only 2030% of patients with group a beta hemolytic streptococcus ( gabhs ) pharyngitis presents with classical symptoms of the disease .
reliance on clinical judgment alone has a poor predictive value and results in 80% to 95% overestimation of disease [ 2 , 3 ] .
diagnostic strategies for acute gabhs pharyngitis are thus based on epidemiological factors , signs , and symptoms , as well as the result of throat cultures ( tcs ) .
several studies have shown that the use of throat culture leads to more judicious use of antibiotics [ 57 ] .
physicians prescribe antibiotics for acute pharyngitis as they are concerned that patients with this complaint may be suffering from gabhs infection that if left untreated might develop suppurative complications , such as , tonsillar abscess or nonsuppurative complications , such as , rheumatic fever [ 6 , 8 ] . antibiotics , however ; confer only minor symptomatic benefits for gabhs sore throat .
they shorten the duration of symptoms by merely half a day on average [ 8 , 9 ] .
more recent studies have shown that antibiotic use only reduced the incidence of rheumatic fever by a mere 0.5 cases per 100,000 .
the importance of preventing rheumatic fever has lessened as the incidence of rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease has declined significantly in the last 20 years , from a mean annual incidence of 13.4 per 100,000 to 5 per 100,000 .
prevalence has decreased as well from 5.7 per 1,000 in the eighties to 0.5 per 1,000 in 2000 [ 8 , 10 , 11 ] .
this failure probably stems from the fact that about 20% of children with gabhs is infected with bacteria which contain m protein , a virulence factor located on the surface of the bacterial wall that confers resistance to commonly used antibiotics .
newer beta - lactamase - resistant antibiotics did not prevent this treatment failure [ 13 , 14 ] .
review of the literature from 1945 to 1999 , which includes 10,484 cases of gabhs sore throat , found that antibiotic treatment reduced the occurrence of acute otitis media , a common complication of this disease , by a mere 25% , compared to the placebo group and sinusitis by only 50% .
rheumatic fever , a nonsuppurative complication , was reduced by less than 33% , compared to placebo [ 8 , 10 , 11 , 15 ] .
in addition to the uncertainly in the scientific literature , parents seem to be uncertain regarding the benefits of antibiotic treatment for acute gabhs pharyngitis and tend to stop treatment earlier than prescribed . in a pilot study
, we randomly followed 75 children with gabhs pharyngitis for 6 months and have found that more than 75% of them did not complete ten days of antibiotics .
this finding led us to conduct a multisite , prospective cohort observational study , the results of which are reported here .
the goal of this study was to determine whether noncompliance with antibiotic treatment affects short - term or long - term complications .
two central , primarily rural , and agricultural regions of the largest health maintenance organization ( hmo ) in israel , comprising approximately one million patients . using a standard protocol
, we located from our computerized data base 107,840 patients , aged 6 months to 18 years , who were examined by their primary care physician for upper respiratory tract infection , tonsillitis , pharyngitis , sore throat , tonsillopharyngitis , neck pain , cervical lymphadenopathy , pta , rpa , from january 1 , 1999 until december 31 , 2000 .
we then accessed the charts of 78,473 of these children who were diagnosed with infected throat or one of the differential variants , excluding all children diagnosed as having viral upper respiratory infections .
47,000 of these patients were formally diagnosed with acute pharyngitis or acute tonsillitis and received a prescription for antibiotics , indicating that their physician suspected bacterial disease . in the index visit , 35,000 of these children had at least four out of five symptoms in the modified centor criteria used for this study and nadir modified breese epidemiological and clinical score card ( ecsc ) that has 91% sensitivity and 98% specificity when the score was above 15 ( score between 4 and 36 ) for the diagnosis of gabhs [ 1719 ] .
colonies yielding beta - hemolysis were grouped for surface carbohydrate assessment by using a latex bead agglutination test ( figure 1 ) . of the 6336 children ( with positive cultures with 4 or more centor criteria and 15 or higher ecsc ) , 4,775 parents consented to enroll their children to the study ( figure 1 ) . excluded from the study were children who were diagnosed as gabhs chronic carriers or who had suffered from post - gabhs complications ; had any chronic illness , such as , renal or hepatic impairment ; had bleeding disorder ; had congenital or acquired immunodeficiency or suffered from malignancy .
initial patient / parent contact was made by one of the authors ( m. sarrell ) within 3 to 5 days of the initial positive throat culture . at that time , initial information regarding the illness and whether a prescription for antibiotics was given by the primary care physician .
the attending physicians of the two thousand study patients were contacted by email within 48 hours of the enrollment by one author ( m. sarrell ) .
the physicians were requested to inform the authors of any additional cultures taken during therapy , and to request that they obtain two additional throat cultures and engage in improve adherence strategies by providing information , counseling , reminders , reinforcement , and if needed personal attention or supervision .
while repeated cultures are not routinely recommended for asymptomatic patients who have completed a course of antimicrobial therapy , in light of the poor compliance with treatment in the pilot study , performance of such follow - up cultures was considered important for the purposes of the study .
the first follow - up culture was performed within 10 to 14 days of the initial positive culture regardless of treatment status .
the purpose of this culture was verification of antibiotics treatment failure or persistence of gabhs in the oropharynx of the untreated patients .
the second additional throat culture was taken between days 21 and 30 after the initial positive culture , regardless of treatment status , to ascertain the presence of residual gabhs or recurrences . treating physicians
were also requested to obtain blood for liver enzymes , renal function tests , and urine analysis from all the participants and to perform annual follow - up evaluation thereafter .
a second patient / parent contact was made by our study coordinator within 10 to 14 days of initiation of antibiotic treatment .
she collected information about demographic characteristics , past medical history , febrile status , need for repeat throat culture during the treatment period ( that was not part of the study protocol ) , and type of medication prescribed . during this contact she obtained information about the number of days of actual treatment , omission compliance and complications , the patients / parents perceived as deriving from the treatment ( or lack thereof ) .
the computerized charts of the participants were searched within 2 to 4 weeks of the second patient / parent contact for additional information , including demographic characteristics , medical and environmental history , initial clinical data , such as , in - office fever evaluation , results of the physical examination , additional culture taken , type of antibiotics used , and disposition of prescription received .
a second search of the computerized medical charts was performed by our research assistant between 30 and 90 days of initiation of medical treatment , to ascertain that the 2 requested throat cultures were obtained . relapse or recurrence of clinical or bacterial pharyngitis ,
suppurative or nonsuppurative complication , or even whether the participants complained of any sore throat within 30 days of completion of treatment were also evaluated . in order to assure that all possible short - term complications that occurred within 90 days of the index case were obtained ,
an additional comprehensive search of the hmo database was done within 120 days of the second computer search .
we ascertained that findings that were either not available on the original computerized chart or were seen by other than their primary care physician , ( e.g. , emergency departments , patients that relocated ) , were not overlooked .
the charts of the participants were then reviewed by one of the authors on a yearly basis , from january 2000 to january 2010 , noting possible late nonsuppurative complications of gabhs infection .
no patients were lost to followup , even if they had changed physicians , due to our ability to track them through the centralized database to their new physician or another hmo .
the children that were enlisted to the army ( and thus not members of any hmo during their military service ) were contacted either through their former attending physician or the military physician .
minor treatment failure was defined as any clinical or bacterial recurrence of pharyngitis during the short - term follow - up period and its correlation to compliance with treatment .
major treatment failure was defined as retropharyngeal or peritonsillar abscess or long - term complications , such as rheumatic fever .
suppurative complications were chosen as a model , because the nonsuppurative complications ( rheumatic heart disease , arthritis , carditis ) have been practically eradicated in our region .
this cohort study was designed to analyze rare events ( according to the cioms classification 110 events per 10,000 children years ) .
the annual incidence of peritonsillar abscess ( pta ) in our region is 24 cases per 100,000 and the incidence of retropharyngeal abscess ( rpa ) is 57 cases per 100,000 .
power calculations suggested 6,500 to 7,000 person - years of intervention would be needed to detect a 22% difference in pta and rpa between the fully treated ( ft ) and partially treated ( pt ) arms of the study population .
furthermore , one - sided alpha of 0.025 , a statistical power of 95% , and the pta / rpa incidence given above showed that approximately 19,000 children - years would be needed to show the noninferiority of ft versus pt . since the primary outcome of interest is the pta / rpa hazard ratio between ft and pt .
the null hypothesis to be tested is hr pta / rpa > 2 ( i.e. , the pta / rpa hazard ratio for ft versus pt is higher or equal to 2 ) .
the pta / rpa hazard ratio was calculated for ft versus pt .   for purposes of analysis ,
participants were divided into four subgroups based on length of treatment : 1st subgroup ( untreated ) , those who did not receive any treatment , 2nd subgroup ( partially treated ) , children that received antibiotics for 1 to 3 days , 3rd subgroup ( mostly - treated ) , children treated for 4 to 6 days , and 4th subgroup ( fully - treated ) children treated between 7 to 10 days .
data are presented as proportions ( with 99% confidence intervals [ cis ] ) , means ( with sds ) , or medians ( with interquartile ranges ) , using pearson  tests , student 's tests , or fisher exact test .
comparisons of length of treatment according to time and treatment were assessed using the repeated measures and analysis of variance and the paired t test .
a 2-tailed p value of.05 was used to determine the statistical significance of differences observed between groups and to calculate confidence intervals around differences in sample means and odds ratios .
we used the mcnamara test to measure the changes between the groups and their subgroups regard to the length of antibiotic treatment .
over half of their children ( 1023 , 51% ) were between the ages of 6 months and 6.9 years , and over half 1,039 ( 52% ) were female .
the majority of children ( 1,821 , 91% ) were prescribed penicillin or amoxicillin , allergic or intolerant to penicillin were treated with cephalosporin 25 ( 1.5% ) , erythromycin 109 ( 5.5% ) , and azithromycin 45 ( 2.5% ) , all medication were prescribed twice daily for 10 days , except azithromycin once daily for 5 days .
no statistical correlation was found between the type of antibiotics , the children received , or the demographic characteristics and the complications found in the later medical examinations .
only 196 children ( 9.8% ) actually completed 10 days of antibiotic treatment . despite having received a prescription from their physician , two hundred and thirteen participants ( 11% )
did not start taking any treatment whatsoever , including those who did not even purchase antibiotics .
as shown in table 1 a no statistical correlation was found concerning length frequency and duration , palatability , number of daily dose of treatment , but a statistically significant difference was found between all the subgroups concerning the length of antibiotics treatment ( p   <
the majority of children ( 1192 , 59.6% ) had 3 days or less of fever , defined as any rectal temperature less than 38.5c or oral temperature less than 37.8c .
the majority of children ( 1591 , 80% ) received medication for four to six days at the most ( partially treated subgroup ) .
as illustrated in table 1 , the association between the duration of fever and the number of days of treatment was statistically significant ( p < .0001 ) .
of the 306 ( 15.3% ) children with clinically diagnosed recurrent tonsillopharyngitis , only 236 ( 12.3% ) had positive gabhs findings on the throat culture taken within 10 to 14 days after conclusion of the primary infection .
an additional thirty - four ( 1.7% ) had a positive second study culture ( taken 2130 days after the index positive gabhs culture ) .
of note is the fact that the majority ( 156 , 66% ) of the positive study culture at 1014 days were found among the subgroup treated for 7 to 10 days .
no such positive results were found in the subgroup treated for 1 up to 3 days .
furthermore , no positive gabhs throat cultures were found on the second study culture in the untreated group .
the majority ( 26 , 76% ) of positive gabhs cultures were in the mostly treated subgroups .
as illustrated in table 2 , these findings were both statistically significant ( p  <  .0001 ) ( table 2 ) .
cervical lymphadenitis , acute otitis media , and impetigo were the only suppurative complications noted .
110 ( 5.5% ) children developed cervical lymphadenitis , most ( 52 , 47% ) among the 6 to 7 days treatment subgroup and 33 ( 33% ) among the 4 to 5 days treatment subgroup , a significant difference among the treatment subgroups ( p < .0001 ) .
additionally , no children developed nonsuppurative complications during 10 years of followup nor did any of the children develop iga nephropathy during the follow - up period .
furthermore , they were no association between the five modified centor criteria and development of complication , even when stratified by type of antibiotics or the season of the year . altogether , 304 ( 15% )
new onset cases of acute otitis media ( aom ) were diagnosed within 30 days of the initial diagnosis .
however , only 31 ( 10% ) of those were in the untreated subgroup , as compared to 141 ( 46% ) in the 7 to 10 days treatment subgroup , 98 ( 38% ) in the 4 to 6 days treatment subgroup and 98 ( 33% ) in the 1 to 3 days subgroup , a statistically significant difference among the all treatment subgroups ( p  <  .0001 ) .   attempting to elucidate the possible causes for the differences between the recurrence of gabhs and the length of antibiotic treatment or clinical score on enrolment or illness severity , a multivariate stepwise logistic analysis was performed .
the duration of fever was the most significant predictor for such recurrence , age under 6 years being less significant , while treatment for 7 to 10 days had no significant influence on the recurrence of gabhs .
of note is that the contribution of the duration of fever was apparent even after controlling for the concomitant influence of age , gender , medical history , single- or two - parent home , type of antibiotics or the season of the year , and concomitant illnesses , such as , conjunctivitis , otitis media , upper respiratory infection , gastroenteritis , or lymphadenitis , which may have otherwise explained the influence of the length of treatment in relation to those illnesses ( table 3 ) .
this study found a very poor parent / child compliance to antibiotic treatment prescribed for symptomatic , culture - positive gabhs tonsillopharyngitis .
11% of children did not start taking any treatment at all , and only 10% completed a full course of treatment .
the reason for this low rate of compliance is unclear , but it coincides with other reported studies [ 14 , 16 ] . we speculate that a large proportion of lack of compliance is the parent 's sensation that antibiotics are potentially dangerous   and overprescribed [ 18 , 19 ] . despite this poor compliance , in our study as in others , there was a very low rate of suppurative complications .
furthermore , despite the poor compliance , we found no increase in the incidence of acute rheumatic fever , the most dreaded complication of gabhs , in our patients .
in fact , since the year 2000 , the incidence of rf in our region has declined from 2.2 per 100,000 to 0.2 per 100,000 in 2008 , according to the epidemiological department of the israeli ministry of health .
this is in concordance with other developed countries , including , the united states , where the original recommendation for 10 days of antibiotic treatment of gabhs originated . in that country ,
currently there are only 10 cases of rf per 100,000 patients with gabhs pharyngitis , and only 1 case per 10,000 patients with acute rheumatic fever develop rheumatic heart disease [ 2022 ] .
in fact , concomitant with the increased use of antibiotics , recurrence of gabhs in the usa rose from 9% and 10.7% in the years 1975 to 1979 , respectively , to 25.9% and 37.5% in the years 1995 to 1996 , despite the decline in acute rheumatic fever .
14% of patients in our study had a recurrent infection , proven by a gabhs - positive throat cultures .
this percentage is similar to other studies which found that penicillin failed to eradicate gabhs from the throat in approximately 13% to 26% of the patients evaluated [ 23 , 24 ] .
the majority of recurrences in our study were in the younger group ( mean age of 10.2 years , and 60% of them younger than 9.9 years ) .
this is consistent with other published studies where such recurrences were more frequent among children aged 1 to 8 years than among children aged between 13 and 19 years [ 24 , 25 ] .   historically ,
prescribing 10 days of oral penicillin began in the 1950s , substituting the intramuscular injections of long - acting parenteral penicillin , based on surrogate markers of eradication of gabhs from the tonsillopharynx . however , no study has conclusively proven that this practice unequivocally prevents acute rheumatic fever [ 26 , 27 ] . even though orally prescribed penicillin appeared to be equally effective for clinical and laboratory resolution of signs and symptoms , it is difficult to administer and expensive , considering the staggering financial burden of approximately 140 office visits per annum per 1,000 children younger than 15 years [ 28 , 29 ] . substituting azithromycin or cephalosporins for penicillin was found to produce better bacteriological and clinical results and also required a shorter course of treatment [ 30 , 31 ] .
our results may not apply to adults , sick people , or chronic gabhs carriers .
it does not address the optimal length of treatment required to achieve appropriate eradication of the microbe or whether complete eradication is required at all .
the method of pill / doses counts is not a good measure of adherence , but due to it simplicity and empiric nature it was found adequate for this study .
we were unable to assess the true variation of the incidence of acute rheumatic fever , due to the fact that this disease has been practically eradicated from our population .
our data suggest that the large majority of parents / patients stop administering antibiotics to their children who suffer from gabhs prior to the completion of the recommended course .
a more judicious use of antibiotics would promote and improve compliance , cut costs , and prove more convenient to parents and children alike .

