Justine de Sade (US - DVD R1)
Gabe takes a trashy dive into this tale of perversion, depravity, and violation...
Imagine your most unlucky day. Now multiply that day's hardships by ten, and stretch that day into a year. An innocent orphan girl named Therese goes into the world with only her 'virtue', and finds nothing but trouble. Every day brings about a new form of perverse depravity, a new attacker, a new master, a new enemy. On her journey Therese is raped and ravaged, held captive and abused, beaten and branded, and the worst is yet to come.
Welcome to part two of my Blue Underground Sexploitation double feature. As a newcomer to this side of the grindhouse (I'm not known to seek out non-horror or action related flicks when I go old school), I'm positively amazed at how strictly director Claude Pierson adheres to the original text, as written by the infamous Marquis de Sade. Characters speak in the appropriate era tongue, their thoughts are audible, and Therese acts as a narrator throughout. Cineastes more accustomed to the narrative flow of modern motion pictures may be put off by the extremely episodic nature of de Sade's tale of perversion, but this is in keeping with Pierson's apparent intent (though I am making a lot of assumptions here, I really know nothing of the history of the film or director).
Justine de Sade is the kind of film that they haven't made in decades, and most likely will never make again. Today we do have art house features with hard core sex, but they aren't the same; they're made with purpose beyond pornography, and the pornography we do have is artless. Because this brand of soft core filmmaking with both exploitative and artistic ambitions is all but dead, it is important to maintain a record of them. Fortunately for me as a witness to this anachronistic pseudo-art, this particular production is well made, easy to navigate, and most importantly not without a sense of humour.
The Marquis de Sade is most notorious for his increasing debauchery, but his constant taboo shattering was often full of dark comedy, and by its very nature was funny when read with the correct ear. Most viewers will find Justine de Sade assaultive, and perhaps even in this day and age blasphemous, and the near two hour run time will try even open minded patience, but those in the correct state of mind will find something to laugh at in the film. Most of the time, unlike so many other films from this time and of this style, this humour is actually intentional. Occasionally the film comes off as an incredibly raunchy episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus.
That said, anyone watching the film with the intention of titillation will most likely be disappointed. The nude bodies are curvaceous and attractive, yes, but the deeds of the flesh aren't exactly what I'd call erotic. The nature of the violence and sex is pretty extreme, but what actually ends up on screen is rather reserved (well, as reserved as the work of the de Sade can be). The bottom line is that Justine de Sade lies somewhere between the art house and pornography, and probably won't satisfy either camp, which is why I recommend it with a gigantic but (no, not Therese's).
The most obvious issue with this as immaculate as can be expected restoration is the fluttering of the image. The frame is always swaying, and bright colours flare out and wiggle a bit. Between scenes there is sometimes a jump and missed frame or two. The transfer's blacks are deep, and mostly clean, and though the contrast levels occasionally seem extreme, colours appear accurate. There is of course some grain and some artefacts throughout, but details are clean and edge enhancement is minor.
This is apparently the most complete version of the film available, and some scenes haven't been dubbed into English. The acting in the film is stilted and old fashion, but not too bad, and both the original French and dubbed English are pretty much equal in quality of voice. Both tracks are Mono, and both are thin but clear. Distortion is present in particularly high volume levels, like screams or dramatic musical cues, but this is always brief. The French track features louder music and sound effects, and slightly softer dialogue. This is very clear while watching the English track, which because of the lacking dub occasionally jets into French.
I find myself curious about director Claude Pierson and his other work, but I'm kind of out of luck with this DVD. The only extras here are of the completist's variety, and include a deleted intro, an alternate sequence, and two trailers. The deleted intro has no sound, and is a collage of de Sade era drawings in black and white. I'm guessing it was meant to be set to some kind of narration. The alternate scene is a 'clothed' version of one of the film's many nude scenes, which seems entirely worthless considering how much more nudity and sex is to be found in the rest of the film. The French trailer is set to electronic music not found in the film, and implies much more of a horror show than what is made available. The English trailer also sells it as a horror film, and features still frames and narration set to stereotypical horror movie music.
This brand of old school torture porn isn't really the kind of thing I normally enjoy, and though I don't see myself rewatching this one anytime soon, I was impressed with its overall execution. I don't think I need to stress how very acquired a taste this one is, and even though it's better than most similar films I've seen it's still not recommended for novices and the uninitiated.

And all this time, I thought the Japanese had the market cornered on 70's foreign sexploitation flicks. This sounds like the French version of Sex and Fury.....
Gabe Powers Editor Join Date: September 2004 Location: United States Posts: 4,713
Actually, it's the French version of Justine, which came a hundred years before Sex and Fury.

Wow, You're knowledge of French film and literature must make you a hit with all women with hairy armpits.

