Throughout the long, torturous series of rumors about Scream 4 being in development, Courtney Cox and David Arquette have really been the only original cast members who seemed interested in returning, maybe because Cox's post-Friends career has been negligible and Arquette has nothing better to do these days than hang in a box over Madison Square Garden. (I am not making this up. Click the link)
And from the confines of that box, Arquette has confirmed to E! Online that it's true: he and his beloved will indeed be screaming one more time. "We are going to be doing Scream 4. Kevin Williamson is writing the script at this moment, and hopefully Wes Craven is going to direct."
So there you have it-- Gale Weathers and Dewey Riley will be making goo-goo eyes at each other one more time. Will their participation convince Neve Campbell to come back after all? It's not like she's really up to much either-- though at least she hasn't resorted to a plastic box stunt.

[efoods]President Barack Obama returns to Washington next week in search of one thing that can revive his health-care overhaul: a sense of crisis.
Facing polls showing a drop in his approval, diminished support from independents, factions within his Democratic Party and a united Republican opposition, Obama must recapture the sense of urgency that led to passage of the economic rescue package in February, analysts said.
"At the moment, except for the people without insurance, we're not in a health-care crisis," said Stephen Wayne, a professor of government at Georgetown University in Washington. "You do need a crisis to generate movement in Congress and to help build a consensus."

The Hotel Bel-Air, which has served Hollywood stars since the 1940s, is closing for a glamorous makeover.
Hotel spokeswoman Alisha Mahon says the Los Angeles landmark will close at the end of September for a two-year upgrade that includes building villas and spa facilities.
Some 300 employees were notified Friday that they will be laid off. Mahon says they can reapply after the renovation is complete in 2011.
The hotel has accommodated stars ranging from Cary Grant and Marilyn Monroe to Nicole Kidman. It was built in 1946 and underwent a $20-million renovation in 2006.

If I don't get caffeine soon I will shrivel up and d… ooh, Earl Grey. Nice. A blast of bergamot. The bite of a Ceylon. The first cup is nice and harsh just like I need it.

Albeit Dallas' new football stadium is a masterpiece when it comes to sports arenas/stadiums, but Toronto could easily host the All-Star game and use the Rogers Centre dome is size was the factor on why we would never be able to host the event. I think if Stern and the NBA are trying to promote the game world wide, then why not take the opportunity to let Toronto host and show the world that we're no different than then metropolis' of Chicago, New York, Boston, etc.
Source - Click hereSomeone was asking me Sunday night about the feasibility of an all-star game in Toronto.
Simple answer?
Yes, the citys great and has lots of hotel space and convention floor space and clubs and restaurants and thered be every chance itd be warmer there than it was in Dallas.
The issue is the Air Canada Centre.
Its a good building, with good seats for fans in a nice downtown location and most things work well in it.
But its too small. No back-of-house space.
Heck, there arent even enough dressing rooms for the folks who sing and dance, let alone all the stuff they bring with.
Honestly, the scope of this all-star thing is huge; people, props, stuffed animals, more people and props. The Air Canada Centre, for all its charms, simply doesnt have the facilities to handle everything smoothly.
Heck, when the Raptors get into the playoffs, they have to feed the media in a hallway single tables stretched out along a wall because the joint cant handle the extra people.
I cant even guess what itd be like with an all-star game and, if they apply, I bet the league would have some concerns.
Besides, we keep hearing that after Los Angeles next year, the new arena in Orlando might be a host and so, too, might New Orleans be so you could be looking 2014 at the earliest anyway.
Maybe Maple Leaf Sports applies and gets it for a long-off year and, who knows, maybe they do the Saturday at the ACC and the game at the dome but Id be surprised.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - According to the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals' 24th annual State of Logistics Report (sponsored by Penske Logistics) released today, logistics and supply chain managers are continuing to drive inefficiencies out of the business transportation system.
Last year, business logistics costs were once again 8.5 percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the same level they thy hit in 2011, the new report says. That means freight logistics was growing at about the same rate as the GDP.
Cost of the U.S. business logistics system rose 3.4 percent in 2012, according to the report—less than half the increase from 2011 and still short of the peak 2007 level. Business logistics costs were $1.33 trillion, up $43 billion from 2011.
Inventory carrying costs and transportation costs rose "quite modestly" in 2012, said the report's author Rosalyn Wilson in her remarks. Inventory carrying costs rose 4 percent while transportation costs were up only 3 percent, thanks to weak and inconsistent shipping volumes and strong blowback by shippers for carriers to hold rates.
"Logistics costs as a percentage of GDP in the U.S. compares quite favorably to that of our trading partners," Wilson said. "Slow economic growth has kept the percentage low, but the supply chain sector has made great strides in productivity, asset utilization, and inventory management in the past three years."
These supply chain management improvements will continue even as higher volumes return to the market place, Wilson predicted.
In releasing the report at the National Press Club, Wilson noted that slow growth and lackluster job creation has caused the global economy to wallow in mixed levels of recovery.
"This month will mark the fourth year of recovery after the Great Recession, and you're probably thinking that here has not been much to celebrate," said Wilson. "Is it time to ask, 'Is this the new normal?'"
Wilson said that she believes we're experiencing a "new order" that is translating into a new economic paradigm that is strongly affecting the logistics and supply chain sectors.
This "new normal" is characterized by slow growth (GDP growth of between 2.5 and 4 percent), higher unemployment levels (7.5 percent in U.S.), higher reliance on part-time workers, and slower job creation.
For logisticians, this means less predictable and less reliable freight services as volumes rise but capacity does not. In areas such as ocean transport, Wilson said, this can mean slower transit times "I do believe the economy and logistics sector will slowly regain sustainable momentum, but that we'll still experience unevenness in growth rates," Wilson predicted.
For cutting-edge logistics managers, however, the current environment also means great opportunities to secure increasingly tight capacity in an era of shrewd rate bargaining. This is partly because the trucking industry, in particular, is facing a lid on capacity because of higher qualifications for drivers while top carriers are becoming increasingly selective in their choice of customers.
"Truck capacity is still walking a fine line—few shortages, but industry-high utilization rates," Wilson explained. "Qualified truck drivers have become a valuable commodity in very short supply."
Wilson predicts that this shortage will exacerbate as the economy improves even further. She's predicting the current driver shortage of 30,000 will hit 115,000 by 2016. In the ocean and air freight sectors, meanwhile, overcapacity is the issue. Railroads, meanwhile, have more than 20 percent of their freight cars in storage, she said.
The following summarizes the performance of individual freight modes last year:
In summary, 2012 was "certainly not a great year from an economic perspective," Wilson said. While the freight sector continues to improve, prospects for high growth are limited. "Slow growth will be with us for many years," Wilson concluded.