 background .
 uncertainty exists concerning the necessity of 10-day antibiotic treatment of group a beta hemolytic streptococcus ( gabhs ) pharyngitis . objective . to assess the incidence of gabhs recurrence and suppurative and nonsuppurative complications in relation to compliance
 . methods .
 ( design ) . prospective cohort observational study .
 ( subjects ) .
 2,000 children aged 6 months to 18 years with sore throat and positive gabhs culture .
 ( main outcome measures ) .
 recurrence of symptomatic culture positive gabhs pharyngitis , incidence of suppurative , and long - term , regional , nonsuppurative complications of gabhs pharyngitis , over a ten year period . results .
 213 ( 11% ) of the children received no treatment .
 most children received antibiotics for only 46 days ( in correlation with the duration of fever , which in most cases lasted up to 3 days ) .
 three hundred and six ( 15.3% ) children had clinically diagnosed recurrent tonsillopharyngitis ; 236 ( 12.3% ) had positive gabhs findings within 10 to 14 days and thirty - four ( 1.7% ) within 2130 days after the index positive gabhs culture .
 the remaining 1.3% had no positive culture despite the clinical findings .
 almost all recurrences [ 236 ( 11.6% ) ] occurred within 14 days and 156 ( 7.6% ) in the fully treated group .
 the presence of fever during the first 3 days of the disease was the most significant predictor for recurrence .
 other predictors were the age younger than 6 years and the presence of cervical lymphadenitis .
 no increase in the incidence of nonsuppurative or suppurative complications was noted during the 10-year follow - up period , compared to the past incidence of those complications in israel .
 conclusions .
 our data suggests that the majority of children discontinue antibiotics for gabhs tonsillopharyngitis a day or two after the fever subsides .
 the incidence of complications in our study was not affected by this poor compliance .


