Romney Campaign Runs Into More Copyright Issues, This Time With 'Alternative' Rock Band
You'd think the Romney campaign would've learned their lesson the last time they had a copyright issue. Or from any of the other prominent copyright snafus involving major political campaigns. But no, they didn't, and now they're beefing with 'alternative' rock group Silversun Pickups.
The Silversun Pickups issued a cease-and-desist letter to the Republican nominee's campaign, claiming the campaign illegally used the LA band's 2009 hit "Panic Switch" before a campaign rally in North Carolina.
"We don't like people going behind our backs, using our music without asking, and we don't like the Romney campaign," Silversun Pickups lead singer Brian Aubert said in the statement. "We're nice, approachable people. We won't bite. Unless you're Mitt Romney! We were very close to just letting this go because the irony was too good. While he is inadvertently playing a song that describes his whole campaign, we doubt that 'Panic Switch' really sends the message he intends."
Fair enough. The Romney campaign just shrugged though, and in the process might have accidentally shown halfway decent musical taste.
"As anyone who attends Gov. Romney's events knows, this is not a song we would have played intentionally," she wrote. "That said, it was covered under the campaign's regular blanket license, but we will not play it again."
For what it's worth, the song is apparently crictical of Republicans, or so says the AP:
"Panic Switch," which seems to be an indictment of "red views" that "keep ripping the divide," helped the quartet earn a Grammy nomination for best new artist in 2009...
Either way, it's not quite Reagan attempting to co-opt "Born in the USA."

