SALEM, Ore. (AP) — A Salem hospital says it is reviewing the facts behind a decision not to inform police that a missing 81-year-old man was safe in the hospital while friends and police spent two days searching for him.
Salem Hospital spokesman Mark Glyzewski told The Associated Press on Friday that, if contacted by law enforcement, the hospital's policy is to say whether a patient is there. And if a patient is identified as a missing person, the hospital's practice is to call police themselves, he said.
Glyzewski would not comment directly on the case of Thomas Dill, who was the subject of a search this week after friends noticed he wasn't home and called police.
Officers contacted area hospitals to see whether Dill was a patient, and Salem Hospital officials wouldn't say, citing the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, known as HIPAA, the Statesman Journal reported (http://stjr.nl/10gRVFZ).
An anonymous tipster eventually told police that Dill was in Salem Hospital, and Dill has since been transferred to an adult care facility, the newspaper reported.
"It gets complex under HIPAA," Glyzewski said. "But if it's law enforcement, that opens up other avenues. If we are contacted by law enforcement, we are allowed to say the person is here.
"On the flip side, if we see a report that someone is missing, we would proactively contact law enforcement."
Glyzewski declined to say whether that policy was followed in Dill's case. But he noted the hospital is reviewing, "moment by moment," the sequence of events that led to the officials' decision not to inform the police of the man's presence.
Police say the case illustrates a difficulty officers can encounter when somebody goes missing.
"It's a cumbersome law," Salem Police Lt. Steve Birr said. "... One of the difficult things is that we have people with mental illnesses, and they could end up in a mental health facility, and you would never know it, and they would never tell you."
Friends called police Monday after noticing Dill wasn't at their apartment complex. Police were not worried about Dill's mental health, but because he is diabetic they were concerned about the possibility that he experienced a medical emergency.
Hospital spokeswoman Sherryll Hoar told the Journal she couldn't speak about the specifics of Dill's case, but she said the hospital's HIPAA compliance officer is willing to talk with police about "whether we should have released that information or not."
Birr doesn't think the hospital was being adversarial, but he said knowing Dill was a patient would have saved taxpayer dollars and spared Dill's friends anxiety. The search's costs weren't immediately known.
Congress passed HIPAA in 1996, and its privacy rules were implemented in 2003. Health care providers such as hospitals can release limited information to police, but only in certain circumstances, such as when doctors suspect child abuse or a person is the subject of a criminal investigation. Civil fines can reach $25,000, and criminal fines $250,000.

Lady Bucs hope to bounce back after heartbreaking loss at Jacksonville
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Feb. 25, 2013) – After dropping an overtime heartbreaker at Jacksonville a few days prior, ETSU looks to put this loss behind it and continue its preparation for the Atlantic Sun Championship when it faces the North Florida Ospreys on Monday, Feb. 25, at 7 p.m. inside UNF Arena.
Getting the bad taste of their mouths will be a tough, but necessary, challenge for the Lady Bucs who let one get away inside Veterans Memorial Arena. Though the narrative was a disappointing one, a few bright sides were present on the offensive end of the contest for ETSU with a season-high 54 points in the paint and the presence of four double-figure scorers for only the third time this season. To find success against North Florida, the Blue and Gold must take better care of the ball after committing 24 miscues against Jacksonville, as well as play cleaner defense after letting the Dolphins get to the free throw a season-high 47 times.
The matchup between the Lady Bucs and the Ospreys will be the 16th all-time meeting between the two schools, a series in which ETSU leads with a 10-5 overall series advantage. ETSU and UNF met earlier this season in Johnson City where the Ospreys topped the Lady Bucs, 62-56. In this recent contest, the Blue and Gold unsuccessfully relied on the outside shot and saw UNF go on a 9-5 burst in the final 2:30 to seal the game.
For more on Monday's game, read the game notes below. For more on ETSU women's basketball throughout the 2012-13 season, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the women's hoops link.
The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics would like to ask both the print and broadcast media to honor our request to be called "ETSU" throughout the 2012-13 season ... East Tennessee State in first reference is acceptable, but subsequent references should be ETSU ... On TV graphics, please use ETSU ... Our nickname is the Lady Buccaneers, but Lady Bucs is also acceptable.
ETSU (7-16, 5-11) looked to build off of its recent win over Kennesaw State when it faced the Jacksonville Dolphins. The Lady Bucs started the game off with turnover after turnover but were able to build up an 11-4 advantage before the first media timeout due to dominance in the paint and on the boards. JU followed with an 8-1 run to take a one-point lead midway through the half and continued the burst to take its largest lead of seven points. ETSU answered this Dolphins' burst with four, unanswered buckets to take back the lead, 26-25. The next seven minutes featured back-and-forth action, with each team answering the other. A drained three-pointer at the buzzer by Maria Bond (Macon, Ga.) brought the Lady Bucs into the break with a 35-33 advantage. Through the early portion of the second half, ETSU kept JU at bay with a small advantage until the Dolphins took the lead, 47-45, on a pair of made free throws with 13:12 to go. The remainder of the half featured multiple ties and lead changes leading up to the final seconds. Jacksonville sported a three-point lead with 7.2 seconds remaining but turned the ball over to ETSU on the inbound, giving the possession to the Lady Bucs. With the clock winding down, Shawn Randall (Orlando, Fla.) nailed a trifecta to send the game into overtime. When it appeared the Blue and Gold had the momentum going into the extra period, the Dolphins squashed any ETSU momentum by scoring the first nine points of overtime which proved to be too much of a deficit for the Lady Bucs to handle as they dropped a 90-81 decision. ETSU was led by a career-high 17 points, along with eight rebounds, from Maria Bond (Macon, Ga.).