neurofibromatosis affects 1:3,000 individuals , and characterized by largely benign but often debilitating tumors that grow in the nervous system .
its course is unpredictable : it can cause a variety of benign nerve tumors including plexiform , dermal , and optic glioma tumors ; in some cases malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors can develop in the plexiform tumours .
down 's syndrome is one of the most common and easily recognized genetic conditions in humans .
the estimated prevalence in the united states is approximately 15 per 10,000 live births ( ie , 1 out of every 700 )
most often , it is the result of nondisjunction on chromosome 21 during maternal meiotic division .
we herein present the case of a 17-year - old boy with complaints of skin lesions over the back associated with mild itching since 3 months .
he was a known case of down 's syndrome with a history of seizures in childhood [ figure 1 ] .
the lesions gradually increased in size and number , and similar lesions started developing over his forehead since 23 weeks . on examination , multiple skin colored papules of varying size were present over the entire back and the forehead .
velvety thickening of the skin and hyperpigmentation of the axillae suggestive of acanthosis nigricans was present .
the characteristic features of down 's syndrome , including simian crease , mongoloid facies , and mental retardation were present .
canities and a solitary keloid over the chest were also seen apart from the clinical features of down 's syndrome . on oral examination , scrotal tongue , abnormal dentition , and
other investigations such as ct scan brain , 2d echo , and ecg were normal .
histopathology of the nodule from the back revealed focally thinned out epidermis with intact basal layer ; the papillary dermis showed a mild perivascular infiltrate .
deeper dermis showed a benign spindle cell proliferation suggestive of neurofibromatosis [ figure 3 ] .
physical appearance of down 's syndrome ( a ) neurofibromas ( b ) sebaceous cyst ( c ) acanthosis nigricans , and axillary freckling ( d ) scrotal tongue focally thinned out epidermis with intact basal layer with the papillary dermis showing a mild perivascular infiltrate .
the presentation of a patient with two unrelated genetic disorders is uncommon , although not statistically impossible .
however , in two of these reports , a third medical condition was also present . in one report , breast cancer was reported . in the other ,
our patient had down 's syndrome , neurofibromatosis , dental anomalies , and ocular defects and keloids . in the large majority of cases , trisomy 21
there is no current evidence to support the idea that this is anything other than a chance occurrence .
the two conditions are not related , and the likelihood of a person being born with these two conditions is approximately 1 in 2,700,000 births .
they however overlap in their manifestations . both are associated with intellectual impairment to differing degrees .
macroglossia occurs in both conditions , as may facial , dental , and occlusal abnormalities .
hearing and speech are affected in both conditions , as may the ability to maintain an acceptable level of oral hygiene .
mutations in the gene results in abnormal control of cell growth , differentiation , and aberrant myelination . our patient with of neurofibrmatosis type 1 with down 's syndrome is the first such to have a keloid and sebaceous cyst apart from myopia and dental anomalies . the unpredictable nature and course of the two genetic disorders along with multiple acquired conditions in this patient make it difficult for patients , teachers , care givers , and medical / dental providers to create and maintain long - term care plans . the authors certify that they have obtained all appropriate patient consent forms . in the form the patient(s )
has / have given his / her / their consent for his / her / their images and other clinical information to be reported in the journal .
the patients understand that their names and initials will not be published and due efforts will be made to conceal their identity , but anonymity can not be guaranteed .

 we report a patient with down 's syndrome and neurofibromatosis who presented with a keloid , sebaceous cyst and acanthosis nigricans , along with dental and ophthalmological defects .
 the coexistence of neurofibromatosis type 1 and down 's syndrome which are two unrelated genetic conditions is itself a rarity .

