Linda Fairstein's newest novel, ENTOMBED, is a chilling tale whose inspiration comes straight out of the works of Edgar Allan Poe. In her Acknowledgement at the end of the novel she says, "My first encounter with … Poe's TALES OF THE GROTESQUE AND ARABESQUE made an indelible impression on my adolescent imagination. A dead man's heart beating beneath the floorboards, the huge pendulum descending on a prisoner in the pit, the Red Death invading the festive masquerade, and the repeated torment of premature burial and entombment behind cellar walls --- each of these narratives was responsible for youthful nightmares, and all of them lured me back … to delight in their dramatic power. My greatest pleasure in plotting this book was the opportunity it provided to reread all of Poe's writings." This experience provided the architecture around which Fairstein framed the best novel she has written to date. She expands the universe that her ensemble characters inhabit and spins a creepy tale worthy of the master of the macabre.
Alexandra Cooper, the bold ADA who runs the sex crimes unit of the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, was on her way to meet friends at a seminar hosted by NYU Law School. As she approached the entrance a guard redirected her to another location. She arrived at a brownstone that had been purchased by the university and was "being torn down [to be replaced by] an enormous new structure. The dean had a construction crew in the basement, using crowbars to break down pieces of the wall … as part of the show for the evening's alumni dedication ceremony for the new school building."
When Alex and her friends stepped down to the site they were greeted with "the shrill screech of a woman." They "walked toward the [center] of the commotion" and when Alex moved close enough to see what was happening she was shocked to be looking at "perfectly smooth ivory-colored bones [that] framed in the empty orbital sockets that met [her] horrified stare. [Alex] was face to face with a human skull, buried behind the ancient wall." This woman had been buried alive, in the tradition of some of the characters in Poe's most horrific tales.
Ironically, Edgar Allan Poe and his young wife had lived in this house for some time, thus sending the tabloids into a frenzy with sensational stories about the "bones in the basement." But forensic anthropologist Andy Dorfman finds a bag of poison that was packaged 1978, which means the body can't be older than that. "Dorfman was a perfectionist, a brilliant detail man who … had been a leader in this specialty long before recent television shows and popular media made his work seem chic. These bones are gonna talk to Andy. They're gonna tell him everything," said Mike Chapman, one of the two detectives who worked closely with Alex Cooper.
The forensic anthropologist's job is to examine the skeleton and help to identify her, which hopefully will allow the NYPD to find her killer. He observes that she was at one time a well-taken-care-of female who, based on the condition of her upper teeth, became a drug user, an alcoholic or both. Investigators are put to work sifting through files of women who went missing about the time of this grisly murder.
While all of this is going on, a young exchange student, Anika Jenkl, is raped and almost killed. Her attacker appeared out of nowhere when she returned home not far from where Alex Cooper is staring at a skeleton. The MO fits that of a serial rapist who vanished four years ago, and Alex is convinced he has resurfaced. When he first started terrorizing Manhattan the papers nicknamed him "The Silk Stocking Rapist," but he was never caught. The statute of limitations in New York is only five years to prosecution for rape, and time is running out for his early victims. Alex decides to take out a "John Doe" warrant based on the DNA found at the attack scenes and on his victims.
Walker Mercer is one of the only "first-grade" detectives in the NYPD, and one of the few African Americans to hold that distinction. He left his position to work more closely with Alex because he preferred to be with the victims, whose recovery from their trauma could be aided by a relationship with a compassionate investigator. He was helping Anika Jenkl as part of the task force tracking down the rapist.
After the reportage of the rape, another woman is victimized but this time she is brutally murdered. This is not the MO of the Silk Stocking Rapist. Is a copycat now operating in the high rent districts of New York City? Since nobody on the team believes in coincidence the other compelling question is: Could this woman be connected in any way to the skeleton in the brownstone? After all, they would both be the same age and were found within the same geographic boundaries.
The cases offer clues, which take Alex and her colleagues, Mercer and Chapman, to the former NYU Bronx campus. There is a small park within the fantastic Botanical Gardens where another "Poe Cottage" still stands. This place was his "last real residence" and a group called "The Raven Society" appropriated it and now calls it home.
The fearsome threesome learns that "the society was formed a century ago to honor Edgar Poe on the fiftieth anniversary of his death. It was conceived as a secret society, membership by invitation only --- just a scholarly tribute to the great poet. It was limited to five members" but in its present incarnation boasts twenty-five. Over the course of their sleuthing, Alex and the boys discover that if Poe had not been a creative genius he easily could have become a serial killer. And rumor has it that in order to be a member of this strange club you have to have killed someone.
Of course the two cases unfold at their own pace, blending clues and red herrings that are adeptly handled by the team. Fairstein's fans come to her books knowing they will find a taut tale of chaos that is tamed by her familiar characters. The regulars further evolve into more fully rounded personalities, which gives readers more insight into their personal lives. Every one of Fairstein's books builds on the last thus demanding that she always be true to her heroes. Her plots and style capture her audience. She is a writer of enviable talent and seamlessly weaves her tales of contemporary crimes with local lore and historical landmarks. For Poe fans and those familiar with the Bronx ENTOMBED is a keeper, rife with nostalgia of another time in New York City.

Leyton Orient defender Ben Chorley has no regrets over his time at Arsenal.
O's ace Chorley never made a senior appearance because he had the misfortune of being behind Keown, Sol Campbell, Matthew Upson and Pascal Cygan in the pecking order.
He said: "I could hardly bang on Arsene's door and ask him to put me in ahead of Keown and Campbell, who at the time were England's centre-half pairing.
"I bumped into my old mate Graham Stack, who is keeper at Hibs and was a year above me at Arsenal, and he said he still prepares for every match like he did when he was with the Gunners.
"Arsenal aren't used to playing League One sides and that's why you sometimes see Cup upsets. Although we are a passing side, we're under no illusions that taking them on at their own game will only lead to failure."