Praise, Blame, Despair: Right-Wing Media Can't Decide How To Feel About Boehner's Failed Plan B
Right-wing media have inconsistently responded to House Speaker John Boehner's (R-OH) failed attempt to pass his proposed "Plan B" to resolve the so-called "fiscal cliff" standoff, including praising conservative Republicans who opposed the measure, expressing regret that the measure didn't pass, questioning the viability of Boehner's speakership, and blaming President Obama for the plan's failure, despite Obama's concessions to the GOP.
Boehner's Proposed Plan B Failed To Garner Enough GOP Support In The House
CNN: "Boehner's Proposal To Avert The Looming Fiscal [Cliff] ... Failed To Curry Enough Republican Support Thursday Night." From CNN.com:
House Speaker John Boehner's proposal to avert the looming fiscal cliff's automatic tax increases failed to curry enough Republican support Thursday night, after which Congress left for the holiday with no clear end in sight in the high-stakes debate.
Boehner said earlier Thursday that he was confident that his so-called Plan B -- which would extend tax cuts that are set to expire at year's end for most people while allowing rates to increase to 1990s levels on income over $1 million -- would pass the House, and in the process put pressure on President Barack Obama and the Democratic-controlled Senate. But his gambit seemed in doubt later as Republican leaders struggled to get most all their members to sign on -- even enlisting senators like Sen. Rob Portman, to work the House floor -- knowing the chamber's Democrats oppose it.
Then, around 8 p.m., House Majority Leader Eric Cantor announced that the measure would not go up for a vote as planned.
"The House did not take up the tax measure today because it did not have sufficient support from our members to pass," Boehner said in a statement. "Now it is up to the president to work with Senator (Harry) Reid on legislation to avert the fiscal cliff." [CNN.com, updated 12/21/12 [1]]
Some Right-Wing Media Reacted By Praising Conservative Members' Obstructionism ...
Fox Nation: "Reagan's House Heroes Stop Plan B." Fox Nation linked to a post from The American Spectator that declared the Republicans who blocked Boehner's Plan B to be "[Ronald] Reagan's House Heroes." The post likened their actions to those of Reagan's "Reykjavik Moment," which resulted in a nuclear forces treaty with Russia, and his "air traffic controllers moment," when striking air traffic controllers were fired after ignoring Reagan's ultimatum.
The Fox Nation post contained the following image:
[The American Spectator, via Fox Nation, 12/21/12 [2]]
Hannity: "This Is A Victory For The American People. ... This Will Help Save America." During the December 20 edition of his Fox News show, Sean Hannity called the GOP's block of Boehner's Plan B "a victory for the American people." He also said, "For those of us that believe we've got to stop stealing from our kids, this is a great night for the country. This will help save America, it's going to get us on the right path." [Fox News, Hannity, 12/20/12]
Hannity: "The Republican Party" Could Take "A Moral Stand To Go Over The [Fiscal] Cliff On Principle." Also during his Fox News show, Hannity said, "If the Republican party, if it means they take a moral stand to go over the cliff on principle, I'm going over the cliff with them." [Fox News, Hannity, 12/20/12 [3]]
Steve Doocy: "You Can Understand Why At The Eleventh Hour" The GOP Is Saying, " 'We Cannot Go Against Our Core Values.' " During the December 21 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, the co-hosts discussed Boehner's failure to rally the GOP to support his Plan B. Co-host Steve Doocy cited the GOP's "core value" of not wanting to raise taxes on the highest-earning Americans as the reason this happened, saying later, "You can understand why, you know, at the eleventh hour they're going, 'We cannot go against our core values.' " [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 12/21/12 [4]]
Breitbart.com: "Conservatives Hold Firm, Defeat Boehner's 'Plan B.' " A post to Breitbart.com under Big Government noted that "Boehner (R-OH) told members of his own conference on Thursday night that there were not enough votes among the party that would support passage of Boehner's tax proposal known as 'Plan B.' " The post was titled, "Conservatives Hold Firm, Defeat Boehner's 'Plan B.' " [Breitbart.com, 12/20/12 [5]]
... While Others Regretted That Plan B Failed To Pass
Hot Air: "Plan B Would Have At Least Given Republicans Some Measure Of Political Cover." In a December 21 post, blogger Ed Morrissey wrote on Hot Air, "While Boehner came under considerable heat for this strategy, he's playing a losing hand overall anyway. ... Plan B would have at least given Republicans some measure of political cover to insist that they weren't blocking middle-class tax stability." [Hot Air, 12/21/12 [6]]
Wash. Post's Rubin: "The House Republicans Have Joined The White House And Senate Democrats In The 'Don't Know How To Govern' Department." In a December 21 post on her Washington Post blog, Jennifer Rubin wrote, "The House Republicans have joined the White House and Senate Democrats in the 'don't know how to govern' department, none of them coming up with a plan that can pass either body, let alone both. GOP aides on Capitol Hill seem genuinely baffled as to what comes next," before outlining hypothetical "Plans C, D, E and F." [The Washington Post, Right Turn, 12/21/12 [7]]
Some Right-Wing Media Questioned Boehner's Speakership ...
Drudge Links To Wash. Post: "Will Boehner's Speakership Survive?" In a collection of links about the failure of Plan B, the Drudge Report linked to a Washington Post article with the text, "Will Boehner's speakership survive?":
[Drudge Report Archives, 12/21/12 [8]]
CNN's Erickson: "John Boehner Is Wounded As A Speaker." On the conservative blog RedState, CNN contributor Erick Erickson wrote that "John Boehner is wounded as a Speaker" following his plan's failure. Erickson continued, "The conservative movement, the Republican base, and enough of his own Republican Conference have given up trusting John Boehner, Eric Cantor, and Kevin McCarthy." [RedState, 12/21/12 [9]]
Fox's Wallace: "The Big Loser In All Of This Is John Boehner." On the December 21 edition of Fox's America's Newsroom, co-host Martha MacCallum discussed the failure of Boehner's Plan B with Fox News host Chris Wallace. MacCallum said, "This was not a good night, clearly, for John Boehner," and added, referring to Boehner's press conference just prior to her remarks, "[W]hen the majority of the questions, or several of them, have to do with whether or not you think you're going to lose your position as Speaker of the House, you got to wonder what's next for him and what's next for this situation." Wallace later said, "The big loser in all of this is John Boehner. I mean, he's the Speaker of the House. It was his caucus. He put this plan up. He took a week at this crucial time to push Plan B. And he ends up with egg on his face." [Fox News, America's Newsroom, 12/21/12 [10]]
... While Others Blamed Obama
WSJ: Obama Is An "All-Or-Nothing Ideological" President, Offered Boehner "Nothing." The Wall Street Journal suggested that the Republican House's "failure to govern ... owes much to President Obama's failure to negotiate with any degree of seriousness." Explaining its point in "raw political terms," the Journal said, "Mr. Boehner offered to break a core GOP principle on taxes and Mr. Obama offered him nothing he could take back to his rank-and-file in return." The paper further derided the "all-or-nothing ideological nature of this presidency." [The Wall Street Journal, 12/21/12 [11]]
Fox's Doocy: Boehner "Misjudged The All-Or-Nothing Ideological Bent Of This President," Obama "Offered Him Nothing." On Fox & Friends Steve Doocy parroted The Wall Street Journal, saying Boehner "misjudged the all-or-nothing ideological bent of this president." Doocy added that Boehner made an offer which "went against his core values" and Obama "offered him nothing," He later said, "the buck stops with the President of the United States, and what we have seen over the last month or so is that through all the negotiations, he was never really serious." [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 12/21/12 [12]]
But Obama's Latest Offer Moved Considerably Towards GOP Position...
Obama's Latest Offer Cut Taxes For More High-Income Individuals. Huffington Post reported that as of December 17, Obama "is no longer insisting that taxes increase on families with income above $250,000. Instead, he is calling for a permanent extension of the Bush tax cuts for incomes of less than $400,000." [Huffington Post, 12/17/12 [13]]
Obama's Latest Offer Cut Social Security Benefits. Obama's offer "included the chained CPI provision as a sweetener to entice wary House Republicans to get on board. The change would reduce the inflationary raises made annually to the federal programs indexed to the CPI, including Social Security." [The Hill, 12/20/12 [14]]
...And Major Figures On The Left Were "Furious" With Obama's Tax And Entitlement Offers
Wash. Post: "A Vocal Contingent On The Left" Was "Furious" After Obama's Fiscal Cliff Offer. The Washington Post reported that "a vocal contingent on the left, both inside and outside Congress," thought that "President Obama's offer already gave away too much, too soon, on taxes, stimulus and entitlements." The article noted that "progressives are still pushing on in hopes of salvaging some of what they fear could be an awful deal," and that "Obama has already conceded more than they'd like on marginal tax rates and Social Security." [The Washington Post, Wonkblog, 12/20/12 [15]]
Politico: "Obama's Latest Offer To Congressional Republicans Crosses Lines That Democrats Have Long Portrayed As Untouchable." Politico reported:
President Barack Obama's latest offer to congressional Republicans crosses lines that Democrats have long portrayed as untouchable. The provision causing the most heartburn for Democrats on Capitol Hill is one that would change the way inflation is measured to ultimately reduce payments to Social Security beneficiaries. [Politico, 12/18/12 [16]]
Wash. Post: "Major Stakeholders On The Left" Are "Angry" Over "Concessions To John Boehner." In The Washington Post's The Plum Line blog, Greg Sargent reported that Damon Silvers, AFL-CIO policy director, told him "that AFL-CIO wants Obama to pull back on the $400,000 threshold and Chained CPI offers." Sargent said:
I'm not sure it's widely understood just how angry some of the major stakeholders on the left are about the latest turns in the fiscal cliff talks. The sight of the White House offering more concessions to John Boehner, only to be met with more GOP intransigence in the form of his absurd Plan B, is stirring bad memories of 2011 and has some on the left insisting that the only proper response is for Obama to rescind his most recent offer.