I was wondering if anyone out there could enlighten me on this car I saw
the other day. It was a 2-door sports car, looked to be from the late 60s/
early 70s. It was called a Bricklin. The doors were really small. In addition,
the front bumper was separate from the rest of the body. This is
all I know. If anyone can tellme a model name, engine specs, years
of production, where this car is made, history, or whatever info you
have on this funky looking car, please e-mail.

your experiences with the procedure. Top speed attained, CPU rated speed,
add on cards and adapters, heat sinks, hour of usage per day, floppy disk
functionality with 800 and 1.4 m floppies are especially requested.

I will be summarizing in the next two days, so please add to the network
knowledge base if you have done the clock upgrade and haven't answered this
poll. Thanks.


well folks, my mac plus finally gave up the ghost this weekend after
starting life as a 512k way back in 1985.  sooo, i'm in the market for a
new machine a bit sooner than i intended to be...

i'm looking into picking up a powerbook 160 or maybe 180 and have a bunch
of questions that (hopefully) somebody can answer:

* does anybody know any dirt on when the next round of powerbook
introductions are expected?  i'd heard the 185c was supposed to make an
appearence "this summer" but haven't heard anymore on it - and since i
don't have access to macleak, i was wondering if anybody out there had
more info...

* has anybody heard rumors about price drops to the powerbook line like the
ones the duo's just went through recently?

* what's the impression of the display on the 180?  i could probably swing
a 180 if i got the 80Mb disk rather than the 120, but i don't really have
a feel for how much "better" the display is (yea, it looks great in the
store, but is that all "wow" or is it really that good?).  could i solicit
some opinions of people who use the 160 and 180 day-to-day on if its worth
taking the disk size and money hit to get the active display?  (i realize
this is a real subjective question, but i've only played around with the
machines in a computer store breifly and figured the opinions of somebody
who actually uses the machine daily might prove helpful).

* how well does hellcats perform?  ;)

thanks a bunch in advance for any info - if you could email, i'll post a
summary (news reading time is at a premium with finals just around the
corner... :( )

Do you have Weitek's address/phone number?  I'd like to get some information
about this chip.


From article <C5owCB.n3p@world.std.com>, by tombaker@world.std.com (Tom A Baker):

My understanding is that the 'expected errors' are basically
known bugs in the warning system software - things are checked
that don't have the right values in yet because they aren't
set till after launch, and suchlike. Rather than fix the code
and possibly introduce new bugs, they just tell the crew
'ok, if you see a warning no. 213 before liftoff, ignore it'.


Of course.  The term must be rigidly defined in any bill.

I doubt she uses this term for that.  You are using a quote allegedly
from her, can you back it up?

I read the article as presenting first an argument about weapons of mass
destruction (as commonly understood) and then switching to other topics.
The first point evidently was to show that not all weapons should be
allowed, and then the later analysis was, given this understanding, to
consider another class.


There were a few people who responded to my request for info on
treatment for astrocytomas through email, whom I couldn't thank
directly because of mail-bouncing probs (Sean, Debra, and Sharon).  So
I thought I'd publicly thank everyone.

Thanks!

(I'm sure glad I accidentally hit "rn" instead of "rm" when I was
trying to delete a file last September. "Hmmm... 'News?' What's
this?"....)


ALL this shows is that YOU don't know much about SCSI.

SCSI-1 {with a SCSI-1 controler chip} range is indeed 0-5MB/s
and that is ALL you have right about SCSI
SCSI-1 {With a SCSI-2 controller chip}: 4-6MB/s with 10MB/s burst {8-bit}
 Note the INCREASE in SPEED, the Mac Quadra uses this version of SCSI-1
 so it DOES exist. Some PC use this set up too.
SCSI-2 {8-bit/SCSI-1 mode}:          4-6MB/s with 10MB/s burst
SCSI-2 {16-bit/wide or fast mode}:  8-12MB/s with 20MB/s burst
SCSI-2 {32-bit/wide AND fast}:     15-20MB/s with 40MB/s burst

By your OWN data the "Although SCSI is twice as fast as ESDI" is correct
With a SCSI-2 controller chip SCSI-1 can reach 10MB/s which is indeed
"20% faster than IDE" {120% of 8.3 is 9.96}. ALL these SCSI facts have been
posted to this newsgroup in my Mac & IBM info sheet {available by FTP on
sumex-aim.stanford.edu (36.44.0.6) in the info-mac/report as
mac-ibm-compare[version #].txt (It should be 173 but 161 may still be there)}

Part of this problem is both Mac and IBM PC are inconsiant about what SCSI
is which.  Though it is WELL documented that the Quadra has a SCSI-2 chip
an Apple salesperson said "it uses a fast SCSI-1 chip" {Not at a 6MB/s,
10MB/s burst it does not. SCSI-1 is 5MB/s maximum synchronous and Quadra
uses ANsynchronous SCSI which is SLOWER}  It seems that Mac and IBM see
SCSI-1 interface and think 'SCSI-1' when it maybe a SCSI-1 interface driven
in the machine by a SCSi-2 controller chip in 8-bit mode {Which is MUCH
FASTER then true SCSI-1 can go}.


I have win 3.0 and downloaded several icons and BMP's but I can't figure out
how to change the "wallpaper" or use the icons.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanx,

I've had the board for over a year, and it does work with Diskdoubler,
but not with Autodoubler, due to a licensing problem with Stac Technologies,
the owners of the board's compression technology. (I'm writing this
from memory; I've lost the reference. Please correct me if I'm wrong.)

Using the board, I've had problems with file icons being lost, but it's
hard to say whether it's the board's fault or something else; however,
if I decompress the troubled file and recompress it without the board,
the icon usually reappears. Because of the above mentioned licensing
problem, the freeware expansion utility DD Expand will not decompress
a board-compressed file unless you have the board installed.

Since Stac has its own product now, it seems unlikely that the holes
in Autodoubler/Diskdoubler related to the board will be fixed.
Which is sad, and makes me very reluctant to buy Stac's product since
they're being so stinky. (But hey, that's competition.)

Calculation of prompt diphoton production cross sections at Tevatron and
  LHC energies

Abstract:
  A fully differential calculation in perturbative quantum chromodynamics is
presented for the production of massive photon pairs at hadron colliders. All
next-to-leading order perturbative contributions from quark-antiquark,
gluon-(anti)quark, and gluon-gluon subprocesses are included, as well as
all-orders resummation of initial-state gluon radiation valid at
next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy. The region of phase space is
specified in which the calculation is most reliable. Good agreement is
demonstrated with data from the Fermilab Tevatron, and predictions are made for
more detailed tests with CDF and DO data. Predictions are shown for
distributions of diphoton pairs produced at the energy of the Large Hadron
Collider (LHC). Distributions of the diphoton pairs from the decay of a Higgs
boson are contrasted with those produced from QCD processes at the LHC, showing
that enhanced sensitivity to the signal can be obtained with judicious
selection of events.