Rider Will Host Third Annual Marvin W. Goldstein Lecture on Prejudice Reduction
Dr. Samuel Gaertner, Ph.D., University of Delaware, to speak on Prejudice Among the Well Intentioned.
Rider University will host the third annual Marvin W. Goldstein Lecture on Prejudice Reduction on Wednesday, October 28, at 7 p.m. in the Bart Luedeke Center Theater on its Lawrenceville campus. All are invited to this free event.
The Marvin W. Goldstein Endowed Lecture Series on Prejudice Reduction brings researchers and professors from the field of psychology to Rider each fall to discuss issues related to prejudice; cultural, racial and gender bias; and the divides created by these phenomena. The series honors the 38-year career of Marvin W. Goldstein, Ph.D., a member of the Rider University Department of Psychology and the co-director of The Julius and Dorothy Koppelman Holocaust and Genocide Resource Center at Rider.
This year's lecture will feature Samuel Gaertner, Ph.D., a professor of Psychology at the University of Delaware, who will speak on Prejudice Among the Well Intentioned.
The Department of Psychology is proud to offer the Goldstein Lecture on Prejudice and Prejudice Reduction every fall," said Dr. Anne Law, chair of the department. "This year's lecture by Dr. Sam Gaertner will illustrate how our actions and beliefs are not always consistent. We will learn more about the processes that influence our thinking about others and our thinking about ourselves. I would encourage everyone to attend this important lecture."
The Goldstein Lecture Series aims to kill prejudice at its root: in the minds of us all. Biases can arise in even the most ordinary settings, and Gaertner has researched people who often express their racial attitudes in subtle, indirect and 'rationalizable' ways that preclude them from recognizing their racial biases. He is attempting to learn if such subtle forms of racism can be eliminated by inducing an enhanced sense of partnership or common in-group identity.
Gaertner is interested in intergroup relations and, in particular, how prejudice, discrimination and intergroup relations can be reduced. He is the recipient of the 1986 and 1998 Gordon Allport Intergroup Relations Prize (along with John Dovidio of the University of Connecticut) awarded by the Society of the Psychological Study of Social Issues.
In 2004, Gaertner was also awarded the Kurt Lewin Memorial Award, along with Dovidio, by the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues, presented annually for "outstanding contributions to the development and integration of psychological research and social action."
Law said that, in addition to the public lecture, her department has also planned a series of events that involve Psychology students.
"Our first-year majors will view the film Crash prior to the lecture, and in the week following, they will all participate in small group discussions that integrate the film and lecture," Law explained. "The discussions will be moderated by faculty and student members of Psi Chi, the National Honor Society in Psychology.
"Through these activities we'd like to inspire our students to use their education to seek solutions to important social problems," she continued. "We hope that they will come to see that research in psychology offers the promise of improved understanding of themselves and others, and that complex social issues can be understood rationally."

Information Revelation, Liquidity Shocks, the Volatility and the Level of Bond Spreads
Liquidity is often cited as an important component of asset prices, particularly for sovereign bonds. Relative to canonical explanations (asymmetric information, thin markets), this paper presents a different source of liquidity risk: in a Diamond-Dybvig type model, where agents face a liquidity shock (becoming "more risk-averse" early consumers), the speed of public information revelation about default risk influences bond spreads. Under reasonable parameter values, accelerated information revelation may increase spreads by 50%. Depending on parameters, revealing information may increase or decrease not only the welfare of the issuer (the issue price), but also the expected utility of investors.

David O. Russell's Silver Linings Playbook has earned some tremendous pre-release praise as international film festivals, and there are many film nerds who are looking forward to seeing the Matthew Quick adaptation on the big screen for themselves. For everyone that fits that description and lives in or near a major city, I have some very good news.
Box Office Mojo has gotten word that Silver Linings Playbook has been moved up in 10 major markets and instead of being released on November 21st it will instead be in theaters November 16th. The Playlist says that the cities that will be getting the movie early include New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Boston, Washington D.C., Miami, San Diego and Austin. Both release dates are pretty perilous, with Ang Lee's Life of Pi, Red Dawn and the animated Rise of the Guardians going at Thanksgiving and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2, a nationwide expansion of Steven Spielberg's Lincoln, and Joe Wright's Anna Karenina playing next weekend, but it could be great counter-programming for those older audiences who don't care for sparkly vampires. Also, considering the movie is being distributed by The Weinstein Company the change could very well be some kind of Oscar strategy.
Silver Linings Playbook tells the story of Pat Solitano (Bradley Cooper), a man who has been in a mental institution for a few years following a nervous breakdown. Once released he tries to get his wife back, and in the process attracts the attention of a similarly mentally-affected young woman (Jennifer Lawrence). The cast also includes Robert De Niro, Jacki Weaver, Chris Tucker, and Julia Stiles. For more about the movie, head over to our Blend Film Database.

Synopsis :
The remote Scientific Linux host is missing one or more security
Description :
* A flaw was found in the way the get_rx_bufs() function in the
vhost_net implementation in the Linux kernel handled error conditions
reported by the vhost_get_vq_desc() function. A privileged guest user
could use this flaw to crash the host. (CVE-2014-0055, Important)
* A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel processed an
authenticated COOKIE_ECHO chunk during the initialization of an SCTP
connection. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the system
by initiating a specially crafted SCTP handshake in order to trigger a
NULL pointer dereference on the system. (CVE-2014-0101, Important)
* A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's CIFS implementation
handled uncached write operations with specially crafted iovec
structures. An unprivileged local user with access to a CIFS share
could use this flaw to crash the system, leak kernel memory, or,
potentially, escalate their privileges on the system. Note: the
default cache settings for CIFS mounts on Scientific Linux 6 prohibit
a successful exploitation of this issue. (CVE-2014-0069, Moderate)
* A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel's
cdc- wdm driver, used for USB CDC WCM device management. An attacker
with physical access to a system could use this flaw to cause a denial
of service or, potentially, escalate their privileges. (CVE-2013-1860,

Seton Hall pitcher Lopez taken by Reds
Seton Hall right-handed pitcher Jose Lopez could wind up being a steal for the Reds. Because he did not pitch in 2014 after he had Tommy John surgery on his elbow, Lopez's Draft stock dropped.
As the Reds continued a trend of accumulating college pitching talent Friday, the organization used its sixth-round pick (185th overall) to take the 20-year-old Lopez.
"He would have been a high Draft pick," Reds senior director of amateur scouting Chris Buckley said. "He's already well into his rehab. We're taking a little risk but he wants to come out."
In 2013, Lopez had a 3-3 record and 3.40 ERA in 20 games, including five starts. He had 42 strikeouts and 18 walks over 47 2/3 innings while opponents batted a team-best .180 against him.
"He was 94-97 [mph] with a hard slider," Buckley said. "He got hurt at the end of the fall and tried to rehab it and then had the surgery."
This isn't the first time that the Reds have landed a pitcher from Seton Hall. Reliever Nick Christiani, who was a 13th-round pick in 2009, made his big league debut last season and was on the Opening Day roster this season.
The Draft concludes Saturday, with exclusive coverage of Rounds 11-40 beginning on MLB.com at 1 p.m. ET.