Monday's contest in Jacksonville will be the 16th all-time meeting between the two teams, a series in which ETSU leads with a 10-5 overall series advantage. The Lady Bucs and the Ospreys met earlier this season on Jan. 26 when UNF topped ETSU, 62-56. In this recent matchup, ETSU looked to gain their first home victory in almost two months when they welcomed the North Florida Ospreys to the ETSU/MSHA Athletics Center. In the first half, the Lady Bucs relied way too much on the three-point shot, firing up 13 attempts and making only one. This reliance, and the inability to get anything going from the field, resulted in a 29-18 deficit at the break. In the second stanza, ETSU used a combination of attacking the basket and finally getting some triples to fall. The Blue and Gold took the lead with four minutes remaining, but settling for threes proved costly as the Lady Bucs went cold, while the Ospreys closed the game with a nine to five run in the final 2:30, sealing the game, 62-56. Destiny Mitchell (Bluffton, Ga.) notched her third straight double-double with 12 points and 14 rebounds.
The emergence of redshirt-sophomore Tiana Burley (Camilla, Ga.) has provided a badly-needed inside presence for the Lady Bucs. In the transfer's first action as a Lady Buc due to NCAA regulations, the forward came off the bench and posted a double-double of 19 points and 13 rebounds in a loss to Appalachian State. This performance awarded Burley A-Sun Newcomer of the Week honors on Dec. 26. Burley also came up huge off the bench in the win against Jacksonville (1/28) when she posted season-highs of 22 points and four blocks as well as 11 rebounds in only 20 minutes of play. On Feb. 4, the sophomore forward was awarded Atlantic Sun Women's Basketball Player of the Week by College Sports Madness. After being inserted into the starting lineup against Northern Kentucky due to injuries amongst the team, Burley dominated from the start and scored 16 points before the midway point of the first half. In total, the sophomore forward scored 20 points and ripped down 11 rebounds. The Camilla, Ga. native followed this with another double-double against Stetson with 20 points and 12 rebounds. Burley is currently averaging 9.3 points and 5.4 rebounds for ETSU.
The Lady Bucs have recently discovered the most offensive production through points in the paint. ETSU is currently averaging 30 points in the paint per game, including an average of 35 points in its past five. In a loss at Jacksonville, the Blue and Gold recorded 54 points in the paint, the most since scoring 50 points in the paint in a win against Jacksonville earlier this season in Johnson City.
After being inserted into the starting lineup at the beginning of conference play, Shawn Randall (Orlando, Fla.) has answered the call and has been stellar in league play. In her first start of the season at USC Upstate, Randall tallied 16 points and was 4-of-6 from behind the arc. The junior guard followed this performance with strong showings at Lipscomb (13 points, 4 rebounds), at Northern Kentucky (9 points), at Kennesaw State (18 points) and at Jacksonville (17 points). Randall is currently averaging 8.9 points per game in Atlantic Sun action.
The Blue and Gold have outrebounded the opposition in 18 of the 23 games this season and enter Monday's game with a plus-6.6 rebounding margin (43.7-37.2), ranking first in the A-Sun … in its game at Morehead State, ETSU outrebounded the Eagles by 20, 46-26 … the Lady Bucs' plus-6.6 rebound margin currently ranks in the top 30 nationally.
After being inserted into the starting lineup for the first time this season against North Florida on Jan. 26, sophomore guard Cara Bowling (Elizabethton, Tenn.) has successfully responded to the promotion. Following scoring 14 points in her first game as a starter this season, Bowling has kept the momentum going with strong offensive performances since. In the Elizabethton, Tenn. native's last five games, she is averaging 10.4 points per game, including a season-high tying 15 points vs. Northern Kentucky on Feb. 4. Most recently, the sophomore guard scored 13 points, including three made three-pointers, at Jacksonville.
Currently the Lady Bucs are averaging 5.4 blocks per contest, good for tops in the Atlantic Sun. ETSU swatted a season-high nine shots in a loss at Stetson on Feb. 9. The Blue and Gold are led by Tosha Austin's (Chattanooga, Tenn.) 1.2 blocks per game which ranks in the top five individually in the league. Austin also currently ranks 15th all-time in blocked shots in Atlantic Sun history with 126 rejections.
After a solid start to the season for the now eligible transfer, Serena Clark (Tucker, Ga.) has really turned it on when it comes to Atlantic Sun action. Through the first 16 games of league play, Clark is averaging 8.8 points and 7.9 rebounds per game, including back-to-back double-doubles at Lipscomb and at Northern Kentucky with 10 points & 14 rebounds and 16 points, 10 rebounds & seven steals, respectively. Clark also registered a double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds at Jacksonville.
Destiny Mitchell (Bluffton, Ga.) is well on her way to become the 21st Lady Buc to join the 1,000-point club ... She is on pace to break the 1,000-point mark near the end of February as she registered 347 points as a freshman and 367 points as a sophomore for 714 total points... through ETSU's first 23 games of the 2012-13 season she has scored 227 to move her career total to 941 .. if Mitchell scores in similar fashion in the next two years as she did as a rookie and as a sophomore, she will put herself in the top-10 in Lady Buc history.
The Lady Bucs have been a tough team to beat when it comes to the second half of the season (games played from January-March) … since January of 2008, ETSU is 81-40 (.669) in the months of January through March, including a program-best 19-3 mark in 2009-10.
Through the early portion of the season, ETSU has gotten strong contributions from its bench. On the season ETSU averages roughly 25 bench points per game, including a season-high 44 points off the bench against Memphis. Key reserves Maria Bond (Macon, Ga.) (6.5 ppg) and Brianna McQueen (Jonesboro, Ga.) (8.8 ppg) have been vital for the Lady Bucs.
The Lady Bucs have enjoyed a lot of success since joining the A-Sun in 2005-06 … since joining the league, the Lady Buccaneers have averaged 15 conference wins a year, including a league-best and school record 18-2 mark in 2009-10, three Atlantic Sun Tournament titles (2008-2010), and two regular season championships (2008 and 2010) …in total, ETSU is 104-44 (.703) against conference foes since moving into the A-Sun … the Lady Bucs have also won 84 of their last 118 games against conference foes (includes the 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 A-Sun Tournaments).

