The programme, will show The Duke of Cambridge's role as a rescue pilot, and the Royal will be be one of the crew members that are featured on the new BBC series Helicopter Rescue.
The show, due to start on April 8th, will feature extensive footage of the Prince, or Flight Lieutenant Wales as he is known at work, working in the RAF.
The show may be one of the last chances to see William in action, after the announcement that the search-and- rescue helicopter service is to be privatised and that the Prince is set to become a full time working royal.
Reflecting on the pressures of the job, Prince William admits during the series that the work gives him an immense feeling when a rescue operation is carried out successfully.
He said: "There's no greater feeling than when you've actually done some good and saved someone's life. I don't think there's any greater calling in life… to be able to see a son or daughter's face when you bring their mother or father back from the edge of death – it's quite powerful."
In episode one, the Prince and his colleagues are called to rescue a local boy who has fallen off a railway bridge onto rocks.
The Duke, is expecting his first child with The Duchess of Cambridge, in July. It has been heavily rumoured that William will scale back his RAF commitments and support his grandmother The Queen, taking on more royal duties by 2014. The royal couple will visit Scotland next week.

Talk:Random number generation
on the bashing of /dev/urandom
I don't take an opinion on whether old overwritten data can be read.
However, there is an unrelated reason to fill a LUKS partition from
/dev/urandom before LUKS-initializing it (and after checking for bad blocks if you wanted to do that).
It makes it harder for people trying to read your disk and find out what's on it. If you filled it with zeroes, for example, then they would be able to tell which portions of the partition had been written to since you initialized it.
compare gentoo docs, http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/DM-Crypt_with_LUKS#Filling_the_disk_with_random_data --Idupree 22:45, 3 March 2010 (EST)
- Agreed,
/dev/urandomshould be used to clear partitions, at least as default in the examples. If anyone wants to zero the partitions instead of using random data, they are free to do so. --Montschok 20:53, 11 August 2010 (EDT)

Padres ride Alonso's HR to 7-6 win over Arizona
SAN DIEGO (AP) — The new Jack Daniel's Old No. 7 deck atop the reconfigured right field wall at Petco Park provides an inviting target.
"It's nice," said Alonso, who hit a go-ahead, two-run homer off Wade Miley in the fifth inning to help the Padres to a 7-6 victory against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday night, San Diego's seventh win in nine games. It was Arizona's fourth straight loss.
Alsono's homer was one of 14 hits for the Padres, the second time they've had that many in three home games. Rookie Jedd Gyorko had his first three-hit game, including two doubles.
"I've sensed us starting to swing the bats better the last couple weeks," manager Bud Black said. "We've broken out a couple different times on a couple different games and it showed tonight again with double-digit hits, some good at-bats, some good walks, some hard contact along the way, a big home run, a couple big swings. I've sensed that."
With the Padres trailing 3-2, Alonso drove a 2-2 pitch from Miley (2-1) into the Jack Daniel's deck in right-center, his fourth. It probably would have been a home run even in Petco Park's old configuration. The fences were moved in 11 feet from the home run porch in the right-field corner to the gap in an attempt to make the downtown ballpark play fairer. Jesus Guzman was aboard on a grounder.
Miley was "locating pretty well early in the game," Alonso said. "I got a good fastball elevated middle in. He got me to foul some pitches inside. I wasn't catching up to it, but then I made a little adjustment."
Miley said he left a pitch up.
"I was trying to get it away and I overthrew it and it stayed middle and he did a good job of hitting it," Miley said. "I was battling a bit. You don't always feel your best every time. But I had some opportunities to get out of it."
The homer made a winner of Jason Marquis (3-2). Marquis allowed three runs and four hits in six innings, struck out five and walked five.
"Jason did his job," Black said. "He hung in there, battled and made some pitches. Actually, his last inning was his best. He's a veteran pitcher with moxie who knows how to work his way through a game."
Huston Street came on with runners on first and second and no outs in the ninth and retired two batters before allowing Gerardo Parra's three-run homer to straightaway center, his second. Street then got Martin Prado to fly out to center for his seventh save in as many chances.
Miguel Montero homered to straightaway center field off Marquis leading off the second, his second.
San Diego took a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the inning on Gyorko's leadoff double and, with two outs, a single by Chris Denorfia and a triple by Everth Cabrera.
The Diamondbacks regained the lead in the fourth on an RBI double by Eric Chavez and a run-scoring groundout by Cliff Pennington.
The Padres added on in the seventh and eighth. Guzman doubled to right-center and scored on Kyle Blanks' single in the seventh. In the eighth, Cabrera's sacrifice bunt brought in a run and Chase Headley hit an RBI double.
Miley, who finished second to Bryce Harper in NL Rookie of the Year balloting last year, allowed four runs and nine hits in five innings, struck out four and walked three.
NOTES: Padres LF Carlos Quentin was in the original lineup but was scratched with a balky right knee. He was replaced by Jesus Guzman. … The series continues Saturday night when Arizona's Patrick Corbin (3-0, 1.91 ERA) opposes Clayton Richard (0-3, 7.94) in a showdown of lefties. Richard is 6-0 in eight career starts against Arizona, including three wins in four starts last year. … Before the game, Headley ran into club executive chairman Ron Fowler and explained why he doesn't want to negotiate a contract extension during the season. Headley said it's been a distraction since Fowler said on Wednesday that the club was prepared to make an offer that would make Headley the highest-paid player in club history.

