Worked in Advisement at Hofstra since: January 2010
Previous university experience:
Columbia University – Associate Director of Academic Affairs and Special Programs; Senior Assistant Dean, Junior Senior Advising Center
University of Toronto – Graduate School, Admissions Officer
Anne believes that the college experience can be one of the most rewarding in a person's life. She consistently works to create a safe environment for students to grow personally and academically while recognizing that college is a time of self-discovery, change, and adventure. The Center for University Advisement offers students much more than help with registration. Anne encourages students to get to know their advisers as they continue to explore Hofstra University's resources.
Pilar Barreto (Maria P. Barreto) Assistant Dean of University Advisement
Pilar is originally from Puerto Rico, and grew up in a bicultural home. After receiving her B.A. from Harvard College in 2006, she taught middle and high school English and Spanish in the States and Puerto Rico. She truly enjoyed teaching, but was eager to return to a university setting and work with older students. This led her to pursue a master's in higher education at the University of Michigan. While in graduate school, she developed a deep interest in issues of access and retention of underrepresented and underresourced students, and in the growing importance of community colleges for many individuals in the United States. She also had the opportunity to mentor student athletes, which inspired her to seek a position in academic advising. Most recently, she worked as an assistant dean with the Harvard Summer School before moving to Long Island with her partner, who began his residency at the Nassau University Medical Center. She enjoys reading and writing, traveling, and watching sports. She is also a proud Red Sox fan. She is excited about joining the Hofstra community and helping students find personal and academic success.

Matt Hickling B.S Horticulture, Kansas State University
M.S.Ed Rehabilitation Counseling Hofstra University
Worked in Center for University Advisement since Fall 1984
Working with college students is the most fun job I have ever had. This is not what I originally thought I would end up doing for my career but all things happen for a reason. I decided to take this job because while in graduate school I was the graduate assistant to the advisor who worked with students with disabilities and found that I liked not only working with that group of college students but students in general. I realized that as specific as my graduate studies were, I could use the knowledge that I gained to work with all students in my capacity as Advisement Dean.
Jennifer Lebowitz, Assistant Dean, Academic Success Programs

As an undergrad, Jenn competed on the Cross Country and Track & Field teams, representing St. John's at the USTFA Junior Nationals and as winner of two Metropolitan Conference championship titles. She also contributed as a writer for Sequoya, the University's Art and Literary Magazine, and enjoyed being a tutor in the Writing Center.
Jenn most recently worked as an Assistant Director in her alma mater's Student Development for Athletes. She served as academic advisor for over 100 student-athletes across six teams as well as the department's Tutor Training Coordinator.

Worked in Advisement at Hofstra since Sept. 2007
Previous Experience: Career Counselor – Long Island University, Brooklyn Campus
Getting to know and assisting young people is the best job in the world. I've held many different jobs, but working in academic advisement is my favorite. I did not take a conventional approach toward my own education, so I have a deep understanding of students who struggle finding their way through their undergraduate days. I've worked pretty much in every field imaginable, but higher education is my favorite. From my experience, I think it is important for students to get as much experience as possible as an undergrad. I understand how difficult it is and the pressure involved to figure out what you want to do with your life at such a young age. Get involved as much as possible!
Danielle Robin B.A. Economics, Binghamton University
Worked in Advisement at Hofstra since: January, 2008
Throughout my college and post college experience I have always been drawn to working with and helping people. Although I had a sense of where my passion lay, it took me a long time to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. I had various jobs and internships in television, business, entertainment, health care and in tutoring/teaching. What I came to learn I enjoyed and valued the most were the times when I acted as an advisor and counselor to my peers and students. This realization led me to my current position here at Hofstra.
My advice to new and current students is to be true to yourself. I would encourage everyone to follow their passion by both gaining hands on experience and speaking with people in your areas of interest. I have found in life that nothing quite compares to hands on experience to help one figure out what they truly like and dislike.