Sparsity-certifying Graph Decompositions

Abstract:
  We describe a new algorithm, the $(k,\ell)$-pebble game with colors, and use
it obtain a characterization of the family of $(k,\ell)$-sparse graphs and
algorithmic solutions to a family of problems concerning tree decompositions of
graphs. Special instances of sparse graphs appear in rigidity theory and have
received increased attention in recent years. In particular, our colored
pebbles generalize and strengthen the previous results of Lee and Streinu and
give a new proof of the Tutte-Nash-Williams characterization of arboricity. We
also present a new decomposition that certifies sparsity based on the
$(k,\ell)$-pebble game with colors. Our work also exposes connections between
pebble game algorithms and previous sparse graph algorithms by Gabow, Gabow and
Westermann and Hendrickson.


The evolution of the Earth-Moon system based on the dark matter field
  fluid model

Abstract:
  The evolution of Earth-Moon system is described by the dark matter field
fluid model proposed in the Meeting of Division of Particle and Field 2004,
American Physical Society. The current behavior of the Earth-Moon system agrees
with this model very well and the general pattern of the evolution of the
Moon-Earth system described by this model agrees with geological and fossil
evidence. The closest distance of the Moon to Earth was about 259000 km at 4.5
billion years ago, which is far beyond the Roche's limit. The result suggests
that the tidal friction may not be the primary cause for the evolution of the
Earth-Moon system. The average dark matter field fluid constant derived from
Earth-Moon system data is 4.39 x 10^(-22) s^(-1)m^(-1). This model predicts
that the Mars's rotation is also slowing with the angular acceleration rate
about -4.38 x 10^(-22) rad s^(-2).


A determinant of Stirling cycle numbers counts unlabeled acyclic
  single-source automata

Abstract:
  We show that a determinant of Stirling cycle numbers counts unlabeled acyclic
single-source automata. The proof involves a bijection from these automata to
certain marked lattice paths and a sign-reversing involution to evaluate the
determinant.

From dyadic $\Lambda_{\alpha}$ to $\Lambda_{\alpha}$

Abstract:
  In this paper we show how to compute the $\Lambda_{\alpha}$ norm, $\alpha\ge
0$, using the dyadic grid. This result is a consequence of the description of
the Hardy spaces $H^p(R^N)$ in terms of dyadic and special atoms.


Bosonic characters of atomic Cooper pairs across resonance

Abstract:
  We study the two-particle wave function of paired atoms in a Fermi gas with
tunable interaction strengths controlled by Feshbach resonance. The Cooper pair
wave function is examined for its bosonic characters, which is quantified by
the correction of Bose enhancement factor associated with the creation and
annihilation composite particle operators. An example is given for a
three-dimensional uniform gas. Two definitions of Cooper pair wave function are
examined. One of which is chosen to reflect the off-diagonal long range order
(ODLRO). Another one corresponds to a pair projection of a BCS state. On the
side with negative scattering length, we found that paired atoms described by
ODLRO are more bosonic than the pair projected definition. It is also found
that at $(k_F a)^{-1} \ge 1$, both definitions give similar results, where more
than 90% of the atoms occupy the corresponding molecular condensates.

Polymer Quantum Mechanics and its Continuum Limit

16 pages, no figures. Typos corrected to match published version

Abstract:
  A rather non-standard quantum representation of the canonical commutation
relations of quantum mechanics systems, known as the polymer representation has
gained some attention in recent years, due to its possible relation with Planck
scale physics. In particular, this approach has been followed in a symmetric
sector of loop quantum gravity known as loop quantum cosmology. Here we explore
different aspects of the relation between the ordinary Schroedinger theory and
the polymer description. The paper has two parts. In the first one, we derive
the polymer quantum mechanics starting from the ordinary Schroedinger theory
and show that the polymer description arises as an appropriate limit. In the
second part we consider the continuum limit of this theory, namely, the reverse
process in which one starts from the discrete theory and tries to recover back
the ordinary Schroedinger quantum mechanics. We consider several examples of
interest, including the harmonic oscillator, the free particle and a simple
cosmological model.


Numerical solution of shock and ramp compression for general material
  properties

Journal of Applied Physics, vol 104, 073536 (2008)

Abstract:
  A general formulation was developed to represent material models for
applications in dynamic loading. Numerical methods were devised to calculate
response to shock and ramp compression, and ramp decompression, generalizing
previous solutions for scalar equations of state. The numerical methods were
found to be flexible and robust, and matched analytic results to a high
accuracy. The basic ramp and shock solution methods were coupled to solve for
composite deformation paths, such as shock-induced impacts, and shock
interactions with a planar interface between different materials. These
calculations capture much of the physics of typical material dynamics
experiments, without requiring spatially-resolving simulations. Example
calculations were made of loading histories in metals, illustrating the effects
of plastic work on the temperatures induced in quasi-isentropic and
shock-release experiments, and the effect of a phase transition.

The Spitzer c2d Survey of Large, Nearby, Insterstellar Clouds. IX. The
  Serpens YSO Population As Observed With IRAC and MIPS

Abstract:
  We discuss the results from the combined IRAC and MIPS c2d Spitzer Legacy
observations of the Serpens star-forming region. In particular we present a set
of criteria for isolating bona fide young stellar objects, YSO's, from the
extensive background contamination by extra-galactic objects. We then discuss
the properties of the resulting high confidence set of YSO's. We find 235 such
objects in the 0.85 deg^2 field that was covered with both IRAC and MIPS. An
additional set of 51 lower confidence YSO's outside this area is identified
from the MIPS data combined with 2MASS photometry. We describe two sets of
results, color-color diagrams to compare our observed source properties with
those of theoretical models for star/disk/envelope systems and our own modeling
of the subset of our objects that appear to be star+disks. These objects
exhibit a very wide range of disk properties, from many that can be fit with
actively accreting disks to some with both passive disks and even possibly
debris disks. We find that the luminosity function of YSO's in Serpens extends
down to at least a few x .001 Lsun or lower for an assumed distance of 260 pc.
The lower limit may be set by our inability to distinguish YSO's from
extra-galactic sources more than by the lack of YSO's at very low luminosities.
A spatial clustering analysis shows that the nominally less-evolved YSO's are
more highly clustered than the later stages and that the background
extra-galactic population can be fit by the same two-point correlation function
as seen in other extra-galactic studies. We also present a table of matches
between several previous infrared and X-ray studies of the Serpens YSO
population and our Spitzer data set.


Partial cubes: structures, characterizations, and constructions

Abstract:
  Partial cubes are isometric subgraphs of hypercubes. Structures on a graph
defined by means of semicubes, and Djokovi\'{c}'s and Winkler's relations play
an important role in the theory of partial cubes. These structures are employed
in the paper to characterize bipartite graphs and partial cubes of arbitrary
dimension. New characterizations are established and new proofs of some known
results are given.
  The operations of Cartesian product and pasting, and expansion and
contraction processes are utilized in the paper to construct new partial cubes
from old ones. In particular, the isometric and lattice dimensions of finite
partial cubes obtained by means of these operations are calculated.

what's the difference between a forest and a wood?

Answer:
They're used interchangeably a lot. You'll get different answers from different resources, but the general consensus seems to be that woods are smaller than forests.