Summary of the episode
Hiten finds a next day's newspaper which says that his wife and daughter are killed. He's shocked and he doesnt know what to do. He picks up the phone to call someone but later decides to go to house instead, where he finds two dead bodies. He suddenly suffers from shortness of breath and wakes up from his dream. Everyone is fine.Later, he finds another newspaper which says that his business partner is dead. Before CID reaches the dead body, hiten is there. And the fingerprints match his. CID suspects him.
- At the very end, its ananya and other guy are responisble for murders.
Detail Update
Hiten is on phone talking about his business stuff in the parking lot. He hangs up the phone and decides to drive. He finds a newspaper on the driver's seat and is shocked to read the news. The newspaper says that Ananya (his wife) and daughter are killed. He's really confused and picks up the phone to call someone but decides to drive home instead. At home, he finds two dead bodies totally burnt One woman's and other one's a little girl. He thinks its wife and daughter. He gets shortness of breath and takes asthma inhaler and faints. He's dreaming the same incident and wakes up and doctor tells him to relax. Suddenly, his wife and daughter run towards him. He's shocked and tells the whole story but his wife is angry after listening to this. He decides to call CID.Back to bureau, Daya is talking about some case and wants to clear his doubt with Abhi. But Abhi says that he is quiet busy. Daya says ok and says that he actually looking for a guy for Dr. Tarika Abhi is shocked and leaves all the stuff he's working on and asks Daya whether Tarika said yes about this or not Just then ACP comes to the bureau and asks Abhi about some cases and Abhi keeps repeating Tarika's name. ACP is angry and recieves a call from Salunke says Tarika. ACP's BP raises even more and tells Salunke that he will call him later.Hiten comes to the bureau and informs everything to CID team. ACP says that he will find if any woman and child are missing. Finally, hiten comes come home and is still tensed. He finds another newspaper which says that Priya( his business partner) is killed. He's shocked and takes his inhaler pump due to shortness of breath. He tells this to his wife who doesnt believe him at all ( Why doesnt he show the newspaper to her?) He leaves from there. Daya receives a call from Ananya ( this guy's wife) and she informs everything.CID rushes to Priya house but she's already dead. And hiten is also there sitting next to Priya's dead body CID suspects him. He informs everything about the newspaper. He also says that he didnt kill her but he just took out the knife ( which was stabbed). Nobody believes him. ACP tells Freddie to check if there's any newspaper which says about Priya's death. Back to forensic lab, where the this guy's fingerprints match with those on knife. Freddie informs ACP that he didnt find any newspaper which states anything about Priya's death. CID starts interrogating him. Daya receives a call from someone and everyone expect ACP and Abhi rush to some farmhouse.Back to farmhouse, where they find a women's dead body and some little girl's with fully burnt ( just like hiten saw when he reached his house). One of the eye witness says that she called them as they saw that the entire farmhouse was burning. Freddie finds asthma inhaler and gives it to Daya. Now, Daya is more conformed that it was hiten who did everything. Just when, they leave the farmhouse, Ananya reaches there. She says that its their farmhouse. Daya says that they have found her husband's inhaler and he's in huge trouble.Back to forensic lab, Dr. Tarika shows that the rod was on the woman's head who was totally burnt in the fire. But the fingerprints do not match with Hiten's. ACP tells Dr. Tarika to match the fingerprints with criminal records but it doesnt match. ACP tells Salunke to reconstruct the faces and paste the picture everywhere so that we'll come to know who this women is. CID again interrogates Hiten who says that he doesnt know anything. Daya shows his inhaler and says that they have found this near the farmhouse. Hiten says that he doesnt know. Ananya is angry with CID as she thinks that they are insulting her husband.Suddenly phone rings, and Vivek anwers it and notes down the name and address. He hangs up the phone and informs to ACP that Nitin identified the woman's face. CID reaches nitin's house and tells everything about the dead body. The woman's dead body happens to be Shruti. Her husband says that Shruti doesnt know anything about the city as she doesnt go outside that much. ACP also tells about nitin's daughter who also died.Daya and Tasha go to one of the eye witness house who stays close to the farmhouse. They show her picture who says that she came along with a kid and some guy. She also says that didnt see the guy but they came in taxi.. metropolitan taxi. Back to some taxi office, where ACP and Daya ask about the person who booked a taxi for that route. It happens to be Shruti. ACP says that he wants to meet the driver but the manager says that he went out to some place. ACP tells manager to inform the driver to meet at the CID bureau.Back to bureau, Vivek brings the driver. Driver tells everything and Tasha tells him to make a sketch of that guy. The guy who was with Shruti happens to be Hiten's driver. Everyone leave for the driver's house but he's already killed. CID doesnt find any clues.Back to bureau, Ananya is told everything about the driver. She's shocked to hear about this. ACP says that her driver took Shruti in a taxi. Ananya says metropolitan taxi. Later,She pleads ACP to not to suspect her husband as he's innocent. And that CID will find something that will prove hiten is not a criminal. ACP says that they wont doubt hiten anymore. Ananya leaves from there. And ACP tells Freddie to follow her. All officers are confused about why ACP is saying like this. Then ACP says that he didnt say the name of the taxi to her, then how did she come to know that it was metropolitan taxi in which her driver took shruti to the farmhouse?CID follows Ananya to some hotel. Daya comes to know from the receptionist that Ananya usually meets him. They think that then the person who stays at the house must be some guy who is familiar. Finally, All CID officers kinda a play trick in which Daya and Abhi happen to be room service boys and they beg her to open the door as they got the food and she must have it. Ananya opens the door and everyone aims the gun towards her while Daya and Abhi find Nitin (Shruti's husband).Ananya's and Nitin's confession or hidden love story : They tell CID that they loved each other since college but both of them got married to others. Later, they decided to prove that Hiten's crazy and Shruti died in fire along with her daughterFinally, ACP delivers his famous dialogue saying " Tum dono ke liye sawu phaansi bhi kham hain"****** THE END*****