Snow Leopard may be arriving far sooner than most of us expected, and Microsoft is dropping Entourage in order to replace it with a version of Outlook for the Mac. If that's not exciting enough for this week, other top Apple news involved antiglare screens coming back to the MacBook Pro, more rumors about the Apple tablet, and possible Blu-ray support coming to iTunes. Read on for the roundup:
Snow Leopard cometh soon, brings installation tricks galore: The latest build seeded to developers has gone golden master and could be set for retail release any day now. The latest information suggests that installing Snow Leopard should be a breeze, too.
Office for Mac to get actual version of Outlook in 2010: Hell has frozen over: Microsoft's Mac Business Unit says that the next version of Office for Mac will arrive in 2010 with a genuine Outlook client and better Exchange support.
Antiglare display option makes a quiet return to 15" MacBook Pro: The glossy versus matte debate rages on, but for 15-inch MacBook Pro buyers, the option to choose between the two is back. Apple has apparently conceded to the complaints of some users, though the 13-inch notebook is still glossy-only.
Blu-ray may be less of a bag of hurt with iTunes support: A new rumor suggests that iTunes 9 will include Blu-ray support in addition to other helpful features. Has Blu-ray lost its "bag of hurt" status at Apple?
New trojan that hijacks your Mac's DNS spotted in the wild: Trojan writers aren't particularly clever; they keep recycling the same old Mac OS X trojan over and over, and a new version of a media player trojan has been spotted online. Unfortunately, these trojans count on users not being clever, either.
Debate over existence of 8GB iPhone 3GS rages on: A page on Rogers Wireless' website indicated that the 8GB iPhone 3GS rumor is true while a Rogers spokesperson insists that it was a mere "formatting error." Could the spokesperson be telling the truth or covering for an early slip up? It's hard to say.
Leaks and rumors pile up concerning legendary Apple tablet: Say it with me: iTablet, iTablet, iTablet, hooooooo! More rumors swirl concerning an Apple tablet, coming this fall—or maybe next year.
Become a bona fide iPhone/Mac dev with certificate from UW: A new program from the University of Washington seeks to train a new crop of Mac OS X and iPhone developers. Ars spoke to UW's Kristi Palmer about the program and its potential for online distance learning.
Safari 4.0.3 spiked with stability improvements: Apple has released a minor update to its Web browser this afternoon, which claims to come packed with stability improvements, bug fixes, and security improvements. Will it stop our frequent crashing?
Poll Technica: mystery iMac features: What do you think some of the new features on the next iMac will be? We polled our readers and found that almost half believe the next iMac will come with Blu-ray support.
Have a great weekend!

SNOMED CT has been designated by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) as the official HIT standard for clinical communication and is fundamental to an interoperable electronic health record (EHR). SNOMED CT allows for standardized documentation of findings, interventions, and other clinical information which can be shared electronically across care settings. SNOMED CT will help to improve patient outcomes by giving providers a more complete and consistent picture of a patient's clinical history.
The pharmacy profession has taken the lead in defining MTM services and developing MTM Value Sets, which are subsets of codes used in EHRs and other software. Developing a consistent and standardized set of definitions for MTM services is critical to allow for comparisons in outcomes across various provider types, healthcare settings, and patient populations. In addition, participants in the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) Part D Enhanced MTM Model, which begins in January 2017, are required to document and report clinical information using SNOMED CT.
Stakeholders developed the standardized framework using a multipronged approach, including a live meeting, workgroups, and an open public comment period. Pharmacy professional organizations, Medicare Part D sponsors, pharmacist clinicians, MTM vendors, technology vendors, EHR vendors, integrated delivery networks, government agencies, and academia provided feedback and recommendations.
The standardized framework addresses two principle goals:
The standardized framework will be reviewed and updated by organizations representing the pharmacy profession as evidence from the Enhanced MTM Model becomes available, as innovation in the delivery and documentation of MTM services continue, and as the practice of pharmacy continues to evolve.
Representatives from the pharmacy profession presented the standardized framework to staff from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and CMMI on Oct. 13.
The following organizations support the Standardized Framework for Cross-Walking MTM Services to SNOMED CT Codes as an initial starting point for documenting MTM services using SNOMED CT codes:

Monster opens: Game-dayers can park in a park
The new traffic light on Ivy Road is blinking, and the "monster" is open.
UVA's new parking deck– which some angry neighbors called a "1,200-car monster"– was set to open Wednesday, November 12. But it turns out to be less a monster than a park.
The day before the opening, landscapers were putting the finishing touches on the sylvan 4.5-acre setting. Because the mammoth structure required rerouting a little tributary that feeds into Meadow Creek, architects– armed with $1.5 million of the total $15.75 million budget– seized the opportunity to lush up the landscaping with a curving rock wall and a stone-faced bridge over the babbling brook.
Next to the waterway, a yet-to-be-planted grassy depression will serve as a storm-water retention pond, designed to fill after heavy rains.
Like some so-called "smart" highways, the garage offers its regulars "Zip Tags," tiny transponders that automatically open the garage gates. One ungated feature is the beefy two-lane road through the property that gives anyone traveling south on Emmet a chance to cut through to Ivy Road.
Looking from atop the parking deck to the road below, Rebecca White, UVA's parking and transportation director, promises, "There's no strategy to eliminate that cut-through." That should gratify anyone headed west on Ivy Road who wants to avoid the oft-clogged Ivy-Emmet intersection.
In late March, to placate the angry neighbors, UVA agreed to pay $1.2 million for nearby traffic improvements including a tiny median to deflect traffic from Rothery Road, as well as a new traffic signal and a right-turn-only lane onto Ivy Road.
UVA also plans to foot the bill for coordinating nine nearby traffic signals, an effort slated for completion by November 28, says UVA news officer Dan Heuchert.
The garage opening means the rerouting of three UVA bus lines through the property, which includes a rain-proof shelter for commuters.
While the main users of the garage will be monthly U-Hall-area parkers displaced by arena construction, the garage will open its gates for game-dayers– $10 for football, $5 for basketball.
Someday, UVA may replace its nearby Cavalier Inn (as well as a brick house) for dormitories fronting Ivy Road. "The last I heard from the housing people," says Heuchert, "they were talking about 10 to 15 years from now."
Spaces will go for $10 for football games, $5 for basketball.
UVA project manager David Sweet, at left, says wildflowers and a variety of grasses will fill the meadow below.