What I love about Advising The best part of my job is seeing the transformation students undergo throughout their college experience. For many, this may be the first time they are away from home. They may be scared and unsure as to how college works, what they want to major in, or to whom to turn to for help. I pride myself on being that resource that students can turn to for guidance and assistance throughout their Hofstra stay.
Eventually, before you know it that scared and timid student is now completing a graduation check, talking about internships and job opportunities, and preparing for life after Hofstra. It is those moments that make my job truly worthwhile.
As your Advisement Dean, I welcome the opportunity to meet with you regularly to help you accomplish your personal and academic goals. Although I may not have all the answers, you can be assured I will make every effort to help you find it!
Michelle Spatarella Bachelor of Arts in Psychology
Master of Science in Education in Counseling
Michelle Spaterella is excited to be back at Hofstra, working in Student Affairs as an Assistant Dean in the Center for University Advisement. Michelle has been a member of the Hofstra community for over 18 years. She started as a teenager working as a Recreation Counselor in the Summer Camp Program. She then went on to study Psychology as an undergraduate while working in various departments on campus as an undergraduate assistant. She joined the advisement team from 2001-2006, while attending graduate school and obtaining her Master's Degree in Counseling. Taking a brief break from Hofstra, Michelle worked as a guidance counselor in her hometown for 3 years but couldn't stay away for too long! She is proud to be back for the past year and is pursuing another Master's with the intent and hopes of making Hofstra her permanent home. She enjoys her daily interactions with students, faculty and Hofstra colleagues. Most of all, she looks forward to being able to work one-on-one with international students, student-athletes, coaches and her department team.
Jennifer Tepper B.A. Psychology, State University of New York at Albany, Minors: Business & Education
M.S.Ed School Counseling, K-12, Hofstra University
Worked in Advisement at Hofstra since: November, 2008
Throughout my college career I always knew I wanted to work with people and help others. I changed my major three times until realizing that Psychology and Counseling was my passion. While in college, I volunteered for a Nationally Recognized Program called Middle Earth Peer Assistance Program. This program was developed to help students and people in the community have someone to talk to. During this time, I would answer crisis and non crisis phone calls on a weekly basis. This experience led me to pursue a career in the rewarding field of counseling and advising.
Sometimes it takes time to figure out where your passion lies. Making use of campus resources, such as your advisement dean, can help you get there a little faster. Take advantage of everything Hofstra University has to offer.

I enjoy working with college students and being able to help them learn and develop. Sometimes we have to troubleshoot hurdles and sometimes we have to build bridges but it is a learning process that carries us further. As an undergraduate student I felt lost and confused. I was not aware of all of the options and support that was available to me. I was able to come out on top and I want to help other students find their path. I also enjoy working with a team of talented and dedicated individuals who share my work ethic and desire to help others.
My advice to new and current students is to ask questions and own your experience. It is what you make of it and I hope you enjoy it.

Previous experience:
University of Illinois - Academic Advisor 6 years
Macon County Public Schools - Social Worker K-12
I love working with college students! The best part of my job is watching students reach their potential. I remember what it was like not knowing exactly where my path would take me; I explored wildlife biology, environmental sociology, and then sociology in general. Volunteer work directed my interest to social work, and an assistantship in graduate school introduced me to working in higher education. You can never know what path lies around the corner! If I could change anything about my first year of college I would have asked for more help from my academic advisers.
My advice to new and current students is to talk to many people in various disciplines and get to know your professors. If you are exploring a career, talk to people doing that career. Most of all, utilize the resources available to you.

Previous experience:
University of Rhode Island – Graduate Assistant Academic Advisor, College of the Environment & Life Sciences
Bryant University – Graduate Intern, Intercultural Center
College was an amazing time for me because of my school's Student Affairs department and my experience as an Orientation Leader. After I graduated, I realized that I loved working with college students more than I loved television (and trust me, that's a big deal). I attended graduate school and gained great experience working with a variety of students in Rhode Island. I became very interested in social justice, academic advising, and research on the first-year experience of college students.
My advice to new and current students is to get involved in your campus community and plant your own roots here. If I could change anything about college, I would have become more involved earlier on and looked outside of my major for different extracurricular activities. Having a variety of experiences in college can be helpful when you get out in the "real world."

Previous experience:
Bottom Line – Senior College Counselor for 5 years
As the first in my family to graduate from college and also to receive my Masters degree, I have always understood the value of an education. I truly enjoyed my undergraduate and graduate years and saw how beneficial those years were in helping me build my career. I wanted to share this joy I had for education with other students and help them see that obtaining a college degree would be a valuable investment in their future. I first began working with college students at a nonprofit in Boston called Bottom Line. At Bottom Line, I worked with low income, first generation college students at many different colleges and universities in Massachusetts. I was responsible for providing students with academic advising, financial aid assistance, career counseling and emotional support. Working at Bottom Line was the most humbling five years of my life. I am excited about continuing that work here at Hofstra University and can't wait to see the wonderful relationships I establish with my cohort of students.
Alison Milewski B.A. Speech Communication, Rhetoric and Performance Studies
Worked in Advisement at Hofstra since: Summer 2006
I like to tell my students to think of their time here as the longest job interview they will ever be on. With that in mind remember that you would want to :
-learn about the company's policies and procedures that you are applying to,
-take in as much new information as possible and ask many questions (participate),
-join/volunteer for anything and everything that peaks your interest,
-make good first impressions (with professors and administrators),
-and remember to never forget who you truly are (keep your integrity).
If you keep all of that in mind, not only will you be very successful here at Hofsta, but you will make one awesome candidate to your future employer.
As seen on my office wall there is a quote I would like ALL students to remember: "It's never too late to be what you might have been."