The problem with human nature is that it is so vastly diverse with each of us. When you are meeting a person for the first time, and you really want to impress that person, surely one of the thoughts playing in your mind is what kind of nature that person possesses. At that time, we feel, if we know enough of the person's nature, we could hit it off very well. But if that were the case, almost every transaction in the world concerning several people would always be successes. That doesn't happen, though. And the shortcoming is in understanding human nature.
No, it is impossible to make an assessment of human nature with the first few meetings. What I do is, I always try to tread on the safe path. I deal with people in a very neutral manner, especially when I am meeting them for the first few occasions. Here are some human nature ethics that I have developed for myself.
- I do not give away too much about myself at the first meeting. Even if you do not have any secret to keep, it is not advisable to speak too much about yourself. People might get the impression that you are too imposing, and think too much about yourself. If you are speaking to a group and divulge bits about yourself - personal or professional - there will always be one dark horse in the group who will feel rubbed the wrong way. Experience teaches me not to speak too much about myself with new acquaintances. That way I keep most of my new audiences happy.
- An unspoken human nature ethic is that you will not be overtly inquisitive about other people's personal (and even professional) lives. Questions like what they are working as, and where they live, are alright. But there is a line that must not be crossed. And this applies even when you have made good friends with people. Human nature being what it is, some people will shoot off about their lives at the very first meeting, while some would not tell even their spouses about it.
- Experience has taught me another human nature ethic that I must always adhere to. And that is, I must never be part of a secret involving someone else. It applies both ways - do not hear other people's secrets and do not tell them to anyone else too. Secrets have a nasty way of spreading, and within no time the subject of the secret will come to know who propagated it. This is a sure way of losing a friendship, and a deterrent to make new friends also.
- Be wary of how much help you are taking from someone. You might be at a vulnerable position, such as you might be new to a job or new to a city, but that doesn't mean you will keep asking help from people who are already there. Remember, their lives are going the routine way even if you have undergone a change in circumstances. For them, you might be simply an intrusion in their schedule. Even if some good Samaritans are offering their help to you, be careful how much you ask for.
- Shakespeare said 'Lend everyone thy ear, but very few thy voice.' Nothing can be truer than that. Listen to what everyone has to say - even woes of grandmothers - but the moment you begin giving advice, you are the bad one. Keep this important human nature ethic in mind - do not give advice! Know that there are two sides to every coin. If someone is telling you an incident, the other person involved will have a totally different version to say. You can never be sure whether the person you are speaking with is in the right or the wrong. The best thing is not to get involved in giving advice at all, unless it is close family.
- Live for a couple of years in the business world, and you will certainly learn to be skeptical. Human nature ethics at the workplace are a totally different ballgame from social ethics, but the norms are similar to an extent. Make friends at your workplace, but not enemies. At your workplace, it is best to be yourself rather than putting people on. Sugar-coated talks will only label you as an opportunity-seeker, while remaining reticent could put you in the league of office infrastructure, and not human staff. It is best to be your normal good self when you are in the office. Get involved with every activity, but do not contribute too much to it. Do not bicker, and be appreciative of what you get.

Torvalds clarifies Linux's Windows 8 Secure Boot position
Torvalds clarifies Linux's Windows 8 Secure Boot position:
This is no more than a personal vendetta between an unskilled blogger (Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols) and Matthew Garrett.
Utterly pointless.
Do read his "friendly" remarks on Matthew's blog as well:
... especially this reply from Greg K-H:
Member Response
I really find the article and links within informational for a user to make their decision. As to the state between Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols and Matthew Garrett, we all have different opinions and positions with this topic.
I am providing the linked article(s) for users to read and decide on their own position. Well informed users will not be bluffed or fall for FUD.
(Apologies to Steven if he ever reads this)
Both make the same mistake though.
You can't just cherry-pick parts from a much wider discussion to prove your own (uninformed and wrong) facts.
It's exactly these kind of uninformed articles what causes moronic FUD posts like the ones from Sam (internet-bully) Varghese:
This whole thing seems like war to me but that is just my take on it.
I can't remember which article that I read on the ZDnet website but Linus specifically said:
BTW, the folks at Ubuntu are not happy about this Win's 8 Secure Boot issue either-
Where do you think this is really going?
And if you don't mind me asking:
Onebuck and Jens:
Is this about power and control or something much bigger like maybe a lawsuit?
Is it just me or has this whole thing really gotten over the top? # ! - ?