Minnesotans are waking up to another day of cold weather, though that polar vortex we've been hearing so much about -- and stuck in the middle of -- is expected to ease a bit today. In the Twin Cities, temperatures are forecast to top out at minus 1 degree, before climbing back into the single digits above zero on Wednesday.
• Coldest day in 10 years but records stand
• In Embarrass, record lows bring bragging rights
• St. Paul, Minneapolis, Anoka-Hennepin schools shut Tuesday
• Looking our for Bones in St. Paul
Still, even if you're not into pond hockey, hotdish, or the State Fair, you could have staked a claim on a piece of Minnesota culture if you stepped outside on a morning with double-digit, sub-zero air temperatures and wind chill readings.
Not that many did.
Even in the winter, the Minneapolis Chain of Lakes trails draw plenty of cyclists and joggers. But except for a few cars plying the icy road, Lake Harriet in south Minneapolis was as quiet as a lake deep in the north woods on Monday.
Patrick O'Brien, 48, of south Minneapolis, pulled a Spiderman outfit over his winter running gear as he made his way around the lake. And the solitude was just fine with runner Danielle Ingram.
"If it's going to be this cold, I got to get something out of it. I don't think it makes a lot of sense," she said. "I don't recommend it. Partially it's bragging rights."
Just down the trail, riding a mountain bike with knobby tires, Parker Roenfanz said, "I'm just heading into the office." The cold weather didn't keep him from his daily 8-mile, two-wheel commute from Lake Nokomis to St. Louis Park.
"You can't ride every day of the year if you don't ride today. That's my go-to attitude. A few buddies of mine went out for a ride last night and grabbed a few beers and decided last night that it wasn't too bad," he said.
If a quiet bike ride around a frozen lake isn't your thing, there's always indoor dodgeball on a trampoline. With schools and parks closed, dozens of kids and their parents descended on Sky Zone in Plymouth. Children and some adults bounced around on wall-to-wall trampolines.
Among them, 9-year-old Truman Fillbrandt and his sister Claire, 7.
"I did the foam pit a few times, but mostly I stayed on the main court," Truman said.
"I mostly jumped. I jumped once in the foam pit," his sister added.
Their father, Steve Fillbrandt, hit the trampolines too, and says it was a good way to beat cabin fever: "I figured we could all use a little exercise. Get out and get our wiggles out."
While some used the cold weather as an excuse to do something fun and different, for others, sub-zero temperatures made a difficult situation even worse.
Gerry Lauer, director of the Dorothy Day Center, a homeless shelter in St. Paul run by Catholic Charities, says because the cold snap happened at the beginning of the month -- when many people receive public assistance and retirement checks -- the shelter wasn't as busy as it might have been. Still, Lauer says all the time indoors is taking its toll on people.
"Part of what helps you through the day sometimes is that movement, the fresh air. Getting outside, doing what you need to do,"he said of the people who use the shelter. "With this cold weather, it's a very tough situation. And by the end of a three- or four-day stint, it really makes it tough for folks to keep it together."
Frostbite and hypothermia have been troublesome too. At Regions Hospital in St. Paul, spokeswoman Kristen Kaufmann says the emergency room and burn center have seen eight cases of hypothermia and 14 frostbite cases. Kaufmann says all eight of the intensive care beds in Regions' burn center are occupied by patients suffering frostbite injuries.
"While the number of frostbite patients may seem pretty low given the extreme cold, a lot of the cases we have been seeing are severe enough to require inpatient treatment. In fact one of our physicians said we've received a record breaking number of extreme frostbite cases coming in to Regions. It's the most he's ever seen," Kaufman said.
The Salvation Army's Harbor Light Center in downtown Minneapolis is also packed with people seeking refuge from the extreme cold.
Spokeswoman Annette Bauer calls it "crazy busy" with over 600 people compared with a capacity around 450. When the shelter runs out of beds it sets up cots. When it runs out of cots, people sleep in chairs.
Bauer says Salvation Army shelters in Mankato and St. Cloud are also full.
Meanwhile, the state Department of Health learned a hard lesson about the expansive properties of frozen water. The agency says it's suspending testing in its infectious disease and environmental labs after a building heating system quit, and some pipes froze and leaked. The damage is estimated at $1 million.
"We ended up with water coming from down to the first floor, some equipment was damaged, as you can imagine some office space, cubicles, carpeting was also damaged," said MDH spokesman Doug Schultz.
Newborn screening that's normally conducted at the facility will be sent to outside contractors for testing.
Agency officials plan to meet today to decide when the lab will reopen and whether they'll need to call on neighboring states to help with testing
While it's still going to be cold Tuesday, temperatures are slowly creeping back up. And in a sign that things are getting back to normal, the Minneapolis park board says all indoor and outoor programs will resume at noon today.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

