Hi folks, We've got an IBM Power5 cluster running SLES9 and using the GM drivers. We occasionally get users who manage to use up all the DMA memory that is addressable by the Myrinet card through the Power5 hypervisor. Through various firmware and driver tweaks (thanks to both IBM and Myrinet) we've gotten that limit up to almost 1GB and then we use an undocumented environment variable (GMPI_MAX_LOCKED_MBYTE) to say only use 248MB of that per process (as we've got 4 cores in each box), which we enforce through Torque. The problems went away. Or at least it did until just now. :-( The characterstic error we get is: [13]: alloc_failed, not enough memory (Fatal Error) Context: <(gmpi_init) gmpi_dma_alloc: dma_recv buffers> Now Myrinet can handle running out of DMA memory once a process is running, but when it starts it must be able to allocate a (fairly trivial) amount of DMA memory otherwise you get that fatal error. Looking at the node I can confirm that there are only 3 user processes running, so what I am after is a way of determining how much of that DMA memory a process has allocated. I looked at /proc/${PID}/maps and saw this: 40028000-40029000 r--s 00002000 00:0c \ 8483 /dev/gm0 which to me looks like a memory mapping, but to my eyes that looks like just 1,000 bytes.. Does anyone have any ideas at all ? Oh - switching to the Myrinet MX drivers (which doesn't have this problem) is not an option, we have an awful lot of users, mostly (non-computer) scientists, who have their own codes and trying to persuade them to recompile would be very hard - which would be necessary as we've not been able to convince MPICH-GM to build shared libraries on Linux on Power with the IBM compilers. :-( cheers, Chris -- Christopher Samuel - (03)9925 4751 - VPAC Deputy Systems Manager Victorian Partnership for Advanced Computing http://www.vpac.org/ Bldg 91, 110 Victoria Street, Carlton South, VIC 3053, Australia -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Bonjour à tous,
I think this question could be for french girls in here --I'm a beauty editor (mais une francophile at heart!) and I try to read as many french magazines as possible. Unfortunately, a subscription is so expensive and reading online isn't the same as in paper (bit old school, huh?) so I was wondering, do you know where to get single issues of beauty magazines (not Vogue or Elle) such Marie Claire, Glamour, Be, Madame Figaro, in french of course?
I've seen a couple of Marie Claire Maison at Barnes and Noble but that's not what I'm looking for. If you ever pass by one, please let me know! I'll really appreciate it :)
Hi Soe,
You don't need to be a girl to be interested in beauty... :-) I don't know where you can buy these magazines in French in NY because when I was there I couldn't find them in French.
I think the best way to get what you're lookin for is to find someone in France whio could buy them for you. Maybe you can subscribe to these magazines online here: http://stores.magazinecafeny.com/-strse--dsh--Fashion-Magazines-cln....
Hope it helps!
Hi !
There is a big library inside the Grand Central station where you can find French and British Marie Claire and Glamour.
I saw French magazines near the Moma as well but I can't remember where exactly...
Bonne lecture !
Hi Soe,
A subscription to Marie Claire is 50€ / year.
I will be back to NYC soon, if you want some magazines from france, tell me, i could bring you some Glamour, Be or other one...
Bonne journée,
Hi soe,
Ithink you will find your dream at this adress, and you can also read french magazine at the FIAF (2nd level).

Salut Soe,
Tu pourrais devenir membre de French Institute Alliance Francaise (FIAF) (a pricey $95 per year!)
http://www.fiaf.org/membership/individual.shtml (but many benefits if you take advantage of all the membership has to offer)
and you can use the library all you want (including borrowing all the french magazines you love - they have a wide selection - I think you may borrow them for at least two weeks, sometimes three. They also have lots of french films (DVDs), CDs and of course plenty of books. They also carry all the main french newspapers for daily consumption. You can read the magazines at home and make copies of the articles, fashion that interest you most and then return them. Greenest solution, I think...instead of accumulating magazines that you end of throwing away once you're true with them anyway. The news shop at the corner of Spring and Lafayette also has a wide selection of foreign magazines.
Take care,
Et merci a Sandra pour sa longue liste de kiosques.
Definitely Hudson News
thank you! Awesome list.
Around the World Inc., near Bryant Park, specializes in international fashion magazines. (I think they have hundreds and hundreds.)

This is the 3D painting system I demoed at Siggraph. Its still in its infancy and I hope to grow this into something more useful and significant. For now it will serve as a flavor for what is coming from the production team at Derivative. You need a wacom tablet. In the component root there is a panel called painter. Open that control panel and start painting. To add a new set of strokes simply press the "Add Set" button. This will add a new stroke geometry set inside the painter component. You can go in that component if you want to change the type of material.
Eventually I will build a UI that manages the stroke sets, stepping back to different sets and allow for deleting strokes and all kinds of other new features - like different kinds of 3D canvases and control over lighting and a 3D camera. This is it for now.
"Reset Stokes" - lets you reset the current set of strokes you are working on.
"Reset All" Clears the 3D Canvas
"Add Set" Adds a new set of strokes - a new geo object is added into the painter component. You can go in there for now to modify materials. I hardcoded 6 in there to illustrate how u can have different materials.
More to come.