 >  A wood is an area covered in trees, larger than a grove or a copse. A forest is also an area covered in trees, but it is larger than a wood

 >  The U.S. National Vegetation Classification system differentiates them according to their densities: 25 to 60 percent of a a wood is covered by tree canopies, while 60 to 100 percent of a forest is canopied.


we do we instinctively grab a part of our body after it is hurt?

I just tweaked my wrist and my immediate reaction was to grasp it. I have no idea if grabbing it actually does anything, but it seems to be a natural reaction for most people when a body part hurts. Why is that?

Answer:
A) instinct. To protect it from further damage (if the damaging agent is ongoing) or to prevent bleeding and such.

B) pain. Our brain knows that pressure sensation blocks pain sensation from experience. So we reflexively grab the injury site because it alleviates the pain.

Edit: English and clarity

Answer: So you have 2 different types of pressure sensors in your skin, superficial or closer to the surface and deep. Pressure sensors report back to the brain faster than pain sensors do so you can "jam the signal" ish by applying pressure. Say you put your hand on a hot burner, the spine has limited commands it can give to the body in case the brain can't give commands (see stroke victims) or to protect the body from further damage. This means that the pain signal follows tracks of nerve impulses  to the spine where a quick response is sent back while a detailed report of the pain is sent to the sensory part of the brain for further analysis. The brain follows up the damage report by checking sensation, applying pressure or grabbing the area. Typically you also visually check it as well to see how the skin in the area is doing.


what causes "flashing lights", or blurry vision after strenuous physical activity?

Had this happen to my younger brother.  My parents are convinced he has a concussion and are having him see multiple doctors and are preventing him from doing any physical activity until further notice, as well as most-likely inhibiting him from joining the wrestling team for his high school. I don't want this to happen.

He had no significant amount of water before an hour workout that included 10 minutes of jump roping followed by 50 minutes of lifting.

My brother claims to have seen flashing lights after he stood up from a 10 minute car ride home.

Answer:
**NOTE**: I am not a medical doctor, and this is not a diagnosis; just the best attempt I can at explaining it.

It's likely caused by the gel inside of his eyes rubbing on or pulling at the retina. If he stood up after a car ride, it can cause a change in blood pressure as well, which would lead to less oxygen going to the brain and some experience flashes of light along with a narrowing of the field of vision.


if an ambulance on its way to a call witnesses an accident, what do they do?

Answer: It depends on the severity of the accident compared to the severity of the call they're en route to.  If they see a horrible car wreck, and they're on a call for a broken bone, they'll stop for the wreck and radio in to let the dispatcher know to send out a new ambulance for the initial call.  However, if they were on their way to a heart attack victim, they'll likely radio in and request a new ambulance for the wreck.

how do i know that i don't have depth perception?

Could I lack depth perception and just not know it?

Answer:
Sure, if you've never experienced true binocularity (brain fusing each eye's image into one that is 3D), you might not realize you don't have it. It's possible to develop that skill so long as both eyes are physically intact and functional and so is your brain. Neuroscience ftw!

 A book that discusses this is "Stereo Sue" by Sue Barry about a lady scientist who didn't realize that very thing she was in her 50s and was able to regain it. It's an interesting story!


since oil  &  water don't mix, how are essential oil soaks helpful?

Doesn't the oil just sit on the surface, like it looks, reaching the intended body parts only in the small area that intersects with the top of the water? Or does it slowly mix with the water?

Answer: As far as I know there is no scientific proof that essential oils work anyway, but yes your skin can only absorb so much.

Answer: Essential oils are worthless for everything but smelling good anyway,  so adding water certainly doesn't improve anything


if a nuclear bomb is dropped on other nuclear bombs that are idle on the ground, will it create a double explosion or do these weapons need to become 'activated' in order for them to be able to detonate?

Answer:
a nuclear device functions by joining two or more chunks of radioactive material with explosive force together attaining a critical sustainable mass. A nuke dropped on nukes would not trigger this....the grounded nukes could only, theoretically, add to the radioactive fallout as their unspent nuclear material is scattered about

Ps your premise is a bit flawed as MOST nukes are detonated ABOVE a target, not on impact with it.

Answer: Nuclear bombs need to be set off in a controlled way in order to explode in the massive yield they normally would. However they contain conventional explosives which would certainly spread radioactive material around. But if you are setting them off with a nuke that won't be a big impact.

Answer:
In any design that's actually been built the nuclear bomb can't be detonated externally, they must be triggered through a very specific and carefully timed sequence of events.

Bombing them would just damage them and possibly scatter radioactive material.

Answer:
Depends on a lot of things.

Nuclear bombs work by changing the critical mass of the nuclear fuel. "Critical mass" is the amount of nuclear material you need to have a sustained nuclear reaction. You can artificially make a smaller-than-critical mass into a critical mass in several ways. One way is to cover it with a material that reflects neutrons (which would cause all the neutrons that would've escaped outwards from the material to reflect back inwards, generally used in nuclear reactors and research), but another way is to change the temperature and pressure of the material (which is done in nuclear weapons by using "explosive lenses" which is a fancy way of saying you surround it with conventional explosives).

Without those explosives going off (and a few other things I'd guess) that nuclear weapon isn't actually fissile (able to undergo fission). A nuclear explosion above the silo where the bombs are stored is just as likely to vaporize the exposive as anything else, not to mention that unless that explosion is able to actually trigger the explosive correctly it's not going to explode. (C4 and TNT for example are completely safe to burn, and only explode with specific stimulii.)

Answer: Detonating a nuclear bomb is a very precise process, a lot of complicated things have to happen in just the right order.  Even the most primitive bombs would be unlikely to go off in a high order explosion just because of a nearby explosion, nuclear or not.  Modern nuclear weapons are actually deliberately designed so this is impossible, as a safety measure.

Answer:
Nuclear weapons are conceptually simple, you smash together enough U-235 (a 'supercritical mass') and it goes boom. The hard part is making it go boom when you want it to, and NOT melt when it's sitting in a silo.

There are two kinds of 'explosions' that occur in a nuclear weapon. The most obvious one is the nuclear fission chain reaction that makes a nuke what it is, which I'll call 'nuclear detonation'. The second kind of explosion (technically the first to happen) is what I'll call a 'primary detonation', which is a bunch of high explosives rigged precisely to trigger or 'ignite' the big boom.

There are two main ways in which these parts are put together, the 'Gun' and the 'implosion' methods. In the gun device, a big slug of U-235 is shot at high speed into another mass of U-235 that fits it like a glove, bringing together a supercritical mass. This device was constructed during the Manhattan Project by essentially strapping a bunch of expensive equipment and U-235 to an artillery piece and firing it. The second method uses a hollow sphere (also known as a pit) made of Uranium. In its hollow shape, the mass is not supercritical, but when it is compressed by the primary detonation into a solid ball, the mass becomes supercritical. It's a lot like crushing a soda can, but your hands are TNT and the soda can is going to blow your block party off the map.

In both methods of detonation, the critical mass must be brought together very quickly and very precisely. Otherwise, instead of the desired nuclear ignition, a 'premature detonation' will occur, severely reducing the weapon's power (loads better for the world than premature ejaculation ;).