CARSON, Calif. – Following a stellar performance that saw him score one goal and set up another, Landon Donovan had a message for those, who had plenty to say during his absence from the game of soccer: "Don't count the old guy out just yet, I still have a little bit left to give."
And give he did during the LA Galaxy's 2-0 victory over Sporting Kansas City, a win that saw LA not only snap their four-game winless run, but also end Sporting's shutout streak at 545 minutes.
WATCH: Donovan scores first goal of the year
Donovan had a hand in ending that streak with his laser accurate pass that set up a Marcelo Sarvas' tap in on the eventual game-winner, but 47 minutes later, the Galaxy attacker got on the board himself as he hammered home his own tap-in this time from a Robbie Keane pass.
VOTE: Landon Donovan nominated for MLS Goal of the Week: Week 8
After telling reporters earlier in the week that his hope that this was the week that "it all came together" for him, he aptly delivered on Saturday.
"It's nice to hit the net again. It's been awhile, while I feel like I've been slowly working my way back in, it's disappointing when you can't have the effect that you want to have and help the team the way that you want to help," said Donovan. "Tonight, it was nice to have a tangible impact and that has to be (the) goal now…Bruce has said many times, we're not judged on time off, you're judged on how you do on the field and it was nice to finally make an impact."
WATCH: Postgame reaction from Landon Donovan
From the start, Donovan created issues for the Sporting defense in midfield as he repeatedly assisted or participated in counter attacks that created opportunities for the Galaxy. After assisting on Sarvas' strike in the 27th minute, Donovan bagged his first goal of 2013 in the midway through the second half.
In the 74th minute, six minutes after being pushed up front alongside Robbie Keane, Donovan found himself the recipient of a Keane feed after the Irishman had raced in behind the Sporting defense. However, Donovan's surging run down the right flank nearly didn't happen.
"I was debating to make the run at first. Robbie from there, probably 95 times out of 100 is going to score. I wasn't sure that he saw me, I didn't think he saw me to be honest," Donovan admitted. "The pass he made is more difficult than people think, you're running full speed with guys coming at you, the goalie coming out, you can over hit that easy, you can under hit that easy and the pace was perfect and he just made it really easy for me."
Although Keane could have taken his own shot at Jimmy Nielsen, Donovan was pleased with Keane's attempt to kick-start his season.
"He's a class player, I could sense that he wanted to get me going and that's what a leader does," said Donovan. "If he took the shot, he's probably going to score, but he wanted to get me a tap-in and I appreciate it."
Following the match, Keane admitted that he believes that his performance with Donovan against Sporting could be a sign of things to come for their partnership.
WATCH: Postgame reaction from Robbie Keane
"He was good, he set a goal up and scored one, and it's not a bad day is it?" said Keane. "Like anything, it takes four or five games to get into the swing of things. So hopefully, me and him are back to 100 percent. He's played three or four games now and when you score a goal and set one up, it breeds confidence in you."
Ahead of the demanding MLS slate, Donovan believes that there's plenty more to come— and the message is clear.
"I'm almost there, just a little bit more sharpness, but I felt almost back to normal. I felt like I was very close to a 100 percent tonight," said Donovan. "Don't count the old guy out just yet."

How about adding an online Security Scanner here at AntiOnline similar to the Shields Up test found at Steve Gibson's GRC?
I like the idea, though the time necessary to code that would take a while... Unless someone wanted to code a scanner for him, I don't think JP's going to invest the time necessary to build such a scanner. Just my opinion, though.
i think it would be very fitting to have a security scanner..it is afterall a security site..why not add some nice tools to use? but yeah i agree that could be some time invested.
iwould also love to see all the security links to other sites fixed sometime soon too..(i know i have bugged about this alot already ..but i want the links fixed!! hehehe)

Maryland SPCA announces major expansion
A major expansion of the adoption center at the Maryland SPCA was announced last week.
"We need facilities to reflect the changes that have enabled us to adopt out every healthy pet in our adoption program for the last two-and-a-half years," Mary-Ann Pinkard, board president, said at the March 11 reception where the announcement was made.
The expansion will include creation of the Morton Gorn Center for Animal Adoption, a new area for adoption interviews, a waiting area, office space and two "animal showcases" for dog and cat housing of "long-timers" to promote their adoption.
A new animal intake center, separate from the adoption area, is also planned, including spaces to assess animal behavior and a dog exam room.
Construction is scheduled to begin this summer, and work is expected to be completed within six months.
Other projects announced will be an expanded cat room, fire safety improvements, and improved accessibility.
The new adoption center is being named in memory of Morton Gorn, a real estate developer who cherished his dogs and his horses. The gift to name the center in his memory was made by his widow, Arlene Gorn, who was introduced to the Maryland SPCA by her daughter, Karen Colvin.
"Mrs. Gorn and the Colvins motivated and inspired us to move forward with this project at a time when many people were pulling back because of the economy," said Aileen Gabbey, SPCA executive director. "Their generosity was an important cornerstone to making this project happen."
The project is estimated to cost $1.8 million.