LLS Maryland Chapter Nationally Recognized as Nonprofit Partner of the Year
BALTIMORE, MD - The Maryland Chapter of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) was recently awarded the Mutual of America Nonprofit Partner of the Year Award by the Nonprofit Leadership Alliance in partnership with Towson University. LLS is the world's largest voluntary nonprofit health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research and providing information and support to patients and their families.
The Nonprofit Partner of the Year Award recognizes a nonprofit organization that has demonstrated leadership and commitment to supporting the preparation of the nonprofit sector workforce through their partnership and support of Nonprofit Leadership Alliance campus programs.
Located in Owings Mills, the Maryland Chapter of LLS has long been a partner of the Nonprofit Leadership Alliance program at Towson University. Through this collaboration with the Family Studies and Community Development Department, Towson students have contributed nearly 3,000 hours via internships, community service and volunteering to assist LLS with the overall management and fundraising for an annual free conference that educates professionals and families on the issues that children, youth and young adults with cancer face during and after treatment.
During Towson's spring 2012 semester, a Nonprofit Leadership Alliance service learning group worked on LLS's Light The Night� Walks which raise money for cancer research and patient services. Light The Night Walks take place in nearly two hundred communities each fall across North America and are a signature fundraiser of LLS. The group of Alliance students developed a $200,000 fundraising plan that included marketing analysis, grant application, a small and large donor component and corporate sponsorship. The group also developed a grant application to provide blood cancer-related education, screening, financial assistance and treatment options to Baltimore city's Hispanic community.
"Our unique partnership with the Maryland Chapter of LLS has benefited both them and us," says Dr. Sharon Jones-Eversley, Alliance Campus Director and Assistant Professor, Family Studies and Community Development Department at Towson University. "We nominated LLS for this award because of their demonstrated long-term commitment to nonprofit workforce development. They provide our nonprofit leadership and management students with hands-on opportunities to apply what they learn in the classroom to actual projects in the community."
"Our Chapter of LLS believes in the mission of the Nonprofit Leadership Alliance, and their goal of strengthening the nonprofit sector with a talented, prepared workforce," says Tracy Orwig, the Chapter's Patient Services Manager who accepted the award on their behalf. "We are more successful in fulfilling the LLS mission and meeting the needs of our constituents with the professional knowledge, skills, and passion these students bring to the table."
Sponsored by Mutual of America, the Nonprofit Partner of the Year Award is presented at the Alliance's annual Management/Leadership Institute (AMI). AMI 2013 was held in Atlanta, GA, January 2-5 at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis.
Founded in 1948, the Nonprofit Leadership Alliance exists to strengthen the leadership of the social sector and to sustain the ability of nonprofits to fulfill their missions with a talented and prepared workforce. They accomplish this by partnering with colleges and universities to prepare, certify and connect professionals to nonprofit careers. In 2011, the Alliance launched a new credential - the Certified Nonprofit Professional (CNP). It is the first professional designation of its kind nationwide. The CNP demonstrates that a job candidate possesses critical nonprofit leadership and management competencies the sector looks for when hiring.
Founded in 1866, Towson University, Maryland's Metropolitan University, is the second-largest school in the University System of Maryland. Since 2006, LLS and the Family Studies and Community Development Department have co-sponsored the Staying Connected Conference held at Towson University and annually attended by more than 100 education and healthcare professionals, students and parents. Towson University in Towson, MD has been a Campus Partner of the Nonprofit Leadership Alliance since 2008.
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is the world's largest voluntary health agency dedicated to blood cancer. The mission of LLS is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. LLS funds life-saving blood cancer research around the world and provides free information and support services.