Washington, DC – A group of Catholic Democrats in the US Congress recently objected to comments of Pope Benedict XVI about the fact that legislators favoring the legality of abortion should not receive Communion. They said, "Advancing respect for life and for the dignity of every human being is, as our church has taught us, our own life's mission."
Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, responded, "Faithful Catholics, as well as those in the pro-life movement from every denomination, have had enough of this double-talk. It is not possible to advance 'respect for life and for the dignity of every human being' while tolerating the dismemberment and decapitation of the human beings still in their mothers' wombs. These legislators do not only contradict their faith; they contradict the very meaning of public service, and should not be in public office any longer. If they cannot muster the will to protect defenseless children, they should resign. We don't need public servants who can't tell the difference between serving the public and killing the public."
Fr. Pavone added that Priests for Life will deliver to the offices of these legislators detailed medical descriptions of the abortion procedures and will challenge them to publicly acknowledge that when they say "abortion," they are talking about the same thing described in those medical texts, that is, the dismemberment and decapitation of tiny humans. Priests for Life will likewise share this information with every Federal and State legislator in the country.
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org

Danny Ellis and Jeff Klauk are in the field of about 156 golf pros who are playing for their future in the PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament Finals starting today at LaQuinta, Calif.
Danny Ellis and Jeff Klauk are in the field of about 156 golf pros who are playing for their future in the PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament Finals starting today at LaQuinta, Calif.
Ellis, a Haines City native who lives at Heathrow, advanced to the Finals by tying for the last qualifying spot in the second-stage tournament at Brooksville Nov. 14-17.
Ellis secured his spot by making three birdies on his back nine the final day at Southern Hills Plantation to tie for 19th. The top 19 and ties advanced.
Klauk, a former NCAA Division II national champion at Florida Southern, also advanced through the second stage but at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas, Nov. 13-16. He tied for 15th with 20 spots and ties available.
Klauk has been sidelined by surgery for seizures, but returned to the course on the Web.com Tour late this season. He has a Major Medical Extension for the PGA Tour next season, needing to earn $578,937 in eight starts. But he can become fully exempt with a top-25 this week.
While Ellis and Klauk, who were both exempt into the second stage, have a chance to earn a tour card, former Mocs Lee Janzen and Marco Dawson of Lakeland fell short in the second-stage event at Brooksville. Janzen tied for 34th at 5-under (72-73-69-69) and Dawson tied for 39th at 4-under (69-71-73-71).
Two players who advanced from the first-stage tournament at Grasslands Oct. 16-19 made it to the Finals — Connor Arendell of Cape Coral and Randall Hutchison of Traverse City, Mich.
Arendell tied for seventh in the second-stage event at Plantation Preserve in Plantation, while Hutchison tied for 12th at Redstone Golf Club in Humble, Texas, Nov. 13-16.
Arendell, a former University of Central Florida golfer, and Hutchison are getting the most of their one-time $4,500 entry fee.
At the Finals at PGA West's TPC Stadium Course and Nicklaus Tournament Course, the top 25 and ties will be fully exempt on the PGA Tour for 2013. The next 25 or so players will be fully exempt on the 2013 Web.com Tour. And the rest of the field will have conditional status on the Web.com Tour.
So there's immense pressure for 108 holes — six rounds in a row today through Monday.
The Golf Channel will have "Golf Central'' specials with highlights after every round, from 8-10 p.m. today, 8-8:30 p.m. and midnight-2 a.m. and 5-7 a.m. on Thursday; Friday through Sunday 8-8:30 p.m., and 8-10 p.m. on Monday. The Golf Channel will also air analysis, features and interviews, as well as a look at the future and history of Q-School.
Jackie Barenborg is competing in the Finals of the LPGA Tour and Symetra Tour Qualifying Tournament today through Sunday at LPGA International in Daytona Beach.

[Marsha hums and scats for the first 17 seconds]
[Intro: Marsha Ambrosius]
I will change the game, one day
Change the game... one day
I got signed to Atlantic Records, 2004
They predicted I'd do a million right out of the door
They said all I had to do was just follow the for-mula
"You does and you gon' be popular boy"
See what they failed to realize is I rhyme for the cause
They got the same mindframe as [?]
Told me they needed a single, who should they call?
I said "Y'all should put me in the stu' with Trey Songz"
Now all along they thinkin we do a song how we bang the girls
I said "Nah lil' nigga, we 'bout to change the world"
And when I turned it in expectin a grin
They gave a nigga this look like "Never again"
And I looked back at them like "Never again"
I love all of you motherfuckers but, just as some friends
I can't do music if it ain't got a message within
I guess y'all could leave that up to the rest of them then
I'm changin the game
[Chorus: Marsha Ambrosius (Saigon)]
I daydream 'bout money and fame (so silly)
I will change the game, one day
It's just a silly game
When everybody knows my name (oh really?)
I will change the game, one day
Change the game, change the game
[Marsha] Change the game
Okay, so now I got the Bentley drop
But on the left side of my chest is a empty spot
I can't lie, these lil' groupies they tempt me a lot
But for me to fall victim I simply could not
Nah nah - I don't brag about the bottles I pop
A lot of y'all are runnin around here with the models I mop
Five years ago when "Entourage" was shot to the top
Surprised she's still skinny, shorty swallows a lot
Ha ha! And ever so often
somebody comes around and delivers great songs without flossin
Without talkin, 'bout shit that isn't important
Like makin a fortune off of somebody snortin
But bein a force is a call to someone in coffin[?]
This is all we doin with hip-hop, we lost them
But we should be ashamed of ourselves
The only people we could blame is ourselves
Who else?
[Marsha Ambrosius (Saigon)]
I didn't dream, to be all I can be
For I am I
My imagination, I can do it all (do it all)
Do just what I want (ha ha!)
I got released from Atlantic Records, 2010
I swear to God it felt like I was gettin out of the pen'
It started off real good, but how will it end?
Will I make it to the top of the tower again?
Will I be on Hot 9 or Power again?
Or will the people just assume that I'm sour within?
I told my +Story+ to 40,000 people
Now it's time for me to get equal, the sequel