LPP is trying to get up to 100,000 joules in each pulse. 60 such pulses would be 6 million joules per second, which if converted at with only about 20% loss would be equal to a 5 megawatt generator. The generator would cost about $200,000 and enable power to be generated 50 times cheaper than today.
Lawrenceville Plasma Physics (LPP) completed testing the new spark plugs that they had designed.
1. The first good news is that, with the Lexan insulators and tungsten pins, the spark plugs have lasted through over 200 shots without breaking
2. the amount of current we are producing per firing capacitor has improved. We have achieved 1 MA at 27 kV with only 8 capacitors firing, something that required all 12 capacitors with the old spark plugs. We believe that the large size of the tungsten pins and the better distribution of current has reduced the inductance of the switches and led to the increase in current, which makes us more confident that we can reach the design current for FF-1 of 2.8 MA.
3. Despite careful adjustment of the spark gaps, the simultaneity of firing with the new spark plugs is worse than with the old ones, and on average, only five switches are firing on the trigger. We believe we know the cause and cure of this problem. We have ordered this new power supply, which will increase the charging voltage on the trigger from 20 to 40 kV and will arrive near the end of August. We think that by doubling the rate of rise of the trigger pulse, we will be able to get the trigger voltage up to at least 20 kV before it shorts. That, together with the capacitor voltage of 30 kV, should get us to the 50 kV needed to fire all of the switches together. Another Dense Plasma Fusion project in Las Vegas is working reliably with higher voltages. The best switches cost a lot and are complicated to maintain. On the other hand, spark gap switches (our kind) with much higher trigger voltages—120 kV vs our current 20 kV—have been made to function reliably recently
The LPP team is also reporting on readings from three x-ray photo-multiplier tubes.
From these numbers, we can calculate the product n^2V (where n is density and V is volume) for both the electrons and the ions. Both numbers are the same, 1.1+-0.1×10^35/cm^3. This is a strong indication that the X-rays and neutrons come from the same plasma, the plasmoid. It is also a good indication of how our instruments are designed to supplement and confirm each other, so that every measurement we take will be checked by at least two instruments

Machine safety: What does 'reset' mean?
Who hasn't heard the term "reset" around machine control? And, how many understandings are there from machine builders to machine users? What do standards think about the term?
Who hasn't heard the term "reset" around machine control? And, how many understandings are there from machine builders to machine users? Oh, and what about the standards writers?
My first thought on this subject was to look in several current standards to see how the term "reset" was defined. Much to my surprise "reset" was not listed with a definition. However, many standards describe within their document how to perform a "reset" – but of what?
Secondly, in my opinion, I thought of what folks have described over the past 20 years or so:
Manufacturers (users) – they have described "reset" as having to do with resetting the control system to a run mode typically after an emergency stop condition.
Machine Builders – they often talk about resetting the stop function to allow another mode like run, micro-inch, set-up, etc.
Component Suppliers – sometimes they talk the required push and twist action of resetting their e-stopping device.
Control System Suppliers – they, however, often talk about resetting the control system to production mode whether the "reset" of a stop/e-stop was caused by a device or the machine control logic.
Standards (and writers) – these documents often describe the required steps involved in re-energizing the control system/motion to run production following various types of stopping conditions including some typical precautions and informational references.
In my opinion, ANSI B11.19-2010, Performance Criteria for Safeguarding, represents a very up to date and comprehensive approach to the requirements surrounding "reset". Clause 6 in particular has an excellent Table that offers explanatory comparisons of three primary functions; Stop, E-Stop and Protective (Safety) Stop. This standard also does a great job of referencing other Standards like NFPA 79 – 2012, Electrical Standard for Industrial Machinery, as well as other ANSI Standards and reference materials.
It's probably fair to say that the best understanding of "reset" comes from several of the latest machine guarding standards and several years of practical experience in combination with your specific type(s) of machinery and control systems.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

Infinium Creative + Evolve Group + Music Owns Me Presents
Mord Fustang
Milo & Otis, Alex Wood, Phoenix Jagger
The Beacham
46 N Orange Ave.
Orlando, FL, 32801
This event is 18 and over
Watch & Listen
from http://www.easyloverecords.com
"The kids just can't get enough of that complextro or whatever you like to call it, and apparently this 20 year-old from Estonia (of all places) is no different. Mord Fustang only has 2 tracks released right now, both on Miles Dyson's Plasmapool, but boy are they jams. There are some serious Porter Robinson elements in there and he's on the label that signed Pance Party so I'd say it's safe to say good things are on the way for Mord Fustang."
With an insatiable hunger for success, Alex Wood has taken the dance music scene by storm and doesn't plan on looking back. Having discovered his passion for dance music at an early age, Alex jumped headfirst into the industry with one goal in mind: to perform the music he loved in front of a live audience.
What ended up happening was more than anyone could have asked for.
Working his way up as an event promoter, he eventually learned the ins and outs of the event industry, starting his own weekly Thursday night party called Ignition at the iconic Firestone Live in downtown Orlando. The success of Thursday nights has catapulted Alex into the limelight, as he performs in front of thousands and pushes both popular and underground sounds to the rapidly growing Orlando dance music scene on a weekly basis. His DJ sets are not your typical "start-to-finish" sets that most are accustomed to. Instead, audiences can expect a diverse array of sounds and genres that will keep fans on their toes from "start-to-finish." Education is what fuels innovation, and Alex makes sure his DJ sets reflect that philosophy.
But it doesn't stop there – having just formed AMG Talent Agency, Alex plans to further make his mark as a prolific contender in the Orlando dance music community by pushing new music and other talented local artists to the masses.
Twenty year old Phoenix Jagger is from a small town on the beach in Florida. For the past two years Jagger has had the opportunity of mixing and meeting with some of the most talented artists in the music industry. His thirst for music has driven him far, and he's only going up from here. He lives for being on stage and connecting with the crowd every time he performs. From iFILTHY!, Dub-Step, Bangerz to bone chilling House Anthems, Phoenix Jagger throws down a little of everything. "I live, dream, think and almost safe to say bleed music "Jagger says.