* Speculation Kuroda-led BOJ will step up buying in 20- and 30-year bonds
* Investors sceptical Kuroda can boost inflation to 2 pct in 2 yrs
* 30-year yield down 9.0 basis points, biggest daily fall since mid-2010
* Japanese investors buying ahead of March 31 book-closing
* JGB futures hit record high, 5-year yield at record low
By Hideyuki Sano
TOKYO, March 4 (Reuters) - Japanese government bonds surged on Monday, with yields on long maturities posting their biggest fall in two and a half years, on speculation the Bank of Japan will step up buying of long- dated bonds under a new governor.
Sharp gains in longest maturities came even as Haruhiko Kuroda, Bank of Japan Governor nominee, vowed to end Japan's deflation and lift inflation to two percent in about two years, reflecting investors' doubts monetary policy can deliver the magic number.
"Of course buying 10-year bonds yielding just 0.6 percent makes no sense at all if inflation is to rise indeed to two percent in two years," said a trader at a major Japanese brokerage.
"To me, the market seems a bit overheated now. But you can't go short in this market," he added.
The 30-year bond yield fell 9.0 basis points -- its biggest daily fall since mid-2010 -- to 1.675 percent, its lowest level since August 2010.
The decline came even after its 14.5 basis point fall last week, its biggest weekly decline since December 2008.
The 20-year yield fell 8.0 basis points to 1.490 percent , breaking below its 2010 trough of 1.510 percent to hit its lowest level since August 2003.
"Speculation is rising that, under Kuroda, the BOJ will buy more in 20- and 30-year bonds. If that happens, maybe the 20-year yield could fall to around 1.2 percent," said a trader at a Japanese bank.
Unlike the Federal Reserve, which buys a large amount of long-dated government debt, the BOJ's bond buying has long been centred on short maturities. It fears that having a large amount in long-dated bonds on its balance sheet will jeopardize its policy flexibility in the future.
The central bank currently plans to buy a total of 41.6 trillion yen in bonds this year -- 20.0 trillion yen in an asset purchase programme and 21.6 trillion yen as a part of money market operations.
Of the total buying, however, only 1.2 trillion yen is in maturities between 10 and 30 years, about three percent of its total bond buying.
In his confirmation hearing in parliament on Monday, BOJ nominee governor Kuroda said bank was not buying the right volume or type of assets, although he did not specifically mention buying in super-long bonds.
While many Japanese investors are sceptical of Kuroda's pledge to boost inflation, their latest foray into longest maturities also reflected the need to put their portfolio in order by March 31, the end of financial year, traders noted.
Some of them had been underweight on superlongs maturities precisely for fear that Prime Minister's Shinzo Abe's loose monetary policy plan might spark future inflation.
"Right now, all they care is how they look like this financial year. They don't care about inflation that may or may not happen in two years," said the Japanese brokerage trader, adding the market could change its course after the turn of new financial year.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year JGB fell 5.5 basis points to 0.600 percent, its lowest level in nearly 10 years, even ahead of Tuesday's 10-year JGB auction. The Ministry of Finance plans to sell 2.4 trillion yen ($25.7 billion) of 10-year JGBs.
The price of 10-year JGB futures, which reflects the cheapest-to-deliver seven-year sector, rose 0.27 point to 145.32 , an all-time high.
The five-year yield dipped 2.0 basis point to 0.095 percent , a record low.
Painfully low yields on shorter maturities, a result of Abe's campaign for aggressive easing, is another reason forcing investors to buy buying longer-dated bonds to earn income.
"There's no point buying five-year bonds. So by default, they are buying long-dated bonds even though that isn't a healthy investment strategy," said Tohru Yamamoto, chief bond strategist at Daiwa Securities.
In addition to domestic factors, JGBs also had tailwinds from concerns about global economy, stemming from U.S. spending cuts and from Italy's political crisis that threatens euro zone stability.

[UCF-WAKE FOREST] A cracking goal from Rachel Nuzzolese off a nifty combination with Soccer America Preseason
All-American Katie Stengel gave No. 23 Wake Forest a 1-0 win at No. 21 UCF and complete a successive road trip to open the 2011 season.
On Friday, the Demon Deacons won, 4-1, at SEC contender Auburn, getting two goals and an assist from Stengel.
Nuzzolese's blast came in the 60th minute. The Demon Deacon defense did the rest, holding the Golden Knights to only two shots in the second half. Aubrey Bledsoe made four first-half saves to earn her first shutout of the season and the fourth of her career.
Wake Forest's back line of Jackie Logue, Caralee Keppler, Alisha Woodson and Kim Marshall kept UCF star Tishia Jewell out of dangerous positions throughout the match.
"We've been preparing and practicing for (these first two games) so to get two wins out of it was just a phenomenal result that we wanted," said Nuzzolese. "It felt to great score and it was phenomenal assist from Katie."

Kauai emergency crews and concerned family members have been searching the island for a missing traveler from California.
Nola Rebecca "Becky" Thompson of Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif., was last seen Thursday, the day before she was due to fly home after a weeklong visit.
Thompson's mother, Pearl Thompson, said her 45-year-old daughter's silver Chrysler convertible rental car was never returned and her possessions were still in her hotel room.
Karen Wenzel, the missing girl's cousin, said Thompson had been planning to come to Kauai with a longtime boyfriend but decided to come alone after recently ending the relationship.
Pearl Thompson, who is from Sun City West, Ariz., flew to Kauai on Sunday with Becky Thompson's aunt to join the search. They've been driving around the island looking for her and asking residents for information.
A helicopter also conducted an aerial search Sunday and Monday morning, according to Inter-Island Helicopters pilot Ken D'Attilio.
Thompson's brother and sister-in-law - Scott and Liz Thompson - are putting together a reward for information on her whereabouts.
"We're trying to find her, and time has been of the essence," Liz Thompson told The Garden Island newspaper. "We want closure."
Thompson is 5-feet-3-inches tall and weighs about 160 pounds. She has shoulder-length blonde hair and a fair complexion. Pearl Thompson said her daughter has "striking blue eyes."
She was last seen wearing a fuchsia shirt and a black baseball cap with her hair pulled back in a pony tail.

Can Anyone Stop the Green Bay Packers Offense?August 22, 2010
The first team offense has scored on all four possesions with ease so far half way through the preseason.
Aaron Rodgers has completed 20 of 24 passes so far and JerMichael Finley and Greg Jennings look uncoverable.
They've been doing all of this without Donald Driver, as well. When you consider that they also have James Jones, Jordy Nelson, Donald Lee, and Spencer Havner in the receiving corps, it starts to get scary.
The running game has been solid, but Ryan Grant has seen very limited carries. Brandon Jackson has played very well behind him.
The offensive line gave up 51 sacks last year and has yet to give up a sack with Rodgers under center in the preseason. They look much better then they have in the past, and a starting line of Clifton, Bulaga, Wells, Sitton, and Tauscher sounds pretty good.
If they can keep this up, the Packers should easily break the franchise record for points in a season, which they set last year.
I'm looking forward to seeing what they can do against the Colts in week three!