Engaging Museum Audiences
Keeping the Focus on Learning in e-Learning
May 2007
Soliciting User Comments
It's been a while since I posted to the New Media blog, but plenty of work has been going into the blog system itself to fix bugs and add features. Building a blog server is less work than you may think if you have enough control over your CMS. For instance, pinging a blog site with your new content is easy using a XML-RPC call - PHP even has a helpful xmlrpc_encode_request function - and a site like Pingomatic will pass the message on to everyone for you
The remaining big feature for us is user comments - I'm not sure we're even a real blog till we enable this. Although the museums I've spoken to haven't experienced problems with comments, most still retain safe-guards. This might be through a registration/email verification system or pre-approving comments to appear on the site. One method favours the regular contributor, the other casual commenters. I haven't seen a system that lets the user decide which they group they belong to, but this might be a good way forward.
Of course, this work could be avoided by installing a blog server like WordPress but by integrating with our in-house content management system (the snappily named Amgueddfa CMS) this work will eventually find its way throughout our site. One of the projects we're working on will introduce lots of interesting articles and other content about our collections. We'd like people to discuss those themes too.
The Morgan Library and The Whitney Museum of American Art
Today I visited the Morgan Library, which has been recently refurbished. It's worth a visit to see the building not just their collections, which include manuscripts, early printed books, and old master drawings and prints.
Apart from their impressive galleries, they also have facilities to allow you to pour through their website. The website includes CORSAIR, the online website catalogue, as well as collection highlights and online exhibitions.
I also had the chance to visit Dina at the Whitney Museum of American Art. They have designed a superb resource for teachers in Learning@Whitney (www.whitney.org/learning). Teachers can either use the pre-prepared lessons (which are theme based) or print images and create their own lessons. There are even sections for kids and teens to develop their own online galleries.
Ellis Island Immigration Museum
Today I went to the Ellis Island Immigration Museum, and decided for the first time this trip to get the audio guide. This proved to be well worth it - I seemed to be more immersed in the tour, and be more interested in the collections and exhibition.
There were some touchscreens that had access to all the census information. In fact, I looked to see how many Welsh there are currently living in the US (942,377), you can even check the population density. There were also some terminals that allowed you to check names that entered the USA through Ellis Island
Following my trip to Ellis Island I visited the Skyscraper Museum, which was very small, detailing some facts about the world's (and New York's) tallest buildings. It also contained some documentary videos running off DVD boxes.
Museum of Television and Radio & Digital Knowledge Ventures
My visit to the Museum of Television and Radio was an alien experience to me. They explained as I entered how it worked - you could view screenings which are at certain times of the day, then visit their library of television shows and films. They also had a choice of 5 radio programs running on loop all day
This was very strange as there were no artifacts - at least none I'd seen. Unfortunately I missed the museum tour which started in the gallery downstairs. I ventured upstairs just in time for a show's screening. There are several rooms so you can pick and choose throughout the afternoon (it's only open from 12pm).
Later on I visited the library, which (as they explained) allows you to choose 2 shows or films to watch in a private booth. These booths were great - and they would be fantastic for any large film archive
I also visited Vivian at Digital Knowledge Ventures, which is part of Columbia University. They have done some great work for museums, including many websites and interactive touchscreens (using Director). I've got a lot to look at when I get back, especially one of their current projects for the Library of Congress.
April 2007
Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and the Jewish Museum
I visited 2 museums today up on New York's Museum Mile (5th Ave). Not all museums are open on a Monday so it's worth planning beforehand. I visited the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and the Jewish Museum.
The Guggenheim is a stunning piece of architecture, but unfortunately I couldn't enjoy it's exterior much as the building is undergoing some renovations. Still there was plenty of art to enjoy, with some very famous paintings on display. The interpretive technology in the galleries is very minimal - a digital signage system in the foyer is about all I could find. There are some very striking audio-visual installations though, with all the technology carefully hidden. Unfortunately there was no opportunity to visit the Sackler Center, which is described as a 'learning laboratory'.
The Jewish Museum is currently holding an exhibition on new photography and video art. In one part there was an interesting use of large LCD displays on stands arranged into a circle, where you could sit in the middle and watch multiple streams of videos at the same time. Each system seemed to be running from separate machines, though still in sync! I like their Goodkind Media Center, which houses PCs with web-based access to new media and video archives.
Brooklyn Museum
Yesterday's visit to the Brooklyn Museum gave us much food for thought. We met with Nicole, who works within the exhibition department. They are finding effective ways of interpreting the collections without affecting the integrity of the exhibition. Projects like 'Graffiti' have been very popular within the community, as they have been incorporating social networking tools like Flickr.
Policing the comments must be quite hard work, but ultimately worth it. The online community they have built up is an important contact point for the Museum, and they are careful not to abuse this trust with too much marketing.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
Today we met with Matt from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, who is the General Manager of the website. It was a very insightful meeting, and I think Chris and I gained much from speaking with him. Apart from discussing databases and user tagging, we also talked about the difficulties of developing web projects in a museum. It was quite refreshing to see that even one of the largest museums in the USA has some similar issues to us!
After the meeting we went for a wander round the vast museum and looked at one of the few interactives they have (a labelling system). The museum has a huge collection, with some very famous works of art on display (that even I recognised!).
Museums in New York
Yesterday I visited New York's National Museum of the American Indian, which is also a Smithsonian Institute museum. On entering the building the first thing that strikes you is the Rotunda (and oval room)which has the exhibitions leading off it. You are also welcomed by a flash-based (I think) display letting you know what exhibitions are available and what events are coming up.
The exhibits were very good, and well designed. I especially enjoyed the contemporary 'Off the Wall' exhibition, which had a slick video presentation by Erica Lord. They also had contemplation areas between exhibitions, which is a nice touch.
I also went to the Museum of Jewish Heritage, where the original core exhibition (built 1997) is still very engaging. Though I felt there was a lot to digest, the artifacts are fascinating and the videos give a lot of very interesting oral history.
Today I visited the American Museum of Natural History, which is apparently the world's largest museum of it's kind. There was plenty to see and do there, even though any of the galleries were off-limits. I particularly liked the Hall of Planet Earth, and the Hall of Biodiversity which provided plenty of audio visual things for me to look at - and some effective ways of using touchscreens.