Pediatric quality-improvement efforts advance resident education, patient care
Posted Sept. 5, 2012
From screening new mothers for post-partum depression to ensuring that children receive regular dental health check-ups, quality-improvement efforts by residents at UC Davis Children's Hospital have been highly effective at improving both resident education and patient outcomes, a study by pediatric medical education faculty has found.
Over a three-year period and working in teams, residents and faculty were able to apply quality-improvement (QI) principles to design and successfully implement a wide range of projects that resulted in significant improvements in patient care on a range of measures.
The research, "Improving pediatric health-care delivery by engaging residents in team-based quality-improvement projects," is published online in the American Journal of Medical Quality.
"Our trainees and clinical faculty do what they do because they want to make a difference in the lives of children and their families," said Ulfat Shaikh, professor of general pediatrics and director of Healthcare Quality Integration at UC Davis. "But the hard reality is that millions of patients all over the United States experience harm, delays, ineffective treatments, disparities and high costs when they deal with the health-care system."
"Our pediatric trainees are demonstrating that engaging frontline clinicians and trainees in leading quality improvement can help organizations do a better job taking care of their patients," she said.
"Our pediatric trainees are demonstrating that engaging frontline clinicians and trainees in leading quality improvement can help organizations do a better job taking care of their patients."
— Ulfat Shaikh
The study was conducted to analyze best practices for fulfilling Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education requirements for residency programs to "ensure that residents are integrated and actively participate in interdisciplinary clinical quality-improvement and patient safety programs."
The researchers found that a focused curriculum was effective, within the constraints of resident work hours, based on three years of education and refinement. In addition to Shaikh, the study's other authors are Joanne Natale, professor of critical-care medicine in the Department of Pediatrics; Su-Ting T. Li, associate professor and residency program director in the Department of Pediatrics; and statistician Jasmine Nettiksimmons.
At the outset of the study, the faculty curriculum development team examined residents' experiences with QI programs through use of a Web-based assessment tool. Only 11 percent of trainees stated they had experience with quality improvement.
To address this gap in experience, the quality-improvement development team developed an approach that included:
- Didactic training on key quality-improvement concepts
- Working in interprofessional teams
- Faculty and peer mentoring
- Selecting topics aligned with institutional priorities
- Designing and implementing QI projects
- Disseminating QI projects to leadership
At the conclusion of the three-year period, the residents had successfully been engaged in applying QI methodology to identify gaps in clinical practice and designing projects to improve the quality of care delivered. The highest level of comfort with applying key QI concepts was experienced by residents in their first year of exposure to QI curricula. During the last year of the curriculum, senior residents mentored interns during their second and third years of QI curricula exposure.
The QI projects included:
- Increasing documentation of primary-care provider contact information on admission to the pediatric ward
- Reducing wait time for language interpretation services in the pediatric clinic
- Increasing implementation of the vitamin D recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics
- Improving screening new mothers for postpartum depression in the pediatric clinic
- Increasing the number of children who receive home-management care plans at hospital discharge
- Increasing the rate of administration of human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine in the pediatric clinic
- Increasing developmental screening in the hospital-based pediatric teaching clinic
- Increasing developmental screening in a community clinic serving the underserved
- Improving patient flow in the pediatric clinic by reducing lead time (total length of time spent by patients in the clinic)
"Given the importance of equipping future physicians with QI skills, curricula such as the one we described can be feasible and effective. Because residents play major roles in clinical care within academic health centers, education in QI focused on redesigning care delivery systems may help them understand and support these systems while in residency and beyond," the study said.

text: Local residents state that months ago, Gilmer County Judge, Dean Fowler was asked to find other office space and to move out of the offices owned by area Attorney Matthew Patton. Local residents state that Fowler had participated in questionable activities and Patton wanted to distance himself from Fowler. Fowler later was involved in a Grand Jury indictment for official suppression and other charges as well as had been the local media clown on area television and newspaper articles for his kangaroo court activities that involve the judge name calling county commissioners, overpaying an area attorney with tax money for duplicate expense reports, etc. amongst other activities that are beneath the maturity and experience level of a person in the county judge position, especially one that is suppose to be a licensed attorney.

Donovan McNabb and Brian Westbrook returned to practice today, according to several of their Eagles teammates. The quarterback and running back had been out with injuries. The Eagles returned to practice today after the bye week off.
McNabb sat out the last two games with a fractured rib. He suffered the injury in the opener against the Panthers. It's fairly safe to say that his practicing today means he will be able to start Sunday's game against Tampa Bay. Backup Kevin Kolb performed admirably in McNabb's absence, losing to the Saints but coming back to beat Kansas City.
McNabb declined to comment. He is scheduled to meet with the media on Wednesday, as is coach Andy Reid.
Westbrook missed last week's game against the Chiefs because of an ankle sprain. He didn't practice the week leading up to the game and was listed as doubtful. LeSean McCoy filled in for Westbrook and ran for 85 yards and a TD. Even before the injury, Westbrook had gotten off to a slow start in the first two games.
He was unavailable for comment.
Kevin Curtis said he practiced today. The wide receiver didn't play against the Chiefs because of a knee sprain.
Todd Herremans was able to walk around today without the assistance of a scooter. The guard, who has been out all season with a stress facture in his foot, is scheduled to meet with doctors today. He said the doctor could give the OK to lose the boot that has been protecting his left foot. Herremans said that a return by the Washington game on Oct. 26 is still very much in the cards. He hopes to be back by the Oakland game the week prior.
Quintin Demps (hamstring) said that he's back practicing, too. The backup safety has been out since the opener.
Jeremiah Trotter, meanwhile, had his first practice with the team since returning to the Eagles last week. The linebacker said that he was splitting first team reps with Omar Gaither on run downs. Gaither was unavailable for comment.
Trotter has his old locker stall and his old number back. He got the No. 54 from Tracy White (who now wears No. 52) and the stall from J. Leman, a practice squad linebacker.
The players have off tomorrow and will resume preparations for the Bucs on Wednesday.