Suicide prevention program 'saving rural lives'
A home-grown suicide prevention program is successfully raising awareness in rural Australia, which still has higher levels of suicide than other parts of the country.
Community Response to Eliminating Suicide, known as CORES, was developed by members of a small community in Tasmania 12 years ago.
CORES leaders are training hundreds of medical students and community members in the basics of suicide prevention.
The program is operating in 24 communities, including Hay in New South Wales. The town lost six people to suicide in 20 months, including a community leader and a teenage girl.
CORES executive officer Coralanne Walker says Hay has become a role model for others.
"A lot of people still won't even say the word or talk about suicide," she said.
"So when you get a community like Hay that has suffered so much, but they are embracing the problem and they know there is a need to make sure that as many people as possible are trained, it's really, really humbling."
'Prevent a funeral'
Peter Dwyer, one of the founders of the local suicide prevention group, called a public meeting to get the problem out in the open.
Fifty locals have already completed the CORES training. Another 50 will go through in November.
Mr Dwyer says one day can save a life.
"One day out of your life may save the life of someone one day," he said.
"We can always take time out to go to their funeral. Why can't we take a day off work and do some training that may prevent that funeral from happening?"
Often there is no doctor on duty on weekends in Hay, so people admitted to hospital are taken 160 kilometres to Griffith to receive treatment.
Mr Dwyer says the residents of the town realised they had to take action because of the isolation and the lack of services.
"The town [needs] to grab it by the scruff of the neck and start helping themselves because they have got to be able to reach into every social group, they've got to be able to reach into every sporting organisation," he said.
Always a risk
Despite the progress, the people of Hay know another suicide could occur at any time. It is a case of being vigilant and caring.
Mr Dwyer's best mate was one of the victims. It was a big loss for the community and a reminder of the dangers.
"That was pretty tough, not only on myself and his family, but also the rest of the community," Mr Dwyer said.
"He was a very loved man and that hit us pretty hard. We are probably still getting over that."
As part of the program, locals are trained and some go on to become trainers, helping others.
Resources company BHP is sponsoring the introduction of the program in Cloncurry and Julia Creek, in Queensland, to take care of rural and mining workers and their families.
"The workers who are out in those areas are often overworked, and having people within the community who can pick things up a lot earlier is also going to make their jobs easier," Ms Walker said.
Ms Walker says it has also become part of the curriculum for medicine at the University of Tasmania.
"It's the first time that I'm aware of that it's happened in Australia," she told PM.
"From our humble beginnings in Sheffield, to be recognised on a professional level through the university, it's fantastic."
If you or someone you know is thinking about suicide, call Lifeline on 131114.

Carl Adams: System Of Attack (DVD)
Carl Adams: System Of Attack (DVD)
$ 19.98
$ 40.00
with Carl Adams,
Boston University Head Coach;
4X Conference Coach of the Year;
2X NCAA Champion wrestler at Iowa State University
For over 40 years Carl Adams has found success on the mat - both as a wrestler and as a coach. His success has stemmed from one principle: Having a system of attack. In this clinic demonstration, Coach Adams shares the "secrets" of his system of attack. Adams begins with the fundamentals, stance, movement and penetration. For Adams, success is dependent on a proper penetration step. A good penetration step gets your wrestler to the takedown angle quicker, which puts them in better position to finish the takedown. Along with the penetration step, Adams hits on two other vital concepts that will lead to success: Close the gap and condition and timing. The system Adams describes is simple - develop two takedowns with set-ups for each. This gives you four "bread-and-butter" takedowns any wrestler can use!

"When you do things on the internet, the internet doesn't forget," TheNextWeb's West Coast Editor, Drew Olanoff, tells "The Hollywood Reporter." "So, when you tweet something, especially when you have as many followers as he does, it's going to get captured."
It wasn't the first time, or even the second time, Kutcher had been blasted for a misguided tweet. But, it was certainly the one that took him out of the game.
"He misspoke, OK, fine, he's human," Olanoff says of how the star handles the volatile situation after the tweet. "The social media mistake was that he deleted the tweet -- then he did apologize, which is great -- then, he erratically wrote that he's not going to tweet for a while until he had a solution. I thought it was a snap reaction to a situation that sucks."
With more than eight million followers, Kutcher was a trailblazer on the social media site, adopting its 140 character-capped method of communication way before many other stars even knew what it was. When he joined the medium, late night comedians still made fun of it for being a worthless source of information saying things like "No one cares what you had for lunch, people."
Now, those same late night hosts have very active Twitter accounts and celebrities are considered out of touch if they're not on the site. And, by the way, food companies and restaurants would pay a good amount of money to be mentioned in a celebrity's "what I had for lunch" tweet today.
But, Kutcher, was not only an early adopter of the site, but he's an investor in businesses in the tech space. If anyone should know how to use Twitter, it should be him. So, what does it mean that he has now turned his Twitter account over for others to manage? And what does that say for celebrities in general on Twitter?
Beck Media and Marketing President, Todd Beck, feels that there is definitely a code of behavior social media users should adhere to. His entertainment and technology PR and marketing firm with offices in Los Angeles and New York City counts several major broadcast and cable networks, studios, production companies, and tech companies among its clientele.
"Celebrities really benefit from showing their true selves on social media," Beck says. "But they need to be aware of the risks, and be prepared to deal with consequences. If they're not informed, they should get informed. If they make a mess, they should do everything they can to clean it up quickly and completely. Those who follow these rules, celebrity or not, tend to be the best and most respected citizens of the social web."
In his mea culpa, Kutcher expresses the belief that the site has changed from what it was when he first joined. No longer does the star believe that it's a place for "healthy debate" in which one can state something and then have the conversation with others shape and/or support the claim.
"It seems that today that twitter has grown into a mass publishing platform, where one's tweets quickly become news that is broadcast around the world and misinformation becomes volatile fodder for critics," Kutcher writes in the statement in which he announces he's giving control of his account over to handlers.
Olanoff, who has been covering social media for eight years, disagrees on Kutcher's assessment of what Twitter has become. "I was really bummed when Ashton said it used to be about personal communication, but now it's a publishing platform," he says. "It's always been both. It depends on how you use it."
So, the question remains. When a famous person like Kutcher, who has been a longtime user of Twitter and even counts himself an expert on the medium, can make such a huge gaffe and then give up control of his account, is that a sign that less knowledgeable celebrity users of the medium should follow suit? THR's experts agree that it doesn't.
"Artists should populate social networks through their own voice," John Scholz of Career Artist Management, which manages bands and recording artists including Maroon 5, Sara Bareilles, and Gavin Degraw, tells "THR."
"Fans are engaged by personality and compelling content which can only be generated by the artists themselves," he says, stressing that this is his personal opinion and not the company he works for. "Social feeds populated by management [or] media teams are transparent and often abandoned, rendering them much less effective."