The 33-year old defensive end has been somewhat of a journey man over the course of his eleven year career. Over that span Douglas has seen three different tenures in Baltimore, starting 32 games for consistently one the best defenses in football, a brief stint in New Orleans, three years and 47 starts in San Francisco under head coach Mike Nolan, and this past season in New York, where he started twelve games for the Jets.
An impressive resume considering some of the teams and defenses he started for. With so much mileage under his belt, though, are the Dolphins just getting a washed up veteran on the last stand of his career? Based on his production a year ago, one could argue he's still got it. Surprisingly, Douglas had one of his better seasons as a pro for the Jets, racking up the third-highest tackle total of his career (64), despite coming off the bench in four games.
Now, from a pass rush production, he's surely fallen off quite a bit, even though he never had far to fall. Douglas has only accounted for 20.5 sacks in eleven years, with his career high coming in 2004 when he put up 5.5 quarterback take downs for the Ravens. Over the past two seasons, though, he's only managed 1.5 sacks, both coming in 09′.
But, really, that doesn't mean much. As a 3-4 defensive end, the primary goal is to stop the run and allow the pass rush production to come from the outside linebackers. The Dolphins did get some production from their defensive ends last year, as Randy Starks led all 3-4 types with 7.0 sacks, and Kendall Langford threw in another 2.5. But if Douglas can effectively maintain his ability to stuff the run, he will find a home on this defense.
Whether that be a rotating role, much like that of Phillip Merling's a year ago, or the starting job. The latter isn't likely, though. Make no mistake, this is Jared Odrick's job to lose. The Dolphins want to throw Odrick into the fire in the same way they did with the rookie corners last year. He was considered the best five technique defensive end in the draft, he has the run-stuffing skills to translate effortlessly to the scheme, and possess some pass rush ability that could contribute to an interior pass rush.
If he doesn't turn heads in camp, the Dolphins could start the season with Douglas opposite Langford, and gradually increase Odrick's reps each week until he's eventually ready for the starting job. In the event he flat out disappoints, though, Miami now has a backup plan that was briefly absent with Merling's situation. Douglas is more than capable of stepping in as the starter, and would prevent the run defense from falling apart, which could have been a reality under the same circumstances with no depth behind Odrick and Langford.
And let's not forget the way Miami used their trio at defensive end last year. Starks and Langford were outstanding, but still conceded 376 snaps to Merling, which in turn kept everyone fresh. That's why Douglas projects to have a big role, regardless if he's the temporary starter or the man on the rotation.

Bad loss but Im seeing some positives even though there are plenty of negatives.
Im not into this next year crap. I want to win now. But Im not talking championship yet. I feel that a huge run is in us. I think we can take any team to 7 games. The playoffs are imperative to our success for the years to come. STAT must lead defensively. He can't have these lapses. But it will turn around. We almost there.

1984's Ghostbusters, set in New York City, is among the free films screened in NYC this week
The bevy of free outdoor movies continues with a wide range of choices of movies and locations to view them that include tonight (July 16) at Pier 63 at Hudson River Park (near 23rd Street) where the award winning 2013 film American Hustle will screen for free. This is a great location and does not get as packed as some of the other spots like Bryant Park but note that the front half of the lawn, which is damp most of the time so bring a plastic sheet, is on a backward slant from the screen so try to avoid sitting there or you will keep falling backwards. More info. Meanwhile at the aforementioned Bryant Park's (42nd Street at Sixth Ave.) weekly HBO sponsored screening this Monday (July 21s) will be National Lampoon's Vacation. More info. Over in Brooklyn at McCarren Park tonight (July 16) SummerScreen presents Ben Stiller's silly but fun Zoolander. What makes this free outdoor movie series extra special is that they also have a live concert beforehand. This evening that will be the must-see double bill of two hot new NYC hip-hop acts Ratking and Princess Nokia. 6 pm start time with film screening at sundown (8:30pm approx). McCarren Park is at N. 12th St. at Bedford Avenue, Williamsburg. More info. Then on Friday evening at Pier 46 (again on Hudson River Park) "Ghostbusters (trailer above) will screen at part of the summer movie series' Family Fridays with free popcorn to accompany the free movie. Pier 46 is along West St. at Charles St. More info.

Tuesday's rare transit of Venus won't be seen again for 105 years
bob j Bli Bli, QueenslandJune 4, 2012 2:59 p.m.
I now live at Maryborough, Queensland. At 06.50 (Eastern Standard time) dawn has broken to a clear sky and I am wondering if the Venus event will be seen here, not that I will be able to go out to see it. It also brings to mind the question of how many other earths are populated - possibly hundreds or even thousands. Will we know of it when we are in the world of spirits ? ?????????

We asked for Loop fans' help last week in coming up with an alternate name for "lobbyist." Seems the word has become verboten, as it apparently brings to mind unsavory images of influence peddlers, so much so that the American League of Lobbyists is changing its name to remove the offending verbiage.
Loop fans stepped up to the challenge. Among the printable-in-a-family-newspaper (ahem) suggestions, these were some of our favorites:
The House Whisperers
Spinterest Groups
Legislative creationist
And we couldn't help but notice a preponderance of entries that shared an acronym: "Professional Influence Manipulators & Persuaders Society," "Pass 'Im Money Person," "Public Image Makeover Professionals" and "Provider(s) of Investors' Money to Pols."
And an honorable mention for a suggestion for the lobbyists' organization that we liked for its simplicity: Former Congressmen and Staffers Association.