Get DVD Talk Feeds
What's the #1 title on your "Most Wanted" list? Was it Star
Wars? The Godfather trilogy? The Matrix? All those
releases came and went, and sure, I was glad to see them, but they
were just somewhere in the top 10 of my personal Most Wanted list.
Firmly lodged in the #1 slot for years has been one show that's the
epitome of great comedy – of great television, in fact –
a show about... nothing. In a word: Seinfeld.
So it was with greedy delight that I tore off the shrink-wrap on the
first volume of my personal Holy Grail of DVD. (It was in my house
for a whole five minutes or so before the first disc went into the
DVD player.) And there I was, feet propped up on the coffee table,
laughing my head off at the most brilliant comedy ever to make its
way to television. It doesn't matter that I've seen these episodes
half a dozen times already, and can anticipate all the jokes; they're
still just as flat-out hilarious as the very first time I saw them.
Maybe they're even funnier, since my viewing experience is balanced
between delighted enjoyment of the episode and delightful
anticipation of what's to come.
Is there anyone reading this review who doesn't know what Seinfeld
is about? Well, there were a few people who hadn't seen Star Wars
before it came to DVD, so maybe there are a few deprived souls who've
never seen Seinfeld. (You're in for a treat.) In a nutshell,
Seinfeld is about the lives of a handful of rather neurotic
characters: Jerry Seinfeld (playing himself), George Costanza (Jason
Alexander), Elaine Benes (Julia Louis-Dreyfus),
and Kramer (Michael Richards). But these characters don't have
"adventures" in the typical television way. Instead, they
run into all sorts of difficulties just trying to manage their
romantic relationships, friendships, and just life in general.
Part of the genius of Seinfeld is that it pokes fun at the
bizarre nature of daily life: all the little contradictions and
absurdities that we put up with, all the uncertainty and potential
for disaster that lurks beneath even the simplest human relationship
(doubly so for romantic relationships). The fact that two of the
characters (Jerry and George) are tremendously insecure only broadens
the range of potential targets for the show's humor, as they bring
into focus all the little things that we better-adjusted (we hope)
folks secretly obsess about or bluff our way through. Whether it's
interpreting a vague phone call from a potential girlfriend ("Good
News, Bad News"), disentangling oneself from an unwanted
friendship ("Male Unbonding"), offending an elderly
relative ("The Pony Remark"), or dealing with a fashion faux
pas ("The Jacket"), Seinfeld gives us permission to laugh
our heads off at the utter absurdity that's lurking below the surface
in everyday life.
But another element of Seinfeld's brilliance is its writing,
which is spot-on. Having the main character be a comedian certainly
opens the door to a lot of wisecracks and witty remarks in the
episodes, but it wouldn't work unless those remarks were genuinely
funny. And they are. Combine the great humor in the dialogue with the
brilliantly absurd plots, and voila! Seinfeld is born.
The first two seasons of Seinfeld contain a surprising number
of great episodes. Why surprising? Because it's just amazing that a
show that ended up being the greatest comedy series of all time (in
this reviewer's not-so-humble opinion) got it right from the
beginning... and then got even better in later seasons.
Seinfeld starts out on a solid note with the first few
episodes, including the pilot. While Seinfeld fans will amuse
themselves by noticing the elements that are inconsistent with the
later episodes (Jerry's apartment looks different, and Kramer is
described as the guy who never leaves the apartment building), the
overall feel of the show is spot-on. In fact, all four of the Season
1 episodes are excellent. What's not to like about an episode like
"The Stakeout," in which (among other things) we are
witness to the invention of George's alter ego, Art Vandelay (and his
import/export business)?
Season 2 is also fairly short, with only 13 episodes, but they're
very good indeed. "The Pony Remark" is perhaps the best of
this season, with Jerry accidentally offending an elderly guest at a
dinner party (with interesting consequences). George lives up to his
reputation as incompetent in dealing with women in "The Phone
Message," and Elaine starts to experience some job problems in
"The Statue." Speaking of employment troubles, "The
Revenge" is the start of many great episodes focusing on
George's troubles with finding (and keeping) a job; here, he's in a
tizzy because he's been demoted to using the regular bathroom at
work. "The Apartment" is a prime example of how an episode
can be about "nothing" and yet be extremely funny. What
happens here? Kramer experiments with using mousse in his hair,
George tries to meet women, Jerry considers what it would be like to
have Elaine take an apartment in his building. You wouldn't think
that's prime material for a comedy show, would you? But it's not what
the episodes are about (nothing!) but how they're told that counts.
About the only episode that doesn't really live up to its promise is
"The Chinese Restaurant," although this one seems to be a
fan favorite; personally, I think its static nature makes it feel a
bit forced.
Seinfeld certainly hit the ground running, but that's not to
say that the series feels exactly the same in these early seasons as
in the later seasons. Logically enough, in Seasons 1 and 2 Seinfeld
is still developing: fleshing out the main characters and developing
secondary characters who would add so much to the series later on.
The writers also haven't quite fully realized the potential for more
complex plots in each episode: these earlier episodes tend to focus
on one story thread in each episode. One result is that we get more,
and longer, segments of Jerry's stand-up comedy, sometimes intercut
into the middle of the episode as well as at the beginning. Of
course, considering how funny his material is, that's not much of a
drawback... we can enjoy the lighter structure of these episodes
while looking forward to the more tightly constructed later episodes
that draw all of their humor from within the story world.
I'll go ahead and list the episodes that are included in this set:
the names may jog a few more memories and remind you why this set is
worth buying. All the episodes are the full-length, original
episodes, not the slightly shorter syndicated versions. Note that the
episodes are presented in production order, not by air date. This
means that "The Stranded," which was produced in the second
season but not aired until the third season, appears here in the
second season. Episodes with commentary tracks are listed in bold.
Season 1 (1990)
Season 2 (1991)
I quite like the packaging for Seinfeld. The set's four DVDs
each have a super-slim plastic keepcase, and these four cases fit
into a glossy paperboard slipcase, with another paper slipcover
fitting over the whole thing. It looks stylish, it doesn't take up
too much space, and it's easy to access the discs.
I'm not so thrilled about the menus. Cleverly designed, sure...
user-friendly, not entirely. Spoiler clips play on the main menu
screen, and the menus themselves are decidedly slow to navigate. On
the bright side, though, all the features are clearly labeled and
logically arranged. I also appreciated the liberal use of the "play
all" feature, for the special features as well as the episodes.
Seinfeld appears in its original aspect ratio of 1.33:1.
Considering that these episodes are about 14 years old (how time
flies...) at this point, the transfer looks respectable, though not
as good as I'd have hoped for it to look. The image is bright and
generally free of flaws, though a few speckles make their way onto
the picture; the level of detail is satisfactory, and contrast is
handled well. Colors are very bright and vibrant, with primary colors
sometimes even verging on the too-vivid end of the scale. Depending
on the scene, a moderate amount of edge enhancement is apparent; some
grain also appears. All in all, it's a satisfactory transfer.
The Dolby 2.0 soundtrack presents the show in a pleasingly clean,
crisp manner. For a show with such an emphasis on verbal wit and
byplay, clear dialogue is essential, and the soundtrack handles it
very well. The Seinfeld theme music is nicely balanced with
the main part of the track, and the laugh track is not too obtrusive.
A substantial amount of bonus material is included in this
set, spread across all four discs. Here's a breakdown of what we get:
Two of the episodes on this disc have different play options. The
pilot can be played in its original version, with the "old"
theme music (this is the default) or in the revised-for-syndication
version, which replaces the music with the same theme that's used in
the later episodes. "The Stakeout" has the option to view
it with a short introductory clip from Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Jerry
When it comes to actual bonus content, we start out with a commentary
track for "The Stakeout," with Jerry Seinfeld and
co-creator Larry David. Seinfeld and David provide a reasonable level
of commentary for the episode, though it's clear that it's a little
difficult for them to provide a lot of details for a 14-year-old
episode. Speaking of commentaries, the "Notes about Nothing"
feature toggles on a text commentary track that provides various bits
of trivia about the episodes in the form of subtitles. The Notes
about Nothing are available for all the episodes, and provide a few
interesting snippets of information. They can be selected from the
episode menus, the special features menu, or on the fly by using the
subtitles button.
Probably of most interest on this disc is the set of "Inside
Looks": short segments that use interviews with cast and crew to
look behind the scenes for a particular episode. These can be
selected individually, or viewed with a "play all" feature
from the special features menu. Running about 14 minutes in total, we
get segments on the pilot, "Male Unbonding,""The
Stakeout," and "The Robbery."
Commentary tracks for "The Busboy" (Louis-Dreyfus,
Alexander, Richards) and "The Baby Shower" (writer Larry
Charles) appear on this disc. While Charles' commentary is reasonably
interesting, the cast commentary is rather disappointing. The actors
don't seem to have much to say, and there are long periods of
silence. In general, while they try to stir up some banter, it tends
to fall flat, and their commentary is neither particularly
informative nor funny.
Moving on to more satisfying special features, we get a seven-minute
segment of exclusive stand-up comedy from Jerry Seinfeld ("Master
of His Domain"), and the "Inside Looks" section offers
12 minutes of interesting behind-the-scene information on "The
Pony Remark," "The Busboy," "The Baby Shower,"
and "The Jacket."
Two deleted scenes are included here as well (6 minutes), along with
the "Notes about Nothing" feature.
On this disc, viewers have the option to play "The Stranded"
with a very short introductory clip from Jerry Seinfeld, which was
originally created to explain the out-of-continuity nature of this
second-season episode when it was broadcast as part of the third
The "Inside Looks" section continues to be of interest,
with a total of 12 minutes of material on "The Chinese
Restaurant," "The Phone Message," "The
Apartment," and "The Statue." A 13-minute bloopers
section has the merit of being reasonably funny, and viewers will be
interested in the deleted scene from "The Chinese Restaurant"
(1 minute). Once again, we also get "Notes about Nothing"
options for all episodes.
The best special feature of the set appears here: a very interesting
64-minute making-of documentary called "How It Began." This
three-part program (which has a "play all" feature)
features interviews with a number of different people involved in the
creation of Seinfeld, starting back when Seinfeld was a young
stand-up comedian with no television aspirations.
Three commentary tracks appear here as well. "The Heart Attack"
with writer Larry Charles is not bad, but once again the commentary
by Louis-Dreyfus, Alexander, and Richards for "The Revenge"
is rather bland and uninteresting. Fortunately, the commentary on
"The Deal" by Seinfeld and David is a lot more lively and
For more behind-the-scenes insights, we get 11 minutes of "Inside
Looks" for "The Revenge" and "The Deal." A
5-minute deleted scene for "The Heart Attack" is also
included. "Notes about Nothing" are available for all the
episodes as well.
This disc also features both the original and syndicated versions of
"The Revenge," with the difference being that in the original version, Larry David supplies the telephone voice of Newman, while in the syndicated version it's replaced by Wayne Knight's voice to correspond with the rest of the series.
For miscellaneous special features, we get a 19-minute compilation of
"The Tonight Show" appearances: a 1981 and 1990 appearance
by Seinfeld, and a 1989 appearance by Michael Richards. There's a
four-minute segment of NBC promos for the series, a Spiderman 2
trailer (yeah, that's relevant), and a photo gallery.
So now
we've got the first two seasons of Seinfeld available... what
are you waiting for? This is a classic comedy series, and one that
has proved to be amazingly long-lasting and re-watchable. Could you
catch some episodes of Seinfeld as re-runs on TV instead of
buying the DVDs? Sure... but there's nothing that compares to being
able to watch the episodes when you want to, as many times as you
want to, in the right order, without commercials or edits for
syndication. The sound quality is great, and the image looks quite
respectable as well (if not quite as clean as I'd have liked). The
bonus material is nothing to sneeze at, either: Seinfeld fans
will be delighted by the behind-the-scenes and never-before-seen
material that's assembled here. Seinfeld: Seasons 1 & 2 gets a
very robust "highly recommended."