Another little car found at the markets. I like the planishing on this one. The mark is on the press button "LW" within two circles. Looked the mark up and found out the firm was in Pforzheim, "in the state of Baden-Württemberg, southwest Germany at the gate to the Black Forest. It is world-famous for its jewelry and watch-making industry. ." Wikipedia.
They were known as 'Pforzheimer Bestedt und Silberwaren – Fabrik'

Syfy giveth, and Syfy taketh away.
"Warehouse 13" fans have something to cheer about: The hit series has been renewed for a fourth season.
Syfy ordered 13 episodes to air in 2012, the show's cast and crew confirmed on Twitter Thursday. The renewal isn't surprising; it is Syfy's most successful series ever.
"Under executive producer Jack Kenny's leadership, this superlative team of writers, cast, and crew continue to turn out a series that only gets better and better with every episode," Syfy president of original content Mark Stern told EW. "'Warehouse 13' is deservedly the most popular series in our history and we're delighted to renew it for a fourth season."
This season Aaron Ashmore joined the cast that includes Eddie McClintock, Joanne Kelly, Allison Scagliotti and Saul Rubinek.
The news finally gives Syfy some positive fan reaction after the show cancelled "Eureka." After it renewed the show, after it…
OK, here's the entire saga.
Last week, Syfy announced that "Eureka" would get a sixth and final season of six episodes that probably would air in 2013 . The cast and crew currently are finishing Season 5.
On Monday, Syfy flipped, announcing that the fifth season would be the show's last. Cue the fan backlash. Then on Thursday, Syfy granted the series one more Season 5 episode so that the writers could wrap of the series properly. Well, we hope so anyway.

Crisp and detailed sound
Philips SHE9850 headphones deliver the ultimate in pure sound. Backed by a Balanced Armature transducer, expert tuning and an Angled Acoustic design, they yield remarkably crisp, detailed and transparent audio with extended precision highs.
Unfortunately this product is no longer available
The 3 sizes of ultra-soft silicone caps of these Philips earphones sit comfortably in your ears without adding pressure to them whilst blocking out unwanted noise.
The soft flexi-grip material that the body of the headphone is sheathed in enhances its performance and extends its durability. It protects the cable connection from damage that otherwise could occur due to repeated bending of the headphone body from frequent contact with the user's fingertips when being put on and removed.
The motor of the receiver comprises a coil, a metal u-shaped armature and a pair of permanent magnets, as well as a drive rod and a diaphragm. Electromagnetic currents alter the armature's polarity up or down, moving the drive rod and diaphragm to generate sound output. The receiver components have been fine-tuned to produce greater output at lower frequencies while boosting the peaks at higher frequencies. The result is crisp, detailed and transparent audio with extended precision highs.
The perfect in-ear seal of these earphones will surprise you with exceptional noise isolation.
Derived from a thorough understanding of the anatomy of a human ear canal, the Angled Acoustic design adjusts the angle of the speaker tube and ear bud to individual ear canal shapes. Besides delivering sound directly to your ears, it also creates a perfect seal from ambient noise that enables you to listen to your music at lower volume levels.
Made from slow recovery foam, this pair of sleeves is a comfortable alternative to the rubber ear caps. A snug seal is created by these foam sleeves when they are compressed between the fingers before being inserted into the user's ear canal. After the earphone is held in place for a few seconds, the slow-recovery foam expands to create a secure and tight fit.
Derived from a thorough understanding of the anatomy of a human ear canal, the Angled Acoustic design adjusts the angle of the speaker tube and ear bud to individual ear canal shapes, fitting your ears naturally.
These headphones have symmetrical cables to prevent them from tangling, and hence make for easy listening.
This case is the most convenient way to look after your headphones and prevent the cable tangling when not in use.