For some time I have been trying to install an activity that will play music files without having to browse to each one individually but I have not had any luck.
I just installed Jukebox. It seemed to install fine and the activity starts but I can not see any way of telling it where to look for music files. I was not able to find any instructions for using the activity and I gather it is supposed to be quite simple. What am I missing?
I did take a peek at the code and it looks like there is supposed to be an 'open' button that you click. The only button that it might be is in the top left corner of the activity window (an icon that looks like
a page with the top right corner bent down) but nothing happens when I click on it.
I also tried Sonata and had similar problems but I read somewhere that Sonata does not work with build 767.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to get Jukebox working or on another activity that would work, I would appreciate it.
Thanks very much

Brief SummaryRead full entry
Isoptera consists of over 2600 species (mostly tropical). Termites are the oldest social insect group with complex societies dating back at least to the early Cretaceous (140 Mya). Only 12 species occur in Europe. Recent studies have shown that Isoptera are basically social cockroaches forming a monophyletic clade within the Blattodea, most likely the sister group of the Cryptocercidae (woodroaches) (Inward et al. 2007). Termites are the only hemimetabolous insects that exhibit true social behavior. They build large nests housing an entire colony. These colonies contain adult reproductives (one queen and one king) plus hundreds or thousands of immatures that serve as workers and soldiers. Termites are important decomposer animals in lowland tropical ecosystems. They mostly feed on dead plant material and are able to digest cellulose with the help of symbiotic gut symbionts.

A reader recently expressed concern over the federal deficit and faults the Democrats for failing to come to grips with entitlements ("Republicans aren't to blame for Washington gridlock," Dec. 20). He describes the state of our federal budget as a free fall into bankruptcy. In my opinion, these views are sheer nonsense. If our economy were threatened, interests rates would be sky high and investors and foreign governments would be dumping our treasury notes. Instead, interest rates are at record low levels and investors worldwide are clambering to buy U.S. government securities.
The facts are that the federal budget deficit has come down drastically in recent years from $1.4 trillion in 2009 to an expected $845 billion by the end of fiscal 2013, according to projections of the Congressional Budget Office. Given continuing sluggish employment, this kind of deficit is quite appropriate. Once our economy reaches nearly full employment, the deficit is expected to fall to about $400 billion, a sustainable level. So what is really required now is a robust economy leading to full employment.
One way not to achieve that objective is to embrace a policy of austerity and cuts in government spending. This is a lesson painfully learned by British and other European nations. I suspect that many budget hawks are using the deficit as a weapon to reduce social programs that have made this nation great since FDR's New Deal. Entitlements, including Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are essential to a prospering society. Their immediate fiscal solvency is sound. Adjustments will be required in the long term and are readily apparent. Social Security, for example, can be put on a long term sustainability by simply raising the current threshold of income subject to taxation from about $117,000 to $250,000, thereby eliminating one of the many tax provisions favoring the wealthy.

U.S. stocks fluctuated, after the longest streak of weekly gains since February, as investors awaited retailer earnings reports to gauge the strength of consumer demand and the likelihood of cuts to monetary stimulus.
Transocean Ltd. added 3.9% after the offshore rig contractor agreed with investor Carl Icahn to propose a $3 per share dividend. ViroPharma Inc. jumped 26% as Shire Plc. bought the company for about $4.2 billion. Best Buy Co. rose 4% after a UBS AG analyst upgraded the stock. D.R. Horton Inc. slid 1.7% as homebuilder stocks dropped for a third day. KKR & Co. fell 1.5% after it bought Brickman Group Ltd. for $1.6 billion.
The S&P 500 added less than 1 point to 1,771.05 at 2:51 p.m. in New York, within one point of its record. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 11.05 points, or 0.1%, to 15,772.83, headed for a record close. Trading in S&P 500 stocks was 24% below the 30-day average at this time of day. The U.S. bond market is closed because of the Veterans Day holiday.
"Today's going to be very light because it's a holiday for many people," John Carey, a portfolio manager at Pioneer Investment Management who oversees $200 billion in assets globally, said by phone from Boston. "People will be watching over the next few weeks to see if the Fed does decide to begin tapering this year. If earnings continue trending higher the support will be there for better share prices."
Earnings Scorecard
The S&P 500 added 0.5% last week for a fifth week of gains. Better-than-forecast data on jobs and growth indicated the economy is strong enough to withstand a reduction in Federal Reserve stimulus, even as consumer spending climbed last quarter at the slowest pace since 2011.
Corporate earnings that surpassed estimates and unprecedented monetary support from the Federal Reserve have propelled the S&P 500 higher by more than 160% from a March 2009 low.
Of the 447 S&P 500 companies that have released third- quarter profits so far, 75% have beaten analysts' forecasts, data compiled by Bloomberg showed. Earnings per share for the companies on the gauge probably increased 4.7% in the third quarter, and will rise 6.2% in the fourth, according to estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
"We can put in the books that the third quarter earnings season was another positive surprise," Phil Orlando, New York- based chief equity market strategist at Federated Investors, said by phone. His firm oversees about $380 billion in assets. "The market was way too pessimistic going in."