So, to answer the question, if a nuclear warhead were dropped on a warehouse full of nukes, it would NOT cause nuclear detonations in the other weapons. It would, however, cause lots of bad shit, including:

-Big Boom from the original warhead

-All of the nuclear materials in the bombs is now volatile nuclear waste that may be in various states of criticality and may or may not fissioning and creating more hazardous waste. To get an idea of what this could develop into in the worst case scenario, read up on the elephant's foot at Chernobyl. Its not exactly the same situation, but Chernobyl gives us an idea of how difficult it is to move and protect ourselves from uncontained fission materials.

-Detonation of high explosives from primary detonation systems of other bombs. This is unlikely to cause any nuclear detonations because the precision of the detonation is completely overwhelmed by the initial warhead, but explosives are explosives. TBH the size of these explosions is nothing compared to the initial weapon's power, and amounts to something like a mosquito bite on an arm that a bear just tore off of you.

-WWIII (Assuming some head-ass didn't bomb their own country, which almost happened once in North Carolina I think)

TL;DR: No, it won't cause a 'Double Explosion', but it's still a nuke, and it's gonna kill the heck out of you.

Side note: For similar reasons, nuking or crashing a plane into a nuclear power plant does not cause a nuclear detonation. Nuclear weapons are devices carefully orchestrated and calibrated to 'make the stars align' so to speak, and create the very narrow conditions that make a nuclear explosion possible. On the other hand, a power plant is designed to generate electricity in a sustained and controlled fashion, which inherently precludes the possibility of a nuclear detonation, simply because the specifications on how to trigger a nuclear detonation are so tight.


why do bottles of liquid have a dent/semi circle at the bottom of them?

My brother told me a while ago that it prevents it from exploding or something. Is there an act

Answer: Its to make the plastic stronger. Without it they would have to add much more plastic to make it stable, which is more expensive. The bottle wouldn't explode, but it would cause the thinner areas to sag and deform. That would increase the chance of it bursting apart when force is applied. But with the divot, that sort of outcome is essentially impossible.

Answer: It can be for strength, if the contents are under pressure, or it can just be so it will sit flat on a surface without rocking. You could in theory do that with a perfectly flat bottom, but that requires more precise and expensive molds(have to account for distortion as it cools too). Or it can be to make the bottle look bigger, compared to its volume.

Answer:
If you had a flat bottom it would simply bulge out. Now you would have a shitty bottle that can't stand. The dome simply distributes the forces evenly to the outside ring of the dome. It's the outside ring that has a bit more ridigity that prevents that from deforming.

I suggest you look up the making and design of a soda can on YouTube. It explains the engineering behind it. Pretty cool stuff.

Answer: The dent and curved rim on the bottom of a can gives it the strength to be stacked on without bursting

Answer: I can't speak much for glass bottles, but plastic bottles and aluminum cans have these features so that if they freeze, the plastic will bulge out and pop into a new position that gives the liquid more free volume to occupy. This prevents a sticky mess on the consumer's garage floor


the dow futures is reported to have dropped 700 points already. what does that mean for retirement funds, the market in general, etc...?

Answer:
It means that Mr. Market is scared, and the future looks really bleak.

The market believes a recession or worse is coming and that for the foreseeable future, things in an economic sense look bad.

Retirement funds are based heavily on the stock market (not entirely) which will go down correspondingly. However, they are also based to some degree on bonds, which generally go up when stocks go down.

Generally....

The thing is, no one really truly knows the answer. And if they did, they could use that knowledge to make money.

What it means for you and for me is that most experts foresee bad things happening.

Answer:
What u/Chumkil said but it is unlikely to be a long-lasting drop, the underlying economy is strong and, once the excitement has died down, the markets will return to their original state - i.e. rising.

The BBC were talking about this yesterday, apparently these flash-crashes are more to do with computer algorithm trading more than human sentiment. Their analyst's advice to investors was "play the long game and sit tight, use any significant drop to expand your portfolio."

Answer: What I don't understand is how the market is falling, when markets have been closed since 4:00pm EST and the first polls don't close until 7....I mean I can see how people will forecast the drop tonight, but wouldn't the market have to open in the morning to actually drop?

One of the other reviewers has mentioned that after watching just 1 Oz episode you'll be hooked. They are right, as this is exactly what happened with me.

The first thing that struck me about Oz was its brutality and unflinching scenes of violence, which set in right from the word GO. Trust me, this is not a show for the faint hearted or timid. This show pulls no punches with regards to drugs, sex or violence. Its is hardcore, in the classic use of the word.

It is called OZ as that is the nickname given to the Oswald Maximum Security State Penitentary. It focuses mainly on Emerald City, an experimental section of the prison where all the cells have glass fronts and face inwards, so privacy is not high on the agenda. Em City is home to many..Aryans, Muslims, gangstas, Latinos, Christians, Italians, Irish and more....so scuffles, death stares, dodgy dealings and shady agreements are never far away.

I would say the main appeal of the show is due to the fact that it goes where other shows wouldn't dare. Forget pretty pictures painted for mainstream audiences, forget charm, forget romance...OZ doesn't mess around. The first episode I ever saw struck me as so nasty it was surreal, I couldn't say I was ready for it, but as I watched more, I developed a taste for Oz, and got accustomed to the high levels of graphic violence. Not just violence, but injustice (crooked guards who'll be sold out for a nickel, inmates who'll kill on order and get away with it, well mannered, middle class inmates being turned into prison bitches due to their lack of street skills or prison experience) Watching Oz, you may become comfortable with what is uncomfortable viewing....thats if you can get in touch with your darker side.


A wonderful little production.

The filming technique is very unassuming- very old-time-BBC fashion and gives a comforting, and sometimes discomforting, sense of realism to the entire piece.

The actors are extremely well chosen- Michael Sheen not only "has got all the polari" but he has all the voices down pat too! You can truly see the seamless editing guided by the references to Williams' diary entries, not only is it well worth the watching but it is a terrificly written and performed piece. A masterful production about one of the great master's of comedy and his life.

The realism really comes home with the little things: the fantasy of the guard which, rather than use the traditional 'dream' techniques remains solid then disappears. It plays on our knowledge and our senses, particularly with the scenes concerning Orton and Halliwell and the sets (particularly of their flat with Halliwell's murals decorating every surface) are terribly well done.


I thought this was a wonderful way to spend time on a too hot summer weekend, sitting in the air conditioned theater and watching a light-hearted comedy. The plot is simplistic, but the dialogue is witty and the characters are likable (even the well bread suspected serial killer). While some may be disappointed when they realize this is not Match Point 2: Risk Addiction, I thought it was proof that Woody Allen is still fully in control of the style many of us have grown to love.

This was the most I'd laughed at one of Woody's comedies in years (dare I say a decade?). While I've never been impressed with Scarlet Johanson, in this she managed to tone down her "sexy" image and jumped right into a average, but spirited young woman.

This may not be the crown jewel of his career, but it was wittier than "Devil Wears Prada" and more interesting than "Superman" a great comedy to go see with friends.


Basically there's a family where a little boy (Jake) thinks there's a zombie in his closet & his parents are fighting all the time.

This movie is slower than a soap opera... and suddenly, Jake decides to become Rambo and kill the zombie.

OK, first of all when you're going to make a film you must Decide if its a thriller or a drama! As a drama the movie is watchable. Parents are divorcing & arguing like in real life. And then we have Jake with his closet which totally ruins all the film! I expected to see a BOOGEYMAN similar movie, and instead i watched a drama with some meaningless thriller spots.