A relative of Melanie Reyes, the young woman who shot and killed her 6-month-old son before turning the gun on herself, said that in the end, her stepdaughter saved seven lives through organ donation.
A relative of Melanie Reyes, the young woman who shot and killed her 6-month-old son before turning the gun on herself, said that in the end, her stepdaughter saved seven lives through organ donation.
Nidia Reyes said family members will be taking the body of Reyes, 20, to New York. She would not reveal any details about a funeral or burial.
"She did donate seven organs to save seven lives," she said in a very brief interview.
On Jan. 4, Melanie Reyes shot her son, Jonah Mendoza, twice in the chest with a 9mm handgun and then shot herself in the head at the northwest Ocala home she shared with family members.
Reyes, who was pregnant, was removed from life support on Tuesday.
On Jan. 4, Reyes posted on her Facebook page that she was having some problems, was not trusting people and was arguing with people, was having to deal with the courts and was going to end her son's life as well as her own.
Reyes was involved in a custody dispute with Jordan Mendoza, the father of Jonah.
The father of her unborn child, Marcelino Febo, told an investigator they had planned to go to an abortion clinic on Jan. 5 and that he was returning to his native Australia.
Reyes was arrested in December on a charge of aggravated battery in which Febo was the alleged victim.
Soon after Reyes created the online post, authorities were alerted by relatives and friends and deputies went to the home to conduct a wellness check, but she shot her son and herself before they could make contact with her.
The funeral for Jonah will begin at 11 a.m. Saturday at Wyomina Park Baptist Church at 1411 NE 14th Ave., followed by a graveside service at Good Shepherd Memorial Gardens at 5050 SW 20th St. Mourners are invited to then return to the church for fellowship.
A PayPal account has been set up to assist Jordan Mendoza with expenses for the funeral and burial of his son and, in addition, a fundraiser will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Sunday at AMF Galaxy West, 1818 SW 17th St., Ocala. More information can be obtained by calling Sierra Hutton at 817-3020 or Amanda Lucas at 502-5109, who together organized a vigil held Thursday night for Jonah.