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Danish police said Wednesday they are widening a probe into two former reporters and the publisher of a local gossip magazine, suspected of violating privacy laws by illegally accessing information — including credit card transactions — that enabled them to track Danish royals and celebrities for several years.
Police investigator Bent Isager-Nielsen said officers searched the homes of Ken B. Rasmussen and Kasper Kopping, who used to work for Se og Hoer magazine, to find more evidence. They also raided the offices of a media group and a book publisher.
Rasmussen, who was laid off in 2012 as part of sweeping staff cuts, relates in a recently published book how reporters used information from a secret source at IBM with access to a card-payment company's computers.
The informant, a 45-year-old Dane who was not named, was detained briefly May 6 after being indicted with violating privacy, and illegally accessing and spreading personal information from 2007 to 2012.
Rasmussen told the AP the magazine had paid the informant 10,000 kroner ($1,840) a month for the leaks, but declined to give more information about him.
He said their techniques were far superior to those used by reporters at the now-defunct British tabloid News of the World which was engulfed in a phone hacking scandal, describing those as "pure boy scout methods" in comparison. He detailed how they were able to closely tail Prince Joachim, Queen Margrethe's second son, and his second wife, French-born Marie Cavallier, on their honeymoon, by using information about where and when the newlyweds used their credit cards.
Since the case came to light, several Danish companies have begun internal investigations into possible leaks, resulting in staff dismissals and temporary suspensions.
The suspects face a maximum prison sentence of six years if found guilty, but have only been provisionally charged by the police — a step short of formal charges.

HTC 10 has won hearts and has made a comeback to the market. The phone is HTC's attempt to be brilliant again but will it win the battle to the death against the mighty Huawei P9. Or will the Huawei handset come out victorious. Let's find out in this in-depth comparison.
Keeping the innovation alive, HTC 10 opts for a premium unibody design and adding the new chamfered look to the mix. The cuts on all sides are really sturdy and add depth to the device in your hand. The phone feels comfortable and well balanced all around. Following the laws of physics and beauty, the chamfers reflect light differently depending on the angle you hold the device in. With the passage of time, the new design is something you'll definitely grow fond of. The phone feels extremely solid in the hand and is terribly well balanced. The design picked up by HTC features to be just the right amount of innovative and manages to be sexy at the same time. The phone is standard HTC long and wide. The thickness however has grown to 9mm which drops the phones to qualify for race of sleek phones but never does it feel like holding a brick in your hand. With a fingerprint sensor beneath the home button, your information is now more secure than ever. The design is both impressive and new which makes this device stand out.
Moving to the P9, too has chamfered edges but the chamfer is quite small comparing it to the HTC 10. The design is quite similar to the P8. The Huawei flagship device feels like a bar of chocolate. Be it stronger edges, a unibody design, a great metal finish, the device has everything a perfect phone has on its check list. An all metal back provides the users with a premium look. Being only 7mm thick, the device has stacked a lot inside itself. On the back you'll find a fingerprint sensor and not one but two cameras which may boost up the performance of the device but are definitely not good-looking.
Sleek, stylish, metal, the phone follows all abstracts of a good design but the cameras, well they look hideous.
Although a tough competition among the two, the HTC took a chance with the chamfer design which seemed quite odd in the leaks but looks good in reality.
The HTC 10 definitely wins the applause and the battle for a better design.
The HTC 10 has a relatively large screen of 5.2 inches with a screen-to-body ratio of about 71.1%. HTC chose a Super LCD5 capacitive display which, according to HTC is 30% more responsive comparing to its other contenders. The phone backs a screen with a resolution of 1440 by 2560 pixels which amount to a pixel density of 565 ppi. With a pixel density this high, one must expect an out of the box display with more saturated colors. The phone provides color accurate results that are pleasing to the eye. In broad daylight, one can form out what is written on the screen easily making it a display for all seasons.
With Corning Gorilla Glass 4 to enforce the screen, this baby can definitely stand some beating.
On the other hand, Huawei also has the same screen size (5.2 inches) with a somewhat old and low resolution of 1080 by 1920 pixels. The resolution provides a pixel density of 423 which makes up for a decent display but not as vivid as the HTC 10. Huawei also uses a Corning Gorilla Glass 4 to provide support and protection to its display. The screen is an IPS-NEO LCD which provides a decent viewing experience. The viewing angles are quite steady and colors do not wash out when viewed from the sides. It performs somewhat well beneath the sun. What's written on the screen can be understood easily when the screen brightness is rocked to full 100 percent.
Despite the great resolution presented by both phones, HTC 10 triumphs in this round with its high screen resolution. The difference cannot be felt, not unless you really want to notice it but as the screen is the one thing you interact with, it must be special. The phone presents an awesome display, the one you just can't ignore.
Looking for power under the hood, Huawei utilizes a HiSilicon Kirin 955 chipset being the fastest chipset employed by the giant. The device relies on a Quad-core 2.5 GHz Cortex-A72 & quad-core 1.8 GHz Cortex-A53 for all its tasks. Gaming performance inherits all its richness from the Mali-T880 MP4 GPU Chipset. The names might not seem familiar but they score quite high on all benchmark tests and are the pieces of hardware you can rely upon. The phone also supports expandable storage by introducing a microSD support using Sim 2 slot as its house. It supports up to 128 GBs of expansion. The phone comes in two models. One ships with 32 GB internal storage with 3GB RAM and the other comes with 64 GBs to store your data and a godlike 4GB RAM. All of the specifications on paper equate to a very high end phone. Both devices show support for USB Type C on the bottom providing a reversible connector to charge up your device. Yay
The HTC 10 uses a Snapdragon 820 chipset which uses Dual-core 2.15 GHz Kryo& dual-core 1.6 GHz Kryo for all its daily chores. The device relies on an Adreno 530 GPU Chipset for its gaming performance and image rendering. It runs smoother than a snowstorm when it comes to daily use. The phone ships in two models, one has a 32 GB internal storage capability while the other comes in providing 64 GB of internal data storage. Like a cherry on top of the cake, the device has a dedicated slot allowing expansion up to 200 GB.The HTC 10 ships with a massive 4GB RAM which is more than enough for all a man does.
While the HTC 10 does everything a device needs to do, Huawei P9 does it better. Huawei's P9, delivers a decisive blow to the HTC 10 winning the spec war.
Huawei and HTC both run on the same sweet Android Marshmallow Huawei currently runs on a 6.0 software. HTC stands a little over the edge with a minor update to its name. HTC come with 6.0.1 Android Marshmallow out of the box.
In terms of day to day task, the Huawei P9, because of its high specs runs smooth no matter what you throw at it. The transitions and animations are all smooth and fluid making the device as smooth as silk.Huawei P9 comes with bloatware-laden Emotion UI which means that the handset has its own skins applied to android. This, despite the bloatware, adds a lot more customization than you expect. The customization that can be done out of the box accounts for a lot of freedom that is offered by the company
HTC 10 runs on a skin which looks quite similar to stock android. All of its transitions are smooth because of the minimalism implemented by the new HTC SENSE 8. The device performs like a charm and feels really nice in the hand. The device certainly has reduced bloatware and contains either the Google's version of the app or either the one made by HTC.
When it comes to software, the HTC 10 with its Sense UI looks stunning and feels snappier. It would be a personal reference for everyone. For me, the stock Android has always been sweeter than any of the customization that comes with the device and this defines the winner for this round in my opinion. Huawei P9 offers everything needed and also a unique UI which makes it a matter of preference.
For me, the HTC does the software part better making it a winner.
On paper, the HTC deploys a 12 MP shooter with an aperture o f/1.8. The device has a pixel size of 1.55 micro meter allowing more surrounding light to enter and thus better low light imaging. The device captures videos at 2160p at 30fps or in 720p at 120fps. The camera performs provides a nifty experience and low light imaging stands to be nice. The HTC employs a 5 MP front facing camera which provides you with nice selfies but not the best. You might find better cameras for this job. HTC 10 has a pretty basic camera and does not produce its best results in the camera domain.
Huawei, on the other hand, chose a new approach to the game. P9 employs two 12 MP cameras that come with a LEICA branding on top right. LEICA is a company that specifies in cameras and camera quality. In theory, two cameras mean better image quality and thus better performances in all external conditions. Huawei suffered a little because of its average low light shots in the past but with Leica optics and a dual tone flash, the device really stands a chance. Huawei captures videos at 1080p at 60fps or 30fps or inn 720p at 120fps. Moving to the front, the device holds an 8 MP shooter which results in high quality images, better than 10.
HTC does provide a tough competition to the P9 but fails to win the crown.
The Huawei P9 can be seen clicking its high quality image of victory with a better camera.
In the past years, HTC had employed the boom sound speakers on the front of the device but since the new design, HTC gave up on those front facing awesomeness and rather put them in familiar, easy to block places. The boom sound still lives on but one speaker now places at the bottom and the other place near the earpiece provide a somewhat diminished experience. The HTC speakers have all that makes good sound quality but it used to be a lot better.
Huawei P9 has a single speaker grill on the bottom makes up a decently loud sound and acts as a reasonable speaker. The speakers on this device are nothing like the front facing speakers of the previous HTC models. At high volume, the sound becomes distorted and gets better when you turn the volume down.
HTC manages to beat the Huawei p9 in this fist fight and comes out as the phone with better sound quality.
Both of the devices pack a high 3000 mAh Li-Ion battery making it stand out for a full day with moderate use. Huawei because of its low screen resolution loses less juice and thus can provide better battery performance than the HTC 10. Battery performances of both the devices are on par with other contenders in the market. Huawei P9 boasts an endurance rating of 77 hours while the HTC 10 has an endurance rating of 66 hours. Both of these phones are destined to thrive for a complete day but while imagining coarse conditions, the Huawei P9 will stand for more time to your service than the other compromising with the screen resolution.
KO. P9 wins.
The HTC 10 costs about $699 in the US market. The price is pretty standard for all of the other high-end smartphones around. The devices in Europe comes at about 612 Euros. In Australia, you can find the HTC 10 at about 910 Australian dollars. In UK, the device costs about 488 pounds.
Huawei P9 can be picked up from UK at about 450 Pounds. The phone costs about $656 putting it slightly below the magnificent Samsung Galaxy S7.
Both of the phones are quite expensive and will put quite a strain on your pocket but the performance you get afterwards is worth it.
The Huawei has a display resolution lower than most of the other handsets of the same price tag, which is disappointing. The HTC 10 does not has the best specs in the market.
Both phones lack at certain places. In the end, the decision comes to personal preference.
Final Verdict:
Both of the devices are worthy to be held in your hand but when it comes to choosing one of them, the competition gets tough. Both devices have their best performances in one region and lack in the other.
Huawei has bloatware and unexpected apps in the software part and a low resolution with a high price tag. That is disappointing. On the other hand, HTC 10 has an average camera performance but a mesmerizing screen. The battery can fill up quite quick because of the fast charging so that does not stand to be an issue. Both devices provide great connectivity bands, fingerprint sensor (Huawei P9 has it on the back and HTC 10 has it embedded in its home button).
With everything going on, HTC stands victorious for me taking a lot a beating from the P9 but still managing to stand up on its feet.