Wake County Public School System Turns to Knovation for Print-to-Digital Conversion
CINCINNATI – June 18, 2014 – Knovation, the leader in advanced personalized learning solutions, announces Wake County Public School System (WCPSS) in North Carolina will implement the industry-leading digital learning resource library, netTrekker in all K-8 schools. As the largest public school district in the state and the sixteenth largest in the country, WCPSS partnered with Knovation to offer educator-curated digital content to more than 100,000 students across 137 elementary and middle schools.
Dedicated to providing reliable, standards-aligned resources for its teachers and students, WCPSS was looking for a safe solution for finding and curating content, that also offered literacy support through dictionary and translation services, readability indexes and read aloud text-to-speech support. With netTrekker, the district will have access to multiple types of digital resources to meet the needs of its diverse student population with seven main languages spoken across its schools.
"Our goal is to arm our teachers with resources that will help them personalize instruction and allow them to work smarter, not harder," said Marlo Gaddis, director of instructional technology and library media services at WCPSS. "As we transition to a digital learning environment, netTrekker will become our go-to resource for finding quality digital content that is aligned to Common Core and state standards."
Purchased through the North Carolina Digital Learning Grant, netTrekker's certified digital content will integrate with the district's established curriculum to provide teachers with the flexibility to use their expertise in building and delivering standards-based lessons. Access to digital content is one of the first steps in the district's digital conversion, with a few schools deploying 1:1 initiatives and preparations for state efforts to shift all textbook funding to a solely digital model by 2017.
With more than 360,000 educator-curated digital resources aligned to state and Common Core Sate Standards, netTrekker is the leading digital content solution for districts implementing a blended learning model. netTrekker enables teachers and students to instantly find resources they need for in-class instruction, homework and research. The tool also supports personalized learning by allowing users to easily identify content by academic or reading level, subject, language or theme.
"Wake County Public School System is one of a growing number of large school districts nationwide implementing netTrekker for their digital content needs," said Joe Grieshop, president and managing officer at Knovation. "We are committed to partnering with the district on its digital conversion, and ensuring a successful adoption through our company's professional support tools and flexible implementation services."
WCPSS joins several of the country's largest schools districts already utilizing netTrekker, including the School District of Palm Beach County, Houston Independent School District, Orange County Public Schools and Baltimore County Public Schools.

When will Symbian compile?
World's biggest code dump awaits open source compiler
Symbian won plaudits for releasing the Symbian/S60 codebase last week. It's not to be sniffed at, since it represents the biggest release of software under an "open" license ever undertaken, and the first time a market leader has made such a move. There's just one problem, the company openly acknowledges: it won't compile.
Symbian acknowledged the fact in a blog post last week. Around 30 packages use a now-ancient version of an ARM compiler.
VP of strategy at Symbian John Forsyth agreed it wasn't ideal.
"There is a thorn in my side there and it's one I've highlighted elsewhere is that Symb has a legacy of proprietary commercial tools. That's fine, they work, and people like ARM have a nice business. But it's not compatible with OSS development done properly. We have to move to a free and open source toolchain."
The goal, he said, is to have the FSF's gcc compiler, GCC-E (GNU Compiler Collection for Embedded) out by the end of the month. Symbian sources told us that's optimistic - three months might be more optimistic.
Symbian's Mark Wilcox explained:
"Back when we started Symbian was dependent on not only a commercial compiler but a rather antiquated one (the whole platform worked only with 2.2). So, while the platform has been in transition from RVCT 2.2 to RVCT 4.0, we are really focused on getting a completely free tool chain using GCC-E. In fact, we are currently validating a pre-release version from Code Sourcery that will enable building the Kernel with genuinely free tools, but this also requires the replacement of some proprietary low-level libraries from ARM)."
"There are tens of thousands platform developers today and not much has changed here, except the codebase is now in the OSS part of the repository," said Forsyth.
Wilcox also acknowledged that much work needs to be done on the gcc version. "Around half of the packages currently have compiler errors with GCC-E." Help fixing them is needed: how quickly the target can be met depends on how much volunteers can contribute, says Wilcox.
"Most of the errors are trivial. We've already had one prominent hobbyist and some of the Qt team at Nokia volunteer to get involved - they have "creative Fridays" with 20 per cent of their time to work on any relevant project of their choosing. This really is a case of many hands make light work."
Another issue is getting the new graphics system to work on Symbian^3. Right now, it only boots to a command line. That's frustrating for Symbian shops. The new graphics architecture was announced over two years ago, in response to the original iPhone, but in the intervening period - as Nokia employed some Symbian staff and spun out others into a non-profit foundation - rivals seized the initiative.
So why was this enormous code dump made when it was? Symbian strenuously denied to us it was timed to meet executive bonuses - ahead of next week's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The revised plan saw code release later this year, say Symbian. Still, there's no taking anything away from the ambition, here - it's a lot of code. Intellectual property issues (Sony Ericsson, Nokia and many others contributed to the original Epoc) have kept much of the Symbian team tied up for the past 18 months. At least one obstacle to reviving the most popular smartphone OS has been hurdled. ®