Weekly Standard Online
November 1, 2012
by Jaime Daremblum
Based on last week's debate, both President Obama and Governor Romney believe that squeezing the Iranians economically is the best way—and perhaps the only way—to end their nuclear-weapons program without resorting to a military strike. Of course, nobody knows if sanctions will actually work. But if the United States is truly serious about crushing Iran's economy, it must pursue a more aggressive strategy, and it must put more pressure on Iranian trading partners.
That raises uncomfortable questions for the major importers of Iranian oil, such as China, India, Japan, and South Korea, but also for countries that have benefited from a recent surge in exports to the Islamic Republic, such as Argentina and Brazil.
Last year, Argentina and Brazil were responsible for close to 96 percent of all Latin American trade with Iran, thanks to approximately $1.2 billion worth of Argentine exports and $2.6 billion worth of Brazilian exports. (Both countries witnessed a significant decline in their imports from Iran.) Indeed, despite international efforts to sanction and isolate the Middle Eastern country, Brazil sent more exports to Iran in 2011 than it did in "the previous four years combined," according to a new analysis by the online publication Latinvex. All told, Brazilian exports to Iran increased by over 326 percent, compared with 2010, while Argentine exports to Iran grew by about 937 percent.
More recently, in the third quarter of 2012, Argentina and Brazil accounted for roughly 93 percent of all Iranian soy-oil imports, according to estimates from the German consultancy Oil World. Most of that soy oil came from Argentina, which supplied 129,000 of the 202,000 tons that Iran imported. Brazil contributed 59,000 tons, and Paraguay contributed another 14,000.
To be sure, Argentina and Brazil are not even close to being Iran's largest trading partners, and their imports from the Islamic Republic are now miniscule, making each trade relationship massively imbalanced. But if our goal is to suffocate Iran's economy—and to do it quickly—then the rapid growth of Argentine and Brazilian exports to Iran is a matter of some concern.
While the Iranian economy is experiencing tremendous pain from global sanctions, it has not yet reached the point of collapse. As Reuel Marc Gerecht and Mark Dubowitz wrote last week in the Wall Street Journal, "Iran's economy has been allowed to remain healthy enough to leave a vanishingly short time for sanctions to do the work that would head off military action." In a study released on October 15, Congressional Research Service analyst Kenneth Katzman noted that "International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reports have consistently said that Iran's stockpile of low-enriched uranium—and its capacity to enrich uranium—continues to expand, as do its holdings of 20% enriched uranium."
In other words, if sanctions are going succeed, they must be tightened even more—and soon. President Obama likes to boast that America has embraced "crippling" sanctions, but they obviously haven't been crippling enough, for Tehran's nuclear program is still moving forward at a dangerously fast pace. The United States must remain vigilant about closing loopholes in its existing sanctions; it must implement new sanctions; and it must pressure other countries to reduce their Iranian trade.
Argentina and Brazil each have a curious relationship with Iran. Back in the 1990s, Iranian agents orchestrated deadly bombings at both the Israeli embassy and the AMIA Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires. While Tehran continues to deny complicity in these attacks, Interpol has outstanding arrest warrants for several current or former Iranian officials, including the present defense minister, Ahmad Vahidi. Yet the leftist Argentine government of President Cristina Kirchner is now holding high-level negotiations with Tehran to address the 1994 AMIA bombing, which left 85 people dead. Upon hearing news of these talks, the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires expressed "great disappointment," reminding Argentina that the AMIA massacre was approved "in the upper echelons of the Iranian government."
There is another wrinkle to this story, and it relates to the Argentina-Iran economic relationship: Back in March 2011, Argentine journalist Pepe Eliaschev obtained a classified document indicating that the Kirchner government had offered to freeze investigations of the 1992 and 1994 bombings if Tehran agreed to expand bilateral trade. As I mentioned earlier, Argentine exports to Iran grew by 937 percent last year. Now the two countries are meeting to discuss the AMIA bombing. Is that merely a coincidence?
As for Brazil, it warmly embraced Iran during the presidency of Lula da Silva, who served from January 2003 to January 2011. In May 2010, Lula's intervention in the Iranian nuclear dispute prompted Jackson Diehl of the Washington Post to ask whether the Brazilian leader had become a "useful idiot" of the mullahs. But Lula's successor, Dilma Rousseff, has adopted a much less friendly approach to Tehran. In particular, she has taken a stronger stance on human rights. Last January, a senior adviser to Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told a Brazilian newspaper that President Rousseff had been "striking against everything that Lula accomplished" and had thus "destroyed years of good relations." Nevertheless, Brazilian exports to Iran soared during Rousseff's first year in office.
Again, Brazil and Argentina are not nearly Iran's most important economic lifelines, but they have definitely become two significant Iranian trading partners, even as Tehran has moved closer and closer to a nuclear weapon. That is troubling.