Ummm...How did I get here?
Well, here it is: My first blog post. Just a short blurb about me.
I have been flying RC off and on (mostly off) since about 1987. I built a Gentle Lady with which I taught myself to fly (pretty incompetently for the most part). I still have her, but suffice it to say, she is probably more CA than balsa by now! It was fun, but I seemed to lose interest for many years after the initial "flush" had worn off. That is, until we had a new neighbor move in down the street a few years back. He had some gliders in his garage, and one day he noticed the dusty old Gentle Lady lofted in my garage rafters. Well, we got to talking, and decided that we should both get our relics airworthy, and chuck 'em off a hill. We had a great time, laughing at each other's antics and generally poor flying, so we started to go flying pretty regularly. That led to some new purchases, including electric-powered planes too, for days when the wind wasn't favorable. My friend and I joined the Silent Electric Silent Fliers San Diego (SEFSD) and I rejoined the Torrey Pines Gulls after several years of hiatus.
Flying the electrics is fun indeed, but I keep finding myself drawn to the sailplanes more. So much so, that lately I have been letting the electrics gather dust, and basically flying sailplanes exclusively. Although, I guess the powered Easy Glider Pro could count on either front.
The last few months I have been looking into and acquiring far more complex planes than I ever flew previously. I had had a couple of 60" mouldies but really hadn't flown big full-house mouldie sailplanes much.
I have been fortunate to meet some really experienced pilots (one in particular) who were willing to take me under wing and take the time to help me advance my skills enough to actually fly the beautiful machines I have been collecting! For that help, I am truly grateful.
I will probably always be a slope rat, but now I have equipment to try several of the disciplined types of competitive flying. It all seems pretty foreign to me, coming from the slope but I am going to try lots of it: F3F, TD, and F3K this year. I have acquired some really nice used planes (far better than my skills will ever be) and a couple of nice kits to build, to test the waters.
I can say, that in the past I have always been somewhat "put-off" by the more formal parts of the hobby and those who are the "know it all, rules-maker types" sometimes found at the club fields but, so far, I haven't seen that behaviour evident. Everybody has been really friendly and helpful.
Will I end up back at the secret slope spots I so enjoy? Or will I get into the more formal competitive flying? Who knows? But I have met some really great guys along the way, learning tons, and I'm having fun so far!
That's all for now.
Booooor-innnnnggggg right? Stream-of-conciousness drivel. Oh well, sosume!
I actually enjoyed reading this. Kinda makes me want to write my own. What I really wish is that, since a teenager and starting in this hobby, I had taken and kept a picture of all the planes that I made, or bought, new or used. Let me tell ya, it would be quite a collection of pictures! lol.
I'm there with you
Been flying since '82. Never really took a hiatus, just cut back a lot because of raising kids. Unfortunately for me, living in Montana does not expose me to anyone in our area that is really very knowledgeable in the Higher end slope ships. I really do desire to move into the realm of carbon fiber and molded planes, I'm not an expert pilot but do consider myself proficient. As far as I know, my two brothers and I are the only 3 guys that fly sailplanes in the valley we live in. Pretty unbelievable considering the population here with all small towns and rural sprawl is close to 100,000+, I've asked the local hobby shop guys if there are any other guys coming in that ask about slope flying or anyone else that flies sailplanes and they say no. Another unfortunate factor is, there are some guys that live about 80 miles from us that fly slope and high end electric. One of those guys is very knowledgeable, but seems to be an elitist, I feel like I'm being talked down to when visiting with him the few times he's come to fly at our slope. As if he doesn't have the time to deal with someone that doesn't have the $$$ to buy the needed materials or components he would suggest. So for now I'll keep flying my balsa planes and
be checking into some used higher performance ships and move on. By the way, I still have my Gentle Lady I built back in '82, flies as well as the day I built it, I take it with me every time I go flying, for those light wind days. Even installed some LED lights for when the wind keeps up after sundown. Good luck with your venture, I hope your competition seeking goes well and you enjoy this new direction the hobby has taken you. my regards Tracy. FF

The numbers inside Danny Maciocia's offensive system don't lie.
After playing a huge role down the stretch in the regular season last year, running back Troy Davis's productivity has been significantly cut to start this year with the Edmonton Eskimos.
Depending on how you slice the numbers, his productivity has dropped by 25-50%.
It's a staggering change from last fall, when Davis averaged 16 carries and 90 yards per game during the final four tilts of the regular season for the Green and Gold.
To no surprise, the Eskimos went 3-1 in that stretch.
But this year, the all-star back is only averaging seven carries through the first two regular-season games and a measly 42 yards per contest.
Granted, he's averaging two more catches per outing this season, but overall he's still touching the ball significantly less compared to his stint with the Green and Gold last year.
However, the three-time all-star is keeping his frustration level under control - at the moment.
"I just let it all build inside of me until I get real pissed off. I am not pissed off right now, so everything is all right," said Davis.
"All running backs want the ball in their hands 20 to 25 times a game.
"I see Charles Roberts get the ball 32 times (in Winnipeg's last game) - and you feel bad (for yourself).
"But I am not mad at anybody as long as we win.
"It's all about winning."
A self-described quiet man, Davis hasn't barged into head coach Danny Maciocia's office begging for the ball more - and it appears he won't have to.
With the Esks carrying a 1-1 record into tomorrow night's pivotal game in Winnipeg, it looks like Davis will be fed a steadier diet of the pigskin.
"I'd like to see him get the ball more," said Maciocia.
"We're going to try to get him a few more carries.
"We want to be balanced (on offence). There is a legitimate argument for it."
Especially against the No. 1-ranked Bomber defence, which leads the league
in sacks.
After the first two games of this year, the Esks are almost solely a passing team - and if that stays the case tomorrow, Winnipeg's feared front four will be able to key on the pass and come full tilt at quarterback Ricky Ray because they won't be concerned about a running game.
So, it comes as no surprise that Ray also wants to get Davis the ball more.
"When you look at yourself offensively, you go: 'Who are our playmakers?' "asked Ray.
"Obviously, Troy is one of our playmakers and I think we definitely need to get him the ball."
Davis has definitely had success against Winnipeg in the last two years, running for 130 yards in one game and 80 yards in another contest.
FINISH LINES: To put Davis's strange start to the season into further perspective, he's the leading receiver on the Eskimos. By averaging two more catches per game compared to last year, he's totalled 13 receptions after two games. That's one more than Jason Tucker and Ed Hervey. Slotback Mookie Mitchell has eight catches after two games.