The comprehensive, accredited Washington University Cystic Fibrosis Center at St. Louis Children's Hospital, Barnes-Jewish Hospital, and affiliate centers, has one major goal -- to cure cystic fibrosis (CF).
Dedicated to the treatment of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) for almost a half century, the Cystic Fibrosis Center at Washington University Medical Center and St. Louis Children's Hospital continues to thrive. The Cystic Fibrosis Clinical Center and affiliated clinics are premier clinical and research programs. Its commitment to excellence in patient care, teaching and research was recognized by our Division's inclusion as one of America's best pulmonary services, according to US News & World Report Best Hospitals ranking.
During the past academic year, the Cystic Fibrosis Clinical Center saw more than 500 cystic fibrosis patients, most live within a 50-mile radius of St. Louis. We also attract patients from other states, including Arkansas, Kansas, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas. Located in the St. Louis Children's Hospital, the Pediatric Cystic Fibrosis Clinical Center now follows 250 children and adolescents regularly. We are involved in the care of cystic fibrosis patients from across the United States who have been referred for or have survived lung or liver transplantation. The Center clinical staff remains stable, supported by nurse coordinators, dietitians, social workers, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other ancillary health personnel. A full complement of medical subspecialty and surgical consultants is available, many of whom are actively involved in the program.
Pediatric Cystic Fibrosis Clinical Center
The Pediatric Cystic Fibrosis Clinical Center continues to grow. Thomas Ferkol, MD, and Peter Michelson, MD, are co-directors of the Cystic Fibrosis Center.
Patients with cystic fibrosis under 21 years of age receive their routine care at St. Louis Children's Hospital, which are regularly scheduled in the Pediatric Ambulatory Clinics on Thursday afternoons. Patients may be seen at other times as clinically indicated. Children colonized with Burkholderia cepacia complex are only seen on Friday afternoons. Individual physicians, who have primary responsibility for their patients, attend the clinic with the support of two cystic fibrosis nurse coordinators, dietician, clinical social worker, and respiratory therapists.
When necessary, children with cystic fibrosis are admitted to the St. Louis Children's Hospital 7 East Respiratory Unit, a newer, 20-bed, state-of-the-art pediatric ward, under the care of pediatric residents and pulmonary fellows with attending supervision from the Division of Pediatric Allergy, Immunology and Pulmonary Medicine.

Kentuckians get the opportunity during next month's elections to constitutionally solidify their hunting and fishing heritage by voting for a constitutional amendment that guarantees their personal right to hunt, fish and harvest wildlife through traditional methods.
The 2011 Kentucky General Assembly overwhelmingly passed House Bill 1, also known as "The Right to Hunt and Fish," which established a ballot initiative during the November 2012 general election.
The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources worked closely with the bill's sponsors, as did the League of Kentucky Sportsmen and the National Rifle Association. The Commonwealth is seeking to join more than a dozen other states that already have passed constitutional hunting or fishing guarantees, including Arkansas, Alabama, California, South Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin and Alaska.
Idaho and Nebraska voters also get the chance to amend their constitutions with similar amendments next month.
The full text of the HB1/ Constitutional Amendment reads:
"The citizens of Kentucky have the personal right to hunt, fish, and harvest wildlife, using traditional methods, subject only to statutes enacted by the Legislature, and to administrative regulations adopted by the designated state agency to promote wildlife conservation and management and to preserve the future of hunting and fishing. Public hunting and fishing shall be a preferred means of managing and controlling wildlife. This section shall not be construed to modify any provision of law relating to trespass, property rights, or the regulation of commercial activities."
Preserving Kentucky's rich hunting and fishing heritage remains central, but hunting, fishing and wildlife-related recreation also are tremendous economic engines in today's Commonwealth. They generate more than $3 billion in economic impact and 34,000 jobs annually. They produce nearly $209 million in state and local tax revenues.
"Kentucky was known as the Happy Hunting Ground long before it became a state, and Kentuckians today still enjoy hunting and fishing at higher rates than the national average," said Dr. Jon Gassett, commissioner of the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. "We are fortunate to have the chance next month at the polls to join many other states that have already taken steps to ensure that heritage continues for our grandchildren and theirs."

Senator Velmanette Montgomery Letter To Commissioner John B. Mattingly re: Day Cares
August 26, 2009
Commissioner John B. Mattingly
Administration for Children Services
150 William Street
18th Floor
New York, NY 10038
Dear Commissioner Mattingly:
There were a number of concerns raised at our public hearing over the proposed closure of over 120 ACS day care classrooms, and the transfer of over 3,500 four and five year old children from subsidized child care to kindergarten. Thanks to federal stimulus funding, and the intervention of the City Council, those closures were averted.
It is our understanding that your agency assumes that in the future four and five year olds will attend kindergarten instead of subsidized child care. However, we do not know, logistically, how this plan would be implemented. The same uncertainties that caused distress among parents and the provider community a few months ago have not, to our knowledge, been resolved.
Specifically, how does ACS propose that these thousands of small children be transported to their kindergarten classrooms? And how can New York's overcrowded kindergarten classrooms sustain the influx without violating the Department of Education's class size requirements? Moreover, subsidized care programs stay open until 5:00 pm, while children who are in kindergarten cannot stay past 3:00 pm; is the Out of School Time system capable of providing care for all of the children whose parents work past 5 pm? These are just a few of the questions that were raised in light of ACS' proposal this past summer, and as far as we can tell these questions were never fully answered.
Assemblyman Scarborough and I are advocates for early childhood education and quality child care, because we understand, as you do, that these services provide the foundation for children's success in later years. Given the stakes, it is imperative that we work together and fully explore the consequences, intended or otherwise, of transitioning four and five year olds out of subsidized care and to kindergarten.
The school year begins on September ninth, just a short time from now. We expect our constituents, parents and providers alike, will approach us over the days ahead expecting answers to the questions we have asked you. We need your input before then. We also ask you to participate in a full and open discussion, outside of the contentious budget process, and in advance of the implementation of transition plans by your agency, about these issues.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Senator Velmanette Montgomery Assemblyman William Scarborough
18th Senate District 29th Assembly District
Chair, Senate Children & Families Committee Chair, Assembly Children & Families Committee
Attached is the Commissioner's response to the Senator's letter.