FWIW, there's no such thing as "reverse racism". That term drives me nuts. Most folks can't even define the word, "racism". If they could, they would realize that "reverse racism" makes no sense at all. And now, back to your originally programmed argument.

Park at the Hall of Horrors pullout, in front of North Horror Rock. Follow the marked trail around to the left, at which point the East Face of the East Wall of the Hall of Horrors will come into view. Keep walking around this rock on the left, then right into the Hall of Horrors proper. The East Face of the West Wall will be on your left. In the middle of this face is an obvious, short, wide crack. Approach by walking past, then back left to the base of the crack on top of a ledge. Vertical, reasonable protected, very short. Descend from chains atop the face to the right. One 50m rope will get you all the way past the base of the climb and back to the ground.
Standard rack up to #4 Camalot; save the #4 for the belay anchor.
This route was not named after Jessica (?) who was Bullwinkle's girlfriend for awhile. It is named after an early slutty girlfriend of mine who had just rejected me in favor of a big geeky knucklehead (Bearamiah Butt Fu..). Not that I'm still bitter! The route at the time of my FA solo was loose and pilish.
Can't reccomend this one, very unpleasant crack climbing with tricky and dubious pro placements. Not reccomended for begining leaders and a boring top rope.Go and do Lickety Splits instead.
Despite the rate, it is not a climb for beginners. The top can be awkward for them. But the protection is super bomber everywhere.
The only problem with this route is that it is too short. The gear is bomber. The beginning is fun crack/face climbing. The top is a great introduction to off-width crack climbing. The biggest cam you need is only a 3.5. Go on up and get in it!!!
I named this route after an early (neurotic) girlfriend (well at least I thought I wanted her as such) who done me wrong. On the FA the crack was VERY loose (like her). It must have cleaned up to get any stars at all.
My only problem with this climb is that it's too damn short. Otherwise, a fun little route.
I liked it.

A young baseball fan sets out on a cross-country quest to recover Babe Ruth's stolen bat and restore his father's good name in a computer animated family adventure that shows you're never too young to be a hero. Yankee Irving (voice of Jake T. Austin) may not be the best base-runner in his neighborhood, but his love of the game is about to lead him on the adventure of a lifetime when a legendary baseball bat is stolen from Yankee stadium on his father's watch. Now determined to get back the bat from the crooked security guard who swiped it (voice of William H. Macy) and place it back in the grip of the best hitter in baseball history, young Yankee is about to find out just what it's really like to walk out on the diamond to the sounds of a thousand cheering fans. Filmed under the title Yankee Irving and originally slated to be directed by the late Christopher Reeve, Everyone's Hero was completed by directors Colin Brady and Dan St. Pierre when Reeve passed away as the result of a heart attack in 2004, and features additional voice work by actors Whoopi Goldberg, Mandy Patinkin, Raven, the late Dana Reeve, Rob Reiner, and Brian Dennehy. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Johnny Slade's Greatest Hits
When struggling lounge singer Johnny Slade landed a good-paying gig at a hot new club he figured that his time had finally come, until he recognized a correlation between the heinous original songs he's instructed to sing and a series of mysterious crimes. Hired by an elusive boss to sing at a happening new nightclub, Johnny Slade was happy just to collect a paycheck after years of crooning for no cash. But each night Johnny is given a terrible new song to sing, and each night something explosive happens in the local underworld. Before long, Johnny has realized that his shady benefactor is actually a former mob-boss in hiding, and that he uses Johnny's music to communicate orders to his henchmen. Now every time Johnny opens his mouth, someone else takes their last breath. So what's a hapless singer to do when they realize that each song sung means another life taken? ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

When Vincenzo Scocozza (Favino), an Italian immigrant sculptor living and working in Manhattan, weds the expectant Charlene Taylor (Shields), it overcomplicates his life -- for he has tied the knot twice over. Unbeknownst to Charlene, he claims a spouse and two kids in the old country! Suddenly, first wife, Maria (Cucinotta), pops up in the Big Apple, with their sons in tow, letting her Italian temper erupt when she hears of wife number two -- and the schemer Vincenzo finds himself caught in the middle of a small marital war.

Law & Order: Ambitious
The murder of an audio installation salesman has links to Jeff Stahl (Joe Piscopo) and Tom Wilder (Mark-Linn Baker), the co-owners of a Manhattan strip club. It turns out that both men are paying protection to the arrogant son (Jeremy Davidson) of Mafia boss Joseph Russo (Ralph Lucarelli). A deal to offer testimony in exchange for police protection is struck by A.D.A.