One Alabama senator says it's time for the state to get out of the retail liquor business.
State Senate budget committee Chairman Arthur Orr is working on a bill for the legislative session beginning Feb. 5 that would do just that.
Orr says closing state-run liquor stores and eliminating the 600 employees could save $46 million annually. He wants to use private liquor stores for all retail operations.
The administrator of the Alabama Alcoholic Beverage Control Board, Mac Gipson, says the current system is efficient. He predicts that switching to only private retailers will lead to higher prices for consumers, which is what happened last year when Washington closed its state-run liquor stores.

Player Profile: Justin Masterson
Justin Masterson was a difference maker in 2013. There were some mixed leagues where he may not have even been drafted given a terribly disappointing 2012. Even if you did draft Justin you you likely didn't have to call out his name until the rounds hit the drinking age (the legal drinking age silly which would be 21 not 16 because that's when your degenerate self started pulling back on 40′s). When you take a pitcher that late, and you get a season like he produced, you can win championships. Let's quickly detail how well he preformed before breaking down his performance.
Masterson won 14 games. That's one more than Justin Verlander, Yu Darvish and James Shields.
Masterson had a 3.45 ERA. That's better than the marks of Verlander (3.46), Cole Hamels (3.60) and and Jon Lester (3.75).
Masterson had a 1.20 WHIP. That's better than Mat Latos (1.21), A.J. Burnett (1.21) and Kris Medlen (1.22).
Masterson had 195 strikeouts. That's more than Stephen Strasburg (191), Matt Harvey (191) and Jose Fernandez (187).
So let's put it all together. How many hurlers won 14 games, had an ERA under 3.50, a WHIP of 1.20 or better and 195 or more Ks? The answer is six – Max Scherzer, Clayton Kershaw, Cliff Lee, Adam Wainwright, Anibal Sanchez and Masterson.
Yeah, it was a pretty good year.
We have an interesting situation with this righty. In 2013 Masterson was very, very good. In 2011 he was very good (12 wins, 3.21 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, 158 Ks). In 2012 he was very, very bad (11 wins, 4.93 ERA, 1.45 WHIP, 159 Ks). Who will Masterson be in 2014?
Masterson is stable. He's thrown at least 180-innings in each of the past four seasons. The past four years he's averaged 199 innings pitched a season and his total of 795.1 innings is 24th best in baseball. Don't worry about the late season health issue he had in 2013.
What you can worry about is his K-rate. Look, you just don't see what Masterson did happen. From 2008-12, over 820 innings of big league hurling, Masterson had a K/9 rate of 7.07 (a rate that was one tenth better than the league average). In those five seasons only once did he have a rate over 7.00. Once in five years. Pitchers don't strike out 7.1 batters per nine innings, over five years years and more than 800 innings, and then jack up their rate by two full batters. However, that's what Masterson did as his 2013 K/9 rate was, get this, 9.09. His 2013 K/9 mark was fully two batters above his rate enter the season. Like I said, you just don't see that happen.
How did he do it? Some guesses.
First, he threw his fastball less than at any point over the last four years. His 73.3 percent fastball rate was five percentage points below the lowest mark he had the previous three seasons. Mind you he only has two pitches, he throws his change up about once a month, so he ended up relying way more on his slider than every before. From 2010-12 he threw his slider 18.5, 14.9 and 19.3 percent of the time. In 2013 that number was 26.6 percent. Clearly that was part of the reason for the increase in punchouts. It also helped that batters chased balls more than they had previously – likely another result of the slider. Masterson had a 61.4 percent contact rate on swings by batters on balls outside the strike zone, and that's about six percentage points where the number was at in 2011-12. Moreover, after a mark of nearly 83 percent in 2011-12 in the contact mark for batters on all swings taken that mark fell to 78.6 percent in '13.
Let's say his slider really did go to another level last season, and that he trusted it more than ever before. Does that really speak to a two batter increase in his K rate? Can he continue to be a K per inning arm in 2014? Pretty sure you can tell by my writeup thus far that I'm highly dubious he will be able to do that. In fact, I'd wager that he will at least give back half of the increase he saw last season over his career 7.1 K/9 mark entering 2013.
As for the rest of his game…
His ERA was 3.45. In the other four seasons in which he threw at least 125 innings only once was his ERA in the 3′s. For his career the mark is 4.03, worse than the league average.
His WHIP of 1.20 was just the second time in five seasons of at least 125 innings that he posted a mark below 1.45 (read that again). His career mark is 1.36, worse than the league average.
He walked 3.54 batters per nine innings, three hundredths above his career rate. It's also a half batter above the big league average of 2013 (3.02).
His HR/9 mark was 0.61. His career mark is 0.69. This is a strong level.
His HR/F mark was 10.7 percent. His career mark is 10.0 percent, right on the league average.
Why such a low mark in the homer category? Masterson keeps the ball down in the zone – batters just cannot lift his diving offerings. Last season was the 6th time in six years that his ground ball rate was at least 54.3 percent, and his 58 percent mark was the second best of his career. The result was a 2.40 GB/FB ratio, just one hundredth off his career best mark from 2010. There aren't many out there who are starting pitchers who can approach that level of groundball-ness. In fact, no one did in 2013 as his 58 percent mark led baseball as did his 2.40 GB/FB. Mind you his career marks are 2.15 and 56.4 percent.
His BABIP was .285. That was his lowest mark in five years and the first time the mark was under .300.
So in the end what do we have in Masterson?
1 – We have a very durable arm.
2 – We have a guy who was career average in BB/9, HR/9, HR/F in 2013.
3 – We have a guy who set career bests in wins, WHIP, K/9, K/BB and BABIP in 2013.
Can he repeat his 2013 effort in 2014? Can't see how he can. The ERA and WHIP will likely inch upward even if he pitches relatively similarly. His GB/FB will likely dip a bit. His BABIP will likely increase a bit. As I've noted, I believe his K/9 rate will regress. What that all means is certainly no death blow to Masterson. I say it all the time – you give me a strikeout arm who also keeps the ball on the ground and that guy has a spot in my team. My real concern here is my belief that Masterson is incapable of continuing to dominate batters with the whiff like he did in 2014. He'll likely cost too much for me in the majority of leagues next season, but as long as you don't overpay you will be rostering a durable arm that should keep his team in games more often than not.
Happy Thanksgiving.