A Reference Gas Inlet System for Compound Specific Hydrogen Isotopic Composition Mass Spectrometry
AbstractCompound specific isotope measurements represent a powerful analytical tool to identify sources and sinks of carbon species in natural environments. One particular example in hydrothermal systems is microbial methane in subsurface environments, which can be distinguished from thermogenic methane based on its carbon and hydrogen isotopic composition. The key limitation with hydrogen isotopic measurements is in reducing the analytical uncertainty to a level that allows for more robust and subtle interpretations.
Current methods for standardization utilize pulses of H2 gas injected directly into the ion source of a mass spectrometer and bypass a conversion step. Inherent in this conversion step are certain biases that discriminate in favor of one isotope of hydrogen. These biases, induced by the required conversion, are only expressed in the unknown samples and not in the reference standards. Briefly, our approach will inject discrete peaks of propane into the stream of a gas chromatograph. These peaks of propane will be separated and converted, along with unknown compounds of interest, into H2 gas for analysis. With the proposed injection of propane, the biases become equal between sample and standard, and therefore generate a much higher quality data.
This method of standardization will allow for more precise data to be collected and become the standard method of calibration for all compound-specific hydrogen isotope data in the future. We request funds to synthesize and interpret results from this development in preparation for publication. This work will allow WHOI to obtain the rightful credit for the development of this new technique.

07.25.08 Fast BreaksPosted by rtmsf on July 25th, 2008
Some things we've missed while lounging in a pool of indignant contempt (and mineral hot springs)with Lute Olson, Kevin O'Neill and friends the past few weeks…
It's Extension Season! – Davidson's Bob McKillop (3 more yrs until 2015-16), UCLA's Ben Howland (7 yrs at approximately $2M per until 2014-15), Tennessee's Bruce Pearl (1 more yr until 2013-14, but with a raise that will average out to $2.3M per over that span), Notre Dame's Mike Brey (2 more yrs until 2014-15), Temple's Fran Dunphy (2 more yrs through 2013-14), and Oregon's Ernie Kent (3 more yrs until 2012-13) all got their wives a new car last week.
- UCLA's AD Dan Guerrero is the new NCAA Tournament Committee chairman for 2009-10. Expect UCLA to play in Pauley and the Staples Center during its first four rounds that year.
Tim Floyd breathed a sigh of relief when he learned last week that Demar DeRozan passed the ACT and will be eligible next season for his Trojans. DeRozan is a likely 1-and-done, which means Lute Olson has vowed to not recruit players like him for the rest of his career (still feeling the burn of Jennings and Bayless, Lute?)
Gonzaga forward and RTC fav Austin Daye both tore and didn't tear his ACL at the Lebron Skills Camp recently. He should be ok for the upcoming season.
Welcome to the Kyle Taber Hoosiers. Speaking of which, ex-Hoosier Jordan Crawford is transferring to Xavier.
Memphis guard Doneal Mack has decided to return to Calipari's squad after all – he had previously stated that he was transferring to the University of FEMA New Orleans.
This is interesting. Georgia Tech center Ra'Sean Dickey has decided to forgo his senior season so that he can begin his professional career in Ukraine? Wow, thie Euro thing is starting to heat up, eh?
The fall of former Florida gambler guard and gunner Teddy Dupay is now complete. He was recently charged with rape, aggravated sexual assault and aggravated kidnapping of a Utah woman, according to court documents.
It's sayonara to the Top of the World Classic in Alaska.
The extremely poorly situated Kentucky Basketball Museum closed its doors in the face of large financial losses.
We wanted to get a take in on the Brandon Jennings Experiment, as articulately described by N-Bug upon BJ's announcement that he'll spend his "1-and-done" year playing in Europe. Generally, we think this will be a disaster and wouldn't be surprised if Jennings absolutely submerges his draft stock during the season (that is, until he returns next spring and excels in the 1-on-1 workouts given by teams). Gottlieb nailed it when he pointed out that EuroLeague ball is of a much-higher quality than what Jennings probably thinks it is (and certainly well above college hoops). Lots of risk of exposure here for Jennings. Bad decision.
Gary Parrish makes a compelling point about the inherent conflict of interest in referees working for schools calling games on international trips and scrimmages, then turning around and calling games for those same teams during the season. As you may recall, we wrote exactly a year ago that the Donaghy situation happens way more than anyone thinks, and this is just another loophole that encourages it.
Maybe we're cynical, but there has to be a Shawn Kemp is Broke story somewhere in this tender piece by Luke Winn.
Davidson's Stephen Curry has noticed that his life has changed after his spectacular March run.
Where does Super Mario's shot rank in the all-time great NCAA shots pantheon? His former teammate Sherron Collins won't have to worry about watching the highlight from the pokey, as prosecutors stated there was not enough evidence to substantiate allegations against him stemming from an alleged incident in an elevator with a woman on the KU campus.