I'm so excited to receive the menu's. I've always said that if someone would plan the menus and make out my grocery list, making dinner for my family would be fun! Grocery shopping was actually fun this afternoon. I feel good about what my family will be eating this week. I'm about to make the tuna casserole!
Dear Leanne,
I just wanted you to know how great and how great an impact your efforts are having on our family. Dinnertime is so much more predictable. There are scrumptious leftovers. The pantry is stocked with actually useable foods. I am calmer. Dinner is 99% easier. THANK YOU!
Hi Leanne,
I can't thank you enough for this great ministry. We are all enjoying eating a new variety of things and it's so nice not to have to figure it out each week. We watched you on QVC and I ordered a cookbook. You did a wonderful job. Thanks so much. I'm so thankful to have found you. God Bless You,
I LOVE Menu-Mailer! Everything was so easy for me this week. Asian beef and broccoli was a big hit with my family and we will definitely make it again. I love the make-up of your menus. Your recipes are easy to follow and delicious. Thanks for this wonderful bargain!
Yup, last week was my first week. Okay, comments. There are only two of us, but your stuff is very freezeable. Great! So we eat half and freeze the other half. I don't have a dutch oven, so I improvised and made the mexican steak recipe in the crockpot, veggies in first, meat after browning, then sauce. WOW! It was good. But yesterday, the ziti w/veggies and goat cheese, it won't make it to the freezer. I will NEVER loose weight with food this good! Well, DH and I are thrilled with the increase in our veggies, grains and good balance of the rest. And now I'm making a salad daily since I have time and am not stressing over the rest of the meal. You are GREAT! The $10 was saved in the first shopping trip, by me not buying additional junk I didn't need, and fresh veggies are cheaper than processed meals, etc. Well, keep up the good work! 🙂
California Mom
Just a "thank you" for the whole "Menu Mailer" concept! I REALLY appreciate it!!!! All of the recipes are great — and I like the fact that so many fresh, whole foods are incorporated….I was in a rut of meat and a starch for a long time because I couldn't concentrate on figuring out how to use more veggies. In short, I was uninspired! But now, I am inspired with each new dinner-fixing time, because I am fixing something new and different every day, and it is all so quick and EASY!!!No thinking required! Ahhhhhhh!!!! I especially loved the "raspberry balsamic chicken" — very elegant, and sooooo simple! And the "easy lasagne" is so great — No Cooking the noodles first!!! Wow!!! My husband loved it!!!! I feel like a gourmet chef every day, and dinner (and grocery shopping) has turned from dol-drums to "I feel good about myself today". I can't thank you enough. Keep up the good work!!!!
Hi Leanne,
I came home late last Friday from a very hectic week at work to the delicious aroma of Enchilasagna…my husband had seen the shopping list and the recipies on the counter and decided to take it upon himself to make dinner!! This from a man who's idea of cooking is Beef with Salt! I think this speaks volumes about the very wonderful service that you have offered to us… thanks so much!
Dear Leanne,
Just wanted to let you know how Menu Mailer has improved my life…We are a household of 2 adults, both working full time jobs, no kids, so meals 'should' be easy. Right? WRONG!!! Since the menu mailer has come into our lives:
- *We have cut our fast food consumption by about 80%
- *I have cut grocery shopping time by at least 80%
- *I don't buy food that looks good in the store, but ends up spoiling because I have no real plan for it*I'm out of the same-old-thing for dinner rut*I'm feeling good about taking control of our nutrition, and cutting out the artificial garbage from processed food.
Your recipes are versatile enough to be cut in half, or eaten as another entire meal. So, I'm cooking 2-3 times a week, and having a ready-made meal waiting for the other days. The variety of flavors, many of which I'd never considered putting together before, have been wonderful.
Best of all, we don't spend an hour playing the "what do you want to do for dinner game." "What do you want?" "I don't care, what do you want?" and on and on until we end up running out to grab something quick, mediocre, and unfulfilling. So, you don't need to have a big family to find huge rewards from the menu mailer.
Thank you for the difference you've made in my life.
Amazing…I finished my Plateau Buster week….I am motivated and energized and HOPEFUL! I have been trying forever to get below 165lbs and I HAVE. 6 solid lbs. Not water weight because I have been slurping away On to the LWL program. THANK YOU THANK YOU. It was hard for me but the snacking brekkie & lunch ideas are really do-able. Not just water weight either as I have been slurping away and my MD is going to be astounded when I show up next week so much lighter. I have had a light-bulb thingy I have to eat a different way forever, it's not a diet it's a Food Change! Much love and thanks.