Under these conditions classical Taq DNA polymerase exhibits some polymerase activity, enough to allow elongation of the mismatched primers. Following this incubation step, the "Hot Start" enzyme was activated by heating for 15 min at 95 °C and then the same PCR programme was used for both sets of reactions.

is there no way to get the skin to pull this info from the movies xml? cause MCM automatically tags all the xml's w the proper source, but afaik it cant add the source to the title, so it would have to be done manually (not really an option for a collection my size)
perhaps someone familiar w the mq3 xml's knows where this code is located, and a way to adjust?? |

Hi all,
I always used media center 7 with mediabrowser/metadata. I have around 3000 1080p MKV rips, 80 3D BLU Ray ISO's and 50 normal BLU Ray ISO's. All my movies are named in different folders (so directory name and file name). So its like E:\Dark Knight, The\Dark Knight, The.mkv etc.. My question is; Can I use these blu ray covers or do I have to rename all my files?? |

APPLE VALLEY, Minn., Sept. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Uponor, Inc. is excited to announce the launch of Uponor Innovations LLC - a new, wholly owned subsidiary and corporate enterprise designed to identify emerging markets and create new, game-changing products.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130924/CG85549LOGO)
"We are very fortunate to work with very talented and creative people at Uponor," says Bill Gray, president of Uponor North America. "But, we have to recognize that no single company has a monopoly on good ideas. Uponor Innovations is one way we can connect with others externally and help turn their good ideas into a reality."
Anyone from entrepreneurs to startups, business owners, management teams, investors and funds can submit an executive summary of their ideas to www.uponorinnovations.com. Uponor is open to exploring ideas that may or may not build on its existing product profile and business model.
"Someone may have a good idea, but lack the resources to gain any traction or success," says Gray. "That's where Uponor can help. We have a successful and established infrastructure to help introduce ideas, products, processes and technology to our industry."
This infrastructure includes staff, funding, manufacturing, marketing, sales, technical support and a national distribution network. Uponor Innovations is not an investment portfolio enterprise, but rather its approach is to pursue involvement through existing Uponor assets and resources.
Gray believes that building an innovative culture internally and externally is a great opportunity to build products and create new processes and technologies that not only help its customers differentiate and grow their business, but also inspire the industry with fresh, innovative and sustainable solutions, and enrich people's way of life.
"The entrepreneurial spirit is a core part of our culture at Uponor; it's in our DNA," Grays says. "We're very excited about this new venture where we can all capitalize on better ideas and solutions to revolutionize our industry."
Uponor, Inc. is a leading provider of plumbing, fire safety and radiant heating and cooling systems for the residential and commercial building markets in the United States. Uponor, Inc. employs nearly 500 people at its North American headquarters in Apple Valley, Minn. For more information, visit www.uponorpro.com, www.uponor-usa.com or call (800) 321-4739.