3 out of 10 just for the well playing parents & descent dialogs. As for the shots with Jake: just ignore them.


Petter Mattei's "Love in the Time of Money" is a visually stunning film to watch. Mr. Mattei offers us a vivid portrait about human relations. This is a movie that seems to be telling us what money, power and success do to people in the different situations we encounter.

This being a variation on the Arthur Schnitzler's play about the same theme, the director transfers the action to the present time New York where all these different characters meet and connect. Each one is connected in one way, or another to the next person, but no one seems to know the previous point of contact. Stylishly, the film has a sophisticated luxurious look. We are taken to see how these people live and the world they live in their own habitat.

The only thing one gets out of all these souls in the picture is the different stages of loneliness each one inhabits. A big city is not exactly the best place in which human relations find sincere fulfillment, as one discerns is the case with most of the people we encounter.

The acting is good under Mr. Mattei's direction. Steve Buscemi, Rosario Dawson, Carol Kane, Michael Imperioli, Adrian Grenier, and the rest of the talented cast, make these characters come alive.

We wish Mr. Mattei good luck and await anxiously for his next work.


Probably my all-time favorite movie, a story of selflessness, sacrifice and dedication to a noble cause, but it's not preachy or boring. It just never gets old, despite my having seen it some 15 or more times in the last 25 years. Paul Lukas' performance brings tears to my eyes, and Bette Davis, in one of her very few truly sympathetic roles, is a delight. The kids are, as grandma says, more like "dressed-up midgets" than children, but that only makes them more fun to watch. And the mother's slow awakening to what's happening in the world and under her own roof is believable and startling. If I had a dozen thumbs, they'd all be "up" for this movie.


I sure would like to see a resurrection of a up dated Seahunt series with the tech they have today it would bring back the kid excitement in me.I grew up on black and white TV and Seahunt with Gunsmoke were my hero's every week.You have my vote for a comeback of a new sea hunt.We need a change of pace in TV and this would work for a world of under water adventure.Oh by the way thank you for an outlet like this to view many viewpoints about TV and the many movies.So any ole way I believe I've got what I wanna say.Would be nice to read some more plus points about sea hunt.If my rhymes would be 10 lines would you let me submit,or leave me out to be in doubt and have me to quit,If this is so then I must go so lets do it.


This show was an amazing, fresh & innovative idea in the 70's when it first aired. The first 7 or 8 years were brilliant, but things dropped off after that. By 1990, the show was not really funny anymore, and it's continued its decline further to the complete waste of time it is today.

It's truly disgraceful how far this show has fallen. The writing is painfully bad, the performances are almost as bad - if not for the mildly entertaining respite of the guest-hosts, this show probably wouldn't still be on the air. I find it so hard to believe that the same creator that hand-selected the original cast also chose the band of hacks that followed. How can one recognize such brilliance and then see fit to replace it with such mediocrity? I felt I must give 2 stars out of respect for the original cast that made this show such a huge success. As it is now, the show is just awful. I can't believe it's still on the air.


Encouraged by the positive comments about this film on here I was looking forward to watching this film. Bad mistake. I've seen 950+ films and this is truly one of the worst of them - it's awful in almost every way: editing, pacing, storyline, 'acting,' soundtrack (the film's only song - a lame country tune - is played no less than four times). The film looks cheap and nasty and is boring in the extreme. Rarely have I been so happy to see the end credits of a film.

The only thing that prevents me giving this a 1-score is Harvey Keitel - while this is far from his best performance he at least seems to be making a bit of an effort. One for Keitel obsessives only.


If you like original gut wrenching laughter you will like this movie. If you are young or old then you will love this movie, hell even my mom liked it.

Great Camp!!!

We have developed a systematic, quantified understanding of a specific problem: the design of mobile-friendly unique identifiers. But our results also apply to the design of other text-based services. There has been a trend toward bespoke and adaptive keyboards (e.g., Dunlop and Levine, 2012; Karrenbauer and Oulasvirta, 2014; Leiva et al., 2015; Wiseman et al., 2013). More often than not, though, input devices are a fixed constraint in the design of a service. Most users are typing on the keyboard that came with their phone. Those keyboards have advantages, limitations and quirks. The mode-switching that most touchscreen keyboards require to reach numbers and capital letters is at the root of design improvements we propose in this paper. When designing services, it is vital to be aware of the fixed constraints of a system and to then focus on the aspects of a service's design that can be controlled. Making changes to input data in this way is a cheap, quick and easy way to improve user experience.

For the reverse current analysis, for both scenarios (shading and short circuits) were tested on two systems, one system using standard silicon modules and another system using high efficiency modules. For the standard silicon system, a power of 50kWp was considered, with a system composed by 10 strings of 24 modules per string and an approximate system Voc of 864 [VDC]. For the high efficiency system, a power of 40kWp was considered, with a system composed by 10 strings of 18 modules per string and an approximate system Voc of 873 [VDC]. Fig. 5(a) shows the reverse current present in one string when different numbers of modules in the string are shaded by 90%. Fig. 5(b) shows the reverse current present in one string when different numbers of modules of the string are short-circuited. For both figures the continuous lines are for the standard silicon system and the dashed lines are for the high efficiency system.

Although the presented model is developed and tested with a-C:H layers in mind, it is not necessarily limited to them. Moreover, the only assumptions are chemical reactions between the gas and the solid forming volatiles, the loss of these volatiles from the material and the two stated boundary conditions of gas influx at a single outer surface and the possibility of reactions throughout the bulk. Porosity and significant gas inventories were observed not only for carbon [12] but, e.g. also for beryllium co-deposits [25] and can be expected for other co-deposits formed in plasma devices [1]. Thus, TCR and its description by the presented model may be applicable to all deposits. If a layer has constituents that are not forming volatiles with the reactive gas, e.g. W and Be with O2, these constituents cannot be removed by TCR, as they will not be removed from the deposit. This can influence the removal of other deposit constituents and the time evolution of the process can change. The new understanding of TCR may, for the first time, allow applying the method in a controlled way to nuclear fusion devices, possibly solving the tritium retention issue especially related to carbon based materials.

The existing GO methodology algorithm is theoretical, and hard to solve with computer. In this paper, we research a new method to get the reliability of system based on GO methodology. According to some properties of the operators in GO chart, GO chart can be transformed into series structure, then the minimal path sets are induced based on Enumeration method from first operator to last one. It is very convenient for computer to calculate the system reliability with the new method based on minimal path sets. The case study indicates the method is suitable for practical engineering, which can be used to possess the quantitative analysis of complex GO methodology models.

Another choice was to graft the fluorinated groups on the copolymers with functional groups. Casazza et al. [52] synthesized an acrylic terpolymer with pendent perfluoroether segments via grafting fluorinated groups into a poly(butyl methacrylate-co-hydroxyehtyl acrylate-co-ethyl acrylate) random copolymer through hexamethylene diisocyanate functionality. Malshe et al. [53,54] studied the coating properties of fluorinated acrylic copolymers based on MMA, BA, and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA). They partially esterified hydroxyl functionality of HEMA with tetrafluoro propanoic acid and cured the polymer with butylated melamine formaldehyde resin. Such methods were suited for the synthesis of copolymers containing complicated fluorinated groups or difficult to be provided directly by living polymerization.