Has the 'definitive' documentary about the reggae superstar finally arrived? Bob Marley's daughter, Cedella, opens up about her famous father and the new film that reveals the (hu)man beyond the legend.
It's hard not to be taken in by the opening moments of the new documentary Marley. Waves—so passionate, so lush— crash onto the shores of West Africa. A moment later, we spot a few men standing up in a long canoe as they paddle toward an unknown destination. And then, a majestic image appears on screen. At least it looks majestic—from the outside. It's Cape Coast Castle. And perched here in Ghana, West Africa, it remains a sobering reminder of one of history's more darker eras. You see, the castle was the threshold where enslaved Africans were held and later shipped to the Caribbean, to North America and to other places in the world in the 18th century. A tall man—a "tour guide" of sorts—informs viewers that 10,000 enslaved Africans were shipped from the spot year after year—and that eventually millions of Africans were taken from their homeland.
The cameras move through a small covered walkway and eventually the scene stops before an old, large wooden door. Above it, a sign reads: "Whoever went through this door, had no chance of coming back."
This is just one of many moving if not chilling moments found in Kevin Macdonald's Bob Marley documentary Marley, which hits Santa Cruz, fittingly, on April 20 (4/20). And it's a powerful way to open a film about the famed reggae superstar/Rastafarian, of whom one noteworthy soul later proclaims on screen, "loved Jamaica, but was "in transit'—Africa was the destination."
Yes. That certainly was one of Marley's grandest of missions—his spirituality, so deeply rooted in Rastafarian beliefs and the "repatriation to Africa for Africans," eventually became one of the most significant creative grooves of his life. Musically, he was a revolutionary and spoke up about racism and colonialism and, as he crooned in "One Drop," "fighting against ism and scism." So, the way Macdonald begins his documentary serves as an ideal entryway into a memorable Marley journey few have witnessed before—even loyal Santa Cruzans who attended the Bob Marley & The Wailers concert at the Santa Cruz Civic on Dec. 2, 1979.
For Cedella Marley, Bob Marley's daughter (with wife Rita), the documentary couldn't arrive at a better time.
"Finally!" she says in a GT interview. "It's something that we have been trying to accomplish for about two or three years. We went from different director to director but we met Kevin Macdonald and he brought everything that we were hoping for to life."
Prior to Macdonald, a handful of directors had been linked to the film, Jonathan Demme among them.
But Macdonald officially entered the picture about seven years ago after Island Records founder Chris Blackwell contacted him about being involved in what, at that time, would have been Marley's 60th birthday celebration, which was to take place in Ethiopia. Blackwell wanted to fly a large group of Rastas from Jamaica to Ethiopia for the very first time and the film would depict the concert through their experience.
(A Blackwell footnote: As most Marley-ites already know, Blackwell signed on Marley & The Wailers to Island Records in the early '70s and their first effort there was the album Catch A Fire. Later, a more prominent birth on the major record label turned more heads—the album Burnin, which delivered the hits "I Shot The Sheriff" and "Get Up, Stand Up." Tuff Gong Studios eventually came into being—the Kingston, Jamaica, residence that became both Marley's home and recording studio. (Marley also went by the nickname Tuff Gong.) The Wailers regrouped (personally) in 1974, but Marley ventured forth and began recording as Bob Marley & The Wailers with new members. In 1975, along came "No Woman No Cry," the international hit that sent Marley's allure soaring farther north. A year later, the album Rastaman Vibration sat on top of Billboard's charts for four weeks, solidifying Marley as an international sensation. But back to the doc, and Macdonald …)
After doing some initial research on Marley, of whom, Macdonald noted, he really only had an "interested layman's knowledge," nothing came of that initial project with Blackwell. Then Macdonald went off to film The Last King of Scotland in Uganda. Even there, Marley's mystique seemed to follow him, partly, perhaps, because he may have had Marley on his mind—in interviews, Macdonald reportedly noticed images of the reggae titan everywhere—on flags, T-shirts, graffiti. He said he asked himself what it was about Marley that managed to "travel the world?"
In early 2010, the filmmaker was contacted by the producers of Shangri-La Entertainment, informing him that Blackwell had recommended him for directing a "definitive" documentary on Marley, which they were now committed to producing. Macdonald was officially on board.
But there was significant pressure. How do you make the "definitive" Marley doc? How do you illuminate the legend in a way that was fresh? After all, everything from Marley's music and spiritual beliefs (Rastafarian, of course) to the inner workings of The Wailers and also Marley's numerous romances—he had 11 children (Ziggy and Cedella among them) from various relationships—had been featured in other outings, some of them much to the chagrin of family members.
In the late-'80s, for instance, Caribbean Nights, which showcased Marley's life, was released by the BBC. The Biography Channel also aired a Marley doc back in 2004. But none of these efforts seemed to generate the vibe that the Marley family had hoped for. Basically, according to Cedella, they wanted a director who could go "deeper."
Determined to unearth little-known facts, Macdonald began working closely with the Marley family, mostly Ziggy and Cedella. In press notes, he's quoted as saying: "The question I wanted to answer in making the film, was: Why does he still speak to people around the world (because it's clear that he does) and why does he speak to people so much more profoundly than any other rock artist or popular music artist. What I was fascinated to try to do in this film was to make something very personal. Who is this man? Why did he become so successful? What was the message that he had to give out to people?"
While Macdonald found little from the musician's youth and, perhaps astonishingly, not any footage from the first part of Marley's career (1962-1973), he pushed through with his mission. The personal accounts of Marley's life soon stood out in the roughly 60 interviews he conducted for the documentary—half of which were cut. Those interviews include Marley's wife Rita, the enigmatic Neville "Bunny" Livingston of the original Wailers, a few of Marley's cousins and other relatives—children Ziggy and Cedella, his first teacher (Mrs. James), and, in one of the doc's more heartfelt moments, the German nurse who tended to the singer when he went for special—some called it controversial—cancer treatment in Bavaria, Germany.
In 1977, Marley was diagnosed with cancer. He died at the age of 36 on May 11, 1981 in a Miami hospital.
Marley—the Work of Art
Cedella Marley, and others within the inner Marley posse, had one vision in mind in working alongside Macdonald: To create a signature effort that would truly capture Bob Marley—heart, soul and everything human and musical in between.
"What we didn't want to do was have the same people telling the same stories over and over again—haven't we seen that? Heard it? I don't believe half of it anyway," Cedella candidly reveals. "You have to be very cautious because [in the other docs], it's 'their' story. Or their version of a story. Just to have a diverse set of people that we had—from Peter Marley, and the nurse from Germany, I think Kevin did an amazing job and great research. He brought it. I'm excited that we have a documentary that I would want to sit down and watch. This is probably the first Marley documentary that I sat down and watched. I wasn't interested in the others."
It's certainly a full, emotionally rich body of work. (See review page 26). And much of the archive footage of Marley certainly stands out. One moment, in particular, finds Marley toying with his dreadlocks as he talks about growing up in a musical family in the hills of St. Ann, Jamaica. Somehow it captures his "shine." Other moments include scenes about Marley's father, Norval, who was white—some of those interviewed in the doc, including "Bunny" of the Wailers, discuss how Marley was often teased or rejected for being "mixed."
These moments add to the compelling Marley tapestry here.
"I think we went beyond the legend [here] and discovered the man—the father, the brother, the lover, the husband," Cedella adds. "We exposed 'the human being: Bob Marley.' The weaker parts. The illness. How he really thought it was a fight he could win, just like we all did. Just see him being very vulnerable and still resilient; still the fighter."
In the film, Cedella herself uncovers powerfully moving moments as she relays the emotional aftereffects of her father's death and the complicated nature of the entire family dynamic. As a whole, she hopes the documentary exposes Marley's captivating spirit and one-of-a-kind vibe—one that further illustrates the message that one can bring change and transformation into the world.
That kind of influence wasn't lost on Cedella, though. Now in her forties, she's a successful businesswoman. As the CEO of Tuff Gong International, a clothing and design company, she's partnered successfully with Barneys New York, Zion Rootswear and Puma. She recently designed a kit for the Jamaican track and field team for the 2012 Olympics and her collection of customized women's clothing is dubbed Catch A Fire—it's the title of Marley's hit album. She's also acted (The Mighty Quinn).
Currently residing in Miami with her husband and three children, Cedella assists with operating 1Love, the unique Marley-inspired charitable enterprise with many rich layers to it. In one corner you'll find The Marley Missions, which strives to inspire Marley fans around the globe to "carry out one single act of kindness" every day. Participants can accept a mission, complete and share it through a vast social networking web. In another corner, you'll find ways to help keep music alive in schools and there are, of course, numerous ways to contribute to various charitable causes. (Good news: you can download a 1love app, too.)
The success of the 1love organization is, in fact, but one stunning example of Marley's reach in the modern world. Another can be found on Facebook, where the legend has nearly 48 million "likes" on his homepage. (Incidentally, you can stream the Marley doc on Facebook the day of its release.)
Beyond that, Cedella can't escape the profound influence her father has had on her life, personally. When the (live) music finally stopped, after Marley breathed his very last breath, and now, with the documentary hitting the big screen, she admits that she can't help but reflect upon some of the lessons her father taught her about life; about living.
"He taught me that you have to fight your way through things," she says. "When people ask me, 'Well … your father didn't really make you win a race—what kind of lesson is that?' I say, if you're running a race and you just make somebody win, they are not going to try harder next time. They are just going to assume—I am going to win.'
"So I learned to expect the unexpected but always be prepared and be ready for it," she adds, "because, you know, you're going to run that race and have to run it to win, or just to know you tried your darnest."
As Macdonald's documentary so vividly showcases, Marley ran "the race." Few would disagree that he ran it so well, it made him something more than just a modern-day icon. Role model, sure. Master of the music … of being a man … a (hu)man—of course. And the most striking note perhaps in all this, is that Macdonald et al reveal just how conscious Marley became of his mission in life.
"Once he had consciousness of that, he gave his all to humanity," Cedella points out. "I think his story is timeless. It's almost like it's a myth. You have some people who don't believe Bob Marley no longer walks this Earth—that it's impossible."
She laughs. "He's become almost a mystical man … still on a journey …