Law & Order: Girlfriends
The detectives launch a search for a possible campus rapist when the body of a female college student is found. The ensuing investigation suddenly goes off on another tangent when evidence points to a prostitution ring involving pretty coeds. Can it be that the dead girl was a secret hooker, and that one of her colleagues killed her to keep the secret? Whatever the case, the DA's office is stonewalled by the legal maneuvers of the suspect's well-connected father. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Law & Order: Mayhem
The emphasis is more on law than order as the viewer follows detectives Briscoe (Jerry Orbach) and Logan (Chris Noth) through an extremely eventful 24 hours.

Evidently, this episode made quite an impression on the series' producers; not only was it referred to in the tenth-season Law & Order episode "Entitled," but its memory was also invoked in a first-season episode of the spin-off series Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Originally scheduled to air on January 22, 1991, this episode of Law & Order was bumped forward to March 26 of that year (curiously, only nine days after St. Patrick's Day). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Brian De Palma's Hollywood sanitization of Tom Wolfe's scabrous satire stars Tom Hanks as Sherman McCoy, the "master of the universe," a shallow Wall Street investor who makes millions while enjoying the good life and the sexual favors of Maria Ruskin (Melanie Griffith), a Southern belle golddigger. Sherman and Maria are driving back to Maria's apartment from the airport when Maria takes a wrong turn on the expressway and the two find themselves in the South Bronx. She sees a black youth approaching Sherman's car and Maria, frightened, guns the engine, running over the teenager and killing him. The two drive away and decide not to report the accident to the police. Meanwhile, indigent alcoholic journalist Peter Fallow (Bruce Willis), anxious for a story to make good with his editor, comes upon the hit-and-run tale through local black community activist, Reverend Bacon (John Hancock). Bacon plans to use the hit-and-run case as a rallying point for the black community, while Fallow recognizes the press coverage inherent in prosecuting the callow Sherman. As Sherman is brought to his knees, the New York community fragments into different factions who use the case to suit their own cynical political purposes. Finally, Sherman is left without any allies to support him except for the sympathetic Judge White (Morgan Freeman) and the remorseful Fallow. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Spike of Bensonhurst
In this comedy drama, Spike Fumo (Sasha Mitchell) is a Brooklyn streetfighter with pugilistic aspirations. With Spike's mafioso father in Sing Sing, mobster and former fighter Baldo Cacetti (Ernest Borgnine) looks out for Spike by getting him some bouts and every once in a while convincing the fighter to throw a match. When Spike meets and falls for Baldo's daughter Angel (Maria Patillo), Baldo suddenly sours on Spike. The father wants Angel to marry the college-bound son of a cocaine-snorting congresswoman (Sylvia Miles), and Baldo only envisions Spikes' future as being a mob enforcer. Eventually, Spike moves away from his embittered lesbian mother (Geraldine Smith) and moves in with the Puerto Rican boxer Bandana (Rick Aviles). He soon has two women pregnant in two different neighborhoods as he contemplates his future. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

A man who simulates death for a living finds himself unwittingly tied into the real thing in this New York-based suspense drama. Special-effects man Rollie Tyler (Bryan Brown) makes his living simulating gory mayhem and photogenic violence for movies such as "I Dismember Mama." Tyler is given a chance to expand his professional horizons when he's approached by Lipton (Cliff De Young), who introduces himself as an FBI agent and makes an unusual proposal. Mob kingpin Nicholas DeFranco (Jerry Orbach) is willing to testify against his fellow gangsters, but the investigators are worried about his safety. Lipton wants Tyler to help him and his staff fake DeFranco's assassination; if everyone is convinced DeFranco is dead, people will be a lot less likely to look for him. Tyler grudgingly takes the assignment, and while he's able to realistically simulate DeFranco being shot in a crowded restaurant, after the "gag," he discovers that he's been double-crossed, and he's wanted for the murder of the man he just "shot." Tyler hides out with his girlfriend, Ellen (Diane Venora), but he realizes that whoever set him up wants him dead after she's killed by a bullet meant for him. With the help of fellow effects artist Andy (Martha Gehman), Tyler goes underground and tries to unravel the truth behind the Lipton murder. Meanwhile, police detective Leo McCarthy (Brian Dennehy) is convinced that something is not right when he's called to the scene of DeFranco's murder and is certain that the dead body is not the gangster. F/X was followed by a sequel, and later a short-lived TV series. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Prizzi's Honor