Department to release District Readiness Tool
Common Core professional development now what? The South Dakota Department of Education will be hosting a meeting for curriculum directors and principals on Feb. 7 in Fort Pierre to offer them a chance to interact with a draft Common Core District Readiness Tool.
The tool is designed to help guide districts through implementing the Common Core Standards. The goal of the tool is to identify steps and decisions districts can be take or consider outside of sending their teachers to professional development. A few of the steps/decisions identified in the planning tool are: review current resources and supplemental materials for alignment to the new standards; discuss the option to implement standards-based report cards; develop a district curriculum and assessment plan.
The Readiness tool is a conversation starter and planning tool used by a leadership team. The tool will help districts plan over the next three years to create a Common Core implementation timeline. Full implementation of Common Core cannot take place in one single year. Upon creating an implementation plan districts can plan for financial needs, inservices, implementation of new programs or structures, etc.
The District Readiness tool will allow districts to have local conversations and paint a picture of where theyre at and next steps or decisions they could take, said Becky Nelson, Curriculum Administrator with the Department of Education.
Contact Becky Nelson for more information.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Initial reviews of Ohio's lengthiest execution during which an inmate repeatedly gasped found no reason to change the way the state puts condemned prisoners to death.
The reviews, required by Ohio's prison rules, found that the state's execution policy was followed and the execution and medical team members did what they were supposed to.
The findings are important because the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction is under strict instructions from a federal judge to stick to its written policies, last updated in October.
Ohio also is planning a longer review of Dennis McGuire's Jan. 16 execution looking more closely at what happened during the procedure.
McGuire's 26-minute execution was the longest since Ohio resumed putting inmates to death in 1999. His family is suing, saying it was cruel and inhumane.
"I find no reason for revision of policy for future executions," Joseph Andrews, an independent reviewer of the execution, said in a Jan. 27 memo.
"The process worked very well," Donald Morgan, warden of the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility, where Ohio's death chamber is located, said in his report.
McGuire was executed for the 1989 rape and stabbing death of Joy Stewart, 22, a recently married pregnant woman in western Ohio.
The results of the reviews were first reported by The Dayton Daily News.
Lawyers representing Gregory Lott, scheduled to die March 19 for a 1986 arson death, are suing to stop that execution based on what happened to McGuire.
McGuire, 53, made repeated snorting sounds and opened and shut his mouth several times during his execution by a never-tried drug combo. He appeared to be unconscious during that time.

Gemma Arterton broke Famke's ribs
Gemma Arterton broke Famke Janssen's ribs while shooting their new movie.
The pair star together in 'Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters' and the the 27-year-old actress was shocked when she realised the damage she had caused her co-star during filming of the fantasy action adventure.
She said: ''I cracked Famke's ribs in a fight [scene] we did. ''She didn't tell me at the time, she was very good about it. Afterwards she said, 'You broke my rib!' Things like that happen.''
Gemma - who stars in the film with Jeremy Renner, playing adult versions of the classic fairytale characters who have grown up to become bounty hunters - didn't escape filming unscathed, and admits she was ''bruised and battered'' as a result of putting her all into scenes - and relied on pain reliever Arnica to get her through the physical aspects of the movie.
She added in an interview with DigitalSpy: ''I remember just overdosing on it. Even if you're just doing a punch, your neck can get thrown out. It was sort of a gauge of how hard you worked that day if you couldn't move the next day!''

There are many interesting blog posts by industry analysts providing tips to the analyst relations (AR) community on how best to interact with the analyst. This is very useful information for AR professionals, both to improve their AR execution, but also to get insights into their analysts.
For awhile, SageCircle has kept a running list of links to these suggestions in a blog post originally published in early February and then updated periodically. The problem is that this particular post is not easy to find unless you knew to look for it. Starting today we have elevated this information into a "Page" called Analyst Tips for AR. A Page is a non-dated post and always shows up in the "Pages" box, which we have at the top of the left navigation bar. A feature of this Page will be a list of updates. This should make it easier for SageCircle readers to keep up with the tips and tricks that the analysts are offering.
In today's rather large update we have added 14 34 suggestions from three nine analysts. However, because we got a bit behind in updating the list, there are going to be new links added throughout Continue reading