Asus' tablet Eee takes on multi-touch
More fingers and more storage
Asus has added a multi-touch display to its touchscreen T91, apparently resulting in the world's first convertible tablet netbook featuring a multi-touch screen that supports Windows 7 many-finger gestures.
Asus' T91 - now with multi-touch
The 8.9in display on Asus' T91 – released in Blighty during July – could only cope with a single finger touching its 1024 x 600 screen at any one time. The second-generation T91MT, however, lets you pinch, flick, swirl, scroll, zoom and flip through images, web pages and more using multiple fingers.
While the T91MT's screen size and resolution remains identical to the earlier model's, Asus has swapped out the 15GB SSD for a more capacious 32GB unit. Add to that the 500GB of online storage space which Asus chucks in and you should have enough space for, well, quite a lot of data.
T91MT buyers still get an a 1.33GHz Intel Z520 Atom CPU, Intel US15W chipset and 1GB of DDR 2 memory.
Many fingers make light work?
The 0.3Mp webcam can connect to the web over 802.11n Wi-Fi. Only two USB ports feature on the T91MT, though it does include an SD memory card slot.
A UK launch date and price for the T91MT haven't emerged, but the machine will retail for $550 (£335/€368) in North America – roughly $80 more than the T91. ®

Uninvited, The (US - BD)
Gabe wasn't invited, so he sat at home and ate leftovers while watching cable...
Following the untimely and explosive death of her sickly mother Anna (Emily Browning) spends several months undergoing major therapy in a mental asylum. She's released back to her father (David Strathairn), but is bummed to find that her mother's nurse (Elizabeth Banks) has also moved into the house, and is looking to fill the role of stepmother. Anna and her older sister Alex (Arielle Kebbel) both distrust the nurse, and following a few visits from her mother's ghost Anna starts looking into the uninvited woman's sordid past.
Sometimes not doing research leads to a very confusing viewing experience, especially when you make a bunch of assumptions. First off I confused The Uninvited with another supposed Korean horror remake called The Unborn. I remembered the ads to The Unborn pretty well, and was very confused by the lack of babies. My second mistake was assuming that The Uninvited was a remake of The Uninvited, which seems like an easy mistake to make. These are both simple mistakes to make, but they definitely coloured my entire movie watching experience. I figured that I wasn't watching The Unborn pretty early into the film, so that particular confusion wasn't a huge deal, but problem number two drove me crazy until a few days later when I finally sat down to do my review.
I hadn't seen Lee Su-yeon's The Uninvited, so I looked up the wikipedia page so I could compare the films. It turns out they have almost nothing in common. This triggered memories of my mindset while watching the Guard Brothers film. I kept saying aloud 'This is a lot like A Tale of Two Sisters' (you can ask the people I watched it with for verification), and wondering how Korea could've possibly produced two such similar films about evil step mothers. I figured that so many of Japan's post Ringu movies follow the same plot that I just wrote it off as a cultural issue I didn't understand. But lo and behold, it turns out The Uninvited (that's the 2009 one, not to be confused with the 2003 one, or the 1999 one, or the 1993 one, or the 1944 one, or one of the three that came out in 2008) was produced under the original title of A Tale of Two Sisters.
I could cut this whole review short right now by simply begging the viewer to watch the original A Tale of Two Sisters instead, but should probably be a little more specific. As a man that's seen a lot of post- Ringu Asian ghost stories, and one who didn't really like any of them all that much, I count A Tale of Two Sisters as my favourite in the genre (if we're calling post- Ringu Asian ghost story a genre). It's a gorgeous film, and it's a graceful film. The scares work, and the dread is inescapable. The plot is a little muddled towards the end, but the overall production is nearly immaculate. In contrast the 'remake' is broad, predictable (even outside of the expectations of a remake), and frankly not very frightening at all.
That's mostly what I got for your review of The Uninvited, which beyond comparisons to the original source material is pretty much entirely unremarkable. The cast is pretty good, even the miscast Elizabeth Banks, but the dialogue is often awkward to the point of stupidity, and the pacing verges on glacial, even though there's hardly any plot to plough through. The directors take some effective steps towards separating their film from the glut of similar looking Asian horror remakes. Their camera placement and movement is interesting without calling too much attention to itself, and the lighting is vaguely spooky throughout. Their grasp of jump scares seemed to work for the people I was watching the film with, but unfortunately didn't get even a twitch out of me.
The Guard Brothers have nothing on the Baroque excesses of Kim Ji-woon, who infused A Tale of Two Sisters with some of the most stunning shadowed images in Asian horror, but they are the film's finest asset. The lighting choices are mostly about accentuating the darkness rather than the highlights, so there isn't a whole lot of super high detail throughout. Sharp highlights, like the sun bouncing off of waves, sometimes bloom a bit, and medium shot edges are a bit noisy, more so than should appear on a Blu-ray release. Colours are largely muted, and frankly kind of bland, but are relatively clean, and reasonably realistic. The advantages of high definition likely lie in the transfers overall cleanliness, but I can't imagine that the DVD version looks much different, save maybe some less solid black levels. Perhaps details are easier to make out in hi-def darkness.
The film's audio design is well balanced, creating an effective contrast between the eerier quiet elements and the big bang scare elements, but most of the fright-play is delegated to the centre channel along with the dialogue. There are some chirping birds and lapping waves found in the rear channels during outdoor scenes, but outside of Anna's dream sequences there isn't a lot of sound effects work found in the stereo and surround channels. Composer Christopher Young is another of the film's strong points. Young doesn't exact his classic Hellraiser score, but does call back to it a bit with the larger than life deep strings, which are probably the Dolby TrueHD track's most effective and prominent asset.
'Unlocking The Uninvited' (19:00) is a reasonably informative behind the scenes featurette, that fully recognizes the fact that the film is a remake (even if the producers picked it up based on the way the plot was described, not on the actual movie). The behind the scenes of the featurette is interesting, but kind of sad from the standpoint that nobody wanted to inspire the same degree of wonderful ambiguity found in the original film. There's a lot of talk about the Freudian undertones of the story, which makes the final product that much more disappointing in its simplicity. The featurette also covers casting and filming, which are more in-keeping with the usual self-congratulatory themes of most EPKs.
The extras are completed with four deleted scenes and a brief alternate ending. The alternate ending just elongates the coda by a hair to more specifically explain one element of the twist that is pretty clear in the shortened version, while the deleted scenes are mostly made up of unnecessary clues to the twist.
The Uninvited is pretty unremarkable, and doesn't hold a candle to its source feature, A Tale of Two Sisters. The story has some big differences, and the twist is somewhat doubled, but things are still pretty predictable, and the beautiful ambiguity and re-watchability of the original film is lost in the simplified and specified rewriting. Audiences searching for fairy tale horror should really just be willing to challenge themselves and go out and rent the original instead. Maybe if there's enough interest Palisades (which now owns Tartan's back catalogue) will put out a Blu-ray version of A Tale of Two Sisters.

It's not your imagination. It's most likely the projectionist's fault for improperly framing the film.
moviewizguy Member Join Date: February 2006 Location: United States Posts: 224
That was a bad review because it was so vague....but that's just me. It felt like you were saying "Watch 'A Tale of Two Sisters' instead!" instead of actually reviewing the film. Perhaps those who have already seen the original are intrested in the remake.
The movie was so uninteresting I couldn't think of anything more to say.

I didn't know it was a remake when I was watching it.
Besides, it's not possible to not have a biased view when expressing opinion. And if it was possible, why would you read my thoughts on a film? It'd be nothing but mushy indecision. It's my job to make sure my readers understand where I'm coming from, and it's their job to decide if my opinion on a certain subject is worth following.
That said, I reiterate that I really couldn't think of much else to say on the subject of The Uninvited, and am not particularly proud of this review.

I have a thing for Emily Browning, now that she's legal...
She still kind of looks like a really pretty 12 year old.
Fabricio De Zuasnabar Member Join Date: July 2005 Location: United States Posts: 1,350
Emily Browning seems like she has some guatemalan/asian/white roots...
and yeah, i bought this for a second look, and no microphones shown...
i quite liked the movie... not scary but different, i really wasnt expecting that ending, but i wasnt SHOCKED!!!!

I really enjoyed this movie when I saw it in the theatre. (Although I attribute a little bit of my enjoyment to the ultralarge Mountain Dew/gummi bears combo I was ingesting while the film was going on.) I will definately buy the DVD, although it didn't hold up quite as well on the second viewing.

Just wondering what size I should be outputting my 360 pano from PTGui? I've read different opinions, surely there must be a sweet spot? I'm pretty sure the compression should be around 85% quality. Also, am I better off outputting in Tiff to my tour software? Little stuck on cube sizes too. Some of my sphericals are showing a size of 60mb, that seems too much to me. any thoughts?
Thank you very much for any help.

Weak Economies in Southern Europe Benefit as Tourists Pour In, Skirting Instability in Arab Vacation Spots
The Russians came, and they saved hotelier Gustavo Cabedo's tourist season.
Spanish visitors to his Tryp Port Cambrils hotel, down the coast from Barcelona, had dwindled in recent years as the economy slumped. But a rush of Russian and French tourists put off by turmoil in Egypt—and lured to Spain by falling prices—has picked up the slack, lifting occupancy in the 156-room hotel near the beach above 90% this summer.

Authors: John A. Gowan
The conceptual basis of the Unified Field Theory, as presented in these pages, can be briefly sketched as follows: "Noether's Theorem" states that in a continuous multi-component field such as the electromagnetic field (or the metric field of spacetime), where one finds a symmetry one finds an associated conservation law, and vice versa. In matter, light's symmetries are conserved by charge and spin; in spacetime, by inertial and gravitational forces. Light's raw energy is conserved as mass and momentum; light's intrinsic motion or entropy drive is conserved as time and gravitation. All forms of energy, including the entropic conservation domain of spacetime, originate as light. During the "Big Bang", the asymmetric interaction of primordial, high energy light with the metric structure of spacetime (and combined with the unified action of the four forces of physics), produces matter; matter carries charges which are the symmetry (and entropy) debts of the light which created it. Charge invariance is therefore an important corollary of charge and symmetry conservation, maintained in our temporal (gravitational) metric of relative motion by "local gauge symmetry currents" (compensating components of the field vectors, such as magnetism and time). The invariance of "velocity c", the "Interval", and causality are likewise important metric corollaries of energy conservation (the "Lorentz Invariance" of Special and General Relativity). Charges produce forces which act to return the material system to its original symmetric energy state (light), paying (partially or completely) matter's symmetry/entropy debt. Repayment of matter's symmetry debt is exampled by: 1) spontaneous, exothermic chemical reactions and matter-antimatter annihilation; 2) radioactivity and proton decay; 3) the nucleosynthetic pathway of stars and Hawking's "quantum radiance" of black holes. Identifying the broken symmetries of light associated with the charges and forces of physics (including gravity) is the first step toward a conceptual unification. The charges of matter are the symmetry debts of light.