Tool Test: Benchcrafted Double-screw 'Moxon' Vise
By Megan Fitzpatrick
Page: 18
From the November 2011 issue #193
Buy this issue now
In the December 2010 issue of Popular Woodworking Magazine (#187), Christopher Schwarz wrote about building the all-wood double-screw vise from Joseph Moxon's "Mechanick Exercises" (1678).
This vise is a back's best friend; clamp it on the edge of your bench, and use it to raise your work to a comfortable height for working on the edges.
Now Benchcrafted has developed 21st-century hardware that makes the double-screw vise more functional and eliminates the need to fuss with a thread box and tap (they can be fussy). Plus it looks cool and it works like a dream.
While the 8″ cast iron handwheels and polished 3⁄4″ x 8 threads-per-inch acme threads impart a high-tech look, they also function differently from our all-wood version. Here, the screws are locked with nuts into mortises in the back chop and the wheels move in and out on the screws. The moveable front jaw (which is lined with suede to protect your workpiece) doesn't weigh down the movement as it does on our wooden screw version.
But what I appreciate most is that the narrow screws allow room to elongate the through-holes in the front chop side to side, so you can skew the chop to hold tapered work in place with ease. Or, use this functionality to set one wheel for the thickness of your workpiece then spin the other wheel in and out to clamp and release your work. One spin is all it takes to lock your work tightly in place.
VIDEO: See the vise in action.

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — While ties between China and Taiwan may be closer than at any time since they split in a civil war, the staid, formal Communist Party congress being held in Beijing highlights how far apart the two sides are politically.
"Taiwan's democracy has learned from the United States," said Wang Yingying, who moved from eastern China to Taiwan in 2005 with her Taiwanese spouse. "We in China cannot vote for our national leaders. Mainland politics are backward, Taiwan's democracy is much better."
With a population 50 times bigger and an economy 15 times greater, China overshadows Taiwan in almost every respect. But one area where Taiwan is envied by many in China is its freewheeling political system.
Split since Mao Zedong's Communist forces drove Chiang Kai-shek and his Nationalist government from the mainland, China and Taiwan used to engage in a propaganda and ideological war against each other. Since Taiwan jettisoned one-party rule in the 1980s and moved toward democracy, the competition for hearts and minds continues but is more low-key.
"There is now no excuse for the Chinese government to tell its people that Chinese culture is somehow at odds with democracy," said Emile Sheng, who served as culture minister during Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou's just-completed first term. "Taiwan's experience proves this wrong."
Stepped-up trade and travel between China and Taiwan as well as a revival in longstanding cultural and social ties are all carrying Taiwan's success with democracy to mainlanders. Wang, the mainlander bride, is one of 300,000 Chinese spouses living in Taiwan. More than 2 million Chinese tourists travel to Taiwan every year, often holing up in their hotels to watch Taiwan's many politically relentless all-news television stations.
China's ruling Communists continue to hail their model as superior, noting its state-directed economy has lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty in recent decades and government policies have warded off the recession and weak growth that have wracked the West during the past four years. In his opening speech to the congress Thursday, President Hu Jintao said China would never adopt a Western-style political system.
"There is a contest of ideology between China and Taiwan," said political scientist George Tsai of Taipei's Chinese Culture University. "It is dictatorship versus democracy. Many people are wondering if Taiwan's model of democracy is appropriate for China's future."
Sheng, the former culture minister, said a high watermark for Taiwan's influence came earlier this year when millions of politically literate mainlanders closely followed Taiwan's hard-fought presidential election between Ma and challenger Tsai Ing-wen.
He said the thousands of favorable comments that appeared on Chinese blogs — which mainlanders use to skirt government restrictions on officially sanctioned media — left little doubt that some in China had been won over by the vibrancy of the Taiwanese system.
"They were really taken with the openness of the electoral process, the way the candidates conducted themselves, the graciousness of Tsai's concession speech after she lost," he said.
Despite Sheng's optimism, even some Chinese impressed by Taiwan's democratic transition believe it is naive to assume that a robust democratic system can take root on the mainland anytime soon. Decades of repressive policies mean there is no ready opposition party, and many Chinese fear the chaos that might result from a collapse of the Communist Party. Then there's the leadership's resistance to losing power.
"They realize what kind of purge they could expect if democracy ever came," mainlander Eric Zhang wrote in a recent post on Sina Corp.'s popular Weibo service, a Chinese version of Twitter. "They would no doubt fight democracy as if their lives depended on it."