PNG PetitionMay 22, 2003
Jeffrey explains far better than I could why this is important, but if you develop web pages in any capacity, go sign the PNG petition. You'll be glad you did in 1 to 3 years.
For real-life examples now, load up your trusty PNG-friendly browser (NN7, Mozilla, Opera, Safari, even IE5/Mac, whatever, as long as it's not IE/Win) and point it to these pages — 1, 2.
update: Also check Owen Briggs' thoughts on the matter. Good points, Owen.
Reader Comments
pwahahah doesnt it suck to suddenly have no comments in your comment box after days of high traffic?? ok here's a pity comment to make you feel better.
Somehow, all the tears are worth it now.
Actually, IE does have PNG alpha transparency, but it does it in an IE specific way. It sucks that it has to be done that way, but it does work, I have done proof of concept on it in the past. Here is a good page that explains (though I think the script approach used is poor):
I wrote a JSP custom tag that rewrites itself if src is set to png and the browser is IE. Unfortunately I can't share it, but it wasn't difficult.
This comment is a repost from another blog:
A List Apart also ran a story 6 months ago (wow, has it been dormant that long already?) about using the filter method.
Way too much work for me, and it increases the bandwidth to download two separate images. I've resorted to contenting myself with either being happy with a single-bit alpha channel and proper dithering, or no transparency at all. It's a shame this is so tricky, but such as it is, I'll live.
Still doesn't mean Microsoft is off the hook for IE7 though!

Individually Advised Curriculum
Individually Advised Curriculum
Grinnell's flexible curriculum means you'll have significant responsibility for designing a coherent and compelling course of study—but you won't do so alone. Your faculty adviser will be with you every step of the way, helping you select a major when the time is right during your first four semesters, and guiding you through options such as mentored research, off-campus study, teaching certification, an internship, or a concentration.
Working closely with your adviser, you'll develop a provisional four-year plan that reflects a diverse array of academic disciplines while incorporating study at the advanced level in one or more fields. The provisional plan usually requires revision, but each change will reflect your evolving sense of what it means to be liberally educated.
Your adviser may suggests areas of study that you might be inclined to avoid; often, those less-traveled avenues of inquiry are fields of knowledge or forms of intellectual discipline that will enrich and balance your chosen course of study. Remember that skills, methods of inquiry, and knowledge often transfer across disciplines. The creative application of these capabilities in new contexts may lead to new insights or solutions. Breadth of study will prepare you to approach questions not yet formulated, in fields and professions not yet imagined.

Campbell '92 Appointed to NAWM Board of Directorsby Jim Amidon • September 29, 2005 Share:
Steve Campbell '92 has been appointed to the Board of Directors of the National Association of Wabash Men, the College's official alumni governing body.
Campbell, who is deputy mayor of communications for the City of Indianapolis, assumes the position vacated when Mark Dewart '74 was elected to be the Board's recorder at meetings over Homecoming weekend. The NAWM Board's president is William "Jay" Fisher '66; Jim Dimos '83 is vice president.
Campbell will serve the final year of Dewart's term and will then run as an incumbent in next spring's alumni elections.
"We are very excited to have someone with Steve Campbell's abilities on the Board of Directors of the NAWM," said Tom Runge '71, director of alumni and parent relations at Wabash. Steve's involvement in politics and experience in communications in Indianapolis, both at the state and city level, will be valuable assets for the Board and, ultimately, for our students."
Campbell's will join the Board for its January meeting.

Hubble Deep Field South Unveils Myriad Galaxies
A NASA Hubble Space Telescope view down a 12 billion light-year long corridor of space loaded with a dazzling assortment of thousands of never-before seen galaxies.
This picture is the culmination of a 10-day-long observation called the Hubble Deep Field South (HDF-S) which was carried out in October 1998 by a team of astronomers at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) and the Goddard Space Flight Center.
This new "far-look" complements the original Hubble "deep field" taken in late 1995, when Hubble was aimed at a small patch of space near the Big Dipper. The new region is in the constellation Tucana, near the south celestial pole.
Hubble's sharp vision allows astronomers to sort galaxy shapes. The image is dominated by beautiful pinwheel-shaped disk galaxies, which are like our Milky Way. The picture also contains a variety of peculiar-shaped galaxies that are in collision with companion galaxies. Elliptical galaxies appear as reddish blobs. A sprinkling of foreground stars (belonging to our Milky Way) appear as bright points with "diffraction spikes" an artifact of all telescope optics.
The colors in the pictures are a natural representation of the galaxies' stellar populations. Blue corresponds to young hot stars. Red may indicate older stars, starlight scattered by dust, or very distant starlight that has been stretched to redder wavelengths by the universe's expansion.
Follow-up observations with large ground-based telescopes in the southern hemisphere will establish the distances to the galaxies. This will help astronomers understand the history of the universe because the galaxies represent the universe at different epochs, depending on their distances.

CLOan Brand
Corrupted, ungodly, synthetic,or counterfeit ABS is lumped under the derogatory umbrella term CLO, an abbreviation for Counterfeit Leg-Ore. CLOan ABS is believed to have originated in the NegaVerse as a way to corrupt and sabotage the creations of Legitimitium engineers.
CLOan Brands are the symbols that represent CLO-aligned factions. The symbols themselves carry unholy power, and CLOan leaders will sometimes cruelly brand them onto captured legitimate ABS forces, corrupting and dominating them. Exorcising CLOan influence can be extremely difficult once such a Brand has been inflicted. Creatures that are not corrupted but rather born to a particular Brand are members of the CLOan Genus.
Chief among the CLOan factions is the NegaVerse, ruled by the Nega-BlokTrix, but they also include smaller and less known variants such as Best-Loch, led by the omnicidal sorcerer War-Lock. They are hated within the BrikVerse, and many factions have dedicated millennia to eradicate them, because CLOans result in such vastly inferior constructions and defect-plagued devices that they produce a sense of disgust in all who witness them. Legions of righteous paladins such as the Legiteye Knights and the Oktan Rangers, along with the mysterious Order strive constantly in their CLOan Wars with no end in sight, dedicating themselves to their holy crusade against evil forces fighting under the symbols of the CLOan Brands. Despite this, the parasites that are CLOan Brands always return, mainly due to the fact that they are much cheaper to obtain and produce than Leg-Ore ABS.
Some factions embrace these mutations of ABS, and allow them to assimilate with their minifigs. This practice is usually frowned upon by the BrikVerse at large. Other factions treat the CLOan Brands as you do a street vendor; that is, by ignoring them completely.
CLOan Brands can be hard to spot. But constant vigilance will indicate which is pure ABS and which is not. To aid you, here are some key distinguishing features.
- CLOan bricks have larger studs
- Said studs don't usually stay together
- They have different shades of colors
- Their minifigs are grotesque monsters
- There is a collection of garish stickers and decals
- CLOan elements are cheaper quality and break easier
- You may notice spontaneous vomiting in the presence of CLOan elements