Flushing senior nominated for Truman Scholarship
Scholarship nominees are often nominated for outstanding academic prowess or excellent character, both of which Flushing senior Rebeccah Woodke has in spades.
But professor Phame Camarena, director of the National Scholarship Program and Honors Program, said Woodke was nominated by Central Michigan University for an entirely different purpose: her ability to change the world.
"For this scholarship, we were looking for one specific individual, a world-changing agent; we wanted to nominate (someone) who we thought would go out and change the world," Camarena said. "We found that in Rebeccah."
Each applicant must be nominated by his or her university. In their applications, candidates completed a series of essays, including a proposed solution to a major public policy issue.
Woodke, though, is a unique choice for the nomination. Camarena said Truman nominees traditionally have a background in political science. Woodke doesn't fit the mold; she's aspiring to go into public health, and with a major in biomedical sciences, she has a background in sciences.
"From the faculty perspective, Rebeccah has a unique and compelling story," Camarena said. "She started by saying, 'I'm going to be a scientist or a doctor,' but as she continues to study, she realized that there are other ways to help people."
Camarena said although Woodke is a unique choice, she is by no means as a risky one. She currently holds a 4.0 GPA, has spent time abroad doing service work in Oaxaca, Mexico and Belize, she has been a participant and site leader for the Alternative Breaks program, and has volunteered at the McLaren Central Michigan Free Clinic, 2012 E. Preston St.
Additionally, Woodke is secretary of Universities Allied for Essential Medicines, where she has worked with students and university officials to make medicines and medical procedures developed by the university more accessible to lower-income families around the world.
But even Woodke's background in biomedical sciences is a strength, not a weakness, according to Camarena.
"There is a tendency among leaders today to ignore statistics and research when drafting policies," Camarena said. "Woodke understands the importance of statistics and research. She knows you cannot draft effective policy without them."
Woodke said she knew she wanted to address health problems as soon as she entered the university and has never strayed from that path.
"During my childhood, I had an idealistic draw to making the world a better place, but I needed to narrow my focus more, so I decided to focus on health," Woodke said. "In my mind, without health, what else have you got? How can someone address economical or social problems when their most basic needs are not taken care of?"
Woodke is interested in developing policy which will help address health disparities among ethnic and racial groups, specifically within the United States. Woodke said she changed her focus from scientific research to public health because of her desire to make that difference in people's life.
"I just knew that I didn't want to make a living being in a lab; I wanted to interact and be with people," Woodke said.
Camarena said he has no doubt Woodke will make a large impact when she graduates.
"Whether or not she wins the scholarship, she's just a top-notch academic student and has all the capabilities to be a national leader," Camarena said. "I fully expect her, 20 years down the road, to be leading an institution"

News Release: State Government Equivocates on Cost of Michigan Film Incentive Program to State Taxpayers
Mackinac Center video segment describes the incentive and the state's wide-ranging estimates of the program's costs
For Immediate Release
Friday, Jan. 9, 2009
Contact: Kathy Hoekstra
Communications Specialist
MIDLAND - As state officials tout the Michigan Film Incentive and the purported arrival of new film jobs to metro Detroit, an exploration of the program by Mackinac Center Communications Specialist Kathy Hoekstra suggests that the state is either unsure of — or unwilling to reveal — the film incentive's cost to taxpayers. Her findings, including footage from a Michigan Film Office meeting and interviews with the film office director, are presented in a brief video segment produced by Hoekstra, a former Michigan TV news anchor.
See the brief video segment at www.mackinac.org/MFI.
The video is the first installment in a Mackinac Center series about the Michigan Film Incentive program. The series, titled "The Scene and the Unseen," is being produced as part of the Center's Michigan Transparency Project, which was launched in 2008 to inspect the practices of elected officials, government agencies and organizations specially privileged by government action.

ePrescribing Controlled Substances Patient Matching Rate
John Lynn is the Founder of the HealthcareScene.com blog network which currently consists of 10 blogs containing over 8000 articles with John having written over 4000 of the articles himself. These EMR and Healthcare IT related articles have been viewed over 16 million times. John also manages Healthcare IT Central and Healthcare IT Today, the leading career Health IT job board and blog. John is co-founder of InfluentialNetworks.com and Physia.com. John is highly involved in social media, and in addition to his blogs can also be found on Twitter: @techguy and @ehrandhit and LinkedIn.
I've been wanting to write about ePrescribing controlled substances since 9/13/09. In fact, I even did write post about the FDA approving a pilot to do electronic prescribing of controlled substances which I posted on that day. Turns out, it was a press release that was sent to me prematurely, so I hid it from view.
Well, a couple weeks ago, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) released it's interim final rule on ePrescribing of controlled substances (PDF). John Halamka described some of the most important details of this rule on his blog:
(a) To sign a controlled substance prescription, the electronic prescription application must require the practitioner to authenticate to the application using an authentication protocol that uses two of the following three factors:
(1) Something only the practitioner knows, such as a password or response to a challenge question.
(2) Something the practitioner is, biometric data such as a fingerprint or iris scan.
(3) Something the practitioner has, a device (hard token) separate from the computer to which the practitioner is gaining access.
(b) If one factor is a hard token, it must be separate from the computer to which it is gaining access and must meet at least the criteria of FIPS 140-2 Security Level 1, as incorporated by reference in § 1311.08, for cryptographic modules or one-time-password devices.
(c) If one factor is a biometric, the biometric subsystem must comply with the requirements of § 1311.116.
Halamka also suggests they'll consider 3 approaches to support strong authentication:
*Fingerprints (Bio-Key software?)
*Hard Tokens (such as those provided by RSA)
*Cell Phones (As Gemalto talked about in this video)
I also recently heard someone tell me that the banking has a 6 percent failure rate for matching people. It's hard for me to believe that it's high and that the banking industry is willing to deal with that type of failure rate. Of course, that's not good enough for controlled substances. So, they're going to have to find some way to lower the patient matching failure rate. Although, I wonder what the failure rate is with the current model. Seems like electronic prescribing shouldn't make it any worse than it currently is.

He is most famous for the following roles:
Although Murray's fame increased in the eighties thanks to his role as Flurry Knox in The Irish R.M. and Shifty Boswell in the popular sitcom Bread, his role in Brookside is easily his most iconic. His character, the wife beater and child abuser Trevor Jordache, was famously stabbed and killed by his wife, Mandy (Sandra Maitland) and daughter Beth (Anna Friel). They later buried his body under the patio.

Five NBA Players Who Could Crossover to MMA During the Lockout
If Chris Andersen had half the mean mug that Anthony Johnson has, he'd have a spot on this list.
With the NBA lockout in full effect, many players are beginning to weigh their options for ways to stay busy. Kevin Durant is considering playing overseas, while Nate Robinson is considering a jump to a more attractive lockout. With the way that things are looking, it shouldn't be a surprise to see an NBA player decide to put on the four ounce gloves and try his hand at MMA.
Normally, lists that focus on tough NBA players are composed of cheap shots, sucker punches and bush league fouls. This is not one of them (Ed. note: For the most part, at least). This is also not a fusion of this year's All Star teams made under the assumption that all it takes is a lot of success in one sport to be a professional MMA fighter. We already have numerous examples disproving this. One more rule: Retired NBA players, like Charles Oakley and Jerry Stackhouse, are ineligible.
Rather, this list will focus on current players who may realistically accept an MMA fight during the NBA lockout. Coincidentally, most of them are heavyweights. Let's start by getting this guy out of the way as soon as possible:

Martingales points out, this betting strategy is fundamentally flawed in practice and the inevitable long-term consequence is a large financial loss. The player decides what to do depending on what cards he has and what cards the dealer has showing. The house edge for 6-deck H17 Spanish 21 is 0.78%, but the house edge for 6-deck S17 Spanish 21 is only 0.37%. Blackjack pays 3:2, and always wins regardless of whether or not the dealer has a blackjack. Insurance is paid 2:1, just like in Blackjack, despite the fact that there are four less ten-valued cards per deck?