Early in Shakespeare's The Tempest, there's a longish scene of almost pure exposition as Prospero, a powerful scholar and magician, explains to his daughter Miranda why they are stranded on an enchanted island. Prospero had been the Duke of Milan until his brother stole his dukedom and sent them both out to sea on a rickety craft. By a miracle, they survived and arrived at the island, which they share with Caliban, a half-human creature who supposedly represents the basest and most earthy human instincts, and a creature of pure spirit, Ariel. And now, Prospero tells Miranda, he has called up a storm that will shipwreck his evil brother, his nephew Ferdinand and much of the court so that he can exact his revenge.
It's from this scene that Buntport's Wake: A Corruption of The Tempest by William Shakespeare derives its inspiration. Prospero is long gone here, but because he's so present in the minds of Miranda, Caliban and Ariel, and because the story he told Miranda provides the structure for their lives, he haunts the stage. Except that what he described never happened: no storm, no ship, no prince for Miranda, no revenge, no forgiveness. All the three characters have to give their existence any shape is a cassette tape of Prospero's that tells the ending of the story, but they're forbidden to listen to it. On a set consisting of ramps, white tree branches, an upper room and a grass-topped cage containing Caliban, they wait. This Miranda is no beautiful princess-to-be, but a wild, mucky girl with haystack hair who — as Caliban points out to her — now smells as bad and fishy as people in The Tempest used to say he did.
Miranda's relationship with Caliban is intense. Sometimes they're a pair of children exploring or squabbling; sometimes she bullies him, teases or pulls rank; sometimes she's tender. And as Caliban alternately whimpers, threatens to attack, mocks her or himself, it's clear that he's in love with her. Caliban was always a complex character — Shakespeare gave him some of the loveliest speeches in this play — but in Wake, everyone is trapped inside Prospero's story, and to Prospero, Caliban was nothing but a brute. Meanwhile, ethereal spirit Ariel has become an ambiguous, gray-clad figure, someone Miranda summons with an imperious gesture when she wants something and who — as Prospero's representative — intervenes when chaos threatens.
Wake: A Corruption of the Tempest by William Shakespeare
Presented by Buntport Theater through February 23. 717 Lipan Street, 720-946-1388, www.buntport.com.
Prospero renounces his magic toward the end of The Tempest, breaking his staff and drowning his book. This is a late Shakespeare play, and it's believed that Prospero represents the playwright himself bidding goodbye to his work and the multifarious worlds he created. In Wake, Prospero's exit is less poetic and more despairing. It shatters what might have been a genuine moment of transcendence and jolts the action into fast-forward.
The acting in Wake is absolutely astounding. Erin Rollman gives herself completely to the role of Miranda, and lives it with passion and intelligence. Brian Colonna's Caliban is rich and full — strong, squirming, ironic, childish and evocative. We've all seen many Prosperos: They have power and dignity; they tower over the action; their statements are grave and significant. But in his big gum boots, Erik Edborg's Prospero is unique — loving with Ariel, hectoring Miranda and bullying Caliban — and he delivers the best-known lines in The Tempest in ways you've never heard them before. The Buntporters collaborated with musician Adam Stone on Wake and in addition to creating the island's soundscape, Stone plays Ariel. He's anything but the elfin character we might expect, but there is something ethereal about both Stone's music — unearthly sounds, dissonances, snatches of song, bits of melody — and his quiet, intense presence.

Wake is imagistic, suggestive and evocative rather than logical. Irresistibly reminiscent of Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot, the play is also completely original. It's about the way artists shape reality and narrative shapes worlds. And also about music, waiting, being half-mad with boredom and — in an unexpected moment as brief and radiant as a firefly flickering in the darkness — love. Like Vladimir and Estragon, Miranda, Caliban and Ariel find ways to pass the time — which, as Estragon commented, would have passed anyway. Like Beckett himself, the Buntporters find a music in nothingness and in the search for meaning where meaning can't be found.

Has anyone tried the Omni thread from Superior (for quilting)? I just bought some but curious if anyone else has used it yet and how you like it.?? Its suppose to have very little to no lint?? I havent used mine yet but will tomorrow.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Has anyone tried the Omni thread from Superior (for quilting)? I just bought some but curious if anyone else has used it yet and how you like it.?? Its suppose to have very little to no lint?? I havent used mine yet but will tomorrow.
superior is a good thread company- with very nice threads for quilting- i don't think you will be disappointed
I bought a spool and am using it now. It is a nice thread that is comparable to Permacore. I think the Omni has a bit more sheen to it. I had not planned on trying it just yet, but it came in the color I needed! I'm quilting with it and using it in the top and bobbin.
hi Sue!
Hi there - thanks for the feedback. How have you been?Originally Posted by soccertxi
I'm good...but I'm tired of being HOT! Think I can order a few cooler days??? HA!
I wish you could order cooler weather as well:) the older I get the less tolerable I am of the heat. Stay cool and happy quilting.Originally Posted by soccertxi
So, Im curious what 30% strong means? I am having some breakage issues, but have since got email from Bob advising me to use looser tension and size 16-18 needle. I will try that tonight. I would just like to say I am so impressed by all of your customer service you all provide. THANK YOUOriginally Posted by SuperiorThreads
thank you very much :)Originally Posted by SuperiorThreads

I set my tension to 4, 3, 2 :( any other thoughts??? Thank you.
<--- loves, loves, loves the Omni threads! The Quilted Rose offered a ton of Omni's color choices at this year's Long Beach Quilt Show and I bought enough to last me a few months at least if not more. I use it on both the top and in the bobbin and it took me just a little bit of time to adjust the tension for little or no breaks. I've used it on more than a dozen quilts and it works just fine on my Nolting 24". I started out using a #18 needle without knowing that's what was called for, guess I'll keep doing so. Thanks, Superior, for offering this great thread! :)