Life As a 'Nymphomaniac' Body Double
Lars von Trier's new movie "Nymphomaniac" – a controversial Danish film set to hit the U.S. in the spring — carries the familiar line in the credits stating that no animal was harmed during shooting of the movie. But there is another disclosure: Professional actors were replaced by several body doubles for the more explicit sex scenes.
Naked stand-ins aren't rare in the movie business, but for a racy movie like "Nymphomaniac," they are akin to the indispensable stuntmen who carry the most intense scenes in action flicks. For Elvira Friis, a Danish adult film actor in her late 20s, taking the role of body double for Stacy Martin and Charlotte Gainsbourg, even opened the door to having her mother finally be comfortable to talk about her daughter's job.
"My mom never speaks with her friends about what I am doing, but she straight away told her friend that I am playing in a von Trier movie," Friis said during an interview in her Copenhagen apartment shortly after "Nymphomaniac" started showing in Europe.
"Nymphomaniac" has become one of the most buzzed-about foreign films in some time, and the anticipation has been fueled by the release of a series of tantalizing clips from the movie. According to Rotten Tomatoes, the movie aggregation website, "Nymphomaniac" so far has a 100 percent rating from critics, and 95 percent of audience members want to see it. The Variety review of the film said "Racy subject aside, the film provides a good-humored yet serious-minded look at sexual self-liberation, thick with references to art, music, religion and literature, even as it pushes the envelope with footage of acts previously relegated to the sphere of pornography."

South Dakota Retailers Association Supports Dairy Provisions of Farm Bill
(NPN) The South Dakota Retailers Association has joined 42 other food-related and retailer groups in supporting the dairy provisions in the for the dairy provisions as included in the House-passed Farm Bill.
In a letter to Senate Agriculture Committee Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) and Ranking Member Thad Cochran (R-Miss.), the groups urged the senators to reject "any new government dairy 'supply management' program." A new program to impose quotas on milk supplies, called the Dairy Market Stabilization Program, was included in the Farm Bill as passed by the Senate in June.
"We have learned from past experience that government management of commodity supply and demand does not work," the groups wrote. "Restricting milk supplies will increase dairy product costs for consumers, will result in fewer jobs and will hurt dairy industry growth."
In July, the House rejected the Dairy Market Stabilization Program by more than a two-to-one margin, 291-135. In a rare show of bipartisanship, 95 Democrats joined 196 Republicans in support of compromise dairy language that calls for a safety net for dairy farmers without also imposing limits on the amount of milk they can sell.
"The House bill has accepted and incorporated over 75 percent of what was approved by the Senate," the letter continued. "It establishes an effective and expanded revenue insurance program for dairy farmers that will help them endure tough economic times, while removing an unnecessary regulatory burden on dairy businesses and providing opportunity for market expansion, new jobs and economic growth."
The list of groups includes national organizations like the Grocery Manufacturers Association, the Food Marketing Institute, the National Grocers Association, the National Restaurant Association and the National Council of Chain Restaurants, as well as local groups like the Dairy Institute of California, the Northeast Dairy Foods Association, the Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association and the Michigan Grocers Association.
"This so-called stabilization program in the Senate-passed bill will unnecessarily raise dairy prices on millions of American families at a time when many cannot afford higher grocery bills," said Jerry Slominski, senior vice president of legislative and economic affairs for the International Dairy Foods Association, one of the proponents of the House-passed dairy language and signers of the letter. "It doesn't make any sense for our government to recommend healthy and nutritious dairy foods and to then turn around and impose programs that will make milk, yogurt and cheese more expensive. "

GRAHAM � A 77-year-old Haw River man was sentenced to at least six years in prison last week for numerous drug offenses, including trafficking painkillers.
Charles J. McDuffie, 77, of Trollingwood Road, Haw River, pleaded guilty to 10 drug-related charges, most involving methadone and oxycodone.
Mebane police charged McDuffie with selling oxycodone and methadone and possession with intent to sell/deliver the drugs on March 20, 2009, according to warrants. On Jan. 7, 2011, Mebane police charged him with trafficking more than 14 grams of the drugs, as well as manufacturing a schedule IV controlled substance, alprazolam.
McDuffie pleaded to a slightly lesser charge of trafficking more than 4 grams but less than 14 grams of methadone. The charges were consolidated into one trafficking charge and a sell schedule II controlled substance charge, according to court documents.
In all, McDuffie pleaded guilty to: two counts of trafficking opium, two counts of manufacturing a schedule II controlled substance, one count of manufacturing a schedule IV controlled substance, two counts of possession with intent to sell/deliver a schedule II controlled substance, two counts of sell a schedule II controlled substance, maintaining a dwelling for a controlled substance and maintaining a vehicle for a controlled substance.
Superior Court Judge James E. Hardin Jr. issued a 70- to 93-month sentence on the trafficking charge and a concurrent 17- to 21-month sentence on the selling charge.
Trafficking carries a mandatory minimum 70- to 93-month active sentence and a mandatory minimum $50,000 fine, documents said.
Outside the courtroom, members of McDuffie�s family disputed the charges but declined to go on record.
The judge denied a request by defense attorney Dan Monroe to stay sentencing for several weeks so McDuffie and relatives could make living arrangements after Alamance County Assistant District Attorney Gene Morris said he couldn�t agree to a stay in sentencing.