Friday, Oct 252:40 PMBig data/analytics plays lower following Qlik and Informatica's results
- Big data/analytics plays Teradata (TDC -2.7%), Tableau (DATA -0.8%), Splunk (SPLK -2.6%), and Tibco (TIBX -2.7%) are trading lower after Qlik (QLIK -18.4%) and Informatica (INFA -3.8%) posted Q3 results and Q4 guidance yesterday afternoon. While Qlik fell sharply immediately after releasing its numbers, Informatica opened higher before gradually selling off today.
- Much like Tibco earlier in 2013, Qlik is blaming its weaker-than-expected top-line results and guidance on sales execution. The business intelligence/analytics software firm stated on its CC (transcript) its needs to adjust sales processes and "improve operational discipline."
- Some analysts questioned Qlik about the performance of its European ops (responsible for half of revenue). While Americas sales rose 35% Y/Y in Q3, European sales only rose 13% (9% exc. forex). Qlik suggests its problems on the continent are due to both macro and sales execution.
- Informatica's top-line guidance was strong, but its EPS guidance was more subdued due to the impact of major sales/R&D investments. Headcount rose by 98 people Q/Q and 364 Y/Y in Q3 to 3,178.
- Informatica mentioned on its CC (transcript) it booked 23 $1M+ deals and 87 $300K+ deals in Q3, up from 13 and 75 a year ago. Subscription sales rose 48% Y/Y, and now make up 12% of software revenue.

Tuesday, Oct 1510:05 AMEnterprise IT stocks slip following Teradata warning
- A week after some of them temporarily fell in response to Citrix's warning, enterprise IT names are slumping on account of Teradata's Q3/2013 warning, which was largely the result of weaker-than-expected Asian numbers.
- Three other data warehousing/business intelligence software providers - Informatica (INFA -4.4%), MicroStrategy (MSTR -4.1%), and Qlik (QLIK -3.3%) are among the biggest decliners. The companies rallied in August in response to Teradata's better-than-feared Q2 report.
- Other decliners: EMC -1.8%. NTAP -2.1%. CVLT -2.5%. FFIV -2%. JIVE -2.2%. NOW -2%.
- Teradata isn't alone among enterprise IT names in seeing its Asian ops underperform. Cisco and Oracle have reported similar issues.

Friday, Sep 201:02 PMBig data/analytics plays surge following Tibco report, upgrades
- Qlik (QLIK +4.8%), Teradata (TDC +3.2%), Tableau (DATA +1.1%) and Splunk (SPLK +1.2%) are all moving higher after Tibco (TIBX +3.4%) beat FQ3 estimates on the back of stronger-than-expected license growth and $1M+ deal activity and Susquehanna upgraded both Tibco and data warehousing software vendor Informatica (INFA +3.7%).
- The sell-side is generally pleased with Tibco's report. FBN likes the fact Tibco's BusinessEvents event-processing software (a key part of its business optimization unit, along with the Spotfire analytics platform) saw rebounding demand, and Pac Crest is encouraged by "commentary indicating a potential return to a more robust large-deal environment."
- Jefferies thinks Tibco ""provided some of the more constructive macro / demand commentary in the sector," and can further improve sales productivity." Stifel notes federal and core middleware sales remain soft, but also asserts Tibco's "superior product stack is levered to a number of secular trends (analytics, big data, social, cloud, real-time) that solve real-world problems across verticals."
- Separately, Cantor has started coverage on Splunk with a Buy and $70 PT as part of a broader enterprise IT launch. The firm thinks Splunk's machine data analytics platform "could be a disruptive force across the IT landscape as new users are brought onto the platform and new use cases are uncovered."
- A recent survey of Fortune 1000 execs found 68% stating their firms plan to spend $1M+ on big data projects this year, up from a little over 1/3 a year ago. 19% expect to spend $10M+ this year, and 50% expect to do so by 2016. 70% of investing firms said they're putting money into analytics projects.