Magic vs. Nets: Dwight Howard, Magic Place Their Spell on NetsDecember 27, 2010
After a huge blizzard bludgeoned the tri-state area, the Orlando Magic continued the pounding as they defeated the New Jersey Nets 104-88 at the Prudential Center in Newark.
The last time these teams met, Jameer Nelson hit a tough angle, fade-away jumper to give the Magic the win in the final seconds. However, Orlando put this one away much earlier and has now won all three games against the Nets this year.
The new-look Magic have played well since their recent acquisitions of Jason Richardson, Hedo Turkoglu and Gilbert Arenas, who has been coming off the bench for Orlando. They have now won three straight games.
The game opened with some back-and-forth play but different styles from each team. The Nets looked great around the basket and in the paint, especially Devin Harris, who weaved through the Magic defense to hit some easy lay-ups. Harris finished the first quarter with nine points.
The Magic, on the other hand, lit up the basket from the outside. Brandon Bass, who played for Avery Johnson in Dallas, had his outside shot working early and knocked in six points.
Maybe it had to do with their bus breaking down on the way to the arena, but Orlando had their tempers flaring early as they were flagged with two technical fouls in the first quarter, one by Dwight Howard and the other by Turkoglu.
The first quarter was fast paced, but the second quarter was even faster with scoring on both ends. The Magic took the lead and displayed all their offensive weapons. Even former Net Ryan Anderson contributed nicely off the bench for Orlando with eight points and eight rebounds in the first half.
Howard found himself in foul trouble, which allowed Brook Lopez and Kris Humphries to clean up on the glass.
The game was tied at 39, but the Magic went on a 7-0 run late in the half and took a 51-44 at the break. Harris scored 14 in the half, while Lopez scored 12. J.J. Redick led the Magic in the half with 11 points.
New Jersey started the second half off hot and tied the game at 54. But Orlando answered right back with an 8-0 run as Howard started getting more involved in the offense.
The lead became 12 to close out the third quarter as the Magic continued to knock down big shots from three-point land. Every time the Nets hit a clutch three, someone from the Magic would immediately hit a three at the other end to maintain the lead.
The Magic pulled away in the fourth quarter, opening a 23-point lead. Though he started off slow, Howard recorded a double-double with 19 points and 13 rebounds. Turkoglu was deadly from the outside all night and had 20 points. Anderson also had a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds.
Harris had a big game in a losing effort for New Jersey, scoring 24 points. Lopez finished with 20.
The Nets travel to Oklahoma City on Wednesday to take on Russell Westbrook and the Thunder. These teams engaged in a triple-overtime thriller the last time they met.