The Beatles trail
Mathew Street, ten minutes' walk west of Lime Street Station, is now a little enclave of Beatles nostalgia, most of it bogus and typified by the Cavern Walks Shopping Centre, with a bronze statue of the boys in the atrium. The Cavern club, where the band was first spotted by Brian Epstein, saw 275 Beatles' gigs between 1961 and 1963; it closed in 1966 and was partly demolished in 1973, though a latter-day successor, the Cavern Club at 10 Mathew St, complete with souvenir shop, was rebuilt on the original site. The Cavern Pub, across the way, boasts a coiffed Lennon mannequin lounging against the wall and an exterior "Wall of Fame" highlighting the names of all the bands who appeared at the club between 1957 and 1973 as well as brass discs commemorating every Liverpool chart-topper since 1952 – the city has produced more UK No. 1 singles than any other. There's more Beatlemania at The Beatles Shop, 31 Mathew St, which claims to have the largest range of Beatles gear in the world.
For a personal and social history, head to the Albert Dock for The Beatles Story, which traces the band's rise from the early days to their disparate solo careers. Then it's on to the two houses where John Lennon and Paul McCartney grew up. Both 20 Forthlin Rd, home to the McCartney family from 1955 to 1964, and the rather more genteel Mendips, where Lennon lived with his Aunt Mimi and Uncle George between 1945 and 1963, are only accessible on pre-booked National Trust minibus tours , which run from both the city centre and Speke Hall, seven miles south . The experience is disarmingly intimate, whether you're sitting in John Lennon's bedroom – which has its original wallpaper – on a replica bed looking out, as he would have done, onto his front lawn, or simply entering Paul's tiny room and gazing at pictures of his childhood.

Martha Julia Cartmell with one of her students from Toyo Eiwa
Dying just a few months short of her 100th birthday, Martha Julia Cartmell is a fascinating figure in the history of both Hamilton, Ontario and Tokyo, Japan. Orphaned at the age of 13, she was sent to live in Hamilton. Educated at the Ontario Normal College in Toronto, she graduated as a teacher.
In 1882 Cartmell travelled to Tokyo, Japan, having accepted as her calling the assignment of Christian missionary to women and girls. Cartmell undertook an intensive course of study to learn the Japanese language in order to more effectively communicate with those to whom she was to minister.
Shortly after her arrival in Tokyo she discovered that women were exempt from formal education. She made it her mandate to open an academy for girls, and applied to the Imperial Palace for permission to found the school. The school opened in November of 1884 and remains open to this day. In 1989 a four year university for women was established on the school complex; in 1993 a graduate school was added.
Each year persons associated with the school visit Centenary United Church in Hamilton, the site of Cartmell's appointment as first Methodist Woman Missionary to Japan. They consider the church to be a shrine.

Hubble Finds 'Dorian Gray' Galaxy
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope quashed the possibility that what was previously believed to be a toddler galaxy in the nearby universe may actually be considered an adult. Called I Zwicky 18, this galaxy has a youthful appearance that resembles galaxies typically found only in the early universe. Hubble has now found faint, older stars within this galaxy, suggesting that the galaxy may have formed at the same time as most other galaxies.
Hubble data also allowed astronomers for the first time to identify Cepheid variable stars in I Zwicky 18. These flashing stellar mile-markers were used to determine that I Zwicky 18 is 59 million light-years from Earth, almost 10 million light-years more distant than previously believed.
Hubble Finds Mature Galaxy Masquerading as Toddler
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has found a galaxy that is the equivalent of the painting of Dorian Gray, a portrait in an Oscar Wilde novel that appears mysteriously to age.
Like the fictional painting, the galaxy I Zwicky 18 appears to look older the more astronomers study it. What astronomers once thought was a toddler galaxy by galactic standards may now be considered an adult.
The galaxy's youthful appearance was identified some 40 years ago through observations at the Palomar Observatory. Those studies showed that the galaxy erupted with star formation billions of years after its galactic neighbors. Galaxies resembling I Zwicky 18's youthful appearance are typically found only in the early universe. Astronomers were thrilled that a newly forming galaxy like I Zwicky 18 could be studied nearby to learn about galactic evolution, which is normally only observable at great distances.
New Hubble data have quashed that possibility. The telescope found faint, older stars contained within the galaxy, suggesting its star formation started at least 1 billion years ago and possibly as much as 10 billion years ago. The galaxy, therefore, may have formed at the same time as most other galaxies.
"Although the galaxy is not as youthful as was once believed, it is certainly developmentally challenged and unique in the nearby universe," said astronomer Alessandra Aloisi from the Space Telescope Science Institute and the European Space Agency in Baltimore, Md., who led the new study.
Spectroscopic observations with ground-based telescopes have shown that I Zwicky 18 is almost exclusively composed of hydrogen and helium, the main ingredients created in the Big Bang. Heavier elements are forged within the cores of stars and blasted into space when the stars die. The galaxy's primordial makeup suggests that its rate of star formation has been much lower than that of other galaxies of similar age. The galaxy has been studied with most of NASA's telescopes, including the Spitzer Space Telescope, the Chandra X-ray Observatory, and the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE). However, it remains a mystery why I Zwicky 18 formed so few stars in the past, and why it is forming so many new stars right now.
The Hubble data also suggest that I Zwicky 18 is 59 million light-years from Earth, almost 10 million light-years more distant than previously believed. While this is still in our own backyard, as measured by extragalactic standards, the galaxy's larger-than-expected distance may explain why astronomers have had difficulty detecting older, fainter stars within the galaxy until now. In fact, the faint, old stars in I Zwicky 18 are almost at the limit of Hubble's resolution and sensitivity.
Aloisi and her team discerned the new distance by observing flashing stellar mile-markers within I Zwicky 18. These massive stars, called Cepheid variable stars, pulse in a regular rhythm. The timing of their pulsations is directly related to their brightness. By comparing the stars' actual brightness with their observed brightness, astronomers can precisely measure their distance. The team determined the observed brightness of three Cepheids and compared it with the actual brightness predicted by theoretical models. These models were calculated specifically for I Zwicky 18's deficiency in heavy elements, indicating the galaxy's stars formed before these elements were abundant in the universe. This analysis allowed the astronomers to determine the galaxy's distance. The Cepheid distance also was validated through another distance indicator, specifically the observed brightness of the brightest red stars older than 1 billion years.
Cepheid variable stars have been studied for decades and have been instrumental in the determination of the scale of our universe. This is the first time, however, that variable stars with so few heavy elements were found. This may provide unique new insights into the properties of variable stars, which is now a topic of ongoing study.
Aloisi and her team published their results in the Oct. 1 issue of the Astrophysical Journal Letters.
Aloisi's team consists of Francesca Annibali, Jennifer Mack, and Roeland van der Marel of the Space Telescope Science Institute; Marco Sirianni of the Space Telescope Science Institute and the European Space Agency; Abhijit Saha of the National Optical Astronomy Observatories; and Gisella Clementini, Rodrigo Contreras, Giuliana Fiorentino, Marcella Marconi, Ilaria Musella, and Monica Tosi of the Italian National Astrophysics Institutes in Bologna and Naples.