I'm puzzled. Are the two following sentences merely 'quaint and clumsy Latin' or can someone explain to me the inner logic of Biblical Latin syntax?
John 1.7:
hic venit in testimonium / ut testimonium perhiberet de lumine / ut omnes crederent per illum.
(OK. This man came for a witness ['as a witness'? – is 'testimonium' a person (a witness) or is it 'testimony' as in the next part of the sentence? – and how does 'in' function here?] / to give testimony of [regarding] the light / that all men might believe through him)
John 1.8:
non erat ille lux / sed ut testimonium perhiberet de lumine. /
(he was not the light / but in order – as a witness?? – that he might present testimony concerning the light...)
This last sentence seems quite chaotic... 'He was not ... but that he might present ...' ??? / as testimony/witness that he might ...??? I don't get it.
Of course, I get the underlying esthetic/rhetorical structure, but how does that crazy syntax work?

This week, it's a rant. About (surprise) lesbians on TV. Specifically, about the new development involving the only leading lesbian on TV next season: Ming-Na's Camille on Stargate: Universe.
If you haven't been following our coverage of the upcoming Syfy series that debuts in October, here's a short summary: Ming-Na plays Camille Wray, an openly gay HR exec who is among a group of scientists and soldiers whose ship, Destiny, gets trapped on the other side of a Stargate (a transportation device to other galaxies), forcing them to work together to figure out how to survive, and get home. Camille's long-time partner back on Earth, Sharon, is played by Reiko Aylesworth, in an occasional guest appearance (they figure out how to communicate with Earth as the season progresses).
Camille will be the first leading lesbian character on American primetime TV to be played by an Asian American, and she'll be the only leading lesbian character on American primetime TV next season (unless you count Arizona on Grey's Anatomy, but given the little screen time she gets, I'm not — she's more of a supporting character, even if she is now a series regular).
Camille and Sharon will be separated by millions of light years, so the two will almost never be in the same room together, which means it's already a fairly safe way to include a lesbian character — you get cool points for including a lesbian, but you can mostly ignore the fact that she's gay because she's conveniently partnered with someone who's never around.
But at this point, a leading lesbian character with no on-screen personal life is better than no leading lesbian character, right?
Then we get the news this week that the series is planning a body-swap episode in which a heterosexual quadriplegic inhabits Camille's body in order to drink and have sex with men.
No, this isn't Fake Gay News — I wish it was!
Here's the official casting call for the character of Eleanor, tentatively slated for episode 16:
In the casting sides, they show Eleanor-as-Camille first flirting with and then kissing co-worker Eli Wallace (David Blue), but he stops her and says, "it's not you, it's, it's Wray. And not that I wouldn't want to with her, she's very attractive, I just don't think would want to with me."
Eleanor-as-Camille says "I understand," and then proceeds to have sex with the group's leader, Dr. Nicholas Rush (Robert Carlyle).
Here's how the casting sides describes the lead up, after Rush walks Eleanor-as-Camille to her room on the ship.
So let me get this straight (pun intended): not only will the lesbian character presumably not have any actual lesbian relationships with anyone on board the ship, she'll be shown kissing at least two men, and having sex with one of them?
Wow. And this is from the network that, when they received a failing grade from GLAAD a few weeks ago, said "we need to work harder." If this is working harder, I'd hate to see what slacking off would look like.
There are so many things wrong with this development, I could devote an entire Visibility Matters column to it. But I've written so much over the last few years about what's wrong with lesbian and bisexual visibility on TV (or the lack thereof) that I'm just going to quote from some of the readers who wrote in to tell us about this news:
You can read many more horrified responses on this LiveJournal post, and no doubt in the comments on the last page of this column in a few hours.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go find a Stargate that will take me to a galaxy where lesbian characters are actually gay.
FRIDAY AFTERNOON UPDATE: The series creators have responded to the controversy, and a spokesperson for the show called me today to explain more about the episode and the lesbian relationship. Read their comments here.

Jeffery Deaver (Grand Central Publishing), "The Kill Room"
Part of the joy in watching an ace baseball pitcher throw a perfect game is that every toss is different and the batter can't figure out what's coming next. Jeffery Deaver has written an ace thriller to keep readers guessing and gasping with his latest Lincoln Rhyme thriller, "The Kill Room." A master magician with words, Deaver misdirects with one tale while what's really going on is just off the reader's radar.
A U.S. citizen visiting the Bahamas is shot and killed. Why would Rhyme, a detective with a brilliant mind capable of deciphering even the tiniest forensic clue, be interested in such a case? For starters, the "million-dollar bullet" was fired from almost a mile away. And the shattering glass from the shot killed two other people in the room. But what persuades him most of all is New York Assistant District Attorney Nance Laurel, who believes the killing was ordered by a government agency. She hopes, with Rhyme's help, to prosecute both the person who ordered the killing and the shooter himself.
What Rhyme and his team don't realize is that they are dealing with an individual who knows their every move. He is able to get inside information on their progress and decides to cover his tracks and eliminate any and all witnesses.
The numerous twists and turns in "The Kill Room" are so fast and furious that by the novel's end, the reader will be dizzy — and clamoring for more.

Puppet Master III (UK - BD RB)
Marcus takes a trip back in time to watch an evil puppet show with the Nazis...
Berlin 1941. Andre Toulon (Guy Rolfe) has set up a politically satirical puppet show for children but when the Nazis delve deeper into his show, they realise there is more making Toulon's puppets come to life and systematically destroy Toulon's life to obtain his secrets.
Flashback time. After Puppet Master II's attempt to bring something new to the table (human sized puppets with spirits of the dead controlling them), the threequel wisely pretends that never happened and goes back to Toulon's past and the secrets behind the animated puppets and their supernatural power.
Saying this third outing is a better plotted story than the previous movie isn't saying too much but it is and it also manages to give the puppets some sort of narrative spine while holding back on the more campy elements (though of course they are not totally gone). Sure, the puppets still feel like an attacker that anyone could fight off with the minimum of effort (yet can't seem to) and the closer you look at the film, the more ridiculous a view of wartime Germany it seems to be but something about the combination of wild Nazis, husbands seeking revenge and the supernatural feels easier to swallow than what had come before in Puppet Master II.
I wouldn't call myself a fan of the Puppet Master series as such but I'm closing in on having seen half of this franchise now and I can't deny a bit of me was intrigued by the history of the puppets and how they came to be in this story. Sure it's kinda dumb and it's all very typical for this area of the horror genre but like most horror origin stories it's hard to turn away, even when they are terrible movies. Thankfully Puppet Master III isn't a terrible movie, it's just a sort of silly one but at least the story in this one had something to get invested in and director David DeCoteau handles the craziness very well indeed.
This is pretty much the same overhaul as what was seen with Puppet Master II. There's a slightly murkier appearance in places as this is a darker movie and there's a fair bit of digital noise and grain that sometimes feels as if we're looking at the film through gauze but even with all that said, there's obviously a vast HD improvement here.
Colours are strong and warm, detail can be crisp and in some cases quite amazing considering the 1991 release of this direct-to-video horror. The close ups for the puppets can look amazing and certainly are the best the models have looked at the this point in the franchise and despite the film's micro budget, this Blu-ray release far outshines what you'd expect of it and in some elements even rivals much bigger studio horror of the same era.
The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track feels incredibly hollow and extremely centre based. The track just doesn't spread far enough. There's a bit of over bearing bass in certain sections that sounds unbalanced and the score sounds a little wavy like a wobbly tape in places too. Hiss plays a big part in the dialogue and sound effects and both of these elements vary between feeling adequate and a bit thin within the track. Of course, overall this is an improvement to what must have been available in the film's history but this is a track that probably didn't need the 5.1 option and should have stuck with the 2.0 track, that is also on the disc and is more akin to what you'd expect from the film.
We start with the same 'Charles Band Introduction' (02:35 HD) as what was on the Puppet Master 2 disc. The commentary with Director David Decoteau and screenwriter of C. Coutney Joyner, is a fun track as they let us in to the world of Full Moon productions and the Puppet Master franchise. It's good for behind the scenes stories as the duo share their insight but it's not all that engaging.
There's also another of the retro awesome 'Videozone making of' videos (25:20 SD) from their video magazine series as well as a trailer and a couple of commercials for the toys.
Well Puppet Master III was an improvement over Puppet Master II but at the end of the day it's still just a low budget movie about unconvincing killer puppets (even if the crazy Nazi spin somehow makes it more convincing). The disc is another pretty impressive upgrade for a low budget, early nineties horror but the sound is lacking and the extras only just about delivers with their retro goodness.