Friday, Aug 91:34 PMQlik, Tibco rally in sympathy with Tableau
- Qlik (QLIK +3.9%) and Tibco (TIBX +1.5%) are trading higher after analytics/data visualization software rival Tableau (DATA +13.5%) soundly beats Q2 estimates, reports strong deal activity, and issues above-consensus Q3/2013 guidance.
- UBS' Brent Thill is raising his Tableau PT to $75 from $65. He notes Tableau's 1.5K new customers top the 1K Qlik reported for Q2, and argues the size of Microsoft's Excel installed base (~1B users) "proves [Tableau] has a long way to go" in its "multi-year journey to disrupt the traditional [business intelligence software] space
- Qlik sold off following its July 25 Q2 report, but subsequently rebounded, and is making new 52-week highs today.

Thursday, Aug 111:04 AMTeradata jumps on better-than-feared results, guidance; peers higher
- Teradata (TDC +7.7%), which tumbled this year on bad earnings news and IT spending concerns, is reiterating its guidance for 2013 EPS to be at the low end of an initial guidance range of $3.05-$3.20; that's still above a $3.00 consensus.
- Due to a 100-200 bps forex hit, Teradata now expects 2013 revenue growth of 4%-5%, below a 5.2% consensus.
- Q2 EPS was lifted by $91M in buybacks, and a relatively healthy gross margin of 57.9% (down 60 bps Y/Y, but that's better than the 240 bps drop seen in Q1).
- Product revenue (drives future services sales) -12% Y/Y vs. -19% in Q1. Consulting services +10%, maintenance services +7%.
- Americas revenue +2% vs. -9% in Q1. International -1% vs. +3%.
- SG&A spend +3% Y/Y to $185M. R&D spend +10%, but still only $47M.
- Data warehousing/analytics peers are outperforming: INFA +2.5%. DATA +2.1%. QLIK +4.1%. TIBX +2.3%. SPLK +3.2%.

Tuesday, Jul 95:09 PMJive Software (JIVE), Millennial Media (MM), Tangoe (TNGO), Qlik (QLIK), and Sourcefire (FIRE) are possible acquisition targets as IT giants continue eying software plays, thinks Bernstein's Toni Sacconaghi (ed: Millennial is an ad services firm, and Sourcefire sells both security hardware and software). With PC and enterprise hardware (I, II) demand slumping, hardware vendors have plenty of incentive to grow their software exposure. Sacconaghi estimates software has made up over 60% of acquisitions for IT hardware firms since '02, services 23%, and hardware/other 14%. |Tuesday, Jul 95:09 PM| 1 Comment