Wal-Mart said second-quarter profit increased by the smallest amount in four years and reduced its full-year earnings forecast, blaming...
Wal-Mart said second-quarter profit increased by the smallest amount in four years and reduced its full-year earnings forecast, blaming record gasoline prices for crimping consumer spending. The shares had their biggest decline in more than eight months.
Net income at the world's largest retailer increased 5.8 percent to $2.8 billion, or 67 cents a share, from $2.65 billion, or 62 cents, a year earlier. Total revenue in the quarter ended July 31 climbed 10 percent to $77.52 billion, Wal-Mart said yesterday.
Same-store sales in the U.S. rose 3.5 percent, less than a year ago, hurt by gasoline prices that reached almost $2.33 a gallon in July.
"Wal-Mart definitely sees impact from rising gasoline prices," said Donald Gher, chief investment officer at Bellevue's Coldstream Capital Management, which manages $650 million including shares of Wal-Mart. "It takes away from discretionary income for their consumer."
Shares of Wal-Mart — one of the 30 Dow industrial stocks — fell $1.53, to $47.57 yesterday.Home Depot
New-product sales spark more profit
Home Depot said second-quarter profit climbed 14 percent, beating analysts' estimates, as new products including outdoor furniture and Ryobi power tools boosted sales. The company raised its earnings forecast for the year.
Net income at the world's largest home-improvement retailer jumped to $1.77 billion, or 82 cents a share, from $1.55 billion, or 70 cents, a year earlier. It was the 10th straight quarterly gain for profit. Sales in the period ended July 31 rose 12 percent to $22.3 billion, the company said in a statement.
The company increased its forecast for full-year net income to a range of $2.58 to $2.62 a share from about $2.49 to $2.53. Its forecast for sales growth remains unchanged at 9 percent to 12 percent.
Home Depot's shares have increased 20 percent in the past year, compared with a 32 percent gain for Lowe's. Shares of Home Depot, one of the 30 Dow industrials, fell 94 cents yesterday to $40.67.J.C. Penney
shoppers spur rise
J.C. Penney, the second-largest U.S. department-store company, said second-quarter profit rose to $131 million on strong sales of private-label women's clothing and accessories.
Net income increased from $1 million a year ago. Per-share profit was 50 cents, compared with a loss of 2 cents a year ago, J.C. Penney said today. Sales rose 5.4 percent to $3.98 billion and the company raised its profit forecast for the third time.
Comparable sales at J.C. Penney's department stores rose 4.2 percent and 7.1 percent at the Internet and catalog units.Hewlett-Packard
Tax adjustments cause sharp decline
Hewlett-Packard's fiscal third-quarter earnings beat Wall Street expectations as the personal-computer company's sales improved and its printer business remained strong amid a major corporate restructuring.
But earnings fell sharply due to tax adjustments from the repatriation of $14.5 billion in foreign earnings.
For the three months ended July 31, HP earned $73 million, or 3 cents per share, compared with $586 million, or 19 cents per share, in the same period last year.
Excluding $988 million in adjustments related to the cash repatriation, HP earned $1.06 billion, or 36 cents per share, compared with profit of $728 million, or 24 cents per share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2004.
Analysts were expecting the company to post earnings of 31 cents per share on sales of $20.47 billion, according to a survey by Thomson Financial.

I tried the Bendable Bright Light, but went through two of them in about 6 months. The cords shorted out. I see there's a new one for half the price that's battery powered called Mighty Bright. Has anyone tried this? I've tried an Ott light desk lamp that bends every which way, but it isn't much help and it gets in the way. Thanks!

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 3 (UPI) -- Wayne Brady has left the cast of the Los Angeles engagement of "Chicago," the Los Angeles Times reported Thursday.
The paper said Brady, who was to have played the slick lawyer Billy Flynn, had to bow out because of a strained voice. Brady ended a three-month run in the show on Broadway in December.
An understudy, Lloyd Culbreath, filled in for Brady at a preview Tuesday night. The Times said Gregory Harrison -- who has been playing the role in the national tour for more than a year -- will replace Brady permanently in the L.A. run at the Pantages Theatre.

Did you know the average age of the independent financial advisor is 59? Over 80% of those practice owners don't have a transition plan. With over $2.5 trillion in assets controlled by advisors in their 60's and a lack of industry focus on growing next generation talent, the independent financial services industry is headed towards the perfect storm.
The FindBob platform makes it easy for insurance and financial advisors to to discover opportunities to buy, sell, merge, partner or find a succession partner to maximize the value of your most precious asset: your book of business.

Your clients engaged you for the duration of their lifetime, not the duration of your practice's lifetime. It's our fiduciary obligation and regulators across the globe have begun to take notice.
The international fairness to consumer movement is afoot and the transition rule is on the SEC's regulatory calendar to address sudden disruption risks to clients and the North American Securities Administrators Association, Inc. (NASAA) has already advanced a model rule requiring advisers to adopt written procedures for business continuity and succession planning.
Take the steps today to create a plan that meets regulatory requirements and ensures the continuity of your practice. Your clients deserve it.
A well-designed succession plan is critical to passing your wealth and legacy to the ones you love.

A recent John Hancock survey revealed that 81% of advisors say "the industry doesn't do a good job helping with succession planning". 3/4 of those advisors said they were more apt to joining a broker dealer that had a succession planning platform.Schedule a Demo
"When your clients know you're gone, they're motivated to look for someone else; the advisors in the marketplace know you're gone, and they're motivated to get your client. How long is your client going to stay (with your practice)?"
"It's comforting to have partners who want to align forces with the intention of enhancing each other`s business."
"It is incredible that a company would put such an effort into creating this kind of a platform, it speaks to (FindBob Enterprise Client's) dedication to its Advisors. It makes ultimate sense and is very timely."

Hi Guys,
Someone kindly sent me some LPD8806 strip to create a version of my Digital Light Wand with LCD + SD reader light painting tool.
You can select a bitmap image on the SD card using the LCD display, and then send it to the strip.
I've now added the Gamma Lookup Table that I came across in one of the LPD8806 examples, which seems to do a better job of converting 8bit RGB values to 7bit RGB due to the way our eyes work!
Previously I was just bit shifting, but the Gamma lookup helps produce an image that looks more comparable to the input image.
Learn more about the project, and download the code to build your own here.
These LED strips are fun and glowy. There are 32 RGB LEDs per meter, and you can control each LED individually! Yes, that's right, this is the digitally-addressable type of LED strip. You can set the color of each LED's red, green and blue component with 7-bit PWM precision (so 21-bit color per pixel). The LEDs are controlled by shift-registers that are chained up down the strip so you can shorten or lengthen the strip. Only 2 digital output pins are required to send data down. The PWM is built into each chip so once you set the color you can stop talking to the strip and it will continue to PWM all the LEDs for you.