No. 15 Butler takes on Duquesne in A-10 affairFeb 19, 2013 - 3:41 PM Indianapolis, IN (Sports Network) - The Duquesne Dukes are hoping for an upset as they visit Hinkle Fieldhouse to face the No. 15 Butler Bulldogs.
This is the first meeting between Duquesne and first-year A-10 member Butler since the two met in a home-and-home series as members of the Midwestern Collegiate Conference in 1992-93. The Dukes and Bulldogs split home wins that season.
First-year head coach Jim Ferry's Dukes finally ended an 11-game losing streak with an 84-83 victory at Temple on Feb. 14, but the triumph was short-lived as they suffered a 67-62 setback to Rhode Island at home on Saturday. The young Duquesne squad has been led in scoring by a freshman in each of the past six games. Derrick Colter, who leads the team in scoring with 13.2 ppg, tallied 20 points and seven assists in the loss to the Rams.
Three of DU's top five scorers are freshmen: Colter (13.2 ppg.), Quevyn Winters (9.2) and Jeremiah Jones (8.0) and they combined to earn A-10 Rookie of the Week honors for three straight weeks in December. The young unit has not been too impressive statistically as it is 10th in the A-10 in scoring with 68.1 ppg and 15th on the defensive end of the floor with 74.3 allowed points per tilt.
Brad Stevens's Bulldogs, who are 12-1 at home, are coming off a hard-fought, 68-63 victory at Fordham behind a 22-point performance by Rotnei Clarke. Butler shot just 39.2 percent from the field, but added 22 points at the charity stripe to hold off the inspired Rams. Clarke has been the engine to Butler's success this season as he leads the team with 17.2 ppg.
Andrew Smith returned to the lineup for the visit to Rose Hill Gym and made his presence felt with 12 points in 30 minutes of action. Roosevelt Jones and Kellen Dunham add 10.7 and 10.5 points per game to the fold, respectively, while Khyle Marshall nets 9.8 ppg. Marshall is fourth in the A-10 in field goal percentage (.545). The Bulldogs are a perfect 13-0 when he reaches double- figures.
Smith will have to battle Duquesne's senior center Andre Marhold, who posted his second career double-double with 15 points and a career-high 15 rebounds at Temple last Thursday and followed that with a career high-tying five blocks vs. Rhode Island. He is averaging 11.3 ppg and 10.3 rpg and shooting .762 (16- of-21) in his past three games.
No one has shouted yet.
Be the first!
Be the first!

Some angry Bronco fans prep for Jay Day
So the party line out of Dove Valley (and the Bears' headquarters in Chicago, too) is that Sunday's game between the Broncos and Bears is just another preseason game. You know, a chance for both teams to work out kinks and test out new players and schemes.
Yeah, right.
Fans, at least fans here in Denver, know better.
That's why a bar-full of die-hard Broncos fans gathered Saturday afternoon to destroy Jay Cutler jerseys — jerseys they had spent money on and proudly worn in years past.
The folks at Wrigley's Chicago Bar in Golden (yes, ironically the event was held at a Chicago-fan bar) couldn't get a permit to burn the jerseys, but they set up an orange-and-blue toilet for flushing jerseys away, a can of tar to tar-and-feather the jerseys and other tools (a giant sander, a weed whacker) in order to destroy the No. 6 jerseys.
"We're tired of all the spoiled brat, punk sports figures," said Jamison Coomes, who sold anti-Cutler T-shirts and stickers at the event. "Brandon's the next one."
Coomes was referring, of course, to Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall, who was suspended by the team on Friday for "conduct detrimental to the club."
Marti Silburn was the first to destroy a jersey, by flushing it. Silburn, who along with her husband is a season ticket holder, said she didn't like the way Cutler handled his exit from Denver. Silburn is a teacher, and she said Cutler — and now Marshall — have set terrible examples of how to behave.
"That's why there is such anger," Silburn said. "Stop acting like a spoiled brat."
(Silburn, right, flushes away a white Jay Cutler jersey Saturday afternoon.)

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Decades ago, Israel joined a global effort to eradicate the polio virus, and for years it appeared that campaign had been successful. Now, polio has returned, and Israel is preparing to inoculate more than one million children to ensure the debilitating condition finds no more victims in the Holy Land.
On Sunday, 1,000 children's clinics across Israel began administering an oral vaccination to children born after January 1, 2004.
Israelis still receive a polio vaccination as babies, but until now a dead sample of the virus was used. The new vaccinations use a significantly weakened live polio virus. The vaccination received as infants will protect the children from the live strain in the new vaccination, and, because it is still alive, that weakened strain will also spread to those around.
From the one million children inoculated, the vaccine is expected to spread to the entire population. Health Ministry officials stressed that while there was nothing to fear from the vaccine, the renewed polio threat is very real.
It is believed that the resurgent virus first made a comeback in Egypt last December. From there is crossed the border to the Bedouin community living in southern Israel. Now, it has been found in patients across southern Israel and into the populous coastal plain.
"The danger from this disease is real and imminent, and is not expected to disappear if the children go unvaccinated," warned a Health Ministry statement.

Winter is one of the best times to visit New Orleans. Mardi Gras beckons in mid- February. The Super Bowl will be played Feb. 3 at the Superdome. And the San Francisco 49ers look like legitimate Super Bowl contenders.
Winter is one of the best times to visit New Orleans. Mardi Gras beckons in mid- February. The Super Bowl will be played Feb. 3 at the Superdome. And the San Francisco 49ers look like legitimate Super Bowl contenders.
For those reasons organizers of San Joaquin County's annual Super Bowl Raffle say they believe this is a perfect time to go after tickets for Super Bowl XLVII (47).
Six grand prize winners will get two seats each. They also will receive $2,000 in spending money.
It's the fourth year for the raffle, made possible by the Spanos family and other businesses that have made donations. Stockton residents Alex and Faye Spanos provided the 12 Super Bowl tickets and the cash.
There also are 10 other cash prizes of $1,000 each and 10 others of $500 each. Prizes include a high-definition TV, laptop computer, digital camera, Kindle readers, Napa winery tour, iPads and tickets to University of the Pacific basketball games.
Tickets the San Francisco Giants, Oakland Raiders, San Diego Chargers, Stockton Thunder and Stockton Ports also are part of the raffle.
All together, the raffle is offering $50,000 in cash and prizes.
United Way Director Andy Prokop said he believes just buying a raffle ticket will make you a winner.
"When you buy a Super Bowl Raffle ticket, you've already won by helping a nonprofit organization serve someone who needs help," he said. "So every one wins."
The raffle tickets cost $100 each. Last year, there were more than 3,000 entries.
Over the past three years, the raffle has raised more than $1 million.
Ninety percent of the proceeds will go toward supporting 25 local charities, including the United Way. Those who enter can designate the philanthropic nonprofit group of their choice.
The raffle is being coordinated by Community Foundation of San Joaquin.
Linda Phillips, CEO and president of the foundation, offers another reason for buying tickets before the Dec. 19 drawing.
"People are beginning to do Christmas shopping, and this is a really great holiday gift," said Phillips, who suggested family members get together to purchase raffle tickets. "And, as Andy says, they've already won because they've helped."
She also pointed out the funds raised are unrestricted. Each nonprofit beneficiary can use the money as it sees fit. "The money can be used as operational funds, which sometimes is desperately needed by these agencies," Phillips said.
The raffle has more cash and more prizes this year, Phillips said. "We're trying to make it really fun and appealing, even if you don't win one of the six grand prizes."
Prokop said he buys tickets every year, hoping to win. "I've always wanted to go to the Super Bowl, but this year I really want to go. The 49ers look real."