His campaign in new voting issues for the critical state of Florida.
This time -- the Obama administration against the Republican governor Rick Scott who does not appear too keen on a new federal order.
To stop trying to clean up the voter rolls in Florida that's with the governors trying to -- The governor says it is necessary to remove it in eligible voters from the rolls and heard -- have free and fair elections saying what's wrong with that.
But the Justice Department argues he is violating.
The voting rights law.
But neither side budging a state elections official has stepped in to temporarily freeze the whole process.
While they sort out their differences.
But is that in effect a win.
For the department justice which wanted to stop this in the first place.
Joining me now Florida attorney general Pam bonding Pam welcome back.
Thinks Megan so the Justice Department -- it first of all Rick Scott goes out and says there's all of it thousands of bill and eligible voters on the rolls let's take care this now before the November election.
And the Department of Justice says not so fast governor Scott why why do they care.
Well that you know -- -- that's a great question because what do you think despite what party we are.
What ethnicity what race we should all want fair elections because every single person who -- illegally nullified a legal but.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- You're messing with legitimate citizens in your in your effort to get the illegitimate voters off the rolls that your harassing people that there's a high Hispanic population.
And that this is gonna you know in nor I guess to the benefit of one party and hurt a lot of legitimate voters.
And this is the Department of State issue I'm not technically involved -- -- yet -- well I have a feeling how wealthy she's gonna say top blunt force but let me try to explain what department the department -- done.
And they didn't wanna do that that's exactly right you don't wanna start sending out these letters to the wrong people so last September they went to Homeland Security instead -- You have with these list.
You have access to the federal immigration list.
Given syphilis but let's work together so that doesn't happen and they -- obstructionist and they refused to work with the state of Florida would get.
That the federal government Homeland Security they refuse to give these lists to work with at the state of Florida it's about how all this came about.
Relevant because now the -- department justices saying you can't help purge your rolls right now because the Florida primaries coming up in your too close to the window of the primary be messing with the voter -- but you're saying.
The only reason we're so close to that window is because the DOJ the department Homeland Security stonewalled you on there on the information you need this.
So while there that the Department of State back in September they've been working towards this the goal and -- -- This should be something that we should all every every American should want a fair value your height and legal.
-- -- and see where where dead did this Department of Justice is concerned about disenfranchising.
But we see Republican administration saying they are concerned about voter fraud and cleaning up voter rolls and other scenes it would be -- conflict by party.
We've -- Eric Holder.
Objecting to voter ID laws in various states and objecting to cleaning up that the voter rolls down in Florida.
How does this ultimately get resolved as -- as a legal matter in your view.
Well Florida -- just we're gonna keep fighting and we have governor Rick Scott he's tough he believes in what we're Julian.
The department -- state you know we artists down all right now.
And again that's a loss for you it is right now because.
We're -- all right now that you know my my my words to the Department of Justice are sit and we all want legal people to and not illegal people and that's what's happening and it's not -- party you do you think that there is it that this they've accomplished their goal because this is what they wanted whether they have the right legal leg to stand out or not.
They -- -- this thing's gonna shut it down and are you now stuck between now and November.
In terms of your -- can you want to get resolved by November.
Well I have said because I know the department this state they're still asking Homeland Security to work with them we're gonna see if that's gonna happen and the broader perspective -- in terms of you know.
-- even -- you see Democrats in and democratic administrations like.
Like this one objecting to this type of effort saying disenfranchisement disenfranchisement.
Do you take that is that totally specious or is there something to -- that some people might be disenfranchises so you need to tread lightly.
Well I I do believe you need to tread lightly in that you need to be actor you don't need to be sending.
All these people letters and scaring them if they are registered voters and dots with the state of Florida was trying to accomplish by working with Homeland Security by getting the list of -- -- suspected to be get adamant on the roll exactly and stuff and going through that first before -- -- all these latter are you entitled to as a Florida entitled to that list from the department of -- Obama I think -- out we absolutely should be I think they should work with us because again as attorney general.
Of the state of Florida I find it very frustrating I think every American should find it very frustrating.
And troubling that they don't want to work with our -- and to ensure that the proper people -- it assuming you're stonewalling nothing happens between now and November we go to November Florida's critical state this election is it is an every president and presidential election.
What remedy would there be if you then find out that a number of illegal immigrants have voted -- folks who are not.
Legitimate voters have voted what can you as the attorney general do that well we're gonna see what happens between now and then going to be very careful what I say now but.
But I'll tell you look at 2000 I mean that that that race was what lost some -- less than a thousand votes may get I've -- and -- that's right hanging -- that's right.
That gives it a -- to a lot of the reporters like my friend Bill Hemmer who.
Down arrow right on time covering that and we don't want any change as -- sent out now from you were gonna call you now that's.
Thank you ma'am thank you great to --

Leading graphics supplier, SAPPHIRE Technology, has begun sampling the world's fastest graphics card, the SAPPHIRE HD 5970 4G TOXIC Edition. Previewed at CeBit 2010, the SAPPHIRE HD 5970 4G TOXIC Edition has 4GB of fifth generation GDDR5 memory, a total of 3200 stream processors and 160 texture units and runs with world leading clock speeds of 900MHz core and 1200MHz for memory (4.8GHz effective). This is significantly faster than the standard model, and makes the SAPPHIRE HD 5970 4GB TOXIC Edition not only the fastest card in its class, but the fastest in the world. With twice the computing power of the highly acclaimed SAPPHIRE HD 5870 Series, this new HD 5970 model shares all the exciting features of the HD 5000 family – including support for the DirectCompute 11 instruction set of Microsoft DirectX 11, hardware tessellation and multi threaded communication with the system CPU. It also enables the acceleration of applications supported by ATI Stream, and the ability to display across three monitors simultaneously with ATI Eyefinity. All of this comes with a modest active power consumption and ATI Powerplay Dynamic Power Management to achieve super-low power consumption in 2D and idle modes. The card is cooled by a customised solution from Arctic Cooling with nickel plated heatpipes and fins, featuring three low-noise dual ball bearing fans and developed specially to mate with the SAPPHIRE original design pcb. This efficient solution also provides scope for further performance tuning. All of the SAPPHIRE HD 5000 series cards have an on board hardware UVD (Unified Video decoder) considerably reducing CPU load and delivering smooth decoding of Blu-ray and HD DVD content for both VC-1 and H.264 codecs, as well as Mpeg files. In the SAPPHIRE HD 5000 series the UVD has been enhanced to be able simultaneously to decode two 1080p HD video streams and to be able to display HD video in high quality with Windows Aero mode enabled. HDMI capability has also been upgraded to HDMI 1.3a with Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio support. The SAPPHIRE HD 5000 series is supported by AMD's DirectX 11 WHQL certified graphics driver for Windows 7 and Vista which delivers support for all of the key DirectX 11 level features required for new gaming experiences and acceleration of next generation high performance applications.
This card clearly needs more fans. Cooling is not sufficient until the fans draw more power than the GPU.
wow, really wow it's even have faster clock than refference HD 5870, i hope shapire don't limit this thing to 1000 piece, and price it like a moron
Tweaktown did a review on that monster a week or so ago Man, if they do price it around what TT said.. I'm selling my two for that!
Good lord, the 5970's got some untapped potential, if a simple overclocked Toxic card scores what it does in that review.
*Starts Firefox* *Clicks on the TPU bookmark* _JP_: Oh look! btarunr posted some more news! Let's see... *Scrolls down* _JP_: Hmm. Sapphire makes HD 5970 Toxic...Ok lets' see it... . .. ... _JP_:
I just realized it has 4gb of ram. That is as much ram as I have in my computer! Is that really necessary? Can anything actually utilize that?