One of 15 Salvadoran military men indicted in Spain for the 1989 murders of five Spanish Jesuits in the Central American nation was sentenced Tuesday to 21 months in prison for lying on his U.S. immigration documents.
Retired Col. Inocente Orlando Montano, 71, pleaded guilty almost a year ago and will begin serving his sentence on Oct. 11.
Montano successfully applied in 2002 for Temporary Protected Status, a benefit the U.S. government extends to migrants from countries battered by natural disasters or internal conflict.
Documents presented in court showed he concealed his Salvadoran military service on the initial TPS application and on subsequent applications for renewal.
U.S. authorities later learned that Montano had been part of an army unit blamed for a number of atrocities during El Salvador's 19801992 civil war, including the slaughter of six Jesuit priests and two other people at the Central American University, or UCA.
Prosecutors sought a jail term of more than four years on the immigration charges, arguing that Montano came to the United States, at least in part, to avoid prosecution in El Salvador for the UCA killings.
But defense attorney Oscar Cruz said his client had no reason to fear such a prosecution because he was protected by a 1993 amnesty for civilwar crimes.
Prior to sentencing, U.S. District Judge Douglas Woodlock asked federal prosecutor John Capin about the status of Spain's request to extradite Montano.
The prosecution in Spain stems from the nationality of five of the slain priests and from the principle of "universal jurisdiction," the same doctrine that led to the 1998 arrest in Britain of former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet on the orders of Spanish Judge Baltasar Garzon.
On Nov. 16, 1989, Salvadoran soldiers invaded the UCA campus in San Salvador and killed thenchancellor Ignacio Ellacuria and four other Spanish priests: Segundo Montes, Ignacio MartinBaro, Amando Lopez and Juan Ramon Moreno, along with Salvadoran Jesuit Joaquin Lopez.
Also slain were a cook and her 16yearold daughter.
Only two of the 14 members of the Salvadoran military who stood trial in September 1991 for the murders were found guilty. Though sentenced to 30 years in prison, they were released thanks to the 1993 amnesty.

Gay man wrongfully imprisoned for 11 years gets $13 million pay out
A gay man who spent 11 and a half years in prison after being falsely accused of murder will receive one of the largest payouts for wrongful imprisonment in US history
A US federal court has awarded a gay man $13.2 million after it recognized that he had been wrongfully imprisoned for a murder he did not commit.
David Ayers, now 56, was accused of murder by the Cleveland Police Department after Dorothy Brown, a 76 year old public housing resident, was found dead in 1999.
Ayers had for eight years been employed as a security officer by the Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority which housed Brown before he was accused of her murder after he was the last known person to have seen her alive.
Brown was found in a pool of her own blood, naked from the waste down, with pubic hair in her mouth – suggesting she had been sexually assaulted – but despite the fact that he was gay and that a DNA test of one of the pubic hairs was found to not match his, police officers decided to pursue him as their suspect.
Ayers' lawyers, Russell Ainsworth and Rachel Steinback of civil rights law firm Loevy & Loevy Attorneys at Law also allege that an anti-gay bias by the investigating police officers contributed to their singling him out as a suspect.
A February 9, 2000 police report written by Cleveland Police Department Officer Denise Kovach repeatedly ponders Ayers and Ayers' friends' sexuality.
'This male appeared very "gay" like, but when we asked him if he was gay, he laughed and stated no …. But this male acted very 'gay like', also had candles lit up around his house and religious statues and holy water in cups,' the officer wrote.
'[Friend] Ken Smith is also a hairdresser and dressed and sat like a gay male. Note: David Ayres [sic] gives quite an impression of also being gay.'
Ayers' lawsuit argued that the investigating officers, 'had no reason to suspect Mr. Ayers of having murdered Ms. Brown,' but had pursued him as their suspect anyway.
'Ayers was innocent and had nothing to do with the crime. Moreover, as a gay man, Mr. Ayers did not fit the profile of the killer in the case, given the obvious sexual nature in which the victim had been attacked. Nevertheless, [the officers] … became resolved to prove that Mr. Ayers committed the crime.'
During the week long trial in 2000 one of the investigating officers, Denise Kovach, had argued that the pubic hair in Brown's mouth had not been relevant evidence to disqualify Ayers because 'pubic hairs are everywhere.'
Instead the officers falsely claimed that Ayers had implicated himself in the crime to them and convinced a jail house snitch who had been housed with him to testify that Ayers had confessed to him.
Both the officers who framed him retired with full benefits, while he lost both his father and mother in jail and was unable to attend their funerals.
Ayers was given a life sentence in December of 2000 and had expected to die in jail.

Chinese Growth Shows Little Restraint, Rising 11.1% in Quarter – David Barboza
From the New York Times:
Roughly a dozen interest rate increases and other moves to tighten money and lending over the last three years have failed to tame growth in China, the world's fastest-growing major economy.
Fueled by soaring exports and huge investments in infrastructure, factories and energy supplies, China could soon overtake Germany to become the world's third-largest economy, behind those of the United States and Japan. [Full text]