Fitting An External rpSMA Connector To The Rear Of A Eeepc900
Here's a quite neat little mod to get a rear WiFi antenna connector into your EeePC.
I noticed that there seemed to be a bit of room in the box section which comprises the left hand hinge mount base, seen below in the main picture, and the zoomed insert. Sure enough, when the LCD panel and PCB are removed after unscrewing the two hinge mount screws ( an easy job) the area available seemed to offer just enough room for my purposes.

Quick Despatch
Unless otherwise stated, orders are typically despatched within one business day. If an order is made after hours or on non-business days it is deemed to be made on the next business day - so, for example, an order made on the weekend will be queued for despatch on the Monday, and is typically despatched that day or the following business day. Items that are ordered before 12noon (10am for New Zealand) on a business day, are usually despatched that same day.
Delivery Timeframes
Delivery timeframes are dependent on your location, which distribution centre we are sending from, the size and number of parcels, and the schedules of the carrier. Australia Post and Toll Ipec are our preferred carriers, although sometimes other carriers are utilised. In most cases the average delivery times we observe are:
|VIC Metro
|1 to 3 business days
|VIC Regional
|2 to 4 business days
|NSW Metro
|2 to 4 business days
|NSW Regional
|4 to 6 business days
|QLD Metro
|3 to 5 business days
|QLD Regional
|4 to 9 business days
|TAS, SA, WA and NT
|3 to 9 business days
These are average delivery times and we often observe shorter and longer timeframes. Renovator Store cannot control delivery timeframes and processes, and your first point of communication on a delivery is the carrier.
To see more detailed estimated delivery timeframes visit our Estimated Shipping Times page.
Your order might arrive in separate deliveries
An order might come in multiple parcels. Sometimes we might send your order in more than one package or from different distribution centres, and they may arrive at different times.
How can I track my order delivery?
In most cases you will be sent instructions by email on how to track your delivery once your order has been completed. In some cases tracking information is not available. If you are concerned about the progress of your delivery the fastest way to get information is to contact the carrier and quote the tracking number. We can only see the same tracking information available to you.
What if I am not at home to accept delivery?
Australia Post and Toll typically require a signature upon delivery and our nominated couriers typically deliver only during business hours. So it is best to provide a shipping address that will be attended during business hours. If someone is not available to accept the goods the standard practice is to leave a card informing you how to collect at your local Post Office or for re-delivery.
You can put a short note on your order on the order checkout screen to provide delivery instructions, however Renovator Store cannot guarantee the carrier will observe these requests.
We can deliver to an Australia Post Parcel Locker
For a single item purchase you can easily arrange for delivery to an Australia Post parcel locker. There are 200 locations across Australia (also at 7-Eleven Stores and BP Service Stations) that are accessible 24/7 and free to arrange. They will email and SMS you when its ready to collect!

Java to offer Carbonite capture to users
Cloud storage firm in download distribution agreement
Sun customers downloading the latest version of Java will get a free 30-day trial of Carbonite Online Backup.
Carbonite reckons this will get it access to millions of Java users.
Carbonite Online Backup installs in a few clicks and runs automatically in the background, continually backing up the files on the computer, sending them in encrypted form to Carbonite's Boston and Beijing data centres. It says storage capacity is unlimited and users will never outgrow their Carbonite subscription no matter how much data they have.
Carbonite is working to get access to defined groups of users and has trial use agreements with Lenovo for its consumer PCS, Acer and La Cie. However LaCie is starting up its own cloud backup service and its Carbonite deal may come unstuck.
Carbonite has distribution agreements with a small, Ohio-based cable TV company. Masillon, and a few ISPs, such as Arcor in Germany and BBSoft in Japan. This Java deal is on a different level as it gives it access to many millions of Java downloaders.
So far Carbonite has not managed to do deals with retail outlets, or has avoided them. This contrasts with Spare Backup which has just announced an expansion of one of its three UK retail deals. Although it has OEM deals, such as the one with Sony and its Vaiao, the retail deals seem to be boosting Spare Backup revenues a lot.
In March, Spare Backup CEO Cery Perle said this about the first quarter results: "Our subscription numbers continue to improve ... We have benefitted from the combination of strong customer retention, as well as strong growth in new customers through the DSGi channel. We believe that the upcoming Cydcor and Curry's launches will only accelerate this rate of sales growth..."
Spare Backup gets exposure to thousands of customers through hundreds of stores. These are people buying notebook or desktop computers. Although Carbonite has access, probably, to many more users they will be existing users, not new ones with a sales rep possibly selling the Spare Backup service. Access to retail customers could be worth more, in subscription terms, than to SW download customers who might be irritated by a longer download process.
The consumer focus of both Carbonite and Spare Backup contrasts with the enterprise customer focus of Nirvanix which has just gained US SAS 70 (Type II) to solidify its enterprise service provider credentials. ®