Head of the class: Best high school comedies
By Geoff Berkshire, Metromix
"I Love You, Beth Cooper," opening July 10, is the latest in a long line of high school comedies, a genre that's become as unavoidable (and frequently annoying) as high school itself.
The best of the bunch use witty dialogue and recognizable characters to explore the pressures, anxities, frustrations and occasional triumphs of high school life. And because of that more than a few have proven themselves essential viewing for movie fans.
In compiling a list of the finest, some worthy movies were disqualified for arguably arbitrary reasons ("Risky Business" and "Juno" focus on the adult world more than high school; "American Grafitti" unfolds after its characters have graduated). Otherwise the only requirement was for a high school comedy to be awesome, important, or preferably both.

You can always make a film somehow. You can beg, borrow, steal the equipment, use credit cards, use your friends' goodwill, wheedle your way into this or that situation. The real problem is, how do you get people to see it once it is made?

Film editing is now something almost everyone can do at a simple level and enjoy it, but to take it to a higher level requires the same dedication and persistence that any art form does.

This applies to many film jobs, not just editing: half the job is doing the job, and the other half is finding ways to get along with people and tuning yourself in to the delicacy of the situation.

When I'm actually assembling a scene, I assemble it as a silent movie. Even if it's a dialog scene, I lip read what people are saying.

Vortex of Jacks
February, 2009—Cocos Island, Costa Rica
On the same trip to Cocos Island, I found myself once again on a safety stop at the end of a photographically disappointing dive. We just couldn't manage to find the hammerheads in any numbers, and visibility was a bit poor, with overcast skies above. In the distance, I noticed a rather large shadow below me, and decided to swim over to investigate. I came upon a large school of Bigeye Jacks, tightly schooled together, rotating around itself. The top of the school was at about 30 feet, while I was doing time at 15 feet, and relatively low on air. I also knew that if I descended toward the school, it would likely disperse. So, I made lemonade from the lemons given.
Shot with Nikon D3X and Nikkor 17-35mm lens in a Subal ND3 Housing, no strobes. ISO 200, 1/60 @ f11 |
I turned off my strobes, since they would have been completely ineffective from that distance to the subject, and would have merely illuminated any particulates in the water, resulting in very unpleasant backscatter in my image. In composing this shot, I broke one of the first real "rules" of underwater photography, which is to avoid shooting downwards into the water column, because the usual resulting image will typically appear very drab and generally disappointing. But the "eye" of the live "storm" was too much for me to resist. The resulting image was a monochromatic blue, which I then changed in Photoshop to grayscale. I then made some contrast and brightness adjustments to get the final image seen here.

NEW HARTFORD -- Around 2:30 Wednesday morning, New York State Police cancelled an Amber Alert for two children. They say 5-year-old Timothy Scott Brown and 3-year-old Carmella Joy Brown (descriptions below) were found unharmed in Virginia. According to police, the person responsible is now in custody.
The alert was issued last night by New Hartford Police, after the children were abducted from their father in Chadwicks, Oneida County.
Police say the children's mother, Christin Joy Brown, forcibly entered the home at 3347 Church Street just before 7:00 on Tuesday evening, and forcibly took the children and then fled, with an unknown man, in a silver car with Texas license plates. Police say she has a history of violent tendencies, drug abuse, mental health issues, and she may have been armed. The car was last seen on Grange Road, possibly heading for the state of Texas.