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — The giant slayer isn't quite ready for his close up.
For the three days since Dave Brat took down House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in the GOP primary Tuesday, he's been holed up in his suburban home, avoiding the reporters and TV trucks waiting out front. While the world wants to know more about the economics professor turned sudden tea party star, Brat's in hiding, apparently unprepared for the tempest he unleashed.
"I need a few days to decompress after that election," Brat told a CNN crew when he briefly emerged Thursday to get a haircut.
In a text message to The Associated Press, Brat said he was not doing any public appearances and had "shut down for a week with the family." On election night, the 49-year-old said he was looking forward to a steak dinner with his wife to make up for having celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary while on the campaign trail.
Brat is set to square off against Democrat Jack Trammell, who like Brat teaches at the tiny Randolph-Macon College just north of Richmond, in the general election. Virginia's 7th District leans heavily Republican and went for Republican Mitt Romney over President Barack Obama by 57 percent to 42 percent in 2012.
From home, Brat has done several media interviews by phone but has mostly tried to steer clear of policy issues.
"Hey Chuck, I thought we were just going to chat today about the celebratory aspect," Brat said Tuesday in an interview with MSNBC's Chuck Todd when asked about his position on sending arms to Syria.
Brat said he's receiving media inquiries from all over the world, including from China and Saudi Arabia.
The campaign brought on a new spokeswoman, Rachel Semmel, after Tuesday's win to help manage the situation.
"Right now, I'm only speaking off the record," said Semmel, a former spokeswoman for Arizona Congressman David Schweikert.
A statement sent to the media on Friday — attributed only to an unnamed campaign spokeswoman — said Brat would be spending Father's Day weekend with his family at home and would release a schedule of events on Monday.
Brat's retreat from the national spotlight underscores how few people — including, apparently, the candidate — saw Tuesday's victory coming. The father of two was viewed by virtually everyone as a longshot to dethrone Cantor, who had raised nearly $5 million for the campaign compared to $200,000 raised by Brat.
He had only two paid campaign staffers. Campaign manager, Zachary Werrell, is a 23-year-old who had only managed a Virginia state house campaign before helping Brat win. After the election, Werrell joked that he has a better win percentage than famed GOP political consultant Karl Rove.
"It really is a modern-day miracle, there really is no other way to describe it," Brat said shortly after trouncing Cantor by more than 11 percentage points.
Stephen J. Farnsworth, a political science professor at the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Va., said as a virtual unknown Brat doesn't have the luxury of disappearing for a few days to catch his breath.
"This is an important opportunity to introduce yourself to the entire country and it's important not to waste it," said Farnsworth. "In politics, if you do not define yourself you will be defined by others, and that's never a more favorable option."
Indeed, Virginia Democratic Party spokesman Ashley Bauman said Brat's comments, both past and future, will come under heavy scrutiny.
"For the next few months we're going to examine his extreme rhetoric and ideology and let voters know where he stands," Bauman said. She said the Democratic Party will emphasize Brat as a tea partyer, a label Brat has shied away from.
Brat campaigned heavily against "amnesty" for immigrants who are living in the U.S. illegally and positioned himself as a free-market champion.
National media outlets and left-leaning publications spent Wednesday combing through Brat's Ph.D. dissertation, academic papers and past speeches. Much of his writings focus on the intersection between economics and philosophy. A 2011 paper by Brat in which he worries about a Hitler-like dictator rising to power again received heavy attention.
So far, it doesn't look like Brat will be getting much help, either in terms of money or public relations assistance, from D.C.-based groups and national Republicans.
"At this point David Brat is well-positioned to win his seat in November. Should that change, and should there be the need, we will provide support," said ForAmerica Chairman Brent Bozell, a conservative leader who advises several tea party groups.

Week 5 in the NFL had its fair share of surprises — and maybe the game of the year.
New England suffered its first loss of the season, 13-6, to Cincinnati. Seattle, too, dropped its first game of the year, 34-28, to Indianapolis. The New York Giants — just two seasons removed from a Super Bowl crown — remained winless at 0-5 with a one-sided defeat against Philadelphia.
But perhaps the biggest thrills came during Denver's game at Dallas. Peyton Manning kept up his torrid pace, throwing four TD passes as the Broncos won 51-48 on a field goal as time expired.
Here's a look at the day's action in photos.

I am a brand new Dish subscriber converting from Spectrum cable and DirecTV and am hoping to get some help. I moved over in order to be able to view all of my channels and DVR content when I travel. However, I am not able to get the Dish Anywhere app to function properly for this purpose. I've called DISH technical support and they've been unable to help.
I have a Hopper 3 hooked up to the internet. When the technician installed the box on Sunday, he downloaded the most recent software. I am getting great upload speeds of 150 Mbps per the Dish representative who logged into my Hopper 3. I am able to access the DVR just fine and see my recordings (although as a side note it was showing someone else's recordings when I logged in through a computer last night but it eventually corrected itself to my recordings). However, when I play a recording, it works for the first 30 seconds to several minutes, but eventually, the picture gets stuck with a circling icon on it. The app and Samsung S8+ Android phone still works otherwise just fine, but the content never gets past the cycling. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app. This buffering issue also happens when watching live programming. However, it does not seem to happen with On Demand content. I've tried the Dish Anywhere app at work where we have great download speeds and also at another location, but the result with content from my DVR is the same - buffering that causes you to get stuck permanently. Even if you move back to an earlier part of the program that you previously watched, it will not resume playing no matter how longyou wait. I sometimes get the video quality message. I also don't have problems with streaming using the Spectrum cable app (although the image quality can vary some).
Any suggestions from the community or DISH on how to fix this?
Hi Tarheel Traveler. We do have buffering /freezing on live TV/DVR content listed as a known issue on Android devices. The last update was supposed to correct this but the issue remained. We do hope that this can be resolved soon so our customers can enjoy the app!

released Thursday by Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz may help explain why the investigation of Hillary Clinton's emails and the probe of the Donald Trump campaign team's possible ties to Russia appear to bleed into each other.
The IG report, titled "Review of Various Actions by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Department of Justice in Advance of the 2016 Election," details the FBI's investigation and eventual closure of the case regarding Clinton's use of a private, non-government email account, and her private server. The report devotes particular attention to former FBI director James Comey's July 5, 2016 statement exonerating Hillary Clinton from criminal wrongdoing in her handling of classified intelligence.
The report, according to its executive summary, looked at the changes FBI leadership made in several drafts of Comey's statement. In particular, it focused on "a paragraph summarizing the factors that led the FBI to assess that it was possible that hostile actors accessed Clinton's server . . . and at one point referenced Clinton's use of her private email for an exchange with then President Obama while in the territory of a foreign adversary."
Horowitz's report is referring to a draft of Comey's speech dated June 30, 2016, at 9:50 a.m., which states:
[Clinton] also used her personal email extensively while outside the United States, including from the territory of sophisticated adversaries. That use included an email exchange with the President while Secretary Clinton was on the territory of such an adversary. Given that combination of factors, we assess it is possible that hostile actors gained access to Secretary Clinton's personal email.
In the draft circulated at 4:24 p.m. the same day, the reference to the president, as the IG report remarks, "was changed to 'another senior government official,' and ultimately was omitted."