History of Diabetes
English physiologist Sir Edward Albert Sharpey-Schafer's study of the pancreas leads him to the discovery of a substance that would normally be produced in non-diabetics: insulin. The name comes from the Latin insula, meaning island, referencing the insulin-producing islets of Langerhans in the pancreas.
Elliott Joslin, MD, publishes the first edition of The Treatment of Diabetes Mellitus. A clinician and educator, Joslin is renowned throughout the world as one of the most influential voices in diabetes care.
Frederick Banting, MD, and his then student assistant, Charles Best, MD, extract insulin from dog pancreases. Banting and Best were working in laboratory space at the University of Toronto provided by Professor J.J.R. Macleod. They inject the insulin into dogs whose pancreases have been removed, and the animals' blood sugar levels go down. James Collip purifies the extract so that it can be used in humans. Banting and Macleod were awarded the 1923 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, though the contributions of all four men have been recognized as important in the discovery of insulin.
Eli Lilly and Company begins commercial production of insulin. In the decades that follow, manufacturers develop a variety of slower-acting insulins, the first being protamine insulin introduced by Novo Nordisk in 1936.
At a time when less than half of all babies born to mothers with diabetes survive, Priscilla White, MD, starts the Joslin Pregnancy Clinic. Fifty years later, Dr. White achieves a 90 percent survival rate among babies born to her patients.
The American Diabetes Association is founded to address the increasing incidence of diabetes and the complications that develop from the disease.
Rachmiel Levine, MD, discovers that insulin works like a key, transporting glucose into cells.
Becton Dickinson and Company begins production of a standardized insulin syringe designed and approved by the American Diabetes Association.
The American Dietetic Association, and the U.S. Public Health Service devise a meal planner that divides foods into six groups, or "exchanges", based on the calories, carbohydrate, protein, and fat in each serving of food.
The American Diabetes Association funds its first direct research grants.
Tablets for testing urine glucose become widely available, and urine test strips appear over the next few years. These options are simpler than using Benedict's solution, which must be mixed with urine and heated over boiling water.
Sulfonylureas, oral medications that stimulate the pancreas to release more insulin, are available. New, more potent forms of these drugs will become available later.
Using radioimmunoassay technology, Solomon Berson, MD and Rosalyn Yalow, PhD develop a method for measuring insulin in the blood. They notice that some people with diabetes still make their own insulin, and they identify "insulin-dependent" (type 1) and "non-insulin-dependent" (type 2) diabetes.
Glucagon, a hormone produced by the pancreas that raises glucose levels, is introduced by Eli Lilly and Company as a treatment for severe hypoglycemia.
The Ames Company introduces the first strips for testing blood glucose by color code.
The first successful pancreas transplant is performed at the University of Minnesota Hospital.
The Ames Company introduces the first glucose meter.
Insulin receptors are discovered on cell membranes. This discovery raises the possibility that missing or defective insulin receptors may prevent glucose from entering the cells, thus contributing to the insulin resistance of type 2 diabetes.
The relationship between blood vessel disease and hyperglycemia is reported.
U100 insulin is introduced. With the availability of this single concentration and with insulin syringes marked with only a U100 scale, frequency of dosing errors could be reduced.
Development of the Biostator enabled continuous glucose monitoring and closed loop insulin infusion.
Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLAs) are discovered on cell surfaces. People with type 1 diabetes have specific patterns of HLA that are associated with varying levels of risk for diabetes.
The first insulin pumps were invented.
Rosalyn Yalow, PhD is awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine for her work in measuring insulin in the body.
Boston researchers develop a test to measure glycosylated hemoglobin (A1C). A1C testing becomes the gold standard for measuring long-term diabetes control.
Researchers at the City of Hope National Medical Center in Duarte, California, and Genentech, Inc., in San Francisco, induce E. coli bacteria to produce insulin identical to human insulin.
Portable insulin pumps are introduced and researchers achieve normal blood glucose levels in patients using them. But, due to their large size, they are impractical at this time.
The National Diabetes Information Clearinghouse is created by the federal government to gather and document all diabetes literature.
The National Diabetes Data Group develops a new diabetes classification system: 1) insulin-dependent or type 1 diabetes, 2) non-insulin-dependent or type 2 diabetes, 3) gestational diabetes, and 4) diabetes associated with other syndromes or conditions.
A new animal model of type 1 diabetes, the non-obese diabetic (NOD) strain of mouse is described in Japan.
Introduction of the basal-bolus concept enabled "intensive insulin therapy" to be used in the clinic to effectively treat people with type 1 diabetes.
The FDA approves human insulin produced by genetically altered bacteria.
A 64K autoantibody is discovered and is found to be associated with type 1 diabetes.
A link between hypoglycemia and brain metabolism is established.
Second-generation sulfonylureas enter the market allowing patients to take smaller doses and with reduced side effects.
The insulin molecule is identified to be a target of autoimmune response in individuals with type 1 diabetes.
Scientists discover a relationship between pregnancy and the worsening of diabetic retinopathy.
The National Diabetes Data Group reports that type 2 diabetes is more common among African Americans, Mexican Americans, and Native Americans than among Caucasians. Fifty percent of all Pima Indians in Arizona over the age of 35 have diabetes – the highest rate in the world.
The 64K autoantibody originally discovered in 1982 is found to be predictive of type 1 diabetes.
Researchers determine that tight control of glucose levels during pregnancy is important for the health of the baby, and continue to study how diabetes increases the risk for birth defects.
American Diabetes Association releases its first Standards of Care to guide physicians in the treatment of diabetes.
Glucose is discovered to be distributed into muscle and fat cells via a transporter known as GLUT-4. Understanding how glucose is transported from the bloodstream into cells to be used as fuel is important to locating different drug targets that can improve insulin sensitivity.
The 64K autoantibody associated with type 1 diabetes is identified. This protein, GAD, or glutamate decarboxylase, is an important enzyme involved in cellular communication in the brain and pancreas. The immune system's attack on GAD triggers a progressive autoimmune response that leads to diabetes.
The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) showed that keeping blood glucose levels as close to normal as possible slows the onset and progression of eye, kidney, and nerve diseases caused by diabetes. In fact, it demonstrated that any sustained lowering of blood glucose helps, even if the person has a history of poor control.
Captopril is FDA approved to treat end-stage renal disease.
Leptin, the fat cell hormone that modulates feeding behavior and hormone secretion, is cloned.
The Scandinavian Simvistatin Survival Study (4S) showed that cholesterol lowering with statins markedly reduced the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke or death. The effect was greatest in individuals with diabetes.
The incretin hormone GLP-1 is discovered. Incretin hormones are secreted from the gut in response to food, and encourage the body to produce insulin. Discovery of GLP-1 will later lead to a new class of diabetes drugs that can increase insulin secretion in response to glucose, and even increase the amount of beta cells in the pancreas.
The drug metformin becomes available in the U.S. Metformin is a biguanide that prevents glucose production in the liver.
The drug acarbose, brand name Precose (Bayer Corporation) becomes available in the U.S. Acarbose is an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor that slows digestion of some carbohydrates.
Lispro (a lysine-proline analog) is introduced by Eli Lilly and Company as the world's fastest acting insulin.
Troglitazone, brand name Rezulin (Parke-Davis), is approved by the FDA. It is the first in a class of drugs known as thiazolidinediones, and it improves insulin sensitivity in muscle cells. It is eventually removed from the market due to liver toxicity. Rosiglitazone and pioglitazone, also in this drug class, are later brought on to the market.
The terms "insulin-dependent diabetes" (IDDM) and "non-insulin-dependent diabetes" (NIDDM) had long been used to describe different groups of diabetes patients. The terms type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes are now accepted to define diabetes by cause rather than treatment. In addition, the fasting glucose level for diagnosing diabetes is lowered from 140 mg/dl to 126 mg/dl.
Repaglinide, brand name Prandin (Novo Nordisk) is developed. Repaglinide belongs to a class of drugs known as meglitinides. They stimulate insulin secretion in the presence of glucose.
The United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) shows that people with type 2 diabetes who practice tight control of blood sugar levels and blood pressure levels reduce their risk of complications, similar to the results of the DCCT in people with type 1 diabetes. Together these two studies transform the nature of diabetes care around the world.
Treatment with the anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody, hOKT3gamma1(Ala-Ala), slows the deterioration of insulin production and improves metabolic control during the first year of type 1 diabetes in the majority of patients.
The American Diabetes Association defines prediabetes as impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and/or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). IFG is defined as a fasting blood glucose of 100-125 mg/dl, and IGT is defined as a glucose level from 140 mg/dl – 199 mg/dl two hours after consuming a glucose-rich drink. Later, A1C levels of 5.7% to 6.4% are also used to identify individuals with prediabetes.
Exenatide, brand name Byetta, is approved in the U.S. as a first-in-class incretin mimetic (GLP-1) drug to treat type 2 diabetes. An injectable drug, exenatide works by increasing insulin production in response to blood glucose levels.
Pramlintide, brand name Symlin, is approved in the U.S. as an injectable adjunct treatment for people who use insulin at mealtimes but still fail to achieve desirable blood glucose levels.
FDA approves JANUVIA (sitagliptin phosphate), the first in a new class of drugs known as DPP-4 inhibitors that enhance the body's ability to lower elevated blood sugar. DPP-4 is an enzyme that naturally blocks GLP-1 from working, so by inhibiting this enzyme, GLP-1 works in the gut to promote insulin secretion.
The results of the ACCORD, ADVANCE and VADT studies are published and presented at the American Diabetes Association Scientific Sessions. All three studies fail to show a benefit of intensive glycemic control on cardiovascular outcomes in people with type 2 diabetes who are at high cardiovascular risk. The results from these studies lead to clinical recommendations that call for a more individualized approach for setting glycemic goals and treatment targets.
FDA approves Invokana (Canagliflozin), the first in a new class of drugs know as the SGLT-2 inhibitors, for lowering elevated blood sugar in patients with type 2 diabetes. SGLT-2 inhibitors block the activity of sodium glucose transport proteins in the kidney, reducing glucose re-uptake and increasing secretion of glucose in the urine.