Richard Condon's delicious black comedy was lovingly translated to the screen by legendary director John Huston in one of his last movies. The Prizzis are a powerful family of mobsters, as devoted to their code of honor as they are to bending laws and breaking skulls. Charley Partanna (Jack Nicholson), a Prizzi hit man, is not quite so honorable, at least where affairs of the heart are concerned. While attending a mob wedding, he throws over his longtime sweetheart Maerose Prizzi (Anjelica Huston) in favor of gorgeous Irene Walker (Kathleen Turner). Supposedly a tax consultant, Irene is actually a paid killer like Charley--and this endears her to him all the more. But when it turns out that Irene has betrayed the Prizzis, Charley finds himself on the horns of a dilemma: does he kill Irene or marry her? Fortuitously, Irene helps Charley make up his mind by attempting to kill him. The film's strongest suit is its matter-of-fact approach to Charley and Irene's profession; in the movie's most memorable scene, the two lovers calmly discuss their dinner plans while disposing of the corpse of their latest victim. Nominated for eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, Prizzi's Honor won Best Supporting Actress for Huston's daughter Anjelica, playing the "art imitates life" role of Nicholson's cast-off girl friend. The win made Anjelica, John, and Walter Huston the only three generations of one family all to win Oscars. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Excerpts of editorial opinion from newspapers in the U.S. and abroad:
Los Angeles Times on coal:
President Obama's omnibus proposal to combat global warming addresses the issue in all its many facets -- truck emissions, high-level diplomacy, more federal land for solar and wind projects. Think of it as a target covered with water balloons. The president won't be able to keep all of them from bursting as his opponents in Congress and industry start throwing darts. The key is to not let them hit the bull's eye: new emissions standards for coal-fired plants.
The president's opponents already are complaining that the technology isn't in place for capturing carbon from power plant emissions and that developing it will be costly. �
The United States is still a couple of years away from actual regulations, and lawsuits and political battles will almost certainly delay if not derail many of them. The president should keep his eye on the centerpiece. Just as the nation cannot afford to humor climate-change deniers, it cannot allow the carbon output of its worst greenhouse gas emitters to continue unchecked.
Kansas City Star on immigration reform will enhance America:
This nation of immigrants is on the cusp of figuring out a just and fair path forward for the 11 million undocumented people living in the shadows. It's time.
A bipartisan compromise immigration reform bill crafted by the U.S. Senate's "Gang of Eight" deserves passage.
It makes sense financially and morally. The Congressional Budget Office last week said the bill would increase real GDP by up to 3.3 percent in 2023 and by 5.4 percent in 2033.
Morally, it helps secure the future for children of illegal immigrants, many of whom know no other country. It means undocumented workers will be responsible for paying taxes, beyond what their employers may now withhold under the assumption they are legal workers.
The U.S. Senate is hoping to pass an immigration bill by July 4, a fitting symbolic date for advancing the independence of a nation now trapped by outdated laws.
The Australian, Sydney, on flight to authoritarian regimes:
By flitting from one authoritarian country to another and hoping, like WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, to end up in the embrace of Ecuador, the fugitive US spy agency contractor Edward Snowden is making a mockery of his claims to be a high-minded whistle blower acting purely in the interests of "freedom and basic liberties."
According to Assange, Snowden's final goal is political asylum in Ecuador, which has arranged temporary travel documents for him, possibly travelling via Cuba and Venezuela. The three Latin American countries share poor human rights records. Ecuador, which is providing refuge for Assange in London, has a history of oppression against media freedom that was reinforced recently with a so-called "gag law" condemned by Human Rights Watch as "an assault on free speech."
This does not appear to have bothered Assange. Nor, apparently, does it bother Snowden, who is seeking to mount his case against the U.S. over global surveillance programs by the National Security Agency.�
U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat with a long record of support for liberal causes, has said of Snowden: "I don't think running is a noble thought." She's right: If he really believed in what he was doing and wanted to be taken seriously as a whistle blower, Snowden would have done better to stay home and defend himself. Like Assange, he is being compromised by his own unfortunate choices.

