this asymptotic equivalence is not true when [phi] is a non-linear function. We derive the exact finite sample variance of when {Xt} is Gaussian white noise and show that it is asymptotically different from that of . The asymptotic distribution of is also obtained in this case. The result is then extended to obtain the limiting distribution of when {Xt}is a stationary Gaussian series with spectral density f(·). From these results, the limiting distribution of the integral version of a goodness-of-fit statistic proposed in the literature is obtained.