Instagram just keeps changing daily, and it's so hard to keep up, but these new features are going to change your experience.
Currently, if you are using Instagram Stories, you are posting your own content, but that may change with the newest feature that Instagram is rolling out and is currently in a test phase.
When going to "Share" an Instagram post that isn't yours to another person, the new function will give you the option to repost that person's story to your Stories feed, according to TechCrunch.
Currently, it doesn't seem to be rolled out yet to Business Users over 10K so I can't test the quality right now. However, this will be fun for people wanting to repost photos or video that they are included in without having to use a Third-Party App to do so.
Here's an example of how it works:
How to re-share an Instagram post to your Story
Here's a demo of Instagram's reshare-to-Story feature. It's kind of like regramming, but only for posting to Stories. Video clips via Zachary Shakked
So with the example, it shows that it does attach the name of the user to the story, so that is helpful, and you won't have to worry about art being stolen or copyright issues. You can, however, opt out to letting people share your content. There will be a function in your options menu that has a toggle button, "Allow Resharing to Stories."
As if that wasn't enough within changes, so comes the end of the days of creeping. Though Instagram had employed this function before, it looks like it's back with a vengeance: alerting people if you've screenshot their stories.

Good bye freedom to screenshot IG stories. ???? Thank you, Instagram for the warning.