I guess anything that is not down could be considered a "down alternative". I have bought two other down alternative blankets for a similar price in the past and the quality was MUCH better. This is nothing more than a cheap 100% polyester blanket. When they say "light weight" they aren't kidding- it reminds of the cheap comforter sets I bought in college 20 years ago. It is a brand called "Cozy Nights" which is made in China after a quick google also seems to be sold at Kmart and Sears. I have always been happy with the quality of items I receive from Overstock but this is no deal. I will be returning it.
The blanket is very thin and weightless. It is not in any way comparable to a down blanket.
This blanket is great. It is light weight but keeps you warm during the night. Love it!!!
This blanket is warm, but not too bulky and is just what we expected.
My dog sleeps on my bed so I wash the linens frequently. From the very first laundering until the most recent one the fiberfill in this blanket comes out through the outer covering. Blanket must be made of a very poor quality material. Blanket is constantly covered in white pieces of fiberfill. I would not recommend this item.
I ordered this blanket thinking it would be a warm winter blanket. Based upon the photo, which shows quilting, and the title "down alternative", I expected a warm, thick blanket. What I got was a paper-thin blanket. This product is shockingly thin and lightweight. It's very pretty and would be nice in the summer, but I was expecting a winter-weight blanket. Only buy this if you want to use it as a lightweight spring or summer blanket. It is absolutely not an alternative to down, and I feel that it was misrepresented here.
The blanket is not much more than a couple sheets sewn together with a tad of filling between them. I'm from Texas and yet I still feel I need a slightly heavier blanket to keep warm on winter nights. This blanket is good for someone who is hot natured and not looking for something that will actually keep them warm.
Washes up great, purchased a King size to use as a queen size spread in FL. Perfect fit and weight
Well where do I start. The price was extremely low and I got what I paid for. The blanket is very soft - but ultra thin. The silk band around the edge is already fraying and I just took it out of the bag. Not a good sign. I was thinking about sewing flannel fabric squares on it to beef up the quality and warmth. For the price I can make do. Don't bother if you are buying it for warmth or looks. I have 10 year old blankets that have more use left in them. Next time I will splurge and spend a few bucks to get a better quality.
Love this down alternate blanket. Not heavy, which I like, and keeps us nice and cozy in this winter weather. Great price!

Comments about Mountain Hardwear Scrambler ULT 30 Pack:
Very good pack that sheds rain perfectly, easy to load from top pocket, the back wave-frame can be removed for packability as can the outer adjustment straps. Perfect to bring as a light summit pack when summit day requires a good amount of gear such as technical climbing gear and shoes, or ice/snow gear.Does not restrict movement or function when using harness and on technical climbs.

I was out and about in a small town yesterday to see a movie and a Christmas parade. It was a small town that does have a Walmart but really no other department store. The downtown section where the parade was has a bunch of small stores. Stores that sell kitchen appliances (NOT Bed Bath and Beyond), stores that sell children's clothing (NOT Children's Place), art galleries, coffee shops (NOT Starbucks), and a TOY STORE (NOT Toys R Us). The toy store was awesome. All of the stores are cool, but I really loved the toy store. There were sooo many cool toys that you NEVER see in the chain stores like Toys R Us or KB. There were beautiful puppets, interesting games, an assortment of little toys like batons, chattering teeth, wooden puzzles, figurines, etc. The point is...we are so limited in what we can buy when we buy our things at Best Buy, Walmart, Toys R Us, Old Navy, and the like. There are some really neat items out there that are not made by the big companies.
Anyone else have any real stores they can go do their shopping in?

Both the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island will remain closed to tourists indefinitely, a spokesman for the National Park Service confirmed.
Superstorm Sandy hit the city just one day after the interior of the Statue of Liberty was reopened, after a yearlong, $30 million refurbishment.
According to the official, there is no estimate on when the Statue of Liberty's torch, which went dark during Hurricane Sandy, will again shine in New York's harbor.
The New York Times reports that the dock at Liberty Island, where usually thousands of tourists disembark on a daily basis, may need to be rebuilt.
Statue Cruises, the company which operates a ferry service to the islands, confirmed they have stopped selling tickets and have no time scale for when service will resume.
At this time of year, normally, ferries transport around 7,500 passengers to the islands each day.
On Ellis Island, the museum, curatorial, and archival collections are fully intact, with staff offices suffering little or no flooding.
Mike Litterst, a spokesman for the "incident management team" for the Park Service told the Times while the Empire State's pedestal and base had received "little or no damage."
The basement of the building was flooded during the storm, cutting off power on Liberty Island.
He added that the security screening apparatus which are housed in a large tent on the the Battery Park waterfront was also "significantly damaged".
Some tourists expressed their disappointment about the news when they commented on the Statue of Liberty's Facebook page.
"Visiting the Statue of Liberty was something I had hoped to do this weekend." Joe Sullivan wrote.
"Sandy was a destructive storm... the damage to Liberty Island is bad, but the damage to places like Staten Island is heartbreaking... parts of NYC look like Germany after WWII (SIC)."
Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island - 2 minute HD tour:
Much has been written about Miss Liberty, including a short story by O Henry (William Porter) titled "The Lady Higher Up". In this story the Statue of Liberty says this: "I was ...presented to the American people on behalf of the French government for the purpose of welcomin' Irish immigrants into the Dutch city of New York". O Henry potrays the Irish in rather disparaging fashion and the term "higher up" abviously means that the famous statue haranks higher in propiety and prestige that do the riff raff Irish immigrants.
Joe Kelsall - I take it you do not agree with its inscription. Sad, it is one of our nation's most treasured icons and its welcome brought such joy and relief to so many of our ancestors.
Originally the Statue of Liberty was designed to be located at the North entrance to the Suez canal. Unfortunately, the Egyptians rejected it and it was presented to the USA. I am not sure that it was designed to withstand the NY weather. Anyway, now might be a goos time to give it back to the French.
